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.

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.

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.

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.
