First Reading Titus 2:1-8, 11-14

1But you are to speak the things that befit sound doctrine.
2Old men should be sober, chaste, prudent, sound in faith, in love, in patience.
3Old women, similarly, should be in holy attire, not false accusers, not given to much wine, teaching well,
4so that they may teach prudence to the young women, so that they may love their husbands, love their children,
5be sensible, chaste, restrained, have concern for the household, be kind, be subordinate to their husbands: so that the Word of God may be not blasphemed.
6Exhort young men similarly, so that they may show self-restraint.
7In all things, present yourself as an example of good works: in doctrine, with integrity, with seriousness,
8with sound words, irreproachably, so that he who is an opponent may dread that he has nothing evil to say about us.
Some verses are not read.
11For the grace of God our Savior has appeared to all men,
12instructing us to reject impiety and worldly desires, so that we may live soberly and justly and piously in this age,
13looking forward to the blessed hope and the advent of the glory of the great God and of our Savior Jesus Christ.
14He gave himself for our sake, so that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and might cleanse for himself an acceptable people, pursuers of good works.

Gospel Luke 17:7-10

7But which of you, having a servant plowing or feeding cattle, would say to him, as he was returning from the field, ‘Come in immediately; sit down to eat,’
8and would not say to him: ‘Prepare my dinner; gird yourself and minister to me, while I eat and drink; and after these things, you shall eat and drink?’
9Would he be grateful to that servant, for doing what he commanded him to do?
10I think not. So too, when you have done all these things that have been taught to you, you should say: ‘We are useless servants. We have done what we should have done.’”

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.
