READINGS- SUNDAY AUGUST 8, 2010
19TH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME
First Reading (Wisdom 18.6-9)
The night of the deliverance from Egypt was made known beforehand to our ancestors; so that they might
rejoice in sure knowledge of the oaths in which they trusted.
The deliverance of the righteous and the destruction of their enemies were expected by your people. For by
the same means by which you punished our enemies you called us to yourself and glorified us.
For in secret the holy children of good people offered sacrifices, and with one accord agreed to the divine law,
so that the saints would share alike the same things, both blessings and dangers; and already they were singing
the praises of the ancestors.
Psalm 33
Second Reading (Hebrews 11.1-2,8-19)
Brothers and sisters: Faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen. Indeed, by
faith our ancestors received approval.
By faith Abraham obeyed when he was called to set out for a place that he was to receive as an inheritance;
and he set out, not knowing where he was going. By faith he stayed for a time in the land he had been
promised, as in a foreign land, living in tents, as did Isaac and Jacob, who were heirs with him of the same
promise.
For Abraham looked forward to the city that has foundations, whose architect and builder is God. By faith
Sarah herself, though barren, received power to conceive, even when she was too old, because she considered
him faithful who had promised. Therefore from one person and this one as good as dead, descendants were
born, “as many as the stars of heaven and as the innumerable grains of sand by the seashore.
Gospel (Luke 12.32-48)
Jesus said to his disciples, “Do not be afraid, little flock, for it is your Father’s good pleasure to give you the
kingdom. Sell your possessions, and give alms. Make purses for yourselves that do not wear out, an
unfailing treasure in heaven, where no thief comes near and no moth destroys. For where your treasure is,
there your heart will be also.
“Be dressed for action and have your lamps lit; be like those who are waiting for their master to return from
the wedding banquet, so that they may open the door for him as soon as he comes and knocks. Blessed are
those slaves whom the master finds alert when he comes; truly I tell you, he will fasten his belt and have them
sit down to eat, and he will come and serve them. If he comes during the middle of the night, or near dawn,
and finds them so, blessed are those slaves.
“But know this: if the owner of the house had known at what hour the thief was coming, he would not have
let his house be broken into. You also must be ready, for the Son of Man is coming at an unexpected hour.”
Peter said,” Lord, are you telling this parable for us or for everyone?” And the Lord said, “Who then is the
faithful and prudent manager whom his master will put in charge of his slaves, to give them their allowance of
food at the proper time? Blessed is that slave whom his master will find at work when he arrives. Truly I tell
you, he will put that one in charge of all his possessions. But if that slave says to himself, ‘My master is
delayed in coming,’ and if he begins to beat the other slaves, men and women, and to eat and drink and get
drunk, the master of that slave will come on a day when he does not expect him and at an hour that he does
not know, and will cut him in pieces, and put him with the unfaithful.
“That slave, who knew what his master wanted, but did not prepare himself or do what was wanted, will
receive a severe beating. But the one who did not know and did what deserved a beating will receive a light
beating. From everyone to whom much has been given, much will be required; and from the one to whom
much has been entrusted, even more will be demanded.”
