Have a good day!
-----
Thursday of the Thirty-fourth Week in Ordinary Time
-----
Gospel : Luke 21:20-28
20
"But when you see Jerusalem surrounded by armies, then know that its desolation is at hand.
21
Then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains. Let those who are in the middle of her depart. Let those who are in the country not enter therein.
22
For these are days of vengeance, that all things which are written may be fulfilled.
23
Woe to those who are pregnant and to those who nurse infants in those days! For there will be great distress in the land and wrath to this people.
24
They will fall by the edge of the sword, and will be led captive into all the nations. Jerusalem will be trampled down by the Gentiles until the times of the Gentiles are fulfilled.
25
"There will be signs in the sun, moon, and stars; and on the earth anxiety of nations, in perplexity for the roaring of the sea and the waves;
26
men fainting for fear and for expectation of the things which are coming on the world, for the powers of the heavens will be shaken.
27
Then they will see the Son of Man coming in a cloud with power and great glory.
28
But when these things begin to happen, look up and lift up your heads, because your redemption is near."
-----
Daniel 6:12-28
12
Then they came near, and spoke before the king concerning the king's decree: "Haven't you signed a decree that every man who makes a petition to any god or man within thirty days, except to you, O king, shall be cast into the den of lions?"
The king answered, "This thing is true, according to the law of the Medes and Persians, which doesn't alter."
13
Then they answered and said before the king, "That Daniel, who is of the children of the captivity of Judah, doesn't respect you, O king, nor the decree that you have signed, but makes his petition three times a day."
14
Then the king, when he heard these words, was very displeased, and set his heart on Daniel to deliver him; and he labored until the going down of the sun to rescue him.
15
Then these men assembled together to the king, and said to the king, "Know, O king, that it is a law of the Medes and Persians, that no decree nor statute which the king establishes may be changed."
16
Then the king commanded, and they brought Daniel and cast him into the den of lions. The king spoke and said to Daniel, "Your God whom you serve continually, he will deliver you."
17
A stone was brought, and laid on the mouth of the den; and the king sealed it with his own signet, and with the signet of his lords; that nothing might be changed concerning Daniel.
18
Then the king went to his palace, and passed the night fasting. No musical instruments were brought before him; and his sleep fled from him.
19
Then the king arose very early in the morning, and went in haste to the den of lions.
20
When he came near to the den to Daniel, he cried with a troubled voice. The king spoke and said to Daniel, "Daniel, servant of the living God, is your God, whom you serve continually, able to deliver you from the lions?"
21
Then Daniel said to the king, "O king, live forever!
22
My God has sent his angel, and has shut the lions' mouths, and they have not hurt me, because innocence was found in me before him; and also before you, O king, I have done no harm."
23
Then the king was exceedingly glad, and commanded that they should take Daniel up out of the den. So Daniel was taken up out of the den, and no kind of harm was found on him, because he had trusted in his God.
24
The king commanded, and they brought those men who had accused Daniel, and they cast them into the den of lions?them, their children, and their wives; and the lions mauled them, and broke all their bones in pieces before they came to the bottom of the den.
25
Then King Darius wrote to all the peoples, nations, and languages who dwell in all the earth:
"Peace be multiplied to you.
26
"I make a decree that in all the dominion of my kingdom men tremble and fear before the God of Daniel.
"For he is the living God,
and steadfast forever.
His kingdom is that which will not be destroyed.
His dominion will be even to the end.
27
He delivers and rescues.
He works signs and wonders in heaven and in earth,
who has delivered Daniel from the power of the lions."
28
So this Daniel prospered in the reign of Darius and in the reign of Cyrus the Persian.

Have a good day!

Wednesday of the Thirty-fourth Week in Ordinary Time
-----
Gospel : Luke 21:12-19
12
But before all these things, they will lay their hands on you and will persecute you, delivering you up to synagogues and prisons, bringing you before kings and governors for my name's sake.
13
It will turn out as a testimony for you.
14
Settle it therefore in your hearts not to meditate beforehand how to answer,
15
for I will give you a mouth and wisdom which all your adversaries will not be able to withstand or to contradict.
16
You will be handed over even by parents, brothers, relatives, and friends. They will cause some of you to be put to death.
17
You will be hated by all men for my name's sake.
18
And not a hair of your head will perish.
19
"By your endurance you will win your lives.

Daniel 5:1-6, 13-14, 16-17, 23-28
1
Belshazzar the king made a great feast to a thousand of his lords, and drank wine before the thousand.
2
Belshazzar, while he tasted the wine, commanded that the golden and silver vessels which Nebuchadnezzar his father had taken out of the temple which was in Jerusalem be brought to him, that the king and his lords, his wives and his concubines, might drink from them.
3
Then they brought the golden vessels that were taken out of the temple of God's house which was at Jerusalem; and the king and his lords, his wives and his concubines, drank from them.
4
They drank wine, and praised the gods of gold, and of silver, of bronze, of iron, of wood, and of stone.
5
In the same hour, the fingers of a man's hand came out and wrote near the lamp stand on the plaster of the wall of the king's palace. The king saw the part of the hand that wrote.
6
Then the king's face was changed in him, and his thoughts troubled him; and the joints of his thighs were loosened, and his knees struck one against another.
13
Then Daniel was brought in before the king. The king spoke and said to Daniel, "Are you that Daniel of the children of the captivity of Judah, whom the king my father brought out of Judah?
14
I have heard of you, that the spirit of the gods is in you and that light, understanding, and excellent wisdom are found in you.
16
But I have heard of you, that you can give interpretations and dissolve doubts. Now if you can read the writing and make known to me its interpretation, you shall be clothed with purple, and have a chain of gold around your neck, and shall be the third ruler in the kingdom."
17
Then Daniel answered before the king, "Let your gifts be to yourself, and give your rewards to another. Nevertheless, I will read the writing to the king, and make known to him the interpretation.
23
but have lifted up yourself against the Lord of heaven; and they have brought the vessels of his house before you, and you and your lords, your wives, and your concubines, have drunk wine from them. You have praised the gods of silver and gold, of bronze, iron, wood, and stone, which don't see, or hear, or know; and you have not glorified the God in whose hand your breath is, and whose are all your ways.
24 Then the part of the hand was sent from before him, and this writing was inscribed.
25
"This is the writing that was inscribed: 'MENE, MENE, TEKEL, UPHARSIN.'
26
"This is the interpretation of the thing:
MENE: God has counted your kingdom, and brought it to an end.
27
TEKEL: you are weighed in the balances, and are found wanting.
28
PERES: your kingdom is divided, and given to the Medes and Persians."

