제1독서
티토서. 2,1-8.11-14
사랑하는 그대여,
1 그대는 건전한 가르침에 부합하는 말을 하십시오.
2 나이 많은 남자들은 절제할 줄 알고 기품이 있고 신중하며,
건실한 믿음과 사랑과 인내를 지녀야 합니다.
3 나이 많은 여자들도 마찬가지로 몸가짐에 기품이 있어야 하고,
남을 험담하지 않고, 술의 노예가 되지 않으며,
선을 가르치는 사람이 되어야 합니다.
4 그래야 그들이 젊은 여자들을 훈련시켜,
남편을 사랑하고 자녀를 사랑하며,
5 신중하고 순결하며, 집안 살림을 잘하고 어질고 남편에게 순종하게 하여,
하느님의 말씀이 모독을 받지 않도록 할 수 있습니다.
6 젊은 남자들에게도 마찬가지로 신중히 행동하라고 권고하십시오.
7 그대 자신을 모든 면에서 선행의 본보기로 보여 주십시오.
가르칠 때에는 고결하고 품위 있게 하고
8 트집 잡을 데가 없는 건전한 말을 하여,
적대자가 우리를 걸고 나쁘게 말할 것이 하나도 없어
부끄러운 일을 당하게 하십시오.
11 과연 모든 사람에게 구원을 가져다주는 하느님의 은총이 나타났습니다.
12 이 은총이 우리를 교육하여, 불경함과 속된 욕망을 버리고
현세에서 신중하고 의롭고 경건하게 살도록 해 줍니다.
13 복된 희망이 이루어지기를, 우리의 위대하신 하느님이시며
구원자이신 예수 그리스도의 영광이 나타나기를 기다리는 우리를
그렇게 살도록 해 줍니다.
14 그리스도께서는 우리를 위하여 당신 자신을 내어 주시어,
우리를 모든 불의에서 해방하시고 또 깨끗하게 하시어,
선행에 열성을 기울이는 당신 소유의 백성이 되게 하셨습니다..
복음
루카. 17,7-10
그때에 주님께서 말씀하셨다.
7 “너희 가운데 누가 밭을 갈거나 양을 치는 종이 있으면,
들에서 돌아오는 그 종에게 ‘어서 와 식탁에 앉아라.’ 하겠느냐?
8 오히려 ‘내가 먹을 것을 준비하여라.
그리고 내가 먹고 마시는 동안 허리에 띠를 매고 시중을 들어라.
그런 다음에 먹고 마셔라.’ 하지 않겠느냐?
9 종이 분부를 받은 대로 하였다고 해서 주인이 그에게 고마워하겠느냐?
10 이와 같이 너희도 분부를 받은 대로 다 하고 나서,
‘저희는 쓸모없는 종입니다.
해야 할 일을 하였을 뿐입니다.’ 하고 말하여라.”

Reading 1
Ti 2:1-8, 11-14
Beloved: You must say what is consistent with sound doctrine,
namely, that older men should be temperate, dignified,
self-controlled, sound in faith, love, and endurance.
Similarly, older women should be reverent in their behavior,
not slanderers, not addicted to drink,
teaching what is good, so that they may train younger women
to love their husbands and children,
to be self-controlled, chaste, good homemakers,
under the control of their husbands,
so that the word of God may not be discredited.
Urge the younger men, similarly, to control themselves,
showing yourself as a model of good deeds in every respect,
with integrity in your teaching, dignity, and sound speech
that cannot be criticized,
so that the opponent will be put to shame
without anything bad to say about us.
For the grace of God has appeared, saving all
and training us to reject godless ways and worldly desires
and to live temperately, justly, and devoutly in this age,
as we await the blessed hope,
the appearance of the glory of the great God
and of our savior Jesus Christ,
who gave himself for us to deliver us from all lawlessness
and to cleanse for himself a people as his own,
eager to do what is good.
Responsorial Psalm
Ps 37:3-4, 18 and 23, 27 and 29
R. (39a) The salvation of the just comes from the Lord.
Trust in the LORD and do good,
that you may dwell in the land and be fed in security.
Take delight in the LORD,
and he will grant you your heart’s requests.
R. The salvation of the just comes from the Lord.
The LORD watches over the lives of the wholehearted;
their inheritance lasts forever.
By the LORD are the steps of a man made firm,
and he approves his way.
R. The salvation of the just comes from the Lord.
Turn from evil and do good,
that you may abide forever;
The just shall possess the land
and dwell in it forever.
R. The salvation of the just comes from the Lord.
Gospel
Lk 17:7-10
Jesus said to the Apostles:
“Who among you would say to your servant
who has just come in from plowing or tending sheep in the field,
‘Come here immediately and take your place at table’?
Would he not rather say to him,
‘Prepare something for me to eat.
Put on your apron and wait on me while I eat and drink.
You may eat and drink when I am finished’?
Is he grateful to that servant because he did what was commanded?
So should it be with you.
When you have done all you have been commanded, say,
‘We are unprofitable servants;
we have done what we were obliged to do.’”
Gift of Gratitude
We all know how good it feels when we are thanked for hard work, and we have all had the feeling of being taken for granted.
So, is Jesus suggesting that following him is a depressing, thankless task, only to be rewarded in the next life?
I don’t think so.
It seems that Jesus is reminding us today that gratitude is a gift and not a wage.
Gifts, especially when they are least expected and just what we need, fill us with joy and connect us with the giver.
When gifts come to be expected, the joy of receiving becomes elusive.
Instead, it seems that Jesus is inviting us to live as he lives: doing the work of God without expectation, so that, when the gift of gratitude comes, we may taste it with the fullness of joy.

Prayer
Jesus, you have shown us that gratitude is truly a gift which connects us ever more closely to you, the giver. When I express gratitude, whether I feel grateful or not, I share this gift. When I receive gratitude, let me always recognize it, not as a wage, but as my daily bread: received, blessed, and shared for the life of the world. Amen.

Today’s readings remind us of the dignity to which we are called, particularly the dignity of servanthood. Servanthood is indispensable to our Christian faith. Sadly, many of us resist the servant model. We prefer to follow the voices that tell us to lean in and be true to yourself, gathering all the accolades and praise you can.
Our Lord showed us the way of the servant throughout his earthly ministry. If we are to follow him, it must become our way, too. Even leaders must embrace service if they hope to be truly great. Much true greatness is hidden in this world under the disguise of servanthood.
The first reading from Titus encourages the practice of dignity and self-control in both word and deed. It is fascinating that the women are encouraged to teach and train the younger women how to love their husbands and children. Do the younger ones need to learn how to love? Perhaps so, especially when husbands and children are not so good at that self-control thing!
Women are uniquely influential in nurturing a culture fit for human thriving. My mother was influential in this way. We lost her this past year at age 98. She had a generous heart that served others joyfully, even when gratitude and appreciation were not reciprocated. No work was beneath her. She worked at the farm, the garden, the church, and in the home – wherever help was needed. She volunteered to help sick children at our local hospital. She often mended clothing or crocheted blankets in the evenings when her other work was completed.
A life of serving may not seem significant when we are caught up in all our ambitious clamoring, but its impact tells another tale. Evidence of her training can be found in my sisters who continue her good example in their families, and even in my brothers and me who, by the grace of God, managed to marry women remarkably like our mother. We do well to learn to recognize the gifts of those who serve among us, which we are prone to overlook.
In today’s gospel, our Lord illustrates that the habit of serving depends on commitment, not accolades or even gratitude. Perhaps this is what the letter to Titus was getting at through identifying the need for training. When the going gets tough – and it will – sometimes we simply must keep loving and serving. Grace comes to us in those times, saving us from godless behavior and allowing us to persevere toward the hope of our salvation, following our Lord who indeed “gave himself for us to deliver us from all lawlessness and to cleanse for himself a people as his own, eager to do what is good.”
Lord, please help us to be eager to do what is good, to serve willingly and joyfully. Give us eyes to recognize true greatness in our midst in the form of servanthood and help us to express gratitude for their gifts. Thanks be to God.

THE CELEBRATION OF THE WORD
“Your teaching must have the integrity of serious, sound words to which no one can take exception.” —Titus 2:8
Orthodox teaching based on the Bible is extremely important in leading people to Christ and building up the Church. False teaching is extremely destructive to our faith and to the Church. Therefore, we must “fight hard for the faith” (Jude 3) and “guard the rich deposit of faith with the help of the Holy Spirit Who dwells within us” (2 Tm 1:14). Furthermore, when we speak, we must be careful that our speech is “consistent with sound doctrine” (Ti 2:1). We should also act so that “the word of God will not fall into disrepute” (Ti 2:5). Even Christian employees should try to work extra hard for their employers so as “to please them in every way, not contradicting them nor stealing from them, but expressing a constant fidelity by their conduct, so as to adorn in every way possible the doctrine of God our Savior” (Ti 2:9-10). Whether we are teaching, fighting, guarding, speaking, acting, or working, we want to make sure we are helping people open up to God’s Word.
Our lives are so word-centered because God’s words are “spirit and life” (Jn 6:63). His words are the “joy and the happiness” of our hearts (Jer 15:16). “Ignorance of the Scriptures is ignorance of Christ” (Catechism of the Catholic Church, 133, St. Jerome). “Not on bread alone is man to live but on every utterance that comes from the mouth of God” (Mt 4:4). God’s Word is “more precious than thousands of gold and silver pieces” (Ps 119:72). Our “rebirth has come, not from a destructible but from an indestructible seed, through the living and enduring word of God” (1 Pt 1:23). Praise You, Jesus, Word of God (Jn 1:1), for the Word of God!
Prayer: Father, may I meditate on Your Word day and night (Ps 1:2).
Promise: “It was He Who sacrificed Himself for us, to redeem us from all unrighteousness and to cleanse for Himself a people of His own, eager to do what is right.” —Ti 2:14
Praise: Robert’s life changed when God’s Word set his heart aflame. He now reads the Bible daily.
