27th Sunday in Ordinary Time - Year B - October 6, 2024

The readings for the 27th Sunday in Ordinary Time Year B highlight the importance of unity, family, and following God’s will. They remind us of the value of marriage, the role of children, and Jesus’ teachings on these topics.

If you want to create your own line-up of songs, you can use these themes:

• Unity in Marriage: God creates woman as a partner for man, showing that marriage is meant to be a union of equals. This unity is blessed by God.

• Importance of Family: The readings emphasize the family as the basic unit of society. Jesus’ love for children highlights the importance of nurturing and caring for family members.

• God’s Plan for Marriage: Jesus teaches that marriage is a sacred bond. He reminds us that this bond should not be broken lightly.

• Innocence of Children: Jesus shows special care for children. He teaches that we should have a childlike trust and openness to enter the Kingdom of God.

• Respect for Women: The creation of woman as a partner for man shows the respect and value given to women. This teaches us to respect and honor women in our lives.

• Jesus’ Teachings on Divorce: Jesus addresses the issue of divorce, urging us to respect the commitment made in marriage. He calls for fidelity and commitment in relationships.

• Christ’s Humility and Suffering: In Hebrews, we see Jesus’ willingness to suffer for humanity. This calls us to follow His example of humility and sacrifice.

 

The themes for the 27th Sunday in Ordinary Time Year B guide us to appreciate marriage, value family, and follow Jesus’ teachings. They remind us to live with unity, respect, and commitment in our relationships.

Reading 1                                                       Wis 11:22-12:2
Before the LORD the whole universe is as a grain from a balance
 or a drop of morning dew come down upon the earth.
 But you have mercy on all, because you can do all things;
 and you overlook people's sins that they may repent.
 For you love all things that are
 and loathe nothing that you have made;
 for what you hated, you would not have fashioned.
 And how could a thing remain, unless you willed it;
 or be preserved, had it not been called forth by you?
 But you spare all things, because they are yours,
 O LORD and lover of souls,
 for your imperishable spirit is in all things!
 Therefore you rebuke offenders little by little,
 warn them and remind them of the sins they are committing,
 that they may abandon their wickedness and believe in you, O LORD!
 
Responsorial Psalm                                     Ps 145:1-2, 8-9, 10-11, 13, 14
R. (cf. 1)  I will praise your name for ever, my king and my God.
I will extol you, O my God and King,
and I will bless your name forever and ever.
Every day will I bless you,
and I will praise your name forever and ever.
R. I will praise your name for ever, my king and my God.
The LORD is gracious and merciful,
slow to anger and of great kindness.
The LORD is good to all
and compassionate toward all his works.
R. I will praise your name for ever, my king and my God.
Let all your works give you thanks, O LORD,
and let your faithful ones bless you.
Let them discourse of the glory of your kingdom
and speak of your might.
R. I will praise your name for ever, my king and my God.
The LORD is faithful in all his words
and holy in all his works.
The LORD lifts up all who are falling
and raises up all who are bowed down.
R. I will praise your name for ever, my king and my God.
 
Reading 2                                           2 Thes 1:11-2:2
Brothers and sisters:
We always pray for you,
that our God may make you worthy of his calling
and powerfully bring to fulfillment every good purpose
and every effort of faith,
that the name of our Lord Jesus may be glorified in you,
and you in him,
in accord with the grace of our God and Lord Jesus Christ.
 
We ask you, brothers and sisters,
with regard to the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ
and our assembling with him,
not to be shaken out of your minds suddenly, or to be alarmed
either by a "spirit," or by an oral statement,
or by a letter allegedly from us
to the effect that the day of the Lord is at hand.
 
Alleluia                                                           Jn 3:16
R. Alleluia, alleluia.
God so loved the world that he gave his only Son,
so that everyone who believes in him might have eternal life.
R. Alleluia, alleluia.
 
Gospel                                                                        Lk 19:1-10
At that time, Jesus came to Jericho and intended to pass through the town.
Now a man there named Zacchaeus,
who was a chief tax collector and also a wealthy man,
was seeking to see who Jesus was;
but he could not see him because of the crowd,
for he was short in stature.
So he ran ahead and climbed a sycamore tree in order to see Jesus,
who was about to pass that way.
When he reached the place, Jesus looked up and said,

"Zacchaeus, come down quickly,
for today I must stay at your house."
And he came down quickly and received him with joy.
When they all saw this, they began to grumble, saying,
"He has gone to stay at the house of a sinner."
But Zacchaeus stood there and said to the Lord,
"Behold, half of my possessions, Lord, I shall give to the poor,
and if I have extorted anything from anyone
I shall repay it four times over."
And Jesus said to him,
"Today salvation has come to this house
because this man too is a descendant of Abraham.
For the Son of Man has come to seek
and to save what was lost."
