First Reading: Galatians 2:1-2, 7-14
Brothers and Sisters: After fourteen years I went up again to Jerusalem with Barnabas, taking Titus along with me. I went up because of a revelation and set before them (though privately before those who seemed influential) the gospel that I proclaim among the Gentiles, in order to make sure I was not running or had not run in vain.
On the contrary, when they saw that I had been entrusted with the gospel to the uncircumcised, just as Peter had been entrusted with the gospel to the circumcised — for he who worked through Peter for his apostolic ministry to the circumcised worked also through me for mine to the Gentiles — and when James and Cephas and John, who seemed to be pillars, perceived the grace that was given to me, they gave the right hand of fellowship to Barnabas and me, that we should go to the Gentiles, and they to the circumcised. Only they asked us to remember the poor, the very thing I was eager to do.
But when Cephas came to Antioch, I opposed him to his face, because he stood condemned. For before certain men came from James, he was eating with the Gentiles; but when they came he drew back and separated himself, fearing the circumcision party. And the rest of the Jews acted hypocritically along with him, so that even Barnabas was led astray by their hypocrisy. But when I saw that their conduct was not in step with the truth of the gospel, I said to Cephas before them all, ‘If you, though a Jew, live like a Gentile and not like a Jew, how can you force the Gentiles to live like Jews?’
Responsorial Psalm: Psalm 116(117):1-2
Response: Go into all the world and proclaim the good news
- O praise the Lord, all you nations;
acclaim him, all you peoples! - For his mercy has prevailed over us;
and the faithfulness of the Lord endures for ever.
Gospel Acclamation: Alleluia, alleluia. You have received the Spirit of adoption as sons, by whom we cry, ‘Abba! Father!’ Alleluia.
Gospel: Luke 11:1-4
Jesus was praying in a certain place, and when he finished, one of his disciples said to him, ‘Lord, teach us to pray, as John taught his disciples.’ And he said to them, ‘When you pray, say: ‘Father, hallowed be your name. Your kingdom come. Give us each day our daily bread, and forgive us our sins, for we ourselves forgive everyone who is indebted to us. And lead us not into temptation.’
