Reading 1, Galatians 3:22-29

²² As it is, scripture makes no exception when it says that sin is master everywhere; so the promise can be given only by faith in Jesus Christ to those who have this faith.

²³ But before faith came, we were kept under guard by the Law, locked up to wait for the faith which would eventually be revealed to us.

²⁴ So the Law was serving as a slave to look after us, to lead us to Christ, so that we could be justified by faith.

²⁵ But now that faith has come we are no longer under a slave looking after us;

²⁶ for all of you are the children of God, through faith, in Christ Jesus,

²⁷ since every one of you that has been baptised has been clothed in Christ.

²⁸ There can be neither Jew nor Greek, there can be neither slave nor freeman, there can be neither male nor female -- for you are all one in Christ Jesus.

²⁹ And simply by being Christ's, you are that progeny of Abraham, the heirs named in the promise.

Responsorial Psalm, Psalms 105:2-3, 4-5, 6-7

² Sing to him, make music for him, recount all his wonders!

³ Glory in his holy name, let the hearts that seek Yahweh rejoice!

⁴ Seek Yahweh and his strength, tirelessly seek his presence!

⁵ Remember the marvels he has done, his wonders, the judgements he has spoken.

⁶ Stock of Abraham, his servant, children of Jacob whom he chose!

⁷ He is Yahweh our God, his judgements touch the whole world.
