First Reading

Romans 8:28-39

Brethren: We know that to them that love God, all things work together unto good, to such as, according to his purpose, are called to be saints. For whom he foreknew, he also predestinated to be made conformable to the image of his Son; that he might be the firstborn amongst many brethren.

What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who is against us? He that spared not even his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how hath he not also, with him, given us all things? Who shall separate us from the love of Christ?

Responsorial Psalm

Psalm 84:2-3, 4-5, 10-11

R. How lovely is your dwelling place, O Lord of hosts.

My soul longeth and fainteth for the courts of the Lord. My heart and my flesh have rejoiced in the living God.

R. How lovely is your dwelling place, O Lord of hosts.

Blessed are they that dwell in thy house, O Lord: they shall praise thee for ever and ever. For better is one day in thy courts above thousands.

R. How lovely is your dwelling place, O Lord of hosts.

Holy Gospel

John 4:10-14

Jesus answered, and said to her: If thou didst know the gift of God, and who he is that saith to thee, Give me to drink; thou perhaps wouldst have asked of him, and he would have given thee living water. Whosoever drinketh of this water, shall thirst again; but he that shall drink of the water that I will give him, shall not thirst for ever: But the water that I will give him, shall become in him a fountain of water, springing up into life everlasting.
