November 14, 2023 — Tuesday, Thirty-second Week in Ordinary Time — Whoever loves me will keep my word, and my Father will love him, and we will come to him — Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint Luke (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.’”
