Second Reading 1 Timothy 6:11-16
11But you, O man of God, flee from these things, and truly pursue justice, piety, faith, charity, patience, meekness.
12Fight the good fight of faith. Take hold of the eternal life to which you have been called, and make a good profession of faith in the sight of many witnesses.
13I charge you, in the sight of God, who enlivens all things, and in the sight of Christ Jesus, who gave the testimony of a good profession under Pontius Pilate,
14to observe the commandment, immaculately, irreproachably, unto the return of our Lord Jesus Christ.
15For at the proper time, he shall reveal the blessed and only Power, the King of kings and the Lord of lords,
16who alone holds immortality, and who inhabits the inaccessible light, whom no man has seen, nor even is able to see, to whom is honor and everlasting dominion. Amen.

Gospel Luke 16:19-31
19A certain man was wealthy, and he was clothed in purple and in fine linen. And he feasted splendidly every day.
20And there was a certain beggar, named Lazarus, who lay at his gate, covered with sores,
21wanting to be filled with the crumbs which were falling from the wealthy man’s table. But no one gave it to him. And even the dogs came and licked his sores.
22Then it happened that the beggar died, and he was carried by the Angels into the bosom of Abraham. Now the wealthy man also died, and he was entombed in Hell.
23Then lifting up his eyes, while he was in torments, he saw Abraham far away, and Lazarus in his bosom.
24And crying out, he said: ‘Father Abraham, take pity on me and send Lazarus, so that he may dip the tip of his finger in water to refresh my tongue. For I am tortured in this fire.’
25And Abraham said to him: ‘Son, recall that you received good things in your life, and in comparison, Lazarus received bad things. But now he is consoled, and truly you are tormented.
26And besides all this, between us and you a great chasm has been established, so that those who might want to cross from here to you are not able, nor can someone cross from there to here.’
27And he said: ‘Then, father, I beg you to send him to my father’s house, for I have five brothers,
28so that he may testify to them, lest they also come into this place of torments.’
29And Abraham said to him: ‘They have Moses and the prophets. Let them listen to them.’
30So he said: ‘No, father Abraham. But if someone were to go to them from the dead, they would repent.’
31But he said to him: ‘If they will not listen to Moses and the prophets, neither will they believe even if someone has resurrected from the dead.’”

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.
