恭讀聖瑪竇福音 7: 21, 24-27

「不是向我說『主啊!主啊!』的人,就能進天國,而是承行我在天之父的旨意的人。所以凡聽了我這些話,而實行的,好比一個聰明人,把自己的房屋蓋在岩石上。哪怕雨淋、水沖、風吹襲擊那所房屋,它卻不倒,因爲房基築在岩石上。凡聽了我這些話,而不去實行的,好比一個糊塗人,把房屋蓋在沙土上,雨淋、水沖、風吹襲擊那所房屋,它就倒塌了,而且倒塌的很慘!」

—上主的話。

A Reading from the Holy Gospel according to Matthew 7:21,24-27

21 “Not every one who says to me, `Lord, Lord,’ shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. 24 “Every one then who hears these words of mine and does them will be like a wise man who built his house upon the rock; 25 and the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and beat upon that house, but it did not fall, because it had been founded on the rock. 26 And every one who hears these words of mine and does not do them will be like a foolish man who built his house upon the sand; 27 and the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and beat against that house, and it fell; and great was the fall of it.”

—The Gospel of the Lord.
