First ReadingGenesis 22:9-18

From the Book of Genesis

or Hebrews 10:4-10

9They came to the place which God had told him of.Abraham built the altar there,and laid the wood in order,bound Isaac his son,and laid him on the altar, on the wood.10Abraham stretched out his hand,and took the knife to kill his son.

11The Lord’s angel called to him out of the sky,and said, “Abraham, Abraham!”

He said, “Here I am.”

12He said, “Don’t lay your hand on the boy or do anything to him.For now I know that you fear God,since you have not withheld your son,your only son, from me.”

13Abraham lifted up his eyes,and looked, and sawthat behind him was a ram caught in the thicket by his horns.Abraham went and took the ram,and offered him up for a burnt offering instead of his son.14Abraham called the name ofthat place “The Lord Will Provide”.As it is said to this day,“On the Lord’s mountain,it will be provided.”

15The Lord’s angel called to Abraham a second time out of the sky,16and said, “‘I have sworn by myself,’says the Lord, ‘because you have done this thing,and have not withheld your son, your only son,17that I will bless you greatly,and I will multiply your offspring greatly like the stars of the heavens,and like the sand which is on the seashore.Your offspring will possess the gate of his enemies.18All the nations of the earth will be blessed by your offspring,because you have obeyed my voice.’”

Responsorial PsalmPsalm 40:7-8a, 10-11ab, 17

7Sacrifice and offering you didn’t desire.You have opened my ears.You have not required burnt offering and sin offering.8Then I said, “Behold, I have come.It is written about me in the book in the scroll.

10I have proclaimed glad news of righteousness in the great assembly.Behold, I will not seal my lips, Lord, you know.11I have not hidden your righteousness within my heart.I have declared your faithfulness and your salvation.I have not concealed your loving kindness and your truth from the great assembly.

17Let all those who seek you rejoice and be glad in you.Let such as love your salvation say continually, “Let the Lord be exalted!”

GospelMatthew 26:36-42

From the Gospel according to Matthew

36Then Jesus came with them to a place called Gethsemane,and said to his disciples,“Sit here, while I go there and pray.”37He took with him Peter and the two sons of Zebedee,and began to be sorrowful and severely troubled.38Then Jesus said to them,“My soul is exceedingly sorrowful, even to death.Stay here and watch with me.”

39He went forward a little,fell on his face, and prayed,saying, “My Father,if it is possible,let this cup pass away from me;nevertheless, not what I desire, but what you desire.”

40He came to the disciples and found them sleeping,and said to Peter,“What, couldn’t you watch with me for one hour?41Watch and pray, that you don’t enter into temptation.The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.”

42Again, a second time he went away and prayed,saying, “My Father,if this cup can’t pass away from me unless I drink it,your desire be done.”

EpistleLectio

Léctio Actuum Apostolórum

Acts 8:5-8

In diébus illis: Philíppus descéndens in civitátem Samaríæ, prædicábat illis Christum. Intendébant autem turbæ his, quæ a Philíppo dicebántur, unanímiter audiéntes et vidéntes signa, quæ faciébat. Multi enim eórum, qui habébant spíritus immúndos, clamántes voce magna, exíbant. Multi autem paralýtici et claudi curáti sunt. Factum est ergo gáudium magnum in illa civitáte.

Lesson from the Acts of Apostles

Acts 8:5-8

In those days, Philip went down to the city of Samaria and preached the Christ to them. And the crowds with one accord gave heed to what was said by Philip, listening to him and seeing the miracles that he worked. For unclean spirits, crying with a loud voice, went out of many possessed persons, and many paralytics and cripples were cured. So there was great joy in that city.

Holy Spirit! Lord of light!

From Thy clear celestial height, Thy pure, beaming radiance give:

Come, Thou, Father of the poor!

Come, with treasures which endure!

Come, Thou light of all that live!

Thou of all consolers best,

Visiting the troubled breast,

Dost refreshing peace bestow:

Thou in toil art comfort sweet;

Pleasant coolness in the heat;

Solace in the midst of woe.

Light immortal! Light divine!

Visit Thou these hearts of Thine, And our inmost being fill.

If Thou take Thy grace away,

Nothing pure in man will stay;

All his good is turn’d to ill.

Heal our wounds - our strength renew;

On our dryness pour Thy dew;

Wash the stains of guilt away:

Bend the stubborn heart and will;

Melt the frozen, warm the chill;

Guide the steps that go astray.

Thou, on those who evermore

Thee confess and Thee adore,

In Thy sevenfold gifts descend.

Give them comfort when they die;

Give them life with Thee on high;

Give them joys which never end.

Amen. Alleluia.

GospelEvangelium

Sequéntia ☩ sancti Evangélii secúndum Lucam

Luc 9:1-6

In illo témpore: Convocátis Jesus duódecim Apóstolis, dedit illis virtútem et potestátem super ómnia dæmónia, et ut languóres curárent. Et misit illos prædicáre regnum Dei et sanáre infírmos. Et ait ad illos: Nihil tuléritis in via, neque virgam, neque peram, neque panem, neque pecúniam, neque duas túnicas habeátis. Et in quamcúmque domum intravéritis, ibi manéte et inde ne exeátis. Et quicúmque non recéperint vos: exeúntes de civitáte illa, étiam púlverem pedum vestrórum excútite in testimónium supra illos. Egréssi autem circuíbant per castélla, evangelizántes et curántes ubíque.

Continuation ☩ of the Holy Gospel according to Luke

Luke 9:1-6

At that time, having summoned the twelve apostles, Jesus gave them power and authority over all the devils, and to cure diseases. And He sent them forth to preach the kingdom of God, and to heal the sick. And he said to them, Take nothing for your journey, neither staff, nor wallet, nor bread, nor money; neither have two tunics. And whatever house you enter, stay there, and do not depart from thence. And whosoever will not receive you - go forth from that town, and shake off even the dust from your feet for a witness against them. And going forth, they went about from village to village, preaching the gospel and working cures everywhere.

Who ascending above all in the heavens and sitting at Thy Right Hand, poured out the Holy Spirit upon the children of adoption. Wherefore the whole world doth rejoice with overflowing joy; and the heavenly Hosts also and the angelic Powers sing together the hymn of Thy glory, evermore saying:
