Reading 1, Titus 3:1-7

¹ Remind them to be obedient to the officials in authority; to be ready to do good at every opportunity;

² not to go slandering other people but to be peaceable and gentle, and always polite to people of all kinds.

³ There was a time when we too were ignorant, disobedient and misled and enslaved by different passions and dissipations; we lived then in wickedness and malice, hating each other and hateful ourselves.

⁴ But when the kindness and love of God our Saviour for humanity were revealed,

⁵ it was not because of any upright actions we had done ourselves; it was for no reason except his own faithful love that he saved us, by means of the cleansing water of rebirth and renewal in the Holy Spirit

⁶ which he has so generously poured over us through Jesus Christ our Saviour;

⁷ so that, justified by his grace, we should become heirs in hope of eternal life.

Responsorial Psalm, Psalms 23:1-3, 3-4, 5, 6

¹ [Psalm Of David] Yahweh is my shepherd, I lack nothing.

² In grassy meadows he lets me lie. By tranquil streams he leads me

³ to restore my spirit. He guides me in paths of saving justice as befits his name.

⁴ Even were I to walk in a ravine as dark as death I should fear no danger, for you are at my side. Your staff and your crook are there to soothe me.

⁵ You prepare a table for me under the eyes of my enemies; you anoint my head with oil; my cup brims over.

⁶ Kindness and faithful love pursue me every day of my life. I make my home in the house of Yahweh for all time to come.
