Tuesday, Twenty-eighth week in Ordinary Time – Year II
St Teresa of Jesus, (St Teresa of Avila) Virgin & Doctor, Memorial
Antiphons on page 1783 and Readings on page 1360 of the Daily Missal.
Entrance Antiphon.
Like the deer that yearns for running streams, so my soul is yearning for you, my God. My soul is thirsting for God, the living God.
First Reading: Galatians 5:1-6
A reading from the Letter of Saint Paul to the Galatians.
Brothers and sisters:
For freedom, Christ has set us free;
stand fast, therefore,
and do not submit again to a yoke of slavery.
Now I, Paul, say to you
that if you receive circumcision,
Christ will be of no advantage to you.
I testify again to every man who receives circumcision
that he is bound to keep the whole law.
You are severed from Christ,
you who would be justified by the law;
you have fallen away from grace.
For through the Spirit, by faith,
we wait for the hope of righteousness.
For in Christ Jesus
neither circumcision nor uncircumcision is of any avail,
but faith working through love.
The Word of the Lord.
Responsorial Psalm: Psalm 119:41, 43, 44, 45, 47, 48 (R. 41a)
Let us now pray the Responsorial Psalm
R/. Lord, let your mercy come upon me.
Lord, let your mercy come upon me,
the salvation you have promised.
Never take the word of truth from my mouth,
for I hope in your decrees.
I shall always keep your law,
forever and ever.
I shall walk on a spacious plain,
for I seek your precepts.
In your commands I have found my delight;
these I have loved.
I reach out to your commands, which I love,
and ponder your statutes.
R/. Lord, let your mercy come upon me.
Please stand for the Gospel.
Alleluia, Alleluia.
The word of the Lord is living and active, discerning the thoughts and intentions of the heart.
Alleluia.
Gospel: Luke 11:37-41
A reading from the Holy Gospel according to Luke.
At that time:
While Jesus was speaking,
a Pharisee asked him to dine with him;
so he went in and sat at table.
The Pharisee was astonished to see
that he did not first wash before dinner.
And the Lord said to him,
“Now you Pharisees cleanse the outside of the cup
and of the dish,
but inside you are full of extortion and wickedness.
You fools!
Did not he who made the outside make the inside also?
But give for alms those things which are within;
and behold, everything is clean for you.
The Gospel of the Lord.
Communion Antiphon.
I will sing forever of your mercies, O Lord through all ages my mouth will proclaim your truth.
