Reading 1, Philippians 2:5-11

⁵ Make your own the mind of Christ Jesus:

⁶ Who, being in the form of God, did not count equality with God something to be grasped.

⁷ But he emptied himself, taking the form of a slave, becoming as human beings are; and being in every way like a human being,

⁸ he was humbler yet, even to accepting death, death on a cross.

⁹ And for this God raised him high, and gave him the name which is above all other names;

¹⁰ so that all beings in the heavens, on earth and in the underworld, should bend the knee at the name of Jesus

¹¹ and that every tongue should acknowledge Jesus Christ as Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

Responsorial Psalm, Psalms 22:26-27, 28-30, 31-32

²⁶ The poor will eat and be filled, those who seek Yahweh will praise him, 'May your heart live for ever.'

²⁷ The whole wide world will remember and return to Yahweh, all the families of nations bow down before him.

²⁸ For to Yahweh, ruler of the nations, belongs kingly power!

²⁹ All who prosper on earth will bow before him, all who go down to the dust will do reverence before him. And those who are dead,

³⁰ their descendants will serve him, will proclaim his name to generations

³¹ still to come; and these will tell of his saving justice to a people yet unborn: he has fulfilled it.

Gospel, Luke 14:15-24

¹⁵ On hearing this, one of those gathered round the table said to him, 'Blessed is anyone who will share the meal in the kingdom of God!'

¹⁶ But he said to him, 'There was a man who gave a great banquet, and he invited a large number of people.

¹⁷ When the time for the banquet came, he sent his servant to say to those who had been invited, "Come along: everything is ready now."

¹⁸ But all alike started to make excuses. The first said, "I have bought a piece of land and must go and see it. Please accept my apologies."

¹⁹ Another said, "I have bought five yoke of oxen and am on my way to try them out. Please accept my apologies."

²⁰ Yet another said, "I have just got married and so am unable to come."

²¹ 'The servant returned and reported this to his master. Then the householder, in a rage, said to his servant, "Go out quickly into the streets and alleys of the town and bring in here the poor, the crippled, the blind and the lame."

²² "Sir," said the servant, "your orders have been carried out and there is still room."

²³ Then the master said to his servant, "Go to the open roads and the hedgerows and press people to come in, to make sure my house is full;

²⁴ because, I tell you, not one of those who were invited shall have a taste of my banquet." '
