Letter of Saint Paul to the Galatians (Gal 3: 22-29)

Through faith you are all children of God.

Brothers and sisters:
Scripture confined all things under the power of sin,
that through faith in Jesus Christ
the promise might be given to those who believe.

Before faith came, we were held in custody under law,
confined for the faith that was to be revealed.
Consequently, the law was our disciplinarian for Christ,
that we might be justified by faith.
But now that faith has come, we are no longer under a disciplinarian.
For through faith you are all children of God in Christ Jesus.
For all of you who were baptized into Christ
have clothed yourselves with Christ.
There is neither Jew nor Greek,
there is neither slave nor free person,
there is not male and female;
for you are all one in Christ Jesus.
And if you belong to Christ, then you are Abraham’s descendants,
heirs according to the promise.

— The word of the Lord.

Responsorial Psalm

Ps 105: 2-3, 4-5, 6-7

The Lord remembers his covenant for ever.

Sing to him, sing his praise,
proclaim all his wondrous deeds.
Glory in his holy name;
rejoice, O hearts that seek the LORD!

Look to the LORD in his strength;
seek to serve him constantly.
Recall the wondrous deeds that he has wrought,
his portents, and the judgments he has uttered.

You descendants of Abraham, his servants,
sons of Jacob, his chosen ones!
He, the LORD, is our God;
throughout the earth his judgments prevail.

Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint Luke (Lk 11: 27-28)

Blessed is the womb that carried you. – Rather, blessed are those who hear the word of God.

While Jesus was speaking,
a woman from the crowd called out and said to him,

“Blessed is the womb that carried you
and the breasts at which you nursed.”

He replied,

“Rather, blessed are those
who hear the word of God and observe it.”
