Thus says the LORD: 
This is what I commanded my people:

then I will be your God and you shall be my people.
Walk in all the ways that I command you,

Reading I Gn 3:1-8

Now the serpent was the most cunning of all the animals
that the LORD God had made.

Friday of the Third Week in Ordinary Time

Reading I Heb 10:32-39

Remember the days past when, after you had been enlightened, 
you endured a great contest of suffering.
