November 7 Readings 1st Reading: Phil 3:17- 4:1 Unite in imitating me, brothers and sisters, and look at those who walk in our way of w. For many live as enemies of the cross of Christ. I have said it to you many times, and now I repeat it with tears: they are heading for ruin; their belly is their god, and they feel proud of what should be their shame. They only think of earthly things. For us, our citizenship is in heaven, from where we await the coming of our Savior, Jesus Christ, the Lord. He will transfigure our lowly body, making it like his own body, radiant in glory, through the power which is his, to submit everything to himself. Therefore, my brothers and sisters, whom I love and long for, you, my glory and crown, be steadfast in the Lord. Ps 122: Let us go rejoicing to the house of the Lord. 1-2: I rejoiced with those who said to me. Let us go to the house of the Lord! And now we have set foot within your gates, O Jerusalem! 3-4ab: Jerusalem, built as a city, well planned for defense! There the tribes go up. The tribes of the Lord. 4cd-5: to give thanks to the Lords name, as was decreed in Israel. There stands the courts of justice where judgment is given by the servants of David. Gospel: Lk 16:9-15 Jesus said to his disciples, And so I tell you: use filthy money to make friends for yourselves, so that, when it falls, these people may welcome you into the eternal homes. Whoever can be trusted in little things can also be trusted in great ones; whoever is dishonest in slight matters will also be dishonest in greater ones. So if you have been dishonest in handling filthy money, who would entrust you with true wealth? And if you have been dishonest with things that are not really yours, who will give you that wealth which is truly your own? Ne servant can serve two masters. Either he does not like the one and is fond of the other, or he regards one highly and the other with contempt. You cannot give yourself both to God and to Money. The Pharisees, who loved money, heard all this and sneered at Jesus. He said to them, You do your best to be considered righteous by people. But God knows the heart, and what is highly esteemed by human beings is loathed by God.
