SOLEMNITY OF ALL SAINTS

First Reading - Revelation 7:2-4, 9-14 I saw a great multitude, which no one could count, from every nation and tribe, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, wearing white robes. These are the ones who have survived the time of great distress; they have washed their robes white in the Blood of the Lamb.

-Responsorial psalm: Psalm 24:1-6; R. Lord, this is the people that longs to see your face.
-Second reading: 1 John 3:1-3; Beloved: We are God's children now; what we shall be has not yet been revealed. We do know that when it is revealed we shall be like him, for we shall see him as he is.
-Gospel acclamation: Alleluia. Come to me, all you who labor and are burdened, and I will give you rest, says the Lord. Alleluia.

-Gospel: Matthew 5:1-12a; Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the Kingdom of heaven. Blessed are they who mourn, who hunger for righteousness, the merciful, the clean of heart, the peacemakers, and the persecuted. Rejoice and be glad, for your reward will be great in heaven.
