Reading 1<\/b>
\n<\/span>2 Samuel 12:7-10;13<\/span><\/h3>\n <\/p>\n
This week\u2019s first reading is from Samuel we hear Nathaniel appear to David to chastise him in the name of the Lord. The Lord reminds David that everything great that he has received has been a direct\u00a0blessing from Him. It was only by the very hand of God that David was able to reach where he has. In his ingratitude, David still sinned against the Lord with full knowledge. This is the definition of Mortal Sin, and we are equally susceptible to fall into sin as well. As soon as David responds and calls upon the Mercy of the Lord, The Father doesn\u2019t hesitate to forgive. Likewise for us, the Lord is only waiting for us to run into His arms of Mercy.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n
Responsorial Psalm<\/b><\/h3>\nPsalm 32:1-2, 5, 7, 11<\/span><\/h3>\nLord, forgive the wrong that I have done<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n
Reading 2<\/b><\/h3>\nGalatians 2:16,19-21<\/span><\/h3>\nThis week\u2019s second reading from St Paul\u2019s letter to the Galatians has some of the most beautiful wording of this whole epistle. He reminds us that we don\u2019t live out our faith simply by checking boxes from the law, if it was, then Christ died in vain, as St Paul says. If we truly call ourselves Christians, then we have to unite ourselves completely with His life, death and resurrection. Centered in that and resonating from that, then we can truly encounter the meaning of the Christian life. <\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n
Alleluia 1 John 4:10B<\/b><\/h3>\nR. Alleluia, Alleluia<\/span><\/h3>\nGod loved us and sent His Son as expiation for our sins.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n
Gospel<\/b><\/h3>\nLuke 7:36-8:3<\/span><\/h3>\nThis week\u2019s Gospel from St Luke is a continuation of this week\u2019s theme of mercy. We see two separate stories, the story of the sinful woman coming to Jesus to wash His feet with her own tears and hair. Then she anoints Him. The Pharisee is scandalized by the\u00a0situation because of the woman\u2019s known past, but then Jesus responds with a parable. <\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n
