First ReadingActs 13:26-33

From the Acts of the Apostles

26“Brothers, children of the stock of Abraham,and those among you who fear God,the word of this salvation is sent out to you.27For those who dwell in Jerusalem,and their rulers, because they didn’t know him,nor the voices of the prophetswhich are read every Sabbath,fulfilled them by condemning him.28Though they found no cause for death,they still asked Pilate to have him killed.29When they had fulfilled all thingsthat were written about him,they took him down from the tree and laid him in a tomb.30But God raised him from the dead,31and he was seen for many days by thosewho came up with him from Galilee to Jerusalem,who are his witnesses to the people.32We bring you good news of the promise made to the fathers,33that God has fulfilled this to us,their children, in that he raised up Jesus.As it is also written in the second psalm,

‘You are my Son.Today I have become your father.’

Responsorial PsalmPsalm 2:6-7, 8-9, 10-11ab

6“Yet I have set my King on my holy hill of Zion.”7I will tell of the decree:The Lord said to me, “You are my son.Today I have become your father.

8Ask of me, and I will give the nations for your inheritance,the uttermost parts of the earth for your possession.9You shall break them with a rod of iron.You shall dash them in pieces like a potter’s vessel.”

10Now therefore be wise, you kings.Be instructed, you judges of the earth.11Serve the Lord with fear,and rejoice with trembling.

GospelJohn 14:1-6

From the Gospel according to John

1“Don’t let your heart be troubled.Believe in God.Believe also in me.2In my Father’s house are many homes.If it weren’t so, I would have told you.I am going to prepare a place for you.3If I go and prepare a place for you,I will come again and will receive you to myself;that where I am, you may be there also.4You know where I go, and you know the way.”

5Thomas said to him,“Lord, we don’t know where you are going.How can we know the way?”

6Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life.No one comes to the Father, except through me.

Léctio libri Sapiéntiæ

Eccli 44:16-27; 45, 3-20

Ecce sacérdos magnus, qui in diébus suis plácuit Deo, et invéntus est justus: et in témpore iracúndiæ factus est reconciliátio. Non est invéntus símilis illi, qui conservávit legem Excélsi. Ideo jurejurándo fecit illum Dóminus créscere in plebem suam. Benedictiónem ómnium géntium dedit illi, et testaméntum suum confirmávit super caput ejus. Agnóvit eum in benedictiónibus suis: conservávit illi misericórdiam suam: et invénit grátiam coram óculis Dómini. Magnificávit eum in conspéctu regum: et dedit illi corónam glóriæ. Státuit illi testaméntum ætérnum, et dedit illi sacerdótium magnum: et beatificávit illum in glória. Fungi sacerdótio, et habére laudem in nómine ipsíus, et offérre illi incénsum dignum in odórem suavitátis.

Lesson from the book of Ecclesiasticus

Sir 44:16-27; 45:3-20

Behold, a great priest, who in his days pleased God, and was found just; and in the time of wrath he was made a reconciliation. There was not found the like to him, who kept the law of the Most High. Therefore, by an oath, the Lord made him to increase among his people. He gave him the blessing of all nations, and confirmed His covenant upon his head. He acknowledged him in His blessings; He preserved for him His mercy; and he found grace before the eyes of the Lord. He glorified him in the sight of kings, and gave him a crown of glory. He made an everlasting covenant with him, and gave him a great priesthood; and made him blessed in glory. To execute the office of the priesthood, and to have praise in His name, and to offer Him a worthy incense for an odor of sweetness.

GospelEvangelium

Sequéntia ☩ sancti Evangélii secúndum Matthǽum

Matt 25:14-23

In illo témpore: Dixit Jesus discípulis suis parábolam hanc: Homo péregre proficíscens vocávit servos suos, et trádidit illis bona sua. Et uni dedit quinque talénta, álii autem duo, álii vero unum, unicuíque secúndum própriam virtútem, et proféctus est statim. Abiit autem, qui quinque talénta accéperat, et operátus est in eis, et lucrátus est ália quinque. Simíliter et, qui duo accéperat, lucrátus est ália duo. Qui autem unum accéperat, ábiens fodit in terram, et abscóndit pecúniam dómini sui. Post multum vero témporis venit dóminus servórum illórum, et pósuit ratiónem cum eis. Et accédens qui quinque talénta accéperat, óbtulit ália quinque talénta, dicens: Dómine, quinque talénta tradidísti mihi, ecce, ália quinque superlucrátus sum. Ait illi dóminus ejus: Euge, serve bone et fidélis, quia super pauca fuísti fidélis, super multa te constítuam: intra in gáudium dómini tui. Accéssit autem et qui duo talénta accéperat, et ait: Dómine, duo talénta tradidísti mihi, ecce, ália duo lucrátus sum. Ait illi dóminus ejus: Euge, serve bone et fidélis, quia super pauca fuísti fidélis, super multa te constítuam: intra in gáudium dómini tui.

Continuation ☩ of the Holy Gospel according to Matthew

Matt 25:14-23

At that time, Jesus spoke this parable to His disciples: A man going abroad, called his servants and handed over his goods to them. And to one he gave five talents, to another two, and to another one, to each according to his particular ability, and then he went on his journey. And he who had received the five talents went and traded with them, and gained five more. In like manner, he who had received the two gained two more. But he who had received the one went away and dug in the earth and hid his master’s money. Then after a long time the master of those servants came and settled accounts with them. And he who had received the five talents came and brought five other talents, saying, ‘Master, you handed over to me five talents; behold, I have gained five others in addition.’ His master said to him, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant; because you have been faithful over a few things, I will set you over many; enter into the joy of your master.’ And he also who had received the two talents came, and said, ‘Master, you handed over to me two talents; behold, I have gained two more.’ His master said to him, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant; because you have been faithful over a few things, I will set you over many; enter into the joy of your master.’

PrefacePrefatio

Paschalis

Vere dignum et justum est, æquum et salutáre: Te quidem, Dómine, omni témpore, sed in hoc potíssimum gloriósius prædicáre, cum Pascha nostrum immolátus est Christus. Ipse enim verus est Agnus, qui ábstulit peccáta mundi. Qui mortem nostram moriéndo destrúxit et vitam resurgéndo reparávit. Et ídeo cum Angelis et Archángelis, cum Thronis et Dominatiónibus cumque omni milítia cœléstis exércitus hymnum glóriæ tuæ cánimus, sine fine dicéntes:

Easter

It is truly meet and just, right and for our salvation, at all times to praise Thee, O Lord, but more gloriously especially in this season when Christ our Pasch was sacrificed. For He is the Lamb Who hath taken away the sins of the world: Who by dying hath destroyed our death: and by rising again hath restored us to life. And therefore with Angels and Archangels, with Thrones and Dominations, and with all the hosts of the heavenly army, we sing the hymn of Thy glory, evermore saying:
