First ReadingEzekiel 34:1-11

From the Book of Ezekiel

1The Lord’s word came to me, saying,2“Son of man, prophesy against the shepherds of Israel.Prophesy, and tell them,even the shepherds,‘The Lord GOD says:“Woe to the shepherds of Israel who feed themselves!Shouldn’t the shepherds feed the sheep?3You eat the fat.You clothe yourself with the wool.You kill the fatlings, but you don’t feed the sheep.4You haven’t strengthened the diseased.You haven’t healed that which was sick.You haven’t bound up that which was broken.You haven’t brought back that which was driven away.You haven’t sought that which was lost,but you have ruled over them with force and with rigor.5They were scattered, because there was no shepherd.They became food to all the animals of the field,and were scattered.6My sheep wandered through all the mountainsand on every high hill.Yes, my sheep were scattered on all the surface of the earth.There was no one who searched or sought.”

7“‘Therefore, you shepherds, hear the Lord’s word:8“As I live,” says the Lord GOD,“surely because my sheep became a prey,and my sheep became food to all the animals of the field,because there was no shepherd,and my shepherds didn’t search for my sheep,but the shepherds fed themselves,and didn’t feed my sheep,9therefore, you shepherds, hear the Lord’s word!”10The Lord GOD says:“Behold, I am against the shepherds.I will require my sheep at their hand,and cause them to cease from feeding the sheep.The shepherds won’t feed themselves any more.I will deliver my sheep from their mouth,that they may not be food for them.”

11“‘For the Lord GOD says:“Behold, I myself,even I, will search for my sheep,and will seek them out.

Responsorial PsalmPsalm 23:1-3a, 3b-4, 5, 6

1The Lord is my shepherd;I shall lack nothing.2He makes me lie down in green pastures.He leads me beside still waters.3He restores my soul.

3He guides me in the paths of righteousness for his name’s sake.4Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,I will fear no evil, for you are with me.Your rod and your staff,they comfort me.

5You prepare a table before mein the presence of my enemies.You anoint my head with oil.My cup runs over.

6Surely goodness and loving kindness shall follow me all the days of my life,and I will dwell in the Lord’s house forever.

GospelMatthew 20:1-16

From the Gospel according to Matthew

1“For the Kingdom of Heaven is like a manwho was the master of a household,who went out early in the morning to hire laborers for his vineyard.2When he had agreed with the laborers for a denarius a day,he sent them into his vineyard.3He went out about the third hour,and saw others standing idle in the marketplace.4He said to them, ‘You also go into the vineyard,and whatever is right I will give you.’So they went their way.5Again he went out about the sixthand the ninth hour, and did likewise.6About the eleventh hour he went outand found others standing idle.He said to them, ‘Why do you stand here all day idle?’

7“They said to him, ‘Because no one has hired us.’

“He said to them, ‘You also go into the vineyard,and you will receive whatever is right.’

8“When evening had come,the lord of the vineyard said to his manager,‘Call the laborers and pay them their wages,beginning from the last to the first.’9“When those who were hired at about the eleventh hour came,they each received a denarius.10When the first came,they supposed that they would receive more;and they likewise each received a denarius.11When they received it,they murmured against the master of the household,12saying, ‘These last have spent one hour,and you have made them equal to uswho have borne the burden of the dayand the scorching heat!’

13“But he answered one of them,‘Friend, I am doing you no wrong.Didn’t you agree with me for a denarius?14Take that which is yours, and go your way.It is my desire to give to this last just as much as to you.15Isn’t it lawful for me to do what I want to with what I own?Or is your eye evil, because I am good?’16So the last will be first, and the first last.For many are called, but few are chosen.”

EpistleLectio

Léctio Epístolæ beáti Pauli Apóstoli ad Corínthios

2 Cor 3:4-9

Fratres: Fidúciam talem habémus per Christum ad Deum: non quod sufficiéntes simus cogitáre áliquid a nobis, quasi ex nobis: sed sufficiéntia nostra ex Deo est: qui et idóneos nos fecit minístros novi testaménti: non líttera, sed spíritu: líttera enim occídit, spíritus autem vivíficat. Quod si ministrátio mortis, lítteris deformáta in lapídibus, fuit in glória; ita ut non possent inténdere fili Israël in fáciem Moysi, propter glóriam vultus ejus, quæ evacuátur: quómodo non magis ministrátio Spíritus erit in glória? Nam si ministrátio damnatiónis glória est multo magis abúndat ministérium justítiæ in glória.

