First Reading

Philippians 2:12-18

12Therefore, my beloved, as you have always obeyed, so now, not only as in my presence but much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling;

13for God is at work in you, both to will and to work for his good pleasure.

14Do all things without grumbling or questioning,

15that you may be blameless and innocent, children of God without blemish in the midst of a crooked and perverse generation, among whom you shine as lights in the world,

16holding fast the word of life, so that in the day of Christ I may be proud that I did not run in vain or labor in vain.

17Even if I am to be poured as a libation upon the sacrificial offering of your faith, I am glad and rejoice with you all.

18Likewise you also should be glad and rejoice with me.

Responsorial Psalm

Psalms 27:1, 4, 13-14

1The LORD is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? The LORD is the stronghold of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?

4One thing have I asked of the LORD, that will I seek after; that I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of the LORD, and to inquire in his temple.

13I believe that I shall see the goodness of the LORD in the land of the living!

14Wait for the LORD; be strong, and let your heart take courage; yea, wait for the LORD!

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.
