First ReadingIsaiah 26:7-9, 12, 16-19

From the Book of Isaiah

7The way of the just is uprightness.You who are upright make the path of the righteous level.8Yes, in the way of your judgments, Lord, we have waited for you.Your name and your renown are the desire of our soul.9With my soul I have desired you in the night.Yes, with my spirit within me I will seek you earnestly;for when your judgments are on the earth, the inhabitants of the world learn righteousness. verses 10–11 are not read12Lord, you will ordain peace for us,for you have also done all our work for us. verses 13–15 are not read16Lord, in trouble they have visited you.They poured out a prayer when your chastening was on them.17Just as a woman with child, who draws near the time of her delivery,is in pain and cries out in her pangs,so we have been before you, Lord.18We have been with child.We have been in pain.We gave birth, it seems, only to wind.We have not worked any deliverance on the earth;neither have the inhabitants of the world fallen.19Your dead shall live.Their dead bodies shall arise.Awake and sing, you who dwell in the dust;for your dew is like the dew of herbs,and the earth will cast out the departed spirits.

Responsorial PsalmPsalm 102:13-14ab and 15, 16-18, 19-21

13But you, Lord, will remain forever;your renown endures to all generations.14You will arise and have mercy on Zion,for it is time to have pity on her.Yes, the set time has come.15For your servants take pleasure in her stones,and have pity on her dust.

16So the nations will fear the Lord’s name,all the kings of the earth your glory.17For the Lord has built up Zion.He has appeared in his glory.18He has responded to the prayer of the destitute,and has not despised their prayer.

19This will be written for the generation to come.A people which will be created will praise the Lord,20for he has looked down from the height of his sanctuary.From heaven, the Lord saw the earth,21to hear the groans of the prisoner,to free those who are condemned to death,

GospelMatthew 11:28-30

From the Gospel according to Matthew

28“Come to me, all you who labor and are heavily burdened,and I will give you rest.29Take my yoke upon you and learn from me,for I am gentle and humble in heart;and you will find rest for your souls.30For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.”

EpistleLectio

Léctio Epístolæ beáti Pauli Apóstoli ad Romános

Rom 6:19-23

Fratres: Humánum dico, propter infirmitátem carnis vestræ: sicut enim exhibuístis membra vestra servíre immundítiæ et iniquitáti ad iniquitátem, ita nunc exhibéte membra vestra servíre justítiæ in sanctificatiónem. Cum enim servi essétis peccáti, líberi fuístis justítiæ. Quem ergo fructum habuístis tunc in illis, in quibus nunc erubéscitis? Nam finis illórum mors est. Nunc vero liberáti a peccáto, servi autem facti Deo, habétis fructum vestrum in sanctificatiónem, finem vero vitam ætérnam. Stipéndia enim peccáti mors. Grátia autem Dei vita ætérna, in Christo Jesu, Dómino nostro.

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

Rom 6:19-23

Brethren: I speak in a human way because of the weakness of your flesh; for as you yielded your members as slaves of uncleanness and iniquity unto iniquity, so now yield your members as slaves of justice unto sanctification. For when you were slaves of sin, you were free as regards justice. But what fruit had you then from those things of which you are now ashamed? For the end of these things is death. But now set free from sin and become slaves to God, you have your fruit unto sanctification, and as your end, life everlasting. For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is life everlasting in Christ Jesus our Lord.

GospelEvangelium

Sequéntia ☩ sancti Evangélii secúndum Matthǽum

Matt 7:15-21

In illo témpore: Dixit Jesus discípulis suis: Atténdite a falsis prophétis, qui véniunt ad vos in vestiméntis óvium, intrínsecus autem sunt lupi rapáces: a frúctibus eórum cognoscétis eos. Numquid cólligunt de spinis uvas, aut de tríbulis ficus? Sic omnis arbor bona fructus bonos facit: mala autem arbor malos fructus facit. Non potest arbor bona malos fructus fácere: neque arbor mala bonos fructus fácere. Omnis arbor, quæ non facit fructum bonum, excidétur et in ignem mittétur. Igitur ex frúctibus eórum cognoscétis eos. Non omnis, qui dicit mihi, Dómine, Dómine, intrábit in regnum cœlórum: sed qui facit voluntátem Patris mei, qui in cœlis est, ipse intrábit in regnum cœlórum.

Continuation ☩ of the Holy Gospel according to Matthew

Matt 7:15-21

At that time, Jesus said to His disciples: Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly are ravenous wolves. By their fruits you will know them. Do men gather grapes from thorns, or figs from thistles? Even so, every good tree bears good fruit, but the bad tree bears bad fruit. A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, nor can a bad tree bear good fruit. Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. Therefore, by their fruits you will know them. Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ shall enter the kingdom of heaven; but he who does the will of My Father in heaven shall enter the kingdom of heaven.

Dan 3:40

Sicut in holocáustis aríetum et taurórum, et sicut in mílibus agnórum pínguium: sic fiat sacrifícium nostrum in conspéctu tuo hódie, ut pláceat tibi: quia non est confúsio confidéntibus in te, Dómine.

Dan 3:40

As though it were holocausts of rams and bullocks, or thousands of fat lambs, so let our sacrifice be in Your presence today, that it may please You; for those who trust in You cannot be put to shame, O Lord.

Per Dominum…

O God, You Who have given us in one perfect sacrifice the fulfillment of the various sacrifices made under the Old Law, accept these sacrificial gifts offered You by Your devoted servants, and make them holy as You did the gifts of Abel, so that what each one of us has offered in praise of Your majesty may profit for the salvation of all.

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. Per quem majestátem tuam laudant Angeli, adórant Dominatiónes, tremunt Potestátes. Cæli cælorúmque Virtútes ac beáta Séraphim sócia exsultatióne concélebrant.

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:
