Tuesday of the Thirty-first week in Ordinary Time

Tuesday of the Thirty-first week in Ordinary Time

1. Reading

Letter to the Philippians

2,5-11.

]Brothers and sisters: Have among yourselves the same attitude that is also yours in Christ Jesus,
]Who, though he was in the form of God, did not regard equality with God something to be grasped.
]Rather, he emptied himself, taking the form of a slave, coming in human likeness; and found human in appearance,
]he humbled himself, becoming obedient to death, even death on a cross.
]Because of this, God greatly exalted him and bestowed on him the name that is above every name,
]that at the name of Jesus every knee should bend, of those in heaven and on earth and under the earth,
]and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

Psalm

Psalms

22(21),26b-27.28-30a.31-32.

]I will fulfill my vows before those who fear him.  
]The lowly shall eat their fill;
They who seek the LORD shall praise him:
"May your hearts be ever merry!"
]All the ends of the earth
shall remember and turn to the LORD;
All the families of the nations
shall bow down before him.
]For dominion is the LORD's,
and he rules the nations.
]To him alone shall bow down
all who sleep in the earth;
]And to him my soul shall live;
my descendants shall serve him.
]Let the coming generation be told of the LORD
that they may proclaim to a people yet to be born
the justice he has shown.

Gospel

Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint Luke

14,15-24.

]One of those at table with Jesus said to him, "Blessed is the one who will dine in the kingdom of God."
]He replied to him, "A man gave a great dinner to which he invited many.
]When the time for the dinner came, he dispatched his servant to say to those invited, 'Come, everything is now ready.'
]But one by one, they all began to excuse themselves. The first said to him, 'I have purchased a field and must go to examine it; I ask you, consider me excused.'
]And another said, 'I have purchased five yoke of oxen and am on my way to evaluate them; I ask you, consider me excused.'
]And another said, 'I have just married a woman, and therefore I cannot come.'
]The servant went and reported this to his master. Then the master of the house in a rage commanded his servant, 'Go out quickly into the streets and alleys of the town and bring in here the poor and the crippled, the blind and the lame.'
]The servant reported, 'Sir, your orders have been carried out and still there is room.'
]The master then ordered the servant, 'Go out to the highways and hedgerows and make people come in that my home may be filled.
]For, I tell you, none of those men who were invited will taste my dinner.'"

St. Leonard((† c. 550))

SAINT LEONARD OF NOBLAC ( c. 550) St. Leonard was a nobleman and the advisor of King Clovis I. They were baptized together at Christmas in 496. St. Leonard's godfather was St. Remigius, the bishop of Reims. Instead of accepting a bishopric, St. Leonard preached in Aquitaine and ministered to prisoners. He distanced himself from influential roles and eventually trained disciples as a hermit: first at the monastery of Micy near Orleans and afterward in the solitude of Noblac near Limoges. He founded an abbey in Noblac; and the town of Saint-Léonard-de-Noblat is named after him. St. Leonard's charity accustomed him to remain active in works of mercy: visiting prisoners and the sick. Several crusaders attributed their release from captivity to his intercession. He is the patron saint of captives and prisoners.
