First ReadingMalachi 1:14b—2:2b, 8-10

From the Book of Malachi

14“But the deceiver is cursed who has in his flock a male,and vows and sacrifices to the Lord a defective thing;for I am a great King,”says the Lord of Armies,“and my name is awesome among the nations.”

1“Now, you priests, this commandment is for you.2If you will not listen,and if you will not take it to heart,to give glory to my name,”says the Lord of Armies,“then I will send the curse on you,and I will curse your blessings.Indeed, I have cursed them already,because you do not take it to heart. verses 3–7 are not read8But you have turned away from the path.You have caused many to stumble in the law.You have corrupted the covenant of Levi,”says the Lord of Armies.9“Therefore I have also made you contemptibleand wicked before all the people,according to the way you have not kept my ways,but have had respect for persons in the law.10Don’t we all have one father?Hasn’t one God created us?Why do we deal treacherously every man against his brother,profaning the covenant of our fathers?

Responsorial PsalmPsalm 131:1, 2, 3

1Lord, my heart isn’t arrogant, nor my eyes lofty;nor do I concern myself with great matters,or things too wonderful for me.

2Surely I have stilled and quieted my soul,like a weaned child with his mother,like a weaned child is my soul within me.

3Israel, hope in the Lord,from this time forward and forever more.

Second Reading1 Thessalonians 2:7b-9, 13

From the First Letter of Paul to the Thessalonians

7But we were gentle among you,like a nursing mother cherishes her own children.

8Even so, affectionately longing for you,we were well pleased to impart to you not the Good News of God only,but also our own souls,because you had become very dear to us.9For you remember, brothers, our labor and travail;for working night and day,that we might not burden any of you,we preached to you the Good News of God.

verses 10–12 are not read13For this cause we also thank God without ceasing thatwhen you received from us the word of the message of God,you accepted it not as the word of men,but as it is in truth,God’s word, which also works in you who believe.

GospelMatthew 23:1-12

From the Gospel according to Matthew

1Then Jesus spoke to the multitudes and to his disciples,2saying, “The scribes and the Pharisees sit on Moses’ seat.3All things therefore whatever they tell you to observe,observe and do, but don’t do their works;for they say, and don’t do.4For they bind heavy burdens that are grievous to be borne,and lay them on men’s shoulders;but they themselves will not lift a finger to help them.5But they do all their works to be seen by men.They make their phylacteries broadand enlarge the fringes of their garments,6and love the place of honor at feasts,the best seats in the synagogues,7the salutations in the marketplaces,and to be called ‘Rabbi, Rabbi’ by men.8But you are not to be called ‘Rabbi’,for one is your teacher,the Christ, and all of you are brothers.9Call no man on the earth your father,for one is your Father,he who is in heaven.10Neither be called masters,for one is your master, the Christ.11But he who is greatest among you will be your servant.12Whoever exalts himself will be humbled,and whoever humbles himself will be exalted.

EpistleLectio

Léctio Epístolæ beáti Pauli Apóstoli ad Colossénses.

Col 1:12-20

Fratres: Grátias ágimus Deo Patri, qui dignos nos fecit in partem sortis sanctórum in lúmine: qui erípuit nos de potestáte tenebrárum, et tránstulit in regnum Fílii dilectiónis suæ, in quo habémus redemptiónem per sánguinem ejus, remissiónem peccatórum: qui est imágo Dei invisíbilis, primogénitus omnis creatúra: quóniam in ipso cóndita sunt univérsa in cœlis et in terra, visibília et invisibília, sive Throni, sive Dominatiónes, sive Principátus, sive Potestátes: ómnia per ipsum, et in ipso creáta sunt: et ipse est ante omnes, et ómnia in ipso constant. Et ipse est caput córporis Ecclésiæ, qui est princípium, primogénitus ex mórtuis: ut sit in ómnibus ipse primátum tenens; quia in ipso complácuit omnem plenitúdinem inhabitáre; et per eum reconciliáre ómnia in ipsum, pacíficans per sánguinem crucis ejus, sive quæ in terris, sive quæ in cœlis sunt, in Christo Jesu Dómino nostro.

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

Col 1:12-20.

Brethren: We give thanks to God the Father Who has made us worthy to share the lot of the saints in light. He has rescued us from the power of darkness, and transferred us into the kingdom of His beloved Son, in Whom we have our redemption through His blood, the remission of sins. He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature. For in Him were created all things in the heavens and on the earth, things visible and things invisible, whether Thrones, or Dominations, or Principalities, or Powers. All things have been created through and unto Him, and He is before all creatures, and in Him all things hold together. Again, He is the head of the body, the Church; He, Who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, that in all things He may have the first place. For it has pleased God the Father that in Him all fullness should dwell and that through Him He should reconcile to Himself all things, whether on the earth or in the heavens, making peace through the blood of His Cross, in Christ Jesus our Lord.

GospelEvangelium

Sequéntia ☩ sancti Evangélii secúndum Joánnem.

Joann 18:33-37

In illo témpore: Dixit Pilátus ad Jesum: Tu es Rex Judæórum? Respóndit Jesus: A temetípso hoc dicis, an álii dixérunt tibi de me? Respóndit Pilátus: Numquid ego Judǽus sum? Gens tua et pontífices tradidérunt te mihi: quid fecísti? Respóndit Jesus: Regnum meum non est de hoc mundo. Si ex hoc mundo esset regnum meum, minístri mei útique decertárent, ut non tráderer Judǽis: nunc autem regnum meum non est hinc. Dixit ítaque ei Pilátus: Ergo Rex es tu? Respóndit Jesus: Tu dicis, quia Rex sum ego. Ego in hoc natus sum et ad hoc veni in mundum, ut testimónium perhíbeam veritáti: omnis, qui est ex veritáte, audit vocem meam.

Continuation ☩ of the Holy Gospel according to John

John 18:33-37

At that time, Pilate said to Jesus, Are You the King of the Jews? Jesus answered, Do you say this of yourself, or have others told you of Me? Pilate answered, Am I a Jew? Your own people and the chief priests have delivered You to me. What have You done? Jesus answered, My kingdom is not of this world. If My kingdom were of this world, My followers would certainly have fought that I might not be delivered to the Hebrews. But, as it is, My kingdom is not from here. Pilate therefore said to Him, You are then a King? Jesus answered, You say it: I am a King. This is why I was born, and why I have come into the world, to bear witness to the truth. Everyone who is of the truth hears My voice.

de D.N. Jesu Christi Rege

Vere dignum et justum est, æquum et salutáre, nos tibi semper et ubíque grátias ágere: Dómine sancte, Pater omnípotens, ætérne Deus: Qui unigénitum Fílium tuum, Dóminum nostrum Jesum Christum, Sacerdótem ætérnum et universórum Regem, óleo exsultatiónis unxísti: ut, seípsum in ara crucis hóstiam immaculátam et pacíficam ófferens, redemptiónis humánæ sacraménta perágeret: et suo subjéctis império ómnibus creatúris, ætérnum et universále regnum, imménsæ tuæ tráderet Majestáti.

Christ the King

It is 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 didst anoint, with the oil of gladness, Thine only-begotten Son, our Lord Jesus Christ, to be the eternal Priest and King of the universe; that by offering Himself a spotless Victim and peace-offering on the altar of the Cross, He might accomplish the mysteries of man's redemption, and that having subjected all creatures to His dominion, He might present to Thine infinite Majesty an everlasting and universal Kingdom; a kingdom of truth and life; and kingdom of holiness and grace; a kingdom of justice, love, and peace. And therefore with Angels and Archangels, with Thrones and Dominations and with all the hosts of the heavenly army, we sing the hymn of Thy glory, evermore saying:
