First ReadingGenesis 37:3-4, 12-13a, 17b-28a

From the Book of Genesis

3Now Israel loved Joseph more than all his children,because he was the son of his old age,and he made him a tunic of many colors.4His brothers sawthat their father loved him more than all his brothers,and they hated him,and couldn’t speak peaceably to him.

verses 5–11 are not read12His brothers went to feed their father’s flock in Shechem.13Israel said to Joseph,“Aren’t your brothers feeding the flock in Shechem?Come, and I will send you to them.”He said to him, “Here I am.”

verses 14–16 are not read17The man said, “They have left here,for I heard them say,‘Let’s go to Dothan.’”

Joseph went after his brothers, and found them in Dothan.18They saw him afar off,and before he came near to them,they conspired against him to kill him.19They said to one another, “Behold, this dreamer comes.20Come now therefore,and let’s kill him,and cast him into one of the pits,and we will say, ‘An evil animal has devoured him.’We will see what will become of his dreams.”

21Reuben heard it, and delivered him out of their hand,and said, “Let’s not take his life.”22Reuben said to them, “Shed no blood.Throw him into this pit that is in the wilderness,but lay no hand on him”—that he might deliver him out of their hand,to restore him to his father.23When Joseph came to his brothers,they stripped Joseph of his tunic,the tunic of many colors that was on him;24and they took him, and threw him into the pit.The pit was empty.There was no water in it.

25They sat down to eat bread,and they lifted up their eyes and looked,and saw a caravan of Ishmaelites coming from Gilead,with their camels bearing spices and balm and myrrh,going to carry it down to Egypt.26Judah said to his brothers,“What profit is it if we kill our brotherand conceal his blood?27Come, and let’s sell him to the Ishmaelites,and not let our hand be on him;for he is our brother, our flesh.”His brothers listened to him.28Midianites who were merchants passed by,and they drew and lifted up Joseph out of the pit,and sold Joseph to the Ishmaelites for twenty pieces of silver.The merchants brought Joseph into Egypt.

Responsorial PsalmPsalm 105:16-17, 18-19, 20-21

16He called for a famine on the land.He destroyed the food supplies.17He sent a man before them.Joseph was sold for a slave.

18They bruised his feet with shackles.His neck was locked in irons,19until the time that his word happened,and the Lord’s word proved him true.

20The king sent and freed him,even the ruler of peoples, and let him go free.21He made him lord of his house,and ruler of all of his possessions,

GospelMatthew 21:33-43, 45-46

From the Gospel according to Matthew

33“Hear another parable.There was a man who was a master of a householdwho planted a vineyard,set a hedge about it,dug a wine press in it,built a tower, leased it out to farmers,and went into another country.34When the season for the fruit came near,he sent his servants to the farmers to receive his fruit.35The farmers took his servants,beat one, killed another,and stoned another.36Again, he sent other servants more than the first;and they treated them the same way.37But afterward he sent to them his son,saying, ‘They will respect my son.’38But the farmers, when they saw the son,said among themselves,‘This is the heir.Come, let’s kill him and seize his inheritance.’39So they took himand threw him out of the vineyard, then killed him.40When therefore the lord of the vineyard comes,what will he do to those farmers?”

41They told him, “He will miserably destroy those miserable men,and will lease out the vineyard to other farmerswho will give him the fruit in its season.”

42Jesus said to them, “Did you never read in the Scriptures,

‘The stone which the builders rejectedwas made the head of the corner.This was from the Lord.It is marvelous in our eyes’?

43“Therefore I tell you,God’s Kingdom will be taken away from youand will be given to a nation producing its fruit.

verse 44 is not read45When the chief priestsand the Pharisees heard his parables,they perceived that he spoke about them.46When they sought to seize him,they feared the multitudes,because they considered him to be a prophet.

EpistleLectio

Léctio Actuum Apostolórum

Act 1, 15-26.

In diébus illis exsúrgens Petrus in médio fratrum, dixit - erat autem turba hóminum simul, fere centum vigínti -: Viri fratres, opórtet impléri Scriptúram, quam prædíxit Spíritus Sanctus per os David de Juda, qui fuit dux eórum, qui comprehendérunt Jesum: qui connumerátus erat in nobis, et sortítus est sortem ministérii hujus. Et hic quidem possédit agrum de mercéde iniquitátis, et suspénsus crépuit médius: et diffúsa sunt ómnia víscera ejus. Et notum factum est ómnibus habitántibus Jerúsalem, ita ut appellarétur ager ille, lingua eórum, Hacéldama, hoc est ager sánguinis. Scriptum est enim in libro Psalmórum: Fiat commorátio eórum desérta, et non sit, qui inhábitet in ea: et episcopátum ejus accípiat alter. Opórtet ergo ex his viris, qui nobíscum sunt congregáti in omni témpore, quo intrávit et exívit inter nos Dóminus Jesus, incípiens a baptísmate Joánnis usque in diem, qua assúmptus est a nobis, testem resurrectiónis ejus nobíscum fíeri unum ex istis. Et statuérunt duos, Joseph qui vocabátur Bársabas, qui cognominátus est Justus, et Matthíam. Et orántes dixérunt: Tu, Dómine, qui corda nosti ómnium, osténde, quem elégeris ex his duóbus unum, accípere locum ministérii hujus et apostolátus, de quo prævaricátus est Judas, ut abíret in locum suum. Et dedérunt sortes eis, et cécidit sors super Matthíam, et annumerátus est cum úndecim Apóstolis.

Lesson from the Acts of Apostles

Acts 1:15-26

In those days, Peter stood up in the midst of the brethren - now the number of persons met together was about a hundred and twenty - and he said, Brethren, the Scripture must be fulfilled which the Holy Spirit declared before by the mouth of David concerning Judas, who was the guide of those who arrested Jesus; inasmuch as he had been numbered among us and was allotted his share in this ministry. And he indeed bought a field with the price of his iniquity and, being hanged, burst asunder in the midst, and all his bowels gushed out. And it became known to all the residents of Jerusalem, so that the field came to be called in their language Haceldama, that is, the Field of Blood. For it is written in the book of Psalms, ‘Let their habitation become desolate and let there be none to dwell in it.’ And, ‘His ministry let another take.’ Therefore, of these men who have been in our company all the time that the Lord Jesus moved among us, from John’s baptism until the day that He was taken up from us, of these one must become a witness with us of His Resurrection.” And they put forward two: Joseph, called Barsabbas, who was surnamed Justus, and Matthias. And they prayed and said, You, Lord, Who know the hearts of all, show which of these two You have chosen to take the place in this ministry and apostleship from which Judas fell away to go to his own place. And they drew lots between them, and the lot fell upon Matthias; and he was numbered with the eleven apostles.

GospelEvangelium

Sequéntia ☩ sancti Evangélii secúndum Matthǽum

Matt 11:25-30

In illo témpore: Respóndens Jesus, dixit: Confíteor tibi, Pater, Dómine coeli et terræ, quia abscondísti hæc a sapiéntibus et prudéntibus, et revelásti ea párvulis. Ita, Pater: quóniam sic fuit plácitum ante te. Omnia mihi trádita sunt a Patre meo. Et nemo novit Fílium nisi Pater: neque Patrem quis novit nisi Fílius, et cui volúerit Fílius reveláre. Veníte ad me, omnes, qui laborátis et oneráti estis, et ego refíciam vos. Tóllite jugum meum super vos, et díscite a me, quia mitis sum et húmilis corde: et inveniétis réquiem animábus vestris. Jugum enim meum suáve est et onus meum leve.

Continuation ☩ of the Holy Gospel according to Matthew

Matt 11:25-30

At that time, Jesus spoke and said, I praise You, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that You hid these things from the wise and prudent, and revealed them to little ones. Yes, Father, for such was Your good pleasure. All things have been delivered to Me by My Father; and no one knows the Son except the Father; nor does anyone know the Father except the Son, and him to whom the Son chooses to reveal Him. Come to Me, all you who labor and are burdened, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you, and learn from Me, for I am meek and humble of heart; and you will find rest for your souls. For My yoke is easy, and My burden light.

of Apostles

It is truly meet and just, right and for our salvation, to entreat Thee humbly, O Lord, that Thou wouldst not desert Thy flock, O everlasting Shepherd, but, through Thy blessed Apostles, wouldst keep it under Thy constant protection; that it may be governed by those same rulers, whom as vicars of Thy work, Thou didst set over it to be its pastors. And therefore with Angels and Archangels, with Thrones and Dominations, and with all the hosts of the heavenly army, we sing the hymn of Thy glory, evermore saying:
