First ReadingActs 20:17-27

From the Acts of the Apostles

17From Miletus he sent to Ephesusand called to himself the elders of the assembly.18When they had come to him,he said to them, “You yourselves know,from the first day that I set foot in Asia,how I was with you all the time,19serving the Lord with all humility,with many tears, and with trialswhich happened to me by the plots of the Jews;20how I didn’t shrink from declaring to you anythingthat was profitable,teaching you publicly and from house to house,21testifying both to Jewsand to Greeks repentance toward Godand faith toward our Lord Jesus.22Now, behold, I go bound by the Spirit to Jerusalem,not knowing what will happen to me there;23except that the Holy Spirit testifies in every city,saying that bonds and afflictions wait for me.24But these things don’t count;nor do I hold my life dear to myself,so that I may finish my race with joy,and the ministry which I received from the Lord Jesus,to fully testify to the Good News of the grace of God.

25“Now, behold, I know that you all,among whom I went about preaching God’s Kingdom,will see my face no more.26Therefore I testify to you todaythat I am clean from the blood of all men,27for I didn’t shrink from declaring to you the whole counsel of God.

Responsorial PsalmPsalm 68:10-11, 20-21

10You, God, sent a plentiful rain.You confirmed your inheritance when it was weary.11Your congregation lived therein.You, God, prepared your goodness for the poor.

20Blessed be the Lord, who daily bears our burdens,even the God who is our salvation.21God is to us a God of deliverance.To GOD, the Lord, belongs escape from death.

GospelJohn 17:1-11a

From the Gospel according to John

1Jesus said these things,then lifting up his eyes to heaven,he said, “Father, the time has come.Glorify your Son, that your Son may also glorify you;2even as you gave him authority over all flesh,so he will give eternal life to allwhom you have given him.3This is eternal life,that they should know you,the only true God,and him whom you sent, Jesus Christ.4I glorified you on the earth.I have accomplished the workwhich you have given me to do.5Now, Father, glorify me with your own self with the glorywhich I had with you before the world existed.

6“I revealed your name to the peoplewhom you have given me out of the world.They were yours, and you have given them to me.They have kept your word.7Now they have knownthat all things whatever you have given me are from you,8for the wordswhich you have given me I have given to them;and they received them,and knew for sure that I came from you.They have believed that you sent me.9I pray for them.I don’t pray for the world,but for those whom you have given me,for they are yours.10All things that are mine are yours,and yours are mine,and I am glorified in them.11I am no more in the world,but these are in the world,and I am coming to you.Holy Father, keep them through your namewhich you have given me,that they may be one, even as we are.

EpistleLectio

Léctio libri Sapiéntiæ

Sap 7:7-14

Optávi, et datus est mihi sensus: et invocávi, et venit in me spíritus sapiéntiæ: et præpósui illam regnis et sédibus, et divítias nihil esse duxi in comparatióne illíus: nec comparávi illi lápidem pretiósum: quóniam omne aurum in comparatióne illíus arena est exígua, et tamquam lutum æstimábitur argéntum in conspéctu illíus. Super salútem et spéciem diléxi illam, et propósui pro luce habére illam: quóniam inexstinguíbile est lumen illíus. Venérunt autem mihi ómnia bona páriter cum illa, et innumerábilis honéstas per manus illíus, et lætátus sum in ómnibus: quóniam antecedébat me ista sapiéntia, et ignorábam, quóniam horum ómnium mater est. Quam sine fictióne dídici et sine invídia commúnico, et honestátem illíus non abscóndo. Infinítus enim thesáurus est homínibus: quo qui usi sunt, partícipes facti sunt amicítiæ Dei, propter disciplínæ dona commendáti.

Lesson from the book of Wisdom

Wis 7:7-14.

I prayed, and prudence was given me; I pleaded, and the spirit of Wisdom came to me. I preferred her to scepter and throne, and deemed riches nothing in comparison with her. Nor did I liken any priceless gem to her; because all gold, in view of her, is a little sand, and before her, silver is to be accounted mire. Beyond health and comeliness I loved her, and I chose to have her rather than the light, because the splendor of her never yields to sleep. Yet all good things together came to me in her company, and countless riches at her hands; and I rejoiced in them all, because Wisdom is their leader, though I had not known that she is the mother of these. Simply I learned about her, and ungrudgingly do I share - her riches I do not hide away; for to men she is an unfailing treasure; those who gain this treasure win the friendship of God, to Whom the gifts they have from discipline commend them.

GospelEvangelium

Sequéntia ☩ sancti Evangélii secúndum Matthǽum

Matt 5:13-19

In illo témpore: Dixit Jesus discípulis suis: Vos estis sal terræ. Quod si sal evanúerit, in quo saliétur? Ad níhilum valet ultra, nisi ut mittátur foras, et conculcétur ab homínibus. Vos estis lux mundi. ¶ Non potest cívitas abscóndi supra montem pósita. Neque accéndunt lucérnam, et ponunt eam sub módio, sed super candelábrum, ut lúceat ómnibus, qui in domo sunt. Sic luceat lux vestra coram homínibus, ut vídeant ópera vestra bona, et gloríficent Patrem vestrum, qui in cœlis est. Nolíte putáre, quóniam veni sólvere legem aut prophétas: non veni sólvere, sed adimplére. Amen, quippe dico vobis, donec tránseat cœlum et terra, jota unum aut unus apex non præteríbit a lege, donec ómnia fiant. Qui ergo sólverit unum de mandátis istis mínimis, et docúerit sic hómines, mínimus vocábitur in regno cœlórum: qui autem fécerit et docúerit, hic magnus vocábitur in regno cœlórum.

Continuation ☩ of the Holy Gospel according to Matthew

Matt 5:13-19

In that time Jesus said to His disciples: You are the salt of the earth. But if the salt lose its savour, wherewith shall it be salted? It is good for nothing any more but to be cast out, and to be trodden on by men. You are the light of the world. A city seated on a mountain cannot be hid. Neither do men light a candle and put it under a bushel, but upon a candlestick, that it may shine to all that are in the house. So let your light shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father who is in heaven. Do not think that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets. I am not come to destroy, but to fulfill. For amen I say unto you, till heaven and earth pass, one jot, or one tittle shall not pass of the law, till all be fulfilled. He therefore that shall break one of these least commandments, and shall so teach men, shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven. But he that shall do and teach, he shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.

PrefacePrefatio

de Ascensione Domini

Vere dignum et justum est, æquum et salutáre, nos tibi semper et ubíque grátias ágere: Dómine sancte, Pater omnípotens, ætérne Deus: per Christum, Dóminum nostrum. Qui post resurrectiónem suam ómnibus discípulis suis maniféstus appáruit et, ipsis cernéntibus, est elevátus in cælum, ut nos divinitátis suæ tribúeret esse partícipes. Et ídeo cum Angelis et Archángelis, cum Thronis et Dominatiónibus cumque omni milítia cœléstis exércitus hymnum glóriæ tuæ cánimus, sine fine dicéntes:

Ascension

It is truly meet and just, right and for our salvation, that we should at all times, and in all places, give thanks unto Thee, O holy Lord, Father almighty, everlasting God: through Christ our Lord. Who, after His Resurrection, appeared openly to all His disciples, and, while they looked on, was taken up into heaven, that He might grant unto us to be sharers in His own divinity. And therefore, with Angels and Archangels, with Thrones and Dominations, and with all the hosts of the heavenly army, we sing the hymn of Thy glory, evermore saying:
