First Reading Ephesians 1:15-23

15Because of this, and hearing of your faith that is in the Lord Jesus, and of your love toward all the saints,
16I have not ceased giving thanks for you, calling you to mind in my prayers,
17so that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give a spirit of wisdom and of revelation to you, in knowledge of him.
18May the eyes of your heart be illuminated, so that you may know what is the hope of his calling, and the wealth of the glory of his inheritance with the saints,
19and the preeminent magnitude of his virtue toward us, toward we who believe in accord with the work of his powerful virtue,
20which he wrought in Christ, raising him from the dead and establishing him at his right hand in the heavens,
21above every principality and power and virtue and dominion, and above every name that is given, not only in this age, but even in the future age.
22And he has subjected all things under his feet, and he has made him the head over the entire Church,
23which is his body and which is the fullness of him who accomplishes everything in everyone.

Gospel Luke 12:8-12

8But I say to you: Everyone who will have confessed me before men, the Son of man will also confess him before the Angels of God.
9But everyone who will have denied me before men, he will be denied before the Angels of God.
10And everyone who speaks a word against the Son of man, it will be forgiven of him. But of him who will have blasphemed against the Holy Spirit, it will not be forgiven.
11And when they will lead you to the synagogues, and to magistrates and authorities, do not choose to be worried about how or what you will answer, or about what you might say.
12For the Holy Spirit will teach you, in the same hour, what you must say.”

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.
