First Reading
A reading from the book of Genesis
They become one body. And they will be two in one flesh.
(2:18-24)
The Lord God said, “It is not good that the man should be
alone. I will make him a helpmate.” So from the soil the Lord
God fashioned all the wild beasts and all the birds of heaven.
These he brought to the man to see what he would call them;
each one was to bear the name the man would give it. The
man gave names to all the cattle, all the birds of heaven and
all the wild beasts.
But no helpmate suitable for man was found for him. So the
Lord God made the man fall into a deep sleep. And while he
slept, he took one of his ribs and enclosed it in flesh. The Lord
God built the rib he had taken from the man into a woman,
and brought her to the man. The man exclaimed:

If I am wihout love, it will do me no good whatever. (12:31 –

our hearts – that the Word of God may dwell there.
