First ReadingIsaiah 55:6-9

From the Book of Isaiah

6Seek the Lord while he may be found.Call on him while he is near.7Let the wicked forsake his way,and the unrighteous man his thoughts.Let him return to the Lord, and he will have mercy on him,to our God, for he will freely pardon.8“For my thoughts are not your thoughts,and your ways are not my ways,” says the Lord.9“For as the heavens are higher than the earth,so are my ways higher than your ways,and my thoughts than your thoughts.

Responsorial PsalmPsalm 145:2-3, 8-9, 17-18

2Every day I will praise you.I will extol your name forever and ever.3Great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised!His greatness is unsearchable.

8The Lord is gracious, merciful,slow to anger, and of great loving kindness.9The Lord is good to all.His tender mercies are over all his works.

17The Lord is righteous in all his ways,and gracious in all his works.18The Lord is near to all those who call on him,to all who call on him in truth.

Second ReadingPhilippians 1:20c-24, 27a

From the Letter of Paul to the Philippians

20according to my earnest expectation and hope,that I will in no way be disappointed,but with all boldness,as always, now also Christ will be magnified in my body,whether by life or by death.21For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain.22But if I live on in the flesh,this will bring fruit from my work;yet I don’t know what I will choose.23But I am hard pressed between the two,having the desire to depart and be with Christ,which is far better.24Yet to remain in the flesh is more needful for your sake.

verses 25–26 are not read27Only let your way of life be worthy of the Good News of Christ,that whether I come and see you or am absent,I may hear of your state,that you stand firm in one spirit,with one soul striving for the faith of the Good News;

GospelMatthew 20:1-16a

From the Gospel according to Matthew

1“For the Kingdom of Heaven is like a manwho was the master of a household,who went out early in the morning to hire laborers for his vineyard.2When he had agreed with the laborers for a denarius a day,he sent them into his vineyard.3He went out about the third hour,and saw others standing idle in the marketplace.4He said to them, ‘You also go into the vineyard,and whatever is right I will give you.’So they went their way.5Again he went out about the sixthand the ninth hour, and did likewise.6About the eleventh hour he went outand found others standing idle.He said to them, ‘Why do you stand here all day idle?’

7“They said to him, ‘Because no one has hired us.’

“He said to them, ‘You also go into the vineyard,and you will receive whatever is right.’

8“When evening had come,the lord of the vineyard said to his manager,‘Call the laborers and pay them their wages,beginning from the last to the first.’9“When those who were hired at about the eleventh hour came,they each received a denarius.10When the first came,they supposed that they would receive more;and they likewise each received a denarius.11When they received it,they murmured against the master of the household,12saying, ‘These last have spent one hour,and you have made them equal to uswho have borne the burden of the dayand the scorching heat!’

13“But he answered one of them,‘Friend, I am doing you no wrong.Didn’t you agree with me for a denarius?14Take that which is yours, and go your way.It is my desire to give to this last just as much as to you.15Isn’t it lawful for me to do what I want to with what I own?Or is your eye evil, because I am good?’16So the last will be first, and the first last.For many are called, but few are chosen.”

EpistleLectio

Léctio Epístolæ beáti Pauli Apóstoli ad Ephésios

Ephes 3:13-21

Fratres: Obsecro vos, ne deficiátis in tribulatiónibus meis pro vobis: quæ est glória vestra. Hujus rei grátia flecto génua mea ad Patrem Dómini nostri Jesu Christi, ex quo omnis patérnitas in cœlis et in terra nominátur, ut det vobis secúndum divítias glóriæ suæ, virtúte corroborári per Spíritum ejus in interiórem hóminem, Christum habitáre per fidem in córdibus vestris: in caritáte radicáti et fundáti, ut póssitis comprehéndere cum ómnibus sanctis, quæ sit latitúdo et longitúdo et sublímitas et profúndum: scire étiam supereminéntem sciéntiæ caritátem Christi, ut impleámini in omnem plenitúdinem Dei. Ei autem, qui potens est ómnia fácere superabundánter, quam pétimus aut intellégimus, secúndum virtútem, quæ operátur in nobis: ipsi glória in Ecclésia et in Christo Jesu, in omnes generatiónes sǽculi sæculórum. Amen.

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

Eph 3:13-21

Brethren: I pray you not to be disheartened at my tribulations for you, for they are your glory. For this reason I bend my knees to the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, from Whom all fatherhood in heaven and on earth receives its name, that He may grant you from His glorious riches to be strengthened with power through His Spirit unto the progress of the inner man; and to have Christ dwelling through faith in your hearts: so that, being rooted and grounded in love, you may be able to comprehend with all the saints what is the breadth and length and height and depth, and to know Christ’s love which surpasses knowledge, in order that you may be filled unto all the fullness of God. Now, to Him Who is able to accomplish all things in a measure far beyond what we ask or conceive, in keeping with the power that is at work in us - to Him be glory in the Church and in Christ Jesus down through all the ages of time without end. Amen.

