FIRST READING;

A reading from the first Letter of Saint Paul to the Corinthians 10:14-22

“We who are many are one body, for we all partake of the one bread.”

My beloved, shun the worship of idols. I speak as to sensible men; judge for yourselves what I say. The cup of blessing which we bless, is it not a participation in the blood of Christ? The bread which we break, is it not a participation in the body of Christ? Because there is one bread, we who are many are one body, for we all partake of the one bread. Consider the practice of Israel; are not those who eat the sacrifices partners in the altar? What do I imply then? That food offered to idols is anything, or that an idol is any- thing? No, I imply that what pagans sacrifice they offer to demons and not to God. I do not want you to be partners with demons. You cannot drink the cup of the Lord and the cup of demons. You can- not partake of the table of the Lord and the table of demons. Shall we provoke the Lord to jealousy? Are we stronger than he?

V/ The word of the Lord.

R/ Thanks be to God
