First Reading2 Corinthians 4:7-15

From the Second Letter of Paul to the Corinthians

7But we have this treasure in clay vessels,that the exceeding greatness of the power may be of Godand not from ourselves.8We are pressed on every side, yet not crushed;perplexed, yet not to despair;9pursued, yet not forsaken;struck down, yet not destroyed;10always carrying in the body the putting to death of the Lord Jesus,that the life of Jesus may also be revealed in our body.11For we who live are always delivered to death for Jesus’ sake,that the life also of Jesus may be revealed in our mortal flesh.12So then death works in us, but life in you.

13But having the same spirit of faith,according to that which is written,“I believed, and therefore I spoke.”We also believe, and therefore we also speak,14knowing that hewho raised the Lord Jesus will raise us also through Jesus,and will present us with you.15For all things are for your sakes,that the grace, being multiplied through the many,may cause the thanksgiving to abound to the glory of God.

Responsorial PsalmPsalm 126:1bc-2ab, 2cd-3, 4-5, 6

1When the Lord brought back those who returned to Zion,we were like those who dream.2Then our mouth was filled with laughter,and our tongue with singing.

2Then they said among the nations,“The Lord has done great things for them.”3The Lord has done great things for us,and we are glad.

4Restore our fortunes again, Lord,like the streams in the Negev.5Those who sow in tears will reap in joy.

6He who goes out weeping, carrying seed for sowing,will certainly come again with joy, carrying his sheaves.

GospelMatthew 20:20-28

From the Gospel according to Matthew

20Then the mother of the sons of Zebedee came to him with her sons,kneeling and asking a certain thing of him.21He said to her, “What do you want?”

She said to him, “Command that these,my two sons, may sit,one on your right handand one on your left hand, in your Kingdom.”

22But Jesus answered, “You don’t know what you are asking.Are you able to drink the cup that I am about to drink,and be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with?”

They said to him, “We are able.”

23He said to them, “You will indeed drink my cup,and be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with;but to sit on my right handand on my left hand is not mine to give,but it is for whom it has been prepared by my Father.”

24When the ten heard it,they were indignant with the two brothers.

25But Jesus summoned them,and said, “You knowthat the rulers of the nations lord it over them,and their great ones exercise authority over them.26It shall not be so among you;but whoever desires to become great among you shall be your servant.27Whoever desires to be first among you shall be your bondservant,28even as the Son of Man came not to be served,but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.”

EpistleLectio

Léctio Epístolæ beáti Pauli Apóstoli ad Corínthios

1 Cor 4:9-15

Fratres: Puto, quod Deus nos Apóstolos novíssimos osténdit, tamquam morti destinátos: quia spectáculum facti sumus mundo et Angelis et homínibus. Nos stulti propter Christum, vos autem prudéntes in Christo: nos infírmi, vos autem fortes: vos nóbiles, nos autem ignóbiles. Usque in hanc horam et esurímus, et sitímus, et nudi sumus, et cólaphis cædimur, et instábiles sumus, et laborámus operántes mánibus nostris: maledícimur, et benedícimus: persecutiónem pátimur, et sustinémus: blasphemámur, et obsecrámus: tamquam purgaménta hujus mundi facti sumus, ómnium peripséma usque adhuc. Non ut confúndam vos, hæc scribo, sed ut fílios meos caríssimos móneo. Nam si decem mília pædagogórum habeátis in Christo: sed non multos patres. Nam in Christo Jesu per Evangélium ego vos génui.

Lesson from the first letter of St. Paul the Apostle to the Corinthians

1 Cor. 4:9-15

Brethren: I think God has set forth us the Apostles last of all, as men doomed to death, seeing that we have been made a spectacle to the world, and to angels, and to men. We are fools for Christ, but you are wise in Christ! We are weak, but you are strong! You are honored, but we are without honor! To this very hour we hunger and thirst, and we are naked and buffeted, and have no fixed abode. And we toil, working with our own hands. We are reviled and we bless, we are persecuted and we bear with it, we are maligned and we entreat, we have become as the refuse of this world, the offscouring of all, even until now! I write these things not to put you to shame, but to admonish you as my dearest children. For although you have ten thousand tutors in Christ, yet you have not many fathers. For in Christ Jesus, through the gospel, did I beget you.

Ps 44:17; 44:18

Constítues eos príncipes super omnem terram: mémores erunt nóminis tui, Dómine.

Ps 44:17-18

You shall make them princes through all the land; they shall remember Your name, O Lord.

℣.The place of your fathers your sons shall have; therefore shall nations praise You. Alleluia, alleluia.

℣.I have chosen you out of the world, that you should go and bear fruit, and that your fruit should remain. Alleluia.

GospelEvangelium

Sequéntia ☩ sancti Evangélii secúndum Matthǽum

Matt 20:20-23

In illo témpore: Accessit ad Jesum mater filiórum Zebedæi cum fíliis suis, adórans et petens áliquid ab eo. Qui dixit ei: Quid vis? Ait illi: Dic, ut sédeant hi duo fílii mei, unus ad déxteram tuam et unus ad sinístram in regno tuo. Respóndens autem Jesus, dixit: Néscitis, quid petátis. Potéstis bíbere cálicem, quem ego bibitúrus sum? Dicunt ei: Póssumus. Ait illis: Cálicem quidem meum bibétis: sedére autem ad déxteram meam vel sinístram, non est meum dare vobis, sed quibus parátum est a Patre meo.

Continuation ☩ of the Holy Gospel according to Matthew

Matt 20:20-23

In that time: came to him the mother of the sons of Zebedee with her sons, adoring and asking something of him. Who said to her: What wilt thou? She saith to him: Say that these my two sons may sit, the one on thy right hand, and the other on thy left, in thy kingdom. And Jesus answering, said: You know not what you ask. Can you drink the chalice that I shall drink? They say to him: We can. He saith to them: My chalice indeed you shall drink; but to sit on my right or left hand, is not mine to give to you, but to them for whom it is prepared by my Father.

PrefacePrefatio

de Apostolis

Vere dignum et justum est, æquum et salutáre: Te, Dómine, supplíciter exoráre, ut gregem tuum, Pastor ætérne, non déseras: sed per beátos Apóstolos tuos contínua protectióne custódias. Ut iísdem rectóribus gubernétur, quos óperis tui vicários eídem contulísti præésse pastóres. Et ídeo cum Angelis et Archángelis, cum Thronis et Dominatiónibus cumque omni milítia cœléstis exércitus hymnum glóriæ tuæ cánimus, sine fine dicéntes:

of Apostles

It is truly meet and just, right and for our salvation, to entreat Thee humbly, O Lord, that Thou wouldst not desert Thy flock, O everlasting Shepherd, but, through Thy blessed Apostles, wouldst keep it under Thy constant protection; that it may be governed by those same rulers, whom as vicars of Thy work, Thou didst set over it to be its pastors. 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:
