First Reading1 Samuel 24:3-21

From the First Book of Samuel

3Then Saul took three thousand chosen men out of all Israel,and went to seek Davidand his men on the rocks of the wild goats.4He came to the sheep pens by the way,where there was a cave;and Saul went in to relieve himself.Now David and his men were staying in the innermost parts of the cave.5David’s men said to him,“Behold, the day of which the Lord said to you,‘Behold, I will deliver your enemy into your hand,and you shall do to him as it shall seem good to you.’”Then David aroseand cut off the skirt of Saul’s robe secretly.6Afterward, David’s heart struck himbecause he had cut off Saul’s skirt.7He said to his men,“The Lord forbid that I should do this thing to my lord,the Lord’s anointed,to stretch out my hand against him,since he is the Lord’s anointed.”8So David checked his men with these words,and didn’t allow them to rise against Saul.Saul rose up out of the cave, and went on his way.9David also arose afterward,and went out of the cave and cried after Saul,saying, “My lord the king!”

When Saul looked behind him,David bowed with his face to the earth,and showed respect.10David said to Saul,“Why do you listen to men’s words,saying, ‘Behold, David seeks to harm you’?11Behold, today your eyes have seen how the Lord had delivered you today into my hand in the cave.Some urged me to kill you, but I spared you.I said, ‘I will not stretch out my hand against my lord,for he is the Lord’s anointed.’12Moreover, my father,behold, yes, see the skirt of your robe in my hand;for in that I cut off the skirt of your robeand didn’t kill you,know and seethat there is neither evil nor disobedience in my hand.I have not sinned against you,though you hunt for my life to take it.13May the Lord judge between me and you,and may the Lord avenge me of you;but my hand will not be on you.14As the proverb of the ancients says,‘Out of the wicked comes wickedness;’but my hand will not be on you.15Against whom has the king of Israel come out?Whom do you pursue?A dead dog? A flea?16May the Lord therefore be judge,and give sentence between me and you,and see, and plead my cause,and deliver me out of your hand.”

17It came to pass,when David had finished speaking these words to Saul,that Saul said, “Is that your voice, my son David?”Saul lifted up his voice and wept.18He said to David, “You are more righteous than I;for you have done good to me,whereas I have done evil to you.19You have declared today how you have dealt well with me,because when the Lord had delivered me up into your hand,you didn’t kill me.20For if a man finds his enemy,will he let him go away unharmed?Therefore may the Lord reward you good forthat which you have done to me today.21Now, behold, I know that you will surely be king,and that the kingdom of Israel will be established in your hand.

Responsorial PsalmPsalm 57:2, 3-4, 6 and 11

2Be merciful to me, God, be merciful to me,for my soul takes refuge in you.Yes, in the shadow of your wings, I will take refuge,until disaster has passed.

3I cry out to God Most High,to God who accomplishes my requests for me.4He will send from heaven, and save me,he rebukes the one who is pursuing me.God will send out his loving kindness and his truth.

6Be exalted, God, above the heavens!Let your glory be above all the earth!11For your great loving kindness reaches to the heavens,and your truth to the skies.

GospelMark 3:13-19

From the Gospel according to Mark

13He went up into the mountainand called to himself those whom he wanted,and they went to him.14He appointed twelve,that they might be with him,and that he might send them out to preach15and to have authority to heal sicknessesand to cast out demons:16Simon (to whom he gave the name Peter);17James the son of Zebedee;and John, the brother of James,(whom he called Boanerges,which means, Sons of Thunder);18Andrew; Philip;Bartholomew;Matthew; Thomas;James, the son of Alphaeus;Thaddaeus; Simon the Zealot;19and Judas Iscariot, who also betrayed him.

Then he came into a house.

EpistleLectio

Léctio libri Sapiéntiæ

Eccli 31:8-11

Beátus vir, qui invéntus est sine mácula, et qui post aurum non ábiit, nec sperávit in pecúnia et thesáuris. Quis est hic, et laudábimus eum? fecit enim mirabília in vita sua. Qui probátus est in illo, et perféctus est, erit illi glória ætérna: qui potuit tránsgredi, et non est transgréssus: fácere mala, et non fecit: ídeo stabilíta sunt bona illíus in Dómino, et eleemósynas illíus enarrábit omnis ecclésia sanctórum.

Lesson from the book of Ecclesiasticus

Sir 31:8-11

Happy the man found without fault, who turns not aside after gain, nor puts his trust in money nor in treasures! Who is he, that we may praise him? For he has done wonders in his life. He has been tested by gold and come off safe, and this remains his glory forever; he could have sinned but did not, could have done evil but would not, so that his possessions are secure in the Lord, and the assembly of the Saints shall recount his alms.

GospelEvangelium

Sequéntia ☩ sancti Evangélii secúndum Lucam

Luc 12:35-40

In illo témpore: Dixit Jesus discípulis suis: Sint lumbi vestri præcíncti, et lucernæ ardéntes in mánibus vestris, et vos símiles homínibus exspectántibus dóminum suum, quando revertátur a núptiis: ut, cum vénerit et pulsáverit, conféstim apériant ei. ¶ Beáti servi illi, quos, cum vénerit dóminus, invénerit vigilántes: amen, dico vobis, quod præcínget se, et fáciet illos discúmbere, et tránsiens ministrábit illis. Et si vénerit in secúnda vigília, et si in tértia vigília vénerit, et ita invénerit, beáti sunt servi illi. Hoc autem scitóte, quóniam, si sciret paterfamílias, qua hora fur veníret, vigiláret útique, et non síneret pérfodi domum suam. Et vos estóte paráti, quia, qua hora non putátis, Fílius hóminis véniet.

Continuation ☩ of the Holy Gospel according to Luke

Luke 12:35-40

At that time, Jesus said to His disciples, Let your loins be girt about and your lamps burning, and you yourselves like men waiting for their master’s return from the wedding; so that when he comes and knocks, they may straight-way open to him. Blessed are those servants whom the master, on his return, shall find watching. Amen I say to you, he will gird himself, and will make them recline at table, and will come and serve them. And if he comes in the second watch, and if in the third, and finds them so, blessed are those servants! But of this be assured, that if the householder had known at what hour the thief was coming, he would certainly have watched, and not have let his house be broken into. You also must be ready, because at an hour that you do not expect, the Son of Man is coming.

And do Thou command that it be permitted us to join with them in confessing Thee, while we say with lowly praise:
