The 13th of November, 2024 is Wednesday in the Thirty-Second Week of Ordinary Time. The Bible scriptures for the holy mass readings for this day came from the 2024 Liturgical Calendar.
Reading 1: TI 3:1-7
The first reading from the Letter of Saint Paul to Titus.
Remind them to be in subjection to rulers and to authorities, to be obedient, to be ready for every good work, to speak evil of no one, not to be contentious, to be gentle, showing all humility toward all men.
For we were also once foolish, disobedient, deceived, serving various lusts and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful, and hating one another.
But when the kindness of God our Savior and his love toward mankind appeared, not by works of righteousness which we did ourselves, but according to his mercy, he saved us through the washing of regeneration and renewing by the Holy Spirit, whom he poured out on us richly through Jesus Christ our Savior; that being justified by his grace, we might be made heirs according to the hope of eternal life.
Responsorial Psalm: PS 23:1-3A, 3BC-4, 5, 6
Response: Yahweh is my shepherd; I shall lack nothing.
Yahweh is my shepherd; I shall lack nothing.

He restores my soul.
R: Yahweh is my shepherd; I shall lack nothing.
He guides me in the paths of righteousness for his name’s sake.
Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me. Your rod and your staff, they comfort me.
R: Yahweh is my shepherd; I shall lack nothing.
You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies. You anoint my head with oil. My cup runs over.
R: Yahweh is my shepherd; I shall lack nothing.
Surely goodness and loving kindness shall follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in Yahweh’s house forever.
R: Yahweh is my shepherd; I shall lack nothing.
Gospel of the Day: LK 17:11-19
From the gospel verse according to Luke.
As he was on his way to Jerusalem, he was passing along the borders of Samaria and Galilee.
As he entered into a certain village, ten men who were lepers met him, who stood at a distance.
They lifted up their voices, saying, “Jesus, Master, have mercy on us!”
When he saw them, he said to them, “Go and show yourselves to the priests.” As they went, they were cleansed.
One of them, when he saw that he was healed, turned back, glorifying God with a loud voice.
He fell on his face at Jesus’ feet, giving him thanks; and he was a Samaritan.
Jesus answered, “Weren’t the ten cleansed? But where are the nine?
Were there none found who returned to give glory to God, except this foreigner?”
Then he said to him, “Get up, and go your way. Your faith has healed you.”
