Tuesday of the Twenty-eighth Week in Ordinary Time (II)

Official Translation

Reading 1 – Galatians 5.1-6

Brothers and sisters:
For freedom Christ has made us free.
Stand firm therefore, and do not submit again to a yoke of bondage.

Behold, I, Paul, tell you that if you receive circumcision, Christ will profit you nothing.
Yes, I testify again that every man who receives circumcision is bound to do the whole law.
You are alienated from Christ, you who desire to be justified by the law.
You have fallen away from grace.
For we, through the Spirit, by faith wait for the hope of righteousness.
For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision amounts to anything,
nor uncircumcision, but faith working through love.

Responsorial – Psalm 119.41, 43, 44, 45, 47, 48 Resp. 41a

R. Let your loving kindness also come on me, O Lord.

Let your loving kindness also come on me, O Lord,
your salvation, according to your word.

R. Let your loving kindness also come on me, O Lord.

Do not snatch the word of truth out of my mouth,
for I put my hope in your ordinances.

R. Let your loving kindness also come on me, O Lord.

I will walk in liberty,
for I have sought your precepts.

R. Let your loving kindness also come on me, O Lord.

I will delight myself in your commandments,
because I love them.

R. Let your loving kindness also come on me, O Lord.

I reach out my hands for your commandments, which I love.
I will meditate on your statutes.

R. Let your loving kindness also come on me, O Lord.

Gospel – Luke 11.37-41

After Jesus had spoken,
there was a Pharisee who asked him to dine with him.
He went in, and sat at the table.
When the Pharisee saw it, he marveled that he had not first washed himself before dinner.
The Lord said to him, “O you Pharisees
cleanse the outside of the cup and of the platter,
but your inward part is full of extortion and wickedness.
You foolish ones, did note the one what made outside make the inside also?
But give for gifts to the needy those things which are within,
and behold, all things will be clean to you.”