Gospel : Luke 21:5-11
5
As some were talking about the temple and how it was decorated with beautiful stones and gifts, he said,
6
"As for these things which you see, the days will come in which there will not be left here one stone on another that will not be thrown down."
7
They asked him, "Teacher, so when will these things be? What is the sign that these things are about to happen?"
8
He said, "Watch out that you don't get led astray, for many will come in my name, saying, 'I am he,' and, 'The time is at hand.' Therefore don't follow them.
9
When you hear of wars and disturbances, don't be terrified, for these things must happen first, but the end won't come immediately."
10
Then he said to them, "Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom.
11
There will be great earthquakes, famines, and plagues in various places. There will be terrors and great signs from heaven.
-----
Daniel 2:31-45
31
"You, O king, saw, and behold,† a great image. This image, which was mighty, and whose brightness was excellent, stood before you; and its appearance was terrifying.
32
As for this image, its head was of fine gold, its chest and its arms of silver, its belly and its thighs of bronze,
33
its legs of iron, its feet part of iron and part of clay.
34
You saw until a stone was cut out without hands, which struck the image on its feet that were of iron and clay, and broke them in pieces.
35
Then the iron, the clay, the bronze, the silver, and the gold were broken in pieces together, and became like the chaff of the summer threshing floors. The wind carried them away, so that no place was found for them. The stone that struck the image became a great mountain and filled the whole earth.
36
"This is the dream; and we will tell its interpretation before the king.
37
You, O king, are king of kings, to whom the God of heaven has given the kingdom, the power, the strength, and the glory.
38
Wherever the children of men dwell, he has given the animals of the field and the birds of the sky into your hand, and has made you rule over them all. You are the head of gold.
39
"After you, another kingdom will arise that is inferior to you; and another third kingdom of bronze, which will rule over all the earth.
40
The fourth kingdom will be strong as iron, because iron breaks in pieces and subdues all things; and as iron that crushes all these, it will break in pieces and crush.
41
Whereas you saw the feet and toes, part of potters' clay and part of iron, it will be a divided kingdom; but there will be in it of the strength of the iron, because you saw the iron mixed with miry clay.
42
As the toes of the feet were part of iron, and part of clay, so the kingdom will be partly strong and partly brittle.
43
Whereas you saw the iron mixed with miry clay, they will mingle themselves with the seed of men; but they won't cling to one another, even as iron does not mix with clay.
44
"In the days of those kings the God of heaven will set up a kingdom which will never be destroyed, nor will its sovereignty be left to another people; but it will break in pieces and consume all these kingdoms, and it will stand forever.
45
Because you saw that a stone was cut out of the mountain without hands, and that it broke in pieces the iron, the bronze, the clay, the silver, and the gold, the great God has made known to the king what will happen hereafter. The dream is certain, and its interpretation sure."

Memorial of Saint Andrew Dung-Lac, Priest, and Companions, Martyrs

Gospel : Luke 21:1-4
1
He looked up and saw the rich people who were putting their gifts into the treasury.
2
He saw a certain poor widow casting in two small brass coins.
3
He said, "Truly I tell you, this poor widow put in more than all of them,
4
for all these put in gifts for God from their abundance, but she, out of her poverty, put in all that she had to live on."
-----
Daniel 1:1-6, 8-20
1
In the third year of the reign of Jehoiakim king of Judah, Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came to Jerusalem and besieged it.
2
The Lord gave Jehoiakim king of Judah into his hand, with some of the vessels of the house of God; and he carried them into the land of Shinar to the house of his god. He brought the vessels into the treasure house of his god.
3
The king spoke to Ashpenaz, the master of his eunuchs, that he should bring in some of the children of Israel, even of the royal offspring and of the nobles:
4
youths in whom was no defect, but well-favored, skillful in all wisdom, endowed with knowledge, understanding science, and who had the ability to stand in the king's palace; and that he should teach them the learning and the language of the Chaldeans.
5
The king appointed for them a daily portion of the king's delicacies and of the wine which he drank, and that they should be nourished three years, that at its end they should stand before the king.
6
Now among these of the children of Judah were Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah.
8
But Daniel purposed in his heart that he would not defile himself with the king's delicacies, nor with the wine which he drank. Therefore he requested of the prince of the eunuchs that he might not defile himself.
9
Now God made Daniel find kindness and compassion in the sight of the prince of the eunuchs.
10
The prince of the eunuchs said to Daniel, "I fear my lord the king, who has appointed your food and your drink. For why should he see your faces worse looking than the youths who are of your own age? Then you would endanger my head with the king."
11
Then Daniel said to the steward whom the prince of the eunuchs had appointed over Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah:
12
"Test your servants, I beg you, ten days; and let them give us vegetables to eat and water to drink.
13
Then let our faces be examined before you, and the face of the youths who eat of the king's delicacies; and as you see, deal with your servants." 14 So he listened to them in this matter, and tested them for ten days.
15
At the end of ten days, their faces appeared fairer and they were fatter in flesh than all the youths who ate of the king's delicacies.
16
So the steward took away their delicacies and the wine that they were given to drink, and gave them vegetables.
17
Now as for these four youths, God gave them knowledge and skill in all learning and wisdom; and Daniel had understanding in all visions and dreams.
18
At the end of the days which the king had appointed for bringing them in, the prince of the eunuchs brought them in before Nebuchadnezzar.
19 The king talked with them; and among them all was found no one like Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah. Therefore they stood before the king.
20 In every matter of wisdom and understanding concerning which the king inquired of them, he found them ten times better than all the magicians and enchanters who were in all his realm.

Gospel : Luke 23:35-43

An inscription was also written over him in letters of Greek, Latin, and Hebrew: "THIS IS THE KING OF THE JEWS."

But the other answered, and rebuking him said, "Don't you even fear God, seeing you are under the same condemnation?

And we indeed justly, for we receive the due reward for our deeds, but this man has done nothing wrong."
42
He said to Jesus, "Lord, remember me when you come into your Kingdom."

Colossians 1:12-20
12
giving thanks to the Father, who made us fit to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light,
13
who delivered us out of the power of darkness, and translated us into the Kingdom of the Son of his love,
14
in whom we have our redemption, the forgiveness of our sins.
15
He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation.
16
For by him all things were created in the heavens and on the earth, visible things and invisible things, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers. All things have been created through him and for him.
17
He is before all things, and in him all things are held together.
18
He is the head of the body, the assembly, who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, that in all things he might have the preeminence.
19
For all the fullness was pleased to dwell in him,
20
and through him to reconcile all things to himself by him, whether things on the earth or things in the heavens, having made peace through the blood of his cross.

Memorial of Saint Cecilia, Virgin and Martyr
-----
Gospel : Luke 20:27-40
27
Some of the Sadducees came to him, those who deny that there is a resurrection.
28
They asked him, "Teacher, Moses wrote to us that if a man's brother dies having a wife, and he is childless, his brother should take the wife and raise up children for his brother.
29
There were therefore seven brothers. The first took a wife, and died childless.
30
The second took her as wife, and he died childless.
31
The third took her, and likewise the seven all left no children, and died.
32
Afterward the woman also died. 33 Therefore in the resurrection whose wife of them will she be? For the seven had her as a wife."
34
Jesus said to them, "The children of this age marry and are given in marriage.
35
But those who are considered worthy to attain to that age and the resurrection from the dead neither marry nor are given in marriage.
36
For they can't die any more, for they are like the angels and are children of God, being children of the resurrection.
37
But that the dead are raised, even Moses showed at the bush, when he called the Lord 'The God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.'
38
Now he is not the God of the dead, but of the living, for all are alive to him."
39
Some of the scribes answered, "Teacher, you speak well."
40
They didn't dare to ask him any more questions.
-----
1 Maccabees 6:1-13 **
1
As King Antiochus passed through the eastern provinces, he heard that in Persia there was a city, Elam,* famous for its wealth in silver and gold,
2
and that its temple was very rich, containing gold helmets, breastplates, and weapons left there by the first king of the Greeks, Alexander, son of Philip, king of Macedon.
3
He went therefore and tried to capture and loot the city. But he could not do so, because his plan became known to the people of the city
4
who rose up in battle against him. So he fled and in great dismay withdrew from there to return to Babylon.
5
While he was in Persia, a messenger brought him news that the armies that had gone into the land of Judah had been routed;
6
that Lysias had gone at first with a strong army and been driven back; that the people of Judah had grown strong by reason of the arms, wealth, and abundant spoils taken from the armies they had cut down;
7
that they had pulled down the abomination which he had built upon the altar in Jerusalem; and that they had surrounded with high walls both the sanctuary, as it had been before, and his city of Beth-zur.
8
When the king heard this news, he was astonished and very much shaken. Sick with grief because his designs had failed, he took to his bed.
9
There he remained many days, assailed by waves of grief, for he thought he was going to die.
10
So he called in all his Friends and said to them: "Sleep has departed from my eyes, and my heart sinks from anxiety.
11
I said to myself: 'Into what tribulation have I come, and in what floods of sorrow am I now! Yet I was kindly and beloved in my rule.'
12
But I now recall the evils I did in Jerusalem, when I carried away all the vessels of silver and gold that were in it, and for no cause gave orders that the inhabitants of Judah be destroyed.
13
I know that this is why these evils have overtaken me; and now I am dying, in bitter grief, in a foreign land."

Memorial of the Presentation of the Blessed Virgin Mary

Gospel : Luke 19:45-48
45
He entered into the temple and began to drive out those who bought and sold in it,
46
saying to them, "It is written, 'My house is a house of prayer,' but you have made it a 'den of robbers'!"
47
He was teaching daily in the temple, but the chief priests, the scribes, and the leading men among the people sought to destroy him.
48
They couldn't find what they might do, for all the people hung on to every word that he said.

1 Maccabees 4:36-37, 52-59 **
Purification and Rededication of the Temple.
36
Then Judas and his brothers said, "Now that our enemies have been crushed, let us go up to purify the sanctuary* and rededicate it."
37
So the whole army assembled, and went up to Mount Zion.
52
They rose early on the morning of the twenty-fifth day of the ninth month, that is, the month of Kislev, in the year one hundred and forty-eight,
53
and offered sacrifice according to the law on the new altar for burnt offerings that they had made.
54
On the anniversary of the day on which the Gentiles had desecrated it, on that very day it was rededicated with songs, harps, lyres, and cymbals.
55
All the people prostrated themselves and adored and praised Heaven, who had given them success.
56
For eight days they celebrated the dedication of the altar and joyfully offered burnt offerings and sacrifices of deliverance and praise.
57
They ornamented the facade of the temple with gold crowns and shields; they repaired the gates and the priests' chambers and furnished them with doors.
58
There was great joy among the people now that the disgrace brought by the Gentiles was removed.
59
Then Judas and his brothers and the entire assembly of Israel decreed that every year for eight days, from the twenty-fifth day of the month Kislev, the days of the dedication of the altar should be observed with joy and gladness on the anniversary.

Thursday of the Thirty-third Week in Ordinary Time

Gospel : Luke 19:41-44
41
When he came near, he saw the city and wept over it,
42
saying, "If you, even you, had known today the things which belong to your peace! But now, they are hidden from your eyes.
43
For the days will come on you when your enemies will throw up a barricade against you, surround you, hem you in on every side,
44
and will dash you and your children within you to the ground. They will not leave in you one stone on another, because you didn't know the time of your visitation."
-----
1 Maccabees 2:15-29 **
15
The officers of the king in charge of enforcing the apostasy came to the city of Modein to make them sacrifice.
16
Many of Israel joined them, but Mattathias and his sons drew together.
17
Then the officers of the king addressed Mattathias: "You are a leader, an honorable and great man in this city, supported by sons and kindred.
18
Come now, be the first to obey the king's command, as all the Gentiles and Judeans and those who are left in Jerusalem have done. Then you and your sons shall be numbered among the King's Friends,* and you and your sons shall be honored with silver and gold and many gifts."
19
But Mattathias answered in a loud voice: "Although all the Gentiles in the king's realm obey him, so that they forsake the religion of their ancestors and consent to the king's orders,
20
yet I and my sons and my kindred will keep to the covenant of our ancestors.
21
Heaven forbid that we should forsake the law and the commandments.
22
We will not obey the words of the king by departing from our religion in the slightest degree."
23
As he finished saying these words, a certain Jew came forward in the sight of all to offer sacrifice on the altar in Modein according to the king's order.
24
When Mattathias saw him, he was filled with zeal; his heart was moved and his just fury was aroused; he sprang forward and killed him upon the altar.
25
At the same time, he also killed the messenger of the king who was forcing them to sacrifice, and he tore down the altar.
26
Thus he showed his zeal for the law, just as Phinehas did with Zimri, son of Salu.
27
Then Mattathias cried out in the city, "Let everyone who is zealous for the law and who stands by the covenant follow me!"
28
Then he and his sons fled to the mountains, leaving behind in the city all their possessions.
29
At that time many who sought righteousness and justice went out into the wilderness* to settle there,

Gospel : Luke 19:11-28
11
As they heard these things, he went on and told a parable, because he was near Jerusalem, and they supposed that God's Kingdom would be revealed immediately.
12
He said therefore, "A certain nobleman went into a far country to receive for himself a kingdom and to return.
13
He called ten servants of his and gave them ten mina coins, and told them, 'Conduct business until I come.'
14
But his citizens hated him, and sent an envoy after him, saying, 'We don't want this man to reign over us.'
15
"When he had come back again, having received the kingdom, he commanded these servants, to whom he had given the money, to be called to him, that he might know what they had gained by conducting business.
16
The first came before him, saying, 'Lord, your mina has made ten more minas.'
17
"He said to him, 'Well done, you good servant! Because you were found faithful with very little, you shall have authority over ten cities.'
18
"The second came, saying, 'Your mina, Lord, has made five minas.'
19
"So he said to him, 'And you are to be over five cities.'
20
Another came, saying, 'Lord, behold, your mina, which I kept laid away in a handkerchief,
21
for I feared you, because you are an exacting man. You take up that which you didn't lay down, and reap that which you didn't sow.'
22
"He said to him, 'Out of your own mouth I will judge you, you wicked servant! You knew that I am an exacting man, taking up that which I didn't lay down and reaping that which I didn't sow.
23
Then why didn't you deposit my money in the bank, and at my coming, I might have earned interest on it?'
24
He said to those who stood by, 'Take the mina away from him and give it to him who has the ten minas.'
25
"They said to him, 'Lord, he has ten minas!'
26
'For I tell you that to everyone who has, will more be given; but from him who doesn't have, even that which he has will be taken away from him.
27
But bring those enemies of mine who didn't want me to reign over them here, and kill them before me.' "
28
Having said these things, he went on ahead, going up to Jerusalem.

2 Maccabees 7:1, 20-31 **
Martyrdom of a Mother and Her Seven Sons.
1
It also happened that seven brothers with their mother were arrested and tortured with whips and scourges by the king to force them to eat pork in violation of God's law.
20
Most admirable and worthy of everlasting remembrance was the mother who, seeing her seven sons perish in a single day, bore it courageously because of her hope in the Lord.
21
Filled with a noble spirit that stirred her womanly reason with manly emotion, she exhorted each of them in the language of their ancestors with these words:
22
e "I do not know how you came to be in my womb; it was not I who gave you breath and life, nor was it I who arranged the elements you are made of.
23
Therefore, since it is the Creator of the universe who shaped the beginning of humankind and brought about the origin of everything, he, in his mercy, will give you back both breath and life, because you now disregard yourselves for the sake of his law."
24
Antiochus, suspecting insult in her words, thought he was being ridiculed. As the youngest brother was still alive, the king appealed to him, not with mere words, but with promises on oath, to make him rich and happy if he would abandon his ancestral customs: he would make him his Friend and entrust him with high office.
25
When the youth paid no attention to him at all, the king appealed to the mother, urging her to advise her boy to save his life.
26
After he had urged her for a long time, she agreed to persuade her son.
27
She leaned over close to him and, in derision of the cruel tyrant, said in their native language: "Son, have pity on me, who carried you in my womb for nine months, nursed you for three years, brought you up, educated and supported you to your present age.
28
I beg you, child, to look at the heavens and the earth and see all that is in them; then you will know that God did not make them out of existing things.* In the same way humankind came into existence.
29
Do not be afraid of this executioner, but be worthy of your brothers and accept death, so that in the time of mercy I may receive you again with your brothers."
30
She had scarcely finished speaking when the youth said: "What is the delay? I will not obey the king's command. I obey the command of the law given to our ancestors through Moses.
31
But you, who have contrived every kind of evil for the Hebrews, will not escape the hands of God.

Gospel : Luke 19:11-28
11
As they heard these things, he went on and told a parable, because he was near Jerusalem, and they supposed that God's Kingdom would be revealed immediately.
12
He said therefore, "A certain nobleman went into a far country to receive for himself a kingdom and to return.
13
He called ten servants of his and gave them ten mina coins, and told them, 'Conduct business until I come.'
14
But his citizens hated him, and sent an envoy after him, saying, 'We don't want this man to reign over us.'
15
"When he had come back again, having received the kingdom, he commanded these servants, to whom he had given the money, to be called to him, that he might know what they had gained by conducting business.
16
The first came before him, saying, 'Lord, your mina has made ten more minas.'
17
"He said to him, 'Well done, you good servant! Because you were found faithful with very little, you shall have authority over ten cities.'
18
"The second came, saying, 'Your mina, Lord, has made five minas.'
19
"So he said to him, 'And you are to be over five cities.'
20
Another came, saying, 'Lord, behold, your mina, which I kept laid away in a handkerchief,
21
for I feared you, because you are an exacting man. You take up that which you didn't lay down, and reap that which you didn't sow.'
22
"He said to him, 'Out of your own mouth I will judge you, you wicked servant! You knew that I am an exacting man, taking up that which I didn't lay down and reaping that which I didn't sow.
23
Then why didn't you deposit my money in the bank, and at my coming, I might have earned interest on it?'
24
He said to those who stood by, 'Take the mina away from him and give it to him who has the ten minas.'
25
"They said to him, 'Lord, he has ten minas!'
26
'For I tell you that to everyone who has, will more be given; but from him who doesn't have, even that which he has will be taken away from him.
27
But bring those enemies of mine who didn't want me to reign over them here, and kill them before me.' "
28
Having said these things, he went on ahead, going up to Jerusalem.

Today's Bible story *
November 18, 2025
Have a good day!
-----
Tuesday of the Thirty-third Week in Ordinary Time
-----
Gospel : Luke 19:1-10
1
He entered and was passing through Jericho.
2 There was a man named Zacchaeus. He was a chief tax collector, and he was rich.
3 He was trying to see who Jesus was, and couldn't because of the crowd, because he was short.
4 He ran on ahead and climbed up into a sycamore tree to see him, for he was going to pass that way.
5 When Jesus came to the place, he looked up and saw him, and said to him, "Zacchaeus, hurry and come down, for today I must stay at your house."
6 He hurried, came down, and received him joyfully.
7 When they saw it, they all murmured, saying, "He has gone in to lodge with a man who is a sinner."
8
Zacchaeus stood and said to the Lord, "Behold, Lord, half of my goods I give to the poor. If I have wrongfully exacted anything of anyone, I restore four times as much."
9
Jesus said to him, "Today, salvation has come to this house, because he also is a son of Abraham.
10
For the Son of Man came to seek and to save that which was lost."
-----
2 Maccabees 6:18-31 **
Martyrdom of Eleazar.
18
Eleazar, one of the foremost scribes, a man advanced in age and of noble appearance, was being forced to open his mouth to eat pork.
19
But preferring a glorious death to a life of defilement, he went forward of his own accord to the instrument of torture,
20
spitting out the meat as they should do who have the courage to reject food unlawful to taste even for love of life.
21
Those in charge of that unlawful sacrifice took the man aside, because of their long acquaintance with him, and privately urged him to bring his own provisions that he could legitimately eat, and only to pretend to eat the sacrificial meat prescribed by the king.
22
Thus he would escape death, and be treated kindly because of his old friendship with them.
23
But he made up his mind in a noble manner, worthy of his years, the dignity of his advanced age, the merited distinction of his gray hair, and of the admirable life he had lived from childhood. Above all loyal to the holy laws given by God, he swiftly declared, "Send me to Hades!"
24
"At our age it would be unbecoming to make such a pretense; many of the young would think the ninety-year-old Eleazar had gone over to an alien religion.
25
If I dissemble to gain a brief moment of life, they would be led astray by me, while I would bring defilement and dishonor on my old age.
26
Even if, for the time being, I avoid human punishment, I shall never, whether alive or dead, escape the hand of the Almighty.
27
Therefore, by bravely giving up life now, I will prove myself worthy of my old age,
28
and I will leave to the young a noble example of how to die willingly and nobly for the revered and holy laws."
He spoke thus, and went immediately to the instrument of torture.
29
Those who shortly before had been kindly disposed, now became hostile toward him because what he had said seemed to them utter madness.
30
When he was about to die under the blows, he groaned, saying: "The Lord in his holy knowledge knows full well that, although I could have escaped death, I am not only enduring terrible pain in my body from this scourging, but also suffering it with joy in my soul because of my devotion to him."
31
This is how he died, leaving in his death a model of nobility and an unforgettable example of virtue not only for the young but for the whole nation.

Gospel : Luke 18:35-43
35
As he came near Jericho, a certain blind man sat by the road, begging.
36
Hearing a multitude going by, he asked what this meant.
37
They told him that Jesus of Nazareth was passing by.
38
He cried out, "Jesus, you son of David, have mercy on me!"
39
Those who led the way rebuked him, that he should be quiet; but he cried out all the more, "You son of David, have mercy on me!"
40
Standing still, Jesus commanded him to be brought to him. When he had come near, he asked him,
41
"What do you want me to do?"
He said, "Lord, that I may see again."
42
Jesus said to him, "Receive your sight. Your faith has healed you."
43
Immediately he received his sight and followed him, glorifying God. All the people, when they saw it, praised God.
-----
1 Maccabees 1:10-15, 41-43, 54-57, 62-64＊＊
10
There sprang from these a sinful offshoot, Antiochus Epiphanes, son of King Antiochus, once a hostage at Rome. He became king in the one hundred and thirty-seventh year of the kingdom of the Greeks.
Lawless Jews.
11
In those days there appeared in Israel transgressors of the law who seduced many, saying: "Let us go and make a covenant with the Gentiles all around us; since we separated from them, many evils have come upon us."
12
The proposal was agreeable;
13
some from among the people promptly went to the king, and he authorized them to introduce the ordinances of the Gentiles.
14
Thereupon they built a gymnasium* in Jerusalem according to the Gentile custom.
15
They disguised their circumcision and abandoned the holy covenant; they allied themselves with the Gentiles and sold themselves to wrongdoing.
Religious Persecution.
41
g Then the king wrote to his whole kingdom that all should be one people,
42
and abandon their particular customs. All the Gentiles conformed to the command of the king,
43
and many Israelites delighted in his religion; they sacrificed to idols and profaned the sabbath.
54
On the fifteenth day of the month Kislev, in the year one hundred and forty-five, the king erected the desolating abomination upon the altar of burnt offerings, and in the surrounding cities of Judah they built pagan altars.
55
They also burned incense at the doors of houses and in the streets.
56
Any scrolls of the law* that they found they tore up and burned.
57
Whoever was found with a scroll of the covenant, and whoever observed the law, was condemned to death by royal decree.
62
But many in Israel were determined and resolved in their hearts not to eat anything unclean;
63
they preferred to die rather than to be defiled with food or to profane the holy covenant; and they did die.
64
And very great wrath came upon Israel.

5
As some were talking about the temple and how it was decorated with beautiful stones and gifts, he said,
6
"As for these things which you see, the days will come in which there will not be left here one stone on another that will not be thrown down."
7

8
He said, "Watch out that you don't get led astray, for many will come in my name, saying, 'I am he‡,' and, 'The time is at hand.' Therefore don't follow them.
9
When you hear of wars and disturbances, don't be terrified, for these things must happen first, but the end won't come immediately."
10
Then he said to them, "Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom.
11
There will be great earthquakes, famines, and plagues in various places. There will be terrors and great signs from heaven.

7
For you know how you ought to imitate us. For we didn't behave ourselves rebelliously among you,
8
neither did we eat bread from anyone's hand without paying for it, but in labor and travail worked night and day, that we might not burden any of you.
9
This was not because we don't have the right, but to make ourselves an example to you, that you should imitate us.
10
For even when we were with you, we commanded you this: "If anyone is not willing to work, don't let him eat."
11
For we hear of some who walk among you in rebellion, who don't work at all, but are busybodies.
12
Now those who are that way, we command and exhort in the Lord Jesus Christ, that they work with quietness and eat their own bread.

2 Thessalonians 3:7-12
7
For you know how you ought to imitate us. For we didn't behave ourselves rebelliously among you,
8
neither did we eat bread from anyone's hand without paying for it, but in labor and travail worked night and day, that we might not burden any of you.
9
This was not because we don't have the right, but to make ourselves an example to you, that you should imitate us.
10
For even when we were with you, we commanded you this: "If anyone is not willing to work, don't let him eat."
11
For we hear of some who walk among you in rebellion, who don't work at all, but are busybodies.
12
Now those who are that way, we command and exhort in the Lord Jesus Christ, that they work with quietness and eat their own bread.

Have a good day!

Saturday of the Thirty-second Week in Ordinary Time

Gospel : Luke 18:1-8
1
He also spoke a parable to them that they must always pray and not give up,
2
saying, "There was a judge in a certain city who didn't fear God and didn't respect man.
3
A widow was in that city, and she often came to him, saying, 'Defend me from my adversary!'
4
He wouldn't for a while; but afterward he said to himself, 'Though I neither fear God nor respect man,
5
yet because this widow bothers me, I will defend her, or else she will wear me out by her continual coming.' "
6
The Lord said, "Listen to what the unrighteous judge says.
7
Won't God avenge his chosen ones who are crying out to him day and night, and yet he exercises patience with them?
8
I tell you that he will avenge them quickly. Nevertheless, when the Son of Man comes, will he find faith on the earth?"
-----
Wisdom 18:14-16; 19:6-9 **
18:14
For when peaceful stillness encompassed everything
and the night in its swift course was half spent,
15
Your all-powerful word from heaven's royal throne
leapt into the doomed land,
16
a fierce warrior bearing the sharp sword of your inexorable decree,
And alighted, and filled every place with death,
and touched heaven, while standing upon the earth.
19:6
For all creation, in its several kinds, was being made over anew,
serving your commands, that your children might be preserved unharmed.
7
The cloud overshadowed their camp;
and out of what had been water, dry land was seen emerging:
Out of the Red Sea an unimpeded road,
and a grassy plain out of the mighty flood.
8
Over this crossed the whole nation sheltered by your hand,
and they beheld stupendous wonders.
9
For they ranged about like horses,
and leapt like lambs,
praising you, LORD, their deliverer.

Have a good day!
-----
Friday of the Thirty-second Week in Ordinary Time
-----
Gospel : Luke 17:26-37
26
As it was in the days of Noah, even so it will also be in the days of the Son of Man.
27
They ate, they drank, they married, and they were given in marriage until the day that Noah entered into the ship, and the flood came and destroyed them all.
28
Likewise, even as it was in the days of Lot: they ate, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they built;
29
but in the day that Lot went out from Sodom, it rained fire and sulfur from the sky and destroyed them all.
30 It will be the same way in the day that the Son of Man is revealed. 31 In that day, he who will be on the housetop and his goods in the house, let him not go down to take them away. Let him who is in the field likewise not turn back.
32
Remember Lot's wife!
33
Whoever seeks to save his life loses it, but whoever loses his life preserves it.
34
I tell you, in that night there will be two people in one bed. One will be taken and the other will be left.
35
There will be two grinding grain together. One will be taken and the other will be left."
36
(Some Greek manuscripts add: "Two will be in the field: the one taken, and the other left.")
37
They, answering, asked him, "Where, Lord?"
He said to them, "Where the body is, there the vultures will also be gathered together."
-----
Wisdom 13:1-9 **
1
Foolish by nature were all who were in ignorance of God,
and who from the good things seen did not succeed in knowing the one who is,
and from studying the works did not discern the artisan;
2
Instead either fire, or wind, or the swift air,
or the circuit of the stars, or the mighty water,
or the luminaries of heaven, the governors* of the world, they considered gods.
3
Now if out of joy in their beauty they thought them gods,
let them know how far more excellent is the Lord than these;
for the original source of beauty fashioned them.
4
Or if they were struck by their might and energy,
let them realize from these things how much more powerful is the one who made them.
5
For from the greatness and the beauty of created things
their original author, by analogy, is seen.
6
But yet, for these the blame is less;
For they have gone astray perhaps,
though they seek God and wish to find him.
7
For they search busily among his works,
but are distracted by what they see, because the things seen are fair.
8
But again, not even these are pardonable.
9
For if they so far succeeded in knowledge
that they could speculate about the world,
how did they not more quickly find its Lord?

Memorial of Saint Frances Xavier Cabrini, Virgin
[In the Dioceses of the United States]
-----
Gospel : Luke 17:20-25
20
Being asked by the Pharisees when God's Kingdom would come, he answered them, "God's Kingdom doesn't come with observation;
21
neither will they say, 'Look, here!' or, 'Look, there!' for behold, God's Kingdom is within you."
22
He said to the disciples, "The days will come when you will desire to see one of the days of the Son of Man, and you will not see it.
23
They will tell you, 'Look, here!' or 'Look, there!' Don't go away or follow after them,
24
for as the lightning, when it flashes out of one part under the sky, shines to another part under the sky, so will the Son of Man be in his day.
25
But first, he must suffer many things and be rejected by this generation.
-----
Wisdom 7:22b--8:1
7:22b
Nature and Incomparable Dignity of Wisdom
For in her is a spirit
intelligent, holy, unique,
Manifold, subtle, agile,
clear, unstained, certain,
Never harmful, loving the good, keen,
23
unhampered, beneficent, kindly,
Firm, secure, tranquil,
all-powerful, all-seeing,
And pervading all spirits,
though they be intelligent, pure and very subtle.
24
For Wisdom is mobile beyond all motion,
and she penetrates and pervades all things by reason of her purity.
25
* For she is a breath of the might of God
and a pure emanation of the glory of the Almighty;
therefore nothing defiled can enter into her.
26
For she is the reflection of eternal light,
the spotless mirror of the power of God,
the image of his goodness.
27
Although she is one, she can do all things,
and she renews everything while herself perduring;
Passing into holy souls from age to age,
she produces friends of God and prophets.
28
For God loves nothing so much as the one who dwells with Wisdom.
29
For she is fairer than the suno
and surpasses every constellation of the stars.
Compared to light, she is found more radiant;
30
though night supplants light,
wickedness does not prevail over Wisdom.

Memorial of Saint Josaphat, Bishop and Martyr
-----
Gospel : Luke 17:11-19
11
As he was on his way to Jerusalem, he was passing along the borders of Samaria and Galilee.
12
As he entered into a certain village, ten men who were lepers met him, who stood at a distance.
13
They lifted up their voices, saying, "Jesus, Master, have mercy on us!"
14
When he saw them, he said to them, "Go and show yourselves to the priests." As they went, they were cleansed.
15
One of them, when he saw that he was healed, turned back, glorifying God with a loud voice.
16
He fell on his face at Jesus' feet, giving him thanks; and he was a Samaritan.
17
Jesus answered, "Weren't the ten cleansed? But where are the nine?
18
Were there none found who returned to give glory to God, except this foreigner?"
19
Then he said to him, "Get up, and go your way. Your faith has healed you."

Wisdom 6:1-11 **
1
Hear, therefore, kings, and understand;
learn, you magistrates* of the earth's expanse!
2
Give ear, you who have power over multitudes
and lord it over throngs of peoples!
3
Because authority was given you by the Lord
and sovereignty by the Most High,
who shall probe your works and scrutinize your counsels!
4
Because, though you were ministers of his kingdom, you did not judge rightly,
and did not keep the law,
nor walk according to the will of God,
5
Terribly and swiftly he shall come against you,
because severe judgment awaits the exalted?
6
For the lowly may be pardoned out of mercyc
but the mighty shall be mightily put to the test.
7
For the Ruler of all shows no partiality,
nor does he fear greatness,
Because he himself made the great as well as the small,
and provides for all alike;
8
but for those in power a rigorous scrutiny impends.
9
To you, therefore, O princes, are my words addressede
that you may learn wisdom and that you may not fall away.
10
For those who keep the holy precepts hallowed will be found holy,
and those learned in them will have ready a response.
11
Desire therefore my words;
long for them and you will be instructed.

Memorial of Saint Martin of Tours, Bishop
-----
Gospel : Luke 17:7-10
7 But who is there among you, having a servant plowing or keeping sheep, that will say when he comes in from the field, 'Come immediately and sit down at the table'?
8 Wouldn't he rather tell him, 'Prepare my supper, clothe yourself properly, and serve me while I eat and drink. Afterward you shall eat and drink'?
9 Does he thank that servant because he did the things that were commanded? I think not.
10 Even so you also, when you have done all the things that are commanded you, say, 'We are unworthy servants. We have done our duty.' "
-----
Wisdom 2:23--3:9 **
2:23
For God formed us to be imperishable;
the image of his own nature he made us.
24
But by the envy* of the devil, death entered the world,
and they who are allied with him experience it.
3:1
The souls of the righteous are in the hand of God,
and no torment shall touch them.
2
They seemed, in the view of the foolish, to be dead;
and their passing away was thought an affliction
3
and their going forth from us, utter destruction.
But they are in peace.
4
For if to others, indeed, they seem punished,
yet is their hope full of immortality;
5
Chastised a little, they shall be greatly blessed,
because God tried them
and found them worthy of himself.
6
As gold in the furnace, he proved them,
and as sacrificial offerings* he took them to himself.
7
In the time of their judgment* they shall shine
and dart about as sparks through stubble;
8
They shall judge nations and rule over peoples,
and the LORD shall be their King forever.
9
Those who trust in him shall understand truth,
and the faithful shall abide with him in love:
Because grace and mercy are with his holy ones,
and his care is with the elect.

7 But who is there among you, having a servant plowing or keeping sheep, that will say when he comes in from the field, 'Come immediately and sit down at the table'?
8 Wouldn't he rather tell him, 'Prepare my supper, clothe yourself properly, and serve me while I eat and drink. Afterward you shall eat and drink'?
9 Does he thank that servant because he did the things that were commanded? I think not.
10 Even so you also, when you have done all the things that are commanded you, say, 'We are unworthy servants. We have done our duty.' "

Wisdom 2:23--3:9 **
2:23
For God formed us to be imperishable;
the image of his own nature he made us.
24
But by the envy* of the devil, death entered the world,
and they who are allied with him experience it.
3:1
The souls of the righteous are in the hand of God,
and no torment shall touch them.
2
They seemed, in the view of the foolish, to be dead;
and their passing away was thought an affliction
3
and their going forth from us, utter destruction.
But they are in peace.
4
For if to others, indeed, they seem punished,
yet is their hope full of immortality;
5
Chastised a little, they shall be greatly blessed,
because God tried them
and found them worthy of himself.
6
As gold in the furnace, he proved them,
and as sacrificial offerings* he took them to himself.
7
In the time of their judgment* they shall shine
and dart about as sparks through stubble;
8
They shall judge nations and rule over peoples,
and the LORD shall be their King forever.
9
Those who trust in him shall understand truth,
and the faithful shall abide with him in love:
Because grace and mercy are with his holy ones,
and his care is with the elect.
** Wisdom 2:23--

Gospel : Luke 17:1-6
1
He said to the disciples, "It is impossible that no occasions of stumbling should come, but woe to him through whom they come!
2 It would be better for him if a millstone were hung around his neck, and he were thrown into the sea, rather than that he should cause one of these little ones to stumble.
3 Be careful. If your brother sins against you, rebuke him. If he repents, forgive him.
4 If he sins against you seven times in the day, and seven times returns, saying, 'I repent,' you shall forgive him."
5
The apostles said to the Lord, "Increase our faith."
6
The Lord said, "If you had faith like a grain of mustard seed, you would tell this sycamore tree, 'Be uprooted and be planted in the sea,' and it would obey you.
-----
Wisdom 1:1-7＊＊
1
Love righteousness, you who judge the earth;
think of the LORD in goodness,
and seek him in integrity of heart;
2
Because he is found by those who do not test him,
and manifests himself to those who do not disbelieve him.
3
For perverse counsels separate people from God,
and his power, put to the proof, rebukes the foolhardy;
4
Because into a soul that plots evil wisdom does not enter,
nor does she dwell in a body under debt of sin.
5
For the holy spirit of discipline* flees deceit
and withdraws from senseless counsels
and is rebuked when unrighteousness occurs.
6
For wisdom is a kindly spirit,
yet she does not acquit blasphemous lips;
Because God is the witness of the inmost self
and the sure observer of the heart
and the listener to the tongue.
7
For the spirit of the LORD fills the world,
is all-embracing, and knows whatever is said.

Feast of the Dedication of the Lateran Basilica in Rome
-----
Gospel : John 2:13-22
13
The Passover of the Jews was at hand, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.
14
He found in the temple those who sold oxen, sheep, and doves, and the changers of money sitting.
15
He made a whip of cords and drove all out of the temple, both the sheep and the oxen; and he poured out the changers' money and overthrew their tables.
16
To those who sold the doves, he said, "Take these things out of here! Don't make my Father's house a marketplace!"
17
His disciples remembered that it was written, "Zeal for your house will eat me up."
18
The Jews therefore answered him, "What sign do you show us, seeing that you do these things?"
19
Jesus answered them, "Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up."
20
The Jews therefore said, "It took forty-six years to build this temple! Will you raise it up in three days?"
21
But he spoke of the temple of his body. 22 When therefore he was raised from the dead, his disciples remembered that he said this, and they believed the Scripture and the word which Jesus had said.
-----
Ezekiel 47:1-2, 8-9, 12
1
He brought me back to the door of the temple; and behold, waters flowed out from under the threshold of the temple eastward, for the front of the temple faced toward the east. The waters came down from underneath, from the right side of the temple, on the south of the altar.
2
Then he brought me out by the way of the gate northward, and led me around by the way outside to the outer gate, by the way of the gate that looks toward the east. Behold, waters ran out on the right side.
8
Then he said to me, "These waters flow out toward the eastern region and will go down into the Arabah. Then they will go toward the sea and flow into the sea which will be made to flow out; and the waters will be healed.
9 It will happen that every living creature which swarms, in every place where the rivers come, will live. Then there will be a very great multitude of fish; for these waters have come there, and the waters of the sea will be healed, and everything will live wherever the river comes.
12
By the river banks, on both sides, will grow every tree for food, whose leaf won't wither, neither will its fruit fail. It will produce new fruit every month, because its waters issue out of the sanctuary. Its fruit will be for food, and its leaf for healing."
-----
1 Corinthians 3:9c-11, 16-17
9c
You are God's building.
10
According to the grace of God which was given to me, as a wise master builder I laid a foundation, and another builds on it. But let each man be careful how he builds on it.
11 For no one can lay any other foundation than that which has been laid, which is Jesus Christ.
16
Don't you know that you are God's temple and that God's Spirit lives in you?
17
If anyone destroys God's temple, God will destroy him; for God's temple is holy, which you are.

Gospel : Luke 16:9-15
9
I tell you, make for yourselves friends by means of unrighteous mammon, so that when you fail, they may receive you into the eternal tents.
10
He who is faithful in a very little is faithful also in much. He who is dishonest in a very little is also dishonest in much.
11
If therefore you have not been faithful in the unrighteous mammon, who will commit to your trust the true riches?
12
If you have not been faithful in that which is another's, who will give you that which is your own?
13
No servant can serve two masters, for either he will hate the one and love the other; or else he will hold to one and despise the other. You aren't able to serve God and Mammon."
14
The Pharisees, who were lovers of money, also heard all these things, and they scoffed at him.
15
He said to them, "You are those who justify yourselves in the sight of men, but God knows your hearts. For that which is exalted among men is an abomination in the sight of God.

25(14:24)**
Now to him who is able to establish you according to my Good News and the preaching of Jesus Christ, according to the revelation of the mystery which has been kept secret through long ages,
26(14:25)
but now is revealed, and by the Scriptures of the prophets, according to the commandment of the eternal God, is made known for obedience of faith to all the nations;

Gospel : Luke 16:1-8
1
He also said to his disciples, "There was a certain rich man who had a manager. An accusation was made to him that this man was wasting his possessions.
2
He called him, and said to him, 'What is this that I hear about you? Give an accounting of your management, for you can no longer be manager.'
3
"The manager said within himself, 'What will I do, seeing that my lord is taking away the management position from me? I don't have strength to dig. I am ashamed to beg.
4
I know what I will do, so that when I am removed from management, they may receive me into their houses.'
5
Calling each one of his lord's debtors to him, he said to the first, 'How much do you owe to my lord?'
6 He said, 'A hundred batos† of oil.' He said to him, 'Take your bill, and sit down quickly and write fifty.'
7 Then he said to another, 'How much do you owe?' He said, 'A hundred cors‡ of wheat.' He said to him, 'Take your bill, and write eighty.'
8
"His lord commended the dishonest manager because he had done wisely, for the children of this world are, in their own generation, wiser than the children of the light.

Romans 15:14-21
14
I myself am also persuaded about you, my brothers, that you yourselves are full of goodness, filled with all knowledge, able also to admonish others.
15
But I write the more boldly to you in part as reminding you, because of the grace that was given to me by God,
16
that I should be a servant of Christ Jesus to the Gentiles, serving as a priest of the Good News of God, that the offering up of the Gentiles might be made acceptable, sanctified by the Holy Spirit.
17
I have therefore my boasting in Christ Jesus in things pertaining to God.
18
For I will not dare to speak of any things except those which Christ worked through me for the obedience of the Gentiles, by word and deed,
19
in the power of signs and wonders, in the power of God's Spirit; so that from Jerusalem and around as far as to Illyricum, I have fully preached the Good News of Christ;
20
yes, making it my aim to preach the Good News, not where Christ was already named, that I might not build on another's foundation.
21 But, as it is written,
"They will see, to whom no news of him came.
They who haven't heard will understand."

Thursday of the Thirty-first Week in Ordinary Time
-----
Gospel : Luke 15:1-10
1
Now all the tax collectors and sinners were coming close to him to hear him.
2
The Pharisees and the scribes murmured, saying, "This man welcomes sinners, and eats with them."
3
He told them this parable:
4
"Which of you men, if you had one hundred sheep and lost one of them, wouldn't leave the ninety-nine in the wilderness and go after the one that was lost, until he found it?
5
When he has found it, he carries it on his shoulders, rejoicing.
6
When he comes home, he calls together his friends and his neighbors, saying to them, 'Rejoice with me, for I have found my sheep which was lost!'
7
I tell you that even so there will be more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents, than over ninety-nine righteous people who need no repentance.
8
"Or what woman, if she had ten drachma coins, if she lost one drachma coin, wouldn't light a lamp, sweep the house, and seek diligently until she found it?
9
When she has found it, she calls together her friends and neighbors, saying, 'Rejoice with me, for I have found the drachma which I had lost!'
10
Even so, I tell you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner repenting."
-----
Romans 14:7-12
7
For none of us lives to himself, and none dies to himself.
8
For if we live, we live to the Lord. Or if we die, we die to the Lord. If therefore we live or die, we are the Lord's.
9
For to this end Christ died, rose, and lived again, that he might be Lord of both the dead and the living.
10
But you, why do you judge your brother? Or you again, why do you despise your brother? For we will all stand before the judgment seat of Christ.
11
For it is written,
" 'As I live,' says the Lord, 'to me every knee will bow.
Every tongue will confess to God.' "
12
So then each one of us will give account of himself to God.

Gospel : Luke 15:1-10
1
Now all the tax collectors and sinners were coming close to him to hear him.
2
The Pharisees and the scribes murmured, saying, "This man welcomes sinners, and eats with them."
3
He told them this parable:
4
"Which of you men, if you had one hundred sheep and lost one of them, wouldn't leave the ninety-nine in the wilderness and go after the one that was lost, until he found it?
5
When he has found it, he carries it on his shoulders, rejoicing.
6
When he comes home, he calls together his friends and his neighbors, saying to them, 'Rejoice with me, for I have found my sheep which was lost!'
7
I tell you that even so there will be more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents, than over ninety-nine righteous people who need no repentance.
8
"Or what woman, if she had ten drachma coins, if she lost one drachma coin, wouldn't light a lamp, sweep the house, and seek diligently until she found it?
9
When she has found it, she calls together her friends and neighbors, saying, 'Rejoice with me, for I have found the drachma which I had lost!'
10
Even so, I tell you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner repenting."
-----
Romans 14:7-12
7
For none of us lives to himself, and none dies to himself.
8
For if we live, we live to the Lord. Or if we die, we die to the Lord. If therefore we live or die, we are the Lord's.
9
For to this end Christ died, rose, and lived again, that he might be Lord of both the dead and the living.
10
But you, why do you judge your brother? Or you again, why do you despise your brother? For we will all stand before the judgment seat of Christ.
11
For it is written,
" 'As I live,' says the Lord, 'to me every knee will bow.
Every tongue will confess to God.' "
12
So then each one of us will give account of himself to God.

Wednesday of the Thirty-first Week in Ordinary Time
-----
Gospel : Luke 14:25-33
25
Now great multitudes were going with him. He turned and said to them,
26 "If anyone comes to me, and doesn't disregard his own father, mother, wife, children, brothers, and sisters, yes, and his own life also, he can't be my disciple.
27
Whoever doesn't bear his own cross and come after me, can't be my disciple.
28
For which of you, desiring to build a tower, doesn't first sit down and count the cost, to see if he has enough to complete it?
29
Or perhaps, when he has laid a foundation and isn't able to finish, everyone who sees begins to mock him,
30
saying, 'This man began to build and wasn't able to finish.'
31
Or what king, as he goes to encounter another king in war, will not sit down first and consider whether he is able with ten thousand to meet him who comes against him with twenty thousand?
32
Or else, while the other is yet a great way off, he sends an envoy and asks for conditions of peace. 33 So therefore, whoever of you who doesn't renounce all that he has, he can't be my disciple.
-----
Romans 13:8-10
8
Owe no one anything, except to love one another; for he who loves his neighbor has fulfilled the law.
9
For the commandments, "You shall not commit adultery," "You shall not murder," "You shall not steal," "You shall not covet," and whatever other commandments there are, are all summed up in this saying, namely, "You shall love your neighbor as yourself."
10
Love doesn't harm a neighbor. Love therefore is the fulfillment of the law.

Memorial of Saint Charles Borromeo, Bishop
-----
Gospel : Luke 14:15-24
15
When one of those who sat at the table with him heard these things, he said to him, "Blessed is he who will feast in God's Kingdom!"
16
But he said to him, "A certain man made a great supper, and he invited many people.
17
He sent out his servant at supper time to tell those who were invited, 'Come, for everything is ready now.'
18
They all as one began to make excuses.
"The first said to him, 'I have bought a field, and I must go and see it. Please have me excused.'
19
"Another said, 'I have bought five yoke of oxen, and I must go try them out. Please have me excused.'
20
"Another said, 'I have married a wife, and therefore I can't come.'
21
"That servant came, and told his lord these things. Then the master of the house, being angry, said to his servant, 'Go out quickly into the streets and lanes of the city, and bring in the poor, maimed, blind, and lame.'
22
"The servant said, 'Lord, it is done as you commanded, and there is still room.'
23
"The lord said to the servant, 'Go out into the highways and hedges, and compel them to come in, that my house may be filled.
24
For I tell you that none of those men who were invited will taste of my supper. For many are called, but few are chosen.' "
-----
Romans 12:5-16ab
5
so we, who are many, are one body in Christ, and individually members of one another,
6
having gifts differing according to the grace that was given to us: if prophecy, let's prophesy according to the proportion of our faith;
7
or service, let's give ourselves to service; or he who teaches, to his teaching;
8
or he who exhorts, to his exhorting; he who gives, let him do it with generosity; he who rules, with diligence; he who shows mercy, with cheerfulness.
9
Let love be without hypocrisy. Abhor that which is evil. Cling to that which is good.
10
In love of the brothers be tenderly affectionate to one another; in honor prefer one another,
11
not lagging in diligence, fervent in spirit, serving the Lord,
12
rejoicing in hope, enduring in troubles, continuing steadfastly in prayer,
13
contributing to the needs of the saints, and given to hospitality.
14
Bless those who persecute you; bless, and don't curse.
15
Rejoice with those who rejoice. Weep with those who weep.
16ab
Be of the same mind one toward another. Don't set your mind on high things, but associate with the humble.

Monday of the Thirty-first Week in Ordinary Time

Gospel : Luke 14:12-14
12
He also said to the one who had invited him, "When you make a dinner or a supper, don't call your friends, nor your brothers, nor your kinsmen, nor rich neighbors, or perhaps they might also return the favor, and pay you back.
13
But when you make a feast, ask the poor, the maimed, the lame, or the blind;
14
and you will be blessed, because they don't have the resources to repay you. For you will be repaid in the resurrection of the righteous."
-----
Romans 11:29-36
29
For the gifts and the calling of God are irrevocable.
30
For as you in time past were disobedient to God, but now have obtained mercy by their disobedience,
31
even so these also have now been disobedient, that by the mercy shown to you they may also obtain mercy.
32
For God has bound all to disobedience, that he might have mercy on all.
33
Oh the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and the knowledge of God! How unsearchable are his judgments, and his ways past tracing out!
34
"For who has known the mind of the Lord?
Or who has been his counselor?"
35
"Or who has first given to him,
and it will be repaid to him again?"
36
For of him and through him and to him are all things. To him be the glory for ever! Amen.

The Commemoration of All the Faithful Departed
(All Souls)
-----
Gospel : John 6:37-40
37
All those whom the Father gives me will come to me. He who comes to me I will in no way throw out.
38
For I have come down from heaven, not to do my own will, but the will of him who sent me.
39
This is the will of my Father who sent me, that of all he has given to me I should lose nothing, but should raise him up at the last day.
40
This is the will of the one who sent me, that everyone who sees the Son and believes in him should have eternal life; and I will raise him up at the last day."
-----
Wisdom 3:1-9＊＊
1
The souls of the righteous are in the hand of God,
and no torment shall touch them.
2
They seemed, in the view of the foolish, to be dead;
and their passing away was thought an affliction
3
and their going forth from us, utter destruction.
But they are in peace.
4
For if to others, indeed, they seem punished,
yet is their hope full of immortality;
5
Chastised a little, they shall be greatly blessed,
because God tried them
and found them worthy of himself.
6
As gold in the furnace, he proved them,
and as sacrificial offerings* he took them to himself.
7
In the time of their judgment* they shall shine
and dart about as sparks through stubble;
8
They shall judge nations and rule over peoples,
and the LORD shall be their King forever.
9
Those who trust in him shall understand truth,
and the faithful shall abide with him in love:
Because grace and mercy are with his holy ones,
and his care is with the elect.
＊＊Wisdom 3:1-9

-----
Romans 5:5-11
5
and hope doesn't disappoint us, because God's love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit who was given to us.
6
For while we were yet weak, at the right time Christ died for the ungodly.
7
For one will hardly die for a righteous man. Yet perhaps for a good person someone would even dare to die.
8
But God commends his own love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.
9
Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we will be saved from God's wrath through him.
10
For if while we were enemies, we were reconciled to God through the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we will be saved by his life.
11
Not only so, but we also rejoice in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received the reconciliation.
