12, 2024 – Memorial of St. Joseph at Bishop and Martyr A reading from the letter of St. Paul to Titus. Beloved, "You must say what is consistent with sound doctrine, namely, that older men should be temperate, dignified, self-controlled, sound in faith of and endurance. Similarly, older women should be reverent in their behavior, not slanderers, not addicted to drink, teaching what is good, so that they may train younger women to love their husbands and children, to be self-controlled, chaste, good homemakers, under the control of their husbands, so that the word of God may not be discredited." "Arge the younger men, similarly, to control themselves, showing yourself as a model of good deeds in every respect, with integrity in your teaching, dignity and sound speech that cannot be criticized, so that the opponent will be put to shame without anything bad to say about us." For the grace of God has appeared, saving all and training us to reject godless ways and worldly desires, and to live temperately, justly and devoutly, in this age, as we await the blessed hope, the appearance of the glory of the great God and of our Savior Jesus Christ, who gave Himself for us, to deliver us from all lawlessness and to cleanse for Himself a people as His own, eager to do what is good. The word of the Lord. The response of the Lord. Trust in the Lord and do good that you may dwell in the land and be fed in security. Take delight in the Lord and He will grant you your hearts' requests. The salvation of the just comes from the Lord. The Lord watches over the lives of the wholehearted, their inheritance lasts forever. By the Lord are the steps of a man-made firm, and He approves His way. The salvation of the just comes from the Lord. Turn from evil and do good that you may abide forever. The just shall possess the land and dwell in it forever. The salvation of the just comes from the Lord. A reading from the Holy Gospel according to Luke. 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 a 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." the gospel of the Lord. [BLANK_AUDIO]
