  FIRST LECTURE OF THE MASS

  Revelation 7:2-4, 9-14

  2Then I saw another angel ascend from the rising of the sun, with the seal of the living God, and he called with a loud voice to the four angels who had been given power to harm earth and sea, 3saying, "Do not harm the earth or the sea or the trees, till we have sealed the servants of our God upon their foreheads." 4And I heard the number of the sealed, a hundred and forty-four thousand sealed, out of every tribe of the sons of Israel, 9After this I looked, and behold, a great multitude which no man could number, from every nation, from all tribes and peoples and tongues, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, clothed in white robes, with palm branches in their hands, 10and crying out with a loud voice, "Salvation belongs to our God who sits upon the throne, and to the Lamb!" 11And all the angels stood round the throne and round the elders and the four living creatures, and they fell on their faces before the throne and worshiped God, 12saying, "Amen! Blessing and glory and wisdom and thanksgiving and honor and power and might be to our God for ever and ever! Amen." 13Then one of the elders addressed me, saying, "Who are these, clothed in white robes, and whence have they come?" 14I said to him, "Sir, you know." And he said to me, "These are they who have come out of the great tribulation;they have washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.

  RESPONSORIAL PSALM

  Psalms 24:1-6

  1The earth is the LORD's and the fulness thereof, the world and those who dwell therein;2for he has founded it upon the seas, and established it upon the rivers. 3Who shall ascend the hill of the LORD? And who shall stand in his holy place? 4He who has clean hands and a pure heart, who does not lift up his soul to what is false, and does not swear deceitfully. 5He will receive blessing from the LORD, and vindication from the God of his salvation. 6Such is the generation of those who seek him, who seek the face of the God of Jacob. [Selah]

  SECOND LECTURE OF THE MASS

  1 John 3:1-3

  1See what love the Father has given us, that we should be called children of God;and so we are. The reason why the world does not know us is that it did not know him. 2Beloved, we are God's children now;it does not yet appear what we shall be, but we know that when he appears we shall be like him, for we shall see him as he is. 3And every one who thus hopes in him purifies himself as he is pure.

  GOSPEL OF THE MASS

  Matthew 5:1-12

  1Seeing the crowds, he went up on the mountain, and when he sat down his disciples came to him. 2And he opened his mouth and taught them, saying: 3"Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. 4"Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted. 5"Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth. 6"Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be satisfied. 7"Blessed are the merciful, for they shall obtain mercy. 8"Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God. 9"Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called sons of God. 10"Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness' sake, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. 11"Blessed are you when men revile you and persecute you and utter all kinds of evil against you falsely on my account. 12Rejoice and be glad, for your reward is great in heaven, for so men persecuted the prophets who were before you.

  Ordinary Time.

  FIRST LECTURE OF THE MASS

  Rom 8:26-30

  Brothers and sisters:
  The Spirit comes to the aid of our weakness;
  for we do not know how to pray as we ought,
  but the Spirit himself intercedes with inexpressible groanings.
  And the one who searches hearts
  knows what is the intention of the Spirit,
  because he intercedes for the holy ones
  according to God’s will.
  
  We know that all things work for good for those who love God,
  who are called according to his purpose.
  For those he foreknew he also predestined
  to be conformed to the image of his Son,
  so that he might be the firstborn
  among many brothers.
  And those he predestined he also called;
  and those he called he also justified;
  and those he justified he also glorified.
  
  

  RESPONSORIAL PSALM

  Ps 13:4-5, 6

  R. (6a) My hope, O Lord, is in your mercy.
  Look, answer me, O LORD, my God!
  Give light to my eyes that I may not sleep in death
  lest my enemy say, “I have overcome him”;
  lest my foes rejoice at my downfall.
  R. My hope, O Lord, is in your mercy.
  Though I trusted in your mercy,
  Let my heart rejoice in your salvation;
  let me sing of the LORD, “He has been good to me.”
  R. My hope, O Lord, is in your mercy.
  
  

  GOSPEL OF THE MASS

  Lk 13:22-30

  Jesus passed through towns and villages,
  teaching as he went and making his way to Jerusalem.
  Someone asked him,
  "Lord, will only a few people be saved?"
  He answered them,
  "Strive to enter through the narrow gate,
  for many, I tell you, will attempt to enter
  but will not be strong enough.
  After the master of the house has arisen and locked the door,
  then will you stand outside knocking and saying,
  'Lord, open the door for us.'
  He will say to you in reply,
  'I do not know where you are from.'
  And you will say,
  'We ate and drank in your company and you taught in our streets.'
  Then he will say to you,
  'I do not know where you are from.
  Depart from me, all you evildoers!'
  And there will be wailing and grinding of teeth
  when you see Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob
  and all the prophets in the Kingdom of God
  and you yourselves cast out.
  And people will come from the east and the west
  and from the north and the south
  and will recline at table in the Kingdom of God.
  For behold, some are last who will be first,
  and some are first who will be last."
