First ReadingGenesis 18:1-10*

From the Book of Genesis

1The Lord appeared to him by the oaks of Mamre,as he sat in the tent door in the heat of the day.2He lifted up his eyes and looked,and saw that three men stood near him.When he saw them, he ran to meet them from the tent door,and bowed himself to the earth,3and said, “My lord,if now I have found favor in your sight,please don’t go away from your servant.4Now let a little water be fetched,wash your feet, and rest yourselves under the tree.5I will get a piece of bread so you can refresh your heart.After that you may go your way,now that you have come to your servant.”

They said, “Very well, do as you have said.”

6Abraham hurried into the tent to Sarah,and said, “Quickly prepare three seahs of fine meal,knead it, and make cakes.”7Abraham ran to the herd,and fetched a tender and good calf,and gave it to the servant.He hurried to dress it.8He took butter, milk,and the calf which he had dressed,and set it before them.He stood by them under the tree, and they ate.

9They asked him, “Where is Sarah, your wife?”

He said, “There, in the tent.”

10He said, “I will certainly return to you at about this time next year;and behold, Sarah your wife will have a son.”

Sarah heard in the tent door, which was behind him.

Responsorial PsalmPsalm 15:2, 3-4, 5*

2He who walks blamelessly and does what is right,and speaks truth in his heart;

3he who doesn’t slander with his tongue,nor does evil to his friend,nor casts slurs against his fellow man;4in whose eyes a vile man is despised,but who honors those who fear the Lord;he who keeps an oath even when it hurts, and doesn’t change;

5he who doesn’t lend out his money for usury,nor take a bribe against the innocent.He who does these things shall never be shaken.

Second ReadingColossians 1:24-28*

From the Letter of Paul to the Colossians

24Now I rejoice in my sufferings for your sake,and fill up on my part thatwhich is lacking of the afflictions of Christ in my flesh for his body’s sake,which is the assembly,25of which I was made a servant according to the stewardship of Godwhich was given me toward you to fulfill the word of God,26the mystery which has been hidden for ages and generations.But now it has been revealed to his saints,27to whom God was pleased to make known what are the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles,which is Christ in you,the hope of glory.28We proclaim him, admonishing every manand teaching every man in all wisdom,that we may present every man perfect in Christ Jesus;

GospelLuke 10:38-42*

From the Gospel according to Luke

38As they went on their way,he entered into a certain village,and a certain woman named Martha received him into her house.39She had a sister called Mary,who also sat at Jesus’ feet and heard his word.40But Martha was distracted with much serving,and she came up to him,and said, “Lord, don’t you carethat my sister left me to serve alone?Ask her therefore to help me.”

41Jesus answered her,“Martha, Martha, you are anxiousand troubled about many things,42but one thing is needed.Mary has chosen the good part,which will not be taken away from her.”

EpistleLectio

Léctio Epístolæ beáti Pauli Apóstoli ad Romános

Rom 6:19-23

Fratres: Humánum dico, propter infirmitátem carnis vestræ: sicut enim exhibuístis membra vestra servíre immundítiæ et iniquitáti ad iniquitátem, ita nunc exhibéte membra vestra servíre justítiæ in sanctificatiónem. Cum enim servi essétis peccáti, líberi fuístis justítiæ. Quem ergo fructum habuístis tunc in illis, in quibus nunc erubéscitis? Nam finis illórum mors est. Nunc vero liberáti a peccáto, servi autem facti Deo, habétis fructum vestrum in sanctificatiónem, finem vero vitam ætérnam. Stipéndia enim peccáti mors. Grátia autem Dei vita ætérna, in Christo Jesu, Dómino nostro.

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

Rom 6:19-23

Brethren: I speak in a human way because of the weakness of your flesh; for as you yielded your members as slaves of uncleanness and iniquity unto iniquity, so now yield your members as slaves of justice unto sanctification. For when you were slaves of sin, you were free as regards justice. But what fruit had you then from those things of which you are now ashamed? For the end of these things is death. But now set free from sin and become slaves to God, you have your fruit unto sanctification, and as your end, life everlasting. For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is life everlasting in Christ Jesus our Lord.

GospelEvangelium

Sequéntia ☩ sancti Evangélii secúndum Matthǽum

Matt 7:15-21

In illo témpore: Dixit Jesus discípulis suis: Atténdite a falsis prophétis, qui véniunt ad vos in vestiméntis óvium, intrínsecus autem sunt lupi rapáces: a frúctibus eórum cognoscétis eos. Numquid cólligunt de spinis uvas, aut de tríbulis ficus? Sic omnis arbor bona fructus bonos facit: mala autem arbor malos fructus facit. Non potest arbor bona malos fructus fácere: neque arbor mala bonos fructus fácere. Omnis arbor, quæ non facit fructum bonum, excidétur et in ignem mittétur. Igitur ex frúctibus eórum cognoscétis eos. Non omnis, qui dicit mihi, Dómine, Dómine, intrábit in regnum cœlórum: sed qui facit voluntátem Patris mei, qui in cœlis est, ipse intrábit in regnum cœlórum.

Continuation ☩ of the Holy Gospel according to Matthew

Matt 7:15-21

At that time, Jesus said to His disciples: Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly are ravenous wolves. By their fruits you will know them. Do men gather grapes from thorns, or figs from thistles? Even so, every good tree bears good fruit, but the bad tree bears bad fruit. A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, nor can a bad tree bear good fruit. Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. Therefore, by their fruits you will know them. Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ shall enter the kingdom of heaven; but he who does the will of My Father in heaven shall enter the kingdom of heaven.

Dan 3:40

Sicut in holocáustis aríetum et taurórum, et sicut in mílibus agnórum pínguium: sic fiat sacrifícium nostrum in conspéctu tuo hódie, ut pláceat tibi: quia non est confúsio confidéntibus in te, Dómine.

Dan 3:40

As though it were holocausts of rams and bullocks, or thousands of fat lambs, so let our sacrifice be in Your presence today, that it may please You; for those who trust in You cannot be put to shame, O Lord.

Deus, qui legálium differéntiam hostiárum unius sacrifícii perfectione sanxísti: accipe sacrifícium a devótis tibi fámulis, et pari benedictióne, sicut múnera Abel, sanctífica; ut, quod sínguli obtulérunt ad majestátis tuæ honórem, cunctis profíciat ad salútem.

Per Dominum…

O God, You Who have given us in one perfect sacrifice the fulfillment of the various sacrifices made under the Old Law, accept these sacrificial gifts offered You by Your devoted servants, and make them holy as You did the gifts of Abel, so that what each one of us has offered in praise of Your majesty may profit for the salvation of all.

Through our Lord…

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:

May Your healing action, O Lord, mercifully rid us of our evil inclinations and lead us to do good.
