First ReadingExodus 14:21—15:1

From the Book of Exodus

21Moses stretched out his hand over the sea,and the Lord caused the sea to go back by a strong east wind all night,and made the sea dry land,and the waters were divided.22The children of Israel went into the middle of the sea on the dry ground;and the waters were a wall to them on their right hand and on their left.23The Egyptians pursued,and went in after them into the middle of the sea:all of Pharaoh’s horses, his chariots, and his horsemen.24In the morning watch,the Lord looked out on the Egyptian army through the pillar of fire and of cloud,and confused the Egyptian army.25He took off their chariot wheels,and they drove them heavily;so that the Egyptians said,“Let’s flee from the face of Israel,for the Lord fights for them against the Egyptians!”

26The Lord said to Moses,“Stretch out your hand over the sea,that the waters may come again on the Egyptians,on their chariots,and on their horsemen.”27Moses stretched out his hand over the sea,and the sea returned to its strengthwhen the morning appeared;and the Egyptians fled against it.The Lord overthrew the Egyptians in the middle of the sea.28The waters returned,and covered the chariots and the horsemen,even all Pharaoh’s armythat went in after them into the sea.There remained not so much as one of them.29But the children of Israel walked on dry land in the middle of the sea,and the waters were a wall to them on their right hand and on their left.30Thus the Lord saved Israelthat day out of the hand of the Egyptians;and Israel saw the Egyptians dead on the seashore.31Israel saw the great workwhich the Lord did to the Egyptians,and the people feared the Lord;and they believed in the Lord and in his servant Moses.

1Then Moses and the children of Israel sang this song to the Lord, and said,

“I will sing to the Lord, for he has triumphed gloriously.He has thrown the horse and his rider into the sea.

Responsorial PsalmExodus 15:8-9, 10 and 12, 17

From the Book of Exodus

8With the blast of your nostrils, the waters were piled up.The floods stood upright as a heap.The deeps were congealed in the heart of the sea.9The enemy said, ‘I will pursue. I will overtake. I will divide the plunder.My desire will be satisfied on them.I will draw my sword. My hand will destroy them.’

10You blew with your wind.The sea covered them.They sank like lead in the mighty waters.12You stretched out your right hand.The earth swallowed them.

17You will bring them in, and plant them in the mountain of your inheritance,the place, Lord, which you have made for yourself to dwell in:the sanctuary, Lord, which your hands have established.

GospelMatthew 12:46-50

From the Gospel according to Matthew

46While he was yet speaking to the multitudes,behold, his mother and his brothers stood outside,seeking to speak to him.47One said to him, “Behold,your mother and your brothers stand outside,seeking to speak to you.”

48But he answered him who spoke to him, “Who is my mother?Who are my brothers?”49He stretched out his hand toward his disciples,and said, “Behold,my mother and my brothers!50For whoever does the will of my Father who is in heaven,he is my brother, and sister, and mother.”

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:
