The Gospel

The Holy Gospel is written in the fourteenth chapter

of the Gospel according to Saint Luke beginning

at the 25th verse.

Glory be to thee, O Lord.

Now large crowds were travelling with Jesus; and he turned and said to

them, "Whoever comes to me and does not hate father and mother, wife

and children, brothers and sisters, yes, and even life itself, cannot be my

disciple. Whoever does not carry the cross and follow me cannot be my

disciple. For which of you, intending to build a tower, does not first sit

down and estimate the cost, to see whether he has enough to complete it?

Otherwise, when he has laid a foundation and is not able to finish, all who

see it will begin to ridicule him, saying, 'This fellow began to build and was

not able to finish.' Or what king, going out to wage war against another

king, will not sit down first and consider whether he is able with ten

thousand to oppose the one who comes against him with twenty

thousand? If he cannot, then, while the other is still far away, he sends a

delegation and asks for the terms of peace. So therefore, none of you can

become my disciple if you do not give up all your possessions."

(Luke 14:25-33)

The Gospel of Christ.

Praise be to thee, O Christ.

A Reading from the Letter of Paul to Philemon

Paul, a prisoner of Christ Jesus, and Timothy our brother, To Philemon

our dear friend and co-worker, to Apphia our sister, to Archippus our

fellow soldier, and to the church in your house: Grace to you and peace

from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. When I remember you in

my prayers, I always thank my God because I hear of your love for all the

saints and your faith toward the Lord Jesus. I pray that the sharing of your

faith may become effective when you perceive all the good that we may do

for Christ. I have indeed received much joy and encouragement from your

love, because the hearts of the saints have been refreshed through you, my

brother. For this reason, though I am bold enough in Christ to command

you to do your duty, yet I would rather appeal to you on the basis of love -

and I, Paul, do this as an old man, and now also as a prisoner of Christ

Jesus. I am appealing to you for my child, Onesimus, whose father I have

become during my imprisonment. Formerly he was useless to you, but now

he is indeed useful both to you and to me. I am sending him, that is, my

own heart, back to you. I wanted to keep him with me, so that he might be

of service to me in your place during my imprisonment for the gospel; but

I preferred to do nothing without your consent, in order that your good

deed might be voluntary and not something forced. Perhaps this is the

reason he was separated from you for a while, so that you might have him

back forever, no longer as a slave but more than a slave, a beloved brother

- especially to me but how much more to you, both in the flesh and in the

Lord. So if you consider me your partner, welcome him as you would

welcome me. If he has wronged you in any way, or owes you anything,

charge that to my account. I, Paul, am writing this with my own hand: I

will repay it. I say nothing about your owing me even your own self. Yes,

brother, let me have this benefit from you in the Lord! Refresh my heart in

Christ. Confident of your obedience, I am writing to you, knowing that you

will do more than I say. (Philemon 1-21)

Hear what the Spirit is saying to the church.

Thanks be to God.
