First ReadingSirach 2:1-11

From the Book of Sirach

1My son, if you come to serve the Lord,prepare your soul for temptation.2Set your heart aright, constantly endure,and don’t make haste in time of calamity.3Cling to him, and don’t depart,that you may be increased at your latter end.4Accept whatever is brought upon you,and be patient when you suffer humiliation.5For gold is tried in the fire,and acceptable men in the furnace of humiliation.6Put your trust in him, and he will help you.Make your ways straight, and set your hope on him.7All you who fear the Lord, wait for his mercy.Don’t turn aside, lest you fall.8All you who fear the Lord, put your trust in him,and your reward will not fail.9All you who fear the Lord, hope for good things,and for eternal gladness and mercy.10Look at the generations of old, and see:Who ever put his trust in the Lord, and was ashamed?Or who remained in his fear, and was forsaken?Or who called upon him, and he neglected him?11For the Lord is full of compassion and mercy.He forgives sins and saves in time of affliction.

Responsorial PsalmPsalm 37:3-4, 18-19, 27-28, 39-40

3Trust in the Lord, and do good.Dwell in the land, and enjoy safe pasture.4Also delight yourself in the Lord,and he will give you the desires of your heart.

18The Lord knows the days of the perfect.Their inheritance shall be forever.19They shall not be disappointed in the time of evil.In the days of famine they shall be satisfied.

27Depart from evil, and do good.Live securely forever.28For the Lord loves justice,and doesn’t forsake his saints.They are preserved forever,but the children of the wicked shall be cut off.

39But the salvation of the righteous is from the Lord.He is their stronghold in the time of trouble.40The Lord helps them and rescues them.He rescues them from the wicked and saves them,because they have taken refuge in him.

GospelMark 9:30-37

From the Gospel according to Mark

30They went out from there and passed through Galilee.He didn’t want anyone to know it,31for he was teaching his disciples,and said to them, “The Son of Man is being handed over to the hands of men,and they will kill him;and when he is killed,on the third day he will rise again.”

32But they didn’t understand the saying,and were afraid to ask him.

33He came to Capernaum,and when he was in the house he asked them,“What were you arguing among yourselves on the way?”

34But they were silent,for they had disputed with one another on the way aboutwho was the greatest.

35He sat down and called the twelve;and he said to them,“If any man wants to be first,he shall be last of all,and servant of all.”36He took a little child and set him in the middle of them.Taking him in his arms, he said to them,37“Whoever receives one such little child in my name receives me;and whoever receives me,doesn’t receive me,but him who sent me.”

EpistleLectio

Léctio Epístolæ beáti Pauli Apóstoli ad Timótheum

2 Tim 4:1-8

Caríssime: Testíficor coram Deo, et Jesu Christo, qui judicatúrus est vivos et mórtuos, per advéntum ipsíus et regnum ejus: prǽdica verbum, insta opportúne, importune: árgue, óbsecra, íncrepa in omni patiéntia, et doctrína. Erit enim tempus, cum sanam doctrínam non sustinébunt, sed ad sua desidéria, coacervábunt sibi magistros, pruriéntes áuribus, et a veritáte quidem audítum avértent, ad fábulas autem converténtur. Tu vero vígila, in ómnibus labóra, opus fac Evangelístæ, ministérium tuum imple. Sóbrius esto. Ego enim jam delíbor, et tempus resolutiónis meæ instat. Bonum certámen certávi, cursum consummávi, fidem servávi. In réliquo repósita est mihi coróna justítiæ, quam reddet mihi Dóminus in illa die, justus judex: non solum autem mihi, sed et iis, qui díligunt advéntum ejus.

Lesson from the second letter of St Paul the Apostle to Timothy

2 Tim 4:1-8

Dearly beloved: I charge thee, before God and Jesus Christ, who shall judge the living and the dead, by his coming, and his kingdom: Preach the word: be instant in season, out of season: reprove, entreat, rebuke in all patience and doctrine. For there shall be a time, when they will not endure sound doctrine; but, according to their own desires, they will heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears: And will indeed turn away their hearing from the truth, but will be turned unto fables. But be thou vigilant, labour in all things, do the work of an evangelist, fulfil thy ministry. Be sober. For I am even now ready to be sacrificed: and the time of my dissolution is at hand. I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith. As to the rest, there is laid up for me a crown of justice, which the Lord the just judge will render to me in that day: and not only to me, but to them also that love his coming.

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.

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:
