Mass Readings for the 8th Sunday in Ordinary Time

• First Reading – Sirach 27:4-7: Speech reveals faults and true character. Just as a tree’s fruit shows its care, words show thoughts. Do not praise someone before hearing them speak.
• Responsorial Psalm – Psalm 92: It is good to thank and praise the Lord, whose kindness and faithfulness are constant. The righteous flourish and bear fruit, proclaiming God’s justice and reliability.
• Second Reading – 1 Corinthians 15:54-58: Through Jesus, we have victory over death. Be steadfast and devoted to the Lord’s work, knowing it is not in vain.
