First Reading Romans 8:18-25

18For I consider that the sufferings of this time are not worthy to be compared with that future glory which shall be revealed in us.
19For the anticipation of the creature anticipates the revelation of the sons of God.
20For the creature was made subject to emptiness, not willingly, but for the sake of the One who made it subject, unto hope.
21For the creature itself shall also be delivered from the servitude of corruption, into the liberty of the glory of the sons of God.
22For we know that every creature groans inwardly, as if giving birth, even until now;
23and not only these, but also ourselves, since we hold the first-fruits of the Spirit. For we also groan within ourselves, anticipating our adoption as the sons of God, and the redemption of our body.
24For we have been saved by hope. But a hope which is seen is not hope. For when a man sees something, why would he hope?
25But since we hope for what we do not see, we wait with patience.

Gospel Luke 13:18-21

18And so he said: “To what is the kingdom of God similar, and to what figure shall I compare it?
19It 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.”
20And again, he said: “To what figure shall I compare the kingdom of God?
21It is like leaven, which a woman took and hid in three measures of fine wheat flour, until it was entirely leavened.”

Computed by Bless from the US Lectionary cycle — confirm with your parish.

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.
