First Reading1 Corinthians 3:1-9

From the First Letter of Paul to the Corinthians

1Brothers, I couldn’t speak to you as to spiritual,but as to fleshly,as to babies in Christ.2I fed you with milk,not with solid food,for you weren’t yet ready.Indeed, you aren’t ready even now,3for you are still fleshly.For insofar as there is jealousy,strife, and factions among you,aren’t you fleshly,and don’t you walk in the ways of men?4For when one says,“I follow Paul,” and another,“I follow Apollos,”aren’t you fleshly?

5Who then is Apollos,and who is Paul, but servants through whom you believed,and each as the Lord gave to him?6I planted. Apollos watered.But God gave the increase.7So then neither he who plants is anything,nor he who waters,but God who gives the increase.8Now he who plants and he who waters are the same,but each will receive his own reward according to his own labor.9For we are God’s fellow workers.You are God’s farming, God’s building.

Responsorial PsalmPsalm 33:12-13, 14-15, 20-21

12Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord,the people whom he has chosen for his own inheritance.13The Lord looks from heaven.He sees all the sons of men.

14From the place of his habitation he looks out on all the inhabitants of the earth,15he who fashions all of their hearts;and he considers all of their works.

20Our soul has waited for the Lord.He is our help and our shield.21For our heart rejoices in him,because we have trusted in his holy name.

GospelLuke 4:38-44

From the Gospel according to Luke

38He rose up from the synagogueand entered into Simon’s house.Simon’s mother-in-law was afflicted with a great fever,and they begged him to help her.39He stood over her and rebuked the fever, and it left her.Immediately she rose up and served them.40When the sun was setting,all those who had any sick with various diseases brought them to him;and he laid his hands on every one of them, and healed them.41Demons also came out of many,crying out and saying,“You are the Christ, the Son of God!”Rebuking them, he didn’t allow them to speak,because they knew that he was the Christ.

42When it was day, he departedand went into an uninhabited placeand the multitudes looked for him,and came to him, and held on to him,so that he wouldn’t go away from them.43But he said to them,“I must preach the good news of God’s Kingdom to the other cities also.For this reason I have been sent.”44He was preaching in the synagogues of Galilee.

Léctio libri Sapiéntiæ

Eccli 44:16-27; 45, 3-20

Ecce sacérdos magnus, qui in diébus suis plácuit Deo, et invéntus est justus: et in témpore iracúndiæ factus est reconciliátio. Non est invéntus símilis illi, qui conservávit legem Excélsi. Ideo jurejurándo fecit illum Dóminus créscere in plebem suam. Benedictiónem ómnium géntium dedit illi, et testaméntum suum confirmávit super caput ejus. Agnóvit eum in benedictiónibus suis: conservávit illi misericórdiam suam: et invénit grátiam coram óculis Dómini. Magnificávit eum in conspéctu regum: et dedit illi corónam glóriæ. Státuit illi testaméntum ætérnum, et dedit illi sacerdótium magnum: et beatificávit illum in glória. Fungi sacerdótio, et habére laudem in nómine ipsíus, et offérre illi incénsum dignum in odórem suavitátis.

Lesson from the book of Ecclesiasticus

Sir 44:16-27; 45:3-20

Behold, a great priest, who in his days pleased God, and was found just; and in the time of wrath he was made a reconciliation. There was not found the like to him, who kept the law of the Most High. Therefore, by an oath, the Lord made him to increase among his people. He gave him the blessing of all nations, and confirmed His covenant upon his head. He acknowledged him in His blessings; He preserved for him His mercy; and he found grace before the eyes of the Lord. He glorified him in the sight of kings, and gave him a crown of glory. He made an everlasting covenant with him, and gave him a great priesthood; and made him blessed in glory. To execute the office of the priesthood, and to have praise in His name, and to offer Him a worthy incense for an odor of sweetness.

GospelEvangelium

Sequéntia ☩ sancti Evangélii secúndum Matthǽum

Matt 25:14-23

In illo témpore: Dixit Jesus discípulis suis parábolam hanc: Homo péregre proficíscens vocávit servos suos, et trádidit illis bona sua. Et uni dedit quinque talénta, álii autem duo, álii vero unum, unicuíque secúndum própriam virtútem, et proféctus est statim. Abiit autem, qui quinque talénta accéperat, et operátus est in eis, et lucrátus est ália quinque. Simíliter et, qui duo accéperat, lucrátus est ália duo. Qui autem unum accéperat, ábiens fodit in terram, et abscóndit pecúniam dómini sui. Post multum vero témporis venit dóminus servórum illórum, et pósuit ratiónem cum eis. Et accédens qui quinque talénta accéperat, óbtulit ália quinque talénta, dicens: Dómine, quinque talénta tradidísti mihi, ecce, ália quinque superlucrátus sum. Ait illi dóminus ejus: Euge, serve bone et fidélis, quia super pauca fuísti fidélis, super multa te constítuam: intra in gáudium dómini tui. Accéssit autem et qui duo talénta accéperat, et ait: Dómine, duo talénta tradidísti mihi, ecce, ália duo lucrátus sum. Ait illi dóminus ejus: Euge, serve bone et fidélis, quia super pauca fuísti fidélis, super multa te constítuam: intra in gáudium dómini tui.

Continuation ☩ of the Holy Gospel according to Matthew

Matt 25:14-23

At that time, Jesus spoke this parable to His disciples: A man going abroad, called his servants and handed over his goods to them. And to one he gave five talents, to another two, and to another one, to each according to his particular ability, and then he went on his journey. And he who had received the five talents went and traded with them, and gained five more. In like manner, he who had received the two gained two more. But he who had received the one went away and dug in the earth and hid his master’s money. Then after a long time the master of those servants came and settled accounts with them. And he who had received the five talents came and brought five other talents, saying, ‘Master, you handed over to me five talents; behold, I have gained five others in addition.’ His master said to him, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant; because you have been faithful over a few things, I will set you over many; enter into the joy of your master.’ And he also who had received the two talents came, and said, ‘Master, you handed over to me two talents; behold, I have gained two more.’ His master said to him, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant; because you have been faithful over a few things, I will set you over many; enter into the joy of your master.’

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:
