A reading from the letter of St. Paul to the Romans, brothers and sisters, Abraham did not doubt God's promise and unbelief.

Rather he was empowered by faith and gave glory to God and was fully convinced that what God had promised he was also able to do.

That is why it was credited to him as righteousness.

But it was not for him alone that it was written, that it was credited to him.

It was also for us, to whom it was been credited, who believe in the one who raised Jesus,

our Lord from the dead, who has handed over for our

transgressions and was raised for our justification. The word of the Lord, thanks be to God.

Blessed be the Lord, the God of Israel, he has come to his people. Blessed be the Lord, the God of Israel, he has come to his people.

He has come to the help of his, he has come to his people and set them free. He has raised up for us a

mighty Savior, born at the house of his servant, David. Blessed be the Lord, the God of Israel,

he has come to his people. Through his holy prophets, he promised

of all that he would save us from our enemies from the hands of all who hate us. He promised to show

mercy to our fathers and remember his Holy Covenant. 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.

Blessed be the Lord, the God of Israel, he has come to his people.

My brothers and sisters, may our Lord be with you and with your spirit.

A reading from the Holy Gospel according to St. Luke.

Glory to you, O Lord.

Someone in the crowd said to Jesus,

Teacher, tell my brother to share the inheritance with me.

He replied to him,

Friend, who appointed me as your judge and arbitrator?
