1ST READING
We
should always find ways on how to help others. This is what will build a
true Christian community. Let us open our hearts to God’s grace and
help one another in the simple things of life so that we can always be
good witnesses to the Kingdom of God. St. Elizabeth of Hungary, whose
feast we celebrate today, was a woman who gave her all in the service of
the poor and the Church.
3 John 5-8
5 Beloved, you are faithful in all you do for the brothers and sisters, especially for strangers; 6 they have testified to your love before the Church. Please help them in a way worthy of God to continue their journey. 7 For they have set out for the sake of the Name and are accepting nothing from the pagans. 8 Therefore, we
ought to support such persons, so that we may be co-workers in the truth.

Psalm 112:1-2, 3-4, 5-6
R: Blessed the man who fears the Lord.
1 Blessed the man who fears the Lord, who greatly delights in his commands. 2 His posterity shall be mighty upon the earth; the upright generation shall be blessed. (R) 3 Wealth and riches shall be in his house; his generosity shall endure forever. 4 Light shines through
the darkness for the upright; he is gracious and merciful and just. (R) 5 Well for the man who is gracious and lends, who conducts his affairs with justice; 6 He shall never be moved; the just man shall be in everlasting remembrance. (R)
GOSPEL
Like
Jesus, I also wonder if there will be any faith left on earth when He
returns. The answer to this question is partially dependent on our own
faith responses. We will contribute to the level of faith on the earth
through the way we live our lives. Let us be aware that the choices we
make will have a lasting impact both for good and for bad, depending on
what we choose.
GOSPEL ACCLAMATION
God has called us through the Gospel, to possess the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Luke 18:1-8
1 Jesus told his disciples a parable about the necessity for them to pray always without becoming weary. He said, 2 “There was a judge in a certain town who neither feared God nor respected any human being. 3 And a widow in that town used to come to him and say, ‘Render a just decision for me against my adversary.’ 4 For
a long time the judge was unwilling, but eventually he thought, ‘While
it is true that I neither fear God nor respect any human being, 5 because this widow keeps bothering me I shall deliver a just decision for her lest she finally come and strike me.’ ” 6 The Lord said, “Pay attention to what the dishonest judge says. 7 Will not God then secure the rights of his chosen ones who call out to him day and night? Will he be slow to answer them?
8 I
tell you, he will see to it that justice is done for them speedily. But
when the Son of Man comes, will he find faith on earth?”
think: The choices we make will have a lasting impact, both for good and for bad, depending on what we choose.
