Prayer to make Spiritual Communion: At your feet, O my Jesus I bow down and offer you the repentance of my contrite heart, which abysses itself into its nothingness and Your holy presence. I adore you in the Sacrament of Your love, the ineffable Eucharist. I wish to receive you in the poor home that my heart offers you. In anticipation of the happiness of sacramental communion, I want to possess you in spirit. Come to me, oh my Jesus, that I may come to you. May Your love inflame my whole being, for life and death. I believe in you, I hope in you, I love you. Amen.

GAL 5:1-6

Brothers and sisters:

For freedom Christ set us free;

so stand firm and do not submit again to the yoke of slavery.

It is I, Paul, who am telling you

that if you have yourselves circumcised,

Christ will be of no benefit to you.

Once again I declare to every man who has himself circumcised

that he is bound to observe the entire law.

You are separated from Christ,

you who are trying to be justified by law;

you have fallen from grace.

For through the Spirit, by faith, we await the hope of righteousness.

For in Christ Jesus,

neither circumcision nor uncircumcision counts for anything,

but only faith working through love.

PS 119:41, 43, 44, 45, 47, 48

Let your mercy come to me, O LORD,

your salvation according to your promise.

R. Let your mercy come to me, O Lord.

Take not the word of truth from my mouth,

for in your ordinances is my hope.

R. Let your mercy come to me, O Lord.

And I will keep your law continually,

forever and ever.

R. Let your mercy come to me, O Lord.

And I will walk at liberty,

because I seek your precepts.

R. Let your mercy come to me, O Lord.

And I will delight in your commands, 

which I love.

And I will lift up my hands to your commands

and meditate on your statutes.

R. Let your mercy come to me, O Lord.

able to discern reflections and thoughts of the heart.

R. Alleluia, alleluia.

Gospel

LK 11:37-41

After Jesus had spoken,

a Pharisee invited him to dine at his home.

He entered and reclined at table to eat.

The Pharisee was amazed to see

that he did not observe the prescribed washing before the meal.

The Lord said to him, “Oh you Pharisees!

Although you cleanse the outside of the cup and the dish,

inside you are filled with plunder and evil.

You fools!

Did not the maker of the outside also make the inside?

But as to what is within, give alms,

and behold, everything will be clean for you.”
