Daily Mass Readings for November 08, 2025: Gospel — Lc 16,9-15

³ Greet Prisca and Aquila, my fellow workers in Christ Jesus, ⁴ who risked their own necks for my life. Not only I, but all the churches of the Gentiles are grateful to them. ⁵ Also greet the church in their house. Greet my dear friend Epenetus, who was the first convert to Christ in the province of Asia. ⁶ Greet Mary, who has worked very hard for you. ⁷ Greet Andronicus and Junia, my compatriots and my fellow prisoners. They are well known to the apostles, and they were in Christ before me. ⁸ Greet Ampliatus, my dear friend in the Lord. ⁹ Greet Urbanus, our fellow worker in Christ, and my good friend Stachys. ¹ Now I commend to you our sister Phoebe, who is a servant of the church in Cenchrea, ² so that you may welcome her in the Lord in a way worthy of the saints and provide her with whatever help she may need from you, for she has been a great help to many, including me. 1 ⁰ Greet Apelles, who is approved in Christ. Greet those who belong to the household of Aristobulus. 1 ¹ Greet Herodion, my compatriot. Greet those in the household of Narcissus who are in the Lord. 1 ² Greet Tryphena and Tryphosa, laborers in the Lord. Greet my dear friend Persis, who has worked hard in the Lord. 1 ³ Greet Rufus, chosen in the Lord, and his mother who was also a mother to me. 1 ⁴ Greet Asyncritus, Phlegon, Hermes, Patrobas, Hermas, and the brothers and sisters with them. 1 ⁵ Greet Philologus and Julia, Nereus and his sister, and Olympas, and all the believers who are with them. 1 ⁶ Greet one another with a holy kiss. All the churches of Christ greet you. 1 ⁷ Now I urge you, brothers and sisters, to watch out for those who create dissensions and obstacles contrary to the teaching that you learned. Avoid them! 1 ⁸ For these are the kind who do not serve our Lord Christ, but their own appetites. By their smooth talk and flattery they deceive the minds of the naive. 1 ⁹ Your obedience is known to all and thus I rejoice over you. But I want you to be wise in what is good and innocent in what is evil. 2 ⁰ The God of peace will quickly crush Satan under your feet. The grace of our Lord Jesus be with you. 2 ¹ Timothy, my fellow worker, greets you; so do Lucius, Jason, and Sosipater, my compatriots. 2 ² I, Tertius, who am writing this letter, greet you in the Lord. 2 ³ Gaius, who is host to me and to the whole church, greets you. Erastus the city treasurer and our brother Quartus greet you. 2 ⁵ Now to him who is able to strengthen you according to my gospel and the proclamation of Jesus Christ, according to the revelation of the mystery that had been kept secret for long ages, 2 ⁶ but now is disclosed, and through the prophetic scriptures has been made known to all the nations, according to the command of the eternal God, to bring about the obedience of faith— 2 ⁷ to the only wise God, through Jesus Christ, be glory forever! Amen. 1 :¹ From Paul, a slave of Christ Jesus, called to be an apostle, set apart for the gospel of God. ² This gospel he promised beforehand through his prophets in the holy scriptures, ³ concerning his Son who was a descendant of David with reference to the flesh, ⁴ who was appointed the Son-of-God-in-power according to the Holy Spirit by the resurrection from the dead, Jesus Christ our Lord. ⁵ Through him we have received grace and our apostleship to bring about the obedience of faith among all the Gentiles on behalf of his name. ⁶ You also are among them, called to belong to Jesus Christ. ⁷ To all those loved by God in Rome, called to be saints: Grace and peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ! ⁸ First of all, I thank my God through Jesus Christ for all of you, because your faith is proclaimed throughout the whole world. ⁹ For God, whom I serve in my spirit in the gospel of his Son, is my witness that I continually remember you, 1 ⁰ and I always ask in my prayers if, perhaps now at last, I may succeed in visiting you according to the will of God. 1 ¹ For I long to see you, so that I may impart to you some spiritual gift to strengthen you, 1 ² that is, that we may be mutually comforted by one another’s faith, both yours and mine. 1 ³ I do not want you to be unaware, brothers and sisters, that I often intended to come to you (and was prevented until now), so that I may have some fruit even among you, just as I already have among the rest of the Gentiles. 1 ⁴ I am a debtor both to the Greeks and to the barbarians, both to the wise and to the foolish. 1 ⁵ Thus I am eager also to preach the gospel to you who are in Rome. 1 ⁶ For I am not ashamed of the gospel, for it is God’s power for salvation to everyone who believes, to the Jew first and also to the Greek. 1 ⁷ For the righteousness of God is revealed in the gospel from faith to faith, just as it is written, “The righteous by faith will live.” 1 ⁸ For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of people who suppress the truth by their unrighteousness, 1 ⁹ because what can be known about God is plain to them, because God has made it plain to them. 2 ⁰ For since the creation of the world his invisible attributes—his eternal power and divine nature—have been clearly seen because they are understood through what has been made. So people are without excuse. 2 ¹ For although they knew God, they did not glorify him as God or give him thanks, but they became futile in their thoughts, and their senseless hearts were darkened. 2 ² Although they claimed to be wise, they became fools 2 ³ and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for an image resembling mortal human beings or birds or four-footed animals or reptiles. 2 ⁴ Therefore God gave them over in the desires of their hearts to impurity, to dishonor their bodies among themselves. 2 ⁵ They exchanged the truth of God for a lie and worshiped and served the creation rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever! Amen. 2 ⁶ For this reason God gave them over to dishonorable passions. For their women exchanged the natural sexual relations for unnatural ones, 2 ⁷ and likewise the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed in their passions for one another. Men committed shameless acts with men and received in themselves the due penalty for their error. 2 ⁸ And just as they did not see fit to acknowledge God, God gave them over to a depraved mind, to do what should not be done. 2 ⁹ They are filled with every kind of unrighteousness, wickedness, covetousness, malice. They are rife with envy, murder, strife, deceit, hostility. They are gossips, 3 ⁰ slanderers, haters of God, insolent, arrogant, boastful, contrivers of all sorts of evil, disobedient to parents, 3 ¹ senseless, covenant-breakers, heartless, ruthless. 3 ² Although they fully know God’s righteous decree that those who practice such things deserve to die, they not only do them but also approve of those who practice them.
