August 18th : Second reading
Be filled not with wine, but with the Spirit.
A Reading from the Letter of St.Paul to the Ephesians 5: 15-20
Be very careful about the sort of lives you lead, like intelligent and not like senseless people. This may be a wicked age, but you redeem it. And do not be thoughtless but recognise what is the will of the Lord. Do not drug yourselves with wine, this is simply dissipation; be filled with the Spirit. Sing the words and tunes of the psalms and hymns when you are together, and go on singing and chanting to the Lord in your hearts, so that always and everywhere you are giving thanks to God who is our Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.
The Word of the Lord.
Gospel Acclamation Jn1:14,12
Alleluia, alleluia!
The Word was made flesh and lived among us: to all who did accept him he gave power to become children of God.
Alleluia!
