12th Sunday in Ordinary Time

Date: June 21, 2020

New American Bible readings
First reading (Jeremiah 20: 10–13)
A reading from the book of the prophet Jeremiah.
Jeremiah said: “I hear the whisperings of many: ‘Terror on every side! Denounce! let us denounce him!’ All those who were my friends are on the watch for any misstep of mine. ‘Perhaps he will be trapped; then we can prevail, and take our vengeance on him.’ But the LORD is with me, like a mighty champion: my persecutors will stumble, they will not triumph. In their failure they will be put to utter shame, to lasting, unforgettable confusion. O LORD of hosts, you who test the just, who probe mind and heart, let me witness the vengeance you take on them, for to you I have entrusted my cause. Sing to the LORD, praise the LORD, for he has rescued the life of the poor from the power of the wicked!”

Second reading (Romans 5: 12–15)

A reading from the letter of Saint Paul to the Romans.

Brothers and sisters: Through one man sin entered the world, and through sin, death, and thus death came to all men, inasmuch as all sinned—for up to the time of the law, sin was in the world, though sin is not accounted when there is no law. But death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over those who did not sin after the pattern of the trespass of Adam, who is the type of the one who was to come. But the gift is not like the transgression. For if by the transgression of the one the many died, how much more did the grace of God and the gracious gift of the one man Jesus Christ overflow for the many.

Gospel (Matthew 10: 26–33)
A reading from the holy Gospel according to Matthew.
Jesus said to the Twelve: “Fear no one. Nothing is concealed that will not be revealed, nor secret that will not be known. What I say to you in the darkness, speak in the light; what you hear whispered, proclaim on the housetops. And do not be afraid of those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul; rather, be afraid of the one who can destroy both soul and body in Gehenna. Are not two sparrows sold for a small coin? Yet not one of them falls to the ground without your Father’s knowledge. Even all the hairs of your head are counted. So do not be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows. Everyone who acknowledges me before others I will acknowledge before my heavenly Father. But whoever denies me before others, I will deny before my heavenly Father."

Catholic Pastoral Edition Bible readings
First reading (Jeremiah 20: 10–13)
A reading from the book of the prophet Jeremiah.
I hear many people whispering, "Terror is all around! Denounce him! Yes, denounce him!" All my friends watch me to see if I will slip: "Perhaps he can be deceived," they say; "then we can get the bettero f him and have our revenge." But Yahweh, a mighty warrior, is with me. My persecutors will stumble and not prevail; that failure will be their shame and their disgrace will never be forgotten. Yahweh, God of hosts, you test the just and probe the heart and mind. Let me see your revenge on them, for to you I have entrusted my cause. Sing to Yahweh! Praise Yahweh and say: he has rescued the poor from the clutches of the wicked!

Second reading (Romans 5: 12–15)

A reading from the letter of Saint Paul to the Romans.
Now, sin entered the world through one man and through sin, death, and later on death spread to all humankind, because all sinned. As long as there was no law, they could not speak of disobedience, but sin was already in the world. This is why from Adam to Moses death reigned among them, although their sin was not disobedience as in Adam's case—this was not the true Adam, but foretold the other who was to come. Such has been the fall, but God's gift goes far beyond. Multitudes die because of the fault of one man, but how much more does the grace of God spread when the gift he granted reaches the multitudes, from this unique man Jesus Christ.

Gospel (Matthew 10: 26–33)

A reading from the holy Gospel according to Matthew.
Jesus sends out the twelve by saying: "There is nothing covered that will not be uncovered, and nothing hidden that will not be made known What I am telling you in the dark, you must speak in the light. What you hear in private, proclaim from the housetops. Do not be afraid of those who kill the body, but have no power to kill the soul. Rather be afraid of him who can destroy both body and soul in hell. For only a few cents you can buy two sparrows, yet not one sparrow falls to the ground without your Father's consent. As for you, every hair of your head has been counted. So do not be afraid: you are worth much more than many sparrows. Whoever acknowledges me before others I will acknowledge before my Father in heaven. Whoever rejects me before others I will reject before my Father in heaven."

  1. Responsorial Psalm (Psalm 69) (Verses 8–10, 14, 17, and 33–35)
    The response is: Lord, in your great love, answer me.

