A Reading

Jesus taught us, saying: The kingdom of heaven is like treasure hidden in a field
which someone has found; he hides it again, goes off in his joy, sells everything
he owns and buys the field. Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant
looking for fine pearls; when he finds one of great value he goes and sells
everything he owns and buys it. |

My Lips Will Sing with Joy

Therefore I will praise you upon the lyre for your faithfulness, O my God;* I will
sing to you with the harp, O Holy One of Israel.
My lips will sing with joy when I play to you,* and so will my soul, which you
have redeemed.
My tongue will proclaim your righteousness all day long,* for they are ashamed
and disgraced who sought to do me harm. |
