Hosea 2:16, 17, 21-22
16“And in that day, says the LORD, you will call me, ‘My husband,’ and no longer will you call me, ‘My Baʹal.’
17For I will remove the names of the Baʹals from her mouth, and they shall be mentioned by name no more.
21“And in that day, says the LORD, I will answer the heavens and they shall answer the earth;
22and the earth shall answer the grain, the wine, and the oil, and they shall answer Jezreel;
2 Corinthians 4:6-10, 16-18
6For it is the God who said, “Let light shine out of darkness,” who has shone in our hearts to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Christ.
7But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, to show that the transcendent power belongs to God and not to us.
8We are afflicted in every way, but not crushed; perplexed, but not driven to despair;
9persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed;
10always carrying in the body the death of Jesus, so that the life of Jesus may also be manifested in our bodies.
16So we do not lose heart. Though our outer nature is wasting away, our inner nature is being renewed every day.
17For this slight momentary affliction is preparing for us an eternal weight of glory beyond all comparison,
18because we look not to the things that are seen but to the things that are unseen; for the things that are seen are transient, but the things that are unseen are eternal.
Responsorial Psalm
Psalms 45:11-12, 14-16
10Hear, O daughter, consider, and incline your ear; forget your people and your father’s house;
11and the king will desire your beauty. Since he is your lord, bow to him;
13with all kinds of wealth. The princess is decked in her chamber with gold-woven robes;
14in many-colored robes she is led to the king, with her virgin companions, her escort, in her train.
15With joy and gladness they are led along as they enter the palace of the king.
Gospel
John 15:4-10
4Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit by itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in me.
5I am the vine, you are the branches. He who abides in me, and I in him, he it is that bears much fruit, for apart from me you can do nothing.
6If a man does not abide in me, he is cast forth as a branch and withers; and the branches are gathered, thrown into the fire and burned.
7If you abide in me, and my words abide in you, ask whatever you will, and it shall be done for you.
8By this my Father is glorified, that you bear much fruit, and so prove to be my disciples.
9As the Father has loved me, so have I loved you; abide in my love.
10If you keep my commandments, you will abide in my love, just as I have kept my Father’s commandments and abide in his love.
