Romans 12:5-16
(5) so also we, being many, are one body in Christ, and each one is a part, the one of the other (6) And we each have different gifts, according to the grace that has been given to us: whether prophecy, in agreement with the reasonableness of faith (7) or ministry, in ministering; or he who teaches, in doctrine (8) he who exhorts, in exhortation; he who gives, in simplicity; he who governs, in solicitude; he who shows mercy, in cheerfulness (9) Let love be without falseness: hating evil, clinging to what is good (10) loving one another with fraternal charity, surpassing one another in honor (11) in solicitude, not lazy; in spirit, fervent; serving the Lord (12) in hope, rejoicing; in tribulation, enduring; in prayer, ever-willing (13) in the difficulties of the saints, sharing; in hospitality, attentive (14) Bless those who are persecuting you: bless, and do not curse (15) Rejoice with those who are rejoicing. Weep with those who are weeping (16) Be of the same mind toward one another: not savoring what is exalted, but consenting in humility. Do not choose to seem wise to yourself
Psalms 131:1-3
(1) A Canticle in steps. O Lord, remember David and all his meekness (2) how he swore to the Lord, how he made a vow to the God of Jacob (3) I shall not enter into the tabernacle of my house, nor climb into the bed where I lie down
Luke 14:15-24
(15) When someone sitting at table with him had heard these things, he said to him, “Blessed is he who will eat bread in the kingdom of God. (16) So he said to him: “A certain man prepared a great feast, and he invited many (17) And he sent his servant, at the hour of the feast, to tell the invited to come; for now everything was ready (18) And at once they all began to make excuses. The first said to him: ‘I bought a farm, and I need to go out and see it. I ask you to excuse me. (19) And another said: ‘I bought five yoke of oxen, and I am going to examine them. I ask you to excuse me. (20) And another said, ‘I have taken a wife, and therefore I am not able to go. (21) And returning, the servant reported these things to his lord. Then the father of the family, becoming angry, said to his servant: ‘Go out quickly into the streets and neighborhoods of the city. And lead here the poor, and the disabled, and the blind, and the lame. (22) And the servant said: ‘It has been done, just as you ordered, lord, and there is still room. (23) And the lord said to the servant: ‘Go out to the highways and hedges, and compel them to enter, so that my house may be filled (24) For I tell you, that none of those men who were invited will taste of my feast.’
