Wednesday of the Thirty-second week in Ordinary Time

First reading

Letter to Titus 3,1-7.

Beloved: Remind them to be under the control of magistrates and authorities, to be obedient, to be open to every good enterprise.
They are to slander no one, to be peaceable, considerate, exercising all graciousness toward everyone.
For we ourselves were once foolish, disobedient, deluded, slaves to various desires and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful ourselves and hating one another.
But when the kindness and generous love of God our savior appeared,
not because of any righteous deeds we had done but because of his mercy, he saved us through the bath of rebirth and renewal by the holy Spirit,
whom he richly poured out on us through Jesus Christ our savior,
so that we might be justified by his grace and become heirs in hope of eternal life.

Psalm

Psalms 23(22),1-3a.3b-4.5.6.

The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want.
In verdant pastures he gives me repose; 
beside restful waters he leads me;
he refreshes my soul. 

He guides me in right paths
for His names's sake.
Even though I walk in the dark valley 
I fear no evil; for you are at my side 
with your rod and your staff 
that give me courage.

You spread the table before me 
in the sight of my foes; 
You anoint my head with oil; 
my cup overflows.

Only goodness and kindness follow me 
all the days of my life; 
and I shall dwell in the house of the LORD 
for years to come.

Gospel

Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint Luke 17,11-19.

As Jesus continued his journey to Jerusalem, he traveled through Samaria and Galilee.
As he was entering a village, ten lepers met him. They stood at a distance from him
and raised their voice, saying, "Jesus, Master! Have pity on us!"
And when he saw them, he said, "Go show yourselves to the priests." As they were going they were cleansed.
And one of them, realizing he had been healed, returned, glorifying God in a loud voice;
and he fell at the feet of Jesus and thanked him. He was a Samaritan.
Jesus said in reply, "Ten were cleansed, were they not? Where are the other nine?
Has none but this foreigner returned to give thanks to God?"
Then he said to him, "Stand up and go; your faith has saved you."
