Daily Mass Readings - Tuesday October 26, 2021
Lectionary: 480
First Reading: Romans 8: 18-25
18 For I reckon that the sufferings of this time are not worthy to be compared with the glory to come, that shall be revealed in us.
19 For the expectation of the creature waiteth for the revelation of the sons of God.
20 For the creature was made subject to vanity, not willingly, but by reason of him that made it subject, in hope:
21 Because the creature also itself shall be delivered from the servitude of corruption, into the liberty of the glory of the children of God.
22 For we know that every creature groaneth and travaileth in pain, even till now.
23 And not only it, but ourselves also, who have the firstfruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for the adoption of the sons of God, the redemption of our body.
24 For we are saved by hope. But hope that is seen, is not hope. For what a man seeth, why doth he hope for?
25 But if we hope for that which we see not, we wait for it with patience.
Responsorial Psalm: Psalms 126: 1b-2ab, 2cd-3, 4-5, 6

1 When the lord brought back the captivity of Sion, we became like men comforted.
2ab Then was our mouth filled with gladness; and our tongue with joy.
R. The Lord has done marvels for us.
2cd Then shall they say among the Gentiles: The Lord hath done great things for them.
3 The Lord hath done great things for us: we are become joyful.
R. The Lord has done marvels for us.
4 Turn again our captivity, O Lord, as a stream in the south.
5 They that sow in tears shall reap in joy.
R. The Lord has done marvels for us.
6 Going they went and wept, casting their seeds. But coming they shall come with joyfulness, carrying their sheaves.
R. The Lord has done marvels for us.

R. Alleluia, alleluia.
Gospel: Luke 13: 18-21
18 He said therefore: To what is the kingdom of God like, and whereunto shall I resemble it?
19 It is like to a grain of mustard seed, which a man took and cast into his garden, and it grew and became a great tree, and the birds of the air lodged in the branches thereof.
20 And again he said: Whereunto shall I esteem the kingdom of God to be like?
21 It is like to leaven, which a woman took and hid in three measures of meal, till the whole was leavened.
