First Reading

3 John 5-8

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.

1:5Dearly beloved, you do faithfully whatever you do for the brothers and sisters, and that for strangers,

6Who have given teaching to your charity before the church: whom you shall do well to bring forward on their way in a manner worthy of God.

7Because, for his name they went out, taking nothing of the Gentiles.

8We therefore ought to receive such, that we may be fellow helpers of the truth.

Psalm

Psalm 112:1-2, 3-4, 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.

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.

3Glory and wealth shall be in his house: and his righteousness remaineth forever and ever.

4To the righteous a light is risen up in darkness: he is merciful, and compassionate and righteous.

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

6because he shall not be moved forever.

Gospel

Luke 18:1-8

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.

18:1And he spoke also a parable to them, that we ought always to pray, and not to faint,

2Saying: There was a judge in a certain city, who feared not God, nor regarded man.

3And there was a certain widow in that city, and she came to him, saying: Avenge me of my adversary.

4And he would not for a long time. But afterwards he said within himself: Although I fear not God, nor regard man,

5Yet because this widow is troublesome to me, I will avenge her, lest continually coming she weary me.

6And the Lord said: Hear what the unjust judge says.

7And will not God revenge his elect who cry to him day and night: and will he have patience in their regard?

8I say to you, that he will quickly revenge them. But yet the Son of Man, when he comes, shall he find, think you, faith on earth?

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.

First Reading

3 John 5-8

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.

Psalm

Psalm 112:1-2, 3-4, 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.

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.

Gospel

Luke 18:1-8

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.

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 14, 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.
