First Reading1 Samuel 16:1-13

From the First Book of Samuel

1The Lord said to Samuel,“How long will you mourn for Saul,since I have rejected him from being king over Israel?Fill your horn with oil, and go.I will send you to Jesse the Bethlehemite,for I have provided a king for myself among his sons.”

2Samuel said, “How can I go?If Saul hears it, he will kill me.”

The Lord said, “Take a heifer with you,and say, ‘I have come to sacrifice to the Lord.’3Call Jesse to the sacrifice,and I will show you what you shall do.You shall anoint to me him whom I name to you.”

4Samuel did that which the Lord spoke,and came to Bethlehem.The elders of the city came to meet him trembling,and said, “Do you come peaceably?”

5He said, “Peaceably;I have come to sacrifice to the Lord.Sanctify yourselves, and come with me to the sacrifice.”He sanctified Jesse and his sons,and called them to the sacrifice.6When they had come,he looked at Eliab,and said, “Surely the Lord’s anointed is before him.”

7But the Lord said to Samuel,“Don’t look on his face,or on the height of his stature,because I have rejected him;for I don’t see as man sees.For man looks at the outward appearance,but the Lord looks at the heart.”

8Then Jesse called Abinadab,and made him pass before Samuel.He said, “The Lord has not chosen this one, either.”9Then Jesse made Shammah to pass by.He said, “The Lord has not chosen this one, either.”10Jesse made seven of his sons to pass before Samuel.Samuel said to Jesse, “The Lord has not chosen these.”11Samuel said to Jesse, “Are all your children here?”

He said, “There remains yet the youngest.Behold, he is keeping the sheep.”

Samuel said to Jesse,“Send and get him,for we will not sit down until he comes here.”

12He sent, and brought him in.Now he was ruddy, with a handsome faceand good appearance.The Lord said, “Arise!Anoint him, for this is he.”

13Then Samuel took the horn of oiland anointed him in the middle of his brothers.Then the Lord’s Spirit came mightily on David from that day forward.So Samuel rose up and went to Ramah.

Responsorial PsalmPsalm 89:20, 21-22, 27-28

20Then you spoke in vision to your saints,and said, “I have given strength to the warrior.I have exalted a young man from the people.

21I have found David, my servant.I have anointed him with my holy oil,22with whom my hand shall be established.My arm will also strengthen him.

27He will call to me, ‘You are my Father,my God, and the rock of my salvation!’28I will also appoint him my firstborn,the highest of the kings of the earth.

GospelMark 2:23-28

From the Gospel according to Mark

23He was going on the Sabbath day through the grain fields;and his disciples began,as they went, to pluck the ears of grain.24The Pharisees said to him,“Behold, why do they do thatwhich is not lawful on the Sabbath day?”

25He said to them, “Did you never read what David didwhen he had need and was hungry—he, and those who were with him?26How he entered into God’s house at the time of Abiathar the high priest,and ate the show bread,which is not lawful to eat except for the priests,and gave also to those who were with him?”

27He said to them, “The Sabbath was made for man,not man for the Sabbath.28Therefore the Son of Man is lord even of the Sabbath.”

EpistleLectio

Léctio libri Sapiéntiæ

Eccli 51:1-8; 51:12

Confitébor tibi, Dómine, Rex, et collaudábo te Deum, Salvatórem meum. Confitébor nómini tuo: quóniam adjútor et protéctor factus es mihi, et liberásti corpus meum a perditióne, a láqueo línguæ iníquæ et a lábiis operántium mendácium, et in conspéctu astántium factus es mihi adjutor. Et liberasti me secúndum multitúdinem misericórdiæ nóminis tui a rugiéntibus, præparátis ad escam, de mánibus quæréntium ánimam meam, et de portis tribulatiónum, quæ circumdedérunt me: a pressúra flammæ, quæ circúmdedit me, et in médio ignis non sum æstuáta: de altitúdine ventris ínferi, et a lingua coinquináta, et a verbo mendácii, a rege iníquo, et a lingua injústa: laudábit usque ad mortem ánima mea Dóminum: quóniam éruis sustinéntes te, et líberas eos de mánibus géntium, Dómine, Deus noster.

