First ReadingEphesians 4:1-6

From the Letter of Paul to the Ephesians

1I therefore, the prisoner in the Lord,beg you to walk worthily of the calling withwhich you were called,2with all lowliness and humility,with patience, bearing with one another in love,3being eager to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.4There is one body and one Spirit,even as you also were called in one hope of your calling,5one Lord, one faith, one baptism,6one God and Father of all,who is over all and through all and in us all.

Responsorial PsalmPsalm 24:1-2, 3-4ab, 5-6

1The earth is the Lord’s, with its fullness;the world, and those who dwell in it.2For he has founded it on the seas,and established it on the floods.

3Who may ascend to the Lord’s hill?Who may stand in his holy place?4He who has clean hands and a pure heart;who has not lifted up his soul to falsehood,and has not sworn deceitfully.

5He shall receive a blessing from the Lord,righteousness from the God of his salvation.6This is the generation of those who seek Him,who seek your face—even Jacob.

GospelLuke 12:54-59

From the Gospel according to Luke

54He said to the multitudes also,“When you see a cloud rising from the west,immediately you say,‘A shower is coming,’and so it happens.55When a south wind blows,you say, ‘There will be a scorching heat,’ and it happens.56You hypocrites!You know how to interpret the appearance of the earth and the sky,but how is it that you don’t interpret this time?

57“Why don’t you judge for yourselves what is right?58For when you are going with your adversary before the magistrate,try diligently on the way to be released from him,lest perhaps he drag you to the judge,and the judge deliver you to the officer,and the officer throw you into prison.59I tell you, you will by no means get out of there until you have paid the very last penny.”

EpistleLectio

Léctio Epístolæ beáti Pauli Apóstoli ad Hebrǽos

Heb 7:23-27.

Fratres : Plures facti sunt sacerdótes, idcírco quod morte prohiberéntur permanére : Iesus autem, eo quod máneat in ætérnum, sempitérnum habet sacerdótium. Unde et salváre in perpétuum potest accedéntes per semetípsum ad Deum : semper vivens ad interpellándum pro nobis. Talis enim decébat, ut nobis esset póntifex, sanctus, ínnocens, impollútus, segregátus a peccatóribus, et excélsior cælis factus : qui non habet necessitátem cotídie, quemádmodum sacerdótes, prius pro suis delíctis hóstias offérre, deínde pro pópuli : hoc enim fecit semel, seípsum offeréndo, Jesus Christus, Dóminus noster.

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

Heb 7:23-27

Brethren: The priests were numerous, because they were prevented by death from continuing in office; but Jesus, because He continues forever, has an everlasting priesthood. Therefore He is able at all times to save those who come to God through Him, since He lives always to make intercession for them. For it was fitting that we should have such a high priest, holy, innocent, undefiled, set apart from sinners, and become higher than the heavens. He does not need to offer sacrifices daily - as the other priests did - first for His own sins, and then for the sins of the people; for this latter He did once for all in offering up Himself, Jesus Christ our Lord.

GradualGraduale

Ps 131:16-17

℣.Sacerdótes ejus índuam salutári, et sancti ejus exsultatióne exsultábunt.

℣.Illuc prodúcam cornu David; parávi lucérnam christo meo. Allelúia, allelúia.

Ps 109:4

℣.Jurávit Dóminus, et non pœnitébit eum: Tu es sacérdos in ætérnum secúndum órdinem Melchísedech. Allelúia.

Ps 131:16-17

Her priests I will clothe with salvation, and her faithful ones shall shout merrily for joy.

℣.In her will I make a horn to sprout for David; I will place a lamp for My anointed. Alleluia, alleluia.

Ps 109:4

℣.The Lord has sworn, and He will not repent: “You are a priest forever, according to the order of Melchisedec.” Alleluia.

GospelEvangelium

Lectio sancti Evangelii secundum Matthǽum

Matt 24:42-47.

In illo témpore: Dixit Jesus discípulis suis: Vigiláte ergo, quia nescítis qua hora Dóminus vester ventúrus sit. Illud autem scitóte, quóniam si sciret paterfamílias qua hora fur ventúrus esset, vigiláret útique, et non síneret pérfodi domum suam. Ideo et vos estóte paráti: quia qua nescítis hora Fílius hóminis ventúrus est. Quis, putas, est fidélis servus, et prudens, quem constítuit dóminus suus super famíliam suam ut det illis cibum in témpore? Beátus ille servus, quem cum vénerit dóminus ejus, invénerit sic faciéntem. Amen dico vobis, quóniam super ómnia bona sua constítuet eum.

Continuation ☩ of the Holy Gospel according to Matthew

Matt 24:42-47

At that time, Jesus said to His disciples, “Watch, for you do not know at what hour your Lord is to come. But of this be assured, that if the householder had known at what hour the thief was coming, he would certainly have watched, and not have let his house be broken into. Therefore you also must be ready, because at an hour that you do not expect, the Son of Man will come. Who, do you think, is the faithful and prudent servant whom his master has set over his household to give them their food in due time? Blessed is that servant whom his master, when he comes, shall find so doing. Amen I say to you, he will set him over all his goods.”

My faithfulness and My kindness shall be with him, and through My name shall his horn be exalted.

PrefacePrefatio

Communis

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. Per quem majestátem tuam laudant Angeli, adórant Dominatiónes, tremunt Potestátes. Cæli cælorúmque Virtútes ac beáta Séraphim sócia exsultatióne concélebrant. Cum quibus et nostras voces ut admítti jubeas, deprecámur, súpplici confessione dicéntes:

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:
