First ReadingJoshua 24:1-2a, 15-17, 18b

From the Book of Joshua

1Joshua gathered all the tribes of Israel to Shechem,and called for the elders of Israel,for their heads, for their judges,and for their officers;and they presented themselves before God.2Joshua said to all the people,“The Lord, the God of Israel,says, ‘Your fathers lived of old time beyond the River,even Terah, the father of Abraham,and the father of Nahor.They served other gods. verses 3–14 are not read15If it seems evil to you to serve the Lord,choose today whom you will serve;whether the gods which your fathers servedthat were beyond the River,or the gods of the Amorites,in whose land you dwell;but as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.”

16The people answered,“Far be it from us that we should forsake the Lord,to serve other gods;17for it is the Lord our God who brought usand our fathers up out of the land of Egypt,from the house of bondage,and who did those great signs in our sight,and preserved us in all the way in which we went,and among all the peoples through the middle of whom we passed.18The Lord drove out from before us all the peoples,even the Amorites who lived in the land.Therefore we also will serve the Lord;for he is our God.”

Responsorial PsalmPsalm 34:2-3, 16-17, 18-19, 20-21

2I will bless the Lord at all times.His praise will always be in my mouth.3My soul shall boast in the Lord.The humble shall hear of it and be glad.

16The Lord’s eyes are toward the righteous.His ears listen to their cry.17The Lord’s face is against those who do evil,to cut off their memory from the earth.

18The righteous cry, and the Lord hears,and delivers them out of all their troubles.19The Lord is near to those who have a broken heart,and saves those who have a crushed spirit.

20Many are the afflictions of the righteous,but the Lord delivers him out of them all.21He protects all of his bones.Not one of them is broken.

Second ReadingEphesians 5:21-32

From the Letter of Paul to the Ephesians

or Ephesians 5:2a, 25-32

21subjecting yourselves to one another in the fear of Christ.

22Wives, be subject to your own husbands, as to the Lord.23For the husband is the head of the wife,as Christ also is the head of the assembly,being himself the savior of the body.24But as the assembly is subject to Christ,so let the wives also be to their own husbands in everything.

25Husbands, love your wives,even as Christ also loved the assemblyand gave himself up for her,26that he might sanctify her,having cleansed her by the washing of water with the word,27that he might present the assembly to himself gloriously,not having spot or wrinkle or any such thing,but that she should be holy and without defect.28Even so husbands also ought to love their own wives as their own bodies.He who loves his own wife loves himself.29For no man ever hated his own flesh,but nourishes and cherishes it,even as the Lord also does the assembly,30because we are members of his body,of his flesh and bones.31“For this cause a man will leave his fatherand mother and will be joined to his wife.Then the two will become one flesh.”32This mystery is great,but I speak concerning Christ and the assembly.

GospelJohn 6:60-69

From the Gospel according to John

60Therefore many of his disciples,when they heard this,said, “This is a hard saying!Who can listen to it?”

61But Jesus knowing in himselfthat his disciples murmured at this,said to them, “Does this cause you to stumble?62Then what if you would see the Son of Man ascending to where he was before?63It is the spirit who gives life.The flesh profits nothing.The words that I speak to you are spirit, and are life.64But there are some of you who don’t believe.”For Jesus knew from the beginningwho they were who didn’t believe,and who it was who would betray him.65He said, “For this cause I have said to youthat no one can come to me,unless it is given to him by my Father.”

66At this, many of his disciples went backand walked no more with him.67Jesus said therefore to the twelve,“You don’t also want to go away, do you?”

68Simon Peter answered him, “Lord, to whom would we go?You have the words of eternal life.69We have come to believe and know that you are the Christ,the Son of the living God.”

EpistleLectio

Léctio Epístolæ beáti Pauli Apóstoli ad Gálatas.

Gal 5:25-26; 6:1-10

Fratres: Si spíritu vívimus, spíritu et ambulémus. Non efficiámur inanis glóriæ cúpidi, ínvicem provocántes, ínvicem invidéntes. Fratres, et si præoccupátus fúerit homo in áliquo delícto, vos, qui spirituáles estis, hujúsmodi instrúite in spíritu lenitátis, consíderans teípsum, ne et tu tentéris. Alter alteríus ónera portáte, et sic adimplébitis legem Christi. Nam si quis exístimat se áliquid esse, cum nihil sit, ipse se sedúcit. Opus autem suum probet unusquísque, et sic in semetípso tantum glóriam habébit, et non in áltero. Unusquísque enim onus suum portábit. Commúnicet autem is, qui catechizátur verbo, ei, qui se catechízat, in ómnibus bonis. Nolíte erráre: Deus non irridétur. Quæ enim semináverit homo, hæc et metet. Quóniam qui séminat in carne sua, de carne et metet corruptiónem: qui autem séminat in spíritu, de spíritu metet vitam ætérnam. Bonum autem faciéntes, non deficiámus: témpore enim suo metémus, non deficiéntes. Ergo, dum tempus habémus, operémur bonum ad omnes, maxime autem ad domésticos fídei.

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

Gal 5:25-26; 6:1-10

Brethren: If we live by the Spirit, by the Spirit let us also walk. Let us not become desirous of vainglory, provoking one another, envying one another. Brethren, even if a person is caught doing something wrong, you who are spiritual instruct such a one in a spirit of meekness, considering yourself, lest you also be tempted. Bear one another’s burdens, and so you will fulfill the law of Christ. For if anyone thinks himself to be something, whereas he is nothing, he deceives himself. But let everyone test his own work, and so he will have glory in himself only, and not in comparison with another. For each one will bear his own burden. And let him who is instructed in the word share all good things with his teacher. Be not deceived, God is not mocked. For what a man sows in the flesh, from the flesh also will reap corruption. But he who sows in the spirit, from the spirit will reap life everlasting. And in doing good let us not grow tired; for in due time we shall reap if we do not relax. Therefore, while we have time, let us do good to all men, but especially to those who are of the household of faith.

GospelEvangelium

Sequéntia ☩ sancti Evangélii secúndum Lucam

Luc 7:11-16

In illo témpore: Ibat Jesus in civitátem, quæ vocátur Naim: et ibant cum eo discípuli ejus et turba copiósa. Cum autem appropinquáret portæ civitátis, ecce, defúnctus efferebátur fílius únicus matris suæ: et hæc vídua erat, et turba civitátis multa cum illa. Quam cum vidísset Dóminus, misericórdia motus super eam, dixit illi: Noli flere. Et accéssit et tétigit lóculum. - Hi autem, qui portábant, stetérunt - Et ait: Adoléscens, tibi dico, surge. Et resédit, qui erat mórtuus, et cœpit loqui. Et dedit illum matri suæ. Accépit autem omnes timor: et magnificábant Deum, dicéntes: Quia Prophéta magnus surréxit in nobis: et quia Deus visitávit plebem suam.

Continuation of the Holy Gospel according to Luke

Luke 7:11-16

At that time, Jesus went into a city called Naim; and His disciples and a large crowd went with Him. And as He drew near the gate of the town, behold, a dead man was being carried out, the only son of his mother, and she was a widow; and a large gathering from the town was with her. And the Lord, seeing her, had compassion on her, and said to her, Do not weep. And He went up and touched the stretcher; and the bearers stood still. And He said, Young man, I say to you, arise. And he who was dead, sat up, and began to speak. And He gave him to his mother. But fear seized upon all, and they began to glorify God, saying, A great prophet has risen among us, and God has visited His people.

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:
