Gospel of November 5 2018

Letter of Saint Paul the Apostle to the Philippians 2,1: 4-XNUMX.
Brothers, if there is therefore any consolation in Christ, if there is comfort deriving from charity, if there is any commonality of spirit, if there are feelings of love and compassion,
make my joy full with the union of your spirits, with the same charity, with the same feelings.
Do nothing out of a spirit of rivalry or vainglory, but each of you, with all humility, consider the others superior to yourself,
without seeking their own interest, but also that of others.

Psalms 131 (130), 1.2.3.
Lord, my heart is not proud
and my gaze does not rise proudly;
I don't go looking for great things,
superior to my strength.

I am calm and peaceful
as a weaned child in the arms of his mother,
my soul is like a weaned child.

Hope Israel in the Lord,
Now and forever.

From the Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Luke 14,12-14.
At that time, Jesus said to the chief of the Pharisees who had invited him: «When you offer a lunch or dinner, do not invite your friends, nor your brothers, nor your relatives, nor the rich neighbors, because they too do not invite you in turn and you have the return.
On the contrary, when you give a banquet, it invites the poor, the crippled, the lame, the blind;
and you will be blessed because they don't have to reciprocate you. For you will receive your reward at the resurrection of the righteous. "
