Weekday
First Reading
Romans 8:18-25
18I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worth comparing with the glory that is to be revealed to us.
19For the creation waits with eager longing for the revealing of the sons of God;
20for the creation was subjected to futility, not of its own will but by the will of him who subjected it in hope;
21because the creation itself will be set free from its bondage to decay and obtain the glorious liberty of the children of God.
22We know that the whole creation has been groaning in travail together until now;
23and not only the creation, but we ourselves, who have the first fruits of the Spirit, groan inwardly as we wait for adoption as sons, the redemption of our bodies.
24For in this hope we were saved. Now hope that is seen is not hope. For who hopes for what he sees?
25But if we hope for what we do not see, we wait for it with patience.
Responsorial Psalm
Psalms 126:1-6
1When the LORD restored the fortunes of Zion, we were like those who dream.
2Then our mouth was filled with laughter, and our tongue with shouts of joy; then they said among the nations, "The LORD has done great things for them."
3The LORD has done great things for us; we are glad.
4Restore our fortunes, O LORD, like the watercourses in the Negeb!
5May those who sow in tears reap with shouts of joy!
6He that goes forth weeping, bearing the seed for sowing, shall come home with shouts of joy, bringing his sheaves with him.
Gospel
Luke 13:18-21
18He said therefore, "What is the kingdom of God like? And to what shall I compare it?
19It is like a grain of mustard seed which a man took and sowed in his garden; and it grew and became a tree, and the birds of the air made nests in its branches."
20And again he said, "To what shall I compare the kingdom of God?
21It is like leaven which a woman took and hid in three measures of flour, till it was all leavened."
