Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ, according to the commandment of God our Saviour, and of Christ Jesus our hope: To Timothy, his beloved son in faith. Grace, mercy, and peace from God the Father, and from Christ Jesus our Lord. I give thanks who hath strengthened me, even to Christ Jesus our Lord, for that he hath counted me faithful, putting me in the ministry; Who before was a blasphemer, and a persecutor, and contumelious. But I obtained the mercy of God, because I did it ignorantly in unbelief. Now the grace of our Lord hath abounded exceedingly with faith and love, which is in Christ Jesus.
Responsorial Psalm: cf. Psalm 16 (15):5a; V. 1b-2a and 5, 7-8, 11
R. The Lord is the portion of my inheritance and of my cup:V. Preserve me, O Lord, for I have put my trust in thee.I have said to the Lord, thou art my God,The Lord is the portion of my inheritance and of my cup:it is thou that wilt restore my inheritance to me.V. I will bless the Lord, who hath given me understanding:moreover my reins also have corrected me even till night.I set the Lord always in my sight:for he is at my right hand, that I be not moved.V. Thou hast made known to me the ways of life,thou shalt fill me with joy with thy countenance:at thy right hand are delights even to the end.
Gospel Reading: Luke 6:39-42
And he spoke also to them a similitude: Can the blind lead the blind? do they not both fall into the ditch?The disciple is not above his master: but every one shall be perfect, if he be as his master. And why seest thou the mote in thy brother's eye: but the beam that is in thy own eye thou considerest not? Or how canst thou say to thy brother: Brother, let me pull the mote out of thy eye, when thou thyself seest not the beam in thy own eye? Hypocrite, cast first the beam out of thy own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to take out the mote from thy brother's eye.
