First Reading
2 SAMUEL 12:7-10, 13
7 Nathan then said to
David, 'You are the man! Yahweh, God of Israel, says this, "I anointed you
king of Israel, I saved you from Saul's clutches,
8 I gave you your
master's household and your master's wives into your arms, I gave you the House
of Israel and the House of Judah; and, if this is still too little, I shall
give you other things as well.
9 Why did you show
contempt for Yahweh, by doing what displeases him? You put Uriah the Hittite to
the sword, you took his wife to be your wife, causing his death by the sword of
the Ammonites.
10 For this, your
household will never be free of the sword, since you showed contempt for me and
took the wife of Uriah the Hittite, to make her your wife."
13 David said to Nathan,
'I have sinned against Yahweh.' Nathan then said to David, 'Yahweh, for his
part, forgives your sin; you are not to die.
“The
Word of the Lord”
PSALMS 31:1-2, 5, 7,
11
1 [For the choirmaster
Psalm Of David] In you, Yahweh, I have taken refuge, let me never be put to
shame, in your saving justice deliver me, rescue me,
2 turn your ear to me,
make haste. Be for me a rock-fastness, a fortified citadel to save me.
5 to your hands I
commit my spirit, by you have I been redeemed. God of truth,
7 I will delight and
rejoice in your faithful love! You, who have seen my misery, and witnessed the
miseries of my soul,
11 The sheer number of
my enemies makes me contemptible, loathsome to my neighbours, and my friends
shrink from me in horror. When people see me in the street they take to their
heels.
Second Reading
GALATIANS 2:16, 19-21
16 have nevertheless
learnt that someone is reckoned as upright not by practising the Law but by
faith in Jesus Christ; and we too came to believe in Christ Jesus so as to be
reckoned as upright by faith in Christ and not by practising the Law: since no
human being can be found upright by keeping the Law.
19 In fact, through the
Law I am dead to the Law so that I can be alive to God. I have been crucified
with Christ
20 and yet I am alive;
yet it is no longer I, but Christ living in me. The life that I am now living,
subject to the limitation of human nature, I am living in faith, faith in the
Son of God who loved me and gave himself for me.
21 I am not setting
aside God's grace as of no value; it is merely that if saving justice comes
through the Law, Christ died needlessly.

Word of the Lord”
