THE PENTECOST SUNDAY 23 MAY 2021 

SECOND READING 

"The fruit of 

the Spirit" 

Reading from the letter of Saint Paul the apostle to the Galatians (5, 16-25) 

Brothers, I tell you: walk under the guidance of the Holy Spirit, and you will not risk satisfying the lusts of the flesh. For the tendencies of the flesh are against the Spirit, and the tendencies of the Spirit are against the flesh. Indeed, there is a clash that prevents you from doing whatever you want. But if you let yourself be led by the Spirit, you are not subject to the Law. We know well what actions the flesh leads to: misconduct, impurity, debauchery, idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, rivalry, jealousy, outbursts, intrigues, divisions, bigotry, envy, drinking, orgies and the like. I warn you, as I have already done: those who commit such acts will not inherit the kingdom of God. But here is the fruit of the Spirit: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, benevolence, loyalty, gentleness and self-control. In these areas, the law does not intervene. Those who belong to Christ Jesus crucified the flesh in themselves, with its passions and its lusts. Since the Spirit gives us life, let us walk under the guidance of the Spirit. 

The Word of the Lord.,
