FIRST READING
Gal 5:1-6

For freedom Christ has set us free; stand firm therefore, and do not submit again to a yoke of slavery. Look: I, Paul, say to you that if you accept circumcision, Christ will be of no advantage to you. I testify again to every man who accepts circumcision that he is obligated to keep the whole law. You are severed from Christ, you who would be justified[a] by the law; you have fallen away from grace. For through the Spirit, by faith, we ourselves eagerly wait for the hope of righteousness. For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision counts for anything, but only faith working through love.

PSALM
PS 119:41, 43, 44, 45, 47, 48

Response: Let your mercy come to me, O Lord.

Let your mercy come to me, O LORD,
your salvation according to your promise.

Take not the word of truth from my mouth,
for in your ordinances is my hope.

And I will keep your law continually,
forever and ever.

And I will walk at liberty,
because I seek your precepts.

And I will delight in your commands,
which I love.

. And I will lift up my hands to your commands
and meditate on your statutes.

GOSPEL
Lk 11:37-41

While Jesus was speaking, a Pharisee asked him to dine with him, so he went in and reclined at table. The Pharisee was astonished to see that he did not first wash before dinner. And the Lord said to him, “Now you Pharisees cleanse the outside of the cup and of the dish, but inside you are full of greed and wickedness. You fools! Did not he who made the outside make the inside also? But give as alms those things that are within, and behold, everything is clean for you.
