First Reading for Memorial of Saint Elizabeth of Hungary, Religious - Daily Catholic Mass Reading
1 John 3:14-18
Beloved:
We know that we have passed from death to life because we love our brothers.
Whoever does not love remains in death. Everyone who hates his brother is a murderer, and you know that anyone who is a murderer does not have eternal life remaining in him.
The way we came to know love was that he laid down his life for us; so we ought to lay down our lives for our brothers.
If someone who has worldly means sees a brother in need and refuses him compassion, how can the love of God remain in him?
Children, let us love not in word or speech but in deed and truth.
