First Reading
Romans 13: 8-10
8Owe nothing to anyone, except to love one another; for the one who loves another has fulfilled the law.
9The commandments, “You shall not commit adultery; you shall not kill; you shall not steal; you shall not covet,” and whatever other commandment there may be, are summed up in this saying, [namely] “You shall love your neighbor as yourself.”
10Love does no evil to the neighbor; hence, love is the fulfillment of the law. Awareness of the End of Time.
Responsorial Psalm

4Light shines through the darkness for the upright; gracious, compassionate, and righteous.

Gospel
Luke 14: 25-33
25Great crowds were traveling with him, and he turned and addressed them,
26“If any one comes to me without hating his father and mother, wife and children, brothers and sisters, and even his own life, he cannot be my disciple.
27Whoever does not carry his own cross and come after me cannot be my disciple.
28Which of you wishing to construct a tower does not first sit down and calculate the cost to see if there is enough for its completion?
29Otherwise, after laying the foundation and finding himself unable to finish the work the onlookers should laugh at him
30and say, ‘This one began to build but did not have the resources to finish.’
31Or what king marching into battle would not first sit down and decide whether with ten thousand troops he can successfully oppose another king advancing upon him with twenty thousand troops?
32But if not, while he is still far away, he will send a delegation to ask for peace terms.
33In the same way, everyone of you who does not renounce all his possessions cannot be my disciple. The Simile of Salt.
