  FIRST LECTURE OF THE MASS

  Philippians 4:10-19

  10I rejoice in the Lord greatly that now at length you have revived your concern for me; you were indeed concerned for me, but you had no opportunity. 11Not that I complain of want; for I have learned, in whatever state I am, to be content. 12I know how to be abased, and I know how to abound; in any and all circumstances I have learned the secret of facing plenty and hunger, abundance and want. 13I can do all things in him who strengthens me. 14Yet it was kind of you to share my trouble. 15And you Philippians yourselves know that in the beginning of the gospel, when I left Macedo'nia, no church entered into partnership with me in giving and receiving except you only; 16for even in Thessaloni'ca you sent me help once and again. 17Not that I seek the gift; but I seek the fruit which increases to your credit. 18I have received full payment, and more; I am filled, having received from Epaphrodi'tus the gifts you sent, a fragrant offering, a sacrifice acceptable and pleasing to God. 19And my God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus.

  RESPONSORIAL PSALM

  Psalms 112:1-2, 5-6, 8-9

  1Praise the LORD. Blessed is the man who fears the LORD, who greatly delights in his commandments! 2His descendants will be mighty in the land; the generation of the upright will be blessed. 5It is well with the man who deals generously and lends, who conducts his affairs with justice. 6For the righteous will never be moved; he will be remembered for ever. 8His heart is steady, he will not be afraid, until he sees his desire on his adversaries. 9He has distributed freely, he has given to the poor; his righteousness endures for ever; his horn is exalted in honor.

  GOSPEL OF THE MASS

  Luke 16:9-15

  9And I tell you, make friends for yourselves by means of unrighteous mammon, so that when it fails they may receive you into the eternal habitations. 10"He who is faithful in a very little is faithful also in much; and he who is dishonest in a very little is dishonest also in much. 11If then you have not been faithful in the unrighteous mammon, who will entrust to you the true riches? 12And if you have not been faithful in that which is another's, who will give you that which is your own? 13No servant can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon." 14The Pharisees, who were lovers of money, heard all this, and they scoffed at him. 15But he said to them, "You are those who justify yourselves before men, but God knows your hearts; for what is exalted among men is an abomination in the sight of God.

  Ordinary Time.

  FIRST LECTURE OF THE MASS

  Phil 2:12-18

  My beloved, obedient as you have always been,
  not only when I am present but all the more now when I am absent,
  work out your salvation with fear and trembling.
  For God is the one who, for his good purpose,
  works in you both to desire and to work.
  Do everything without grumbling or questioning,
  that you may be blameless and innocent,
  children of God without blemish
  in the midst of a crooked and perverse generation,
  among whom you shine like lights in the world,
  as you hold on to the word of life,
  so that my boast for the day of Christ may be
  that I did not run in vain or labor in vain.
  But, even if I am poured out as a libation
  upon the sacrificial service of your faith,
  I rejoice and share my joy with all of you.
  In the same way you also should rejoice and share your joy with me.
  

  RESPONSORIAL PSALM

  Ps 27:1, 4, 13-14

  R. (1a) The Lord is my light and my salvation.
  The LORD is my light and my salvation;
  whom should I fear?
  The LORD is my life's refuge;
  of whom should I be afraid?
  R. The Lord is my light and my salvation.
  One thing I ask of the LORD;
  this I seek:
  To dwell in the house of the LORD
  all the days of my life,
  That I may gaze on the loveliness of the LORD
  and contemplate his temple.
  R. The Lord is my light and my salvation.
  I believe that I shall see the bounty of the LORD
  in the land of the living.
  Wait for the LORD with courage;
  be stouthearted, and wait for the LORD.
  R. The Lord is my light and my salvation.
  

  GOSPEL OF THE MASS

  Lk 14:25-33

  Great crowds were traveling with Jesus,
  and he turned and addressed them,
  "If anyone comes to me without hating his father and mother,
  wife and children, brothers and sisters,
  and even his own life,
  he cannot be my disciple.
  Whoever does not carry his own cross and come after me
  cannot be my disciple.
  Which of you wishing to construct a tower
  does not first sit down and calculate the cost
  to see if there is enough for its completion?
  Otherwise, after laying the foundation
  and finding himself unable to finish the work
  the onlookers should laugh at him and say,
  'This one began to build but did not have the resources to finish.'
  Or what king marching into battle would not first sit down
  and decide whether with ten thousand troops
  he can successfully oppose another king
  advancing upon him with twenty thousand troops?
  But if not, while he is still far away,
  he will send a delegation to ask for peace terms.
  In the same way,
  everyone of you who does not renounce all his possessions
  cannot be my disciple."
