  FIRST LECTURE OF THE MASS

  Philippians 2:5-11

  5Have this mind among yourselves, which is yours in Christ Jesus, 6who, though he was in the form of God, did not count equality with God a thing to be grasped, 7but emptied himself, taking the form of a servant, being born in the likeness of men. 8And being found in human form he humbled himself and became obedient unto death, even death on a cross. 9Therefore God has highly exalted him and bestowed on him the name which is above every name, 10that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, 11and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

  RESPONSORIAL PSALM

  Psalms 22:26-32

  25From thee comes my praise in the great congregation; my vows I will pay before those who fear him. 26The afflicted shall eat and be satisfied; those who seek him shall praise the LORD! May your hearts live for ever! 27All the ends of the earth shall remember and turn to the LORD; and all the families of the nations shall worship before him. 28For dominion belongs to the LORD, and he rules over the nations. 29Yea, to him shall all the proud of the earth bow down; before him shall bow all who go down to the dust, and he who cannot keep himself alive. 30Posterity shall serve him; men shall tell of the Lord to the coming generation, 31and proclaim his deliverance to a people yet unborn, that he has wrought it.

  GOSPEL OF THE MASS

  Luke 14:15-24

  15When one of those who sat at table with him heard this, he said to him, "Blessed is he who shall eat bread in the kingdom of God!" 16But he said to him, "A man once gave a great banquet, and invited many; 17and at the time for the banquet he sent his servant to say to those who had been invited, `Come; for all is now ready.' 18But they all alike began to make excuses. The first said to him, `I have bought a field, and I must go out and see it; I pray you, have me excused.' 19And another said, `I have bought five yoke of oxen, and I go to examine them; I pray you, have me excused.' 20And another said, `I have married a wife, and therefore I cannot come.' 21So the servant came and reported this to his master. Then the householder in anger said to his servant, `Go out quickly to the streets and lanes of the city, and bring in the poor and maimed and blind and lame.' 22And the servant said, `Sir, what you commanded has been done, and still there is room.' 23And the master said to the servant, `Go out to the highways and hedges, and compel people to come in, that my house may be filled. 24For I tell you, none of those men who were invited shall taste my banquet.'"

  FIRST LECTURE OF THE MASS

  Phil 1:18b-26

  Brothers and sisters:
  As long as in every way, whether in pretense or in truth,
  Christ is being proclaimed, and in that I rejoice.
  
  Indeed I shall continue to rejoice,
  for I know that this will result in deliverance for me
  through your prayers and support from the Spirit of Jesus Christ.
  My eager expectation and hope
  is that I shall not be put to shame in any way,
  but that with all boldness, now as always,
  Christ will be magnified in my body,
  whether by life or by death.
  For to me life is Christ, and death is gain.
  If I go on living in the flesh, that means fruitful labor for me.
  And I do not know which I shall choose.
  I am caught between the two.
  I long to depart this life and be with Christ,
  for that is far better.
  Yet that I remain in the flesh is more necessary for your benefit.
  And this I know with confidence,
  that I shall remain and continue in the service of all of you
  for your progress and joy in the faith,
  so that your boasting in Christ Jesus may abound on account of me
  when I come to you again.

  RESPONSORIAL PSALM

  Ps 42:2, 3, 5cdef

  R. My soul is thirsting for the living God.
  As the hind longs for the running waters,
  so my soul longs for you, O God.
  R. My soul is thirsting for the living God.
  Athirst is my soul for God, the living God.
  When shall I go and behold the face of God?
  R. My soul is thirsting for the living God.
  I went with the throng
  and led them in procession to the house of God.
  Amid loud cries of joy and thanksgiving,
  with the multitude keeping festival.
  R. My soul is thirsting for the living God.
  
  

  GOSPEL OF THE MASS

  Lk 14:1, 7-11

  On a sabbath Jesus went to dine
  at the home of one of the leading Pharisees,
  and the people there were observing him carefully.
  
  He told a parable to those who had been invited,
  noticing how they were choosing the places of honor at the table.
  "When you are invited by someone to a wedding banquet,
  do not recline at table in the place of honor.
  A more distinguished guest than you may have been invited by him,
  and the host who invited both of you may approach you and say,
  'Give your place to this man,'
  and then you would proceed with embarrassment
  to take the lowest place.
  Rather, when you are invited,
  go and take the lowest place
  so that when the host comes to you he may say,
  'My friend, move up to a higher position.'
  Then you will enjoy the esteem of your companions at the table.
  For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled,
  but the one who humbles himself will be exalted."
