First Reading

Galatians 1:6-12

How to approach it

Read this as the first big movement of the day. Notice what God is doing, who is speaking, and what part of the story or teaching should stay with you.

6I wonder that you are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ, to another gospel.

7Which is not another, only there are some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ.

8But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach a gospel to you besides that which we have preached to you, let him be anathema.

9As we said before, so now I say again: If any one preach to you a gospel, besides that which you have received, let him be anathema.

10For do I now persuade men, or God? Or do I seek to please men? If I yet pleased men, I should not be the servant of Christ.

11For I give you to understand, brothers and sisters, that the gospel which was preached by me is not according to man.

12For neither did I receive it of man, nor did I learn it; but by the revelation of Jesus Christ.

Psalm

Psalm 111:1b-2, 7-8, 9, 10c

How to pray it

The psalm is meant to be prayed, not rushed. If the wording feels older, focus on the main movement of the prayer: trust, praise, sorrow, gratitude, or hope.

7That he may give them the gift of the Gentiles: the works of his hands are truth and judgment.

8All his commands are faithful: confirmed forever and ever, made in truth and equity.

9He has sent rescue to his people: he has commanded his covenant forever. Holy and terrible is his name:

Gospel

Luke 10:25-37

What to watch for

The Gospel is the center of the reading set. Pay close attention to what Jesus says, what Jesus does, and what response he is asking for.

25And look a certain lawyer stood up, tempting him, and saying, Master, what must I do to have eternal life?

26But he said to him: What is written in the law? how readest you?

27He answering, said: You shall love the Lord your God with your whole heart, and with your whole soul, and with all your strength, and with all your mind: and your neighbour as yourself.

28And he said to him: You have answered right: this do, and you shall live.

29But he willing to justify himself, said to Jesus: And who is my neighbour?

30And Jesus answering, said: A certain man went down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and fell among robbers, who also stripped him, and having wounded him went away, leaving him half dead.

31And it chanced, that a certain priest went down the same way: and seeing him, passed by.

32In like manner also a Levite, when he was near the place and saw him, passed by.

33But a certain Samaritan being on his journey, came near him; and seeing him, was moved with compassion.

34And going up to him, bound up his wounds, pouring in oil and wine: and setting him upon his own beast, brought him to an inn, and took care of him.

35And the next day he took out two pence, and gave to the host, and said: Take care of him; and whatever you shall spend over and above, I, at my return, will repay you.

36Which of these three, in your opinion, was neighbour to him that fell among the robbers?

37But he said: He that showed mercy to him. And Jesus said to him: Go, and do you in like manner.