    For your sake I bear insult, and shame covers my face. I have become an outcast to my brothers, a stranger to my mother's children, because zeal for your house consumes me, and the insults of those who blaspheme you fall upon me.

    I pray to you, O LORD, for the time of your favor, O God! In your great kindness answer me with your constant help. Answer me, O LORD, for bounteous is your kindness; in your great mercy turn toward me.

    “See, you lowly ones, and be glad; you who seek God, may your hearts revive! For the LORD hears the poor, and his own who are in bonds he spurns not. Let the heavens and the earth praise him, the seas and whatever moves in them!’‘

  2. Responsorial Psalm (Psalm 69) (Verses 8–10, 14, 17, and 33–35)
    The response is: Lord, in your great love, answer me.

    I am held in contempt for your sake, and shame has covered my face. I have become a stranger to my kindred, an alien to my mother’s sons. Zeal for your house consumes me as fire and those who insult you insult me as well.

    But I pray to you, O lord, at a time most favorable to you. In your great love, O God, answer me with your unfailing help. In your mercy, O Lord, give me a good answer; in your great compassion, turn to me.

    Let the lowly witness this and be glad. You who seek God, may your hearts be revived. For the Lord hears the needy and does not despise those in captivity. Let heaven and earth praise him, the seas and whatever moves in them.

  4. Primera lectura (Jeremías 20: 10–13)
    Una lectura del libro del profeta Jeremías.
    Yo oía a mis adversarios que decían contra mí: “¿Cuándo, por fin, lo denunciarán?” Ahora me observan los que antes me saludaban, esperando que yo tropiece para desquitarse de mí. Pero Yahvé está conmigo, él, mi poderoso defensor; los que me persiguen no me vencerán. Caerán ellos y tendrán la vergüenza de su fracaso, y su humillación no se olvidará jamás. Yahvé, Señor, tus ojos están pendientes del hombre justo. Tú conoces las conciencias y los corazones, haz que vea cuando te desquites de ellos, porque a ti he confiado mi defensa. ¡Canten y alaben a Yahvé, que salvó al desamparado de las manos de los malvados!

    Salmo responsorial (Salmo 69) (Versículos 8–10, 14, 17, and 33–35)
    La respuesta es: Señor, por tu gran amor, respóndeme.
    • Por ti he soportado afrentas y la vergüenza cubrió mi rostro; me convertí en un extraño para mis hermanos, fui un extranjero para los hijos de mi madre: porque el celo de tu Casa me devora, y caen sobre mí los ultrajes de los que te agravian.
    • Pero mi oración sube hasta ti, Señor, en el momento favorable: respóndeme, Dios mío, por tu gran amor, sálvame, por tu fidelidad. Respóndeme, Señor, por tu bondad y tu amor, por tu gran compasión vuélvete a mí.
    • Que lo vean los humildes y se alegren, que vivan los que buscan a Dios: porque el Señor escucha a los pobres y no desprecia a sus cautivos. Que lo alaben el cielo, la tierra y el mar, y todos los seres que se mueven en ellos.

    Segunda lectura (Romanos 5: 12–15)
    Una lectura de la carta de san Pablo a los romanos.
    Por lo tanto, por un solo hombre entró el pecado en el mundo, y por el pecado la muerte, y así la muerte pasó a todos los hombres, porque todos pecaron. En efecto, el pecado ya estaba en el mundo, antes de la Ley, pero cuando no hay Ley, el pecado no se tiene en cuenta. Sin embargo, la muerte reinó desde Adán hasta Moisés, incluso en aquellos que no habían pecado, cometiendo una transgresión semejante a la de Adán, que es figura del que debía venir. Pero no hay proporción entre el don y la falta. Porque si la falta de uno solo provocó la muerte de todos, la gracia de Dios y el don conferido pro la gracia de un solo hombre, Jesucristo, fueron derramados mucho más abundantemente sobre todos.

    Evangelio (Mateo 10: 26–33)
    Una lectura del Evangelio Santo según el san Mateo.
    Jesús les dijo a los Doce: “Pero no les tengan miedo. Nada hay oculto que no llegue a ser descubierto, ni nada secreto que no llegue a saberse. Lo que yo les digo en la oscuridad, repítanlo ustedes a la luz, y lo que les digo en privado, proclámenlo desde las azoteas. No teman a los que sólo pueden matar el cuerpo, pero no el alma; teman más bien al que puede destruir alma y cuerpo en el infierno. ¿Acaso un par de pajaritos no se venden por unos centavos? Pero ni uno de ellos cae en tierra sin que lo permita vuestro Padre. En cuanto a ustedes, hasta sus cabellos están todos contados. ¿No valen ustedes más que muchos pajaritos? Por lo tanto no tengan miedo. Al que se ponga de mi parte ante los hombres, yo me pondré de su parte ante mi Padre de los Cielos. Y al que me niegue ante los hombres, yo también lo negaré ante mi Padre que está en los Cielos.”

  5. Unang pagbabasa (Jeremias 20: 10–13)
    Ang pagbabasa sa aklat ni propeta Jeremias.
    Naririnig kong maraming nagbubulungan. Tinagurian nila akong “Takot sa Lahat ng Dako.” Sinasabi nila, “Isumbong natin! Isumbong natin sa may kapangyarihan!” Pati matatalik kong kaibiga'y naghahangad ng aking kapahamakan. Sabi pa nila, “Marahil ay malilinlang natin siya; pagkatapos, hulihin natin at paghigantihan.” Subalit ikaw, Yahweh, ay nasa panig ko, tulad sa malakas at makapangyarihang mandirigma; mabibigo ang lahat ng umuusig sa akin, mapapahiya sila at hindi magtatagumpay kailanman. Hindi na makakalimutan ang kanilang kahihiyan habang panahon. Makatarungan ka kung sumubok sa mga tao, Yahweh, na Makapangyarihan sa lahat, alam mo ang laman ng kanilang mga puso't isip. Kaya ikaw ang maghiganti sa mga kaaway ko, ipinagkakatiwala ko sa mga kamay mo ang aking kapakanan. Awitan ninyo si Yahweh, siya'y inyong papurihan, sapagkat inililigtas niya ang mga api mula sa kamay ng mga gumagawa ng kasamaan.

    Pangalawang pagbabasa (Roma 5: 12–15)
    Ang pagbabasa sa sulat ni San Pablo sa mga taga-Roma.
    Ang kasalanan ay pumasok sa sanlibutan sa pamamagitan ng isang tao, at ang kamatayan ay pumasok sa pamamagitan ng kasalanan. Dahil dito, lumaganap ang kamatayan sa lahat ng tao sapagkat ang lahat ay nagkasala. Nasa sanlibutan na ang kasalanan bago ibigay ang Kautusan, ngunit kung walang kautusan, ang kasalanan ay hindi itinuturing na kasalanan. Gayunman, naghari pa rin ang kamatayan mula kay Adan hanggang kay Moises, pati sa mga taong hindi nagkasala tulad ng pagsuway ni Adan sa utos ng Diyos. Si Adan ay anyo ng isang darating. Subalit magkaiba ang dalawang ito dahil ang walang bayad na kaloob ng Diyos ay hindi katulad ng kasalanan ni Adan. Totoong maraming tao ang namatay dahil sa kasalanan ng isang tao. Ngunit ang kagandahang-loob ng Diyos ay mas dakila, gayundin ang kanyang walang bayad na kaloob sa maraming tao sa pamamagitan ng kagandahang-loob ng isang tao, si Jesu-Cristo.

    Ebanghelyo (Mateo 10: 26–33)
    Ang magandang balita ayon kay San Mateo.
    “Kaya huwag kayong matakot sa kanila. Walang natatago na di malalantad at walang nalilihim na di mabubunyag. Ang sinasabi ko sa inyo sa dilim ay ulitin ninyo sa liwanag; at ang ibinubulong sa inyo ay inyong ipagsigawan sa lansangan. Huwag ninyong katakutan ang pumapatay ng katawan ngunit hindi naman nakakapatay ng kaluluwa. Sa halip, ang katakutan ninyo ay ang Diyos na may kakayahang pumuksa ng katawan at kaluluwa sa impiyerno. Hindi ba't ipinagbibili sa halaga ng isang salaping tanso ang dalawang maya? Gayunman, kahit isa sa kanila'y hindi nahuhulog sa lupa kung hindi kalooban ng inyong Ama. At kayo, maging ang buhok ninyo'y bilang niyang lahat. Kaya, huwag kayong matakot; higit kayong mahalaga kaysa maraming maya.” “Ang sinumang kumilala sa akin sa harapan ng mga tao ay kikilalanin ko rin naman sa harapan ng aking Amang nasa langit. Ngunit ang sinumang ikaila ako sa harap ng mga tao ay ikakaila ko rin sa harap ng aking Amang nasa langit.”

  9. Bacaan pertama (Yeremia 20: 10–13)
    Pembacaan dari kitab nabi Yeremia.
    Aku telah mendengar bisikan banyak orang: "Kegentaran datang dari segala jurusan! Adukanlah dia! Kita mau mengadukan dia!" Semua orang sahabat karibku mengintai apakah aku tersandung jatuh: "Barangkali ia membiarkan dirinya dibujuk, sehingga kita dapat mengalahkan dia dan dapat melakukan pembalasan kita terhadap dia!" Tetapi TUHAN menyertai aku seperti pahlawan yang gagah, sebab itu orang-orang yang mengejar aku akan tersandung jatuh dan mereka tidak dapat berbuat apa-apa. Mereka akan menjadi malu sekali, sebab mereka tidak berhasil, suatu noda yang selama-lamanya tidak terlupakan! Ya TUHAN semesta alam, yang menguji orang benar, yang melihat batin dan hati, biarlah aku melihat pembalasan-Mu terhadap mereka, sebab kepada-Mulah kuserahkan perkaraku. Menyanyilah untuk TUHAN, pujilah TUHAN! Sebab ia telah melepaskan nyawa orang miskin dari tangan orang-orang yang berbuat jahat.

    Bacaan kedua (Roma 5: 12–15)
    Pembacaan dari surat Paulus kepada jemaat di Roma.
    Sebab itu, sama seperti dosa telah masuk ke dalam dunia oleh satu orang, dan oleh dosa itu juga maut, demikianlah maut itu telah menjalar kepada semua orang, karena semua orang telah berbuat dosa. Sebab sebelum hukum Taurat ada, telah ada dosa di dunia. Tetapi dosa itu tidak diperhitungkan kalau tidak ada hukum Taurat. Sungguhpun demikian maut telah berkuasa dari zaman Adam sampai kepada zaman Musa juga atas mereka, yang tidak berbuat dosa dengan cara yang sama seperti yang telah dibuat oleh Adam, yang adalah gambaran Dia yang akan datang. Tetapi karunia Allah tidaklah sama dengan pelanggaran Adam. Sebab, jika karena pelanggaran satu orang semua orang telah jatuh di dalam kuasa maut, jauh lebih besar lagi kasih karunia Allah dan karunia-Nya, yang dilimpahkan-Nya atas semua orang karena satu orang, yaitu Yesus Kristus.

    Bacaan Injil (Matius 10: 26–33)
    Pembacaan dari Injil suci menurut Santo Matius.
    Jadi janganlah kamu takut terhadap mereka, karena tidak ada sesuatu pun yang tertutup yang tidak akan dibuka dan tidak ada sesuatu pun yang tersembunyi yang tidak akan diketahui. Apa yang Kukatakan kepadamu dalam gelap, katakanlah itu dalam terang; dan apa yang dibisikkan ke telingamu, beritakanlah itu dari atas atap rumah. Dan janganlah kamu takut kepada mereka yang dapat membunuh tubuh, tetapi yang tidak berkuasa membunuh jiwa; takutlah terutama kepada Dia yang berkuasa membinasakan baik jiwa maupun tubuh di dalam neraka. Bukankah burung pipit dijual dua ekor seduit? Namun seekor pun dari padanya tidak akan jatuh ke bumi di luar kehendak Bapamu. Dan kamu, rambut kepalamu pun terhitung semuanya. Sebab itu janganlah kamu takut, karena kamu lebih berharga dari pada banyak burung pipit. Setiap orang yang mengakui Aku di depan manusia, Aku juga akan mengakuinya di depan Bapa-Ku yang di surga. Tetapi barangsiapa menyangkal Aku di depan manusia, Aku juga akan menyangkalnya di depan Bapa-Ku yang di surga."
