| "A Woman Cries Out in a Crowd" -- by James Tissot |
FIRST
READING: Galatians
3: 22 - 29
22
But the scripture consigned all things to sin, that what was promised
to faith in Jesus Christ might be given to those who believe.
23
Now before faith came, we were confined under the law, kept under
restraint until faith should be revealed.
24
So that the law was our custodian until Christ came, that we might be
justified by faith.
25
But now that faith has come, we are no longer under a custodian;
26
for in Christ Jesus you are all sons of God, through faith.
27
For as many of you as were baptized into Christ have put on Christ.
28
There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free,
there is neither male nor female; for you are all one in Christ
Jesus.
29
And if you are Christ's, then you are Abraham's offspring, heirs
according to promise.
PSALM:
Psalms 105:
2 - 7
2
Sing to him, sing praises to him, tell of all his wonderful works!
3
Glory in his holy name; let the hearts of those who seek the LORD
rejoice!
4
Seek the LORD and his strength, seek his presence continually!
5
Remember the wonderful works that he has done, his miracles, and the
judgments he uttered,
6
O offspring of Abraham his servant, sons of Jacob, his chosen ones!
7
He is the LORD our God; his judgments are in all the earth.
GOSPEL:
Luke 11:
27 - 28
27
As he said this, a woman in the crowd raised her voice and said to
him, "Blessed is the womb that bore you, and the breasts that
you sucked!"
28
But he said, "Blessed rather are those who hear the word of God
and keep it!"
