Optional memorial: Saint Casimir

First ReadingSirach 35:1-12

From the Book of Sirach

1He who keeps the law multiplies offerings.He who heeds the commandments sacrifices a peace offering.2He who returns a kindness offers fine flour.He who gives alms sacrifices a thank offering.3To depart from wickedness pleases the Lord.To depart from unrighteousness is an atoning sacrifice.4See that you don’t appear in the presence of the Lord empty.5For all these things are done because of the commandment.6The offering of the righteous enriches the altar.The sweet fragrance of it is before the Most High.7The sacrifice of a righteous man is acceptable.It won’t be forgotten.8Glorify the Lord with generosity.Don’t reduce the first fruits of your hands.9In every gift show a cheerful countenance,And dedicate your tithe with gladness.10Give to the Most High according as he has given.As your hand has found, give generously.11For the Lord repays,and he will repay you sevenfold.12Don’t plan to bribe him with gifts, for he will not receive them.Don’t set your mind on an unrighteous sacrifice,For the Lord is the judge,and with him is no respect of persons.

Responsorial PsalmPsalm 50:5-6, 7-8, 14, 23

5“Gather my saints together to me,those who have made a covenant with me by sacrifice.”6The heavens shall declare his righteousness,for God himself is judge.

7“Hear, my people, and I will speak.Israel, I will testify against you.I am God, your God.8I don’t rebuke you for your sacrifices.Your burnt offerings are continually before me.

14Offer to God the sacrifice of thanksgiving.Pay your vows to the Most High.

23Whoever offers the sacrifice of thanksgiving glorifies me,and prepares his way so that I will show God’s salvation to him.”

GospelMark 10:28-31

From the Gospel according to Mark

28Peter began to tell him,“Behold, we have left all and have followed you.”

29Jesus said, “Most certainly I tell you,there is no one who has left house,or brothers, or sisters,or father, or mother,or wife, or children,or land, for my sake,and for the sake of the Good News,30but he will receive one hundred times more now in this time:houses, brothers, sisters,mothers, children,and land, with persecutions;and in the age to come eternal life.31But many who are first will be last, and the last first.”

EpistleLectio

Léctio libri Sapiéntiæ

Eccli 31:8-11

Beátus vir, qui invéntus est sine mácula, et qui post aurum non ábiit, nec sperávit in pecúnia et thesáuris. Quis est hic, et laudábimus eum? fecit enim mirabília in vita sua. Qui probátus est in illo, et perféctus est, erit illi glória ætérna: qui potuit tránsgredi, et non est transgréssus: fácere mala, et non fecit: ídeo stabilíta sunt bona illíus in Dómino, et eleemósynas illíus enarrábit omnis ecclésia sanctórum.

Lesson from the book of Ecclesiasticus

Sir 31:8-11

Happy the man found without fault, who turns not aside after gain, nor puts his trust in money nor in treasures! Who is he, that we may praise him? For he has done wonders in his life. He has been tested by gold and come off safe, and this remains his glory forever; he could have sinned but did not, could have done evil but would not, so that his possessions are secure in the Lord, and the assembly of the Saints shall recount his alms.

GospelEvangelium

Sequéntia ☩ sancti Evangélii secúndum Lucam

Luc 12:35-40

In illo témpore: Dixit Jesus discípulis suis: Sint lumbi vestri præcíncti, et lucernæ ardéntes in mánibus vestris, et vos símiles homínibus exspectántibus dóminum suum, quando revertátur a núptiis: ut, cum vénerit et pulsáverit, conféstim apériant ei. ¶ Beáti servi illi, quos, cum vénerit dóminus, invénerit vigilántes: amen, dico vobis, quod præcínget se, et fáciet illos discúmbere, et tránsiens ministrábit illis. Et si vénerit in secúnda vigília, et si in tértia vigília vénerit, et ita invénerit, beáti sunt servi illi. Hoc autem scitóte, quóniam, si sciret paterfamílias, qua hora fur veníret, vigiláret útique, et non síneret pérfodi domum suam. Et vos estóte paráti, quia, qua hora non putátis, Fílius hóminis véniet.

Continuation ☩ of the Holy Gospel according to Luke

Luke 12:35-40

At that time, Jesus said to His disciples, Let your loins be girt about and your lamps burning, and you yourselves like men waiting for their master’s return from the wedding; so that when he comes and knocks, they may straight-way open to him. Blessed are those servants whom the master, on his return, shall find watching. Amen I say to you, he will gird himself, and will make them recline at table, and will come and serve them. And if he comes in the second watch, and if in the third, and finds them so, blessed are those servants! But of this be assured, that if the householder had known at what hour the thief was coming, he would certainly have watched, and not have let his house be broken into. You also must be ready, because at an hour that you do not expect, the Son of Man is coming.

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. Per quem majestátem tuam laudant Angeli, adórant Dominatiónes, tremunt Potestátes. Cæli cælorúmque Virtútes ac beáta Séraphim sócia exsultatióne concélebrant.

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:
