Romans 13:8-10
8Owe no one anything, except to love one another; for he who loves his neighbor has fulfilled the law.
9The commandments, “You shall not commit adultery, You shall not kill, You shall not steal, You shall not covet,” and any other commandment, are summed up in this sentence, “You shall love your neighbor as yourself.”
10Love does no wrong to a neighbor; therefore love is the fulfilling of the law.
Responsorial Psalm
Psalms 112:1-2, 4-5, 9
1Praise the LORD! Blessed is the man who fears the LORD, who greatly delights in his commandments!
2His descendants will be mighty in the land; the generation of the upright will be blessed.
4Light rises in the darkness for the upright; the LORD is gracious, merciful, and righteous.
5It is well with the man who deals generously and lends, who conducts his affairs with justice.
9He has distributed freely, he has given to the poor; his righteousness endures for ever; his horn is exalted in honor.
Gospel
Luke 14:25-33
25Now great multitudes accompanied him; and he turned and said to them,
26“If any one comes to me and does not hate his own father and mother and wife and children and brothers and sisters, yes, and even his own life, he cannot be my disciple.
27Whoever does not bear his own cross and come after me, cannot be my disciple.
28For which of you, desiring to build a tower, does not first sit down and count the cost, whether he has enough to complete it?
29Otherwise, when he has laid a foundation, and is not able to finish, all who see it begin to mock him,
30saying, ‘This man began to build, and was not able to finish.’
31Or what king, going to encounter another king in war, will not sit down first and take counsel whether he is able with ten thousand to meet him who comes against him with twenty thousand?
32And if not, while the other is yet a great way off, he sends an embassy and asks terms of peace.
33So therefore, whoever of you does not renounce all that he has cannot be my disciple.

Philippians 4:4-9
4Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, Rejoice.
5Let all men know your forbearance. The Lord is at hand.
6Have no anxiety about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God.
7And the peace of God, which passes all understanding, will keep your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
8Finally, brethren, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is gracious, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things.
9What you have learned and received and heard and seen in me, do; and the God of peace will be with you.
Responsorial Psalm
Psalms 131:1-3
1O LORD, my heart is not lifted up, my eyes are not raised too high; I do not occupy myself with things too great and too marvelous for me.
2But I have calmed and quieted my soul, like a child quieted at its mother’s breast; like a child that is quieted is my soul.
3O Israel, hope in the LORD from this time forth and for evermore.
Gospel
Matthew 22:34-40
34But when the Pharisees heard that he had silenced the Sadʹducees, they came together.
35And one of them, a lawyer, asked him a question, to test him.
36“Teacher, which is the great commandment in the law?”
37And he said to him, “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind.
38This is the great and first commandment.
39And a second is like it, You shall love your neighbor as yourself.
40On these two commandments depend all the law and the prophets.”
