1 Timothy 4:12-16Psalms 111:7-10Luke 7:36-50 1 Timothy 4:12-16(12) Let no one despise your youth, but be an example among the faithful in word, in behavior, in charity, in faith, in chastity (13) Until I arrive, attend to reading, to exhortation, and to doctrine (14) Do not be willing to neglect the grace that is within you, which was given to you through prophecy, with the imposition of the hands of the priesthood (15) Meditate on these things, so that your progress may be manifest to all (16) Pay attention to yourself and to doctrine. Pursue these things. For in doing so, you will save both yourself and those who listen to you Psalms 111:7-10(7) The just one will be an everlasting memorial. He will not fear a report of disasters. His heart is prepared to hope in the Lord (8) His heart has been confirmed. He will not be disturbed, until he looks down upon his enemies (9) He has distributed, he has given to the poor. His justice shall remain from age to age. His horn shall be exalted in glory (10) The sinner will see and become angry. He will gnash his teeth and waste away. The desire of sinners will perish Luke 7:36-50(36) Then certain Pharisees petitioned him, so that they might eat with him. And he went into the house of the Pharisee, and he reclined at table (37) And behold, a woman who was in the city, a sinner, found out that he was reclining at table in the house of the Pharisee, so she brought an alabaster container of ointment (38) And standing behind him, beside his feet, she began to wash his feet with tears, and she wiped them with the hair of her head, and she kissed his feet, and she anointed them with ointment (39) Then the Pharisee, who had invited him, upon seeing this, spoke within himself, saying, “This man, if he were a prophet, would certainly know who and what kind of woman is this, who is touching him: that she is a sinner. (40) And in response, Jesus said to him, “Simon, I have something to say to you.” So he said, “Speak, Teacher. (41) “A certain creditor had two debtors: one owed five hundred denarii, and the other fifty (42) And since they did not have the ability to repay him, he forgave them both. So then, which of them loves him more? (43) In response, Simon said, “I suppose that it is he to whom he forgave the most.” And he said to him, “You have judged correctly. (44) And turning to the woman, he said to Simon: “Do you see this woman? I entered into your house. You gave me no water for my feet. But she has washed my feet with tears, and has wiped them with her hair (45) You gave no kiss to me. But she, from the time that she entered, has not ceased to kiss my feet (46) You did not anoint my head with oil. But she has anointed my feet with ointment (47) Because of this, I tell you: many sins are forgiven her, because she has loved much. But he who is forgiven less, loves less. (48) Then he said to her, “Your sins are forgiven you. (49) And those who sat at table with him began to say within themselves, “Who is this, who even forgives sins?

1 Timothy 3:14-16Psalms 111:1-6Luke 7:31-35 1 Timothy 3:14-1614 I am writing these things to you, with the hope that I will come to you soon. 15 But, if I am delayed, you should know the manner in which it is necessary to conduct yourself in the house of God, which is the Church of the living God, the pillar and the foundation of truth. 16 And it is clearly great, this mystery of piety, which was manifested in the flesh, which was justified in the Spirit, which has appeared to Angels, which has been preached to the Gentiles, which is believed in the world, which has been taken up in glory. Psalms 111:1-61 Alleluia. I will confess to you, O Lord, with my whole heart, in the council of the just and in the congregation. 2 Great are the works of the Lord, exquisite in all his intentions. 3 Confession and magnificence are his work. And his justice remains from age to age. 4 He has created a memorial to his wonders; he is a merciful and compassionate Lord. 5 He has given food to those who fear him. He will be mindful of his covenant in every age. 6 He will announce the virtue of his works to his people, Luke 7:31-3531 Then the Lord said: “Therefore, to what shall I compare the men of this generation? And to what are they similar? 32 They are like children sitting in the marketplace, talking with one another, and saying: ‘We sang to you, and you did not dance. We lamented, and you did not weep.’ 33 For John the Baptist came, neither eating bread nor drinking wine, and you say, ‘He has a demon.’ 34 The Son of man came, eating and drinking, and you say, ‘Behold, a voracious man and a drinker of wine, a friend of tax collectors and of sinners.’ 35 But wisdom is justified by all her children.” Love MASS READINGS?Subscribe To Get The Daily Mass Readings Delivered Directly To Your Email.
