Updated October 20, 2026 ## The liturgical day Liturgical color White - **Celebration**: Our Lady of Sorrows - **Season**: Ordinary Time · Week 23 - **Rank**: Memorial - **Sunday cycle**: Year C - **Weekday cycle**: Cycle II ## Mass readings (US) ### First Reading: 1 Corinthians 9:16-19, 22b-27 - 16 For if I preach the Gospel, it is not glory for me. For an obligation has been laid upon me. And woe to me, if I do not preach the Gospel. - 17 For if I do this willingly, I have a reward. But if I do this reluctantly, a dispensation is granted to me. - 18 And what, then, would be my reward? So, when preaching the Gospel, I should give the Gospel without taking, so that I may not misuse my authority in the Gospel. - 19 For when I was a free man to all, I made myself the servant of all, so that I might gain all the more. - 22 To the weak, I became weak, so that I might gain the weak. To all, I became all, so that I might save all. - 23 And I do everything for the sake of the Gospel, so that I may become its partner. - 24 Do you not know that, of those who run in a race, all of them, certainly, are runners, but only one achieves the prize. Similarly, you must run, so that you may achieve. - 25 And one who competes in a contest abstains from all things. And they do this, of course, so that they may achieve a corruptible crown. But we do this, so that we may achieve what is incorruptible. - 26 And so I run, but not with uncertainty. And so I fight, but not by flailing in the air. - 27 Instead, I chastise my body, so as to redirect it into servitude. Otherwise, I might preach to others, but become myself an outcast.

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?
