Reading 1 1 JN 3:11-21 BelovedandThis is the message you have heard from the beginningandwe should love one another,unlike Cain who belonged to the Evil Oneand slaughtered his brother.Why did he slaughter him?Because his own works were evil,and those of his brother righteous.Do not be amazed, then, brothers and sisters, if the world hates you.We know that we have passed from death to lifebecause we love our brothers.Whoever does not love remains in death.Everyone who hates his brother is a murderer,and you know that no murderer has eternal life remaining in him.The way we came to know lovewas that he laid down his life for usso we ought to lay down our lives for our brothers.If someone who has worldly meanssees a brother in need and refuses him compassion,how can the love of God remain in him?Children, let us love not in word or speechbut in deed and truth.Now this is how we shall know that we belong to the truthand reassure our hearts before himin whatever our hearts condemn,for God is greater than our hearts and knows everything.Beloved, if our hearts do not condemn us,we have confidence in God. Responsorial Psalm PS 100and1B-2, 3, 4, 5 R. (2a) Let all the earth cry out to God with joy.Sing joyfully to the LORD, all you landsserve the LORD with gladnesscome before him with joyful song.R.

Let all the earth cry out to God with joy.Enter his gates with thanksgiving,his courts with praiseGive thanks to him bless his name.R. Let all the earth cry out to God with joy.The LORD is goodandthe LORD, whose kindness endures forever,and his faithfulness, to all generations.R. Let all the earth cry out to God with joy. Alleluia R. Alleluia, alleluia.A holy day has dawned upon us.Come, you nations, and adore the Lord.Today a great light has come upon the earth.R. Alleluia, alleluia. Gospel JN 1:43-51 Jesus decided to go to Galilee, and he found Philip.And Jesus said to him, Follow me. Now Philip was from Bethsaida, the town of Andrew and Peter.Philip found Nathanael and told him, We have found the one about whom Moses wrote in the law,and also the prophets, Jesus, son of Joseph, from Nazareth. But Nathanael said to him, Can anything good come from Nazareth? Philip said to him, Come and see. Jesus saw Nathanael coming toward him and said of him, Here is a true child of Israel.There is no duplicity in him. Nathanael said to him, How do you know me? Jesus answered and said to him, Before Philip called you, I saw you under the fig tree. Nathanael answered him, Rabbi, you are the Son of God you are the King of Israel. Jesus answered and said to him, Do you believebecause I told you that I saw you under the fig tree?You will see greater things than this. And he said to him, Amen, amen, I say to you,you will see the sky opened and the angels of Godascending and descending on the Son of Man.
