First ReadingProverbs 31:10-13, 19-20, 30-31

From the Book of Proverbs

10Who can find a worthy woman?For her value is far above rubies.11The heart of her husband trusts in her.He shall have no lack of gain.12She does him good, and not harm,all the days of her life.13She seeks wool and flax,and works eagerly with her hands. verses 14–18 are not read19She lays her hands to the distaff,and her hands hold the spindle.20She opens her arms to the poor;yes, she extends her hands to the needy. verses 21–29 are not read30Charm is deceitful, and beauty is vain;but a woman who fears the Lord, she shall be praised.31Give her of the fruit of her hands!Let her works praise her in the gates!

Responsorial PsalmJudith 13:18bcde, 19, 20

From the Book of Judith

18Ozias said to her,“Blessed are you, daughter,in the sight of the Most High God,above all the women upon the earth;and blessed is the Lord God,who created the heavens and the earth,who directed you to cut off the head of the prince of our enemies.

19For your hope will not depart from the heart of menthat remember the strength of God forever.

20May God turn these things to you for a perpetual praise,to visit you with good things,because you didn’t spare your life by reason of the affliction of our race,but prevented our ruin,walking a straight way before our God.”

And all the people said, “Amen! Amen!”

Second ReadingJames 3:13-18

From the Letter of James

13Who is wise and understanding among you?Let him show by his good conductthat his deeds are done in gentleness of wisdom.14But if you have bitter jealousyand selfish ambition in your heart,don’t boast and don’t lie against the truth.15This wisdom is not that which comes down from above,but is earthly, sensual, and demonic.16For where jealousy and selfish ambition are,there is confusion and every evil deed.17But the wisdom that is from above is first pure,then peaceful, gentle,reasonable, full of mercy and good fruits,without partiality,and without hypocrisy.18Now the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace by those who make peace.

GospelLuke 1:39-56

From the Gospel according to Luke

39Mary arose in those daysand went into the hill country with haste,into a city of Judah,40and entered into the house of Zachariasand greeted Elizabeth.41When Elizabeth heard Mary’s greeting,the baby leaped in her womb;and Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit.42She called out with a loud voice and said,“Blessed are you among women,and blessed is the fruit of your womb!43Why am I so favored,that the mother of my Lord should come to me?44For behold, when the voice of your greeting came into my ears,the baby leaped in my womb for joy!45Blessed is she who believed,for there will be a fulfillment of the thingswhich have been spoken to her from the Lord!”

46Mary said,

“My soul magnifies the Lord.47My spirit has rejoiced in God my Savior,48for he has looked at the humble state of his servant.For behold, from now on, all generations will call me blessed.49For he who is mighty has done great things for me.Holy is his name.50His mercy is for generations and generations on those who fear him.51He has shown strength with his arm.He has scattered the proud in the imagination of their hearts.52He has put down princes from their thrones,and has exalted the lowly.53He has filled the hungry with good things.He has sent the rich away empty.54He has given help to Israel, his servant, that he might remember mercy,55as he spoke to our fathers,to Abraham and his offspring forever.”

56Mary stayed with her about three months,and then returned to her house.

EpistleLectio

Léctio Epístolæ beáti Petri Apóstoli

1 Pet 5:1-4; 5:10-11

Caríssimi: Senióres, qui in vobis sunt, obsécro consénior et testis Christi passiónum, qui et ejus, quæ in futúro revelánda est, glóriæ communicátor: páscite qui in vobis est gregem Dei, providéntes non coácte, sed spontánee secúndum Deum, neque turpis lucri grátia, sed voluntárie; neque ut dominántes in cleris, sed forma facti gregis ex ánimo. Et, cum apparúerit princeps pastórum, percipiétis immarcescíbilem glóriæ corónam. Deus autem omnis grátiæ, qui vocávit nos in ætérnam suam glóriam in Christo Jesu, módicum passos ipse perfíciet, confirmábit solidabítque. Ipsi glória et impérium in sǽcula sæculórum. Amen.

Lesson from the first letter of St Peter the Apostle

1 Pet 5:1-4; 5:10-11.

Dearly beloved brethren: The ancients therefore that are among you, I beseech, who am myself also an ancient, and a witness of the sufferings of Christ: as also a partaker of that glory which is to be revealed in time to come: Feed the flock of God which is among you, taking care of it, not by constraint, but willingly, according to God: not for filthy lucre's sake, but voluntarily: Neither as lording it over the clergy, but being made a pattern of the flock from the heart. And when the prince of pastors shall appear, you shall receive a never fading crown of glory. But the God of all grace, who hath called us into his eternal glory in Christ Jesus, after you have suffered a little, will himself perfect you, and confirm you, and establish you. To him be glory and empire for ever and ever. Amen.

GospelEvangelium

Sequéntia ☩ sancti Evangélii secúndum Matthǽum

Matt 16:13-19

In illo témpore: Venit Jesus in partes Cæsaréæ Philíppi, et interrogábat discípulos suos, dicens: Quem dicunt hómines esse Fílium hóminis? At illi dixérunt: Alii Joánnem Baptístam, alii autem Elíam, álii vero Jeremíam, aut unum ex prophétis. Dicit illis Jesus: Vos autem quem me esse dícitis? Respóndens Simon Petrus, dixit: Tu es Christus, Fílius Dei vivi. Respóndens autem Jesus, dixit ei: Beátus es, Simon Bar Jona: quia caro et sanguis non revelávit tibi, sed Pater meus, qui in cœlis est. Et ego dico tibi, quia tu es Petrus, et super hanc petram ædificábo Ecclésiam meam, et portæ ínferi non prævalébunt advérsus eam. Et tibi dabo claves regni cœlórum. Et quodcúmque ligáveris super terram, erit ligátum et in cœlis: et quodcúmque sólveris super terram, erit solútum et in cœlis.

Continuation ☩ of the Holy Gospel according to Matthew

Matt 16:13-19

In that time: Jesus came into the quarters of Caesarea Philippi: and he asked his disciples, saying: Whom do men say that the Son of man is? But they said: Some John the Baptist, and other some Elias, and others Jeremias, or one of the prophets. Jesus saith to them: But whom do you say that I am? Simon Peter answered and said: Thou art Christ, the Son of the living God. And Jesus answering, said to him: Blessed art thou, Simon Bar-Jona: because flesh and blood hath not revealed it to thee, but my Father who is in heaven. And I say to thee: That thou art Peter; and upon this rock I will build My Church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. And I will give to thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven. And whatsoever thou shalt bind upon earth, it shall be bound also in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose upon earth, it shall be loosed also in 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:
