Responsorial Psalm
With resolve I waited for the Lord;
he listened and heard me beg.
He put a new song in my mouth,
a song of praise to our God.
Many will see and be awed and put their trust
in the Lord.
Sacrifice and oblation you did not desire;
this you had me understand.
Burnt offering and sin offering you do not require.
Then I said, "Here I come! as the scroll says of me.
Then I said, "Here I come! as the scroll says of me.
To do your will is my delight,
O God, for your law is within my heart."
In the great assembly I have proclaimed
your saving help. My lips, O Lord,
I did not seal - you know that very well.
2nd. READING (1Cor 6,13-15-17-20)
The body is not for sex, but for the Lord; and the Lord is for the body. And God who
raised the Lord, will also raise us with his power. Do you not know that your bodies
are members of Christ? And you would make that part of his body become a part of a
prostitute? Never! On the contrary, anyone united to the Lord becomes one spirit with
him. Avoid unlawful sex entirely. Any other sin a person commits is outside the body
but those who commit sexual immorality sin against their own body. Do you not know
that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit within you, given by God? You belong
no longer to yourselves. Remember at what price you have been bought and make
your body serve the glory of God.
Gospel
As John stood with two was of his disciples. As Jesus walked by, John looked at him
and said, "There is the Lamb of God." On hearing this, the two disciples followed
Jesus. He turned and saw them following, and he said to them, "What are you looking
for?" They answered, "Rabbi (which means Master), where are you staying?" Jesus
said, "Come and see." So they went and saw where he stayed and spent the rest of that
day with him. It was about four o'clock in the afternoon. Andrew, the brother of Simon
Peter, was one of the two who heard what John had said and followed Jesus. Early the
next morning he found his brother Simon and said to him, "We have found the
Messiah" (which means the Christ), and he brought Simon to Jesus. Jesus looked at
him and said, "You are Simon, son of John, but you shall be called Cephas" (which
means Rock).
