First Reading1 Kings 8:22-23, 27-30

From the First Book of Kings

22Solomon stood before the Lord’s altar in the presence of all the assembly of Israel,and spread out his hands toward heaven;23and he said, “Lord,the God of Israel,there is no God like you,in heaven above, or on earth beneath;who keeps covenant and loving kindness with your servantswho walk before you with all their heart; verses 24–26 are not read27But will God in very deed dwell on the earth?Behold, heavenand the heaven of heavens can’t contain you;how much less this house that I have built!28Yet have respect for the prayer of your servantand for his supplication,Lord my God, to listen to the cry and to the prayerwhich your servant prays before you today;29that your eyes may be open toward this house night and day,even toward the place of which you have said,‘My name shall be there;’to listen to the prayerwhich your servant prays toward this place.30Listen to the supplication of your servant,and of your people Israel,when they pray toward this place.Yes, hear in heaven, your dwelling place;and when you hear, forgive.

Responsorial PsalmPsalm 84:3, 4, 5, 10, 11

3My soul longs, and even faints for the courts of the Lord.My heart and my flesh cry out for the living God.

4Yes, the sparrow has found a home,and the swallow a nest for herself, where she may have her young,near your altars, Lord of Armies, my King, and my God.

5Blessed are those who dwell in your house.They are always praising you.

10Behold, God our shield,look at the face of your anointed.

11For a day in your courts is better than a thousand.I would rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God,than to dwell in the tents of wickedness.

GospelMark 7:1-13

From the Gospel according to Mark

1Then the Phariseesand some of the scribes gathered together to him,having come from Jerusalem.2Now when they saw some of his disciples eating bread with defiled,that is unwashed, hands, they found fault.3(For the Phariseesand all the Jews don’t eat unless they wash their hands and forearms,holding to the tradition of the elders.4They don’t eatwhen they come from the marketplace unless they bathe themselves,and there are many other thingswhich they have received to hold to:washings of cups, pitchers, bronze vessels, and couches.)5The Pharisees and the scribes asked him,“Why don’t your disciples walk according to the tradition of the elders,but eat their bread with unwashed hands?”

6He answered them, “Well did Isaiah prophesy of you hypocrites, as it is written,

‘This people honors me with their lips,but their heart is far from me.7They worship me in vain,teaching as doctrines the commandments of men.’

8“For you set aside the commandment of God,and hold tightly to the tradition of men—the washing of pitchers and cups,and you do many other such things.”9He said to them, “Full well do you reject the commandment of God,that you may keep your tradition.10For Moses said, ‘Honor your father and your mother;’and, ‘He who speaks evil of father or mother,let him be put to death.’11But you say, ‘If a man tells his father or his mother,“Whatever profit you might have received from me is Corban,”’”that is to say, given to God,12“then you no longer allow him to do anything for his father or his mother,13making void the word of God by your traditionwhich you have handed down.You do many things like this.”

Deus, qui ánimam beátæ Vírginis tuæ Scholásticæ ad ostendéndam innocéntiæ viam in colúmbæ spécie cœlum penetráre fecísti: da nobis ejus méritis et précibus ita innocénter vívere; ut ad ætérna mereámur gáudia perveníre.

EpistleLectio

Léctio Epístolæ beáti Pauli Apóstoli ad Corínthios

2 Cor 10:17-18; 11:1-2

Fratres: Qui gloriátur, in Dómino gloriétur. Non enim, qui seípsum comméndat, ille probátus est; sed quem Deus comméndat. Utinam sustinerétis módicum quid insipiéntiæ meæ, sed et supportáte me: æmulor enim vos Dei æmulatióne. Despóndi enim vos uni viro vírginem castam exhibére Christo.

Lesson from the second letter of St. Paul the Apostle to the Corinthians

2 Cor 10:17-18; 11:1-2

Brothers: He that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord. For not he who commendeth himself, is approved, but he, whom God commendeth. Would to God you could bear with some little of my folly: but do bear with me. For I am jealous of you with the jealousy of God. For I have espoused you to one husband that I may present you as a chaste virgin to Christ.

GospelEvangelium

Sequéntia ☩ sancti Evangélii secúndum Matthǽum

Matt 25:1-13

In illo témpore: Dixit Jesus discípulis suis parábolam hanc: Símile erit regnum coelórum decem virgínibus: quæ, accipiéntes lámpades suas, exiérunt óbviam sponso et sponsæ. Quinque autem ex eis erant fátuæ, et quinque prudéntes: ¶ sed quinque fátuæ, accéptis lampádibus, non sumpsérunt óleum secum: prudéntes vero accepérunt óleum in vasis suis cum lampádibus. Moram autem faciénte sponso, dormitavérunt omnes et dormiérunt. Média autem nocte clamor factus est: Ecce, sponsus venit, exíte óbviam ei. Tunc surrexérunt omnes vírgines íllæ, et ornavérunt lámpades suas. Fátuæ autem sapiéntibus dixérunt: Date nobis de óleo vestro: quia lámpades nostræ exstinguúntur. Respondérunt prudéntes, dicéntes: Ne forte non suffíciat nobis et vobis, ite pótius ad vendéntes, et émite vobis. Dum autem irent émere, venit sponsus: et quæ parátæ erant, intravérunt cum eo ad núptias, et clausa est jánua. Novíssime vero véniunt et réliquæ vírgines, dicéntes: Dómine, Dómine, áperi nobis. At ille respóndens, ait: Amen, dico vobis, néscio vos. Vigiláte ítaque, quia nescítis diem neque horam.

Continuation ☩ of the Holy Gospel according to Matthew

Matt 25:1-13.

At that time Jesus spoke this parable to His disciples: “Then will the kingdom of heaven be like ten virgins who took their lamps and went forth to meet the bridegroom and the bride. Five of them were foolish and five wise. But the five foolish, when they took their lamps, took no oil with them, while the wise did take oil in their vessels with the lamps. Then as the bridegroom was long in coming, they all became drowsy and slept. And at midnight a cry arose, 'Behold, the bridegroom is coming, go forth to meet him!' Then all those virgins arose and trimmed their lamps. And the foolish said to the wise, 'Give us some of your oil, for our lamps are going out.' The wise answered, saying, 'Lest there may not be enough for us and for you, go rather to those who sell it, and buy some for yourselves.' Now while they were gone to buy it, the bridegroom came; and those who were ready went in with him to the marriage feast, and the door was shut. Finally there came also the other virgins, who said, 'Sir, sir, open the door for us!' But he answered and said, 'Amen I say to you, I do not know you.' Watch therefore, for you know neither the day nor the hour.”

Common

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:
