First ReadingEzekiel 28:1-10

From the Book of Ezekiel

1The Lord’s word came again to me, saying,2“Son of man, tell the prince of Tyre, ‘The Lord GOD says:

“Because your heart is lifted up,and you have said, ‘I am a god,I sit in the seat of God,in the middle of the seas;’yet you are man,and no god,though you set your heart as the heart of a god—3behold, you are wiser than Daniel.There is no secret that is hidden from you.4By your wisdom and by your understanding you have gotten yourself riches,and have gotten gold and silver into your treasuries.5By your great wisdomand by your trading you have increased your riches,and your heart is lifted up because of your riches—”

6“‘therefore the Lord GOD says:

“Because you have set your heart as the heart of God,7therefore, behold, I will bring strangers on you,the terrible of the nations.They will draw their swords against the beauty of your wisdom.They will defile your brightness.8They will bring you down to the pit.You will die the death of those who are slainin the heart of the seas.9Will you yet say before him who kills you, ‘I am God’?But you are man, and not God,in the hand of him who wounds you.10You will die the death of the uncircumcisedby the hand of strangers;for I have spoken it,” says the Lord GOD.’”

Responsorial PsalmDeuteronomy 32:26-27ab, 27cd-28, 30, 35cd-36ab

From the Book of Deuteronomy

26I said that I would scatter them afar.I would make their memory to cease from among men;27were it not that I feared the provocation of the enemy,lest their adversaries should judge wrongly,

27lest they should say, ‘Our hand is exalted;the Lord has not done all this.’”28For they are a nation void of counsel.There is no understanding in them.

30How could one chase a thousand,and two put ten thousand to flight,unless their Rock had sold them,and the Lord had delivered them up?

35Vengeance is mine, and recompense,at the time when their foot slides,for the day of their calamity is at hand.Their doom rushes at them.”36For the Lord will judge his people,and have compassion on his servants,when he sees that their power is gone,that there is no one remaining, shut up or left at large.

GospelMatthew 19:23-30

From the Gospel according to Matthew

23Jesus said to his disciples,“Most certainly I say to you,a rich man will enter into the Kingdom of Heaven with difficulty.24Again I tell you, it is easier for a camel to go through a needle’s eye than for a rich man to enter into God’s Kingdom.”

25When the disciples heard it,they were exceedingly astonished,saying, “Who then can be saved?”

26Looking at them, Jesus said,“With men this is impossible,but with God all things are possible.”

27Then Peter answered,“Behold, we have left everything and followed you.What then will we have?”

28Jesus said to them,“Most certainly I tell you that you who have followed me,in the regenerationwhen the Son of Man will sit on the throne of his glory,you also will sit on twelve thrones,judging the twelve tribes of Israel.29Everyone who has left houses,or brothers, or sisters,or father, or mother,or wife, or children,or lands, for my name’s sake,will receive one hundred times,and will inherit eternal life.30But many will be last who are first,and first who are last.

EpistleLectio

Léctio libri Sapiéntiæ

Eccli 39:6-14

Justus cor suum tradet ad vigilándum dilúculo ad Dóminum, qui fecit illum, et in conspéctu Altíssimi deprecábitur. Apériet os suum in oratióne, et pro delíctis suis deprecábitur. Si enim Dóminus magnus volúerit, spíritu intellegéntias replébit illum: et ipse tamquam imbres mittet elóquia sapiéntiæ suæ, et in oratióne confitébitur Dómino: et ipse díriget consílium ejus et disciplínam, et in abscónditis suis consiliábitur. Ipse palam fáciet disciplínam doctrínæ suæ, et in lege testaménti Dómini gloriábitur. Collaudábunt multi sapiéntiam ejus, et usque in sǽculum non delébitur. Non recédet memória ejus, et nomen ejus requirétur a generatióne in generatiónem. Sapiéntiam ejus enarrábunt gentes, et laudem ejus enuntiábit ecclésia.

Lesson from the book of Ecclesiasticus

Ecclus 39:6-14

The just man will give his heart to resort early to the Lord his Maker, and he will pray in the sight of the Most High. He will open his mouth in prayer, and will ask pardon for his sins. Then, if it pleases the Lord Almighty, He will fill him with the spirit of understanding; and he will pour forth his words of wisdom as showers, and in prayer give thanks to the Lord, Who will direct his knowledge and his counsel, as he meditates upon His mysteries. He will show the wisdom of what he has learned and glory in the Law of the Lord’s covenant. Many will praise his understanding; his fame can never be effaced; unfading will be his memory, through all generations his name will live; peoples will speak of his wisdom, the assembly will sing his praises.

GospelEvangelium

Sequéntia ☩ sancti Evangélii secúndum Matthǽum

Matt 5:13-19

In illo témpore: Dixit Jesus discípulis suis: Vos estis sal terræ. Quod si sal evanúerit, in quo saliétur? Ad níhilum valet ultra, nisi ut mittátur foras, et conculcétur ab homínibus. Vos estis lux mundi. ¶ Non potest cívitas abscóndi supra montem pósita. Neque accéndunt lucérnam, et ponunt eam sub módio, sed super candelábrum, ut lúceat ómnibus, qui in domo sunt. Sic luceat lux vestra coram homínibus, ut vídeant ópera vestra bona, et gloríficent Patrem vestrum, qui in cœlis est. Nolíte putáre, quóniam veni sólvere legem aut prophétas: non veni sólvere, sed adimplére. Amen, quippe dico vobis, donec tránseat cœlum et terra, jota unum aut unus apex non præteríbit a lege, donec ómnia fiant. Qui ergo sólverit unum de mandátis istis mínimis, et docúerit sic hómines, mínimus vocábitur in regno cœlórum: qui autem fécerit et docúerit, hic magnus vocábitur in regno cœlórum.

Continuation ☩ of the Holy Gospel according to Matthew

Matt 5:13-19

In that time Jesus said to His disciples: You are the salt of the earth. But if the salt lose its savour, wherewith shall it be salted? It is good for nothing any more but to be cast out, and to be trodden on by men. You are the light of the world. A city seated on a mountain cannot be hid. Neither do men light a candle and put it under a bushel, but upon a candlestick, that it may shine to all that are in the house. So let your light shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father who is in heaven. Do not think that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets. I am not come to destroy, but to fulfill. For amen I say unto you, till heaven and earth pass, one jot, or one tittle shall not pass of the law, till all be fulfilled. He therefore that shall break one of these least commandments, and shall so teach men, shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven. But he that shall do and teach, he shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.

The just shall flourish like the palm tree: he shall grow up like the cedar of Libanus.

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:
