First ReadingExodus 16:2-4, 12-15

From the Book of Exodus

2The whole congregation of the children of Israel murmured against Mosesand against Aaron in the wilderness;3and the children of Israel said to them,“We wish that we had died by the Lord’s hand in the land of Egypt,when we sat by the meat pots,when we ate our fill of bread,for you have brought us out into this wilderness to kill this whole assembly with hunger.”

4Then the Lord said to Moses,“Behold, I will rain bread from the sky for you,and the people shall go outand gather a day’s portion every day,that I may test them,whether they will walk in my law or not. verses 5–11 are not read12“I have heard the murmurings of the children of Israel.Speak to them, saying,‘At evening you shall eat meat,and in the morning you shall be filled with bread.Then you will know that I am the Lord your God.’”

13In the evening, quail came up and covered the camp;and in the morning the dew lay around the camp.14When the dew that lay had gone,behold, on the surface of the wilderness was a small round thing,small as the frost on the ground.15When the children of Israel saw it,they said to one another, “What is it?”For they didn’t know what it was.Moses said to them,“It is the bread which the Lord has given you to eat.

Responsorial PsalmPsalm 78:3-4, 23-24, 25, 54

3which we have heard and known,and our fathers have told us.4We will not hide them from their children,telling to the generation to come the praises of the Lord,his strength, and his wondrous deeds that he has done.

23Yet he commanded the skies above,and opened the doors of heaven.24He rained down manna on them to eat,and gave them food from the sky.

25Man ate the bread of angels.He sent them food to the full.

54He brought them to the border of his sanctuary,to this mountain, which his right hand had taken.

Second ReadingEphesians 4:17, 20-24

From the Letter of Paul to the Ephesians

17This I say therefore,and testify in the Lord,that you no longer walk as the rest of the Gentiles also walk,in the futility of their mind, verses 18–19 are not read20But you didn’t learn Christ that way,21if indeed you heard him and were taught in him,even as truth is in Jesus:22that you put away,as concerning your former way of life,the old man that grows corrupt after the lusts of deceit,23and that you be renewed in the spirit of your mind,24and put on the new man,who in the likeness of God has been created in righteousnessand holiness of truth.

GospelJohn 6:24-35

From the Gospel according to John

24When the multitude therefore saw that Jesus wasn’t there,nor his disciples,they themselves got into the boatsand came to Capernaum, seeking Jesus.25When they found him on the other side of the sea,they asked him, “Rabbi,when did you come here?”

26Jesus answered them,“Most certainly I tell you,you seek me, not because you saw signs,but because you ate of the loaves and were filled.27Don’t work for the food which perishes,but for the food which remains to eternal life,which the Son of Man will give to you.For God the Father has sealed him.”

28They said therefore to him,“What must we do, that we may work the works of God?”

29Jesus answered them,“This is the work of God,that you believe in him whom he has sent.”

30They said therefore to him,“What then do you do for a sign,that we may see and believe you?What work do you do?31Our fathers ate the manna in the wilderness.As it is written, ‘He gave them bread out of heaven to eat.’”

32Jesus therefore said to them,“Most certainly, I tell you,it wasn’t Moses who gave you the bread out of heaven,but my Father gives you the true bread out of heaven.33For the bread of God is thatwhich comes down out of heavenand gives life to the world.”

34They said therefore to him,“Lord, always give us this bread.”

35Jesus said to them, “I am the bread of life.Whoever comes to me will not be hungry,and whoever believes in me will never be thirsty.

EpistleLectio

Léctio Epístolæ beáti Pauli Apóstoli ad Corínthios

2 Cor 3:4-9

Fratres: Fidúciam talem habémus per Christum ad Deum: non quod sufficiéntes simus cogitáre áliquid a nobis, quasi ex nobis: sed sufficiéntia nostra ex Deo est: qui et idóneos nos fecit minístros novi testaménti: non líttera, sed spíritu: líttera enim occídit, spíritus autem vivíficat. Quod si ministrátio mortis, lítteris deformáta in lapídibus, fuit in glória; ita ut non possent inténdere fili Israël in fáciem Moysi, propter glóriam vultus ejus, quæ evacuátur: quómodo non magis ministrátio Spíritus erit in glória? Nam si ministrátio damnatiónis glória est multo magis abúndat ministérium justítiæ in glória.

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

2 Cor. 3:4-9

Brethren: Such is the assurance I have through Christ toward God. Not that we are sufficient of ourselves to think anything, as from ourselves, but our sufficiency is from God. He also it is Who has made us fit ministers of the new covenant, not of the letter but of the spirit; for the letter kills, but the spirit gives life. Now if the ministration of death, which was engraved in letters upon stones, was inaugurated in such glory that the children of Israel could not look steadfastly upon the face of Moses on account of the transient glory that shone upon it, shall not the ministration of the spirit be still more glorious? For if there is glory in the ministration that condemned, much more does the ministration that justifies abound in glory.

Sequéntia ☩ sancti Evangélii secúndum Lucam

Luc 10:23-37

In illo témpore: Dixit Jesus discípulis suis: Beáti óculi, qui vident quæ vos videtis. Dico enim vobis, quod multi prophétæ et reges voluérunt vidére quæ vos videtis, et non vidérunt: et audire quæ audítis, et non audiérunt. Et ecce, quidam legisperítus surréxit, tentans illum, et dicens: Magister, quid faciéndo vitam ætérnam possidébo? At ille dixit ad eum: In lege quid scriptum est? quómodo legis? Ille respóndens, dixit: Díliges Dóminum, Deum tuum, ex toto corde tuo, et ex tota ánima tua, et ex ómnibus víribus tuis; et ex omni mente tua: et próximum tuum sicut teípsum. Dixítque illi: Recte respondísti: hoc fac, et vives. Ille autem volens justificáre seípsum, dixit ad Jesum: Et quis est meus próximus? Suscípiens autem Jesus, dixit: Homo quidam descendébat ab Jerúsalem in Jéricho, et íncidit in latrónes, qui étiam despoliavérunt eum: et plagis impósitis abiérunt, semivívo relícto. Accidit autem, ut sacerdos quidam descénderet eádem via: et viso illo præterívit. Simíliter et levíta, cum esset secus locum et vidéret eum, pertránsiit. Samaritánus autem quidam iter fáciens, venit secus eum: et videns eum, misericórdia motus est. Et apprópians, alligávit vulnera ejus, infúndens óleum et vinum: et impónens illum in juméntum suum, duxit in stábulum, et curam ejus egit. Et áltera die prótulit duos denários et dedit stabulário, et ait: Curam illíus habe: et quodcúmque supererogáveris, ego cum redíero, reddam tibi. Quis horum trium vidétur tibi próximus fuísse illi, qui íncidit in latrónes? At ille dixit: Qui fecit misericórdiam in illum. Et ait illi Jesus: Vade, et tu fac simíliter.

Continuation ☩ of the Holy Gospel according to Luke

Luke 10:23-37

At that time, Jesus said to His disciples: Blessed are the eyes that see what you see! For I say to you, many prophets and kings have desired to see what you see, and they have not seen it; and to hear what you hear, and they have not heard it. And behold, a certain lawyer got up to test Him, saying, Master, what must I do to gain eternal life? But He said to him, What is written in the Law? How do you read? He answered and said, You shall love the Lord your God with your whole heart, and with your whole soul, and with your whole strength, and with your whole mind; and your neighbor as yourself. And He said to him, You have answered rightly; do this and you shall live. But he, wishing to justify himself, said to Jesus, And who is my neighbor? Jesus answered and said, A certain man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and he fell in with robbers, who after both stripping him and beating him went their way, leaving him half-dead. But, as it happened, a certain priest was going down the same way; and when he saw him, he passed by. And likewise a Levite also, when he was near the place and saw him, passed by. But a certain Samaritan as he journeyed came upon him, and seeing him, was moved with compassion. And he went up to him and bound up his wounds, pouring on oil and wine. And setting him on his own beast, he brought him to an inn and took care of him. And the next day he took out two denarii and gave them to the innkeeper and said, ‘Take care of him; and whatever more you spend, I, on my way back, will repay you.’ Which of these three, in your opinion, proved himself neighbor to him who fell among the robbers? And he said, He who took pity on him. And Jesus said to him, Go and do also in like manner.

Exod 32:11 32:13; 32:14

Precátus est Moyses in conspéctu Dómini, Dei sui, et dixit: Quare, Dómine, irásceris in pópulo tuo? Parce iræ ánimæ tuæ: meménto Abraham, Isaac et Jacob, quibus jurásti dare terram fluéntem lac et mel. Et placátus factus est Dóminus de malignitáte, quam dixit fácere pópulo suo.

Ex 32:11, 13-14.

Moses prayed in the sight of the Lord his God and said, Why, O Lord, is Your indignation enkindled against Your people? Let the anger of Your mind cease; remember Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, to whom You swore to give a land flowing with milk and honey. And the Lord was appeased from doing the evil which He had spoken of doing against His people.

PrefacePrefatio

de sanctissima Trinitate

Vere dignum et justum est, æquum et salutáre, nos tibi semper et ubíque grátias ágere: Dómine sancte, Pater omnípotens, ætérne Deus: Qui cum unigénito Fílio tuo et Spíritu Sancto unus es Deus, unus es Dóminus: non in uníus singularitáte persónæ, sed in uníus Trinitáte substántiæ. Quod enim de tua glória, revelánte te, crédimus, hoc de Fílio tuo, hoc de Spíritu Sancto sine differéntia discretiónis sentímus. Ut in confessióne veræ sempiternǽque Deitátis, et in persónis propríetas, et in esséntia únitas, et in majestáte adorétur æquálitas. Quam laudant Angeli atque Archángeli, Chérubim quoque ac Séraphim: qui non cessant clamáre cotídie, una voce dicéntes:

Holy Trinity

It is truly meet and just, right and for our salvation, that we should at all times, and in all places, give thanks unto Thee, O holy Lord, Father almighty, everlasting God; Who, together with Thine only-begotten Son, and the Holy Ghost, art one God, one Lord: not in the oneness of a single Person, but in the Trinity of one substance. For what we believe by Thy revelation of Thy glory, the same do we believe of Thy Son, the same of the Holy Ghost, without difference or separation. So that in confessing the true and everlasting Godhead, distinction in persons, unity in essence, and equality in majesty may be adored. Which the Angels and Archangels, the Cherubim also and Seraphim do praise: who cease not daily to cry out, with one voice saying:

Ps 103:13; 103:14-15

De fructu óperum tuórum, Dómine, satiábitur terra: ut edúcas panem de terra, et vinum lætíficet cor hóminis: ut exhílaret fáciem in óleo, et panis cor hóminis confírmet.

Ps 103:13-15

The earth is replete with the fruit of Your works, O Lord; You produce bread from the earth, and wine to gladden men’s hearts, so that their faces gleam with oil, and bread fortifies the hearts of men.
