First ReadingRomans 14:7-12
7For none of us lives for himself, and none of us dies for himself.
8For if we live, we live for the Lord, and if we die, we die for the Lord. Therefore, whether we live or die, we belong to the Lord.
9For Christ died and rose again for this purpose: that he might be the ruler of both the dead and the living.
10So then, why do you judge your brother? Or why do you despise your brother? For we shall all stand before the judgment seat of Christ.
11For it is written: “As I live, says the Lord, every knee shall bend to me, and every tongue shall confess to God.”
12And so, each one of us shall offer an explanation of himself to God.
1Now tax collectors and sinners were drawing near to him, so that they might listen to him.
2And the Pharisees and the scribes murmured, saying, “This one accepts sinners and eats with them.”
3And he told this parable to them, saying:
4“What man among you, who has one hundred sheep, and if he will have lost one of them, would not leave the ninety-nine in the desert and go after the one whom he had lost, until he finds it?
5And when he has found it, he places it on his shoulders, rejoicing.
6And returning home, he calls together his friends and neighbors, saying to them: ‘Congratulate me! For I have found my sheep, which had been lost.’
7I say to you, that there will be so much more joy in heaven over one sinner repenting, than over the ninety-nine just, who do not need to repent.
8Or what woman, having ten drachmas, if she will have lost one drachma, would not light a candle, and sweep the house, and diligently search until she finds it?
9And when she has found it, she calls together her friends and neighbors, saying: ‘Rejoice with me! For I have found the drachma, which I had lost.’
10So I say to you, there will be joy before the Angels of God over even one sinner who is repentant.”
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.
