    Reading 1 Gal 3:1-5

    O stupid Galatians!
    Who has bewitched you,
    before whose eyes Jesus Christ was publicly portrayed as crucified?
    I want to learn only this from you:
    did you receive the Spirit from works of the law,
    or from faith in what you heard?
    Are you so stupid?
    After beginning with the Spirit,
    are you now ending with the flesh?
    Did you experience so many things in vain?–
    if indeed it was in vain.
    Does, then, the one who supplies the Spirit to you
    and works mighty deeds among you
    do so from works of the law
    or from faith in what you heard?

    Responsorial Psalm Luke 1:69-70, 71-72, 73-75

    R. (68) Blessed be the Lord, the God of Israel; he has come to his people.
    He has raised up for us a mighty savior,
    born of the house of his servant David.
    R. Blessed be the Lord, the God of Israel; he has come to his people.
    Through his holy prophets he promised of old
    that he would save us from our enemies,
    from the hands of all who hate us.
    R. Blessed be the Lord, the God of Israel; he has come to his people.
    He promised to show mercy to our fathers
    and to remember his holy covenant.
    R. Blessed be the Lord, the God of Israel; he has come to his people.
    This was the oath he swore to our father Abraham:
    to set us free from the hands of our enemies,
    free to worship him without fear,
    holy and righteous in his sight
    all the days of our life.
    R. Blessed be the Lord, the God of Israel; He has come to his people.

    Alleluia See Acts 16:14b

    R. Alleluia, alleluia.
    Open our hearts, O Lord,
    to listen to the words of your Son.
    R. Alleluia, alleluia.

    Gospel Lk 11:5-13

    Jesus said to his disciples:
    "Suppose one of you has a friend
    to whom he goes at midnight and says,
    'Friend, lend me three loaves of bread,
    for a friend of mine has arrived at my house from a journey
    and I have nothing to offer him,'
    and he says in reply from within,
    'Do not bother me; the door has already been locked
    and my children and I are already in bed.
    I cannot get up to give you anything.'
    I tell you, if he does not get up to give him the loaves
    because of their friendship,
    he will get up to give him whatever he needs
    because of his persistence.

    "And I tell you, ask and you will receive;
    seek and you will find;
    knock and the door will be opened to you.
    For everyone who asks, receives;
    and the one who seeks, finds;
    and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened.
    What father among you would hand his son a snake
    when he asks for a fish?
    Or hand him a scorpion when he asks for an egg?
    If you then, who are wicked,
    know how to give good gifts to your children,
    how much more will the Father in heaven give the Holy Spirit
    to those who ask him?"
