Reading 1, Galatians 5:1-6

¹ Christ set us free, so that we should remain free. Stand firm, then, and do not let yourselves be fastened again to the yoke of slavery.

² I, Paul, give you my word that if you accept circumcision, Christ will be of no benefit to you at all.

³ I give my assurance once again to every man who accepts circumcision that he is under obligation to keep the whole Law;

⁴ once you seek to be reckoned as upright through the Law, then you have separated yourself from Christ, you have fallen away from grace.

⁵ We are led by the Spirit to wait in the confident hope of saving justice through faith,

⁶ since in Christ Jesus it is not being circumcised or being uncircumcised that can effect anything -- only faith working through love.

Responsorial Psalm, Psalms 119:41, 43, 44, 45, 47, 48

⁴¹ Let your faithful love come to me, Yahweh, true to your promise, save me!

⁴³ Do not deprive me of that faithful word, since my hope lies in your judgements.

⁴⁴ I shall keep your Law without fail for ever and ever.

⁴⁵ I shall live in all freedom because I have sought your precepts.

⁴⁷ Your commandments fill me with delight, I love them dearly.

⁴⁸ I stretch out my hands to your commandments that I love, and I ponder your judgements.
