First ReadingGenesis 18:1-10a

From the Book of Genesis

1The Lord appeared to him by the oaks of Mamre,as he sat in the tent door in the heat of the day.2He lifted up his eyes and looked,and saw that three men stood near him.When he saw them, he ran to meet them from the tent door,and bowed himself to the earth,3and said, “My lord,if now I have found favor in your sight,please don’t go away from your servant.4Now let a little water be fetched,wash your feet, and rest yourselves under the tree.5I will get a piece of bread so you can refresh your heart.After that you may go your way,now that you have come to your servant.”

They said, “Very well, do as you have said.”

6Abraham hurried into the tent to Sarah,and said, “Quickly prepare three seahs of fine meal,knead it, and make cakes.”7Abraham ran to the herd,and fetched a tender and good calf,and gave it to the servant.He hurried to dress it.8He took butter, milk,and the calf which he had dressed,and set it before them.He stood by them under the tree, and they ate.

9They asked him, “Where is Sarah, your wife?”

He said, “There, in the tent.”

10He said, “I will certainly return to you at about this time next year;and behold, Sarah your wife will have a son.”

Sarah heard in the tent door, which was behind him.

Responsorial PsalmPsalm 15:2, 3-4, 5*

2He who walks blamelessly and does what is right,and speaks truth in his heart;

3he who doesn’t slander with his tongue,nor does evil to his friend,nor casts slurs against his fellow man;4in whose eyes a vile man is despised,but who honors those who fear the Lord;he who keeps an oath even when it hurts, and doesn’t change;

5he who doesn’t lend out his money for usury,nor take a bribe against the innocent.He who does these things shall never be shaken.

Second ReadingColossians 1:24-28

From the Letter of Paul to the Colossians

24Now I rejoice in my sufferings for your sake,and fill up on my part thatwhich is lacking of the afflictions of Christ in my flesh for his body’s sake,which is the assembly,25of which I was made a servant according to the stewardship of Godwhich was given me toward you to fulfill the word of God,26the mystery which has been hidden for ages and generations.But now it has been revealed to his saints,27to whom God was pleased to make known what are the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles,which is Christ in you,the hope of glory.28We proclaim him, admonishing every manand teaching every man in all wisdom,that we may present every man perfect in Christ Jesus;

GospelLuke 10:38-42

From the Gospel according to Luke

38As they went on their way,he entered into a certain village,and a certain woman named Martha received him into her house.39She had a sister called Mary,who also sat at Jesus’ feet and heard his word.40But Martha was distracted with much serving,and she came up to him,and said, “Lord, don’t you carethat my sister left me to serve alone?Ask her therefore to help me.”

41Jesus answered her,“Martha, Martha, you are anxiousand troubled about many things,42but one thing is needed.Mary has chosen the good part,which will not be taken away from her.”

EpistleLectio

Léctio Epístolæ beáti Pauli Apóstoli ad Romános

Rom 6:3-11

Fratres: Quicúmque baptizáti sumus in Christo Jesu, in morte ipsíus baptizáti sumus. Consepúlti enim sumus cum illo per baptísmum in mortem: ut, quómodo Christus surréxit a mórtuis per glóriam Patris, ita et nos in novitáte vitæ ambulémus. Si enim complantáti facti sumus similitúdini mortis ejus: simul et resurrectiónis érimus. Hoc sciéntes, quia vetus homo noster simul crucifíxus est: ut destruátur corpus peccáti, et ultra non serviámus peccáto. Qui enim mórtuus est, justificátus est a peccáto. Si autem mórtui sumus cum Christo: crédimus, quia simul étiam vivémus cum Christo: sciéntes, quod Christus resurgens ex mórtuis, jam non móritur, mors illi ultra non dominábitur. Quod enim mórtuus est peccáto, mórtuus est semel: quod autem vivit, vivit Deo. Ita et vos existimáte, vos mórtuos quidem esse peccáto, vivéntes autem Deo, in Christo Jesu, Dómino nostro.

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

Rom 6:3-11.

