DESCRIPTION:Hymns\nAll people that on earth do dwell\nCity of God\nSeek ye
  first\nHark\, Hark my soul\n\nFirst reading  1 Kings 3:5-6a\, 7-12\n\nIn 
 those days: The LORD appeared to Solomon in a dream by night\, and God sai
 d\, ‘Ask what I shall give you.’ And Solomon said\, ‘O LORD my God\,
  you have made your servant king in place of David my father\, although I 
 am but a little child. I do not know how to go out or come in. And your se
 rvant is in the midst of your people whom you have chosen\, a great people
 \, too many to be numbered or counted for multitude. Give your servant\, t
 herefore\, an understanding mind to govern your people\, that I may discer
 n between good and evil\, for who is able to govern this your great people
 ?’\n    It pleased the Lord that Solomon had asked this. And God said to
  him\, ‘Because you have asked this\, and have not asked for yourself lo
 ng life\, or riches\, or the life of your enemies\, but have asked for you
 rself understanding to discern what is right\, behold\, I now do according
  to your word. Behold\, I give you a wise and discerning mind\, so that no
 ne like you has been before you and none like you shall arise after you.
 ’\n________\n\nResponsorial Psalm  Psalm 119(118):57\, 72. 76-77. 127-12
 8. 129-130. ℟97a\n\nO LORD\, how I love your law!\n\nYou\, O LORD\, are 
 my portion\;\nI have promised to obey your words.\nThe law from your mouth
  means more to me\nthan large quantities of silver and gold. \n\nO LORD\, 
 how I love your law!\n\nLet your merciful love console me\nby your promise
  to your servant.\nShow me compassion\, that I may live\,\nfor your law is
  my delight. \n\nO LORD\, how I love your law!\n\nThat is why I love your 
 commands\nmore than finest gold\,\nwhy I rule my life by your precepts\,\n
 and hate false ways. \n\nO LORD\, how I love your law!\n\nYour decrees are
  wonderful indeed\;\ntherefore my soul obeys them.\nThe unfolding of your 
 word gives light\,\nand understanding to the simple. \n\nO LORD\, how I lo
 ve your law!\n________\n\nSecond reading  Romans 8:28-30\n\nBrothers and S
 isters: We know that for those who love God all things work together for g
 ood\, for those who are called according to his purpose. For those whom he
  foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son\, in
  order that he might be the firstborn among many brothers and sisters. And
  those whom he predestined he also called\, and those whom he called he al
 so justified\, and those whom he justified he also glorified.\n________\n\
 nGospel Acclamation\n\nAlleluia\, alleluia.\nI thank you\, Father\, Lord o
 f heaven and earth\,\nyou have revealed the secrets of the kingdom to litt
 le children.\nAlleluia.\n________\n\nGospel  Matthew 13:44-52\n\nAt that t
 ime: Jesus said to the crowd: ‘The kingdom of heaven is like treasure hi
 dden in a field\, which a man found and covered up. Then in his joy he goe
 s and sells all that he has and buys that field.\n    ‘Again\, the kingd
 om of heaven is like a merchant in search of fine pearls\, who\, on findin
 g one pearl of great value\, went and sold all that he had and bought it.\
 n    ‘Again\, the kingdom of heaven is like a net that was thrown into t
 he sea and gathered fish of every kind. When it was full\, men drew it ash
 ore and sat down and sorted the good into vessels but threw away the bad. 
 So it will be at the end of the age. The angels will come out and separate
  the evil from the righteous and throw them into the fiery furnace. In tha
 t place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.\n    ‘Have you unde
 rstood all these things?’ They said to him\, ‘Yes.’ And he said to t
 hem\, ‘Therefore every scribe who has been trained for the kingdom of he
 aven is like a master of a house\, who brings out of his treasure what is 
 new and what is old.’
