First ReadingGenesis 49:29-32; 50:15-26a

From the Book of Genesis

29He instructed them,and said to them, “I am to be gathered to my people.Bury me with my fathers in the cavethat is in the field of Ephron the Hittite,30in the cave that is in the field of Machpelah,which is before Mamre,in the land of Canaan,which Abraham bought with the field from Ephron the Hittite as a burial place.31There they buried Abraham and Sarah, his wife.There they buried Isaac and Rebekah,his wife, and there I buried Leah:32the field and the cave that is therein,which was purchased from the children of Heth.”

some verses are not read15When Joseph’s brothers saw that their father was dead,they said, “It may be that Joseph will hate us,and will fully pay us back for all the evilwhich we did to him.”16They sent a message to Joseph,saying, “Your father commanded before he died, saying,17‘You shall tell Joseph,“Now please forgive the disobedience of your brothers,and their sin, because they did evil to you.”’Now, please forgive the disobedience of the servants of the God of your father.”Joseph wept when they spoke to him.18His brothers also went and fell down before his face;and they said, “Behold, we are your servants.”19Joseph said to them,“Don’t be afraid, for am I in the place of God?20As for you, you meant evil against me,but God meant it for good,to save many people alive,as is happening today.21Now therefore don’t be afraid.I will provide for you and your little ones.”He comforted them, and spoke kindly to them.

22Joseph lived in Egypt, he, and his father’s house.Joseph lived one hundred ten years.23Joseph saw Ephraim’s children to the third generation.The children also of Machir,the son of Manasseh,were born on Joseph’s knees.24Joseph said to his brothers,“I am dying, but God will surely visit you,and bring you up out of this land to the landwhich he swore to Abraham,to Isaac, and to Jacob.”25Joseph took an oath from the children of Israel,saying, “God will surely visit you,and you shall carry up my bones from here.”26So Joseph died, being one hundred ten years old,and they embalmed him,and he was put in a coffin in Egypt.

Responsorial PsalmPsalm 105:1-2, 3-4, 6-7

1Give thanks to the Lord! Call on his name!Make his doings known among the peoples.2Sing to him, sing praises to him!Tell of all his marvelous works.

3Glory in his holy name.Let the heart of those who seek the Lord rejoice.4Seek the Lord and his strength.Seek his face forever more.

6you offspring of Abraham, his servant,you children of Jacob, his chosen ones.7He is the Lord, our God.His judgments are in all the earth.

GospelMatthew 10:24-33

From the Gospel according to Matthew

24“A disciple is not above his teacher,nor a servant above his lord.25It is enough for the disciple that he be like his teacher,and the servant like his lord.If they have called the master of the house Beelzebul,how much more those of his household!26Therefore don’t be afraid of them,for there is nothing covered that will not be revealed,or hidden that will not be known.27What I tell you in the darkness, speak in the light;and what you hear whispered in the ear,proclaim on the housetops.28Don’t be afraid of those who kill the body,but are not able to kill the soul.Rather, fear him who is able to destroy both souland body in Gehenna.

29“Aren’t two sparrows sold for an assarion coin?Not one of them falls to the ground apart from your Father’s will.30But the very hairs of your head are all numbered.31Therefore don’t be afraid.You are of more value than many sparrows.32Everyone therefore who confesses me before men,I will also confess him before my Father who is in heaven.33But whoever denies me before men,I will also deny him before my Father who is in heaven.

EpistleLectio

Léctio libri Sapiéntiæ

Eccli 45:1-6

Diléctus Deo et homínibus, cujus memória in benedictióne est. Símilem illum fecit in glória sanctórum, et magnificávit eum in timóre inimicórum, et in verbis suis monstra placávit. Glorificávit illum in conspéctu regum, et jussit illi coram pópulo suo, et osténdit illi glóriam suam. In fide et lenitáte ipsíus sanctum fecit illum, et elégit eum ex omni carne. Audívit enim eum et vocem ipsíus, et indúxit illum in nubem. Et dedit illi coram præcépta, et legem vitæ et disciplínæ.

Lesson from the book of Ecclesiasticus

Ecclus 45:1-6

Beloved of God and men, whose memory is held in benediction. He made him like the Saints in glory, and magnified him in the fear of his enemies, and with his words He made prodigies to cease. He glorified him in the sight of kings, and gave him Commandments in the sight of his people, and revealed to him His glory. He sanctified him in his faith and meekness, and chose him out of all flesh. For He heard him and his voice, and brought him into a cloud. And, face to face, He gave him the Commandments, the law of life and understanding.

GospelEvangelium

Sequéntia ☩ sancti Evangélii secúndum Matthǽum

Matt 5:43-48

In illo témpore: Dixit Jesus discípulis suis: Audístis, quia dictum est: Diliges próximum tuum, et ódio habébis inimícum tuum. Ego autem dico vobis: Dilígite inimícos vestros, ¶ benefácite his, qui odérunt vos, et oráte pro persequéntibus et calumniántibus vos, ut sitis fílii Patris vestri, qui in cœlis est: qui solem suum oriri facit super bonos et malos, et pluit super justos et injústos. Si enim dilígitis eos, qui vos díligunt, quam mercédem habébitis? nonne et publicáni hoc fáciunt? Et si salutavéritis fratres vestros tantum, quid ámplius fácitis? nonne et éthnici hoc fáciunt? Estóte ergo vos perfécti, sicut et Pater vester cœléstis perféctus est.

Continuation ☩ of the Holy Gospel according to Matthew

Matt 5:43-48

At that time, Jesus said to His disciples, You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall love your neighbor, and shall hate your enemy.’ But I say to you, love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who persecute and calumniate you, so that you may be children of your Father in heaven, Who makes His sun to rise on the good and the evil, and sends rain on the just and the unjust. For if you love those that love you, what reward shall you have? Do not even the publicans do that? And if you salute your brethren only, what are you doing more than others? Do not even the Gentiles do that? You therefore are to be perfect, even as your heavenly Father is perfect.

You have granted him his heart’s desire, O Lord; You refused not the wish of his lips. You placed on his head a crown of pure gold.

Vere dignum et justum est, æquum et salutáre, nos tibi semper et ubíque grátias ágere: Dómine sancte, Pater omnípotens, ætérne Deus: per Christum, Dóminum nostrum.

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:
