First ReadingEphesians 2:19-22

So then you are no longer strangers and sojourners, but you are fellow citizens with the saints and members of the household of God, built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Christ Jesus himself being the cornerstone, in whom the whole structure is joined together and grows into a holy temple in the Lord; in whom you also are built into it for a dwelling place of God in the Spirit.

Responsorial PsalmPsalm 19:2-3, 4-5

℟Their message goes out through all the earth.

The heavens are telling the glory of God; and the firmament proclaims his handiwork.

Day to day pours forth speech, and night to night declares knowledge.

℟Their message goes out through all the earth.

There is no speech, nor are there words; their voice is not heard;

yet their voice goes out through all the earth, and their words to the end of the world. In them he has set a tent for the sun,

℟Their message goes out through all the earth.

Alleluia

℟Alleluia!

We praise you, O God,

We acclaim you as Lord;

The glorious company of Apostles praise you.

℟Alleluia!
