Gospel of 22 October 2018

Letter of Saint Paul the Apostle to the Ephesians 2,1: 10-XNUMX.
Brothers, you were dead from your sins and sins,
in which you once lived in the manner of this world, following the prince of the powers of the air, that spirit which now works in rebel men.
In the number of those rebels, moreover, we all also lived once, with the desires of our flesh, following the desires of the flesh and the bad desires; and by nature we were worthy of anger, like the others.
But God, rich in mercy, for the great love with which he loved us,
from dead we were for sins, he brought us back to life with Christ: in fact, by grace you were saved.
With him he also raised us up and made us sit in heaven, in Christ Jesus,
to show in the future centuries the extraordinary richness of his grace through his goodness towards us in Christ Jesus.
In fact, by this grace you are saved by faith; and this does not come from you, but is a gift from God;
nor does it come from works, so that no one can boast of it.
We are in fact his work, created in Christ Jesus for the good works that God has prepared for us to practice them.

Psalms 100 (99), 2.3.4.5.
Acclaim the Lord, all of you on earth,
serve the Lord in joy,
introduce yourself to him with exultation.

Recognize that the Lord is God;
he made us and we are his,
his people and flock of his pasture.

Go through its doors with hymns of grace,
his atria with songs of praise,
praise him, bless his name.

Good is the Lord,
eternal his mercy,
his loyalty for each generation.

From the Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Luke 12,13-21.
At that time, one of the crowd said to Jesus, "Master, tell my brother to share the inheritance with me."
But he said, "O man, who made me judge or mediator over you?"
And he said to them, "Beware and keep away from all greed, because even if one is in abundance his life does not depend on his goods."
Then said a parable: "The campaign of a rich man had yielded a good harvest.
He reasoned to himself: What will I do, since I have nowhere to store my crops?
And he said: I will do this: I will demolish my warehouses and build bigger ones and gather all the wheat and my goods.
Then I will say to myself: My soul, you have many goods available for many years; rest, eat, drink and give yourself joy.
But God said to him: You fool, your life will be required of you this very night. And what did you prepare who will it be?
So it is with those who accumulate treasures for themselves, and do not enrich before God ».
