Thanksgiving Day
First Reading: Sirach 50: 22 - 24
| 22 | And now bless the God of all, who in every way does great things; who exalts our days from birth, and deals with us according to his mercy. |
| 23 | May he give us gladness of heart, and grant that peace may be in our days in Israel, as in the days of old. |
| 24 | May he entrust to us his mercy! And let him deliver us in our days! |
Psalm: Psalms 138: 1 - 5
| 1 | I give thee thanks, O LORD, with my whole heart; before the gods I sing thy praise; |
| 2 | I bow down toward thy holy temple and give thanks to thy name for thy steadfast love and thy faithfulness; for thou hast exalted above everything thy name and thy word. |
| 3 | On the day I called, thou didst answer me, my strength of soul thou didst increase. |
| 4 | All the kings of the earth shall praise thee, O LORD, for they have heard the words of thy mouth; |
| 5 | and they shall sing of the ways of the LORD, for great is the glory of the LORD. |
Second Reading: 1 Corinthians 1: 3 - 9
| 3 | Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. |
| 4 | I give thanks to God always for you because of the grace of God which was given you in Christ Jesus, |
| 5 | that in every way you were enriched in him with all speech and all knowledge -- |
| 6 | even as the testimony to Christ was confirmed among you -- |
| 7 | so that you are not lacking in any spiritual gift, as you wait for the revealing of our Lord Jesus Christ; |
| 8 | who will sustain you to the end, guiltless in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ. |
| 9 | God is faithful, by whom you were called into the fellowship of his Son, Jesus Christ our Lord. |
Gospel: Luke 17: 11 - 19
| 11 | On the way to Jerusalem he was passing along between Sama'ria and Galilee. |
| 12 | And as he entered a village, he was met by ten lepers, who stood at a distance |
| 13 | and lifted up their voices and said, "Jesus, Master, have mercy on us." |
| 14 | When he saw them he said to them, "Go and show yourselves to the priests." And as they went they were cleansed. |
| 15 | Then one of them, when he saw that he was healed, turned back, praising God with a loud voice; |
| 16 | and he fell on his face at Jesus' feet, giving him thanks. Now he was a Samaritan. |
| 17 | Then said Jesus, "Were not ten cleansed? Where are the nine? |
| 18 | Was no one found to return and give praise to God except this foreigner?" |
| 19 | And he said to him, "Rise and go your way; your faith has made you well." |
