St. Paul's Letter to the Ephesians 4:1-7
The reading is from St. Paul's Letter to the Ephesians 4:1-7
Brethren, I, a prisoner for the Lord, beg you to lead a life worthy
of the calling to which you have been called, with all lowliness
and meekness, with patience, forbearing one another in love, eager
to maintain the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace. There is
one body and one Spirit, just as you were called to the one hope
that belongs to your call, one Lord, one faith, one baptism, one
God and Father of us all, who is above all and through all and in
all. But grace was given to each of us according to the measure of
Christ's gift.
Prokeimenon. Mode Plagal 4. Psalm 75.11,1
Make your vows to the Lord our God and perform them.
Verse:
God is known in Judah; his name is great in Israel.
The Gospel Reading
The Gospel According to Luke 18:18-27
At that time, a ruler came to Jesus and asked him, "Good Teacher,
what shall I do to inherit eternal life?" And Jesus said to him,
"Why do you call me good? No one is good but God alone. You know
the commandments: 'Do not commit adultery, Do not kill, Do not
steal, Do not bear false witness, Honor your father and mother.' "
And he said, "All these I have observed from my youth." And when
Jesus heard it, he said to him, "One thing you still lack. Sell all
that you have and distribute it to the poor, and you will have
treasure in heaven; and come, follow me." But when he heard this he
became sad, for he was very rich. Jesus looking at him said, "How
hard it is for those who have riches to enter the kingdom of God!
For it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than
for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God." Those who heard it
said, "Then who can be saved?" But he said, "What is impossible
with men is possible with God."
