First Reading

Galatians 2:1-2, 7-14

Then after fourteen years I again went up to Jerusalem with Barnabas, taking Titus along also. I went up in accord with a revelation, and I presented to them the Gospel that I preach among the Gentiles. On the contrary, when they saw that I had been entrusted with the Gospel to the uncircumcised, just as Peter to the circumcised, they gave me and Barnabas their right hands in partnership, that we should go to the Gentiles and they to the circumcised. But when Cephas came to Antioch, I opposed him to his face because he clearly was wrong. For, until some people came from James, he used to eat with the Gentiles; but when they came, he began to draw back and separated himself, because he was afraid of the circumcised. And the rest of the Jews acted hypocritically along with him, so that even Barnabas was carried away by their hypocrisy. But when I saw that they were not on the right road in line with the truth of the Gospel, I said to Cephas in front of all, 'If you, though a Jew, are living like a Gentile and not like a Jew, how can you compel the Gentiles to live like Jews?'

Responsorial Psalm

Psalm 117:1bc, 2

R. Go out to all the world, and tell the Good News.

Praise the LORD, all you nations, glorify him, all you peoples!

R. Go out to all the world, and tell the Good News.

For steadfast is his kindness toward us, and the fidelity of the LORD endures forever.

Second Reading

Romans 8:15bc

You have received a spirit of adoption as sons through which we cry: Abba! Father!

Gospel

Luke 11:1-4

Jesus was praying in a certain place, and when he had finished, one of his disciples said to him, 'Lord, teach us to pray just as John taught his disciples.' He said to them, 'When you pray, say: Father, hallowed be your name, your Kingdom come. Give us each day our daily bread and forgive us our sins for we ourselves forgive everyone in debt to us, and do not subject us to the final test.'
