Catholic Mass Readings
Readings of the Day
First Reading: Titus 2:1-8, 11-14
Beloved: Teach what accords with sound doctrine. Older men are to be sober-minded, dignified, self-controlled, sound in faith, in love, and in steadfastness. Older women likewise are to be reverent in behaviour, not slanderers or slaves to much wine. They are to teach what is good, and so train the young women to love their husbands and children, to be selfcontrolled, pure, working at home, kind, and submissive to their own husbands, that the word of God may not be reviled. Likewise, urge the younger men to be self-controlled. Show yourself in all respects to be a model of good works, and in your teaching show integrity, dignity, and sound speech that cannot be condemned, so that an opponent may be put to shame, having nothing evil to say about us. For the grace of God has appeared, bringing salvation for all people, training us to renounce ungodliness and worldly passions, and to live self-controlled, upright, and godly lives in the present age, waiting for our blessed hope, the appearing of the glory of our great God and Saviour Jesus Christ, who gave himself for us to redeem us from all lawlessness and to purify for himself a people for his own possession who are zealous for good works.
Psalm 37:3-4, 18 and 23, 27 and 29 (R. 39a)

Gospel: Luke 17:7-10
At that time: Jesus said, “Will any one of you who has a servant ploughing or keeping sheep say to him when he has come in from the field, ‘Come at once and recline at table’? Will he not rather say to him, ‘Prepare supper for me, and dress properly, and serve me while I eat and drink, and afterwards you will eat and drink’? Does he thank the servant because he did what was commanded? So you also, when you have done all that you were commanded, say, ‘We are unworthy servants; we have only done what was our duty.’”
Tuesday – 32nd Week in Ordinary Time
Daily Gospel Reflection
Main Point: A servant comes in after a long day of plowing and still has to serve dinner. Nobody thanks him. Jesus says this is simply what servants do. It sounds harsh until we see who first served us.
1. One thing that is constantly notable in the life of Jesus and also his apostles is the series of failures along with the successes. Crowds sought and thronged Jesus. The number of faithful increased rapidly during the apostles’ mission. However, they were always opposed, obstructed, and persecuted. But they were undeterred in their mission.
My Practice: Today, I can do one tiring task for someone at home or at work without mentioning it to anyone. I will offer it quietly to Christ, who served me first.
Prayer
Lord Jesus, You came not to be served but to serve, and You washed Your servants’ feet. Forgive us for the accounts we keep, and for the hurt we feel when our work goes unnoticed. Free us from serving to be seen. Let the grace that has appeared in You make us generous and steady, faithful in the long, ordinary hours. Remind us, as Saint Leo did, of our dignity as Your children, so that we can serve with joy and without counting. Amen.
Question to Reflect Today
- Where are you quietly keeping score, waiting to be thanked for what you do?
Is there someone whose quiet service you have never thanked? Share their first name in the comments, and we will pray for them. Fr. Sam remembers all intentions shared here at his weekly Mass.
