Hear the Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ according to Matthew 10.40-42
GLORY TO YOU, O LORD!
Jesus said to the twelve: ‘Whoever welcomes you welcomes me, and whoever welcomes me welcomes the one who sent me. Whoever welcomes a prophet in the name of a prophet will receive a prophet’s reward; and whoever welcomes a righteous person in the name of a righteous person will receive the reward of the righteous; and whoever gives even a cup of cold water to one of these little ones in the name of a disciple – truly I tell you, none of these will lose their reward.’
This is the Gospel of the Lord. PRAISE TO YOU, O CHRIST!
