February 7, 2025, Friday of the fourth week in ordinary time.

A reading from the letter to the Hebrews,

Let brotherly love continue.

Do not neglect hospitality, for through it some have unknowingly entertained angels.

Be mindful of prisoners as if sharing their imprisonment, and of the ill-treated as of yourselves,

for you also are in the body. Let marriage be honored among all, and the marriage bed be kept

undefiled, for God will judge the immoral and adulterers. Let your life be free from love of money, but be

content with what you have, for he has said, I will never forsake you or abandon you.

Thus we say with confidence, the Lord is my helper, and I will not be afraid. What can anyone do to me?

Remember your leaders who spoke the Word of God to you. Consider the outcome of their way of life

and imitate their faith. Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, yesterday, today, and forever.

The Word of the Lord.

The Responsorial Psalm.

The response is,

The Lord is my light and my salvation.

The Lord is my light and my salvation.

Whom should I fear?

The Lord is my life's refuge.

Of whom should I be afraid?

The Lord is my light and my salvation.

Though an army encamp against me, my heart will not fear.

Though war be waged upon me, even then will I I trust the Lord is my light and my salvation for he will hide me in his abode in the day of trouble he will conceal me in the shelter of his tent he will set me high upon a rock the The Lord is my light and my salvation.
