November 16th : First Reading
It is our duty to welcome missionaries and contribute our share to their work
A reading from the third letter of St.John 5-8
My friend, you have done faithful work in looking after these brothers, even though they were complete strangers to you. They are a proof to the whole Church of your charity and it would be a very good thing if you could help them on their journey in a way that God would approve. It was entirely for the sake of the name that they set out, without depending on the pagans for anything; it is our duty to welcome men of this sort and contribute our share to their work for the truth.
The Word of the Lord.
