First Reading
Second 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.

PSALMS 32:1-2, 5, 7,
11
1 [Of David Poem] How
blessed are those whose offence is forgiven, whose sin blotted out.
2 How blessed are those
to whom Yahweh imputes no guilt, whose spirit harbours no deceit.
5 I made my sin known
to you, did not conceal my guilt. I said, 'I shall confess my offence to
Yahweh.' And you, for your part, took away my guilt, forgave my sin.
7 You are a refuge for
me, you guard me in trouble, with songs of deliverance you surround me.
11 Rejoice in Yahweh,
exult all you upright, shout for joy, you honest of heart.
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.

Gospel Reading
Luke 7:36-50, 8:1-3
36 One of the Pharisees
invited him to a meal. When he arrived at the Pharisee's house and took his
place at table,
37 suddenly a woman came
in, who had a bad name in the town. She had heard he was dining with the
Pharisee and had brought with her an alabaster jar of ointment.
38 She waited behind him
at his feet, weeping, and her tears fell on his feet, and she wiped them away
with her hair; then she covered his feet with kisses and anointed them with the
ointment.
39 When the Pharisee who
had invited him saw this, he said to himself, 'If this man were a prophet, he
would know who this woman is and what sort of person it is who is touching him
and what a bad name she has.'
40 Then Jesus took him
up and said, 'Simon, I have something to say to you.' He replied, 'Say on,
Master.'
41 'There was once a
creditor who had two men in his debt; one owed him five hundred denarii, the
other fifty.
42 They were unable to
pay, so he let them both off. Which of them will love him more?'
43 Simon answered, 'The
one who was let off more, I suppose.' Jesus said, 'You are right.'
44 Then he turned to the
woman and said to Simon, 'You see this woman? I came into your house, and you
poured no water over my feet, but she has poured out her tears over my feet and
wiped them away with her hair.
45 You gave me no kiss,
but she has been covering my feet with kisses ever since I came in.
46 You did not anoint my
head with oil, but she has anointed my feet with ointment.
47 For this reason I
tell you that her sins, many as they are, have been forgiven her, because she
has shown such great love. It is someone who is forgiven little who shows
little love.'
48 Then he said to her,
'Your sins are forgiven.'
49 Those who were with
him at table began to say to themselves, 'Who is this man, that even forgives
sins?'
50 But he said to the
woman, 'Your faith has saved you; go in peace.'
1 Now it happened that
after this he made his way through towns and villages preaching and proclaiming
the good news of the kingdom of God. With him went the Twelve,
2 as well as certain
women who had been cured of evil spirits and ailments: Mary surnamed the
Magdalene, from whom seven demons had gone out,
3 Joanna the wife of
Herod's steward Chuza, Susanna, and many others who provided for them out of
their own resources.
