PRIMERA LECTURA
Amarás a tu prójimo como a ti mismo.
Lectura del libro del Levítico 19, 1-2.17-18
El Señor habló a Moisés:
«Di a la comunidad de los hijos de Israel:
“Sed santos, porque yo, el Señor, vuestro Dios, soy santo.
No odiarás de corazón a tu hermano, pero reprenderás a tu prójimo, para que no cargues tú con su pecado.
No te vengarás de los hijos de tu pueblo ni les guardarás rencor, sino que amarás a tu prójimo como a ti mismo.
Yo soy el Señor”».
Palabra de Dios.
Sal 102,1-2.3-4.8 y 10. 12-13
R. El Señor es compasivo y misericordioso.
Bendice, alma mía, al Señor,
y todo mi ser a su santo nombre.
Bendice, alma mía, al Señor,
y no olvides sus beneficios. R.
Él perdona todas tus culpas
y cura todas tus enfermedades;
él rescata tu vida de la fosa
y te colma de gracia y de ternura. R.
El Señor es compasivo y misericordioso,
lento a la ira y rico en clemencia.
No nos trata como merecen nuestros pecados
ni nos paga según nuestras culpas. R.
Como dista el oriente del ocaso,
así aleja de nosotros nuestros delitos.
Como un padre siente ternura por sus hijos,
siente el Señor ternura por los que lo temen. R.
SEGUNDA LECTURA
Todo es vuestro, vosotros de Cristo, y Cristo de Dios.
Lectura de la primera carta del apóstol san Pablo a los Corintios 3, 16-23
Hermanos:
¿No sabéis que sois templo de Dios y que el Espíritu de Dios habita en vosotros?
Si alguno destruye el templo de Dios, Dios lo destruirá a él; porque el templo de Dios es santo: y ese templo sois vosotros.
Que nadie se engañe. Si alguno de vosotros se cree sabio en este mundo, que se haga necio para llegar a ser sabio.
Porque la sabiduría de este mundo es necedad ante Dios, como está escrito: «Él caza a los sabios en su astucia». Y también: «El Señor penetra los pensamientos de los sabios y conoce que son vanos».
Así, pues, que nadie se gloríe en los hombres, pues todo es vuestro: Pablo, Apolo, Cefas, el mundo, la vida, la muerte, lo presente, lo futuro. Todo es vuestro, vosotros de Cristo, y Cristo de Dios.
Palabra de Dios.
Aleluya Heb 4, 12ad
R. Aleluya, aleluya, aleluya.
La palabra de Dios es viva y eficaz;
juzga los deseos e intenciones del corazón. R.
EVANGELIO
Amad a vuestros enemigos.
Lectura del santo Evangelio según san Mateo 5, 38-48
En aquel tiempo, dijo Jesús a sus discípulos:
«Habéis oído que se dijo: “Ojo por ojo, diente por diente”. Pero yo os digo: no hagáis frente al que os agravia. Al contrario, si uno te abofetea en la mejilla derecha, preséntale la otra; al que quiera ponerte pleito para quitarte la túnica, dale también el manto; a quien te requiera para caminar una milla, acompáñale dos; a quien te pide, dale, y al que te pide prestado, no lo rehuyas.
Habéis oído que se dijo: “Amarás a tu prójimo y aborrecerás a tu enemigo”.
Pero yo os digo: amad a vuestros enemigos, y rezad por los que os persiguen, para que seáis hijos de vuestro Padre celestial, que hace salir su sol sobre malos y buenos, y manda la lluvia a justos e injustos.
Porque, si amáis a los que os aman, ¿qué premio tendréis? ¿No hacen lo mismo también los publicanos? Y, si saludáis solo a vuestros hermanos, ¿qué hacéis de extraordinario? ¿No hacen lo mismo también los gentiles? Por tanto, sed perfectos, como vuestro Padre celestial es perfecto».
Palabra del Señor.

READING OF THE DAY
First reading from the book of Leviticus
LV 19:1-2, 17-18
The LORD said to Moses,
“Speak to the whole Israelite community and tell them:
Be holy, for I, the LORD, your God, am holy.
“You shall not bear hatred for your brother or sister in your heart.
Though you may have to reprove your fellow citizen,
do not incur sin because of him.
Take no revenge and cherish no grudge against any of your people.
You shall love your neighbor as yourself.
I am the LORD.”
Second reading from the first letter of St. Paul to Corinthians
1 COR 3:16-23
Brothers and sisters:
Do you not know that you are the temple of God,
and that the Spirit of God dwells in you?
If anyone destroys God’s temple, God will destroy that person;
for the temple of God, which you are, is holy.
Let no one deceive himself.
If any one among you considers himself wise in this age,
let him become a fool, so as to become wise.
For the wisdom of this world is foolishness in the eyes of God,
for it is written:
God catches the wise in their own ruses,
and again:
The Lord knows the thoughts of the wise,
that they are vain.
So let no one boast about human beings, for everything belongs to you,
Paul or Apollos or Cephas,
or the world or life or death,
or the present or the future:
all belong to you, and you to Christ, and Christ to God.
GOSPEL OF THE DAY
From the Gospel according to Matthew
MT 5:38-48
Jesus said to his disciples:
“You have heard that it was said,
An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth.
But I say to you, offer no resistance to one who is evil.
When someone strikes you on your right cheek,
turn the other one as well.
If anyone wants to go to law with you over your tunic,
hand over your cloak as well.
Should anyone press you into service for one mile,
go for two miles.
Give to the one who asks of you,
and do not turn your back on one who wants to borrow.
“You have heard that it was said,
You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy.
But I say to you, love your enemies
and pray for those who persecute you,
that you may be children of your heavenly Father,
for he makes his sun rise on the bad and the good,
and causes rain to fall on the just and the unjust.
For if you love those who love you, what recompense will you have?
Do not the tax collectors do the same?
And if you greet your brothers only,
what is unusual about that?
Do not the pagans do the same?
So be perfect, just as your heavenly Father is perfect.”
