COMMENTATOR
Let us hear the Second Reading. A reading from the Letter of St. Paul to the Romans. (To be read by Roben Perviera)

Second reading From St Paul to the Romans

READER : Certainly the promise made to Abraham and his descendants that they would inherit the world did not depend on the law; it was made in view of the justice that comes from faith. Hence, all depends on faith, everything is grace

 Thus the promise holds true for all Abrahams descendants, not only for those who have the law but for all who have his faith. He is father of us all, which why Scripture says, I have made you father of many nation

 Yes, he is our father in the sight of God in whom believed, the God who restores the dead to life and calls into being those things which had not been. Hoping against hope, Abraham believed and so became the father o0f many nations, just as it was once told him, Numerous as this shall your descendants be. Thus his faith was credited to him as justice.
