Weekday (28) ordinary Time
Vestment: Red
Today’s Rosary: The Luminous Mystery
St Luke the Evangelist. (Feast)
Entrance Antiphon Is. 52:7
How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of him who brings glad tidings of peace, bearing good news, announcing salvation!
The Gloria in excels (Glory to God in the highest) is said.


The Gloria
Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace to people of good will. We bless you, we adore you, we glorify you, we give you thanks for your great glory, Lord God, heavenly King, O God, almighty Father. Lord Jesus Christ, Only Begotten Son, Lord God, Lamb of God, Son of the Father, you take away the sins of the world, have mercy on us; you take away the sins of the world, receive our prayer; you are seated at the right hand of the Father, have mercy on us. For you alone are the Holy One, you alone are the Lord, you alone are the Most High, Jesus Christ, with the Holy Spirit, in the glory of God the Father. Amen.

Collect
Lord God, who chose Saint Luke to reveal by his preaching and writings the mystery of your love for the poor, grant that those who already glory in your name may persevere as one heart and one soul, and that all nations may merit to see your salvation. Through our Lord...

FIRST READING
Luke alone is with me.
A reading from the second Letter of Saint Paul to Timothy (2 Timothy 4:10-17ab)
Beloved: Demas, in love with this present world, has deserted rue and gone to Thessalonica; Crescens has gone to Galatia, Titus to Dalmatia. Luke alone is with me. Get Mark and bring him with you; for he is very useful in serving me. Tychicus I have sent to Ephesus. When you come, bring the cloak that I left with Carpus at Troas, also the books, and above all the parchments. Alexander the coppersmith did me great harm; the Lord will pay him back for his deeds. Beware of him yourself, for he strongly opposed our message. At my first defence no one took my part; all deserted me. May it not be charged against them! But the Lord stood by me and gave me strength to proclaim the word fully, that all the Gentiles might hear it.
The word of the Lord

RESPONSORIAL PSALM  Ps 145:10-11, 12-13ab, 17-18 (R.12a)
R. Your saints, O Lord,
    make known the glory of your reign.
All your works shall thank you, O Lord,
And all your faithful ones bless you.
They shall speak of the glory of your reign,
And declare your mighty deeds. R.
To make known your might to the children of men,
And the glorious splendour of your reign.
Your kingdom is an everlasting kingdom;
Your rule endures for all generations. R.
The Lord is just in all his ways,
And holy in all his deeds.
The Lord is close to all who call him,
Who call on him in truth. R.

ALLELUIA  John 15:16
Alleluia. I chose you from the world that you should go and bear fruit and that fruit should abide, says the Lord. Alleluia.

GOSPEL
The harvest is plentiful, but the labourers are few
A reading from the holy Gospel according to Luke (Luke 10:1-9)
At that time: The Lord appointed seventy others, and sent them on ahead of him, two by two, into every town and place where he himself was about to come. And he said to them, “The harvest is plentiful, but the labourers are few; pray therefore the Lord of the harvest to send out labourers into his harvest. Go your way; behold, I send you out as lambs in the midst of wolves. Carry no purse, no bag, no sandals; and salute no one on the road. Whatever house you enter, first say, ‘peace be to this house!’ And if a son of peace is there, your peace shall rest upon him; but if not, it shall return to you. And remain in the same house, eating and drinking what they provide, for the labourer deserves his wages; do not go from house to house. Whenever you enter a town and they receive you, eat what is set before you; heal the sick in it and say to them, ‘The kingdom of God has come near to you.
The Gospel of the Lord.

Sunday 4th November Thirty-First Sunday of the Year

Sunday 4th November Thirty-First Sunday of the Year Vestment: Green Today’s Rosary: The Glorious Mystery ST CHARLES BORROMEO, Bishop  (MEMORIAL) KADUNA: Tomorrow is the 46th anniversary of the Episcopal ordination of Most Revd Peter Jatau, Emeritus, 5th November 1972. SHENDAM: Tomorrow is the 1st anniversary of the Episcopal ordination of Most Revd Philip D. Dung, 5th November 2017. Theme of tile Sunday:   Love and Do What you Like!  The presentation of the message of the word of God for this Sunday could begin with the Gospel. Love that comes from God and spreads to all is the synthesis of all commandments. One lives one’s life and comes close to God only when one loves. The first reading teaches us that the law of God is not a hard imposition; it is a gift from the Father to show us the way to happiness. The reading helps us to understand what it means to love God. The second reading is related to this: by giving his life for us, Jesus taught us how we too can l...

Monday 29th October Weekday (30) of Ordinary time year B.

Monday 29th October Weekday (30) Vestment: Green Today’s Rosary: The Joyful Mystery FIRST READING “Walk in love, as Christ loved us.” A reading from the Letter of Saint Paul to the Ephesians (Ephesians 4: 32—5 :8) Brethren: Be kind to one another, tender-hearted, forgiving one another, as God in Christ forgave you. Therefore be imitators of God, as beloved children. And walk in love, as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us, a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God. But immorality and all impurity or covetousness must not even be named among you, as is fitting among saints. Let there be no filthiness, nor silly talk, nor levity, which are not fitting; but instead let there be thanksgiving. Be sure of this, that no immoral or impure man, or one who is covetous (that is, an idolater), has any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God. Let no one deceive you with empty words, for it is because of these things that the wrath of God comes upon the sons of disobedience. There...

Saturday 27 October Weekday (29) of Ordinary time year B.

Saturday 27 October Weekday (29) Vestment: White/Green Today’s Rosary: The Joyful Mystery FIRST READING                    Christ is the head from whom the whole body is joined and knit together. A reading from the Letter of Saint Paul to the Ephesians (Ephesians 4:7-16) Brethren: Grace was given to each of us according to the measure of Christ’s gift. Therefore it is said, “When he ascended on high he led a host of captives, and he gave gifts to men.”  (In saying, “He ascended,” what does it mean but that he had also descended into the lower parts of the earth? He who descended is he who also ascended far above all the heavens, that he might fill all things.) And his gifts were that some should be apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, some pastors and teachers,  for the equipment of the saints, for the work of ministry, for building up the body  of Christ, until we all att...
