First ReadingActs 13:46-49

From the Acts of the Apostles

46Paul and Barnabas spoke out boldly,and said, “It was necessarythat God’s word should be spoken to you first.Since indeed you thrust it from yourselves,and judge yourselves unworthy of eternal life,behold, we turn to the Gentiles.47For so has the Lord commanded us, saying,

‘I have set you as a light for the Gentiles,that you should bring salvation to the uttermost parts of the earth.’”

48As the Gentiles heard this,they were glad and glorified the word of God.As many as were appointed to eternal life believed.49The Lord’s word was spread abroad throughout all the region.

Responsorial PsalmPsalm 117:1bc, 2

1Praise the Lord, all you nations!Extol him, all you peoples!

2For his loving kindness is great toward us.The Lord’s faithfulness endures forever.Praise the Lord!

GospelLuke 10:1-9

From the Gospel according to Luke

1Now after these things,the Lord also appointed seventy others,and sent them two by two ahead of him into every cityand place where he was about to come.2Then he said to them,“The harvest is indeed plentiful,but the laborers are few.Pray therefore to the Lord of the harvest,that he may send out laborers into his harvest.3Go your ways.Behold, I send you out as lambs among wolves.4Carry no purse, nor wallet, nor sandals.Greet no one on the way.5Into whatever house you enter,first say, ‘Peace be to this house.’6If a son of peace is there, your peace will rest on him;but if not, it will return to you.7Remain in that same house,eating and drinking the things they give,for the laborer is worthy of his wages.Don’t go from house to house.8Into whatever city you enter and they receive you,eat the things that are set before you.9Heal the sick who are there and tell them,‘God’s Kingdom has come near to you.’

Eccli 24:14-16

Ab inítio et ante sǽcula creáta sum, et usque ad futúrum sǽculum non désinam, et in habitatióne sancta coram ipso ministrávi. Et sic in Sion firmáta sum, et in civitáte sanctificáta simíliter requiévi, et in Jerúsalem potéstas mea.

Lesson from the book of Ecclesiasticus

Ecclus 24:14-16

Before all ages, in the beginning, He created me, and through all ages I shall not cease to be. In the holy Tent I ministered before Him, and in Sion I fixed my abode. Thus in the chosen city He has given me rest, in Jerusalem is my domain. I have struck root among the glorious people, in the portion of my God, His heritage, and my abode is in the full assembly of Saints.

PrefacePrefatio

de Beata Maria Virgine

Vere dignum et justum est, æquum et salutáre, nos tibi semper et ubíque grátias ágere: Dómine sancte, Pater omnípotens, ætérne Deus: Et te in veneratione beátæ Maríæ semper Vírginis collaudáre, benedícere et prædicáre. Quæ et Unigénitum tuum Sancti Spíritus obumbratióne concépit: et, virginitátis glória permanénte, lumen ætérnum mundo effúdit, Jesum Christum, Dóminum nostrum. Per quem majestátem tuam laudant Angeli, adórant Dominatiónes, tremunt Potestátes. Cæli cælorúmque Virtútes ac beáta Séraphim sócia exsultatióne concélebrant. Cum quibus et nostras voces ut admítti jubeas, deprecámur, súpplici confessióne dicéntes:

Blessed Virgin

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: and that we should praise and bless, and proclaim Thee, in the veneration of the Blessed Mary, ever-Virgin: Who also conceived Thine only-begotten Son by the overshadowing of the Holy Ghost, and the glory of her virginity still abiding, gave forth to the world the everlasting Light, Jesus Christ our Lord. Through whom the Angels praise Thy Majesty, the Dominations worship it, and the Powers stand in awe. The Heavens and the heavenly hosts together with the blessed Seraphim in triumphant chorus unite to celebrate it. Together with these we entreat Thee that Thou mayest bid our voices also to be admitted while we say with lowly praise:
