First Reading

Philippians 4:10-19

How to approach it

Read this as the first big movement of the day. Notice what God is doing, who is speaking, and what part of the story or teaching should stay with you.

4:10Now I rejoice in the Lord exceedingly, that now at length your thought for me has flourished again, as you did also think; but you were busied.

11I speak not as it were for want. For I have learned, in whatever state I am, to be content with it.

12I know both how to be brought low, and I know how to abound: (everywhere, and in all things I am instructed) both to be full, and to be hungry; both to abound, and to suffer need.

13I can do all these things in him who strengtheneth me.

14Nevertheless you have done well in communicating to my trouble.

15And you also know, O Philippians, that in the beginning of the gospel, when I departed from Macedonia, no church communicated with me as concerning giving and receiving, but you only:

16For to Thessalonica also you sent once and again for my use.

17Not that I seek the gift, but I seek the fruit that may abound to your account.

18But I have all, and abound: I am satisfied, having received from Epaphroditus the things you sent, an odour of sweetness, an acceptable sacrifice, pleasing to God.

19And may my God supply all your want, according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus.

Psalm

Psalm 112:1b-2, 5-6, 8a, 9

How to pray it

The psalm is meant to be prayed, not rushed. If the wording feels older, focus on the main movement of the prayer: trust, praise, sorrow, gratitude, or hope.

112:1Blessed is the person who feareth the Lord: he shall delight exceedingly in his commands.

2His offspring shall be mighty upon earth: the generation of the righteous shall be blessed.

5Acceptable is the man that shows mercy and lendeth: he shall order his words with judgment:

6because he shall not be moved forever.

8his heart is strengthened, he shall not be moved until he look over his enemies.

9He has distributed, he has given to the poor: his righteousness remaineth forever and ever: his horn shall be exalted in glory.

Gospel

Luke 16:9-15

What to watch for

The Gospel is the center of the reading set. Pay close attention to what Jesus says, what Jesus does, and what response he is asking for.

16:9And I say to you: Make to you friends of the mammon of sin; that when you shall fail, they may receive you into eternal dwellings.

10He that is faithful in that which is least, is faithful also in that which is greater: and he that is unjust in that which is little, is unjust also in that which is greater.

11If then you have not been faithful in the unjust mammon; who will trust you with that which is the true?

12And if you have not been faithful in that which is another's; who will give you that which is your own?

13No servant can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or he will hold to the one, and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon.

14Now the Pharisees, who were covetous, heard all these things: and they derided him.

15And he said to them: You are they who justify yourselves before men, but God knows your hearts; for that which is high to men, is an abomination before God.

How the readings move through Mass today

The Liturgy of the Word normally moves from the first reading to the psalm, then to the second reading when one is appointed, then to the Gospel, and then into the homily. On weekday Masses, the second reading is often omitted, so the Church moves from the psalm directly to the Gospel.

1

First Reading

Philippians 4:10-19

The first reading is usually taken from the Old Testament. It prepares the heart to hear how God has been acting through his covenant and promises.

2

Psalm

Psalm 112:1b-2, 5-6, 8a, 9

The psalm is the Church’s prayerful response to the first reading. It helps the congregation answer God’s word with trust, praise, repentance, or hope.

3

Second Reading

Usually omitted today

There is no second reading at many weekday Masses. On days like this, the liturgy moves from the psalm directly to the Gospel.

4

Gospel

Luke 16:9-15

The Gospel is the high point of the Liturgy of the Word. Catholics stand because Christ himself speaks to his people in a special way through the Gospel proclamation.

5

Homily

After the Gospel

The homily follows the Gospel. It should gather the day’s readings together, explain the mystery being celebrated, and help people carry the word of God into ordinary life.

What the homily usually draws together

A Catholic homily usually gathers the first reading, the psalm, and the Gospel into one spiritual movement. It may explain how the Old Testament prepares for Christ, how the apostles witness to the risen Lord, how the psalm teaches the Church to pray, and how the Gospel calls for faith and conversion now.

If you are preparing before Mass, try to carry one sentence, one image, or one invitation from the readings with you. That usually makes the homily easier to follow because you already know what part of God's word has stayed with you.

What about the Prayers of the Faithful for Saturday November 7, 2026?

The Prayers of the Faithful are usually written locally by a parish, diocese, or celebrant, so there is not always one universal text for this exact day. The scriptural readings above are the stable part the whole Church receives, and they usually shape the petitions that follow at Mass.
