ST. PAUL’S LETTER TO THE GALATIANS 5:22-26; 6:1-2

Brethren, the fruit of the Spirit is

love,

joy,

peace,

patience,

kindness,

goodness,

faithfulness ,

gentleness,

self-control;

against such there is no law.

And those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires.

If we live by the Spirit, let us also walk by the Spirit.

Let us have no self-conceit, no provoking of one another, no envy of one another.

Brethren, if a man is overtaken in any trespass, you who are spiritual should restore him in a spirit of gentleness.

Look to yourself, lest you too be tempted.

Bear one another’s burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ.

LUKE 6:12-19

At that time, Jesus went out to the mountain to pray; and all night he continued in prayer to God.

And when it was day, he called his disciples, and chose from them twelve, whom he named apostles;

Simon, whom he named Peter, and

Andrew his brother, and

James and

John, and

Philip, and

Bartholomew, and

Matthew, and

Thomas, and

James the son of Alphaios, and

Simon who was called the Zealot, and

Judas the son of James, and Judas Iscariot, who became a traitor.

And he came down with them and stood on a level place, with a great crowd of his disciples and a great multitude of people from all Judea and Jerusalem and the seacoast of Tyre and Sidon, who came to hear him and to be healed of their diseases; and those who were troubled with unclean spirits were cured.

And all the crowd sought to touch him, for power came forth from him and healed them all.
