July 1st  :  Responsorial Psalm

Psalm 49(50):16-23 

Mark this, you who never think of God.

‘How can you recite my commandments

  and take my covenant on your lips,

you who despise my law

  and throw my words to the winds?

Mark this, you who never think of God.

‘You who see a thief and go with him;

  who throw in your lot with adulterers,

who unbridle your mouth for evil

  and whose tongue is plotting crime.

Mark this, you who never think of God.

‘You who sit and malign your brother

  and slander your own mother’s son.

You do this, and should I keep silence?

  Do you think that I am like you?

Mark this, you who never think of God.

‘Mark this, you who never think of God,

  lest I seize you and you cannot escape;

a sacrifice of thanksgiving honours me

  and I will show God’s salvation to the upright.’

Mark this, you who never think of God.

Gospel Acclamation Jn8:12

I am the light of the world, says the Lord;

anyone who follows me will have the light of life.

Alleluia!
