First Reading Romans 13:8-10

  • 8You should owe nothing to anyone, except so as to love one another. For whoever loves his neighbor has fulfilled the law.

  • 9For example: You shall not commit adultery. You shall not kill. You shall not steal. You shall not speak false testimony. You shall not covet. And if there is any other commandment, it is summed up in this word: You shall love your neighbor as yourself.

  • 10The love of neighbor does no harm. Therefore, love is the plenitude of the law.

Gospel Luke 14:25-33

  • 25Now great crowds traveled with him. And turning around, he said to them:

  • 26“If anyone comes to me, and does not hate his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brothers, and sisters, and yes, even his own life, he is not able to be my disciple.

  • 27And whoever does not bear his cross and come after me, is not able to be my disciple.

  • 28For who among you, wanting to build a tower, would not first sit down and determine the costs that are required, to see if he has the means to complete it?

  • 29Otherwise, after he will have laid the foundation and not been able to finish it, everyone who sees it may begin to mock him,

  • 30saying: ‘This man began to build what he was not able to finish.’

  • 31Or, what king, advancing to engage in war against another king, would not first sit down and consider whether he may be able, with ten thousand, to meet one who comes against him with twenty thousand?

  • 32If not, then while the other is still far away, sending a delegation, he would ask him for terms of peace.

  • 33Therefore, every one of you who does not renounce all that he possesses is not able to be my disciple.

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.