Brethren: All we who have been baptized into Christ Jesus have been baptized into His death. For we were buried with Him by means of Baptism into death, in order that, just as Christ has arisen from the dead through the glory of the Father, so we also may walk in newness of life. For if we have been united with Him in the likeness of His death, we shall be so in the likeness of His resurrection also. For we know that our old self has been crucified with Him, in order that the body of sin may be destroyed, that we may no longer be slaves to sin; for he who is dead is acquitted of sin. But if we have died with Christ, we believe that we shall also live together with Christ; for we know that Christ, having risen from the dead, dies now no more, death shall no longer have dominion over Him. For the death that He died, He died to sin once for all, but the life that He lives, He lives unto God. Thus do you consider yourselves also as dead to sin, but alive to God in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Sequéntia ☩ sancti Evangélii secúndum Marcum

Marc 8:1-9

In illo témpore: Cum turba multa esset cum Jesu, nec habérent, quod manducárent, convocátis discípulis, ait illis: Miséreor super turbam: quia ecce jam tríduo sústinent me, nec habent quod mandúcent: et si dimísero eos jejúnos in domum suam, defícient in via: quidam enim ex eis de longe venérunt. Et respondérunt ei discípuli sui: Unde illos quis póterit hic saturáre pánibus in solitúdine? Et interrogávit eos: Quot panes habétis? Qui dixérunt: Septem. Et præcépit turbæ discúmbere super terram. Et accípiens septem panes, grátias agens fregit, et dabat discípulis suis, ut appónerent, et apposuérunt turbæ. Et habébant piscículos paucos: et ipsos benedíxit, et jussit appóni. Et manducavérunt, et saturáti sunt, et sustulérunt quod superáverat de fragméntis, septem sportas. Erant autem qui manducáverant, quasi quátuor mília: et dimísit eos.

Continuation ☩ of the Holy Gospel according to Mark

Mark 8:1-9

At that time, when there was a great crowd with Jesus, and they had nothing to eat, He called His disciples together and said to them, I have compassion on the crowd, for behold, they have now been with Me three days, and have nothing to eat; and if I send them away to their homes fasting, they will faint on the way, for some of them have come from a distance. And His disciples answered Him, How will anyone be able to satisfy these with bread, here in a desert? And He asked them, How many loaves have you? And they said, Seven. And He bade the crowd recline on the ground. Then taking the seven loaves, He gave thanks, broke them and gave them to His disciples to distribute; and they set them before the crowd. And they had a few little fishes; and He blessed them, and ordered them to be distributed. And they ate and were satisfied; and they took up what was left of the fragments, seven baskets. Now those who had eaten were about four thousand. And He dismissed them.

PrefacePrefatio

de sanctissima Trinitate

Vere dignum et justum est, æquum et salutáre, nos tibi semper et ubíque grátias ágere: Dómine sancte, Pater omnípotens, ætérne Deus: Qui cum unigénito Fílio tuo et Spíritu Sancto unus es Deus, unus es Dóminus: non in uníus singularitáte persónæ, sed in uníus Trinitáte substántiæ. Quod enim de tua glória, revelánte te, crédimus, hoc de Fílio tuo, hoc de Spíritu Sancto sine differéntia discretiónis sentímus. Ut in confessióne veræ sempiternǽque Deitátis, et in persónis propríetas, et in esséntia únitas, et in majestáte adorétur æquálitas. Quam laudant Angeli atque Archángeli, Chérubim quoque ac Séraphim: qui non cessant clamáre cotídie, una voce dicéntes:

Holy Trinity

It is truly meet and just, right and for our salvation, that we should at all times, and in all places, give thanks unto Thee, O holy Lord, Father almighty, everlasting God; Who, together with Thine only-begotten Son, and the Holy Ghost, art one God, one Lord: not in the oneness of a single Person, but in the Trinity of one substance. For what we believe by Thy revelation of Thy glory, the same do we believe of Thy Son, the same of the Holy Ghost, without difference or separation. So that in confessing the true and everlasting Godhead, distinction in persons, unity in essence, and equality in majesty may be adored. Which the Angels and Archangels, the Cherubim also and Seraphim do praise: who cease not daily to cry out, with one voice saying:

Ps 26:6

Circuíbo et immolábo in tabernáculo ejus hóstiam jubilatiónis: cantábo et psalmum dicam Dómino.

Ps. 26:6

I will go round, and offer in His tent, sacrifices with shouts of gladness; I will sing and chant praise to the Lord.

Repléti sumus, Dómine, munéribus tuis: tríbue, quǽsumus; ut eórum et mundémur efféctu et muniámur auxílio.

We have been filled with Your gifts, O Lord; grant, we beseech You, that we may be cleansed and strengthened by their effect.
