First ReadingGenesis 37:3-4, 12-13a, 17b-28a

From the Book of Genesis

3Now Israel loved Joseph more than all his children,because he was the son of his old age,and he made him a tunic of many colors.4His brothers sawthat their father loved him more than all his brothers,and they hated him,and couldn’t speak peaceably to him.

verses 5–11 are not read12His brothers went to feed their father’s flock in Shechem.13Israel said to Joseph,“Aren’t your brothers feeding the flock in Shechem?Come, and I will send you to them.”He said to him, “Here I am.”

verses 14–16 are not read17The man said, “They have left here,for I heard them say,‘Let’s go to Dothan.’”

Joseph went after his brothers, and found them in Dothan.18They saw him afar off,and before he came near to them,they conspired against him to kill him.19They said to one another, “Behold, this dreamer comes.20Come now therefore,and let’s kill him,and cast him into one of the pits,and we will say, ‘An evil animal has devoured him.’We will see what will become of his dreams.”

21Reuben heard it, and delivered him out of their hand,and said, “Let’s not take his life.”22Reuben said to them, “Shed no blood.Throw him into this pit that is in the wilderness,but lay no hand on him”—that he might deliver him out of their hand,to restore him to his father.23When Joseph came to his brothers,they stripped Joseph of his tunic,the tunic of many colors that was on him;24and they took him, and threw him into the pit.The pit was empty.There was no water in it.

25They sat down to eat bread,and they lifted up their eyes and looked,and saw a caravan of Ishmaelites coming from Gilead,with their camels bearing spices and balm and myrrh,going to carry it down to Egypt.26Judah said to his brothers,“What profit is it if we kill our brotherand conceal his blood?27Come, and let’s sell him to the Ishmaelites,and not let our hand be on him;for he is our brother, our flesh.”His brothers listened to him.28Midianites who were merchants passed by,and they drew and lifted up Joseph out of the pit,and sold Joseph to the Ishmaelites for twenty pieces of silver.The merchants brought Joseph into Egypt.

Responsorial PsalmPsalm 105:16-17, 18-19, 20-21

16He called for a famine on the land.He destroyed the food supplies.17He sent a man before them.Joseph was sold for a slave.

18They bruised his feet with shackles.His neck was locked in irons,19until the time that his word happened,and the Lord’s word proved him true.

20The king sent and freed him,even the ruler of peoples, and let him go free.21He made him lord of his house,and ruler of all of his possessions,

GospelMatthew 21:33-43, 45-46

From the Gospel according to Matthew

33“Hear another parable.There was a man who was a master of a householdwho planted a vineyard,set a hedge about it,dug a wine press in it,built a tower, leased it out to farmers,and went into another country.34When the season for the fruit came near,he sent his servants to the farmers to receive his fruit.35The farmers took his servants,beat one, killed another,and stoned another.36Again, he sent other servants more than the first;and they treated them the same way.37But afterward he sent to them his son,saying, ‘They will respect my son.’38But the farmers, when they saw the son,said among themselves,‘This is the heir.Come, let’s kill him and seize his inheritance.’39So they took himand threw him out of the vineyard, then killed him.40When therefore the lord of the vineyard comes,what will he do to those farmers?”

41They told him, “He will miserably destroy those miserable men,and will lease out the vineyard to other farmerswho will give him the fruit in its season.”

42Jesus said to them, “Did you never read in the Scriptures,

‘The stone which the builders rejectedwas made the head of the corner.This was from the Lord.It is marvelous in our eyes’?

43“Therefore I tell you,God’s Kingdom will be taken away from youand will be given to a nation producing its fruit.

verse 44 is not read45When the chief priestsand the Pharisees heard his parables,they perceived that he spoke about them.46When they sought to seize him,they feared the multitudes,because they considered him to be a prophet.

EpistleLectio

Léctio libri Génesis.

Gen 37:6-22

In diébus illis: Dixit Joseph frátribus suis: Audíte sómnium meum, quod vidi: Putábam nos ligáre manípulos in agro: et quasi consúrgere manípulum meum et stare, vestrósque manípulos circumstántes adoráre manípulum meum. Respondérunt fratres ejus: Numquid rex noster eris? aut subjiciémur dicióni tuæ? Hæc ergo causa somniórum atque sermónum, invídiæ et ódii fómitem ministrávit. Aliud quoque vidit sómnium, quod narrans frátribus, ait: Vidi per sómnium, quasi solem et lunam et stellas úndecim adoráre me. Quod cum patri suo et frátribus rettulísset, increpávit eum pater suus, et dixit: Quid sibi vult hoc sómnium, quod vidísti? Num ego et mater tua et fratres tui adorábimus te super terram? Invidébant ei ígitur fratres sui: pater vero rem tácitus considerábat. Cumque fratres illíus in pascéndis grégibus patris moraréntur in Sichem, dixit ad eum Israël: Fratres tui pascunt oves in Síchimis: veni, mittam te ad eos. Quo respondénte: Præsto sum, ait ei: Vade et vide, si cuncta próspera sint erga fratres tuos et pécora: et renúntia mihi, quid agátur. Missus de valle Hebron, venit in Sichem: invenítque eum vir errántem in agro, et interrogávit, quid quǽreret. At ille respóndit: Fratres meos quæro: índica mihi, ubi pascant greges. Dixítque ei vir: Recessérunt de loco isto: audívi autem eos dicéntes: Eámus in Dóthain. Perréxit ergo Joseph post fratres suos, et invénit eos in Dóthain. Qui cum vidíssent eum procul, ántequam accéderet ad eos, cogitavérunt illum occídere, et mútuo loquebántur: Ecce, somniátor venit; veníte, occidámus eum, et mittámus in cistérnam véterem, dicemúsque: Fera péssima devorávit eum: et tunc apparébit, quid illi prosint sómnia sua. Audiens autem hoc Ruben, nitebátur liberáre eum de mánibus eórum, et dicébat: Non interficiátis ánimam ejus, nec effundátis sánguinem: sed projícite eum in cistérnam hanc, quæ est in solitúdine, manúsque vestras serváte innóxias: hoc autem dicébat, volens erípere eum de mánibus eórum, et réddere patri suo.

Lesson from the book of Genesis

Gen 37:6-22

In those days, Joseph said to his brothers, Listen to this dream which I had. We were binding sheaves in the field; my sheaf rose up and remained standing, while your sheaves gathered round and bowed down to my sheaf. His brothers answered, Are you to be our king? Are you to rule over us? And because of his dreams and words they hated him the more. He had another dream which he also told to his brothers. I had another dream, he said. The sun, the moon and eleven stars were worshipping me. When he told that to his father and his brothers, his father reproved him. What is this dream that you have had? he said. Can it be that I and your mother and your brothers will come to bow to the ground before you? So his brothers envied him, while his father pondered the matter. When his brothers had gone to pasture their father’s flocks at Sichem, Israel said to Joseph, Your brothers are pasturing the flocks at Sichem; get ready, I will send you to them. Joseph answered, I am ready. Go, then, said Israel, and see if all is well with your brothers and with the flocks; and bring back a report to me. So he sent him from the valley of Hebron, and he came to Sichem. A man found Joseph wandering about in the fields and asked him, What are you looking for? I am looking for my brothers, he answered. Tell me, please, where they are pasturing. The man said, They have moved on from here, because I heard them say, ‘Let us go to Dothain.’ So Joseph went after his brothers and found them in Dothain. They saw him in the distance, and before he drew near them, they plotted to kill him. They said to one another, Here comes that dreamer! Let us therefore kill him and throw him into a cistern; we can say that a wild beast devoured him. Let us see then what becomes of his dreams. But when Ruben heard of it, he tried to rescue him from them saying, We must not kill him. Then he continued, Do not shed blood. Throw him into the cistern there in the desert, but do not lay a hand on him. His purpose was to rescue him from them and restore him to his father.

Sequéntia ☩ sancti Evangélii secúndum Matthǽum

Matt 21:33-46

In illo témpore: Dixit Jesus turbis Judæórum et princípibus sacerdótum parábolam hanc: Homo erat paterfamílias, qui plantávit víneam, et sepem circúmdedit ei, et fodit in ea tórcular, et ædificávit turrim, et locávit eam agrícolis, et péregre proféctus est. Cum autem tempus frúctuum appropinquásset, misit servos suos ad agrícolas, ut accíperent fructus ejus. Et agrícolæ, apprehénsis servis ejus, alium cecidérunt, alium occidérunt, álium vero lapidavérunt. Iterum misit álios servos plures prióribus, et fecérunt illis simíliter. Novíssime autem misit ad eos fílium suum, dicens: Verebúntur fílium meum. Agrícolæ autem vidéntes fílium, dixérunt intra se: Hic est heres, veníte, occidámus eum, et habébimus hereditátem ejus. Et apprehénsum eum ejecérunt extra víneam, et occidérunt. Cum ergo vénerit dóminus víneæ, quid fáciet agrícolis illis? Ajunt illi: Malos male perdet: et víneam suam locábit áliis agrícolis, qui reddant ei fructum tempóribus suis. Dicit illis Jesus: Numquam legístis in Scriptúris: Lápidem, quem reprobavérunt ædificántes, hic factus est in caput ánguli? A Dómino factum est istud, et est mirábile in óculis nostris. Ideo dico vobis, quia auferétur a vobis regnum Dei, et dábitur genti faciénti fructus ejus. Et qui cecíderit super lápidem istum, confringétur: super quem vero cecíderit, cónteret eum. Et cum audíssent príncipes sacerdótum et pharisǽi parábolas ejus, cognovérunt, quod de ipsis díceret. Et quæréntes eum tenére, timuérunt turbas: quóniam sicut Prophétam eum habébant.

Continuation of the Holy Gospel according to Matthew

Matt 21:33-46

At that time, Jesus spoke this parable to the multitude of the Jews and the chief priests: There was a man, a householder, who planted a vineyard, and put a hedge about it, and dug a wine vat in it, and built a tower; then he let it out to vine-dressers, and went abroad. But when the fruit season drew near, he sent his servants to the vine-dressers to receive his fruits. And the vine-dressers seized his servants, and beat one, killed another, and stoned another. Again he sent another party of servants more numerous than the first; and they did the same to these. Finally he sent his son to them, saying, ‘They will respect my son.’ But the vine-dressers, on seeing the son, said among themselves, ‘This is the heir; come, let us kill him, and we shall have his inheritance.’ So they seized him, cast him out of the vineyard, and killed him. When, therefore, the owner of the vineyard comes, what will he do to those vine-dressers? They said to Him, He will utterly destroy those evil men, and will let out the vineyard to other vine-dressers, who will render to him the fruits in their seasons. Jesus said to them, Did you never read in the Scriptures, ‘The stone which the builders rejected, has become the cornerstone; by the Lord this has been done, and it is wonderful in our eyes’? Therefore I say to you, that the kingdom of God will be taken away from you and will be given to a people yielding its fruits. And he who falls on this stone will be broken to pieces; but upon whomever it falls, it will grind him to powder. And when the chief priests and Pharisees had heard His parables, they knew that He was speaking about them. And though they sought to lay hands on Him, they feared the people, because they regarded Him as a prophet.

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 by this bodily fast, dost curb our vices, dost lift up our minds and bestow on us strength and rewards; through Christ our Lord. Through whom the Angels praise Thy Majesty, the Dominations worship it, the Powers stand in awe. The Heavens and the heavenly hosts together with the blessed Seraphim in triumphant chorus unite to celebrate it. Together with these we entreat Thee that Thou mayest bid our voices also to be admitted while we say with lowly praise:
