First ReadingActs 13:13-25

From the Acts of the Apostles

13Now Paul and his company set sail from Paphosand came to Perga in Pamphylia.John departed from them and returned to Jerusalem.14But they, passing on from Perga,came to Antioch of Pisidia.They went into the synagogue on the Sabbath day and sat down.15After the reading of the law and the prophets,the rulers of the synagogue sent to them,saying, “Brothers,if you have any word of exhortation for the people, speak.”

16Paul stood up, and gesturing with his hand said,“Men of Israel, and you who fear God, listen.17The God of this people chose our fathers,and exalted the peoplewhen they stayed as aliens in the land of Egypt,and with an uplifted arm,he led them out of it.18For a period of about forty years he put up with them in the wilderness.19When he had destroyed seven nations in the land of Canaan,he gave them their land for an inheritance for about four hundred fifty years.20After these things,he gave them judges until Samuel the prophet.21Afterward they asked for a king,and God gave to them Saul the son of Kish,a man of the tribe of Benjamin, for forty years.22When he had removed him,he raised up David to be their king,to whom he also testified,‘I have found David the son of Jesse,a man after my heart,who will do all my will.’23From this man’s offspring,God has brought salvation to Israel according to his promise,24before his coming,when John had first preached the baptism of repentance to Israel.25As John was fulfilling his course,he said, ‘What do you suppose that I am?I am not he.But behold, one comes after me,the sandals of whose feet I am not worthy to untie.’

Responsorial PsalmPsalm 89:2-3, 21-22, 25 and 27

2I will sing of the loving kindness of the Lord forever.With my mouth, I will make known your faithfulness to all generations.3I indeed declare, “Love stands firm forever.You established the heavens.Your faithfulness is in them.”

21I have found David, my servant.I have anointed him with my holy oil,22with whom my hand shall be established.My arm will also strengthen him.

25But my faithfulness and my loving kindness will be with him.In my name, his horn will be exalted.27He will call to me, ‘You are my Father,my God, and the rock of my salvation!’

GospelJohn 13:16-20

From the Gospel according to John

16Most certainly I tell you,a servant is not greater than his lord,neither is one who is sent greater than he who sent him.17If you know these things, blessed are you if you do them.18I don’t speak concerning all of you.I know whom I have chosen;but that the Scripture may be fulfilled,‘He who eats bread with me has lifted up his heel against me.’19From now on, I tell you before it happens,that when it happens,you may believe that I am he.20Most certainly I tell you,he who receives whomever I send, receives me;and he who receives me, receives him who sent me.”

EpistleLectio

Léctio Epístolæ beáti Pauli Apóstoli ad Corínthios.

2 Cor 4:5-14.

Fratres: Non nosmetípsos prædicámus, sed Jesum Christum, Dóminum nostrum: nos autem servos vestros per Jesum: quóniam Deus, qui dixit de ténebris lucem splendéscere, ipse illúxit in córdibus nostris ad illuminatiónem sciéntiæ claritátis Dei, in fácie Christi Jesu. Habémus autem thesáurum istum in vasis fictílibus: ut sublímitas sit virtútis Dei, et non ex nobis. In ómnibus tribulatiónem pátimur, sed non angustiámur: aporiámur, sed non destitúimur: persecutiónem pátimur, sed non derelínquimur: dejícimur, sed non perímus: semper mortificatiónem Jesu in córpore nostro circumferéntes, ut et vita Jesu manifestétur in corpóribus nostris. Semper enim nos, qui vívimus, in mortem trádimur propter Jesum: ut et vita Jesu manifestétur in carne nostra mortáli. Ergo mors in nobis operátur, vita autem in vobis. Habéntes autem eúndem spíritum fídei, sicut scriptum est: Crédidi, propter quod locútus sum: et nos crédimus, propter quod et lóquimur: sciéntes, quóniam qui suscitávit Jesum, et nos cum Jesu suscitábit et constítuet vobíscum.

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

2 Cor. 4:5-14

Brethren: We preach not ourselves, but Jesus Christ as Lord, and ourselves merely as your servants in Jesus. For God, Who commanded light to shine out of darkness, has shone in our hearts, to give enlightenment concerning the knowledge of the glory of God, shining on the face of Christ Jesus. But we carry this treasure in vessels of clay, to show that the abundance of the power is God’s and not ours. In all things we suffer tribulation, but we are not distressed; we are sore pressed, but we are not destitute; we endure persecution, but we are not forsaken; we are cast down, but we do not perish; always bearing about in our body the dying of Jesus, so that the life also of Jesus may be made manifest in our bodily frame. For we the living are constantly being handed over to death for Jesus’ sake, that the life also of Jesus may be made manifest in our mortal flesh. Thus death is at work in us, but life in you. But since we have the same spirit of faith, as shown in that which is written - I believed, and so I spoke - we also believed, wherefore we also speak. For we know that He Who raised up Jesus will raise up us also with Jesus, and will place us with you.

GospelEvangelium

Sequéntia ☩ sancti Evangélii secúndum Matthǽum.

Matt 10:23-28

In illo témpore: Dixit Jesus discípulis suis: Cum persequéntur vos in civitáte ista, fúgite in áliam. Amen dico vobis, non consummábitis civitátes Israël, donec véniat Fílius hóminis. Non est discípulus super magistrum, nec servus super dóminum suum. Súfficit discípulo, ut sit sicut magister ejus: et servo, sicut dóminus ejus. Si patremfamílias Beélzebub vocavérunt: quanto magis domésticos ejus? Ne ergo timuéritis eos. Nihil enim est opértum, quod non revelábitur: et occúltum, quod non sciétur. Quod dico vobis in ténebris, dícite in lúmine: et, quod in aure audítis, prædicáte super tecta. Et nolíte timére eos, qui occídunt corpus, ánimam autem non possunt occídere: sed pótius timéte eum, qui potest et ánimam et corpus pérdere in gehénnam.

Continuation ☩ of the Holy Gospel according to Matthew

Matt 10:23-28

At that time, Jesus said to His disciples, When they persecute you in one town, flee to another. Amen I say to you, you will not have gone through the towns of Israel before the Son of Man comes. No disciple is above his teacher, nor is the servant above his master. It is enough for the disciple to be like his teacher, and for the servant to be like his master. If they have called the master of the house Beelzebub, how much more those of his household! Therefore do not be afraid of them. For there is nothing concealed that will not be disclosed, and nothing hidden that will not be made known. What I tell you in darkness, speak it in the light; and what you hear whispered, preach it on the housetops. And do not be afraid of those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. But rather be afraid of Him, Who is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.

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:
