Reading 1 – Ephesians 5.21-33
Brothers and sisters:
Submit yourselves to one another in the fear of Christ.
Wives, submit to your own husbands, as to the Lord.
For the husband is the head of the wife,
and Christ also is the head of the Church,
he is the Savior of his body.
As the Church submits to Christ,
so let wives also be to their own husbands in everything.
Husbands, love your wives,
just as Christ loved the Church,
and gave himself up for her,
that he might sanctify her,
having cleansed her by the washing of water with the word,
so that he might present the Church to himself in glory,
having no spot or wrinkle or any such thing,
but that she would be holy and without defect.
Just so, husbands also ought to love their own wives as their own bodies.
He who loves his own wife loves himself.
For no one ever hated their own flesh,
but nourishes and cherishes it,
just as the Lord does the Church,
because we are members of his body.
“For this reason a human will leave his father and mother,
and will be joined to his wife. The two will become one flesh.”
This mystery is great: I speak concerning Christ and the Church.
In any case, each one of you should love his wife as himself,
and the wife should respect her husband.
Responsorial – Psalm 128.1-2, 3, 4-5 Resp. 1a
R. Blessed is everyone who fears the Lord.
Blessed is everyone who fears the Lord,
who walks in his ways.
For you will eat the labor of your hands.
You will be happy, and it will be well with you.
R. Blessed is everyone who fears the Lord.
Your wife will be as a fruitful vine,
in the innermost parts of your house;
your children like olive plants,
around your table.
R. Blessed is everyone who fears the Lord.
Behold, thus is the man blessed
who fears the Lord.
May the Lord bless you from Zion,
and may you see the good of Jerusalem
all the days of your life.
R. Blessed is everyone who fears the Lord.
Gospel – Luke 13.18-21
Jesus said, “What is the Kingdom of God like? To what shall I compare it?
It is like a grain of mustard seed, which a man took, and put in his own garden.
It grew, and became a large tree, and the birds of the sky live in its branches.”
Again he said, “To what shall I compare the Kingdom of God?
It is like yeast, which a woman took and mixed in three measures of flour,
until it was all leavened.”

Reading 1 – Ephesians 4.32-5:8
Brothers and sisters:
Be kind to one another, tender hearted,
forgiving each other, just as God in Christ forgave you.
Be therefore imitators of God, as beloved children.
Walk in love, even as Christ also loved us, and gave himself up for us,
an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweet-smelling fragrance.
But let perversion and all uncleanness, or covetousness,
not even be mentioned among you, as becomes saints;
nor filthiness, nor foolish talking, nor jesting, which are not appropriate,
but rather thanksgiving.
Know this for sure: no pervert, nor unclean person, nor coveter, who is an idolater,
has any inheritance in the Kingdom of Christ and God.
Let no one deceive you with empty words.
For because of these things, the wrath of God comes on the sons of disobedience.
Therefore do not be partners with them.
For you were once darkness, but are now light in the Lord.
Walk as children of light.
Responsorial – Psalm 1.1-2, 3, 4+6 Resp. Ephesians 5.1
R. Be therefore imitators of God, as beloved children.
Blessed is the man who does not walk
in the counsel of the wicked,
nor stand on the sinners’ path,
nor sit in the scoffers’ seat,
but whose delight is in the Lord’s law.
On his law he meditates day and night.
R. Be therefore imitators of God, as beloved children.
He will be like a tree
planted by the streams of water,
that produces its fruit in its season,
whose leaf does not wither.
Whatever he does shall prosper.
R. Be therefore imitators of God, as beloved children.
The wicked are not so,
but are like the chaff which the wind drives away.
For the Lord watches the way of the righteous,
but the way of the wicked shall perish.
R. Be therefore imitators of God, as beloved children.
Gospel – Luke 13.10-17
Jesus was teaching in one of the synagogues on the Sabbath day.
Behold, there was a woman who had a spirit of disability eighteen years,
and she was bent over, and could in no way straighten herself up.
When Jesus saw her, he called her, and said to her,
“Woman, you are freed from your infirmity.”
He laid his hands on her, and immediately she stood up straight, and glorified God.
The leader of the synagogue, being indignant because Jesus had healed on the Sabbath,
said to the crowd, “There are six days on which to work.
Therefore come on those days and be healed, and not on the Sabbath day!”
But the Lord answered him, “You hypocrites!
Do not each of you free his ox or his donkey from the stall on the Sabbath,
and lead him away to water?
Ought not this woman, being a daughter of Abraham,
whom Satan had bound eighteen long years,
be freed from this bondage on the Sabbath day?”
As he said these things, all his accusers were shamed,
and the whole crowd rejoiced for all the glorious things that were done by him.

Reading 1 - Joshua 24.1-2a, 15-17, 18b
Joshua gathered all the tribes of Israel to Shechem,
summoning the elders, the heads, the judges, and the officers of Israel.
and they presented themselves before God.
Joshua said to all the people,
“If it seems evil to you to serve the Lord,
choose today whom you will serve,
whether the gods which your fathers served that were beyond the River,
or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land you dwell,
as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.”
The people answered,
“Far be it from us to forsake the Lord to serve other gods,
for it is the Lord our God who brought us and our fathers
up out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage,
and who did those great signs in our sight,
and preserved us on the entire way which we went,
and among all the peoples through the midst of whom we passed.
The Lord drove out from before us all the peoples,
even the Amorites who lived in the land.
Therefore we also will serve the Lord, for he is our God.”

The eyes of the Lord are on the just,

But the face of the Lord is against evildoers,
to cut off remembrance of them from the earth.
R. I will bless the Lord at all times.
The just cried, and the Lord heard them,
and delivered them out of all their troubles.
The Lord is near to the brokenhearted,
and he will save the humble of spirit.
R. O taste and see that the Lord is good.
Many are the afflictions of the righteous,
but the Lord delivers him out of them all.
He protects all of his bones.
Not one of them is broken.

Many of Jesus’ disciples,
when they heard this, said,
“This is a hard saying! Who can listen to it?”
But Jesus knowing in himself
that his disciples murmured at this,
said to them,
“Does this scandalize you?
Then what if you were to see
the Son of Human ascending
to where he was before?
It is the Spirit who gives life.
The flesh profits nothing.
The words that I speak to you
are Spirit and life.
But there are some of you
who do not believe.”
For Jesus knew from the beginning
who did not believe,
and who it was who would betray him.
He said, “For this cause have I said to you
that no one can come to me,
unless it is given to them by my Father.”
At this, many of his disciples went back,
and walked no more with him.
Jesus said therefore to the Twelve,
“You do not also want to go away, do you?”
Simon Peter answered him,
“Lord, to whom would we go?
You have the words of eternal life.
We have come to believe and know

Jesus said to the crowds:
I am the living bread which came down from heaven.
If anyone eats of this bread, he will live forever.
Yes, the bread which I will give
Is my flesh for the life of the world.”
The Jews argued with one another, saying,
“How can this one give us his flesh to eat?”
So Jesus said to them,
“Amen, amen, I tell you,
unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Human
and drink his blood,
you do not have life within you.
The one who eats my flesh and drinks my blood
has eternal life, and I will raise them up on the last day.
For my flesh is food indeed, and my blood is drink indeed.
The one who eats my flesh and drinks my blood
lives in me and I in them.
As the living Father sent me, and I live because of the Father;

He said, “This is enough, O Lord.
Take away my life,
for I am no better than my fathers.”
He lay down and slept under the broom tree,
and behold, an angel touched him
and said to him, “Arise and eat!”
He looked, and behold,
there was at his head a cake baked on the coals,
and a jar of water.
He ate and drank, and lay down again.
The angel of the Lord came again a second time,

This is the bread which comes down from heaven,
that anyone may eat of it and not die.
I am the living bread which came down from heaven.
If anyone eats of this bread, he will live forever.
Yes, the bread which I will give
Is my flesh for the life of the world.”
