First Reading

Sirach 35:1-12

¹He that keepeth the law, multiplieth offerings.

²It is a wholesome sacrifice to take heed to the commandments, and to depart from all iniquity.

³And to depart from injustice, is to offer a propitiatory sacrifice for injustices, and a begging of pardon for sins.

⁴He shall return thanks, that offereth fine flour: and he that doth mercy, offereth sacrifice.

⁵To depart from iniquity is that which pleaseth the Lord, and to depart from injustice, is an entreaty for sins.

⁶Thou shalt not appear empty in the sight of the Lord.

⁷For all these things are to be done because of the commandment of God.

⁸The oblation of the just maketh the altar fat, and is an odour of sweetness in the sight of the most High.

⁹The sacrifice of the just is acceptable, and the Lord will not forget the memorial thereof.

¹⁰Give glory to God with a good heart: and diminish not the firstfruits of thy hands.

¹¹In every gift shew a cheerful countenance, and sanctify thy tithes with joy.

¹²Give to the most High according to what he hath given to thee, and with a good eye do according to the ability of thy hands:
