Alleluia: John 8: 31b-32
Gospel: Luke 14: 12-14
First Reading: Philippians 2: 1-4
1 If there be therefore any consolation in Christ, if any comfort of charity, if any society of the spirit, if any bowels of commiseration:
2 Fulfill ye my joy, that you may be of one mind, having the same charity, being of one accord, agreeing in sentiment.
3 Let nothing be done through contention, neither by vain glory: but in humility, let each esteem others better than themselves:
4 Each one not considering the things that are his own, but those that are other men’s.
Responsorial Psalm: Psalms 131: 1bcde, 2, 3
R. In you, O Lord, I have found my peace.
1 Lord, my heart is not exalted: nor are my eyes lofty. Neither have I walked in great matters, nor in wonderful things above me.
R. In you, O Lord, I have found my peace.
2 If I was not humbly minded, but exalted my soul: As a child that is weaned is towards his mother, so reward in my soul.
R. In you, O Lord, I have found my peace.
3 Let Israel hope in the Lord, from henceforth now and for ever.
R. In you, O Lord, I have found my peace.
Alleluia: John 8: 31b-32
R. Alleluia, alleluia.
31b-32 If you remain in my word, you will truly be my disciples, and you will know the truth, says the Lord.
R. Alleluia, alleluia.
Gospel: Luke 14: 12-14
12 And he said to him also that had invited him: When thou makest a dinner or a supper, call not thy friends, nor thy brethren, nor thy kinsmen, nor thy neighbours who are rich; lest perhaps they also invite thee again, and a recompense be made to thee.
13 But when thou makest a feast, call the poor, the maimed, the lame, and the blind;
14 And thou shalt be blessed, because they have not wherewith to make thee recompense: for recompense shall be made thee at the resurrection of the just.
