Updated October 20, 2026 ## The liturgical day Liturgical color Green - **Celebration**: Tuesday of the Thirtieth Week in Ordinary Time - **Season**: Ordinary Time · Week 30 - **Rank**: Weekday - **Sunday cycle**: Year A - **Weekday cycle**: Cycle II ## Mass readings (US) ### First Reading: Ephesians 5:21-33 - 21 Be subject to one another in the fear of Christ. - 22 Wives should be submissive to their husbands, as to the Lord. - 23 For the husband is the head of the wife, just as Christ is the head of the Church. He is the Savior of his body. - 24 Therefore, just as the Church is subject to Christ, so also should wives be subject to their husbands in all things. - 25 Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ also loved the Church and handed himself over for her, - 26 so that he might sanctify her, washing her clean by water and the Word of life, - 27 so that he might offer her to himself as a glorious Church, not having any spot or wrinkle or any such thing, so that she would be holy and immaculate. - 28 So, too, husbands should love their wives as their own bodies. He who loves his wife loves himself. - 29 For no man has ever hated his own flesh, but instead he nourishes and cherishes it, as Christ also does to the Church. - 30 For we are a part of his body, of his flesh and of his bones. - 31 “For this reason, a man shall leave behind his father and mother, and he shall cling to his wife; and the two shall be as one flesh.” - 32 This is a great Sacrament. And I am speaking in Christ and in the Church. - 33 Yet truly, each and every one of you should love his wife as himself. And a wife should fear her husband. Catholic Public Domain Version Read in the CPDV: [The whole of Ephesians 5](https://blessbible.app/bible/ephesians/5/) ### Responsorial Psalm: Psalm 128:1-2, 3, 4-5 Read in the CPDV: [Psalm 128 (127 in the Vulgate)](https://blessbible.app/bible/psalms/127/) ### Alleluia: See Matthew 11:25 Read in the CPDV: [Matthew 11](https://blessbible.app/bible/matthew/11/) ### Gospel: Luke 13:18-21 - 18 And so he said: “To what is the kingdom of God similar, and to what figure shall I compare it? - 19 It is like a grain of mustard seed, which a man took and cast into his garden. And it grew, and it became a great tree, and the birds of the air rested in its branches.” - 20 And again, he said: “To what figure shall I compare the kingdom of God? - 21 It is like leaven, which a woman took and hid in three measures of fine wheat flour, until it was entirely leavened.” Catholic Public Domain Version Read in the CPDV: [The whole of Luke 13](https://blessbible.app/bible/luke/13/) Citations as published in the USCCB liturgical calendar. In US parishes the readings are proclaimed from the NABRE; the text shown here is the Catholic Public Domain Version. Old Testament readings and the psalm are listed with a link to their chapter: the US Lectionary numbers some of their verses differently from the CPDV, so their text is not printed here. Psalm citations keep the Lectionary’s Hebrew numbering; the CPDV numbers the Psalms as the Vulgate does. Spotted a wrong date, color or citation?
