Epistle: Galatians 5:25-26 & 6:1-10
5:25
Brethren, since we live by the spirit, let the spirit be our rule of life;
26
we must not indulge vain ambitions, envying one another and provoking one another to envy.
6:1
Brethren, if a man is found guilty of some fault, you, who are spiritually minded, ought to shew a spirit of gentleness in correcting him. Have an eye upon thyself; thou too wilt perhaps encounter temptation.
2
Bear the burden of one another’s failings; then you will be fulfilling the law of Christ.
3
The man who thinks he is of some worth, when in truth he is worth nothing at all, is merely deluding himself.
4
Everyone should examine his own conduct; then he will be able to take the measure of his own worth; no need to compare himself with others.
5
Each of us, then, will have his own load to carry.
6
Your teachers are to have a share in all that their disciples have to bestow.
7
Make no mistake about it; you cannot cheat God.
8
A man will reap what he sows; if nature is his seed-ground, nature will give him a perishable harvest, if his seed-ground is the spirit, it will give him a harvest of eternal life.
9
Let us not be discouraged, then, over our acts of charity; we shall reap when the time comes, if we persevere in them.
10
Let us practise generosity to all, while the opportunity is ours; and above all, to those who are of one family with us in the faith.
Gospel: Luke: 7:11-16
11
At that time, it happened that he was going into a city called Naim, attended by his disciples and by a great multitude of people.
12
And just as he drew near the gate of the city, a dead man was being carried out to his burial; the only son of his mother, and she was a widow; and a crowd of folk from the city went with her.
13
When the Lord saw her, he had pity on her, and said, Do not weep.
14
Then he went up and put his hand on the bier; and those who were carrying it stood still. And he said, Young man, I say to thee, rise up.
15
And the dead man sat up, and spoke; and Jesus gave him back to his mother.
16
They were all overcome with awe, and said, praising God, A great prophet has risen up among us; God has visited his people.
