November 2nd : Second reading
Now we have been reconciled by the death of his Son, surely we may count on being saved by the life of his Son
A reading from the letter of St.Paul to the Romans 5: 5-11
Brethren: Hope does not put us to shame, because God’s love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit who has been given to us. While we were still weak, at the right time Christ died for the ungodly. For one will scarcely die for a righteous person— though perhaps for a good person one would dare even to die— but God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. Since, therefore, we have now been justified by his blood, much more shall we be saved by him from the wrath of God. For if while we were enemies we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, now that we are reconciled, shall we be saved by his life. More than that, we also rejoice in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received reconciliation.
The Word of the Lord.
