Memorial of Saint Leo the Great, pope and doctor of the Church

Reading 1
Wis 2:23–3:9

For God created man incorruptible, and to the image of his own likeness he made him. But by the envy of the devil, death came into the world: And they follow him that are of his side.

But the souls of the just are in the hand of God, and the torment of death shall not touch them. In the sight of the unwise they seemed to die: and their departure was taken for misery: And their going away from us, for utter destruction: but they are in peace. And though in the sight of men they suffered torments, their hope is full of immortality. Afflicted in few things, in many they shall be well rewarded: because God hath tried them, and found them worthy of himself. As gold in the furnace, he hath proved them, and as a victim of a holocaust, he hath received them, and in time there shall be respect had to them. The just shall shine, and shall run to and fro like sparks among the reeds. They shall judge nations, and rule over people, and their Lord shall reign for ever. They that trust in him shall understand the truth: and they that are faithful in love, shall rest in him: for grace and peace are to his elect.

Responsorial Psalm
Ps 34:2-3, 16-17, 18-19

R. I will bless the Lord at all times.
I will bless the Lord at all times,
his praise shall be always in my mouth.
In the Lord shall my soul be praised:
let the meek hear and rejoice.
R. I will bless the Lord at all times.
The eyes of the Lord are upon the just:
and his ears unto their prayers.
But the countenance of the Lord
is against them that do evil things:
to cut off the remembrance of them from the earth.
R. I will bless the Lord at all times.
The just cried, and the Lord heard them:
and delivered them out of all their troubles.
The Lord is nigh unto them that are of a contrite heart:
and he will save the humble of spirit.
R. I will bless the Lord at all times.

Gospel
Lk 17:7-10

Jesus said to the Apostles:
But which of you, having a servant ploughing or feeding cattle, will say to him, when he is come from the field: Immediately go. Sit down to meat. And will not rather say to him: Make ready my supper and gird thyself and serve me, whilst I eat and drink; and afterwards thou shalt eat and drink? Doth he thank that servant for doing the things which he commanded him? I think not. So you also, when you shall have done all these things that are commanded you, say: We are unprofitable servants; we have done that which we ought to do.
