First ReadingGenesis 23:1-4, 19; 24:1-8, 62-67

From the Book of Genesis

1Sarah lived one hundred twenty-seven years.This was the length of Sarah’s life.2Sarah died in Kiriath Arba (also called Hebron),in the land of Canaan.Abraham came to mourn for Sarah, and to weep for her.3Abraham rose up from before his deadand spoke to the children of Heth, saying,4“I am a stranger and a foreigner living with you.Give me a possession of a burying-place with you,that I may bury my dead out of my sight.” verses 5–18 are not read19After this, Abraham buried Sarah his wife in the cave of the field of Machpelah before Mamre (that is,Hebron), in the land of Canaan.

some verses are not read1Abraham was old, and well advanced in age.The Lord had blessed Abraham in all things.2Abraham said to his servant,the elder of his house,who ruled over all that he had,“Please put your hand under my thigh.3I will make you swear by the Lord,the God of heaven and the God of the earth,that you shall not take a wife for my son of the daughters of the Canaanites,among whom I live.4But you shall go to my country,and to my relatives,and take a wife for my son Isaac.”

5The servant said to him,“What if the woman isn’t willing to follow me to this land?Must I bring your son again to the land you came from?”

6Abraham said to him,“Beware that you don’t bring my son there again.7The Lord, the God of heaven—who took me from my father’s house,and from the land of my birth,who spoke to me, and who swore to me,saying, ‘I will give this land to your offspring—he will send his angel before you,and you shall take a wife for my son from there.8If the woman isn’t willing to follow you,then you shall be clear from this oath to me.Only you shall not bring my son there again.” verses 9–61 are not read62Isaac came from the way of Beer Lahai Roi,for he lived in the land of the South.63Isaac went out to meditate in the field at the evening.He lifted up his eyes and looked.Behold, there were camels coming.64Rebekah lifted up her eyes,and when she saw Isaac,she got off the camel.65She said to the servant,“Who is the man who is walking in the field to meet us?”

The servant said, “It is my master.”

She took her veil, and covered herself.66The servant told Isaac all the things that he had done.67Isaac brought her into his mother Sarah’s tent,and took Rebekah, and she became his wife.He loved her.So Isaac was comforted after his mother’s death.

Responsorial PsalmPsalm 106:1b-2, 3-4a, 4b-5

1Praise the Lord!Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good,for his loving kindness endures forever.2Who can utter the mighty acts of the Lord,or fully declare all his praise?

3Blessed are those who keep justice.Blessed is one who does what is right at all times.4Remember me, Lord, with the favor that you show to your people.

4Visit me with your salvation,5that I may see the prosperity of your chosen,that I may rejoice in the gladness of your nation,that I may glory with your inheritance.

GospelMatthew 9:9-13

From the Gospel according to Matthew

9As Jesus passed by from there,he saw a man called Matthew sitting at the tax collection office.He said to him, “Follow me.”He got up and followed him.10As he sat in the house,behold, many tax collectors and sinners cameand sat down with Jesus and his disciples.11When the Pharisees saw it,they said to his disciples,“Why does your teacher eat with tax collectors and sinners?”

12When Jesus heard it,he said to them, “Thosewho are healthy have no need for a physician,but those who are sick do.13But you go and learn what this means:‘I desire mercy, and not sacrifice,’for I came not to call the righteous,but sinners to repentance.”

EpistleLectio

Léctio Epístolæ beáti Pauli Apóstoli ad Hebrǽos

Hebr 7:23-27

Fratres: Plures facti sunt sacerdótes, idcírco quod morte prohiberéntur permanére: Jesus 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 cœlis factus: qui non habet necessitátem cotídie, quemádmodum sacerdótes, prius pro suis delíctis hóstias offérre, déinde pro pópuli: hoc enim fecit semel, seípsum offeréndo, Jesus Christus, Dóminus noster.

Lesson from the letter of St Paul the Apostle to the Jews

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.

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 forth for David; I will place a lamp for My anointed. Alleluia, alleluia.

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

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.’

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.

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:
