Letter to the Galatians

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.

Psalms

Let your mercy come to me, O LORD,
your salvation according to your promise.
Take not the word of truth from my mouth,
for in your ordinances is my hope.
I will keep your law continually,
forever and ever.
I will walk at liberty,
because I seek your precepts.
I will delight in your commands,
which I love.
I will lift up my hands to your commands
and meditate on your statutes.

Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint Luke

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."

St. Teresa of Jesus(Virgin and Doctor of the Church (1515-1582) - Memorial)

SAINT TERESA OF JESUSVirgin and Doctor of the Church(1515-1582) St. Teresa was born in Avila, Spain. When she was 7 years old, she ran away from home in hope of being martyred by the Moors. When she was brought back and asked the reason for leaving, she replied, "I want to see God, and I must die before I can see Him." Later, she built a hermitage in the garden with her brother. Some years later, Teresa became a Carmelite nun. Frivolous conversations checked her progress toward perfection until she gave her heart undivided to God. At 31 years old, she received a vision of the place in eternity where her faults would have led her. She then mistrusted herself and relied entirely upon the will of God. She reformed her Order, was favored with distinct commands from our Lord, and attained union with God or the divine union of love (St. John of the Cross). St. Teresa was vigilant against conceitedness and self-delusion. She acted obediently to her confessors until the very end. Shepassed away on October 4, 1582. She was canonized on April 24, 1614, because of her heroic virtues and the miracles proceeding from her intercession.
