First Reading Ephesians 5:21-33

  • 21Be subject to one another in the fear of Christ.

  • 22Wives should be submissive to their husbands, as to the Lord.

  • 23For the husband is the head of the wife, just as Christ is the head of the Church. He is the Savior of his body.

  • 24Therefore, just as the Church is subject to Christ, so also should wives be subject to their husbands in all things.

  • 25Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ also loved the Church and handed himself over for her,

  • 26so that he might sanctify her, washing her clean by water and the Word of life,

  • 27so that he might offer her to himself as a glorious Church, not having any spot or wrinkle or any such thing, so that she would be holy and immaculate.

  • 28So, too, husbands should love their wives as their own bodies. He who loves his wife loves himself.

  • 29For no man has ever hated his own flesh, but instead he nourishes and cherishes it, as Christ also does to the Church.

  • 30For we are a part of his body, of his flesh and of his bones.

  • 31“For this reason, a man shall leave behind his father and mother, and he shall cling to his wife; and the two shall be as one flesh.”

  • 32This is a great Sacrament. And I am speaking in Christ and in the Church.

  • 33Yet truly, each and every one of you should love his wife as himself. And a wife should fear her husband.

Gospel Luke 13:18-21

  • 18And so he said: “To what is the kingdom of God similar, and to what figure shall I compare it?

  • 19It is like a grain of mustard seed, which a man took and cast into his garden. And it grew, and it became a great tree, and the birds of the air rested in its branches.”

  • 20And again, he said: “To what figure shall I compare the kingdom of God?

  • 21It is like leaven, which a woman took and hid in three measures of fine wheat flour, until it was entirely leavened.”

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.
