Therefore, whether you eat or drink, or whatsoever else you do, do all to the glory of God. Be without offence to the Jews, and to the Gentiles, and to the church of God: As I also in all things please all men, not seeking that which is profitable to myself, but to many, that may be saved. Be ye followers of me, as I also am of Christ.
Responsorial Psalm: Psalm 34 (33):2a OR 9a; V. 2-3, 4-5, 6-7, 8-9, 10-11
R. I will bless the Lord at all times,ORR. O taste, and see that the Lord is sweet:V. I will bless the Lord at all times,his praise shall be always in my mouth.In the Lord shall my soul be praised:let the meek hear and rejoice.V. O magnify the Lord with me;and let us extol his name together.I sought the Lord, and he heard me;and he delivered me from all my troubles.V. Come ye to him and be enlightened:and your faces shall not be confounded.This poor man cried, and the Lord heard him:and saved him out of all his troubles.V. The angel of the Lord shall encamp round about them that fear him:and shall deliver them.O taste, and see that the Lord is sweet:blessed is the man that hopeth in him.V. Fear the Lord, all ye his saints:for there is no want to them that fear him.The rich have wanted, and have suffered hunger:but they that seek the Lord shall not be deprived of any good.
Gospel Reading: Luke 14:25-33
And there went great multitudes with him. And turning, he said to them: If any man come to me, and hate not his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brethren, and sisters, yea and his own life also, he cannot be my disciple. And whosoever doth not carry his cross and come after me, cannot be my disciple. For which of you having a mind to build a tower, doth not first sit down, and reckon the charges that are necessary, whether he have wherewithal to finish it: Lest, after he hath laid the foundation, and is not able to finish it, all that see it begin to mock him, Saying: This man began to build, and was not able to finish. Or what king, about to go to make war against another king, doth not first sit down, and think whether he be able, with ten thousand, to meet him that, with twenty thousand, cometh against him? Or else, whilst the other is yet afar off, sending an embassy, he desireth conditions of peace. So likewise every one of you that doth not renounce all that he possesseth, cannot be my disciple.
