First ReadingNumbers 24:2-7, 15-17a

From the Book of Numbers

2Balaam lifted up his eyes,and he saw Israel dwelling according to their tribes;and the Spirit of God came on him.3He took up his parable, and said,

“Balaam the son of Beor says,the man whose eyes are open says;4he says, who hears the words of God,who sees the vision of the Almighty,falling down, and having his eyes open:5How goodly are your tents, Jacob,and your dwellings, Israel!6As valleys they are spread out,as gardens by the riverside,as aloes which the Lord has planted,as cedar trees beside the waters.7Water shall flow from his buckets.His seed shall be in many waters.His king shall be higher than Agag.His kingdom shall be exalted.

verses 8–14 are not read15He took up his parable, and said,

“Balaam the son of Beor says,the man whose eyes are open says;16he says, who hears the words of God,knows the knowledge of the Most High,and who sees the vision of the Almighty,falling down, and having his eyes open:17I see him, but not now.I see him, but not near.A star will come out of Jacob.A scepter will rise out of Israel,and shall strike through the corners of Moab,and crush all the sons of Sheth.

Responsorial PsalmPsalm 25:4-5ab, 6 and 7bc, 8-9

4Show me your ways, Lord.Teach me your paths.5Guide me in your truth, and teach me,for you are the God of my salvation.I wait for you all day long.

6Lord, remember your tender mercies and your loving kindness,for they are from old times.7Don’t remember the sins of my youth, nor my transgressions.Remember me according to your loving kindness,for your goodness’ sake, Lord.

8Good and upright is the Lord,therefore he will instruct sinners in the way.9He will guide the humble in justice.He will teach the humble his way.

GospelMatthew 21:23-27

From the Gospel according to Matthew

23When he had come into the temple,the chief priestsand the elders of the people came to him as he was teaching,and said, “By what authority do you do these things?Who gave you this authority?”

24Jesus answered them,“I also will ask you one question,which if you tell me,I likewise will tell you by what authority I do these things.25The baptism of John, where was it from?From heaven or from men?”

They reasoned with themselves,saying, “If we say,‘From heaven,’ he will ask us,‘Why then did you not believe him?’26But if we say, ‘From men,’we fear the multitude,for all hold John as a prophet.”27They answered Jesus, and said, “We don’t know.”

He also said to them,“Neither will I tell you by what authority I do these things.

EpistleLectio

Léctio Epístolæ beáti Pauli Apóstoli ad Corínthios

2 Cor 1:3-7

Fratres: Benedíctus Deus et Pater Dómini nostri Jesu Christi, Pater misericordiárum, et Deus totíus consolatiónis, qui consolátur nos in omni tribulatióne nostra: ut possímus et ipsi consolári eos, qui in omni pressúra sunt, per exhortatiónem, qua exhortámur et ipsi a Deo. Quóniam sicut abúndant passiónes Christi in nobis: ita et per Christum abúndat consolátio nostra. Sive autem tribulámur pro vestra exhortatióne et salúte, sive consolámur pro vestra consolatióne, sive exhortámur pro vestra exhortatióne et salúte, quæ operátur tolerántiam earúndem passiónum, quas et nos pátimur: ut spes nostra firma sit pro vobis: sciéntes, quod, sicut sócii passiónum estis, sic éritis et consolatiónis: in Christo Jesu, Dómino nostro.

Lesson from the second letter of St. Paul the Apostle to the Corinthians

2 Cor. 1:3-7

Brethren: Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and the God of all comfort, Who comforts us in all our afflictions, that we also may be able to comfort those who are in any distress by the comfort wherewith we ourselves are comforted by God. For as the sufferings of Christ abound in us, so also through Christ does our comfort abound. For whether we are afflicted, it is for your instruction and salvation; or whether we are comforted, it is for your comfort; which shows its efficacy in the endurance of the selfsame sufferings that we also suffer. And our hope for you is steadfast, knowing that as you are partakers of the sufferings, so will you also be of the comfort, in Christ Jesus our Lord.

GospelEvangelium

Sequéntia ☩ sancti Evangélii secúndum Matthǽum

Matt 16:24-27

In illo témpore: Dixit Jesus discípulis suis: Si quis vult post me veníre, ábneget semetípsum, et tollat crucem suam, et sequátur me. Qui enim voluerit ánimam suam salvam fácere, perdet eam: qui autem perdíderit ánimam suam propter me, invéniet eam. Quid enim prodest hómini, si mundum univérsum lucrétur, ánimæ vero suæ detriméntum patiátur? Aut quam dabit homo commutatiónem pro ánima sua? Fílius enim hóminis ventúrus est in glória Patris sui cum Angelis suis: et tunc reddet unicuíque secúndum ópera ejus.

Continuation ☩ of the Holy Gospel according to Matthew

Matt 16:24-27.

At that time, Jesus said to His disciples, If anyone wishes to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow Me. For he who would save his life will lose it; but he who loses his life for My sake will find it. For what does it profit a man, if he gain the whole world, but suffer the loss of his own soul? For the Son of Man is to come with His angels in the glory of His Father, and then He will render to everyone according to His conduct.

And do Thou command that it be permitted us to join with them in confessing Thee, while we say with lowly praise:
