## Readings of the day

- Epistle

  Philippians 1:27–2:4

  **Show the text**

  27 Only let your way of life be worthy of the Good News of Christ, that whether I come and see you or am absent, I may hear of your state, that you stand firm in one spirit, with one soul striving for the faith of the Good News;

  28 and in nothing frightened by the adversaries, which is for them a proof of destruction, but to you of salvation, and that from God.

  29 Because it has been granted to you on behalf of Christ, not only to believe in him, but also to suffer on his behalf,

  30 having the same conflict which you saw in me and now hear is in me.

  1 If therefore there is any exhortation in Christ, if any consolation of love, if any fellowship of the Spirit, if any tender mercies and compassion,

  2 make my joy full by being like-minded, having the same love, being of one accord, of one mind;

  3 doing nothing through rivalry or through conceit, but in humility, each counting others better than himself;

  4 each of you not just looking to his own things, but each of you also to the things of others.

- Gospel

  Luke 6:17–23

  **Show the text**

  17 He came down with them, and stood on a level place, with a crowd of his disciples, and a great number of the people from all Judea and Jerusalem, and the sea coast of Tyre and Sidon, who came to hear him and to be healed of their diseases;

  18 as well as those who were troubled by unclean spirits, and they were being healed.

  19 All the multitude sought to touch him, for power came out of him and healed them all.

  20 He lifted up his eyes to his disciples, and said, “Blessed are you who are poor, God’s Kingdom is yours.

  21 Blessed are you who hunger now, for you will be filled. Blessed are you who weep now, for you will laugh.

  22 Blessed are you when men hate you, and when they exclude and mock you, and throw out your name as evil, for the Son of Man’s sake.

  23 Rejoice in that day, and leap for joy, for behold, your reward is great in heaven, for their fathers did the same thing to the prophets.
