First Reading1 Corinthians 1:17-25

From the First Letter of Paul to the Corinthians

17For Christ sent me not to baptize,but to preach the Good News—not in wisdom of words,so that the cross of Christ wouldn’t be made void.18For the word of the cross is foolishness to those who are dying,but to us who are being saved it is the power of God.19For it is written,

“I will destroy the wisdom of the wise.I will bring the discernment of the discerning to nothing.”

20Where is the wise?Where is the scribe?Where is the debater of this age?Hasn’t God made foolish the wisdom of this world?21For seeing that in the wisdom of God,the world through its wisdom didn’t know God,it was God’s good pleasure through the foolishness of the preaching to save those who believe.22For Jews ask for signs, Greeks seek after wisdom,23but we preach Christ crucified,a stumbling block to Jews and foolishness to Greeks,24but to those who are called,both Jews and Greeks,Christ is the power of God and the wisdom of God;25because the foolishness of God is wiser than men,and the weakness of God is stronger than men.

Responsorial PsalmPsalm 33:1-2, 4-5, 10-11

1Rejoice in the Lord, you righteous!Praise is fitting for the upright.2Give thanks to the Lord with the lyre.Sing praises to him with the harp of ten strings.

4For the Lord’s word is right.All his work is done in faithfulness.5He loves righteousness and justice.The earth is full of the loving kindness of the Lord.

10The Lord brings the counsel of the nations to nothing.He makes the thoughts of the peoples to be of no effect.11The counsel of the Lord stands fast forever,the thoughts of his heart to all generations.

GospelMatthew 25:1-13

From the Gospel according to Matthew

1“Then the Kingdom of Heaven will be like ten virginswho took their lamps and went out to meet the bridegroom.2Five of them were foolish, and five were wise.3Those who were foolish,when they took their lamps,took no oil with them,4but the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps.5Now while the bridegroom delayed,they all slumbered and slept.6But at midnight there was a cry, ‘Behold!The bridegroom is coming!Come out to meet him!’7Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps.8The foolish said to the wise,‘Give us some of your oil,for our lamps are going out.’9But the wise answered,saying, ‘What if there isn’t enough for us and you?You go rather to those who sell, and buy for yourselves.’10While they went away to buy,the bridegroom came,and those who were ready went in with him to the wedding feast,and the door was shut.11Afterward the other virgins also came,saying, ‘Lord, Lord, open to us.’12But he answered, ‘Most certainly I tell you,I don’t know you.’13Watch therefore, for you don’t know the day nor the hour inwhich the Son of Man is coming.

EpistleLectio

Léctio Epístolæ beáti Pauli Apóstoli ad Gálatas.

Gal 5:16-24

Fratres: Spíritu ambuláte, et desidéria carnis non perficiétis. Caro enim concupíscit advérsus spíritum, spíritus autem advérsus carnem: hæc enim sibi ínvicem adversántur, ut non quæcúmque vultis, illa faciátis. Quod si spíritu ducímini, non estis sub lege. Manifésta sunt autem ópera carnis, quæ sunt fornicátio, immundítia, impudicítia, luxúria, idolórum sérvitus, venefícia, inimicítiæ, contentiónes, æmulatiónes, iræ, rixæ, dissensiónes, sectæ, invídiæ, homicídia, ebrietátes, comessatiónes, et his simília: quæ prædíco vobis, sicut prædíxi: quóniam, qui talia agunt, regnum Dei non consequántur. Fructus autem Spíritus est: cáritas, gáudium, pax, patiéntia, benígnitas, bónitas, longanímitas, mansuetúdo, fides, modéstia, continéntia, cástitas. Advérsus hujúsmodi non est lex. Qui autem sunt Christi, carnem suam crucifixérunt cum vítiis et concupiscéntiis.

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

Gal 5:16-24

Brethren: Walk in the Spirit, and you will not fulfill the lusts of the flesh. For the flesh lusts against the spirit, and the spirit against the flesh; for these are opposed to each other, so that you do not do what you would. But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the Law. Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are immorality, uncleanness, licentiousness, idolatry, witchcrafts, enmities, contentions, jealousies, anger, quarrels, factions, parties, envies, murders, drunkenness, carousings, and suchlike. And concerning these I warn you, as I have warned you, that they who do such things will not attain the kingdom of God. But of the fruit of the Spirit is: charity, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, long-suffering, mildness, faith, modesty, continency, chastity. Against such things there is no law. And they who belong to Christ have crucified their flesh with its passions and desires.

Sequéntia ☩ sancti Evangélii secúndum Matthǽum

Matt 6:24-33

In illo témpore: Dixit Jesus discípulis suis: Nemo potest duóbus dóminis servíre: aut enim unum ódio habébit, et álterum díliget: aut unum sustinébit, et álterum contémnet. ¶ Non potéstis Deo servíre et mammónæ. Ideo dico vobis, ne sollíciti sitis ánimæ vestræ, quid manducétis, neque córpori vestro, quid induámini. Nonne ánima plus est quam esca: et corpus plus quam vestiméntum? Respícite volatília cœli, quóniam non serunt neque metunt neque cóngregant in hórrea: et Pater vester cœléstis pascit illa. Nonne vos magis pluris estis illis? Quis autem vestrum cógitans potest adjícere ad statúram suam cúbitum unum? Et de vestiménto quid sollíciti estis? Consideráte lília agri, quómodo crescunt: non labórant neque nent. Dico autem vobis, quóniam nec Sálomon in omni glória sua coopértus est sicut unum ex istis. Si autem fænum agri, quod hódie est et cras in clíbanum míttitur, Deus sic vestit: quanto magis vos módicæ fídei? Nolíte ergo sollíciti esse, dicéntes: Quid manducábimus aut quid bibémus aut quo operiémur? Hæc enim ómnia gentes inquírunt. Scit enim Pater vester, quia his ómnibus indigétis. Quǽrite ergo primum regnum Dei et justítiam ejus: et hæc ómnia adjiciéntur vobis.

Continuation ☩ of the Holy Gospel according to Matthew

Matt 6:24-33

At that time, Jesus said to His disciples: No man serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or else he will stand by the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon. Therefore I say to you, do not be anxious for your life, what you shall eat; nor yet for your body, what you shall put on. Is not the life a greater thing than the food, and the body than the clothing? Look at the birds of the air: they do not sow, or reap, or gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are not you of much more value than they? But which of you by being anxious about it can add to his stature a single cubit? And as for clothing, why are you anxious? Consider how the lilies of the field grow; they neither toil nor spin, yet I say to you that not even Solomon in all his glory was arrayed like one of those. But if God so clothes the grass of the field, which flourishes today but tomorrow is thrown into the oven, how much more you, O you of little faith! Therefore do not be anxious, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or, ‘What shall we drink?’ or, ‘What are we to put on?’ - for after all these things the Gentiles seek; - for your Father knows that you need all these things. But seek first the Kingdom of God and His justice, and all these things shall be given you besides.

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:
