SECOND READING
“Live in love, like Christ”
Reading of the letter of Saint Paul the apostle to the Ephesians 4, 30 - 5, 2
Brethren,
do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God,
who has marked you with his seal
for the day of your deliverance.
Bitterness, irritation, anger, loud voices or insults,
all of these must be eliminated from your life,
along with any kind of nastiness.
Be between yourselves full of generosity and tenderness.
Forgive one another,
as God forgave you in Christ.
Yes, seek to imitate God,
since you are his beloved children.
Live in love,
as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us,
offering himself as a sacrifice to God,
like a perfume of pleasant odor.
- Word of the Lord.
