Reading 1, Philippians 3:17--4:1

¹⁷ Brothers, be united in imitating me. Keep your eyes fixed on those who act according to the example you have from me.

¹⁸ For there are so many people of whom I have often warned you, and now I warn you again with tears in my eyes, who behave like the enemies of Christ's cross.

¹⁹ They are destined to be lost; their god is the stomach; they glory in what they should think shameful, since their minds are set on earthly things.

²⁰ But our homeland is in heaven and it is from there that we are expecting a Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ,

²¹ who will transfigure the wretched body of ours into the mould of his glorious body, through the working of the power which he has, even to bring all things under his mastery.

¹ So then, my brothers and dear friends whom I miss so much, my joy and my crown, hold firm in the Lord, dear friends.

Responsorial Psalm, Psalms 122:1-2, 3-4, 4-5

¹ [Song of Ascents Of David] I rejoiced that they said to me, 'Let us go to the house of Yahweh.'

² At last our feet are standing at your gates, Jerusalem!

³ Jerusalem, built as a city, in one united whole,

⁴ there the tribes go up, the tribes of Yahweh, a sign for Israel to give thanks to the name of Yahweh.

⁵ For there are set the thrones of judgement, the thrones of the house of David.
