First ReadingNehemiah 2:1-8

From the Book of Nehemiah

1In the month Nisan,in the twentieth year of Artaxerxes the king,when wine was before him,I picked up the wine,and gave it to the king.Now I had not been sad before in his presence.2The king said to me,“Why is your face sad,since you are not sick?This is nothing else but sorrow of heart.”

Then I was very much afraid.3I said to the king, “Let the king live forever!Why shouldn’t my face be sad,when the city, the place of my fathers’ tombs,lies waste, and its gates have been consumed with fire?”

4Then the king said to me, “What is your request?”

So I prayed to the God of heaven.5I said to the king,“If it pleases the king,and if your servant has found favor in your sight,I ask that you would send me to Judah,to the city of my fathers’ tombs,that I may build it.”

6The king said to me (the queen was also sitting by him),“How long will your journey be?When will you return?”

So it pleased the king to send me,and I set a time for him.7Moreover I said to the king,“If it pleases the king,let letters be given me to the governors beyond the River,that they may let me pass through until I come to Judah;8and a letter to Asaph the keeper of the king’s forest,that he may give me timber to make beams for the gates of the citadel by the temple,for the wall of the city,and for the house that I will occupy.”

The king granted my requests,because of the good hand of my God on me.

Responsorial PsalmPsalm 137:1-2, 3, 4-5, 6

1By the rivers of Babylon, there we sat down.Yes, we wept, when we remembered Zion.2On the willows in that land,we hung up our harps.

3For there, those who led us captive asked us for songs.Those who tormented us demanded songs of joy:“Sing us one of the songs of Zion!”

4How can we sing the Lord’s song in a foreign land?5If I forget you, Jerusalem,let my right hand forget its skill.

6Let my tongue stick to the roof of my mouth if I don’t remember you,if I don’t prefer Jerusalem above my chief joy.

GospelLuke 9:57-62

From the Gospel according to Luke

57As they went on the way,a certain man said to him,“I want to follow you wherever you go, Lord.”

58Jesus said to him,“The foxes have holes and the birds of the sky have nests,but the Son of Man has no place to lay his head.”

59He said to another, “Follow me!”

But he said, “Lord,allow me first to go and bury my father.”

60But Jesus said to him,“Leave the dead to bury their own dead,but you go and announce God’s Kingdom.”

61Another also said,“I want to follow you,Lord, but first allow me to say good-bye to thosewho are at my house.”

62But Jesus said to him,“No one, having put his hand to the plow and looking back,is fit for God’s Kingdom.”

Gal 6:14

Mihi autem absit gloriári, nisi in Cruce Dómini nostri Jesu Christi: per quem mihi mundus crucifíxus est, et ego mundo.

Voce mea ad Dóminum clamávi: voce mea ad Dóminum deprecátus sum.

EpistleLectio

Léctio Epístolæ beáti Pauli Apóstoli ad Gálatas

Gal 6:14-18

Fratres: Mihi autem absit gloriári, nisi in Cruce Dómini nostri Jesu Christi: per quem mihi mundus crucifíxus est, et ego mundo. In Christo enim Jesu neque circumcísio áliquid valet neque præpútium, sed nova creatúra. Et quicúmque hanc régulam secúti fúerint, pax sin per illos et misericórdia, et super Israël Dei. De cetero nemo mihi moléstus sit: ego enim stígmata Dómini Jesu in córpore meo porto. Grátia Dómini nostri Jesu Christi cum spíritu vestro, fratres. Amen.

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

Gal 6:14-18

Brethren: But as for me, God forbid that I should glory, save in us the Cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, through Whom the world is crucified to me, and I to the world. For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision but a new creation is of any account. And whoever follow this rule, peace and mercy upon them, even upon the Israel of God. Henceforth let no man give me trouble, for I bear the marks of the Lord Jesus in my body. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit, brethren. Amen.

GospelEvangelium

Sequéntia ☩ sancti Evangélii secúndum Matthǽum

Matt 11:25-30

In illo témpore: Respóndens Jesus, dixit: Confíteor tibi, Pater, Dómine coeli et terræ, quia abscondísti hæc a sapiéntibus et prudéntibus, et revelásti ea párvulis. Ita, Pater: quóniam sic fuit plácitum ante te. Omnia mihi trádita sunt a Patre meo. Et nemo novit Fílium nisi Pater: neque Patrem quis novit nisi Fílius, et cui volúerit Fílius reveláre. Veníte ad me, omnes, qui laborátis et oneráti estis, et ego refíciam vos. Tóllite jugum meum super vos, et díscite a me, quia mitis sum et húmilis corde: et inveniétis réquiem animábus vestris. Jugum enim meum suáve est et onus meum leve.

Continuation ☩ of the Holy Gospel according to Matthew

Matt 11:25-30

At that time, Jesus spoke and said, I praise You, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that You hid these things from the wise and prudent, and revealed them to little ones. Yes, Father, for such was Your good pleasure. All things have been delivered to Me by My Father; and no one knows the Son except the Father; nor does anyone know the Father except the Son, and him to whom the Son chooses to reveal Him. Come to Me, all you who labor and are burdened, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you, and learn from Me, for I am meek and humble of heart; and you will find rest for your souls. For My yoke is easy, and My burden light.

Vere dignum et justum est, æquum et salutáre, nos tibi semper et ubíque grátias ágere: Dómine sancte, Pater omnípotens, ætérne Deus: per Christum, Dóminum nostrum. Per quem majestátem tuam laudant Angeli, adórant Dominatiónes, tremunt Potestátes. Cæli cælorúmque Virtútes ac beáta Séraphim sócia exsultatióne concélebrant.

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:
