Instead, collaborate with the Gospel in accord with the virtue of God, - 13 Hold to the kind of sound words that you have heard from me in the faith and love which is in Christ Jesus. - 14 Guard the good entrusted to you through the Holy Spirit, who lives within us. Catholic Public Domain Version Read in the CPDV: [The whole of 2 Timothy 1](https://blessbible.app/bible/2-timothy/1/) ### Alleluia: 1 Peter 1:25 Read in the CPDV: [1 Peter 1](https://blessbible.app/bible/1-peter/1/) ### Gospel: Luke 17:5-10 - 5 And the Apostles said to the Lord, “Increase our faith.” - 6 But the Lord said: “If you have faith like a grain of mustard seed, you may say to this mulberry tree, ‘Be uprooted, and be transplanted into the sea.’ And it would obey you. - 7 But which of you, having a servant plowing or feeding cattle, would say to him, as he was returning from the field, ‘Come in immediately; sit down to eat,’ - 8 and would not say to him: ‘Prepare my dinner; gird yourself and minister to me, while I eat and drink; and after these things, you shall eat and drink?’ - 9 Would he be grateful to that servant, for doing what he commanded him to do? - 10 I think not. So too, when you have done all these things that have been taught to you, you should say: ‘We are useless servants. We have done what we should have done.’” Catholic Public Domain Version Read in the CPDV: [The whole of Luke 17](https://blessbible.app/bible/luke/17/) 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?
