First ReadingPhilippians 3:17—4:1
17Be imitators of me, brothers, and observe those who are walking similarly, just as you have seen by our example.
18For many persons, about whom I have often told you (and now tell you, weeping,) are walking as enemies of the cross of Christ.
19Their end is destruction; their god is their belly; and their glory is in their shame: for they are immersed in earthly things.
20But our way of life is in heaven. And from heaven, too, we await the Savior, our Lord Jesus Christ,
21who will transform the body of our lowliness, according to the form of the body of his glory, by means of that power by which he is even able to subject all things to himself.
4:1And so, my most beloved and most desired brothers, my joy and my crown: stand firm in this way, in the Lord, most beloved.
1And he also said to his disciples: “A certain man was wealthy, and he had a steward of his estate. And this man was accused to him of having dissipated his goods.
2And he called him and said to him: ‘What is this that I hear about you? Give an account of your stewardship. For you can no longer be my steward.’
3And the steward said within himself: ‘What shall I do? For my lord is taking the stewardship away from me. I am not strong enough to dig. I am too ashamed to beg.
4I know what I will do so that, when I have been removed from the stewardship, they may receive me into their houses.’
5And so, calling together each one of his lord’s debtors, he said to the first, ‘How much do you owe my lord?’
6So he said, ‘One hundred jars of oil.’ And he said to him, ‘Take your invoice, and quickly, sit down and write fifty.’
7Next, he said to another, ‘In truth, how much do you owe?’ And he said, ‘One hundred measures of wheat.’ He said to him, ‘Take your record books, and write eighty.’
8And the lord praised the iniquitous steward, in that he had acted prudently. For the sons of this age are more prudent with their generation than are the sons of light.
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.
