But with you is found forgiveness, O God of Israel. First Reading: Galatians 5:18-25A reading from the Letter of Saint Paul to the Galatians.Brothers and sisters: If you are led by the Spirit you are not under the law. Now the works of the flesh are plain: immorality, impurity, licentiousness, idolatry, sorcery, enmity, strife, jealousy, anger, selfishness, dissension, party spirit, envy, drunkenness, carousing, and the like. I warn you, as I warned you before, that those who do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God. But the fruit of the Spirit is love,joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control; against such, there is no law. And those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. If we live by the Spirit, let us also walk by the Spirit.The Word of the Lord. Responsorial Psalm: Psalm 1:1-2, 3, 4 & 6 (R. see John8:12)Let us now pray the Responsorial PsalmR/. He who follows you, Lord, will have the light of life.Blessed indeed is the manwho follows not the counsel of the wicked,nor stands in the path with sinners,nor abides in the company of scorners,but whose delight is the law of the Lord,and who ponders his law day and night.He is like a tree that is plantedbeside the flowing waters,that yields its fruit in due season,and whose leaves shall never fade;and all that he does shall prosper.Not so are the wicked, not so!For they, like winnowed chaff,shall be driven away by the wind,for the Lord knows the way of the just,but the way of the wicked will perish.R/. He who follows you, Lord, will have the light of life. Please stand for the Gospel.Alleluia, Alleluia.My sheep hear my voice, says the Lord; and I know them, and they follow me.Alleluia.Gospel: Luke 11:42-46A reading from the Holy Gospel according to Luke.At that time Jesus said: “But woe to you Pharisees! for you tithe mint and rue and every herb, and neglect justice and the love of God; these you ought to have done, without neglecting the others. Woe to you Pharisees! for you love the best seat in the synagogues and salutations in the marketplaces. Woe to you! for you are like graves which are not seen, and men walk over them without knowing it.” One of the lawyers answered him, “Teacher, in saying this you reproach us also.” And he said, “Woe to you lawyers also! for you load men with burdens hard to bear, and you yourselves do not touch the burdens with one of your fingers.”The Gospel of the Lord. Communion Antiphon.The rich suffer want and go hungry, but those who seek the Lord lack no blessing.2
