For not many are wise according to the flesh, not many are powerful, not many are noble. - 27 But God has chosen the foolish of the world, so that he may confound the wise. And God has chosen the weak of the world, so that he may confound the strong. - 28 And God has chosen the ignoble and contemptible of the world, those who are nothing, so that he may reduce to nothing those who are something. - 29 So then, nothing that is of the flesh should glory in his sight. - 30 But you are of him in Christ Jesus, who was made by God to be our wisdom and justice and sanctification and redemption. - 31 And so, in the same way, it was written: “Whoever glories, should glory in the Lord.” Catholic Public Domain Version Read in the CPDV: [The whole of 1 Corinthians 1](https://blessbible.app/bible/1-corinthians/1/) ### Responsorial Psalm: Psalm 33:12-13, 18-19, 20-21 Read in the CPDV: [Psalm 33 (32 in the Vulgate)](https://blessbible.app/bible/psalms/32/) ### Alleluia: John 13:34 Read in the CPDV: [John 13](https://blessbible.app/bible/john/13/) ### Gospel: Matthew 25:14-30 - 14 For it is like a man setting out on a long journey, who called his servants and delivered to them his goods. - 15 And to one he gave five talents, and to another two, yet to another he gave one, to each according to his own ability. And promptly, he set out. - 16 Then he who had received five talents went out, and he made use of these, and he gained another five. - 17 And similarly, he who had received two gained another two. - 18 But he who had received one, going out, dug into the earth, and he hid the money of his lord. - 19 Yet truly, after a long time, the lord of those servants returned and he settled accounts with them. - 20 And when he who had received five talents approached, he brought another five talents, saying: ‘Lord, you delivered five talents to me. Behold, I have increased it by another five.’ - 21 His lord said to him: ‘Well done, good and faithful servant. Since you have been faithful over a few things, I will appoint you over many things. Enter into the gladness of your lord.’ - 22 Then he who had received two talents also approached, and he said: ‘Lord, you delivered two talents to me. Behold, I have gained another two.’ - 23 His lord said to him: ‘Well done, good and faithful servant. Since you have been faithful over a few things, I will appoint you over many things. Enter into the gladness of your lord.’ - 24 Then he who had received one talent, approaching, said: ‘Lord, I know that you are a hard man. You reap where you have not sown, and gather where you have not scattered. - 25 And so, being afraid, I went out and hid your talent in the earth. Behold, you have what is yours.’ - 26 But his lord said to him in response: ‘You evil and lazy servant! You knew that I reap where I have not sown, and gather where I have not scattered. - 27 Therefore, you should have deposited my money with the bankers, and then, at my arrival, at least I would have received what is mine with interest. - 28 And so, take the talent away from him and give it to the one who has ten talents. - 29 For to everyone who has, more shall be given, and he shall have in abundance. But from him who has not, even what he seems to have, shall be taken away. - 30 And cast that useless servant into the outer darkness, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.’ Catholic Public Domain Version Read in the CPDV: [The whole of Matthew 25](https://blessbible.app/bible/matthew/25/) 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?
