First ReadingRevelation 11:4-12

From the Book of Revelation

4These are the two olive trees and the two lamp stands,standing before the Lord of the earth.5If anyone desires to harm them,fire proceeds out of their mouthand devours their enemies.If anyone desires to harm them,he must be killed in this way.6These have the power to shut up the sky,that it may not rain during the days of their prophecy.They have power over the waters,to turn them into blood,and to strike the earth with every plague,as often as they desire.

7When they have finished their testimony,the beast that comes up out of the abyss will make war with them,and overcome them, and kill them.8Their dead bodies will be in the street of the great city,which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt,where also their Lord was crucified.9From among the peoples,tribes, languages,and nations, people will look at their dead bodies for three and a half days,and will not allow their dead bodies to be laid in a tomb.10Those who dwell on the earth will rejoice over them,and they will be glad.They will give gifts to one another,because these two prophets tormented thosewho dwell on the earth.

11After the three and a half days,the breath of life from God entered into them,and they stood on their feet.Great fear fell on those who saw them.12I heard a loud voice from heaven saying to them, “Come up here!”They went up into heaven in a cloud,and their enemies saw them.

Responsorial PsalmPsalm 144:1, 2, 9-10

1Blessed be the Lord, my rock,who trains my hands to war,and my fingers to battle—

2my loving kindness, my fortress,my high tower, my deliverer,my shield, and he in whom I take refuge,who subdues my people under me.

9I will sing a new song to you, God.On a ten-stringed lyre, I will sing praises to you.10You are he who gives salvation to kings,who rescues David, his servant, from the deadly sword.

GospelLuke 20:27-40

From the Gospel according to Luke

27Some of the Sadducees came to him,those who deny that there is a resurrection.28They asked him, “Teacher,Moses wrote to usthat if a man’s brother dies having a wife,and he is childless,his brother should take the wifeand raise up children for his brother.29There were therefore seven brothers.The first took a wife, and died childless.30The second took her as wife, and he died childless.31The third took her,and likewise the seven all left no children, and died.32Afterward the woman also died.33Therefore in the resurrection whose wife of them will she be?For the seven had her as a wife.”

34Jesus said to them,“The children of this age marry and are given in marriage.35But those who are considered worthy to attain to that ageand the resurrection from the dead neither marry nor are given in marriage.36For they can’t die any more,for they are like the angels and are children of God,being children of the resurrection.37But that the dead are raised,even Moses showed at the bush,when he called the Lord ‘The God of Abraham,the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.’38Now he is not the God of the dead,but of the living,for all are alive to him.”

39Some of the scribes answered, “Teacher, you speak well.”40They didn’t dare to ask him any more questions.

Léctio libri Sapiéntiæ

Eccli 24:14-16

Ab inítio et ante sǽcula creáta sum, et usque ad futúrum sǽculum non désinam, et in habitatióne sancta coram ipso ministrávi. Et sic in Sion firmáta sum, et in civitáte sanctificáta simíliter requiévi, et in Jerúsalem potéstas mea. Et radicávi in pópulo honorificáto, et in parte Dei mei heréditas illíus, et in plenitúdine sanctórum deténtio mea.

Lesson from the book of Ecclesiasticus

Ecclus 24:14-16

Before all ages, in the beginning, He created me, and through all ages I shall not cease to be. In the holy Tent I ministered before Him, and in Sion I fixed my abode. Thus in the chosen city He has given me rest, in Jerusalem is my domain. I have struck root among the glorious people, in the portion of my God, His heritage, and my abode is in the full assembly of Saints.

PrefacePrefatio

de Beata Maria Virgine

Vere dignum et justum est, æquum et salutáre, nos tibi semper et ubíque grátias ágere: Dómine sancte, Pater omnípotens, ætérne Deus: Et te in Presentatióne beátæ Maríæ semper Vírginis collaudáre, benedícere et prædicáre. Quæ et Unigénitum tuum Sancti Spíritus obumbratióne concépit: et, virginitátis glória permanénte, lumen ætérnum mundo effúdit, Jesum 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 jubeas, deprecámur, súpplici confessióne dicéntes:

Blessed Virgin

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: and that we should praise and bless, and proclaim Thee, in the Presentatione of the Blessed Mary, ever-Virgin: Who also conceived Thine only-begotten Son by the overshadowing of the Holy Ghost, and the glory of her virginity still abiding, gave forth to the world the everlasting Light, Jesus Christ our Lord. Through whom the Angels praise Thy Majesty, the Dominations worship it, and 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:
