Therefore, whether we live or die, we belong to the Lord. - 9 For Christ died and rose again for this purpose: that he might be the ruler of both the dead and the living. - 10 So 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. - 11 For it is written: “As I live, says the Lord, every knee shall bend to me, and every tongue shall confess to God.” - 12 And so, each one of us shall offer an explanation of himself to God.

For I have found my sheep, which had been lost.’ - 7 I 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. - 8 Or 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? - 9 And 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.’ - 10 So I say to you, there will be joy before the Angels of God over even one sinner who is repentant.” Catholic Public Domain Version Read in the CPDV: [The whole of Luke 15](https://blessbible.app/bible/luke/15/) 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. Spotted a wrong date, color or citation?