GospelEvangelium

Sequéntia ☩ sancti Evangélii secúndum Lucam.

Luc 14:1-11

In illo témpore: Cum intráret Jesus in domum cujúsdam príncipis pharisæórum sábbato manducáre panem, et ipsi observábant eum. Et ecce, homo quidam hydrópicus erat ante illum. Et respóndens Jesus dixit ad legisperítos et pharisǽos, dicens: Si licet sábbato curáre? At illi tacuérunt. Ipse vero apprehénsum sanávit eum ac dimísit. Et respóndens ad illos, dixit: Cujus vestrum ásinus aut bos in púteum cadet, et non contínuo éxtrahet illum die sábbati? Et non póterant ad hæc respóndere illi. Dicebat autem et ad invitátos parábolam, inténdens, quómodo primos accúbitus elígerent, dicens ad illos: Cum invitátus fúeris ad núptias, non discúmbas in primo loco, ne forte honorátior te sit invitátus ab illo, et véniens is, qui te et illum vocávit, dicat tibi: Da huic locum: et tunc incípias cum rubóre novíssimum locum tenére. Sed cum vocátus fúeris, vade, recúmbe in novíssimo loco: ut, cum vénerit, qui te invitávit, dicat tibi: Amíce, ascénde supérius. Tunc erit tibi glória coram simul discumbéntibus: quia omnis, qui se exáltat, humiliábitur: et qui se humíliat, exaltábitur.

Continuation ☩ of the Holy Gospel according to Luke

Luke 14:1-11

At that time, when Jesus entered the house of one of the rulers of the Pharisees on the Sabbath to take food, they watched Him. And behold, there was a certain man before Him who had the dropsy. And Jesus asked the lawyers and Pharisees, saying, Is it lawful to cure on the Sabbath? But they remained silent. And He took and healed him and let him go. Then addressing them, He said, Which of you shall have an ass or an ox fall into a pit, and will not immediately draw him up on the Sabbath? And they could give Him no answer to these things. But He also spoke a parable to those invited, observing how they were choosing the first places at table, and He said to them, When you are invited to a wedding feast, do not recline in the first place, lest perhaps one more distinguished than you have been invited by him, and he who invited you and him come and say to you, ‘Make room for this man’; and then you begin with shame to take the last place. But when you are invited go and recline in the last place; that when he who invited you comes in, he may say to you, ‘Friend, go up higher!’ Then you will be honored in the presence of all who are at table with you. For everyone who exalts himself shall be humbled, and he who humbles himself shall be exalted.

PrefacePrefatio

de sanctissima Trinitate

Vere dignum et justum est, æquum et salutáre, nos tibi semper et ubíque grátias ágere: Dómine sancte, Pater omnípotens, ætérne Deus: Qui cum unigénito Fílio tuo et Spíritu Sancto unus es Deus, unus es Dóminus: non in uníus singularitáte persónæ, sed in uníus Trinitáte substántiæ. Quod enim de tua glória, revelánte te, crédimus, hoc de Fílio tuo, hoc de Spíritu Sancto sine differéntia discretiónis sentímus. Ut in confessióne veræ sempiternǽque Deitátis, et in persónis propríetas, et in esséntia únitas, et in majestáte adorétur æquálitas. Quam laudant Angeli atque Archángeli, Chérubim quoque ac Séraphim: qui non cessant clamáre cotídie, una voce dicéntes:

Holy Trinity

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, together with Thine only-begotten Son, and the Holy Ghost, art one God, one Lord: not in the oneness of a single Person, but in the Trinity of one substance. For what we believe by Thy revelation of Thy glory, the same do we believe of Thy Son, the same of the Holy Ghost, without difference or separation. So that in confessing the true and everlasting Godhead, distinction in persons, unity in essence, and equality in majesty may be adored. Which the Angels and Archangels, the Cherubim also and Seraphim do praise: who cease not daily to cry out, with one voice saying:

Ps 70:16-18

O Lord, I will tell of Your singular justice; O God, You have taught me from my youth; and now that I am old and gray, O God, forsake me not.

Purífica, quǽsumus, Dómine, mentes nostras benígnus, et rénova cœléstibus sacraméntis: ut consequénter et córporum præsens páriter et futúrum capiámus auxílium.
