FIRST READING 

"The Lord opened her mind to make 

her attentive to what Paul was saying" 

A Reading from the book of Acts of the Apostles (16, 11-15) 

With Paul, from Troas we reached the open sea and headed straight for the island of Samothrace, then, the next day, on Neapolis, and then on Philippi, which is a city in the first district of Macedonia and a Roman colony. We spent some time in this city and on the Sabbath we walked through the gate to reach the riverside, where we thought we would find a place of prayer. We sat down, and we talked to the women who had gathered. One of them named Lydia, a purple cloth trader from the city of Thyatira, who worshiped the one God, was listening. The Lord opened her mind to make her attentive to what Paul was saying. When she was baptized, she and all the people of her household, she addressed this invitation to us: “If you have recognized my faith in the Lord, therefore come to my house to stay there. This is how she forced our hand. 

The Word of the Lord.
