Psalm

Psalms 18:46-47

46The Lord lives! Blessed be my Rock! Let the God of my salvation be exalted.47It is God who avenges me, And subdues the peoples under me;

Gospel

John 6:70 - 7:1

70Jesus answered them, Did I not choose you, the twelve, and one of you is a devil?71He spoke of Judas Iscariot, the son of Simon, for it was he who would betray Him, being one of the twelve.1After these things Jesus walked in Galilee; for He did not want to walk in Judea, because the Jews sought to kill Him.

Matins

Psalm

Psalms 118:26-27

26Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord! We have blessed you from the house of the Lord.27God is the Lord, And He has given us light

Gospel

Mark 7:5-8

5Then the Pharisees and scribes asked Him, Why do Your disciples not walk according to the tradition of the elders, but eat bread with unwashed hands?6He answered and said to them, Well did Isaiah prophesy of you hypocrites, as it is written: `This people honors Me with their lips, But their heart is far from Me.7And in vain they worship Me, Teaching as doctrines the commandments of men.'8For laying aside the commandment of God, you hold the tradition of men--the washing of pitchers and cups, and many other such things you do.

Liturgy

Pauline

Romans 6:5-11

5For if we have been united together in the likeness of His death, certainly we also shall be in the likeness of His resurrection,6knowing this, that our old man was crucified with Him, that the body of sin might be done away with, that we should no longer be slaves of sin.7For he who has died has been freed from sin.8Now if we died with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with Him,9knowing that Christ, having been raised from the dead, dies no more. Death no longer has dominion over Him.10For the death that He died, He died to sin once for all; but the life that He lives, He lives to God.11Likewise you also, reckon yourselves to be dead indeed to sin, but alive to God in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Catholic

1 John 4:18 - 5:1

18There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear, because fear involves torment. But he who fears has not been made perfect in love.19We love Him because He first loved us.20If someone says, I love God, and hates his brother, he is a liar; for he who does not love his brother whom he has seen, how can he love God whom he has not seen?21And this commandment we have from Him: that he who loves God must love his brother also.1Whoever believes that Jesus is the Christ is born of God, and everyone who loves Him who begot also loves him who is begotten of Him.

Acts

Acts 7:51-54

51You stiffnecked and uncircumcised in heart and ears! You always resist the Holy Spirit; as your fathers did, so do you.52Which of the prophets did your fathers not persecute? And they killed those who foretold the coming of the Just One, of whom you now have become the betrayers and murderers,53who have received the law by the direction of angels and have not kept it.54When they heard these things they were cut to the heart, and they gnashed at him with their teeth.

Psalm

Psalms 39:12

12Hear my prayer, O Lord, And give ear to my cry; Do not be silent at my tears; For I am a stranger with You, A sojourner, as all my fathers were.

Gospel

John 17:18-21

18As You sent Me into the world, I also have sent them into the world.19And for their sakes I sanctify Myself, that they also may be sanctified by the truth.20I do not pray for these alone, but also for those who will believe in Me through their word;21that they all may be one, as You, Father, are in Me, and I in You; that they also may be one in Us, that the world may believe that You sent Me.
