First Reading
Romans 5:12, 15, 17-19, 20-21
Brethren:Just as sin came into the world through one man, and death through sin, and so death spread to all men because all sinned— If many died through one man’s trespass, much more have the grace of God and the free gift by the grace of that one man Jesus Christ abounded for many. For if, because of one man’s trespass, death reigned through that one man, much more will those who receive the abundance of grace and the free gift of righteousness reign in life through the one man Jesus Christ. Therefore, as one trespass led to condemnation for all men, so one act of righteousness leads to justification and life for all men. For as by the one man’s disobedience the many were made sinners, so by the one man’s obedience the many will be made righteous. Where sin increased, grace abounded all the more, so that, as sin reigned in death, grace also might reign through righteousness leading to eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

The word of the Lord.

Responsorial Psalm
Psalms 40:7-8, 8-9, 10, 17
R. See, I have come, Lord, to do your will.

You delight not in sacrifice and offerings, but in an open ear. You do not ask for holocaust and victim. Then I said, “See, I have come.”
R. See, I have come, Lord, to do your will.

In the scroll of the book it stands written of me: “I delight to do your will, O my God; your instruction lies deep within me.”
R. See, I have come, Lord, to do your will.

Your justice I have proclaimed in the great assembly. My lips I have not sealed; you know it, O Lord.
R. See, I have come, Lord, to do your will.

O let there be rejoicing and gladness for all who seek you. Let them ever say, “The Lord is great,” who long for your salvation.
R. See, I have come, Lord, to do your will.

Gospel
Luke 12:35-38
At this time:Jesus said to his disciples, “Stay dressed for action and keep your lamps burning, and be like men who are waiting for their master to come home from the wedding feast, so that they may open the door to him at once when he comes and knocks. Blessed are those servants whom the master finds awake when he comes. Truly, I say to you, he will dress himself for service and have them recline at table, and he will come and serve them. If he comes in the second watch, or in the third, and finds them awake, blessed are those servants!”

The Gospel of the Lord.
