Fifteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time 2022 Yr C
Our texts show us that we avoid hypocrisy by letting God's command go from our mouths to our hearts, by embracing Jesus our reconciler, the command in person, and the preeminent presence of God, and by putting the command into practice at whatever cost without trying to weasel around it

Readings
FIRST READING
Deuteronomy 30:10–14
10 because you will obey the voice of the LORD, your God, keeping the commandments and statutes that are written in this book of the law, when you return to the LORD, your God, with your whole heart and your whole being.
11 For this command which I am giving you today is not too wondrous or remote for you. 12 It is not in the heavens, that you should say, “Who will go up to the heavens to get it for us and tell us of it, that we may do it?” 13 Nor is it across the sea, that you should say, “Who will cross the sea to get it for us and tell us of it, that we may do it?” 14 No, it is something very near to you, in your mouth and in your heart, to do it.
Response & Psalm, Option I
RESPONSE
Psalm 69:33
33 “See, you lowly ones, and be glad;
you who seek God, take heart!
PSALM
Psalm 69:14, 17, 30–31, 33–34, 36, 37
14 But I will pray to you, LORD,
at a favorable time.
God, in your abundant kindness, answer me
with your sure deliverance.
17 Answer me, LORD, in your generous love;
in your great mercy turn to me.
30 But here I am miserable and in pain;
let your saving help protect me, God,
31 That I may praise God’s name in song
and glorify it with thanksgiving.
33 “See, you lowly ones, and be glad;
you who seek God, take heart!
34 For the LORD hears the poor,
and does not spurn those in bondage.
36 For God will rescue Zion,
and rebuild the cities of Judah.
They will dwell there and possess it;
37 the descendants of God’s servants will inherit it;
those who love God’s name will dwell in it.
SECOND READING
Colossians 1:15–20
15 He is the image of the invisible God,
the firstborn of all creation.
16 For in him were created all things in heaven and on earth,
the visible and the invisible,
whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers;
all things were created through him and for him.
17 He is before all things,
and in him all things hold together.
18 He is the head of the body, the church.
He is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead,
that in all things he himself might be preeminent.
19 For in him all the fullness was pleased to dwell,
20 and through him to reconcile all things for him,
making peace by the blood of his cross
[through him], whether those on earth or those in heaven.
GOSPEL ACCLAMATION
John 6:63c, 68c
63 It is the spirit that gives life, while the flesh is of no avail. The words I have spoken to you are spirit and life.
68 Simon Peter answered him, “Master, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life.
GOSPEL
Luke 10:25–37
25 There was a scholar of the law who stood up to test him and said, “Teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal life?” 26 Jesus said to him, “What is written in the law? How do you read it?” 27 He said in reply, “You shall love the Lord, your God, with all your heart, with all your being, with all your strength, and with all your mind, and your neighbor as yourself.” 28 He replied to him, “You have answered correctly; do this and you will live.”
29 But because he wished to justify himself, he said to Jesus, “And who is my neighbor?” 30 Jesus replied, “A man fell victim to robbers as he went down from Jerusalem to Jericho. They stripped and beat him and went off leaving him half-dead. 31 A priest happened to be going down that road, but when he saw him, he passed by on the opposite side. 32 Likewise a Levite came to the place, and when he saw him, he passed by on the opposite side. 33 But a Samaritan traveler who came upon him was moved with compassion at the sight. 34 He approached the victim, poured oil and wine over his wounds and bandaged them. Then he lifted him up on his own animal, took him to an inn and cared for him. 35 The next day he took out two silver coins and gave them to the innkeeper with the instruction, ‘Take care of him. If you spend more than what I have given you, I shall repay you on my way back.’ 36 Which of these three, in your opinion, was neighbor to the robbers’ victim?” 37 He answered, “The one who treated him with mercy.” Jesus said to him, “Go and do likewise.”
