The 5th of November, 2024 is Tuesday in the Thirty-First Week of Ordinary Time. The Bible scriptures for the holy mass readings for this day came from the 2024 Liturgical Calendar.
Reading 1: PHIL 2:5-11
The first reading from the Letter of Saint Paul to the Philippians.
Have this in your mind, which was also in Christ Jesus, who, existing in the form of God, didn’t consider equality with God a thing to be grasped, but emptied himself, taking the form of a servant, being made in the likeness of men.
And being found in human form, he humbled himself, becoming obedient to the point of death, yes, the death of the cross.
Therefore God also highly exalted him, and gave to him the name which is above every name, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those in heaven, those on earth, and those under the earth, and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
Responsorial Psalm: PS 22:25B-26, 27, 28-29, 30-31

R: My praise of you comes in the great assembly.
All the ends of the earth shall remember and turn to Yahweh. All the relatives of the nations shall worship before you.
R: My praise of you comes in the great assembly.
For the kingdom is Yahweh’s. He is the ruler over the nations.
All the rich ones of the earth shall eat and worship. All those who go down to the dust shall bow before him, even he who can’t keep his soul alive.

Posterity shall serve him. Future generations shall be told about the Lord.
They shall come and shall declare his righteousness to a people that shall be born, for he has done it.

Gospel of the Day: LK 14:15-24
From the gospel verse according to Luke.
When one of those who sat at the table with him heard these things, he said to him, “Blessed is he who will feast in God’s Kingdom!”
But he said to him, “A certain man made a great supper, and he invited many people.
He sent out his servant at supper time to tell those who were invited, ‘Come, for everything is ready now.’
They all as one began to make excuses. “The first said to him, ‘I have bought a field, and I must go and see it. Please have me excused.’_”
“Another said, ‘I have bought five yoke of oxen, and I must go try them out. Please have me excused.’_”
“Another said, ‘I have married a wife, and therefore I can’t come.’_”
“That servant came, and told his lord these things. Then the master of the house, being angry, said to his servant, ‘Go out quickly into the streets and lanes of the city, and bring in the poor, maimed, blind, and lame.’_”
“The servant said, ‘Lord, it is done as you commanded, and there is still room.’_”
“The lord said to the servant, ‘Go out into the highways and hedges, and compel them to come in, that my house may be filled.
For I tell you that none of those men who were invited will taste of my supper.’_”_”
