THE SONG OF TOBIT

Blessèd be God who lives for ever:
blessèd be God who rules over all.
We give thanks to you O Lord before the nations:
for you have scattered us among them.
There we make your greatness known:
and exalt you in the presence of all the living,
because you are the Lord our God:
you are our Father for ever.

Gospel Reading - To gain eternal life

²⁵One day an expert on Moses’ laws came to test Jesus’ orthodoxy by asking him this question: “Teacher, what does a man need to do to live forever in heaven?”

²⁶Jesus replied, “What does Moses’ law say about it?”

²⁷“It says,” he replied, “that you must love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your strength, and with all your mind. And you must love your neighbor just as much as you love yourself.”

²⁸ “Right!” Jesus told him. “Do this and you shall live!”

Alleluia! Mary of Magdala said to the disciples,
I have seen the Lord!
The Lord is risen indeed! Alleluia!

The Lord's Prayer

Our Father in heaven,
     hallowed be your name,
     your kingdom come,
     your will be done,
          on earth as in heaven.
Give us today our daily bread.
Forgive us our sins
     as we forgive those who sin against us.
Save us from the time of trial
     and deliver us from evil.
For the kingdom, the power, and the glory are yours
     now and for ever.
Amen.
