Stand firm, therefore, and do not submit again to a yoke of slavery.<\/p>\n<p class=\"lessonText\">For you were called to freedom, brothers and sisters; only do not use your freedom as an opportunity for self-indulgence, but through love become slaves to one another. For the whole law is summed up in a single commandment, &#8220;You shall love your neighbor as yourself.&#8221; If, however, you bite and devour one another, take care that you are not consumed by one another.<\/p>\n<p class=\"lessonText\">Live by the Spirit, I say, and do not gratify the desires of the flesh. For what the flesh desires is opposed to the Spirit, and what the Spirit desires is opposed to the flesh; for these are opposed to each other, to prevent you from doing what you want. But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not subject to the law. Now the works of the flesh are obvious: fornication, impurity, licentiousness, idolatry, sorcery, enmities, strife, jealousy, anger, quarrels, dissensions, factions, envy, drunkenness, carousing, and things like these. I am warning you, as I warned you before: those who do such things will not inherit the kingdom of God.<\/p>\n<p class=\"lessonText\">By contrast, the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, generosity, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. There is no law against such things. And those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. If we live by the Spirit, let us also be guided by the Spirit.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><i>Reader:<\/i> The Word of the Lord.<br \/>\n<i>People: <\/i>Thanks be to God.<\/p>\n<p><b>The Gospel Hymn: <\/b><br \/>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/7Zo43482laE\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><i>Leader:<\/i> The Holy Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ according to Luke<br \/>\n<i>People: <\/i>Glory to you, Lord Christ.<\/p>\n<p><b>Holy Gospel<br \/>\n<\/b><\/p>\n<div>\n<h3 class=\"lessonCitation\">Luke 9:51-62<\/h3>\n<div>\n<p class=\"lessonText\"><span class=\"initCap\">W<\/span>hen the days drew near for Jesus to be taken up, he set his face to go to Jerusalem.

Through him all things were made. For us and for our salvation he came down from heaven: by the power of the Holy Spirit he became incarnate from the Virgin Mary, and was made man. For our sake he was crucified under Pontius Pilate; he suffered death and was buried. On the third day he rose again in accordance with the Scriptures; he ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of the Father. He will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead, and his kingdom will have no end. We believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life, who proceeds from the Father and the Son. With the Father and the Son he is worshiped and glorified. He has spoken through the Prophets. We believe in one holy catholic and apostolic Church. We acknowledge one baptism for the forgiveness of sins. We look for the resurrection of the dead, and the life of the world to come.
