He that feareth God, will do good: and he that possesseth justice, shall lay hold on her, And she will meet him as an honourable mother, and will receive him as a wife married of a virgin. With the bread of life and understanding, she shall feed him, and give him the water of wholesome wisdom to drink: and she shall be made strong in him, and he shall not be moved: And she shall hold him fast, and he shall not be confounded: and she shall exalt him among his neighbours. And in the midst of the church she shall open his mouth, and shall fill him with the spirit of wisdom and understanding, and shall clothe him with a robe of glory. She shall heap upon him a treasure of joy and gladness, and shall cause him to inherit an everlasting name.
Responsorial Psalm: Psalm 119 (118):12; V. 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14
R. Blessed art thou, O Lord: teach me thy justifications.V. By what doth a young man correct his way?by observing thy words.V. With my whole heart have I sought after thee:let me not stray from thy commandments.V. Thy words have I hidden in my heart,that I may not sin against thee.V. Blessed art thou, O Lord:teach me thy justifications.V. With my lips I have pronouncedall the judgments of thy mouth.V. I have been delighted in the way of thy testimonies,as in all riches.
Gospel Reading: John 17:20-26
And not for them only do I pray, but for them also who through their word shall believe in me; That they all may be one, as thou, Father, in me, and I in thee; that they also may be one in us; that the world may believe that thou hast sent me. And the glory which thou hast given me, I have given to them; that they may be one, as we also are one: I in them, and thou in me; that they may be made perfect in one: and the world may know that thou hast sent me, and hast loved them, as thou hast also loved me. Father, I will that where I am, they also whom thou hast given me may be with me; that they may see my glory which thou hast given me, because thou hast loved me before the creation of the world. Just Father, the world hath not known thee; but I have known thee: and these have known that thou hast sent me. And I have made known thy name to them, and will make it known; that the love wherewith thou hast loved me, may be in them, and I in them.
