Joshua 24:1-13; Psalm 135; Matthew 19:3-12 The Gospel presents us with the theme of marriage. Marriage is a covenant of love that demands us to return love for love.

JOSHUA 3:7-11, 13-17; PSALM 114; MATTHEW 18:21-19:1 The Gospel reading presents us with the theme of forgiveness. Christ wants us to forgive not once but indefinitely.

DEUTERONOMY 10:12-22/ PSALM 147:12-15,19-20/ MATTHEW 17:22-27 Today’s gospel relates the event of Christ’s death to the payment of taxes.
