First ReadingGenesis 41:55-57; 42:5-7a, 17-24a

From the Book of Genesis

55When all the land of Egypt was famished,the people cried to Pharaoh for bread,and Pharaoh said to all the Egyptians, “Go to Joseph.What he says to you, do.”56The famine was over all the surface of the earth.Joseph opened all the store houses,and sold to the Egyptians.The famine was severe in the land of Egypt.57All countries came into Egypt,to Joseph, to buy grain,because the famine was severe in all the earth. some verses are not read5The sons of Israel came to buy among those who came,for the famine was in the land of Canaan.6Joseph was the governor over the land.It was he who sold to all the people of the land.Joseph’s brothers came,and bowed themselves down to him with their faces to the earth.7Joseph saw his brothers,and he recognized them,but acted like a stranger to them,and spoke roughly with them.He said to them, “Where did you come from?”

They said, “From the land of Canaan, to buy food.” verses 8–16 are not read17He put them all together into custody for three days.

18Joseph said to them the third day,“Do this, and live, for I fear God.19If you are honest men,then let one of your brothers be bound in your prison;but you go, carry grain for the famine of your houses.20Bring your youngest brother to me;so will your words be verified, and you won’t die.”

They did so.21They said to one another,“We are certainly guilty concerning our brother,in that we saw the distress of his soul,when he begged us,and we wouldn’t listen.Therefore this distress has come upon us.”22Reuben answered them,saying, “Didn’t I tell you,saying, ‘Don’t sin against the child,’and you wouldn’t listen?Therefore also, behold, his blood is required.”23They didn’t know that Joseph understood them;for there was an interpreter between them.24He turned himself away from them, and wept.Then he returned to them,and spoke to them,and took Simeon from among them,and bound him before their eyes.

Responsorial PsalmPsalm 33:2-3, 10-11, 18-19

2Give thanks to the Lord with the lyre.Sing praises to him with the harp of ten strings.3Sing to him a new song.Play skillfully with a shout of joy!

10The Lord brings the counsel of the nations to nothing.He makes the thoughts of the peoples to be of no effect.11The counsel of the Lord stands fast forever,the thoughts of his heart to all generations.

18Behold, the Lord’s eye is on those who fear him,on those who hope in his loving kindness,19to deliver their soul from death,to keep them alive in famine.

GospelMatthew 10:1-7

From the Gospel according to Matthew

1He called to himself his twelve disciples,and gave them authority over unclean spirits,to cast them out,and to heal every disease and every sickness.2Now the names of the twelve apostles are these.The first, Simon, who is called Peter;Andrew, his brother;James the son of Zebedee;John, his brother;3Philip; Bartholomew;Thomas; Matthew the tax collector;James the son of Alphaeus;Lebbaeus, who was also called Thaddaeus;4Simon the Zealot;and Judas Iscariot, who also betrayed him.

5Jesus sent these twelve out and commanded them,saying, “Don’t go among the Gentiles,and don’t enter into any city of the Samaritans.6Rather, go to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.7As you go, preach,saying, ‘The Kingdom of Heaven is at hand!’

EpistleLectio

Léctio Epístolæ beáti Pauli Apóstoli ad Romános

Rom 8:18-23

Fratres: Exístimo, quod non sunt condígnæ passiónes hujus témporis ad futúram glóriam, quæ revelábitur in nobis. Nam exspectátio creatúræ revelatiónem filiórum Dei exspéctat. Vanitáti enim creatúra subjécta est, non volens, sed propter eum, qui subjécit eam in spe: quia et ipsa creatúra liberábitur a servitúte corruptiónis, in libertátem glóriæ filiórum Dei. Scimus enim, quod omnis creatúra ingemíscit et párturit usque adhuc. Non solum autem illa, sed et nos ipsi primítias spíritus habéntes: et ipsi intra nos gémimus, adoptiónem filiórum Dei exspectántes, redemptiónem córporis nostri: in Christo Jesu, Dómino nostro.

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

Rom 8:18-23

Brethren: I reckon that the sufferings of the present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory to come that will be revealed in us. For the eager longing of creation awaits the revelation of the sons of God. For creation was made subject to vanity - not by its own will but by reason of Him Who made it subject - in hope, because creation itself also will be delivered from its slavery to corruption into the freedom of the glory of the sons of God. For we know that all creation groans and travails in pain until now. And not only it, but we ourselves also who have the first-fruits of the Spirit - we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for the adoption as sons of God, the redemption of our body, in Christ Jesus our Lord.

GospelEvangelium

Sequéntia ☩ sancti Evangélii secúndum Lucam

Luc 5:1-11

In illo témpore: Cum turbæ irrúerent in Jesum, ut audírent verbum Dei, et ipse stabat secus stagnum Genésareth. Et vidit duas naves stantes secus stagnum: piscatóres autem descénderant et lavábant rétia. Ascéndens autem in unam navim, quæ erat Simónis, rogávit eum a terra redúcere pusíllum. Et sedens docébat de navícula turbas. Ut cessávit autem loqui, dixit ad Simónem: Duc in altum, et laxáte rétia vestra in captúram. Et respóndens Simon, dixit illi: Præcéptor, per totam noctem laborántes, nihil cépimus: in verbo autem tuo laxábo rete. Et cum hoc fecíssent, conclusérunt píscium multitúdinem copiósam: rumpebátur autem rete eórum. Et annuérunt sóciis, qui erant in ália navi, ut venírent et adjuvárent eos. Et venérunt, et implevérunt ambas navículas, ita ut pæne mergeréntur. Quod cum vidéret Simon Petrus, prócidit ad génua Jesu, dicens: Exi a me, quia homo peccátor sum, Dómine. Stupor enim circumdéderat eum et omnes, qui cum illo erant, in captúra píscium, quam céperant: simíliter autem Jacóbum et Joánnem, fílios Zebedǽi, qui erant sócii Simónis. Et ait ad Simónem Jesus: Noli timére: ex hoc jam hómines eris cápiens. Et subdúctis ad terram návibus, relictis ómnibus, secuti sunt eum.

Continuation ☩ of the Holy Gospel according to Luke

Luke 5:1-11

At that time, while the crowds were pressing upon Jesus to hear the word of God, He was standing by Lake Genesareth. And He saw two boats moored by the lake, but the fishermen had left them and were washing their nets. And getting into one of the boats, the one that was Simon’s, He asked him to put out a little from the land. And sitting down, He began to teach the crowds from the boat. But when He had ceased speaking, He said to Simon, Put out into the deep, and lower your nets for a catch. And Simon answered and said to Him, Master, the whole night through we have toiled and have taken nothing; but at Your word I will lower the net. And when they had done so, they enclosed a great number of fishes, but their net was breaking. And they beckoned to their comrades in the other boat to come and help them. And they came and filled both the boats, so that they began to sink. But when Simon Peter saw this, he fell down at Jesus’ knees, saying, Depart from me, for I am a sinful man, O Lord. For he and all who were with him were amazed at the catch of fish they had made; and so were also James and John, the sons of Zebedee, who were partners with Simon. And Jesus said to Simon, Do not be afraid; henceforth you shall catch men. And when they had brought their boats to land, they left all and followed Him.

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:
