Tuesday of the 28th week of Ordinary Time

1Stand fast, and be not held again under the yoke of bondage. 2Behold, I Paul tell you, that if you be circumcised, Christ shall profit you nothing. 3And I testify again to every man circumcising himself, that he is a debtor to the whole law. 4You are made void of Christ, you who are justified in the law: you are fallen from grace. 5For we in spirit, by faith, wait for the hope of justice. 6For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision: but faith that worketh by charity.

41VAU. Let thy mercy also come upon me, O Lord: thy salvation according to thy word.

…

43And take not thou the word of truth utterly out of my mouth: for in thy words have I hoped exceedingly.

44So shall I always keep thy law, for ever and ever.

45And I walked at large: because I have sought after thy commandments.

…

47I meditated also on thy commandments, which I loved.

48And I lifted up my hands to thy commandments, which I loved: and I was exercised in thy justifications.

37And as he was speaking, a certain Pharisee prayed him, that he would dine with him. And he going in, sat down to eat. 38And the Pharisee began to say, thinking within himself, why he was not washed before dinner. 39And the Lord said to him: Now you Pharisees make clean the outside of the cup and of the platter; but your inside is full of rapine and iniquity. 40Ye fools, did not he that made that which is without, make also that which is within? 41But yet that which remaineth, give alms; and behold, all things are clean unto you.
