June 12, 2025, Thursday of the 10th week in ordinary time.

A reading from the second letter of St. Paul to the Corinthians.

Brothers and sisters, to this day, whenever Moses is read, a veil lies over the hearts of the children of Israel.

But whenever a person turns to the Lord, the veil is removed.

Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom.

All of us, gazing with unveiled face on the glory of the Lord,

are being transformed into the same

image from glory to glory as from the Lord who is the Spirit. Therefore, since we have this

ministry through the mercy shown us, we are not discouraged. And even though our gospel is veiled,

it is veiled for those who are perishing,

in whose case the God of this age has blinded the minds of the unbelievers

so that they may not see the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ,

who is the image of God.

For we do not preach ourselves, but Jesus Christ as Lord,

and ourselves as your slaves for the sake of Jesus.

For God who said, let light shine out of darkness,

has shown in our hearts to bring to light the knowledge of the glory of God on the face of

Jesus Christ. The Word of the Lord. The responsorial Psalm. The response is, the glory of the Lord will

dwell in our land. I will hear what God proclaims, the Lord, for he proclaims peace to his people.

Near indeed is his salvation to those who fear him, glory dwelling in our land.

The glory of the Lord will dwell in our land. Kindness and truth shall meet. Justice and peace

shall kiss. Truth shall spring out of the earth and justice shall look down from heaven.
