2nd Reading:
A Reading from the First Letter of John,
Beloved: Everyone who believes that Jesus is the Christ is begotten by God.
And everyone who loves the Father loves also the one begotten by Him.
In this way we know that we love the children of God when we love God
and obey his commandments. For the love of God is this: that we keep his
commandments. And his commandments are not burdensome. For whoever is
begotten by God conquers the world. And the victory that conquers the world is
our faith. Who indeed, is the victor over the world but the one who believes that
Jesus is Son of God?
This is the one who came through water and blood: Jesus Christ. Not by
water alone, but by water and blood. The spirit is the one that testifies, and the
Spirit is truth.
R – The word of the Lord!
All – Thanks be to God!
