First Reading2 Kings 11:1-4, 9-18, 20

From the Second Book of Kings

1Now when Athaliah the mother of Ahaziah sawthat her son was dead,she arose and destroyed all the royal offspring.2But Jehosheba, the daughter of King Joram,sister of Ahaziah,took Joash the son of Ahaziah,and stole him away from among the king’s sons who were slain,even him and his nurse,and put them in the bedroom;and they hid him from Athaliah, so that he was not slain.3He was with her hidden in the Lord’s house six yearswhile Athaliah reigned over the land.

4In the seventh year Jehoiada sentand fetched the captains over hundreds of the Carites and of the guard,and brought them to him into the Lord’s house;and he made a covenant with them,and made a covenant with them in the Lord’s house,and showed them the king’s son.

verses 5–8 are not read9The captains over hundreds did according to allthat Jehoiada the priest commanded;and they each took his men,those who were to come in on the Sabbath with thosewho were to go out on the Sabbath,and came to Jehoiada the priest.10The priest delivered to the captains over hundreds the spearsand shields that had been King David’s,which were in the Lord’s house.11The guard stood, every man with his weapons in his hand,from the right side of the house to the left side of the house,along by the altar and the house, around the king.12Then he brought out the king’s son,and put the crown on him,and gave him the covenant;and they made him king and anointed him;and they clapped their hands,and said, “Long live the king!”

13When Athaliah heard the noise of the guard and of the people,she came to the people into the Lord’s house;14and she looked, and behold,the king stood by the pillar,as the tradition was,with the captains and the trumpets by the king;and all the people of the land rejoiced,and blew trumpets.Then Athaliah tore her clothes and cried,“Treason! Treason!”

15Jehoiada the priest commanded the captains of hundredswho were set over the army,and said to them, “Bring her out between the ranks.Kill anyone who follows her with the sword.”For the priest said,“Don’t let her be slain in the Lord’s house.”16So they seized her;and she went by the way of the horses’ entry to the king’s house,and she was slain there.

17Jehoiada made a covenant between the Lordand the king and the people,that they should be the Lord’s people;also between the king and the people.18All the people of the land went to the house of Baal,and broke it down.They broke his altars and his images in pieces thoroughly,and killed Mattan the priest of Baal before the altars.The priest appointed officers over the Lord’s house. verse 19 is not read20So all the people of the land rejoiced,and the city was quiet.They had slain Athaliah with the sword at the king’s house.

Responsorial PsalmPsalm 132:11, 12, 13-14, 17-18

11The Lord has sworn to David in truth.He will not turn from it:“I will set the fruit of your body on your throne.

12If your children will keep my covenant,my testimony that I will teach them,their children also will sit on your throne forever more.”

13For the Lord has chosen Zion.He has desired it for his habitation.14“This is my resting place forever.I will live here, for I have desired it.

17I will make the horn of David to bud there.I have ordained a lamp for my anointed.18I will clothe his enemies with shame,but on himself, his crown will shine.”

GospelMatthew 6:19-23

From the Gospel according to Matthew

19“Don’t lay up treasures for yourselves on the earth,where moth and rust consume,and where thieves break through and steal;20but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven,where neither moth nor rust consume,and where thieves don’t break through and steal;21for where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.

22“The lamp of the body is the eye.If therefore your eye is sound,your whole body will be full of light.23But if your eye is evil,your whole body will be full of darkness.If therefore the light that is in you is darkness,how great is the darkness!

Léctio Jeremíæ Prophétæ

Jer 1:4-10

In diébus illis: Factum est verbum Dómini ad me, dicens: Priúsquam te formárem in útero, novi te: et ántequam exíres de vulva, sanctificári te, et prophétam in géntibus dedi te. Et dixi: A a a, Dómine Deus: ecce, néscio loqui, quia puer ego sum. Et dixit Dóminus ad me: Noli dícere: Puer sum; quóniam ad ómnia, quæ mittam te, ibis: et univérsa, quæcúmque mandávero tibi, lóqueris. Ne tímeas a fácie eórum: quia tecum ego sum, ut éruam te, dicit Dóminus. Et misit Dóminus manum suam, et tétigit os meum: et dixit Dóminus ad me: Ecce, dedi verba mea in ore tuo; ecce, constítui te hódie super gentes et super regna, ut evéllas, et déstruas et dispérdas et díssipes et ædífices et plantes: dicit Dóminus omnípotens.

Lesson from the book of Jeremias

Jer 1:4-10

In those days, the word of the Lord came to me thus: Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, before you were born I dedicated you, a prophet to the nations I appointed you. Ah, Lord God! I said, I know not how to speak; I am too young. But the Lord answered me, Say not, ‘I am too young.’ To whomever I send you, you shall go; whatever I command you, you shall speak. Have no fear before them, because I am with you to deliver you, says the Lord. Then the Lord extended His hand and touched my mouth, saying, See, I place My words in your mouth! This day I set you over nations and over kingdoms, to root up and to tear down, to destroy and to demolish, to build and to plant, says the Lord almighty.

Initium ☩ sancti Evangélii secúndum Lucam

Luc 1:5-17

Fuit in diébus Heródis, regis Judææ, sacérdos quidam nómine Zacharías, de vice Abía, et uxor illíus de filiábus Aaron, et nomen ejus Elísabeth. Erant autem justi ambo ante Deum, incedéntes in ómnibus mandátis et justificatiónibus Dómini sine queréla, et non erat illis fílius, eo quod esset Elísabeth stérilis, et ambo processíssent in diébus suis. Factum est autem, cum sacerdótio fungerétur in órdine vicis suæ ante Deum, secúndum consuetúdinem sacerdótii, sorte éxiit, ut incénsum póneret, ingréssus in templum Dómini: et omnis multitúdo pópuli erat orans foris hora incénsi. Appáruit autem illi Angelus Dómini, stans a dextris altáris incénsi. Et Zacharias turbátus est, videns, et timor írruit super eum. Ait autem ad illum Angelus: Ne tímeas, Zacharía, quóniam exaudíta est deprecátio tua: et uxor tua Elísabeth páriet tibi fílium, et vocábis nomen ejus Joánnem: et erit gáudium tibi et exsultátio, et multi in nativitáte ejus gaudébunt: erit enim magnus coram Dómino: et vinum, et síceram non bibet, et Spíritu Sancto replébitur adhuc ex útero matris suæ: et multos filiórum Israël convértet ad Dóminum, Deum ipsórum: et ipse præcédet ante illum in spíritu et virtúte Elíæ: ut convértat corda patrum in fílios, et incrédulos ad prudéntiam justórum, paráre Dómino plebem perféctam.

Continuation ☩ of the Holy Gospel according to Luke

Luke 1:5-17

In the days of Herod, king of Judea, there was a certain priest named Zachary, of the course of Abia; and his wife was of the daughters of Aaron, and her name was Elizabeth. Both were just before God, walking blamelessly in all the commandments and ordinances of the Lord. But they had no son, for Elizabeth was barren, and they were both advanced in years. Now it came to pass, while he was officiating in the order of his course as priest before God, according to the custom of the priest’s office, that he was chosen by lot to enter the temple of the Lord to burn incense. And the whole multitude of the people were praying outside at the hour of incense. And there appeared to him an angel of the Lord, standing at the right of the altar of incense. And Zachary, seeing him, was troubled, and fear fell upon him. But the angel said to him, Do not be afraid, Zachary, for your petition has been heard, and your wife Elizabeth shall bear you a son and you shall call his name John. And you shall have joy and gladness, and many will rejoice at his birth. For he shall be great before the Lord; he shall drink no wine or strong drink, and shall be filled with the Holy Spirit even from his mother’s womb. And he shall bring back to the Lord their God many of the children of Israel, and he shall himself go before Him in the spirit and power of Elias, to turn the hearts of fathers to their children and the incredulous to the wisdom of the just; to prepare for the Lord a perfect people.

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:
