LITURGY OF THE WORD First 9?§ading-Corinthians 5:1, 6-10 We have an everlasting home in heaven. A reading from the second letter of Taul to the Corinthians. We know that if our earthly dwelling, a tent,should 6e destroyed, we have a 6uidding from God, a dwelling not made with hands, eternal in heaven. So we are always courageous, although we know that while we are at home in the body we are away from the Lord,for we wark6y faith,not by sight. Yet we are courageous, and we would rather reave the body and go home to the Lord therefore, we aspire to prease him, whether we are at home or away. For we must appear before the judgment seat of Christ, so that each one may receive recompense, according to what he Burin the body, whethergood or evil the wordof the Lord.
