For I do not find your works to be full in the sight of my God. - 3 Therefore, keep in mind the way that you have received and heard, and then observe it and repent. But if you will not be vigilant, I will come to you like a thief, and you will not know at what hour I will come to you. - 4 But you have a few names in Sardis who have not defiled their garments. And these shall walk with me in white, because they are worthy. - 5 Whoever prevails, so shall he be clothed in white vestments. And I will not delete his name from the Book of Life. And I will confess his name in the presence of my Father and in the presence of his Angels. - 6 Whoever has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the Churches. - 14 And to the Angel of the Church of Laodicea write: Thus says the Amen, the faithful and true Witness, who is the Beginning of the creation of God: - 15 I know your works: that you are neither cold, nor hot. I wish that you were either cold or hot. - 16 But because you are lukewarm and are neither cold nor hot, I will begin to vomit you out of my mouth. - 17 For you declare, ‘I am wealthy, and I have been enriched further, and I have need of nothing.’ And you do not know that you are wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked. - 18 I urge you to buy from me gold, tested by fire, so that you may be enriched and may be clothed in white vestments, and so that the shame of your nakedness may disappear. And anoint your eyes with an eye salve, so that you may see. - 19 Those whom I love, I rebuke and chastise. Therefore, be zealous and do penance. - 20 Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone will hear my voice and will open the door to me, I will enter to him, and I will dine with him, and he with me. - 21 Whoever prevails, I will grant to him to sit with me on my throne, just as I also have overcome and have sat down with my Father on his throne. - 22 Whoever has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the Churches.” Catholic Public Domain Version Read in the CPDV: [The whole of Revelation 3](https://blessbible.app/bible/revelation/3/) ### Responsorial Psalm: Psalm 15:2-3a, 3bc-4ab, 5 Read in the CPDV: [Psalm 15 (14 in the Vulgate)](https://blessbible.app/bible/psalms/14/) ### Alleluia: 1 John 4:10b Read in the CPDV: [1 John 4](https://blessbible.app/bible/1-john/4/) ### Gospel: Luke 19:1-10 - 1 And having entered, he walked through Jericho. - 2 And behold, there was a man named Zacchaeus. And he was the leader of the tax collectors, and he was wealthy. - 3 And he sought to see Jesus, to see who he was. But he was unable to do so, because of the crowd, for he was small in stature. - 4 And running ahead, he climbed up a sycamore tree, so that he might see him. For he was to pass near there. - 5 And when he had arrived at the place, Jesus looked up and saw him, and he said to him: “Zacchaeus, hurry down. For today, I should lodge in your house.” - 6 And hurrying, he came down, and he received him joyfully. - 7 And when they all saw this, they murmured, saying that he had turned aside to a sinful man. - 8 But Zacchaeus, standing still, said to the Lord: “Behold, Lord, one half of my goods I give to the poor. And if I have cheated anyone in any matter, I will repay him fourfold.” - 9 Jesus said to him: “Today, salvation has come to this house; because of this, he too is a son of Abraham. - 10 For the Son of man has come to seek and to save what had been lost.” Catholic Public Domain Version Read in the CPDV: [The whole of Luke 19](https://blessbible.app/bible/luke/19/) 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?
