LITURGY OF THE WORD

1st READING ISAIAH 58:7-10

(Charity)

The Lord promises those who share their food with the hungry and their clothing with the naked shall find true favor with Him. A light shall shine for them.

 

RESPONSORIAL PSALM 112

(The Just Man)

“The just man is a light in darkness to the upright”

 

2nd READING 1 CORINTHIANS 2:1-5

(Power of the Spirit)

Contrary to worldly standards, God chooses those who are weak, lowborn and despised. To these God has given his own Son, Jesus, for sanctification and redemption.

(Light of the World)

The faithful followers of Jesus are the salt of the earth and a light to the world. Being true Christ-believers, they become an example to others.
