Gospel: Tuesday in Holy Week
Revised Common Lectionary - Year C
6 When you do good deeds, don't try to show off. If you do, you won't get a reward from your Father in heaven.
2When you give to the
poor, don't blow a loud horn. That's what show-offs do in the meeting places
and on the street corners, because they are always looking for praise. I can
assure you that they already have their reward.3When you give to the poor, don't let
anyone know about it. 4Then your gift will be given in secret.
Your Father knows what is done in secret, and he will reward you.5When you pray, don't be like those
show-offs who love to stand up and pray in the meeting places and on the street
corners. They do this just to look good. I can assure you that they already
have their reward.6When you pray, go into a room alone
and close the door. Pray to your Father in private. He knows what is done in
private, and he will reward you.7When you pray, don't talk on and on
as people do who don't know God. They think God likes to hear long prayers.
8Don't be like them. Your Father knows what you need before
you ask.9You should pray like this:
Our Father in heaven,
help us to honor your name.
10Come and set up your kingdom,
so that everyone on earth will obey you,
as you are obeyed in heaven.
11Give us our food for today.
12Forgive us for doing wrong,
as we forgive others.
13Keep us from being tempted
and protect us from evil.
14If you
forgive others for the wrongs they do to you, your Father in heaven will
forgive you. 15But if you don't forgive others, your Father
will not forgive your sins.
16When you go without eating, don't
try to look gloomy as those show-offs do when they go without eating. I can
assure you that they already have their reward. 17Instead, comb
your hair and wash your face. 18Then others won't know
that you are going without eating. But your Father sees what is done in
private, and he will reward you.
19Don't store up treasures on earth!
Moths and rust can destroy them, and thieves can break in and steal them. 20Instead,
store up your treasures in heaven, where moths and rust cannot destroy them,
and thieves cannot break in and steal them. 21Your heart
will always be where your treasure is.
