Reading 1, First Timothy 1:1-2, 12-14

¹ Paul, apostle of Christ Jesus appointed by the command of God our Saviour and of Christ Jesus our hope,

² to Timothy, true child of mine in the faith. Grace, mercy and peace from God the Father and from Christ Jesus our Lord.

¹² I thank Christ Jesus our Lord, who has given me strength. By calling me into his service he has judged me trustworthy,

¹³ even though I used to be a blasphemer and a persecutor and contemptuous. Mercy, however, was shown me, because while I lacked faith I acted in ignorance;

¹⁴ but the grace of our Lord filled me with faith and with the love that is in Christ Jesus.

Responsorial Psalm, Psalms 16:1-2, 5, 7-8, 11

¹ [In a quiet voice Of David] Protect me, O God, in you is my refuge.

² To Yahweh I say, 'You are my Lord, my happiness is in none

⁵ My birthright, my cup is Yahweh; you, you alone, hold my lot secure.

⁷ I bless Yahweh who is my counsellor, even at night my heart instructs me.

⁸ I keep Yahweh before me always, for with him at my right hand, nothing can shake me.

¹¹ You will teach me the path of life, unbounded joy in your presence, at your right hand delight for ever.
