SECOND READING A reading from the letter of St Paul to the Galatians.
You were called to liberty.
When Christ freed us, he meant us to remain free. Stand firm, therefore, and do not submit againto the yoke of slavery.
My brothers, you were called, as you know, to liberty; but be careful, or this liberty will providean opening for self-indulgence. Serve one another, rather, in works of love, since the whole of theLaw is summarised in a single command: Love your neighbour as yourself. If you go snapping ateach other and tearing each other to pieces, you had better watch or you will destroy the wholecommunity.
Let me put it like this: if you are guided by the Spirit you will be in no danger of yielding to self-indulgence, since self-indulgence is the opposite of the Spirit, the Spirit is totally against such athing, and it is precisely because the two are so opposed that you do not always carry out your goodintentions. If you are led by the Spirit, no law can touch you.
This is the word of the Lord.
GOSPEL ACCLAMATION Alleluia, Alleluia. Speak, Lord, your servant is listening:
you have the message of eternal life. Alleluia!
GOSPELA reading from the holy Gospel according to Luke.
Jesus resolutely took the road for Jerusalem. I will follow you wherever you go.
As the time drew near for him to be taken up to heaven, he resolutely took the road for Jerusalemand sent messengers ahead of him. These set out, and they went into a Samaritan village to makepreparations for him, but the people would not receive him because he was making for Jerusalem.Seeing this, the disciples James and John said, ‘Lord, do you want us to call down fire from heavento burn them up?’ But he turned and rebuked them, and they went off to another village.
As they travelled along they met a man on the road who said to him, ‘I will follow you whereveryou go.’ Jesus answered, ‘Foxes have holes and the birds of the air have nests, but the Son of Manhas nowhere to lay his head.’
Another to whom he said, ‘Follow me’, replied, ‘Let me go and bury my father first.’ But heanswered, ‘Leave the dead to bury their dead; your duty is to go and spread the news of thekingdom of God.’
Another said, ‘I will follow you, sir, but first let me go and say good-bye to my people at home.’Jesus said to him, ‘Once the hand is laid on the plough, no one who looks back is fit for thekingdom of God.’
This is the Gospel of the Lord.
FIRST READING A reading from the First Book of Kings.
Elisha rose and followed Elijah.
The Lord said to Elijah: ‘Go, you are to anoint Elisha son of Shaphat, of Abel Meholah, as prophetto succeed you.’
Leaving there, he came on Elisha son of Shaphat as he was ploughing behind twelve yoke of oxen,he himself being with the twelfth. Elijah passed near to him and threw his cloak over him. Elishaleft his oxen and ran after Elijah. ‘Let me kiss my father and mother, then I will follow you’ hesaid. Elijah answered, ‘Go, go back; for have I done anything to you?’
Elisha turned away, took the pair of oxen and slaughtered them. He used the plough for cookingthe oxen, then gave to his men, who ate. He then rose, and followed Elijah and became his servant.
This is the word of the Lord.
RESPONSORIAL PSALM R: O Lord, it is you who are my portion.
1. Preserve me, God, I take refuge in you. 3. And so my heart rejoices, my soul is glad;I say to the Lord: ‘You are my God.’ even my body shall rest in safety.O Lord, it is you who are my portion and cup; For you will not leaveit is you yourself who are my prize. R. my soul among the dead.
nor let your beloved know decay. R.2. I will bless the Lord who gives me counsel,who even at night directs my heart. 4. You will show me the path of life,I keep the Lord ever in my sight: the fullness of joy in your presence,since he is at my right hand, I shall stand firm. R. at your right hand happiness for ever. R.
