FIRST READING
"You will keep my decrees, you will put them into practice"
Reading from the book of Deuteronomy (4, 1.5-9)
Moses was saying to the people, “Now, Israel, listen to the decrees and ordinances that I am teaching you so that you may put them into practice. So you will live, you will enter to take possession of it in the land which the Lord, the God of your fathers, has given you. See, I am teaching you the decrees and ordinances that the Lord my God has given me for you, so that you may put them into practice in the land where you are going to enter to take possession of them. You will keep them, you will put them into practice; they will be your wisdom and intelligence in the eyes of all peoples. When they hear about all these decrees, they will cry out: “There is not a wise and intelligent people like this great nation! What is indeed the great nation whose gods are as near as the Lord our God is near to us every time we call upon him? And what great nation is there whose decrees and ordinances are as righteous as all this Law that I am giving you today? But take care: take care never to forget what your eyes have seen; don't let it go out of your heart for a single day. Teach it to your sons, and to your sons' sons. "
The Word of the Lord.
