First ReadingIsaiah 38:1-6, 21-22, 7-8

From the Book of Isaiah

1In those days Hezekiah was sick and near death.Isaiah the prophet,the son of Amoz, came to him,and said to him, “The Lord says,‘Set your house in order,for you will die, and not live.’”

2Then Hezekiah turned his face to the walland prayed to the Lord,3and said, “Remember now,Lord, I beg you, how I have walked before you in truthand with a perfect heart,and have done that which is good in your sight.”Then Hezekiah wept bitterly.

4Then the Lord’s word came to Isaiah, saying,5“Go, and tell Hezekiah,‘The Lord, the God of David your father,says, “I have heard your prayer.I have seen your tears.Behold, I will add fifteen years to your life.6I will deliver youand this city out of the hand of the king of Assyria,and I will defend this city.

verses 9–20 are not read21Now Isaiah had said,“Let them take a cake of figs,and lay it for a poultice on the boil,and he shall recover.”22Hezekiah also had said,“What is the sign that I will go up to the Lord’s house?”7This shall be the sign to you from the Lord,that the Lord will do this thing that he has spoken.8Behold, I will cause the shadow on the sundial,which has gone down on the sundial of Ahaz with the sun,to return backward ten steps.”’”So the sun returned ten steps on the sundial onwhich it had gone down.

Responsorial PsalmIsaiah 38:10, 11, 12abcd, 16

From the Book of Isaiah

10I said, “In the middle of my life I go into the gates of Sheol.I am deprived of the residue of my years.”

11I said, “I won’t see the Lord,the Lord in the land of the living.I will see man no more with the inhabitants of the world.

12My dwelling is removed,and is carried away from me like a shepherd’s tent.I have rolled up my life like a weaver.He will cut me off from the loom.From day even to night you will make an end of me.

16Lord, men live by these things;and my spirit finds life in all of them.You restore me, and cause me to live.

GospelMatthew 12:1-8

From the Gospel according to Matthew

1At that time, Jesus went on the Sabbath day through the grain fields.His disciples were hungryand began to pluck heads of grain and to eat.2But the Pharisees,when they saw it, said to him,“Behold, your disciples do what is not lawful to do on the Sabbath.”

3But he said to them,“Haven’t you read what David did when he was hungry,and those who were with him:4how he entered into God’s house and ate the show bread,which was not lawful for him to eat,nor for those who were with him,but only for the priests?5Or have you not read in the lawthat on the Sabbath day the priests in the temple profane the Sabbath and are guiltless?6But I tell you that one greater than the temple is here.7But if you had known what this means,‘I desire mercy, and not sacrifice,’you wouldn’t have condemned the guiltless.8For the Son of Man is Lord of the Sabbath.”

EpistleLectio

Léctio Epístolæ beáti Pauli Apóstoli ad Timótheum

2 Tim 4:1-8

Caríssime: Testíficor coram Deo, et Jesu Christo, qui judicatúrus est vivos et mórtuos, per advéntum ipsíus et regnum ejus: prǽdica verbum, insta opportúne, importune: árgue, óbsecra, íncrepa in omni patiéntia, et doctrína. Erit enim tempus, cum sanam doctrínam non sustinébunt, sed ad sua desidéria, coacervábunt sibi magistros, pruriéntes áuribus, et a veritáte quidem audítum avértent, ad fábulas autem converténtur. Tu vero vígila, in ómnibus labóra, opus fac Evangelístæ, ministérium tuum imple. Sóbrius esto. Ego enim jam delíbor, et tempus resolutiónis meæ instat. Bonum certámen certávi, cursum consummávi, fidem servávi. In réliquo repósita est mihi coróna justítiæ, quam reddet mihi Dóminus in illa die, justus judex: non solum autem mihi, sed et iis, qui díligunt advéntum ejus.

Lesson from the second letter of St Paul the Apostle to Timothy

2 Tim 4:1-8

Dearly beloved: I charge thee, before God and Jesus Christ, who shall judge the living and the dead, by his coming, and his kingdom: Preach the word: be instant in season, out of season: reprove, entreat, rebuke in all patience and doctrine. For there shall be a time, when they will not endure sound doctrine; but, according to their own desires, they will heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears: And will indeed turn away their hearing from the truth, but will be turned unto fables. But be thou vigilant, labour in all things, do the work of an evangelist, fulfil thy ministry. Be sober. For I am even now ready to be sacrificed: and the time of my dissolution is at hand. I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith. As to the rest, there is laid up for me a crown of justice, which the Lord the just judge will render to me in that day: and not only to me, but to them also that love his coming.

GospelEvangelium

Sequéntia ☩ sancti Evangélii secúndum Matthǽum

Matt 5:13-19

In illo témpore: Dixit Jesus discípulis suis: Vos estis sal terræ. Quod si sal evanúerit, in quo saliétur? Ad níhilum valet ultra, nisi ut mittátur foras, et conculcétur ab homínibus. Vos estis lux mundi. ¶ Non potest cívitas abscóndi supra montem pósita. Neque accéndunt lucérnam, et ponunt eam sub módio, sed super candelábrum, ut lúceat ómnibus, qui in domo sunt. Sic luceat lux vestra coram homínibus, ut vídeant ópera vestra bona, et gloríficent Patrem vestrum, qui in cœlis est. Nolíte putáre, quóniam veni sólvere legem aut prophétas: non veni sólvere, sed adimplére. Amen, quippe dico vobis, donec tránseat cœlum et terra, jota unum aut unus apex non præteríbit a lege, donec ómnia fiant. Qui ergo sólverit unum de mandátis istis mínimis, et docúerit sic hómines, mínimus vocábitur in regno cœlórum: qui autem fécerit et docúerit, hic magnus vocábitur in regno cœlórum.

Continuation ☩ of the Holy Gospel according to Matthew

Matt 5:13-19

In that time Jesus said to His disciples: You are the salt of the earth. But if the salt lose its savour, wherewith shall it be salted? It is good for nothing any more but to be cast out, and to be trodden on by men. You are the light of the world. A city seated on a mountain cannot be hid. Neither do men light a candle and put it under a bushel, but upon a candlestick, that it may shine to all that are in the house. So let your light shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father who is in heaven. Do not think that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets. I am not come to destroy, but to fulfill. For amen I say unto you, till heaven and earth pass, one jot, or one tittle shall not pass of the law, till all be fulfilled. He therefore that shall break one of these least commandments, and shall so teach men, shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven. But he that shall do and teach, he shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.

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:
