First Reading Romans 3:21-30

21But now, without the law, the justice of God, to which the law and the prophets have testified, has been made manifest.
22And the justice of God, through the faith of Jesus Christ, is in all those and over all those who believe in him. For there is no distinction.
23For all have sinned and all are in need of the glory of God.
24We have been justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus,
25whom God has offered as a propitiation, through faith in his blood, to reveal his justice for the remission of the former offenses,
26and by the forbearance of God, to reveal his justice in this time, so that he himself might be both the Just One and the Justifier of anyone who is of the faith of Jesus Christ.
27So then, where is your self-exaltation? It is excluded. Through what law? That of works? No, but rather through the law of faith.
28For we judge a man to be justified by faith, without the works of the law.
29Is God of the Jews only and not also of the Gentiles? On the contrary, of the Gentiles also.
30For One is the God who justifies circumcision by faith and uncircumcision through faith.

Gospel Luke 11:47-54

47Woe to you, who build the tombs of the prophets, while it is your fathers who killed them!
48Clearly, you are testifying that you consent to the actions of your fathers, because even though they killed them, you build their sepulchers.
49Because of this also, the wisdom of God said: I will send to them Prophets and Apostles, and some of these they will kill or persecute,
50so that the blood of all the Prophets, which has been shed since the foundation of the world, may be charged against this generation:
51from the blood of Abel, even to the blood of Zachariah, who perished between the altar and the sanctuary. So I say to you: it will be required of this generation!
52Woe to you, experts in the law! For you have taken away the key of knowledge. You yourselves do not enter, and those who were entering, you would have prohibited.”
53Then, while he was saying these things to them, the Pharisees and the experts in the law began to insist strongly that he restrain his mouth about many things.
54And waiting to ambush him, they sought something from his mouth that they might seize upon, in order to accuse him.

In US parishes the readings are proclaimed from the NABRE; the text shown here is the Catholic Public Domain Version.

Old Testament readings and the psalm are listed with a link to their chapter: the US Lectionary numbers some of their verses differently from the CPDV, so their text is not printed here. Psalm citations keep the Lectionary’s Hebrew numbering; the CPDV numbers the Psalms as the Vulgate does.
