1ST READING: Romans 4:20-25

Brethren: No distrust made Abraham waver concerning the promise of God, but he grew strong in his faith as he gave glory to God, fully convinced that God was able to do what he had promised. That is why his faith was "reckoned to him as righteousness." But the words, "it was reckoned to him," were written not for his sake alone, but for ours also. It will be reckoned to us who believe in him that raised from the dead  Jesus our  Lord, who was put to death for our trespasses and raised for our justification.

Responsorial Psalm Luke 1

R. Blessed be the  Lord God of Israel,

For he has visited his people. He has raised up a horn of salvation for us in the house of his servant David, as he spoke by the mouth of his holy prophets from of old.

R. Blessed be the  Lord God of Israel,

That we should be saved from our enemies, and from the hand of all who hate us; to perform the mercy promised to our fathers, ant to remember his holy covenant.

R. Blessed be the  Lord God of Israel,

The oath which he swore to our father Abraham, to grant us that we, being delivered from the hand of our enemies, might serve him without fear, in holiness and righteousness before him all the days of our life.

R. Blessed be the  Lord God of Israel,

GOSPEL Luke 12:13-21

At that time: One of the multitude said to  Jesus, "Teacher, bid my brother divide the inheritance with me." But he said to him, "Man, who made me a judge or divider over you?" And he said to them, "Take heed, and beware of all covetousness; for a man's life does not consist in the abundance of his possessions." And he told them a parable, saying, "The land of a rich man brought forth plentifully; and he thought to himself, 'What shall I do, for I have nowhere to store my crops?' And he said, 'I will do this: I will pull down my barns, and build larger ones; and there I will store all my grain and my goods. And I will say to my soul, Soul, you have ample goods laid up for many years; take your ease, eat, drink, be merry. But God said to him, 'Fool! This night your soul is required of you; and the things you have prepared, whose will they be?' So is he who lays up treasure for himself, and is not rich toward God."

1ST READING: Romans 5:12.15.17-19.20-21

Brethren: As sin came into the world through one man and death through sin, and so death spread to all men because all men sinned. For if many died through one man's trespass, much more have the grace of God and the free gift in the grace of that one man  Jesus Christ abounded for many. If, because of one man's trespass, death reigned through that one man, much more will those who receive the abundance of grace and the free gift of righteousness reign in life through the one man  Jesus Christ. Then as one man's trespass led to condemnation for all men, so one man's act of righteousness leads to acquittal and life for all men. For as by one man's disobedience many were made sinners, so by one man's obedience many will be made righteous. Where sin increased, grace abounded all the more, so that, as sin reigned in death, grace also might reign through righteousness to eternal life through  Jesus Christ our  Lord.

In the scroll of the book it stands written of me: "I delight to do your will, O my God; your instruction lies deep within me."

Your justice I have proclaimed in the great assembly. My lips I have not sealed; you know it, O  Lord.

Blessed are those servants whom the master finds awake when he comes; truly, I say to you, he will gird himself and have them sit at table, and he will come and serve them. If he comes in the second watch, or in the third, and finds them so, blessed are those servants!

1ST READING: Romans 6:12-18

Brethren: Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal bodies, to make you obey their passions. Do not yield your members to sin as instruments of wickedness, but yield yourselves to God as men who have been brought from death to life, and your members to God as instruments of righteousness. For sin will have no dominion over you, since you are not under law but under grace. What then? Are we to sin because we are not under law but under grace? By no means! Do you not know that if you yield yourselves to any one as obedient slaves, you are slaves of the one whom you obey, either of sin, which leads to death, or of obedience, which leads to righteousness? But thanks be to God, that you who were once slaves of sin have become obedient from the heart to the standard of teaching to which you were committed, and, having been set free from sin, have become slaves of righteousness.

The Word of The Lord!.

Responsorial Psalm Psalm 147

R. Our help is in the name of the  Lord.

'If the  Lord had not been on our side, let Israel say - "If the  Lord had not been on our side when men rose against us, then would they have swallowed us alive when their anger was kindled."

R. Our help is in the name of the  Lord.

Then would the waters have engulfed us, the torrent gone over us; over our heads would have swept the raging waters.' Blest be the  Lord who did not give us a prey to their teeth!

R. Our help is in the name of the  Lord.

Our life, like a bird, has escaped from the snare of the fowler. Indeed, the snare has been broken, and we have escaped. Our help is in the name of the  Lord, who made heaven and earth.

R. Our help is in the name of the  Lord.

GOSPEL Luke 12:39-48

At that time:  Jesus said to his disciples, Know this, that if the householder had known at what hour the thief was coming, he would have been awake and would not have left his house to be broken into. You also must be ready; for the Son of man is coming at an unexpected hour." Peter said, " Lord, are you telling this parable for us or for all?" And the  Lord said, "Who then is the faithful and wise steward, whom his master will set over his household, to give them their portion of food at the proper time? Blessed is that servant whom his master when he comes will find so doing. Truly, I say to you, he will set him over all his possessions. But if that servant says to himself, 'My master is delayed in coming, and begins to beat the menservants and the maidservants, and to eat and drink and get drunk, the master of that servant will come on a day when he does not expect him and at an hour he does not know, and will punish him, and put him with the unfaithful. And that servant who knew his master's will, but did not make ready or act according to his will, shall receive a severe beating. But he who did not know, and did what deserved a beating, shall receive a light beating. Every one to whom much is given, of him will much be required; and of him to whom men commit much they will demand the more.

1ST READING: Romans 6:19-23

Brethren: I am speaking in human terms, because of your natural limitations. For just as you once yield your members to impurity and to greater and greater iniquity, so now yield your members to righteousness for sanctification. When you were slaves of sin, you were free in regard to righteousness. But then what return did you get from the things of which you are now ashamed? The end of those things is death. But now that you have been set free from sin and have become slaves of God, the return you get is sanctification and its end, eternal life. For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ  Jesus our  Lord.

The Word of The Lord!.

Responsorial Psalm Psalm 1

R. Blessed the man who has placed his trust in the  Lord.

Blessed indeed is the man who follows not the counsel of the wicked, nor stands in the path with sinners, nor abides in the company of scorners, but whose delight is the law of the  Lord, and who ponders his law day and night.

R. Blessed the man who has placed his trust in the  Lord.

He is like a tree that is planted beside the flowing waters, that yields its fruit in due season, and whose leaves shall never fade; and all that he does shall prosper.

R. Blessed the man who has placed his trust in the  Lord.

Not so are the wicked, not so! For they, like winnowed chaff, shall be driven away by the wind. For the  Lord knows the way of the just, but the way of the wicked will perish.

R. Blessed the man who has placed his trust in the  Lord.

I have a baptism to be baptized with; and how I am constrained until it is accomplished! Do you think that I have come to give peace on earth? No, I tell you, but rather division; for henceforth in one house there will be five divided, three against two and two against three; they will be divided, father against son and son against father, mother against daughter and daughter against her mother, mother-in-law against her daughter-in-law and daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law."

1ST READING: Romans 7:18-25

Brethren: I know that nothing good dwells within me, that is, in my flesh. I can will what is right, but I cannot do it. For I do not do the good want, but the evil I do not want is what I do. Now if I do what I do not want, it is no longer I that do it, but sin which dwells within me. So I find it to be a law that when I want to do right, evil lies close at hand. For I delight in the law of God, in my inmost self, but I see in my members another law at war with the law of my mind and making me captive to the law of sin which dwells in my members. Wretched man that I am! Who will deliver me from this body of death? Thanks be to God through  Jesus Christ our  Lord!

Responsorial Psalm Psalm 119

At that time:  Jesus said to the multitudes, "When you see a cloud rising in the west, you say at once, 'A shower is coming'; and so it happens. And when you see the south wind blowing, you say, 'There will be scorching heat'; and it happens. You hypocrites! You know how to interpret the appearance of earth and sky; but why do you not know how to interpret the present time? "And why do you not judge for yourselves what is right? As you go with your accuser before the magistrate, make an effort to settle with him on the way, lest he drag you to the judge, and the judge hand you over to the officer, and the officer put you in prison. I tell you, you will never get out till you have paid the very last copper."

1ST READING: Romans 8:1-11

Brethren: There is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ  Jesus. For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ  Jesus has set me free from the law of sin and death. For God has done what the law, weakened by the flesh, could not do: sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh and for sin, he condemned sin in the flesh, in order that the just requirement of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not according to the flesh but according to the Spirit. For those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who live according to the Spirit set their minds on the things of the Spirit. To set the mind on the flesh is death, but to set the mind on the Spirit is life and peace. For the mind that is set on the flesh is hostile to God; it does not submit to God's law, indeed it cannot; and those who are in the flesh cannot please God. But you are not in the flesh, you are in the Spirit, if the Spirit of God really dwells in you. Any one who does not have the Spirit of Christ does not belong to him. But if Christ is in you, although your bodies are dead because of sin, your spirits are alive because of righteousness. If the Spirit of him who raised  Jesus from the dead dwells in you, he who raised Christ  Jesus from the dead will give life to your mortal bodies also through his Spirit who dwells in you.

Responsorial Psalm Psalm 24

R. These are the people who seek your face, O  Lord.

The  Lord's is the earth and its fullness, the world, and all who dwell in it. It is he who set it on the seas; on the rivers he made it firm.

R. These are the people who seek your face, O  Lord.

Who shall climb the mountain of the  Lord? Who shall stand in his holy place? The clean of hands and pure of heart, whose soul is not set in vain things.

R. These are the people who seek your face, O  Lord.

Blessings from the  Lord he shall receive,  and right reward from the God who saves him.  Such are the people who seek him, who seek the face of the God of Jacob.

GOSPEL Luke 13:1-9

There were some present at that very time who told  Jesus of the Galileans whose blood Pilate had mingled with their sacrifices. And he answered them, "Do you think that these Galileans were worse sinners than all the other Galileans, because they suffered thus? I tell you, No; but unless you repent you will all likewise perish. Or those eighteen upon whom the tower in Siloam fell and killed them, do you think that they were worse offenders than all the others who dwelt in Jerusalem? I tell you, No; but unless you repent you will all likewise perish." And he told this parable: "A man had a fig tree planted in his vineyard; and he came seeking fruit on it and found none. And he said to the vinedresser, 'Behold, these three years I have come seeking fruit on this fig tree, and I find none. Cut it down; why should it use up the ground?' And he answered him, 'Let it alone, sir, this year also, till I dig about it and put on manure. And if it bears fruit next year, well and good; but if not, you can cut it down."

1ST READING: Sirach 35: 12-14.16-18

The  Lord is the judge, and with him is no partiality. He will not show partiality in the case of a poor man; and he will listen to the prayer of one who is wronged. He will not ignore the supplication of the fatherless, nor the widow when she pours out her story. He whose service is pleasing to the  Lord will be accepted, and his prayer will reach to the clouds. The prayer of the humble pierces the clouds, and he will not be consoled until it reaches the  Lord; he will not desist until the Most High visits him, and does justice for the righteous, and executes judgment. And the  Lord will not delay, neither will he be patient with them.

The  Lord turns his face against the wicked to destroy their remembrance from the earth. The just cry out, the  Lord hears, and rescues them in all their distress.

R. The lowly one called, and the  Lord heard him.

The  Lord is close to the broken-hearted; those whose spirit is crushed he will save. The  Lord ransoms the souls of his servants. All who trust in him shall not be condemned.

R. The lowly one called, and the  Lord heard him.

2ND READING:, 2 Timothy 4:6-8.16-18

Beloved: I am already on the point of being sacrificed; the time of my departure has come. I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. Henceforth there is laid up for me the crown of righteousness, which the  Lord, the righteous judge, will award to me on that Day, and not only to me but also to all who have loved his appearing. At my first defence no one took my part; all deserted me. May it not be charged against them! But the  Lord stood by me and gave me strength to proclaim the message fully, that all the Gentiles might hear it. So I was rescued from the lion's mouth. The  Lord will rescue me from every evil and save me for his heavenly kingdom. To him be the glory for ever and ever. Amen.

At that time:  Jesus told this parable to some who trusted in themselves that they were righteous and despised others: "Two men went up into the temple to pray, one a Pharisee and the other a tax collector. The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself, 'God, I thank you that I am not like other men, extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even like this tax collector. I fast twice a week, I give tithes of all that I get. But the tax collector, standing far off, would not even lift up his eyes to heaven, but beat his breast, saying, 'God, be merciful to me a sinner! I tell you, this man went down to his house justified rather than the other; for every one who exalts himself will be humbled, but he who humbles himself will be exalted."

1ST READING: Romans 8:12-17

Brethren, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live according to the flesh-- for if you live according to the flesh you will die, but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body you will live. For all who are led by the Spirit of God are sons of God. For you did not receive the spirit of slavery to fall back into fear, but you have received the spirit of sonship. When we cry, "Abba! Father!" it is the Spirit himself bearing witness with our spirit that we are children of God, and if children, then heirs, heirs of God and fellow heirs with Christ, provided we suffer with him in order that we may also be glorified with him.

At that time:  Jesus was teaching in one of the synagogues on the sabbath. And there was a woman who had had a spirit of infirmity for eighteen years; she was bent over and could not fully straighten herself. And en  Jesus saw her, he called her and said to her, "Woman, you are freed from your infirmity." And he laid his hands upon her, and immediately she was made straight, and she praised God. But the ruler of the synagogue, indignant because  Jesus had healed on the sabbath, said to the people, "There are six days on which work ought to be done; come on those days and be healed, and not on the sabbath day." Then the  Lord answered him, "You hypocrites! Does not each of you on the sabbath untie his ox or his donkey from the manger, and lead it away to water it? And ought not this woman, a daughter of Abraham whom Satan bound for eighteen years, be loosed from this bond on the sabbath day?" As he said this, all his adversaries were put to shame; and all the people rejoiced at all the glorious things that were done by him.

And all the crowd sought to touch him, for power came forth from him and healed them all.

Brethren: The Spirit helps us in our weakness; for we do not know how to pray as we ought, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with sighs too deep for words. And he who searches the hearts of men knows what is the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for the saints according to the will of God. We know that in everything God works for good with those who love him, who are called according to his purpose. For those whom he foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son, in order that he might be the first-born among many brethren. And those whom he predestined he also called; and those whom he called he also justified; and those whom he justified he also glorified.

When once the householder has risen up and shut the door, you will begin to stand outside and to knock at the door, saying, ' Lord, open to us.' He will answer you, 'I do not know where you come from. Then you will begin to say, 'We ate and drank in your presence, and you taught in our streets. But he will say, 'I tell you, I do not know where you come from; depart from me, all you workers of iniquity! There you will weep and gnash your teeth, when you see Abraham and Isaac and Jacob and all the prophets in the kingdom of God and you yourselves thrust out.

Brethren: If God is for us, who is against us? He who did not spare his own Son but gave him up for us all, will he not also give us all things with him? Who shall bring any charge against God's elect? It is God who justifies; who is to condemn? Is it Christ  Jesus, who died, yes, who was raised from the dead, who is at the right hand of God, who indeed intercedes for us? Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? As it is written, "For your sake we are being killed all the day long; we are regarded as sheep to be slaughtered." No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. For I am sure that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers, nor height, nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ  Jesus our  Lord.

For I could wish that I myself were accursed and cut off from Christ for the sake of my brethren, my kinsmen by race. They are Israelites, and to them belong the sonship, the glory, the covenants, the giving of the law, the worship, and the promises; to them belong the patriarchs, and of their race, according to the flesh, is the Christ. God who is over all be blessed for ever. Amen.

The Word of The Lord!.

Responsorial Psalm Psalm 147

R. O Jerusalem, glorify the  Lord!

O Sion, praise your God! He has strengthened the bars of your gates; he has blessed your children within you.

R. O Jerusalem, glorify the  Lord!

He established peace on your borders; he gives you your fill of finest wheat. He sends out his word to the earth, and swiftly runs his command.

R. O Jerusalem, glorify the  Lord!

He reveals his word to Jacob; to Israel, his decrees and judgments. He has not dealt thus with other nations; he has not taught them his judgments.

R. O Jerusalem, glorify the  Lord!

ACCLAMATION: 

 R. ALLELUIA. 

My sheep hear my voice, says the  Lord; and I know them, and they follow me.

R. ALLELUIA. 

GOSPEL Luke 14:1-6

One sabbath when  Jesus went to dine at the house of a ruler who belonged to the Pharisees, they were watching him. And behold, there was a man before him who had dropsy. And  Jesus spoke to the lawyers and Pharisees, saying, "Is it lawful to heal on the sabbath, or not?" But they were silent. Then he took him and healed him, and let him go. And he said to them, "Which of you, having an ass or an ox that has fallen into a well, will not immediately pull him out on a sabbath day?" And they could not reply to this.
