Daily Mass Readings for October 20 2023, Friday of the Twenty-eighth Week in Ordinary Time

1st Reading – Romans 4:1-8

Brothers and sisters:
1 What shall we say that Abraham had achieved, who is our father according to the flesh?

2 For if Abraham was justified by works, he would have glory, but not with God.

3 For what does Scripture say? “Abram believed God, and it was reputed to him unto justice.”

4 But for he who works, wages are not accounted according to grace, but according to debt.

5 Yet truly, for he who does not work, but who believes in him who justifies the impious, his faith is reputed unto justice, according to the purpose of the grace of God.

6 Similarly, David also declares the blessedness of a man, to whom God brings justice without works:

7 “Blessed are they whose iniquities have been forgiven and whose sins have been covered.

8 Blessed is the man to whom the Lord has not imputed sin.”

Responsorial Psalm – Psalms 32:1B-2, 5, 11

R. (see 7) I turn to you, Lord, in time of trouble, and you fill me with the joy of salvation.

1B Blessed is he whose fault is taken away,
whose sin is covered.
2 Blessed the man to whom the LORD imputes not guilt,
in whose spirit there is no guile.
R. I turn to you, Lord, in time of trouble, and you fill me with the joy of salvation.

5 Then I acknowledged my sin to you,
my guilt I covered not.
I said, “I confess my faults to the LORD,”
and you took away the guilt of my sin.
R. I turn to you, Lord, in time of trouble, and you fill me with the joy of salvation.

11 Be glad in the LORD and rejoice, you just;
exult, all you upright of heart.
R. I turn to you, Lord, in time of trouble, and you fill me with the joy of salvation.

Alleluia – Psalms 33:22

R. Alleluia, alleluia.
22 May your kindness, O LORD, be upon us;
who have put our hope in you.
R. Alleluia, alleluia.

Gospel – Luke 12:1-7

1 At that time: So many people were crowding together that they were trampling one another underfoot. Jesus began to speak, first to his disciples,
“Beware of the leaven–that is, the hypocrisy–of the Pharisees.

2 “There is nothing concealed that will not be revealed, nor secret that will not be known.

3 Therefore whatever you have said in the darkness will be heard in the light, and what you have whispered behind closed doors will be proclaimed on the housetops.

4 I tell you, my friends, do not be afraid of those who kill the body but after that can do no more.

5 I shall show you whom to fear. Be afraid of the one who after killing has the power to cast into Gehenna; yes, I tell you, be afraid of that one.

6 Are not five sparrows sold for two small coins? Yet not one of them has escaped the notice of God.

7 Even the hairs of your head have all been counted. Do not be afraid. You are worth more than many sparrows.”
