Titus 3:1-7
1Remind them to be submissive to rulers and authorities, to be obedient, to be ready for any honest work,
2to speak evil of no one, to avoid quarreling, to be gentle, and to show perfect courtesy toward all men.
3For we ourselves were once foolish, disobedient, led astray, slaves to various passions and pleasures, passing our days in malice and envy, hated by men and hating one another;
4but when the goodness and loving kindness of God our Savior appeared,
5he saved us, not because of deeds done by us in righteousness, but in virtue of his own mercy, by the washing of regeneration and renewal in the Holy Spirit,
6which he poured out upon us richly through Jesus Christ our Savior,
7so that we might be justified by his grace and become heirs in hope of eternal life.
Responsorial Psalm
Psalms 23:1-6
1The LORD is my shepherd, I shall not want;
2he makes me lie down in green pastures. He leads me beside still waters;
3he restores my soul. He leads me in paths of righteousness for his name’s sake.
4Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I fear no evil; for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff, they comfort me.
5Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of my enemies; thou anointest my head with oil, my cup overflows.
6Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life; and I shall dwell in the house of the LORD for ever.
Gospel
Luke 17:11-19
11On the way to Jerusalem he was passing along between Samarʹia and Galilee.
12And as he entered a village, he was met by ten lepers, who stood at a distance
13and lifted up their voices and said, “Jesus, Master, have mercy on us.”
14When he saw them he said to them, “Go and show yourselves to the priests.” And as they went they were cleansed.
15Then one of them, when he saw that he was healed, turned back, praising God with a loud voice;
16and he fell on his face at Jesus’ feet, giving him thanks. Now he was a Samaritan.
17Then said Jesus, “Were not ten cleansed? Where are the nine?
18Was no one found to return and give praise to God except this foreigner?”
19And he said to him, “Rise and go your way; your faith has made you well.”

Romans 8:31-39
31What then shall we say to this? If God is for us, who is against us?
32He who did not spare his own Son but gave him up for us all, will he not also give us all things with him?
33Who shall bring any charge against God’s elect? It is God who justifies;
34who is to condemn? Is it Christ Jesus, who died, yes, who was raised from the dead, who is at the right hand of God, who indeed intercedes for us?
35Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?
36As it is written, “For thy sake we are being killed all the day long; we are regarded as sheep to be slaughtered.”
37No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us.
38For I am sure that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers,
39nor height, nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Responsorial Psalm
Psalms 31:3-4, 6-8, 17, 21
2Incline thy ear to me, rescue me speedily! Be thou a rock of refuge for me, a strong fortress to save me!
3Yea, thou art my rock and my fortress; for thy name’s sake lead me and guide me,
5Into thy hand I commit my spirit; thou hast redeemed me, O LORD, faithful God.
6Thou hatest those who pay regard to vain idols; but I trust in the LORD.
7I will rejoice and be glad for thy steadfast love, because thou hast seen my affliction, thou hast taken heed of my adversities,
16Let thy face shine on thy servant; save me in thy steadfast love!
20In the covert of thy presence thou hidest them from the plots of men; thou holdest them safe under thy shelter from the strife of tongues.
Gospel
Matthew 10:28-33
28And do not fear those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul; rather fear him who can destroy both soul and body in hell.
29Are not two sparrows sold for a penny? And not one of them will fall to the ground without your Father’s will.
30But even the hairs of your head are all numbered.
31Fear not, therefore; you are of more value than many sparrows.
32So every one who acknowledges me before men, I also will acknowledge before my Father who is in heaven;
33but whoever denies me before men, I also will deny before my Father who is in heaven.
