Catholic Jerusalem Bible Daily Reading for Tuesday, November 11th, 2014 Reading 1, (Titus 2:1-8, 11-14) “1 It is for you, then, to preach the behavior which goes with healthy doctrine. 2 Older men should be reserved, dignified, moderate, sounds in faith and love and perseverance. 3 Similarly, older women should behave as befits religious people, with no scandal-mongering and no addiction to wine -- they must be the teachers of right behavior 4 and show younger women how they should love their husbands and love their children, 5 how they must be sensible and chaste, and how to work in their homes, and be gentle, and obey their husbands, so, that the “Message of God” is not disgraced. 6 Similarly, urge younger men to be moderate in everything that they do, 7 and you yourself set an example of good works, by sincerity and earnestness, when you are teaching, and by a message sound and irreproachable 8 so, that any opponent will be at a loss, with no accusation to make, against, us. 11 You see, Gods grace has been revealed to save the whole human race; 12 it has taught us that we should give up everything contrary to true religion and all our worldly passions; we must be self-restrained and live upright and religious lives in this present world, 13 waiting in hope for the blessing which will come with the appearing of the glory of our great ‘living, and loving,’ “God” and “Savior, Christ Jesus.” 14 He offered himself for us in order to ransom us from all our faults and to purify a people to be his very own and eager to do good.” (Titus 2:1-8, 11-14) Responsorial Psalm, (Psalms 37:3-4, 18, 23, 27, 29) “3 Put your trust in “Yahweh,” your ‘living, and loving,’ “God,” and do right, make your home in the land and live secure. 4 Make “God Yahweh” your joy, and he will give you your hearts desires. 18 The lives of the just are in Yahwehs care, their birthright will endure for ever; 23 Yahweh guides a strong mans steps, and keeps them firm; and takes pleasure in him. 27 Turn your back on evil, and do good, you will have a home for ever, 29 but the upright shall have the land for their own, there they shall live for ever.” (Psalms 37:3-4, 18, 23, 27, 29) Gospel, (Luke 17:7-10) “7 Which of you, with a servant ploughing or minding sheep, would say to him when he returned from the fields, Come and have your meal at once? 8 Would he not be more likely to say, Get my supper ready; fasten your belt and wait on me while I eat and drink. You yourself can eat and drink afterwards? 9 Must he be grateful to the servant for doing what he was told? 10 So with you: when you have done all you have been told to do, say, We are useless servants: we have done no more than our duty. ” (Luke 17:7-10)
