Saturday of the 27th week of Ordinary Time

22But Scripture has enclosed everything under sin, so that the promise, by the faith of Jesus Christ, might be given to those who believe. 23But before the faith arrived, we were preserved by being enclosed under the law, unto that faith which was to be revealed. 24And so the law was our guardian in Christ, in order that we might be justified by faith. 25But now that faith has arrived, we are no longer under a guardian. 26For you are all sons of God, through the faith which is in Christ Jesus. 27For as many of you as have been baptized in Christ have become clothed with Christ. 28There is neither Jew nor Greek; there is neither servant nor free; there is neither male nor female. For you are all one in Christ Jesus. 29And if you are Christ’s, then are you the offspring of Abraham, heirs according to the promise.

2Sing to him, and sing psalms to him. Describe all his wonders.

3Be praised in his holy name. Let the heart of those who seek the Lord rejoice.

4Seek the Lord, and be confirmed. Seek his face always.

5Remember his miracles, which he has done, his portents and the judgments of his mouth:

6you offspring of Abraham his servant, you sons of Jacob his elect.

7He is the Lord our God. His judgments are throughout the entire earth.

27And it happened that, when he was saying these things, a certain woman from the crowd, lifting up her voice, said to him, “Blessed is the womb that bore you and the breasts that nursed you.” 28Then he said, “Yes, but moreover: blessed are those who hear the word of God and keep it.”
