First Reading: Titus 2:1-8.11-14

A reading from the Letter of Saint Paul to Titus.

Beloved:

Teach what befits sound doctrine.
Bid the older men be temperate,
serious, sensible,
sound in faith, in love, and in steadfastness.
Bid the older women likewise to be reverent in behaviour,
not to be slanderers or slaves to drink;
they are to teach what is good,
and so train the young women
to love their husbands and children,
to be sensible, chaste, domestic, kind,
and submissive to their husbands,
that the word of God may not be discredited.
Likewise, urge the younger men to control themselves.
Show yourself in all respects a model of good deeds,
and in your teaching show integrity, gravity,
and sound speech that cannot be censured,
so that an opponent may be put to shame,
having nothing evil to say of us.

For the grace of God has appeared
for the salvation of all people,
training us to renounce irreligion and worldly passions,
and to live sober, upright, and godly lives in this world,
awaiting our blessed hope,
the appearing of the glory
of our great God and Saviour Jesus Christ,
who gave himself for us
to redeem us from all iniquity
and to purify for himself a people of his own
who are zealous for good deeds.

The Word of the Lord.

 

Responsorial Psalm: Psalm 37:3-4.18 & 23.27 & 29 (R. 39a)

Let us now pray the Responsorial Psalm

R/. From the Lord comes the salvation of the just.

Trust in the Lord and do good;
then you will dwell in the land and safely pasture.
Find your delight in the Lord,
who grants your heart’s desire.

The Lord takes note of the days of the blameless;
their heritage will last forever.
By the Lord are the steps made firm
of one in whose path He delights.

Then turn away from evil and do good,
and you may abide forever;
The just shall inherit the land;
there they shall abide forever.

R/. From the Lord comes the salvation of the just.

 

Alleluia, Alleluia.
if a man loves me, he will keep my word, says the Lord; and my Father will love him, and we will come to him.
Alleluia.

 

Gospel: Luke 17:7-10

A reading from the Holy Gospel according to Luke.

At that time:
Jesus said,
“Will any one of you,
who has a servant ploughing or keeping sheep,
say to him when he has come in from the field,
‘Come at once and sit down at table’?
Will he not rather say to him,
‘Prepare supper for me,
and gird yourself and serve me,
till I eat and drink;
and afterward you shall eat and drink’?
Does he thank the servant
because he did what was commanded?
So you also,
when you have done all that is commanded you,
say, ‘We are unworthy servants;
we have only done what was our duty.’”

The Gospel of the Lord.
