Martin de Porres, Religious
FIRST
READING:
Philippians 2:
1 - 4
1
If there be therefore any consolation in Christ, if any comfort of
charity, if any society of the spirit, if any bowels of
commiseration:
2
Fulfill ye my joy, that you may be of one mind, having the same
charity, being of one accord, agreeing in sentiment.
3
Let nothing be done through contention, neither by vain glory: but in
humility, let each esteem others better than themselves:
4
Each one not considering the things that are his own, but those that
are other men's.
PSALM:
Psalms 131:
1 - 3
1
Lord, my heart is not exalted: nor are my eyes lofty. Neither have I
walked in great matters, nor in wonderful things above me.
2
If I was not humbly minded, but exalted my soul: As a child that is
weaned is towards his mother, so reward in my soul.
3
Let Israel hope in the Lord, from henceforth now and for ever.
GOSPEL:
Luke 14:
12 - 14
12
And he said to him also that had invited him: When thou makest a
dinner or a supper, call not thy friends, nor thy brethren, nor thy
kinsmen, nor thy neighbours who are rich; lest perhaps they also
invite thee again, and a recompense be made to thee.
13
But when thou makest a feast, call the poor, the maimed, the lame,
and the blind;
14
And thou shalt be blessed, because they have not wherewith to make
thee recompense: for recompense shall be made thee at the
resurrection of the just.
