First Reading for Saint Francis of Assisi, Religious

Galatians 6:14-18

Summary: I boast only in the cross of Christ, which has made me a new creation. Peace to all who follow this rule, and may the Lord’s grace be with you.

Boasting in the Cross

Brothers and sisters:

May I never boast except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, through which the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world.

For neither does circumcision mean anything, nor does uncircumcision, but only a new creation.

Peace and mercy be to all who follow this rule and to the Israel of God.

From now on, let no one make troubles for me; for I bear the marks of Jesus on my body.

The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit, brothers and sisters. Amen.
