First Reading:

Ephesians 2: 19-22

 

19 Now therefore you are no more strangers and foreigners; but you are fellow citizens with the saints, and the domestics of God,

20 Built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner stone:

21 In whom all the building, being framed together, growa up into an holy temple in the Lord.

22 In whom you also are built together into an habitation of God in the Spirit.

 

Responsorial Psalm:

3 Day to day utters speech, and night to night shows knowledge.

4 There are no speeches nor languages, where their voices are not heard.

5 Their sound has gone forth into all the earth: and their words unto the ends of the world.

12 And it came to pass in those days, that He went out into a mountain to pray, and He passed the whole night in the prayer of God.

14 Simon, whom he surnamed Peter, and Andrew his brother, James and John, Philip and Bartholomew,

15 Matthew and Thomas, James the son of Alpheus, and Simon who is called Zelotes,

 16 And Jude, the brother of James, and Judas Iscariot, who was the traitor.
