First Reading

Ephesians 5:21-33

21Be subject to one another out of reverence for Christ.

22Wives, be subject to your husbands, as to the Lord.

23For the husband is the head of the wife as Christ is the head of the church, his body, and is himself its Savior.

24As the church is subject to Christ, so let wives also be subject in everything to their husbands.

25Husbands, love your wives, as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her,

26that he might sanctify her, having cleansed her by the washing of water with the word,

27that he might present the church to himself in splendor, without spot or wrinkle or any such thing, that she might be holy and without blemish.

28Even so husbands should love their wives as their own bodies. He who loves his wife loves himself.

29For no man ever hates his own flesh, but nourishes and cherishes it, as Christ does the church,

30because we are members of his body.

31“For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh.”

32This is a great mystery, and I mean in reference to Christ and the church;

33however, let each one of you love his wife as himself, and let the wife see that she respects her husband.

Responsorial Psalm

Psalms 128:1-5

1Blessed is every one who fears the LORD, who walks in his ways!

2You shall eat the fruit of the labor of your hands; you shall be happy, and it shall be well with you.

3Your wife will be like a fruitful vine within your house; your children will be like olive shoots around your table.

4Lo, thus shall the man be blessed who fears the LORD.

5The LORD bless you from Zion! May you see the prosperity of Jerusalem all the days of your life!

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 meal, till it was all leavened.”