Lesson from the book of Ecclesiasticus

Sir 51:1-8; 51:12

I will give You thanks, O Lord, O King; I will praise You, O God my Saviour! I will make known Your name; for You have preserved my body from destruction, from the scourge of a slanderous tongue, and from lips that went over to falsehood; and in the sight of those who stood by, You have been my helper. And You have delivered me, according to the multitude of the mercy of Your name, from those who did roar, prepared to devour; from the power of those who sought my life, and from the gates of afflictions which compassed me about; from the oppression of the flames which hemmed me in on every side, and in the midst of the fire I was not burnt; from the deep belly of the nether world, and from an unclean tongue, and from lying words, from an unjust king, and from dishonest tongues. My soul shall praise the Lord even to death; because You, O Lord, our God, save those who take refuge in You, and rescue them out of the hands of the nations.

GospelEvangelium

Sequéntia ☩ sancti Evangélii secúndum Matthǽum

Matt 25:1-13

In illo témpore: Dixit Jesus discípulis suis parábolam hanc: Símile erit regnum coelórum decem virgínibus: quæ, accipiéntes lámpades suas, exiérunt óbviam sponso et sponsæ. Quinque autem ex eis erant fátuæ, et quinque prudéntes: ¶ sed quinque fátuæ, accéptis lampádibus, non sumpsérunt óleum secum: prudéntes vero accepérunt óleum in vasis suis cum lampádibus. Moram autem faciénte sponso, dormitavérunt omnes et dormiérunt. Média autem nocte clamor factus est: Ecce, sponsus venit, exíte óbviam ei. Tunc surrexérunt omnes vírgines íllæ, et ornavérunt lámpades suas. Fátuæ autem sapiéntibus dixérunt: Date nobis de óleo vestro: quia lámpades nostræ exstinguúntur. Respondérunt prudéntes, dicéntes: Ne forte non suffíciat nobis et vobis, ite pótius ad vendéntes, et émite vobis. Dum autem irent émere, venit sponsus: et quæ parátæ erant, intravérunt cum eo ad núptias, et clausa est jánua. Novíssime vero véniunt et réliquæ vírgines, dicéntes: Dómine, Dómine, áperi nobis. At ille respóndens, ait: Amen, dico vobis, néscio vos. Vigiláte ítaque, quia nescítis diem neque horam.

Continuation ☩ of the Holy Gospel according to Matthew

Matt 25:1-13.

At that time Jesus spoke this parable to His disciples: “Then will the kingdom of heaven be like ten virgins who took their lamps and went forth to meet the bridegroom and the bride. Five of them were foolish and five wise. But the five foolish, when they took their lamps, took no oil with them, while the wise did take oil in their vessels with the lamps. Then as the bridegroom was long in coming, they all became drowsy and slept. And at midnight a cry arose, 'Behold, the bridegroom is coming, go forth to meet him!' Then all those virgins arose and trimmed their lamps. And the foolish said to the wise, 'Give us some of your oil, for our lamps are going out.' The wise answered, saying, 'Lest there may not be enough for us and for you, go rather to those who sell it, and buy some for yourselves.' Now while they were gone to buy it, the bridegroom came; and those who were ready went in with him to the marriage feast, and the door was shut. Finally there came also the other virgins, who said, 'Sir, sir, open the door for us!' But he answered and said, 'Amen I say to you, I do not know you.' Watch therefore, for you know neither the day nor the hour.”

Common

It is truly meet and just, and profitable unto salvation, that we should at all times, and in all places, give thanks to Thee, O Holy Lord, Father Almighty, eternal God, through Christ, our Lord. Through whom the Angels praise Thy Majesty, the Dominions adore it, the Powers are in awe. Which the heavens and the hosts of heaven together with the blessed Seraphim joyfully do magnify. And do Thou command that it be permitted us to join with them in confessing Thee, while we say with lowly praise:
