First reading
Philippians 2:5-11
Christ humbled himself
but God raised him high
In your minds you must be
the same as Christ Jesus:
His state was divine,
yet he did not cling
to his equality with God
but emptied himself
to assume the condition
of a slave,
and became as men are;
and being as all men are,
he was humbler yet,
even to accepting death,
death on a cross.
But God raised him high
and gave him the name
which is above all other
names
so that all beings in the
heavens,
on earth and in the
underworld,
should bend the knee at
the name of Jesus
and that every tongue
should acclaim
Jesus Christ as Lord,
to the glory of God the
Father.

Responsorial Psalm
Psalm 21(22):26-32
You are my praise, O
Lord, in the great assembly.
My vows I will pay before
those who fear the Lord.
The poor shall eat and shall have their
fill.
They shall praise the
Lord, those who seek him.
May their hearts live for ever and ever!
You are my praise, O
Lord, in the great assembly.
All the earth shall
remember and return to the Lord,
all families of the nations worship before
him;
for the kingdom is the Lord’s, he is ruler
of the nations.
They shall worship him,
all the mighty of the earth.
You are my praise, O
Lord, in the great assembly.
And my soul shall live
for him, my children serve him.
They shall tell of the Lord to generations
yet to come,
declare his faithfulness
to peoples yet unborn:
‘These things the Lord has done.’
You are my praise, O
Lord, in the great assembly.

Gospel
Luke 14:15-24
'Not one of those who
were invited shall have a taste of my banquet'
One of those gathered
round the table said to Jesus, ‘Happy the man who will be at the feast in the
kingdom of God!’ But he said to him, ‘There was a man who gave a great banquet,
and he invited a large number of people. When the time for the banquet came, he
sent his servant to say to those who had been invited, “Come along: everything
is ready now.” But all alike started to make excuses. The first said, “I have
bought a piece of land and must go and see it. Please accept my apologies.”
Another said, “I have bought five yoke of oxen and am on my way to try them
out. Please accept my apologies.” Yet another said, “I have just got married
and so am unable to come.”
‘The servant returned and reported this to
his master. Then the householder, in a rage, said to his servant, “Go out
quickly into the streets and alleys of the town and bring in here the poor, the
crippled, the blind and the lame.” “Sir” said the servant “your orders have been
carried out and there is still room.” Then the master said to his servant, “Go
to the open roads and the hedgerows and force people to come in to make sure my
house is full; because, I tell you, not one of those who were invited shall
have a taste of my banquet.”’
