First Reading

Titus 3:1-7

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.

3:1Admonish them to be subject to leaders and powers, to obey at a word, to be ready to every good work.

2To speak evil of no man, not to be litigious, but gentle: shewing all mildness towards all men.

3For we ourselves also were some time unwise, incredulous, erring, slaves to divers desires and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful, and hating one another.

4But when the goodness and kindness of God our Savior appeared:

5Not by the works of righteousness, which we have done, but according to his mercy, he saved us, by the laver of regeneration, and renovation of the Holy Ghost;

6Whom he has poured forth upon us abundantly, through Jesus Christ our Savior:

7That, being justified by his grace, we may be heirs, according to hope of life eternal.

Psalm

Psalm 23:1b-3a, 3bc-4, 5, 6

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.

23:1A psalm for David. The Lord ruleth me: and I shall want nothing.

2He has set me in a place of pasture. He has brought me up, on the water of refreshment:

3he has converted my soul. He has led me on the paths of righteousness, for his own name's sake.

4For though I should walk in the midst of the shadow of death, I will fear no evils, for you are with me. Your rod and your staff, they have comforted me.

5You have prepared a table before me against them that afflict me. You have anointed my head with oil; and my chalice which inebriateth me, how goodly is it!

6And your mercy will follow me all the days of my life. And that I may dwell in the house of the Lord to length of days.

Gospel

Luke 17:11-19

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.

17:11And it happened, as he was going to Jerusalem, he passed through the midst of Samaria and Galilee.

12And as he entered into a certain town, there met him ten men that were lepers, who stood afar off;

13And lifted up their voice, saying: Jesus, master, have mercy on us.

14Whom when he saw, he said: Go, show yourselves to the priests. And it happened, as they went, they were made clean.

15And one of them, when he saw that he was made clean, went back, with a loud voice glorifying God.

16And he fell on his face before his feet, giving thanks: and this was a Samaritan.

17And Jesus answering, said, Were not ten made clean? and where are the nine?

18There is no one found to return and give glory to God, but this stranger.

19And he said to him: Arise, go your way; for your faith has made you whole.

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

Titus 3:1-7

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 23:1b-3a, 3bc-4, 5, 6

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 17:11-19

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 Wednesday November 11, 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.

Source note

The day's references and liturgical celebration data come from the Catholic Readings API, while the on-site scripture text is rendered from public-domain Douay-Rheims sources so the day's readings can be read directly on the page.