Lesson from the second letter of St. Paul the Apostle to the Corinthians

2 Cor. 3:4-9

Brethren: Such is the assurance I have through Christ toward God. Not that we are sufficient of ourselves to think anything, as from ourselves, but our sufficiency is from God. He also it is Who has made us fit ministers of the new covenant, not of the letter but of the spirit; for the letter kills, but the spirit gives life. Now if the ministration of death, which was engraved in letters upon stones, was inaugurated in such glory that the children of Israel could not look steadfastly upon the face of Moses on account of the transient glory that shone upon it, shall not the ministration of the spirit be still more glorious? For if there is glory in the ministration that condemned, much more does the ministration that justifies abound in glory.

Sequéntia ☩ sancti Evangélii secúndum Lucam

Luc 10:23-37

In illo témpore: Dixit Jesus discípulis suis: Beáti óculi, qui vident quæ vos videtis. Dico enim vobis, quod multi prophétæ et reges voluérunt vidére quæ vos videtis, et non vidérunt: et audire quæ audítis, et non audiérunt. Et ecce, quidam legisperítus surréxit, tentans illum, et dicens: Magister, quid faciéndo vitam ætérnam possidébo? At ille dixit ad eum: In lege quid scriptum est? quómodo legis? Ille respóndens, dixit: Díliges Dóminum, Deum tuum, ex toto corde tuo, et ex tota ánima tua, et ex ómnibus víribus tuis; et ex omni mente tua: et próximum tuum sicut teípsum. Dixítque illi: Recte respondísti: hoc fac, et vives. Ille autem volens justificáre seípsum, dixit ad Jesum: Et quis est meus próximus? Suscípiens autem Jesus, dixit: Homo quidam descendébat ab Jerúsalem in Jéricho, et íncidit in latrónes, qui étiam despoliavérunt eum: et plagis impósitis abiérunt, semivívo relícto. Accidit autem, ut sacerdos quidam descénderet eádem via: et viso illo præterívit. Simíliter et levíta, cum esset secus locum et vidéret eum, pertránsiit. Samaritánus autem quidam iter fáciens, venit secus eum: et videns eum, misericórdia motus est. Et apprópians, alligávit vulnera ejus, infúndens óleum et vinum: et impónens illum in juméntum suum, duxit in stábulum, et curam ejus egit. Et áltera die prótulit duos denários et dedit stabulário, et ait: Curam illíus habe: et quodcúmque supererogáveris, ego cum redíero, reddam tibi. Quis horum trium vidétur tibi próximus fuísse illi, qui íncidit in latrónes? At ille dixit: Qui fecit misericórdiam in illum. Et ait illi Jesus: Vade, et tu fac simíliter.

Continuation ☩ of the Holy Gospel according to Luke

Luke 10:23-37

At that time, Jesus said to His disciples: Blessed are the eyes that see what you see! For I say to you, many prophets and kings have desired to see what you see, and they have not seen it; and to hear what you hear, and they have not heard it. And behold, a certain lawyer got up to test Him, saying, Master, what must I do to gain eternal life? But He said to him, What is written in the Law? How do you read? He answered and said, You shall love the Lord your God with your whole heart, and with your whole soul, and with your whole strength, and with your whole mind; and your neighbor as yourself. And He said to him, You have answered rightly; do this and you shall live. But he, wishing to justify himself, said to Jesus, And who is my neighbor? Jesus answered and said, A certain man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and he fell in with robbers, who after both stripping him and beating him went their way, leaving him half-dead. But, as it happened, a certain priest was going down the same way; and when he saw him, he passed by. And likewise a Levite also, when he was near the place and saw him, passed by. But a certain Samaritan as he journeyed came upon him, and seeing him, was moved with compassion. And he went up to him and bound up his wounds, pouring on oil and wine. And setting him on his own beast, he brought him to an inn and took care of him. And the next day he took out two denarii and gave them to the innkeeper and said, ‘Take care of him; and whatever more you spend, I, on my way back, will repay you.’ Which of these three, in your opinion, proved himself neighbor to him who fell among the robbers? And he said, He who took pity on him. And Jesus said to him, Go and do also in like manner.

Exod 32:11 32:13; 32:14

Precátus est Moyses in conspéctu Dómini, Dei sui, et dixit: Quare, Dómine, irásceris in pópulo tuo? Parce iræ ánimæ tuæ: meménto Abraham, Isaac et Jacob, quibus jurásti dare terram fluéntem lac et mel. Et placátus factus est Dóminus de malignitáte, quam dixit fácere pópulo suo.

Ex 32:11, 13-14.

Moses prayed in the sight of the Lord his God and said, Why, O Lord, is Your indignation enkindled against Your people? Let the anger of Your mind cease; remember Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, to whom You swore to give a land flowing with milk and honey. And the Lord was appeased from doing the evil which He had spoken of doing against His people.
