First ReadingIsaiah 45:6c-8, 18, 21c-25

From the Book of Isaiah

6that they may know from the rising of the sun,and from the west,that there is no one besides me.I am the Lord, and there is no one else.7I form the lightand create darkness.I make peaceand create calamity.I am the Lord,who does all these things.8Rain, you heavens, from above,and let the skies pour down righteousness.Let the earth open, that it may produce salvation,and let it cause righteousness to spring up with it.I, the Lord, have created it. verses 9–17 are not read18For the Lord who created the heavens,the God who formed the earth and made it,who established it and didn’t create it a waste,who formed it to be inhabited says:“I am the Lord.There is no other. verses 19–20 are not read21Declare and present it.Yes, let them take counsel together.Who has shown this from ancient time?Who has declared it of old?Haven’t I, the Lord?There is no other God besides me, a just God and a Savior.There is no one besides me.22“Look to me, and be saved, all the ends of the earth;for I am God, and there is no other.23I have sworn by myself.The word has gone out of my mouth in righteousness, and will not be revoked,that to me every knee shall bow,every tongue shall take an oath.24They will say of me,‘There is righteousness and strength only in the Lord.’”Even to him will men come.All those who raged against him will be disappointed.25All the offspring of Israel will be justified in the Lord,and will rejoice!

Responsorial PsalmPsalm 85:9ab, 10, 11-12, 13-14

9I will hear what God, the Lord, will speak,for he will speak peace to his people, his saints;but let them not turn again to folly.

10Surely his salvation is near those who fear him,that glory may dwell in our land.

11Mercy and truth meet together.Righteousness and peace have kissed each other.12Truth springs out of the earth.Righteousness has looked down from heaven.

13Yes, the Lord will give that which is good.Our land will yield its increase.14Righteousness goes before him,and prepares the way for his steps.

GospelLuke 7:18b-23

From the Gospel according to Luke

18The disciples of John told him about all these things.19John, calling to himself two of his disciples,sent them to Jesus,saying, “Are you the one who is coming,or should we look for another?”20When the men had come to him,they said, “John the Baptizer has sent us to you,saying, ‘Are you he who comes,or should we look for another?’”

21In that hour he cured many of diseasesand plagues and evil spirits;and to many who were blind he gave sight.22Jesus answered them,“Go and tell John the thingswhich you have seen and heard:that the blind receive their sight,the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed,the deaf hear, the dead are raised up,and the poor have good news preached to them.23Blessed is he who finds no occasion for stumbling in me.”

Léctio Isaíæ Prophétæ

Is 2:2-5.

In diébus illis: Dixit Isaias Prophéta: Erit in novíssimis diébus præparátus mons domus Dómini in vértice móntium, et elevábitur super colles, et fluent ad eum omnes gentes. Et ibunt pópuli multi, et dicent: Veníte et ascendámus ad montem Dómini, et ad domum Dei Jacob, et docébit nos vias suas, et ambulábimus in sémitis ejus: quia de Sion exíbit lex, et verbum Dómini de Jerúsalem. Et judicábit gentes, et árguet pópulos multos: et conflábunt gládios suos in vómeres, et lánceas suas in falces. Non levábit gens contra gentem gládium: nec exercebúntur ultra ad prǽlium. Domus Jacob, veníte, et ambulémus in lúmine Dómini, Dei nostri.

Deo gratias.

Lesson from the book of Isaias

Isa. 2:2-5

In those days the prophet Isaiah said: In days to come, the mountain of the Lord’s house shall be established as the highest mountain and raised above the hills. All nations shall stream toward it; many peoples shall come and say: ‘Come, let us climb the Lord’s mountain, to the house of the God of Jacob, that He may instruct us in His ways, and we may walk in His paths.’ For from Sion shall go forth instruction, and the word of the Lord from Jerusalem. He shall judge between the nations, and impose terms on many peoples. They shall beat their swords into plowshares and their spears into pruning hooks; one nation shall not raise the sword against another, nor shall they train for war again. O house of Jacob, come, let us walk in the light of the Lord, our God.

Thanks be to God.

Ps 23:7; 23:3-4

Lift up, O gates, your lintels; reach up, you ancient portals, that the King of glory may come in!

℣.Who can ascend the mountain of the Lord? or who may stand in His holy place? He whose hands are sinless, whose heart is clean.

Lectio Isaíæ Prophétæ

Is 7:10-15

In diébus illis: Locútus est Dóminus ad Achaz, dicens: Pete tibi signum a Dómino, Deo tuo, in profúndum inférni, sive in excélsum supra. Et dixit Achaz: Non petam et non tentábo Dóminum. Et dixit: Audíte ergo, domus David: Numquid parum vobis est, moléstos esse homínibus, quia molesti estis et Deo meo? Propter hoc dabit Dóminus ipse vobis signum. Ecce, Virgo concípiet et páriet fílium, et vocábitur nomen ejus Emmánuel. Butýrum et mel cómedet, ut sciat reprobare malum et elígere bonum.

Lesson from the book of Isaias

Isa 7:10-15

In those days, the Lord spoke to Achaz: Ask for a sign from the Lord, your God; let it be deep as the nether world, or high as the sky! But Achaz answered, I will not ask! I will not tempt the Lord! Then he said, Listen, O house of David! Is it not enough for you to weary men, must you also weary my God? Therefore the Lord Himself will give you this sign: the virgin shall be with child, and bear a Son, and shall name Him Emmanuel. He shall be living on curds and honey by the time He learns to reject the bad and choose the good.

GospelEvangelium

Sequéntia ☩ sancti Evangélii secundum Lucam

Luc 1:26-38

In illo tempore: Missus est Angelus Gábriel a Deo in civitatem Galilǽæ, cui nomen Názareth, ad Vírginem desponsátam viro, cui nomen erat Joseph, de domo David, et nomen Vírginis María. Et ingréssus Angelus ad eam, dixit: Ave, grátia plena; Dóminus tecum: benedícta tu in muliéribus. Quæ cum audísset, turbáta est in sermóne ejus: et cogitábat, qualis esset ista salutátio. Et ait Angelus ei: Ne tímeas, María, invenísti enim grátiam apud Deum: ecce, concípies in útero, et páries fílium, et vocábis nomen ejus Jesum. Hic erit magnus, et Fílius Altíssimi vocábitur, et dabit illi Dóminus Deus sedem David, patris ejus: et regnábit in domo Jacob in ætérnum, et regni ejus non erit finis. Dixit autem María ad Angelum: Quómodo fiet istud, quóniam virum non cognósco? Et respóndens Angelus, dixit ei: Spíritus Sanctus supervéniet in te, et virtus Altíssimi obumbrábit tibi. Ideóque et quod nascétur ex te Sanctum, vocábitur Fílius Dei. Et ecce, Elísabeth, cognáta tua, et ipsa concépit fílium in senectúte sua: et hic mensis sextus est illi, quæ vocátur stérilis: quia non erit impossíbile apud Deum omne verbum. Dixit autem María: Ecce ancílla Dómini, fiat mihi secúndum verbum tuum.

Continuation ☩ of the Holy Gospel according to Luke

Luke 1:26-38

At that time, the angel Gabriel was sent from God to a town of Galilee called Nazareth, to a virgin betrothed to a man named Joseph, of the house of David, and the virgin’s name was Mary. And when the angel had come to her, he said, Hail, full of grace, the Lord is with you. Blessed are you among women. When she had heard him she was troubled at his word, and kept pondering what manner of greeting this might be. And the angel said to her, Do not be afraid, Mary, for you have found grace with God. Behold, you shall conceive in your womb and shall bring forth a son; and you shall call His name Jesus. He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the most High; and the Lord God will give Him the throne of David His father, and He shall be king over the house of Jacob forever; and of His kingdom there shall be no end. But Mary said to the angel, How shall this happen, since I do not know man? And the angel answered and said to her, The Holy Spirit shall come upon you, and the power of the Most High shall overshadow you, and therefore the Holy One to be born shall be called the Son of God. And, behold, Elizabeth your kinswoman also has conceived a son in her old age, and she who was called barren is now in her sixth month; for nothing shall be impossible with God. But Mary said: Behold the handmaid of the Lord; be it done to me according to your word.

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:
