And infuse all humility among one another, for God resists the arrogant, but to the humble he gives grace. - 6 And so, be humbled under the powerful hand of God, so that he may exalt you in the time of visitation. - 7 Cast all your cares upon him, for he takes care of you. - 8 Be sober and vigilant. For your adversary, the devil, is like a roaring lion, traveling around and seeking those whom he might devour. - 9 Resist him by being strong in faith, being aware that the same passions afflict those who are your brothers in the world. - 10 But the God of all grace, who has called us to his eternal glory in Christ Jesus, will himself perfect, confirm, and establish us, after a brief time of suffering. - 11 To him be glory and dominion forever and ever. Amen. - 12 I have written briefly, through Sylvanus, whom I consider to be a faithful brother to you, begging and testifying that this is the true grace of God, in which you have been established. - 13 The Church which is in Babylon, elect together with you, greets you, as does my son, Mark. - 14 Greet one another with a holy kiss. Grace be to all of you who are in Christ Jesus. Amen.

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. Spotted a wrong date, color or citation?
