First ReadingDeuteronomy 6:2-6

From the Book of Deuteronomy

2that you might fear the Lord your God,to keep all his statutes and his commandments,which I command you—you, your son, and your son’s son,all the days of your life;and that your days may be prolonged.3Hear therefore, Israel,and observe to do it,that it may be well with you,and that you may increase mightily,as the Lord, the God of your fathers,has promised to you,in a land flowing with milk and honey.

4Hear, Israel:The Lord is our God.The Lord is one.5You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart,with all your soul,and with all your might.6These words, which I command you today,shall be on your heart;

Responsorial PsalmPsalm 18:2-3, 3-4, 47, 51

2I love you, Lord, my strength.3The Lord is my rock, my fortress, and my deliverer;

3my God, my rock, in whom I take refuge;my shield, and the horn of my salvation, my high tower.4I call on the Lord, who is worthy to be praised;and I am saved from my enemies.

47The Lord lives! Blessed be my rock.Exalted be the God of my salvation,

51He gives great deliverance to his king,and shows loving kindness to his anointed,to David and to his offspring, forever more.

Second ReadingHebrews 7:23-28

From the Letter to the Hebrews

23Many, indeed, have been made priests,because they are hindered from continuing by death.24But he, because he lives forever,has his priesthood unchangeable.25Therefore he is also able to save to the uttermost thosewho draw near to God through him,seeing that he lives forever to make intercession for them.

26For such a high priest was fitting for us:holy, guiltless, undefiled,separated from sinners,and made higher than the heavens;27who doesn’t need, like those high priests,to offer up sacrifices daily,first for his own sins,and then for the sins of the people.For he did this once for all, when he offered up himself.28For the law appoints men as high priests who have weakness,but the word of the oath,which came after the law,appoints a Son forever who has been perfected.

GospelMark 12:28b-34

From the Gospel according to Mark

28One of the scribes cameand heard them questioning together,and knowing that he had answered them well,asked him, “Which commandment is the greatest of all?”

29Jesus answered, “The greatest is:‘Hear, Israel, the Lord our God, the Lord is one.30You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart,with all your soul,with all your mind,and with all your strength.’This is the first commandment.31The second is like this:‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’There is no other commandment greater than these.”

32The scribe said to him,“Truly, teacher, you have said well that he is one,and there is none other but he;33and to love him with all the heart,with all the understanding,all the soul, and with all the strength,and to love his neighbor as himself,is more important than all whole burnt offerings and sacrifices.”

34When Jesus saw that he answered wisely,he said to him, “You are not far from God’s Kingdom.”

No one dared ask him any question after that.

EpistleLectio

Léctio Epístolæ beáti Pauli Apóstoli ad Colossénses.

Col 1:12-20

Fratres: Grátias ágimus Deo Patri, qui dignos nos fecit in partem sortis sanctórum in lúmine: qui erípuit nos de potestáte tenebrárum, et tránstulit in regnum Fílii dilectiónis suæ, in quo habémus redemptiónem per sánguinem ejus, remissiónem peccatórum: qui est imágo Dei invisíbilis, primogénitus omnis creatúra: quóniam in ipso cóndita sunt univérsa in cœlis et in terra, visibília et invisibília, sive Throni, sive Dominatiónes, sive Principátus, sive Potestátes: ómnia per ipsum, et in ipso creáta sunt: et ipse est ante omnes, et ómnia in ipso constant. Et ipse est caput córporis Ecclésiæ, qui est princípium, primogénitus ex mórtuis: ut sit in ómnibus ipse primátum tenens; quia in ipso complácuit omnem plenitúdinem inhabitáre; et per eum reconciliáre ómnia in ipsum, pacíficans per sánguinem crucis ejus, sive quæ in terris, sive quæ in cœlis sunt, in Christo Jesu Dómino nostro.

Lesson from the letter of St. Paul the Apostle to the Colossians

Col 1:12-20.

Brethren: We give thanks to God the Father Who has made us worthy to share the lot of the saints in light. He has rescued us from the power of darkness, and transferred us into the kingdom of His beloved Son, in Whom we have our redemption through His blood, the remission of sins. He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature. For in Him were created all things in the heavens and on the earth, things visible and things invisible, whether Thrones, or Dominations, or Principalities, or Powers. All things have been created through and unto Him, and He is before all creatures, and in Him all things hold together. Again, He is the head of the body, the Church; He, Who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, that in all things He may have the first place. For it has pleased God the Father that in Him all fullness should dwell and that through Him He should reconcile to Himself all things, whether on the earth or in the heavens, making peace through the blood of His Cross, in Christ Jesus our Lord.

GospelEvangelium

Sequéntia ☩ sancti Evangélii secúndum Joánnem.

Joann 18:33-37

In illo témpore: Dixit Pilátus ad Jesum: Tu es Rex Judæórum? Respóndit Jesus: A temetípso hoc dicis, an álii dixérunt tibi de me? Respóndit Pilátus: Numquid ego Judǽus sum? Gens tua et pontífices tradidérunt te mihi: quid fecísti? Respóndit Jesus: Regnum meum non est de hoc mundo. Si ex hoc mundo esset regnum meum, minístri mei útique decertárent, ut non tráderer Judǽis: nunc autem regnum meum non est hinc. Dixit ítaque ei Pilátus: Ergo Rex es tu? Respóndit Jesus: Tu dicis, quia Rex sum ego. Ego in hoc natus sum et ad hoc veni in mundum, ut testimónium perhíbeam veritáti: omnis, qui est ex veritáte, audit vocem meam.

Continuation ☩ of the Holy Gospel according to John

John 18:33-37

At that time, Pilate said to Jesus, Are You the King of the Jews? Jesus answered, Do you say this of yourself, or have others told you of Me? Pilate answered, Am I a Jew? Your own people and the chief priests have delivered You to me. What have You done? Jesus answered, My kingdom is not of this world. If My kingdom were of this world, My followers would certainly have fought that I might not be delivered to the Hebrews. But, as it is, My kingdom is not from here. Pilate therefore said to Him, You are then a King? Jesus answered, You say it: I am a King. This is why I was born, and why I have come into the world, to bear witness to the truth. Everyone who is of the truth hears My voice.

Christ the King

It is 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: Who didst anoint, with the oil of gladness, Thine only-begotten Son, our Lord Jesus Christ, to be the eternal Priest and King of the universe; that by offering Himself a spotless Victim and peace-offering on the altar of the Cross, He might accomplish the mysteries of man's redemption, and that having subjected all creatures to His dominion, He might present to Thine infinite Majesty an everlasting and universal Kingdom; a kingdom of truth and life; and kingdom of holiness and grace; a kingdom of justice, love, and peace. 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:
