2 that thy way may be known upon earth, thy
saving power among all nations. 3 Let the peoples praise thee,
O God; let all the peoples praise thee! 5 Let the peoples praise thee,

GOSPEL
John 12: 44
– 50
44 And Jesus cried out and said, "He who
believes in me, believes not in me but in him who sent me. 45 And
he who sees me sees him who sent me. 46 I have come as light into
the world, that whoever believes in me may not remain in darkness. 47 If
any one hears my sayings and does not keep them, I do not judge him; for I did
not come to judge the world but to save the world. 48 He
who rejects me and does not receive my sayings has a judge; the word that I
have spoken will be his judge on the last day. 49 For
I have not spoken on my own authority; the Father who sent me has himself given
me commandment what to say and what to speak. 50 And I know that his
commandment is eternal life. What I say, therefore, I say as the Father has
bidden me."
Love the poor tenderly, regarding
them as your masters and yourselves as their servants.
