First ReadingEzra 6:7-8, 12b, 14-20

From the Book of Ezra

7Leave the work of this house of God alone;let the governor of the Jewsand the elders of the Jews build this house of God in its place.8Moreover I make a decree regarding what you shall do for these elders of the Jews for the building of this house of God:that of the king’s goods,even of the tribute beyond the River,expenses must be given with all diligence to these men,that they not be hindered. verses 9–11 are not read12May the God who has caused his name to dwell there overthrow all kingsand peoples who stretch out their hand to alter this,to destroy this house of God which is at Jerusalem.I Darius have made a decree.Let it be done with all diligence.

verse 13 is not read14The elders of the Jews built and prospered,through the prophesying of Haggai the prophetand Zechariah the son of Iddo.They built and finished it,according to the commandment of the God of Israel,and according to the decree of Cyrus,Darius, and Artaxerxes king of Persia.15This house was finished on the third day of the month Adar,which was in the sixth year of the reign of Darius the king.

16The children of Israel,the priests, the Levites,and the rest of the children of the captivity,kept the dedication of this house of God with joy.17They offered at the dedication of this house of God one hundred bulls,two hundred rams, four hundred lambs;and for a sin offering for all Israel,twelve male goats,according to the number of the tribes of Israel.18They set the priests in their divisionsand the Levites in their courses,for the service of God which is at Jerusalem,as it is written in the book of Moses.

19The children of the captivity kept the Passover on the fourteenth day of the first month.20Because the priestsand the Levites had purified themselves together,all of them were pure.They killed the Passover for all the children of the captivity,for their brothers the priests,and for themselves.

Responsorial PsalmPsalm 122:1-2, 3-4ab, 4cd-5

1I was glad when they said to me,“Let’s go to the Lord’s house!”2Our feet are standing within your gates, Jerusalem!

3Jerusalem is built as a city that is compact together,4where the tribes go up, even the Lord’s tribes,

4according to an ordinance for Israel,to give thanks to the Lord’s name.5For there are set thrones for judgment,the thrones of David’s house.

GospelLuke 8:19-21

From the Gospel according to Luke

19His mother and brothers came to him,and they could not come near him for the crowd.20Some people told him,“Your mother and your brothers stand outside,desiring to see you.”

21But he answered them,“My mother and my brothers are thesewho hear the word of God and do it.”

EpistleLectio

Léctio Epístolæ beáti Petri Apóstoli

1 Pet 5:1-4; 5:10-11

Caríssimi: Senióres, qui in vobis sunt, obsécro consénior et testis Christi passiónum, qui et ejus, quæ in futúro revelánda est, glóriæ communicátor: páscite qui in vobis est gregem Dei, providéntes non coácte, sed spontánee secúndum Deum, neque turpis lucri grátia, sed voluntárie; neque ut dominántes in cleris, sed forma facti gregis ex ánimo. Et, cum apparúerit princeps pastórum, percipiétis immarcescíbilem glóriæ corónam. Deus autem omnis grátiæ, qui vocávit nos in ætérnam suam glóriam in Christo Jesu, módicum passos ipse perfíciet, confirmábit solidabítque. Ipsi glória et impérium in sǽcula sæculórum. Amen.

Lesson from the first letter of St Peter the Apostle

1 Pet 5:1-4; 5:10-11.

Dearly beloved brethren: The ancients therefore that are among you, I beseech, who am myself also an ancient, and a witness of the sufferings of Christ: as also a partaker of that glory which is to be revealed in time to come: Feed the flock of God which is among you, taking care of it, not by constraint, but willingly, according to God: not for filthy lucre's sake, but voluntarily: Neither as lording it over the clergy, but being made a pattern of the flock from the heart. And when the prince of pastors shall appear, you shall receive a never fading crown of glory. But the God of all grace, who hath called us into his eternal glory in Christ Jesus, after you have suffered a little, will himself perfect you, and confirm you, and establish you. To him be glory and empire for ever and ever. Amen.

GospelEvangelium

Sequéntia ☩ sancti Evangélii secúndum Matthǽum

Matt 16:13-19

In illo témpore: Venit Jesus in partes Cæsaréæ Philíppi, et interrogábat discípulos suos, dicens: Quem dicunt hómines esse Fílium hóminis? At illi dixérunt: Alii Joánnem Baptístam, alii autem Elíam, álii vero Jeremíam, aut unum ex prophétis. Dicit illis Jesus: Vos autem quem me esse dícitis? Respóndens Simon Petrus, dixit: Tu es Christus, Fílius Dei vivi. Respóndens autem Jesus, dixit ei: Beátus es, Simon Bar Jona: quia caro et sanguis non revelávit tibi, sed Pater meus, qui in cœlis est. Et ego dico tibi, quia tu es Petrus, et super hanc petram ædificábo Ecclésiam meam, et portæ ínferi non prævalébunt advérsus eam. Et tibi dabo claves regni cœlórum. Et quodcúmque ligáveris super terram, erit ligátum et in cœlis: et quodcúmque sólveris super terram, erit solútum et in cœlis.

Continuation ☩ of the Holy Gospel according to Matthew

Matt 16:13-19

In that time: Jesus came into the quarters of Caesarea Philippi: and he asked his disciples, saying: Whom do men say that the Son of man is? But they said: Some John the Baptist, and other some Elias, and others Jeremias, or one of the prophets. Jesus saith to them: But whom do you say that I am? Simon Peter answered and said: Thou art Christ, the Son of the living God. And Jesus answering, said to him: Blessed art thou, Simon Bar-Jona: because flesh and blood hath not revealed it to thee, but my Father who is in heaven. And I say to thee: That thou art Peter; and upon this rock I will build My Church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. And I will give to thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven. And whatsoever thou shalt bind upon earth, it shall be bound also in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose upon earth, it shall be loosed also in heaven.

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.

And do Thou command that it be permitted us to join with them in confessing Thee, while we say with lowly praise:
