Weekday
First Reading
Ephesians 2:12-22
12remember that you were at that time separated from Christ, alienated from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers to the covenants of promise, having no hope and without God in the world.
13But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far off have been brought near in the blood of Christ.
14For he is our peace, who has made us both one, and has broken down the dividing wall of hostility,
15by abolishing in his flesh the law of commandments and ordinances, that he might create in himself one new man in place of the two, so making peace,
16and might reconcile us both to God in one body through the cross, thereby bringing the hostility to an end.
17And he came and preached peace to you who were far off and peace to those who were near;
18for through him we both have access in one Spirit to the Father.
19So then you are no longer strangers and sojourners, but you are fellow citizens with the saints and members of the household of God,
20built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Christ Jesus himself being the cornerstone,
21in whom the whole structure is joined together and grows into a holy temple in the Lord;
22in whom you also are built into it for a dwelling place of God in the Spirit.
Responsorial Psalm
Psalms 85:9-14
8Let me hear what God the LORD will speak, for he will speak peace to his people, to his saints, to those who turn to him in their hearts.
9Surely his salvation is at hand for those who fear him, that glory may dwell in our land.
10Steadfast love and faithfulness will meet; righteousness and peace will kiss each other.
11Faithfulness will spring up from the ground, and righteousness will look down from the sky.
12Yea, the LORD will give what is good, and our land will yield its increase.
13Righteousness will go before him, and make his footsteps a way.
Gospel
Luke 12:35-38
35"Let your loins be girded and your lamps burning,
36and be like men who are waiting for their master to come home from the marriage feast, so that they may open to him at once when he comes and knocks.
37Blessed are those servants whom the master finds awake when he comes; truly, I say to you, he will gird himself and have them sit at table, and he will come and serve them.
38If he comes in the second watch, or in the third, and finds them so, blessed are those servants!
