First ReadingSirach 39:6-10

From the Book of Sirach

6If the great Lord wills,he will be filled with the spirit of understanding;he will pour forth the words of his wisdomand in prayer give thanks to the Lord.7He will direct his counsel and knowledge,and he will meditate in his secrets.8He will show the instruction which he has been taughtand will glory in the law of the covenant of the Lord.9Many will commend his understanding.So long as the world endures, it won’t be blotted out.His memory won’t depart.His name will live from generation to generation.10Nations will declare his wisdom.The congregation will proclaim his praise.

Responsorial PsalmPsalm 116:12-19

12What will I give to the Lord for all his benefits toward me?13I will take the cup of salvation, and call on the Lord’s name.14I will pay my vows to the Lord,yes, in the presence of all his people.15Precious in the Lord’s sight is the death of his saints.16Lord, truly I am your servant.I am your servant, the son of your servant girl.You have freed me from my chains.17I will offer to you the sacrifice of thanksgiving,and will call on the Lord’s name.18I will pay my vows to the Lord,yes, in the presence of all his people,19in the courts of the Lord’s house,in the middle of you, Jerusalem.Praise the Lord!

Second Reading2 Timothy 4:1-8

From the Second Letter of Paul to Timothy

1I command you therefore before Godand the Lord Jesus Christ,who will judge the livingand the dead at his appearing and his Kingdom:2preach the word;be urgent in season and out of season;reprove, rebuke,and exhort with all patience and teaching.3For the time will comewhen they will not listen to the sound doctrine,but having itching ears,will heap up for themselves teachers after their own lusts,4and will turn away their ears from the truth,and turn away to fables.5But you be sober in all things,suffer hardship, do the work of an evangelist,and fulfill your ministry.

6For I am already being offered,and the time of my departure has come.7I have fought the good fight.I have finished the course.I have kept the faith.8From now on, the crown of righteousness is stored up for me,which the Lord, the righteous judge,will give to me on that day;and not to me only,but also to all those who have loved his appearing.

GospelMatthew 13:24-32

From the Gospel according to Matthew

24He set another parable before them,saying, “The Kingdom of Heaven is like a manwho sowed good seed in his field,25but while people slept,his enemy cameand sowed darnel weeds also among the wheat, and went away.26But when the blade sprang up and produced grain,then the darnel weeds appeared also.27The servants of the householder came and said to him,‘Sir, didn’t you sow good seed in your field?Where did these darnel weeds come from?’

28“He said to them, ‘An enemy has done this.’

“The servants asked him,‘Do you want us to go and gather them up?’

29“But he said, ‘No,lest perhaps while you gather up the darnel weeds,you root up the wheat with them.30Let both grow together until the harvest,and in the harvest time I will tell the reapers,“First, gather up the darnel weeds,and bind them in bundles to burn them;but gather the wheat into my barn.”’”

31He set another parable before them,saying, “The Kingdom of Heaven is like a grain of mustard seed which a man took,and sowed in his field,32which indeed is smaller than all seeds.But when it is grown,it is greater than the herbs and becomes a tree,so that the birds of the air comeand lodge in its branches.”

Léctio Daniélis Prophétæ

Dan 14:27, 28-42

In diébus illis: Congregáti sunt Babylónii ad regem, et dixérunt ei: Trade nobis Daniélem, qui Bel destrúxit et dracónem interfécit, alióquin interficiémus te, et domum tuam. Vidit ergo rex, quod irrúerent in eum veheménter: et necessitáte compúlsus trádidit eis Daniélem. Qui misérunt eum in lacum leónum, et erat ibi diébus sex. Porro in lacu erant leónes septem, et dabántur eis duo córpora cotídie et duæ oves: et tunc non data sunt eis, ut devorárent Daniélem. Erat autem Hábacuc prophéta in Judǽa, et ipse cóxerat pulméntum, et intríverat panes in alvéolo: et ibat in campum, ut ferret messóribus. Dixítque Angelus Dómini ad Hábacuc: Fer prándium, quod habes, in Babylónem Daniéli, qui est in lacu leónum. Et dixit Hábacuc: Dómine, Babylónem non vidi, et lacum néscio. Et apprehéndit eum Angelus Dómini in vértice ejus, et portávit eum capíllo cápitis sui, posuítque eum in Babylóne supra lacum in ímpetu spíritus sui. Et clamávit Hábacuc, dicens: Dániel, serve Dei, tolle prándium, quod misit tibi Deus. Et ait Dániel: Recordátus es mei, Deus, et non dereliquísti diligéntes te. Surgénsque Daniel comédit. Porro Angelus Dómini restítuit Hábacuc conféstim in loco suo. Venit ergo rex die séptimo, ut lugéret Daniélem: et venit ad lacum et introspéxit, et ecce Dániel sedens in médio leónum. Et exclamávit voce magna rex, dicens: Magnus es, Dómine, Deus Daniélis. Et extráxit eum de lacu leónum. Porro illos, qui perditiónis ejus causa fúerant, intromísit in lacum, et devoráti sunt in moménto coram eo. Tunc rex ait: Páveant omnes habitántes in univérsa terra Deum Daniélis: quia ipse est salvátor, fáciens signa et mirabília in terra: qui liberávit Daniélem de lacu leónum.

Lesson from the Prophecy of Daniel

Dan 14:27-42

In those days, the Babylonians went to the king and demanded: Hand over to us Daniel, who has destroyed Bel and killed the dragon, or we will kill you and your family. When he saw himself threatened with violence, the king was forced to hand Daniel over to them. They threw Daniel into a lions’ den, where he remained six days. In the den were seven lions, and two carcasses and two sheep had been given to them daily. But now they were given nothing, so that they would devour Daniel. In Judea there was a prophet, Habacuc; he mixed some bread in a bowl with the stew he had boiled, and was going to bring it to the reapers in the field, when an Angel of the Lord told him, Take the lunch you have to Daniel in the lions’ den at Babylon. But Habacuc answered, Babylon, sir, I have never seen, and I do not know the den! The Angel of the Lord seized him by the crown of his head and carried him by the hair; with the speed of the wind, he set him down in Babylon above the den. Daniel, servant of God, cried Habacuc, take the lunch God has sent you. You have remembered me, O God, said Daniel; You have not forsaken those who love You. While Daniel began to eat, the Angel of the Lord at once brought Habacuc back to his own place. On the seventh day the king came to mourn for Daniel. As he came to the den and looked in, there was Daniel, sitting in the midst of the lions! The king cried aloud, You are great, O Lord, the God of Daniel! Daniel he took out of the lions’ den, but those who had tried to destroy him he threw into the den, and they were devoured in a moment before his eyes. Then the king said: Let all the inhabitants of the whole earth fear the God of Daniel; for He is the Saviour, working signs and wonders in the earth, Who has delivered Daniel out of the lions’ den.

Sequéntia ☩ sancti Evangélii secúndum Joánnem

Joann 7:1-13

In illo témpore: Ambulábat Jesus in Galilǽam, non enim volébat in Judǽam ambuláre, quia quærébant eum Judǽi interfícere. Erat autem in próximo dies festus Judæórum, Scenopégia. Dixérunt autem ad eum fratres ejus: Transi hinc, et vade in Judǽam, ut et discípuli tui vídeant ópera tua, quæ facis. Nemo quippe in occúlto quid facit, et quærit ipse in palam esse: si hæc facis, manifésta teipsum mundo. Neque enim fratres ejus credébant in eum. Dixit ergo eis Jesus: Tempus meum nondum advénit: tempus autem vestrum semper est parátum. Non potest mundus odísse vos: me autem odit: quia ego testimónium perhíbeo de illo, quod ópera ejus mala sunt. Vos ascéndite ad diem festum hunc, ego autem non ascéndo ad diem festum istum: quia meum tempus nondum implétum est. Hæc cum dixísset, ipse mansit in Galilǽa. Ut autem ascendérunt fratres ejus, tunc et ipse ascéndit ad diem festum non maniféste, sed quasi in occúlto. Judǽi ergo quærébant eum in die festo, et dicébant: Ubi est ille? Et murmur multum erat in turba de eo. Quidam enim dicébant: Quia bonus est. Alii autem dicébant: Non, sed sedúcit turbas. Nemo tamen palam loquebátur de illo, propter metum Judæórum.

Continuation of the Holy Gospel according to John

John 7:1-13

At that time, Jesus went about in Galilee, for He did not wish to go about in Judea because the Jews were seeking to put Him to death. Now the Jewish feast of Tabernacles was at hand. His brethren therefore said to Him, Leave here and go into Judea that Your disciples also may see the works that You do; for no one does a thing in secret if he wants to be publicly known. If You do these things, manifest yourself to the world. For not even His brethren believed in Him. Jesus therefore said to them, My time has not yet come, but your time is always at hand. The world cannot hate you, but it hates Me because I bear witness concerning it, that its works are evil. As for you, go up to the feast, but I do not go up to this feast, for My time is not yet fulfilled. When He had said these things He stayed on in Galilee. But as soon as His brethren had gone up to the feast, then He also went up, not publicly, but as it were privately. The Jews therefore were looking for Him at the feast, and were saying, Where is He? And there was much whispered comment among the crowd concerning Him. For some were saying, He is a good man. But others were saying, No, rather He seduces the crowd. Yet for fear of the Jews no one spoke openly of Him.

de Sancta Cruce

Vere dignum et justum est, æquum et salutáre, nos tibi semper et ubíque grátias ágere: Dómine sancte, Pater omnípotens, ætérne Deus: Qui salútem humáni géneris in ligno Crucis constituísti: ut, unde mors oriebátur, inde vita resúrgeret: et, qui in ligno vincébat, in ligno quoque vincerétur: per Christum, Dóminum nostrum. Per quem majestátem tuam laudant Angeli, adórant Dominatiónes, tremunt Potestátes. Cæli cælorúmque Virtútes ac beáta Séraphim sócia exsultatióne concélebrant. Cum quibus et nostras voces ut admítti júbeas, deprecámur, súpplici confessióne dicéntes:

Holy Cross

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 didst establish the salvation of mankind on the tree of the Cross; that whence death came, thence also life might arise again, and that he, who overcame by the tree, by the tree also might be overcome: Through Christ our Lord. Through whom the Angels praise Thy Majesty, the Dominations worship it, the Powers stand in awe. The Heavens and the heavenly hosts together with the blessed Seraphim in triumphant chorus unite to celebrate it. Together with these we entreat Thee that Thou mayest bid our voices also to be admitted while we say with lowly praise:
