A reading from the first letter of St. John.

Beloved, we have this confidence in him,

that if we ask anything according to his will, he hears us. And if we know that he hears us in regard to

whatever we ask, we know that what we have asked him for is ours. If anyone sees his brother

sinning, if the sin is not deadly, he should pray to God,

and he will give him life.

This is only for those whose sin is not deadly.

There is such a thing as deadly sin,

about which I do not say that you should pray.

All wrongdoing is sin,

but there is sin that is not deadly.

We know that anyone begotten by God does not sin, but the one begotten by God he protects, and

the evil one cannot touch him.

We know that we belong to God, and the whole world is under the power of the evil one.

We also know that the Son of God has come and has given us discernment to know the one who

is true. And we are in the one who is true. And we are in the one who is true, in His Son, Jesus Christ. He is the true God and eternal life. Children, be on your guard against idols.

The Word of the Lord

Responsorial Psalm.

The response is, the Lord takes delight in his people.

Sing to the Lord a new song of praise in the assembly of the faithful. Let Israel

be glad in their maker. Let the children of Zion rejoice in their king. The Lord takes delight
