First ReadingSong of Songs 2:8-14

From the Song of Songs

or Zephaniah 3:14-18a

8The voice of my beloved!Behold, he comes,leaping on the mountains,skipping on the hills.9My beloved is like a roe or a young deer.Behold, he stands behind our wall!He looks in at the windows.He glances through the lattice.10My beloved spoke, and said to me,“Rise up, my love, my beautiful one, and come away.11For behold, the winter is past.The rain is over and gone.12The flowers appear on the earth.The time of the singing has come,and the voice of the turtledove is heard in our land.13The fig tree ripens her green figs.The vines are in blossom.They give out their fragrance.Arise, my love, my beautiful one,and come away.”14My dove in the clefts of the rock,in the hiding places of the mountainside,let me see your face.Let me hear your voice;for your voice is sweet and your face is lovely.

Responsorial PsalmPsalm 33:2-3, 11-12, 20-21

2Give thanks to the Lord with the lyre.Sing praises to him with the harp of ten strings.3Sing to him a new song.Play skillfully with a shout of joy!

11The counsel of the Lord stands fast forever,the thoughts of his heart to all generations.12Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord,the people whom he has chosen for his own inheritance.

20Our soul has waited for the Lord.He is our help and our shield.21For our heart rejoices in him,because we have trusted in his holy name.

GospelLuke 1:39-45

From the Gospel according to Luke

39Mary arose in those daysand went into the hill country with haste,into a city of Judah,40and entered into the house of Zachariasand greeted Elizabeth.41When Elizabeth heard Mary’s greeting,the baby leaped in her womb;and Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit.42She called out with a loud voice and said,“Blessed are you among women,and blessed is the fruit of your womb!43Why am I so favored,that the mother of my Lord should come to me?44For behold, when the voice of your greeting came into my ears,the baby leaped in my womb for joy!45Blessed is she who believed,for there will be a fulfillment of the thingswhich have been spoken to her from the Lord!”

Léctio Epístolæ beáti Pauli Apóstoli ad Ephésios.

Ephes 2:19-22

Fratres: Jam non estis hóspites et ádvenæ: sed estis cives sanctórum et doméstici Dei: superædificáti super fundaméntum Apostolórum et Prophetárum, ipso summo angulári lápide Christo Jesu: in quo omnis ædificátio constrúcta crescit in templum sanctum in Dómino, in quo et vos coædificámini in habitáculum Dei in Spíritu.

Lesson from the letter of St. Paul the Apostle to the Ephesians

Eph 2:19-22

Brethren: You are now no longer strangers and foreigners, but you are citizens with the saints and members of God’s household: you are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets with Christ Jesus Himself as the chief cornerstone. In Him the whole structure is closely fitted together and grows into a temple holy in the Lord, in Him you too are being built together into a dwelling place for God in the Spirit.

GospelEvangelium

Sequéntia ☩ sancti Evangélii secúndum Joánnem.

Joann 20:24-29

In illo témpore: Thomas, unus ex duódecim, qui dícitur Dídymus, non erat cum eis, quando venit Jesus. Dixérunt ergo ei alii discípuli: Vídimus Dóminum. Ille autem dixit eis: Nisi videro in mánibus ejus fixúram clavórum, et mittam dígitum meum in locum clavórum, et mittam manum meam in latus ejus, non credam. Et post dies octo, íterum erant discípuli ejus intus, et Thomas cum eis. Venit Jesus jánuis clausis, et stetit in médio, et dixit: Pax vobis. Deinde dicit Thomæ: Inter dígitum tuum huc, et vide manus meas, et affer manum tuam, et mitte in latus meum: et noli esse incrédulus, sed fidélis. Respóndit Thomas et dixit ei: Dóminus meus et Deus meus. Dixit ei Jesus: Quia vidisti me, Thoma, credidísti: beáti, qui non vidérunt, et credidérunt.

Continuation ☩ of the Holy Gospel according to John

John 20:24-29

At that time, Thomas, one of the Twelve, called the Twin, was not with them when Jesus came. The other disciples therefore said to him, We have seen the Lord. But he said to them, Unless I see in His hands the print of the nails, and put my finger into the place of the nails, and put my hand into His side, I will not believe. And after eight days, His disciples were again inside, and Thomas with them. Jesus came, the doors being closed, and stood in their midst, and said, Peace be to you! Then He said to Thomas, Bring here your finger, and see My hands; and bring here your hand, and put it into My side; and be not unbelieving, but believing. Thomas answered and said to Him, ‘My Lord and my God! Jesus said to him, Because you have seen Me, Thomas, you have believed. Blessed are they who have not seen, and yet have believed.

de Apostolis

Vere dignum et justum est, æquum et salutáre: Te, Dómine, supplíciter exoráre, ut gregem tuum, Pastor ætérne, non déseras: sed per beátos Apóstolos tuos contínua protectióne custódias.

of Apostles

It is truly meet and just, right and for our salvation, to entreat Thee humbly, O Lord, that Thou wouldst not desert Thy flock, O everlasting Shepherd, but, through Thy blessed Apostles, wouldst keep it under Thy constant protection; that it may be governed by those same rulers, whom as vicars of Thy work, Thou didst set over it to be its pastors. 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:
