First Reading2 Chronicles 24:17-25

From the Second Book of Chronicles

17Now after the death of Jehoiada,the princes of Judah came and bowed down to the king.Then the king listened to them.18They abandoned the house of the Lord,the God of their fathers,and served the Asherah poles and the idols,so wrath came on Judahand Jerusalem for this their guiltiness.19Yet he sent prophets to them to bring them again to the Lord,and they testified against them;but they would not listen.

20The Spirit of God came on Zechariah the son of Jehoiada the priest;and he stood above the people,and said to them, “God says,‘Why do you disobey the Lord’s commandments,so that you can’t prosper?Because you have forsaken the Lord,he has also forsaken you.’”

21They conspired against him,and stoned him with stones at the commandment of the king in the court of the Lord’s house.22Thus Joash the king didn’t remember the kindnesswhich Jehoiada his father had done to him,but killed his son.When he died, he said,“May the Lord look at it, and repay it.”

23At the end of the year,the army of the Syrians came up against him.They came to Judah and Jerusalem,and destroyed all the princes of the people from among the people,and sent all their plunder to the king of Damascus.24For the army of the Syrians came with a small company of men;and the Lord delivered a very great army into their hand,because they had forsaken the Lord,the God of their fathers.So they executed judgment on Joash.

25When they had departed from him (for they left him seriously wounded),his own servants conspired against him for the blood of the sons of Jehoiada the priest,and killed him on his bed, and he died.They buried him in David’s city,but they didn’t bury him in the tombs of the kings.

Responsorial PsalmPsalm 89:4-5, 29-30, 31-32, 33-34

4“I have made a covenant with my chosen one,I have sworn to David, my servant,5‘I will establish your offspring forever,and build up your throne to all generations.’”

29I will keep my loving kindness for him forever more.My covenant will stand firm with him.30I will also make his offspring endure forever,and his throne as the days of heaven.

31If his children forsake my law,and don’t walk in my ordinances;32if they break my statutes,and don’t keep my commandments;

33then I will punish their sin with the rod,and their iniquity with stripes.34But I will not completely take my loving kindness from him,nor allow my faithfulness to fail.

GospelMatthew 6:24-34

From the Gospel according to Matthew

24“No one can serve two masters,for either he will hate the one and love the other,or else he will be devoted to one and despise the other.You can’t serve both God and Mammon.25Therefore I tell you, don’t be anxious for your life:what you will eat, or what you will drink;nor yet for your body, what you will wear.Isn’t life more than food,and the body more than clothing?26See the birds of the sky,that they don’t sow,neither do they reap,nor gather into barns.Your heavenly Father feeds them.Aren’t you of much more value than they?

27“Which of you by being anxious,can add one moment to his lifespan?28Why are you anxious about clothing?Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow.They don’t toil, neither do they spin,29yet I tell youthat even Solomon in all his glory was not dressed like one of these.30But if God so clothes the grass of the field,which today exists and tomorrow is thrown into the oven,won’t he much more clothe you,you of little faith?

31“Therefore don’t be anxious,saying, ‘What will we eat?’,‘What will we drink?’or, ‘With what will we be clothed?’32For the Gentiles seek after all these things;for your heavenly Father knowsthat you need all these things.33But seek first God’s Kingdom and his righteousness;and all these things will be given to you as well.34Therefore don’t be anxious for tomorrow,for tomorrow will be anxious for itself.Each day’s own evil is sufficient.

Léctio Jeremíæ Prophétæ

Jer 1:4-10

In diébus illis: Factum est verbum Dómini ad me, dicens: Priúsquam te formárem in útero, novi te: et ántequam exíres de vulva, sanctificári te, et prophétam in géntibus dedi te. Et dixi: A a a, Dómine Deus: ecce, néscio loqui, quia puer ego sum. Et dixit Dóminus ad me: Noli dícere: Puer sum; quóniam ad ómnia, quæ mittam te, ibis: et univérsa, quæcúmque mandávero tibi, lóqueris. Ne tímeas a fácie eórum: quia tecum ego sum, ut éruam te, dicit Dóminus. Et misit Dóminus manum suam, et tétigit os meum: et dixit Dóminus ad me: Ecce, dedi verba mea in ore tuo; ecce, constítui te hódie super gentes et super regna, ut evéllas, et déstruas et dispérdas et díssipes et ædífices et plantes: dicit Dóminus omnípotens.

Lesson from the book of Jeremias

Jer 1:4-10

In those days, the word of the Lord came to me thus: Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, before you were born I dedicated you, a prophet to the nations I appointed you. Ah, Lord God! I said, I know not how to speak; I am too young. But the Lord answered me, Say not, ‘I am too young.’ To whomever I send you, you shall go; whatever I command you, you shall speak. Have no fear before them, because I am with you to deliver you, says the Lord. Then the Lord extended His hand and touched my mouth, saying, See, I place My words in your mouth! This day I set you over nations and over kingdoms, to root up and to tear down, to destroy and to demolish, to build and to plant, says the Lord almighty.

Initium ☩ sancti Evangélii secúndum Lucam

Luc 1:5-17

Fuit in diébus Heródis, regis Judææ, sacérdos quidam nómine Zacharías, de vice Abía, et uxor illíus de filiábus Aaron, et nomen ejus Elísabeth. Erant autem justi ambo ante Deum, incedéntes in ómnibus mandátis et justificatiónibus Dómini sine queréla, et non erat illis fílius, eo quod esset Elísabeth stérilis, et ambo processíssent in diébus suis. Factum est autem, cum sacerdótio fungerétur in órdine vicis suæ ante Deum, secúndum consuetúdinem sacerdótii, sorte éxiit, ut incénsum póneret, ingréssus in templum Dómini: et omnis multitúdo pópuli erat orans foris hora incénsi. Appáruit autem illi Angelus Dómini, stans a dextris altáris incénsi. Et Zacharias turbátus est, videns, et timor írruit super eum. Ait autem ad illum Angelus: Ne tímeas, Zacharía, quóniam exaudíta est deprecátio tua: et uxor tua Elísabeth páriet tibi fílium, et vocábis nomen ejus Joánnem: et erit gáudium tibi et exsultátio, et multi in nativitáte ejus gaudébunt: erit enim magnus coram Dómino: et vinum, et síceram non bibet, et Spíritu Sancto replébitur adhuc ex útero matris suæ: et multos filiórum Israël convértet ad Dóminum, Deum ipsórum: et ipse præcédet ante illum in spíritu et virtúte Elíæ: ut convértat corda patrum in fílios, et incrédulos ad prudéntiam justórum, paráre Dómino plebem perféctam.

Continuation ☩ of the Holy Gospel according to Luke

Luke 1:5-17

In the days of Herod, king of Judea, there was a certain priest named Zachary, of the course of Abia; and his wife was of the daughters of Aaron, and her name was Elizabeth. Both were just before God, walking blamelessly in all the commandments and ordinances of the Lord. But they had no son, for Elizabeth was barren, and they were both advanced in years. Now it came to pass, while he was officiating in the order of his course as priest before God, according to the custom of the priest’s office, that he was chosen by lot to enter the temple of the Lord to burn incense. And the whole multitude of the people were praying outside at the hour of incense. And there appeared to him an angel of the Lord, standing at the right of the altar of incense. And Zachary, seeing him, was troubled, and fear fell upon him. But the angel said to him, Do not be afraid, Zachary, for your petition has been heard, and your wife Elizabeth shall bear you a son and you shall call his name John. And you shall have joy and gladness, and many will rejoice at his birth. For he shall be great before the Lord; he shall drink no wine or strong drink, and shall be filled with the Holy Spirit even from his mother’s womb. And he shall bring back to the Lord their God many of the children of Israel, and he shall himself go before Him in the spirit and power of Elias, to turn the hearts of fathers to their children and the incredulous to the wisdom of the just; to prepare for the Lord a perfect people.

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:
