22The LORD said to Moses: 23 “Speak to Aaron and his sons and tell them: This is how you shall bless the Israelites. Say to them:
24The LORD bless you and keep you!
25The LORD let his face shine upon you, and be gracious to you!
26The LORD look upon you kindly and give you peace!
27So shall they invoke my name upon the Israelites, and I will bless them.”
Responsorial Psalm: Psalms 67:2-3, 5, 6, 8.
R. (2a) May God bless us in his mercy.
2 May God have pity on us and bless us;
may he let his face shine upon us.
3 So may your way be known upon earth;
among all nations, your salvation.
R. May God bless us in his mercy.

because you rule the peoples in equity;

Second Reading: Galatians 4:4-7
Brothers and sisters: 4When the fullness of time had come, God sent his Son, born of a woman, born under the law, 5 to ransom those under the law, so that we might receive adoption as sons. 6As proof that you are sons, God sent the Spirit of his Son into our hearts, crying out, “Abba, Father!” 7So you are no longer a slave but a son, and if a son then also an heir, through God.
Alleluia: Hebrews 1:1-2
R. Alleluia, alleluia.
1In the past God spoke to our ancestors
through the prophets;
2 in these last days, he has spoken to us
through the Son.
R. Alleluia, alleluia.
