First ReadingRevelation 11:4-12

From the Book of Revelation

4These are the two olive trees and the two lamp stands,standing before the Lord of the earth.5If anyone desires to harm them,fire proceeds out of their mouthand devours their enemies.If anyone desires to harm them,he must be killed in this way.6These have the power to shut up the sky,that it may not rain during the days of their prophecy.They have power over the waters,to turn them into blood,and to strike the earth with every plague,as often as they desire.

7When they have finished their testimony,the beast that comes up out of the abyss will make war with them,and overcome them, and kill them.8Their dead bodies will be in the street of the great city,which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt,where also their Lord was crucified.9From among the peoples,tribes, languages,and nations, people will look at their dead bodies for three and a half days,and will not allow their dead bodies to be laid in a tomb.10Those who dwell on the earth will rejoice over them,and they will be glad.They will give gifts to one another,because these two prophets tormented thosewho dwell on the earth.

11After the three and a half days,the breath of life from God entered into them,and they stood on their feet.Great fear fell on those who saw them.12I heard a loud voice from heaven saying to them, “Come up here!”They went up into heaven in a cloud,and their enemies saw them.

Responsorial PsalmPsalm 144:1, 2, 9-10

1Blessed be the Lord, my rock,who trains my hands to war,and my fingers to battle—

2my loving kindness, my fortress,my high tower, my deliverer,my shield, and he in whom I take refuge,who subdues my people under me.

9I will sing a new song to you, God.On a ten-stringed lyre, I will sing praises to you.10You are he who gives salvation to kings,who rescues David, his servant, from the deadly sword.

GospelLuke 20:27-40

From the Gospel according to Luke

27Some of the Sadducees came to him,those who deny that there is a resurrection.28They asked him, “Teacher,Moses wrote to usthat if a man’s brother dies having a wife,and he is childless,his brother should take the wifeand raise up children for his brother.29There were therefore seven brothers.The first took a wife, and died childless.30The second took her as wife, and he died childless.31The third took her,and likewise the seven all left no children, and died.32Afterward the woman also died.33Therefore in the resurrection whose wife of them will she be?For the seven had her as a wife.”

34Jesus said to them,“The children of this age marry and are given in marriage.35But those who are considered worthy to attain to that ageand the resurrection from the dead neither marry nor are given in marriage.36For they can’t die any more,for they are like the angels and are children of God,being children of the resurrection.37But that the dead are raised,even Moses showed at the bush,when he called the Lord ‘The God of Abraham,the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.’38Now he is not the God of the dead,but of the living,for all are alive to him.”

39Some of the scribes answered, “Teacher, you speak well.”40They didn’t dare to ask him any more questions.

Léctio libri Sapiéntiæ

Eccli 51:1-8; 51:12

Confitébor tibi, Dómine, Rex, et collaudábo te Deum, Salvatórem meum. Confitébor nómini tuo: quóniam adjútor et protéctor factus es mihi, et liberásti corpus meum a perditióne, a láqueo línguæ iníquæ et a lábiis operántium mendácium, et in conspéctu astántium factus es mihi adjutor. Et liberasti me secúndum multitúdinem misericórdiæ nóminis tui a rugiéntibus, præparátis ad escam, de mánibus quæréntium ánimam meam, et de portis tribulatiónum, quæ circumdedérunt me: a pressúra flammæ, quæ circúmdedit me, et in médio ignis non sum æstuáta: de altitúdine ventris ínferi, et a lingua coinquináta, et a verbo mendácii, a rege iníquo, et a lingua injústa: laudábit usque ad mortem ánima mea Dóminum: quóniam éruis sustinéntes te, et líberas eos de mánibus géntium, Dómine, Deus noster.

Lesson from the book of Ecclesiasticus

Sir 51:1-8; 51:12

I will give You thanks, O Lord, O King; I will praise You, O God my Saviour! I will make known Your name; for You have preserved my body from destruction, from the scourge of a slanderous tongue, and from lips that went over to falsehood; and in the sight of those who stood by, You have been my helper. And You have delivered me, according to the multitude of the mercy of Your name, from those who did roar, prepared to devour; from the power of those who sought my life, and from the gates of afflictions which compassed me about; from the oppression of the flames which hemmed me in on every side, and in the midst of the fire I was not burnt; from the deep belly of the nether world, and from an unclean tongue, and from lying words, from an unjust king, and from dishonest tongues. My soul shall praise the Lord even to death; because You, O Lord, our God, save those who take refuge in You, and rescue them out of the hands of the nations.

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.”

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:
