Reading 1, Philippians 3:3-8

³ We are the true people of the circumcision since we worship by the Spirit of God and make Christ Jesus our only boast, not relying on physical qualifications,

⁴ although, I myself could rely on these too. If anyone does claim to rely on them, my claim is better.

⁵ Circumcised on the eighth day of my life, I was born of the race of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, a Hebrew born of Hebrew parents. In the matter of the Law, I was a Pharisee;

⁶ as for religious fervour, I was a persecutor of the Church; as for the uprightness embodied in the Law, I was faultless.

⁷ But what were once my assets I now through Christ Jesus count as losses.

⁸ Yes, I will go further: because of the supreme advantage of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, I count everything else as loss. For him I have accepted the loss of all other things, and look on them all as filth if only I can gain Christ

Responsorial Psalm, Psalms 105:2-3, 4-5, 6-7

² Sing to him, make music for him, recount all his wonders!

³ Glory in his holy name, let the hearts that seek Yahweh rejoice!

⁴ Seek Yahweh and his strength, tirelessly seek his presence!

⁵ Remember the marvels he has done, his wonders, the judgements he has spoken.

⁶ Stock of Abraham, his servant, children of Jacob whom he chose!

⁷ He is Yahweh our God, his judgements touch the whole world.
