Romans 8: 12-17

12Consequently, brothers, we are not debtors to the flesh, to live according to the flesh. 13For if you live according to the flesh, you will die, but if by the spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live. Children of God Through Adoption. 14For those who are led by the Spirit of God are children of God. 15For you did not receive a spirit of slavery to fall back into fear, but you received a spirit of adoption, through which we cry, “Abba, Father!” 16The Spirit itself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God, 17and if children, then heirs, heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ, if only we suffer with him so that we may also be glorified with him. Destiny of Glory.
Responsorial Psalm

Psalms 68: 2 and 4, 6-7ab, 20-21

2I - May God arise; may his enemies be scattered; may those who hate him flee before him. 4Then the just will be glad; they will rejoice before God; they will celebrate with great joy. 6Father of the fatherless, defender of widows— God in his holy abode, 7God gives a home to the forsaken, who leads prisoners out to prosperity, while rebels live in the desert. 20VI - Blessed be the Lord day by day, God, our salvation, who carries us. Selah 21Our God is a God who saves; escape from death is the LORD God’s.
Alleluia

John 17: 17b, 17a

17Consecrate them in the truth. Your word is truth.
Gospel

Luke 13: 10-17

10He was teaching in a synagogue on the sabbath. 11And a woman was there who for eighteen years had been crippled by a spirit; she was bent over, completely incapable of standing erect. 12When Jesus saw her, he called to her and said, “Woman, you are set free of your infirmity.” 13He laid his hands on her, and she at once stood up straight and glorified God. 14But the leader of the synagogue, indignant that Jesus had cured on the sabbath, said to the crowd in reply, “There are six days when work should be done. Come on those days to be cured, not on the sabbath day.” 15The Lord said to him in reply, “Hypocrites! Does not each one of you on the sabbath untie his ox or his ass from the manger and lead it out for watering? 16This daughter of Abraham, whom Satan has bound for eighteen years now, ought she not to have been set free on the sabbath day from this bondage?” 17When he said this, all his adversaries were humiliated; and the whole crowd rejoiced at all the splendid deeds done by him. The Parable of the Mustard Seed.
