First ReadingHebrews 7:25—8:6

From the Letter to the Hebrews

25Therefore he is also able to save to the uttermost thosewho draw near to God through him,seeing that he lives forever to make intercession for them.

26For such a high priest was fitting for us:holy, guiltless, undefiled,separated from sinners,and made higher than the heavens;27who doesn’t need, like those high priests,to offer up sacrifices daily,first for his own sins,and then for the sins of the people.For he did this once for all, when he offered up himself.28For the law appoints men as high priests who have weakness,but the word of the oath,which came after the law,appoints a Son forever who has been perfected.

1Now in the things which we are saying,the main point is this:we have such a high priest,who sat down on the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in the heavens,2a servant of the sanctuary and of the true tabernaclewhich the Lord pitched, not man.3For every high priest is appointed to offer both gifts and sacrifices.Therefore it is necessarythat this high priest also have something to offer.4For if he were on earth,he would not be a priest at all,seeing there are priestswho offer the gifts according to the law,5who serve a copy and shadow of the heavenly things,even as Moses was warned by Godwhen he was about to make the tabernacle,for he said, “See,you shall make everything according to the patternthat was shown to you on the mountain.”6But now he has obtained a more excellent ministry,by as much as he is also the mediator of a better covenant,which on better promises has been given as law.

Responsorial PsalmPsalm 40:7-8a, 8b-9, 10, 17

7Sacrifice and offering you didn’t desire.You have opened my ears.You have not required burnt offering and sin offering.8Then I said, “Behold, I have come.

8It is written about me in the book in the scroll.9I delight to do your will, my God.Yes, your law is within my heart.”

10I have proclaimed glad news of righteousness in the great assembly.Behold, I will not seal my lips, Lord, you know.

17Let all those who seek you rejoice and be glad in you.Let such as love your salvation say continually, “Let the Lord be exalted!”

GospelMark 3:7-12

From the Gospel according to Mark

7Jesus withdrew to the sea with his disciples;and a great multitude followed him from Galilee, from Judea,8from Jerusalem, from Idumaea,beyond the Jordan,and those from around Tyre and Sidon.A great multitude,hearing what great things he did, came to him.9He spoke to his disciplesthat a little boat should stay near himbecause of the crowd,so that they wouldn’t press on him.10For he had healed many,so that as many as had diseases pressed on himthat they might touch him.11The unclean spirits,whenever they saw him,fell down before him and cried,“You are the Son of God!”12He sternly warned themthat they should not make him known.

Omnípotens sempitérne Deus, qui infírma mundi éligis, ut fórtia quæque confúndas: concéde propítius; ut, qui beátæ Agnétis Vírginis et Mártyris tuæ sollémnia cólimus, ejus apud te patrocínia sentiámus.

EpistleLectio

Léctio libri Sapiéntiæ

Eccli 51:1-8; 51:12

Confitébor tibi, Dómine, Rex, et collaudábo te Deum, Salvatórem meum. Confitébor nómini tuo: quóniam adjútor et protéctor factus es mihi, et liberásti corpus meum a perditióne, a láqueo línguæ iníquæ et a lábiis operántium mendácium, et in conspéctu astántium factus es mihi adjutor. Et liberasti me secúndum multitúdinem misericórdiæ nóminis tui a rugiéntibus, præparátis ad escam, de mánibus quæréntium ánimam meam, et de portis tribulatiónum, quæ circumdedérunt me: a pressúra flammæ, quæ circúmdedit me, et in médio ignis non sum æstuáta: de altitúdine ventris ínferi, et a lingua coinquináta, et a verbo mendácii, a rege iníquo, et a lingua injústa: laudábit usque ad mortem ánima mea Dóminum: quóniam éruis sustinéntes te, et líberas eos de mánibus géntium, Dómine, Deus noster.

Lesson from the book of Ecclesiasticus

Sir 51:1-8; 51:12

I will give You thanks, O Lord, O King; I will praise You, O God my Saviour! I will make known Your name; for You have preserved my body from destruction, from the scourge of a slanderous tongue, and from lips that went over to falsehood; and in the sight of those who stood by, You have been my helper. And You have delivered me, according to the multitude of the mercy of Your name, from those who did roar, prepared to devour; from the power of those who sought my life, and from the gates of afflictions which compassed me about; from the oppression of the flames which hemmed me in on every side, and in the midst of the fire I was not burnt; from the deep belly of the nether world, and from an unclean tongue, and from lying words, from an unjust king, and from dishonest tongues. My soul shall praise the Lord even to death; because You, O Lord, our God, save those who take refuge in You, and rescue them out of the hands of the nations.

GospelEvangelium

Sequéntia ☩ sancti Evangélii secúndum Matthǽum

Matt 25:1-13

In illo témpore: Dixit Jesus discípulis suis parábolam hanc: Símile erit regnum coelórum decem virgínibus: quæ, accipiéntes lámpades suas, exiérunt óbviam sponso et sponsæ. Quinque autem ex eis erant fátuæ, et quinque prudéntes: ¶ sed quinque fátuæ, accéptis lampádibus, non sumpsérunt óleum secum: prudéntes vero accepérunt óleum in vasis suis cum lampádibus. Moram autem faciénte sponso, dormitavérunt omnes et dormiérunt. Média autem nocte clamor factus est: Ecce, sponsus venit, exíte óbviam ei. Tunc surrexérunt omnes vírgines íllæ, et ornavérunt lámpades suas. Fátuæ autem sapiéntibus dixérunt: Date nobis de óleo vestro: quia lámpades nostræ exstinguúntur. Respondérunt prudéntes, dicéntes: Ne forte non suffíciat nobis et vobis, ite pótius ad vendéntes, et émite vobis. Dum autem irent émere, venit sponsus: et quæ parátæ erant, intravérunt cum eo ad núptias, et clausa est jánua. Novíssime vero véniunt et réliquæ vírgines, dicéntes: Dómine, Dómine, áperi nobis. At ille respóndens, ait: Amen, dico vobis, néscio vos. Vigiláte ítaque, quia nescítis diem neque horam.

Continuation ☩ of the Holy Gospel according to Matthew

Matt 25:1-13.

At that time Jesus spoke this parable to His disciples: “Then will the kingdom of heaven be like ten virgins who took their lamps and went forth to meet the bridegroom and the bride. Five of them were foolish and five wise. But the five foolish, when they took their lamps, took no oil with them, while the wise did take oil in their vessels with the lamps. Then as the bridegroom was long in coming, they all became drowsy and slept. And at midnight a cry arose, 'Behold, the bridegroom is coming, go forth to meet him!' Then all those virgins arose and trimmed their lamps. And the foolish said to the wise, 'Give us some of your oil, for our lamps are going out.' The wise answered, saying, 'Lest there may not be enough for us and for you, go rather to those who sell it, and buy some for yourselves.' Now while they were gone to buy it, the bridegroom came; and those who were ready went in with him to the marriage feast, and the door was shut. Finally there came also the other virgins, who said, 'Sir, sir, open the door for us!' But he answered and said, 'Amen I say to you, I do not know you.' Watch therefore, for you know neither the day nor the hour.”

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:
