Luke 14:1-6

On a sabbath Jesus went to dine
   at the home of one of the leading Pharisees,
   and the people there were observing him carefully.
In front of him there was a man suffering from dropsy.
Jesus spoke to the scholars of the law and Pharisees in reply, asking,
   “Is it lawful to cure on the sabbath or not?”
But they kept silent; so he took the man and,
   after he had healed him, dismissed him.
Then he said to them
   “Who among you, if your son or ox falls into a cistern,
   would not immediately pull him out on the sabbath day?”
But they were unable to answer his question.

Luke 13:31-35

​Some Pharisees came to him and said,
   “Go away, leave this area because Herod wants to kill you.”
He replied, “Go and tell that fox,
   ‘Behold, I cast out demons and I perform healings today and tomorrow,
   and on the third day I accomplish my purpose.
Yet I must continue on my way today, tomorrow, and the following day,
   for it is impossible that a prophet should die
   outside of Jerusalem.’

“Jerusalem, Jerusalem,
   you who kill the prophets and stone those sent to you,
   how many times I yearned to gather your children together
   as a hen gathers her brood under her wings,
   but you were unwilling!
Behold, your house will be abandoned.
But I tell you, you will not see me until the time comes when you say,
   Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord.”

Luke 6:12-16
Feast of Saints Simon and Jude, apostles

​Jesus went up to the mountain to pray,
   and he spent the night in prayer to God.
When day came, he called his disciples to himself,
   and from them he chose Twelve, whom he also named Apostles:
   Simon, whom he named Peter, and his brother Andrew,
   James, John, Philip, Bartholomew, Matthew,
   Thomas, James the son of Alphaeus,
   Simon who was called a Zealot,
   and Judas the son of James,
   and Judas Iscariot, who became a traitor.

Luke 13:18-21

​Jesus said, “What is the Kingdom of God like?
   To what can I compare it?
It is like a mustard seed that a man took and planted in the garden.
When it was fully grown, it became a large bush
   and the birds of the sky dwelt in its branches.”

Again he said, “To what shall I compare the Kingdom of God?
It is like yeast that a woman took
   and mixed in with three measures of wheat flour
   until the whole batch of dough was leavened.”

Luke 13:10-17

​Jesus was teaching in a synagogue on the sabbath.
And a woman was there who for eighteen years
   had been crippled by a spirit;
   she was bent over, completely incapable of standing erect.
When Jesus saw her, he called to her and said,
   “Woman, you are set free of your infirmity.”
He laid his hands on her,
   and she at once stood up straight and glorified God.
But the leader of the synagogue,
   indignant that Jesus had cured on the sabbath,
   said to the crowd in reply,
   “There are six days when work should be done.
Come on those days to be cured, not on the sabbath day.”
The Lord said to him in reply, “Hypocrites!
Does not each one of you on the sabbath
   untie his ox or his ass from the manger
   and lead it out for watering?
This daughter of Abraham,
   whom Satan has bound for eighteen years now,
   ought she not to have been set free on the sabbath day
   from this bondage?”
When he said this, all his adversaries were humiliated;
   and the whole crowd rejoiced at all the splendid deeds done by him.”

Luke 13:1-19
Optional Memorial of Saint Anthony Mary Claret

Some people told Jesus about the Galileans
   whose blood Pilate had mingled with the blood of their sacrifices.
He said to them in reply,
   “Do you think that because these Galileans suffered in this way
   they were greater sinners than all other Galileans?
By no means!
But I tell you, if you do not repent,
   you will all perish as they did!
Or those eighteen people who were killed
   when the tower at Siloam fell on them--
   do you think they were more guilty
   than everyone else who lived in Jerusalem?
By no means!
But I tell you, if you do not repent,
   you will all perish as they did!”

And he told them this parable:
   “There once was a person who had a fig tree planted in his orchard,
   and when he came in search of fruit on it but found none,
   he said to the gardener,
   ‘For three years now I have come in search of fruit on this fig tree
   but have found none.
So cut it down.
Why should it exhaust the soil?’
He said to him in reply,
   ‘Sir, leave it for this year also,
   and I shall cultivate the ground around it and fertilize it;
   it may bear fruit in the future.
If not you can cut it down.’”

Luke 12:54-59
Optional Memorial of Saint John of Capistrano

​Jesus said to the crowds,
“When you see a cloud rising in the west
   you say immediately that it is going to rain–and so it does;
   and when you notice that the wind is blowing from the south
   you say that it is going to be hot–and so it is.
You hypocrites!
You know how to interpret the appearance of the earth and the sky;
   why do you not know how to interpret the present time?

“Why do you not judge for yourselves what is right?
If you are to go with your opponent before a magistrate,
   make an effort to settle the matter on the way;
   otherwise your opponent will turn you over to the judge,
   and the judge hand you over to the constable,
   and the constable throw you into prison.
I say to you, you will not be released
   until you have paid the last penny.”

Ephesians 3:14-21
Optional Memorial of Saint John Paul II
​
Brothers and sisters:
I kneel before the Father,
   from whom every family in heaven and on earth is named,
   that he may grant you in accord with the riches of his glory
   to be strengthened with power through his Spirit in the inner self,
   and that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith;
   that you, rooted and grounded in love,
   may have strength to comprehend with all the holy ones
   what is the breadth and length and height and depth,
   and to know the love of Christ that surpasses knowledge,
   so that you may be filled with all the fullness of God.

Now to him who is able to accomplish far more than all we ask or imagine,
   by the power at work within us,
   to him be glory in the Church and in Christ Jesus
   to all generations, forever and ever. Amen.

Luke 12:39-48

Jesus said to his disciples:
“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.
You also must be prepared,
   for at an hour you do not expect, the Son of Man will come.”

Then Peter said,
   “Lord, is this parable meant for us or for everyone?”
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?
Blessed is that servant whom his master on arrival finds doing so.
Truly, I say to you, he will put him
   in charge of all his property.
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,
   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.
That servant who knew his master’s will
   but did not make preparations nor act in accord with his will
   shall be beaten severely;
   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.”

Luke 12:35-38

​Jesus said to his disciples:
“Gird your loins and light your lamps
   and be like servants who await their master’s return from a wedding,
   ready to open immediately when he comes and knocks.
Blessed are those servants
   whom the master finds vigilant on his arrival.
Amen, I say to you, he will gird himself,
   have them recline at table, and proceed to wait on them.
And should he come in the second or third watch
   and find them prepared in this way,
   blessed are those servants.”
Preacher: Carol Uy
