First Reading for 9th Sunday in Ordinary Time Year A

Deuteronomy 11:18, 26-28, 32

Summary: Moses tells the people to keep God's commandments close to them. Obeying the commandments will bring blessings, while disobedience will bring curses and lead them astray.

The Choice Between Blessing and Curse

Moses told the people, “Take these words of mine into your heart and soul. Bind them at your wrist as a sign, and let them be a pendant on your forehead.

“I set before you here, this day, a blessing and a curse: a blessing for obeying the commandments of the Lord, your God, which I enjoin on you today; a curse if you do not obey the commandments of the Lord, your God, but turn aside from the way I ordain for you today.”
