First Reading
Exodus 19:1-2, 9-11, 16-20
1On the third new moon after the people of Israel had gone forth out of the land of Egypt, on that day they came into the wilderness of Sinai.
2And when they set out from Rephʹidim and came into the wilderness of Sinai, they encamped in the wilderness; and there Israel encamped before the mountain.
9And the LORD said to Moses, “Lo, I am coming to you in a thick cloud, that the people may hear when I speak with you, and may also believe you for ever.” Then Moses told the words of the people to the LORD.
10And the LORD said to Moses, “Go to the people and consecrate them today and tomorrow, and let them wash their garments,
11and be ready by the third day; for on the third day the LORD will come down upon Mount Sinai in the sight of all the people.
16On the morning of the third day there were thunders and lightnings, and a thick cloud upon the mountain, and a very loud trumpet blast, so that all the people who were in the camp trembled.
17Then Moses brought the people out of the camp to meet God; and they took their stand at the foot of the mountain.
18And Mount Sinai was wrapped in smoke, because the LORD descended upon it in fire; and the smoke of it went up like the smoke of a kiln, and the whole mountain quaked greatly.
19And as the sound of the trumpet grew louder and louder, Moses spoke, and God answered him in thunder.
20And the LORD came down upon Mount Sinai, to the top of the mountain; and the LORD called Moses to the top of the mountain, and Moses went up.
Responsorial Psalm
Daniel 3:52-56
52“Blessed art thou, O Lord, God of our fathers, and to be praised and highly exalted for ever;
53And blessed is thy glorious, holy name and to be highly praised and highly exalted for ever;
54Blessed art thou in the temple of thy holy glory and to be extolled and highly glorified for ever.
55Blessed art thou, who sittest upon cherubim and lookest upon the deeps, and to be praised and highly exalted for ever.
56Blessed art thou upon the throne of thy kingdom and to be extolled and highly exalted for ever.
Gospel
Matthew 13:10-17
10Then the disciples came and said to him, “Why do you speak to them in parables?”
11And he answered them, “To you it has been given to know the secrets of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it has not been given.
12For to him who has will more be given, and he will have abundance; but from him who has not, even what he has will be taken away.
13This is why I speak to them in parables, because seeing they do not see, and hearing they do not hear, nor do they understand.
14With them indeed is fulfilled the prophecy of Isaiah which says: ‘You shall indeed hear but never understand, and you shall indeed see but never perceive.
15For this people’s heart has grown dull, and their ears are heavy of hearing, and their eyes they have closed, lest they should perceive with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their heart, and turn for me to heal them.’
16But blessed are your eyes, for they see, and your ears, for they hear.
17Truly, I say to you, many prophets and righteous men longed to see what you see, and did not see it, and to hear what you hear, and did not hear it.
