First ReadingJeremiah 15:10, 16-21

From the Book of Jeremiah

10Woe is me, my mother, that you have borne me, a man of strife,and a man of contention to the whole earth!I have not lent, neither have men lent to me;yet every one of them curses me. verses 11–15 are not read16Your words were found,and I ate them.Your words were to me a joy and the rejoicing of my heart,for I am called by your name, Lord, God of Armies.17I didn’t sit in the assembly of those who make merry and rejoice.I sat alone because of your hand,for you have filled me with indignation.18Why is my pain perpetual,and my wound incurable,which refuses to be healed?Will you indeed be to me as a deceitful brook,like waters that fail?

19Therefore the Lord says,

“If you return, then I will bring you again,that you may stand before me;and if you take out the precious from the vile,you will be as my mouth.They will return to you,but you will not return to them.20I will make you to this people a fortified bronze wall.They will fight against you,but they will not prevail against you;for I am with you to save youand to deliver you,” says the Lord.21“I will deliver you out of the hand of the wicked,and I will redeem you out of the hand of the terrible.”

Responsorial PsalmPsalm 59:2-3, 4, 10-11, 17, 18

2Deliver me from my enemies, my God.Set me on high from those who rise up against me.3Deliver me from the workers of iniquity.Save me from the bloodthirsty men.

4For, behold, they lie in wait for my soul.The mighty gather themselves together against me,not for my disobedience, nor for my sin, Lord.

10Oh, my Strength, I watch for you,for God is my high tower.11My God will go before me with his loving kindness.God will let me look at my enemies in triumph.

17But I will sing of your strength.Yes, I will sing aloud of your loving kindness in the morning.For you have been my high tower,a refuge in the day of my distress.

18To you, my strength, I will sing praises.For God is my high tower, the God of my mercy.

GospelMatthew 13:44-46

From the Gospel according to Matthew

44“Again, the Kingdom of Heaven is like treasure hidden in the field,which a man found and hid.In his joy, he goes and sells allthat he has and buys that field.

45“Again, the Kingdom of Heaven is like a manwho is a merchant seeking fine pearls,46who having found one pearl of great price,he went and sold all that he had and bought it.

EpistleLectio

Léctio Epístolæ beáti Pauli Apóstoli ad Timótheum

2 Tim 2:1-7

Caríssime: Confortáre in grátia, quæ est in Christo Jesu: et quæ audísti a me per multos testes, hæc comménda fidélibus homínibus, qui idónei erunt et alios docére. Labóra sicut bonus miles Christi Jesu. Nemo mílitans Deo ímplicat se negótiis sǽculáribus: ut ei pláceat, cui se probávit. Nam et qui certat in agóne, non coronátur, nisi legítime certáverit. Laborántem agrícolam opórtet primum de frúctibus percípere. Intéllege quæ dico: dabit enim tibi Dóminus in ómnibus intelléctum.

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

2 Tim. 2:1-7

Dearly beloved: Be strengthened in the grace which is in Christ Jesus; and the things that you have heard from me through many witnesses, commend to trustworthy men who shall be competent in turn to teach others. Conduct yourself in work as a good soldier of Christ Jesus. No one serving as God's soldier entangles himself in worldly affairs, that he may please him whose approval he has secured. And again, one who enters a contest is not crowned unless he has competed according to the rules. The farmer who toils must be the first to partake of the fruits. Take in what I tell you, for the Lord will give you understanding in all things.

GradualGraduale

Ps 118:52-53

Memor fui judiciórum tuórum a sǽculo, Dómine, et consolátus sum: deféctio ténuit me pro peccatóribus derelinquéntibus legem tuam.

Ps 39:11

Justítiam tuam non abscóndi in corde meo: veritátem tuam et salutáre tuum dixi. Allelúja, allelúja.

Eccles. 49:3-4

Ipse est diréctus divínitus in pæniténtiam gentis, et tulit abominatiónes impietátis: et gubernávit ad Dóminum cor ipsíus: et in diébus peccatórum corroborávit pietátem. Allelúja.

Ps 118:52-53

I remember your ordinances of old, O Lord, and I am comforted. Indignation seizes me because of the wicked who forsake Your law.

Ps 39:11

℣.Your justice I kept not hid within my heart; Your faithfulness and Your salvation I have spoken of. Alleluia, alleluia.

Ecclus. 49:3-4

He was directed by God to the repentance of the nation, and he took away the abominations of wickedness. He turned to God with his whole heart, and though times were evil, he practiced virtue.

GospelEvangelium

Sequéntia ☩ sancti Evangélii secúndum Lucam

Luc 10:1-9

In illo témpore: Designávit Dóminus et álios septuagínta duos: et misit illos binos ante fáciem suam in omnem civitátem et locum, quo erat ipse ventúrus. ¶ Et dicebat illis: Messis quidem multa, operárii autem pauci. Rogáte ergo Dóminum messis, ut mittat operários in messem suam. Ite: ecce, ego mitto vos sicut agnos inter lupos. Nolíte portáre sácculum neque peram neque calceaménta; et néminem per viam salutavéritis. In quamcúmque domum intravéritis, primum dícite: Pax huic dómui: et si ibi fúerit fílius pacis, requiéscet super illum pax vestra: sin autem, ad vos revertétur. In eádem autem domo manéte, edéntes et bibéntes quæ apud illos sunt: dignus est enim operárius mercéde sua. Nolíte transíre de domo in domum. Et in quamcúmque civitátem intravéritis, et suscéperint vos, manducáte quæ apponúntur vobis: et curáte infírmos, qui in illa sunt, et dícite illis: Appropinquávit in vos regnum Dei.

Continuation ☩ of the Holy Gospel according to Luke

Luke 10:1-9

At that time, the Lord appointed seventy-two others, and sent them forth two by two before Him into every town and place where He Himself was about to come. And He said to them, The harvest indeed is great, but the laborers are few. Pray therefore the Lord of the harvest to send forth laborers into His harvest. Go. Behold, I send you forth as lambs in the midst of wolves. Carry neither purse, nor wallet, nor sandals, and greet no one on the way. Whatever house you enter, first say, ‘Peace to this house!’ And if a son of peace be there, your peace will rest upon him; but if not, it will return to you. And remain in the same house, eating and drinking what they have; for the laborer deserves his wages. Do not go from house to house. And whatever town you enter, and they receive you, eat what is set before you, and cure the sick who are there, and say to them, ‘The kingdom of God is at hand for you.’

Prov 3:9; 3:27

Hónora Dóminum de tua substántia, et de primítiis ómnium frugum tuárum da ei. Noli prohibére benefácere eum, qui potest: si vales, et ipse bénefac.

Pr 3:9, 27

Honor the Lord with your wealth, and give Him the first fruits of all your produce. Do not withhold him from doing good who is able; if you are able, do good yourself also.

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:
