SECOND READING
"Dead as a result of faults, it is by grace that you are saved"
Reading from the letter of Saint Paul the apostle to the Ephesians (2, 4-10)
Brothers, God is rich in mercy; because of the great love with which he loved us, we who were dead as a result of our faults, he gave us life with Christ: it is indeed by grace that you are saved. With him he resuscitated us and made us sit in heaven, in Christ Jesus. He wanted in this way to show, throughout future ages, the superabundant richness of his grace, by his goodness for us in Christ Jesus. It is indeed by grace that you are saved, and by means of faith. It doesn't come from you, it's the gift of God. It does not come from actions: no one can take pride in it. It is God who made us, he created us in Christ Jesus, with a view to carrying out good works which he prepared in advance for us to practice.
The Word of the Lord.
