First Reading1 Kings 10:1-10

From the First Book of Kings

1When the queen of Sheba heard of the fame of Solomon concerning the Lord’s name,she came to test him with hard questions.2She came to Jerusalem with a very great caravan,with camels that bore spices,very much gold, and precious stones;and when she had come to Solomon,she talked with him about all that was in her heart.3Solomon answered all her questions.There wasn’t anything hidden from the kingwhich he didn’t tell her.4When the queen of Sheba had seen all the wisdom of Solomon,the house that he had built,5the food of his table,the sitting of his servants,the attendance of his officials,their clothing, his cup bearers,and his ascent by which he went up to the Lord’s house,there was no more spirit in her.6She said to the king,“It was a true reportthat I heard in my own land of your acts and of your wisdom.7However, I didn’t believe the words until I cameand my eyes had seen it.Behold, not even half was told me!Your wisdom and prosperity exceed the fame which I heard.8Happy are your men,happy are these your servantswho stand continually before you,who hear your wisdom.9Blessed is the Lord your God,who delighted in you,to set you on the throne of Israel.Because the Lord loved Israel forever,therefore he made you king,to do justice and righteousness.”10She gave the king one hundred twenty talents of gold,and a very great quantity of spices,and precious stones.Never again was there such an abundance of spices as thesewhich the queen of Sheba gave to King Solomon.

Responsorial PsalmPsalm 37:5-6, 30-31, 39-40

5Commit your way to the Lord.Trust also in him, and he will do this:6he will make your righteousness shine out like light,and your justice as the noon day sun.

30The mouth of the righteous talks of wisdom.His tongue speaks justice.31The law of his God is in his heart.None of his steps shall slide.

39But the salvation of the righteous is from the Lord.He is their stronghold in the time of trouble.40The Lord helps them and rescues them.He rescues them from the wicked and saves them,because they have taken refuge in him.

GospelMark 7:14-23

From the Gospel according to Mark

14He called all the multitude to himself and said to them,“Hear me, all of you, and understand.15There is nothing from outside of the manthat going into him can defile him;but the things which proceed out of the man are thosethat defile the man.

17When he had entered into a house away from the multitude,his disciples asked him about the parable.18He said to them, “Are you also without understanding?Don’t you perceivethat whatever goes into the man from outside can’t defile him,19because it doesn’t go into his heart,but into his stomach,then into the latrine,making all foods clean?”20He said, “That which proceeds out of the man,that defiles the man.21For from within, out of the hearts of men,proceed evil thoughts,adulteries, sexual sins, murders, thefts,22covetings, wickedness,deceit, lustful desires,an evil eye, blasphemy,pride, and foolishness.23All these evil things come from withinand defile the man.”

EpistleLectio

Léctio Epístolæ beáti Pauli Apóstoli ad Timótheum

2 Tim 4:1-8

Caríssime: Testíficor coram Deo, et Jesu Christo, qui judicatúrus est vivos et mórtuos, per advéntum ipsíus et regnum ejus: prǽdica verbum, insta opportúne, importune: árgue, óbsecra, íncrepa in omni patiéntia, et doctrína. Erit enim tempus, cum sanam doctrínam non sustinébunt, sed ad sua desidéria, coacervábunt sibi magistros, pruriéntes áuribus, et a veritáte quidem audítum avértent, ad fábulas autem converténtur. Tu vero vígila, in ómnibus labóra, opus fac Evangelístæ, ministérium tuum imple. Sóbrius esto. Ego enim jam delíbor, et tempus resolutiónis meæ instat. Bonum certámen certávi, cursum consummávi, fidem servávi. In réliquo repósita est mihi coróna justítiæ, quam reddet mihi Dóminus in illa die, justus judex: non solum autem mihi, sed et iis, qui díligunt advéntum ejus.

Lesson from the second letter of St Paul the Apostle to Timothy

2 Tim 4:1-8

Dearly beloved: I charge thee, before God and Jesus Christ, who shall judge the living and the dead, by his coming, and his kingdom: Preach the word: be instant in season, out of season: reprove, entreat, rebuke in all patience and doctrine. For there shall be a time, when they will not endure sound doctrine; but, according to their own desires, they will heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears: And will indeed turn away their hearing from the truth, but will be turned unto fables. But be thou vigilant, labour in all things, do the work of an evangelist, fulfil thy ministry. Be sober. For I am even now ready to be sacrificed: and the time of my dissolution is at hand. I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith. As to the rest, there is laid up for me a crown of justice, which the Lord the just judge will render to me in that day: and not only to me, but to them also that love his coming.

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.

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:
