Reading 1: 1 Thes 4:9-11
But concerning the charity of brotherhood, we have no need to write to you. For you yourselves have learned from God that you should love one another. For indeed, you act in this way with all the brothers in all of Macedonia. But we petition you, brothers, so that you may abound all the more, to choose work that allows you to be tranquil, and to carry out your business and to do your work with your own hands, just as we have instructed you.

Responsorial Psalm: Ps 98:1, 7-8, 9
R. The Lord comes to rule the earth with justice.

Sing to the Lord a new canticle: because he has done wonderful things. His right hand has wrought salvation for him, and his arm is holy.
R. The Lord comes to rule the earth with justice.

Let the sea be moved and its fullness, the world and those who dwell therein. The rivers shall clap their hands, the mountains shall rejoice together.
R. The Lord comes to rule the earth with justice.

At the presence of the Lord, because he comes to judge the earth. He shall judge the world with justice, and the people with equity.
R. The Lord comes to rule the earth with justice.

Alleluia: Jn 13:34
R. Alleluia, alleluia.
I give you a new commandment:
love one another as I have loved you.
R. Alleluia, alleluia.

Gospel: Matthew 25:14-30
For it is like a man setting out on a long journey, who called his servants and delivered to them his goods. And to one he gave five talents, and to another two, yet to another he gave one, to each according to his own ability. And promptly, he set out. Then he who had received five talents went out, and he made use of these, and he gained another five. And similarly, he who had received two gained another two. But he who had received one, going out, dug into the earth, and he hid the money of his lord. Yet truly, after a long time, the lord of those servants returned and he settled accounts with them. And when he who had received five talents approached, he brought another five talents, saying: ‘Lord, you delivered five talents to me. Behold, I have increased it by another five.’ His lord said to him: ‘Well done, good and faithful servant. Since you have been faithful over a few things, I will appoint you over many things. Enter into the gladness of your lord.’ Then he who had received two talents also approached, and he said: ‘Lord, you delivered two talents to me. Behold, I have gained another two.’ His lord said to him: ‘Well done, good and faithful servant. Since you have been faithful over a few things, I will appoint you over many things. Enter into the gladness of your lord.’ Then he who had received one talent, approaching, said: ‘Lord, I know that you are a hard man. You reap where you have not sown, and gather where you have not scattered. And so, being afraid, I went out and hid your talent in the earth. Behold, you have what is yours.’ But his lord said to him in response: ‘You evil and lazy servant! You knew that I reap where I have not sown, and gather where I have not scattered. Therefore, you should have deposited my money with the bankers, and then, at my arrival, at least I would have received what is mine with interest. And so, take the talent away from him and give it to the one who has ten talents. For to everyone who has, more shall be given, and he shall have in abundance. But from him who has not, even what he seems to have, shall be taken away. And cast that useless servant into the outer darkness, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.’
