Daily Mass Readings for October 25 2023, Wednesday of the Twenty-ninth Week in Ordinary Time
1st Reading – Romans 6:12-18
Brothers and sisters:
12 Let not sin reign in your mortal body, such that you would obey its desires.
13 Nor should you offer the parts of your body as instruments of iniquity for sin. Instead, offer yourselves to God, as if you were living after death, and offer the parts of your body as instruments of justice for God.
14 For sin should not have dominion over you. For you are not under the law, but under grace.
15 What is next? Should we sin because we are not under the law, but under grace? Let it not be so!
16 Do you not know to whom you are offering yourselves as servants under obedience? You are the servants of whomever you obey: whether of sin, unto death, or of obedience, unto justice.
17 But thanks be to God that, though you used to be the servants of sin, now you have been obedient from the heart to the very form of the doctrine into which you have been received.
18 And having been freed from sin, we have become servants of justice.
Responsorial Psalm – Psalms 124:1B-3, 4-6, 7-8
R. (8a) Our help is in the name of the Lord.
1B Had not the LORD been with us,
let Israel say, had not the LORD been with us–
2 When men rose up against us,
then would they have swallowed us alive;
3 When their fury was inflamed against us.
R. Our help is in the name of the Lord.
4 Then would the waters have overwhelmed us;
5 The torrent would have swept over us;
over us then would have swept the raging waters.
6 Blessed be the LORD, who did not leave us
a prey to their teeth.
R. Our help is in the name of the Lord.
7 We were rescued like a bird
from the fowlers’ snare;
Broken was the snare,
and we were freed.
8 Our help is in the name of the LORD,
who made heaven and earth.
R. Our help is in the name of the Lord.
Alleluia – Matthew 24:42A, 44
R. Alleluia, alleluia.
42A Stay awake!
44 For you do not know when the Son of Man will come.
R. Alleluia, alleluia.
Gospel – Luke 12:39-48
Jesus said to his disciples:
39 “Be sure of this: if the master of the house had known the hour when the thief was coming, he would not have let his house be broken into.
40 You also must be prepared, for at an hour you do not expect, the Son of Man will come.”
41 Then Peter said, “Lord, is this parable meant for us or for everyone?”
42 And the Lord replied, “Who, then, is the faithful and prudent steward whom the master will put in charge of his servants to distribute the food allowance at the proper time?
43 Blessed is that servant whom his master on arrival finds doing so.
44 Truly, I say to you, he will put him in charge of all his property.
45 But if that servant says to himself, ‘My master is delayed in coming,’ and begins to beat the menservants and the maidservants, to eat and drink and get drunk,
46 then that servant’s master will come on an unexpected day and at an unknown hour and will punish the servant severely and assign him a place with the unfaithful.
47 That servant who knew his master’s will but did not make preparations nor act in accord with his will shall be beaten severely;
48 and the servant who was ignorant of his master’s will but acted in a way deserving of a severe beating shall be beaten only lightly. Much will be required of the person entrusted with much, and still more will be demanded of the person entrusted with more.”
