  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

  eph 6:10-20

  Brothers and sisters:
  Draw your strength from the Lord and from his mighty power.
  Put on the armor of God so that you may be able to stand firm
  against the tactics of the Devil.
  For our struggle is not with flesh and blood
  but with the principalities, with the powers,
  with the world rulers of this present darkness,
  with the evil spirits in the heavens.
  Therefore, put on the armor of God,
  that you may be able to resist on the evil day
  and, having done everything, to hold your ground.
  So stand fast with your loins girded in truth,
  clothed with righteousness as a breastplate,
  and your feet shod in readiness for the Gospel of peace.
  In all circumstances, hold faith as a shield,
  to quench all the flaming arrows of the Evil One.
  And take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit,
  which is the word of God.
  
  With all prayer and supplication,
  pray at every opportunity in the Spirit.
  To that end, be watchful with all perseverance and supplication
  for all the holy ones and also for me,
  that speech may be given me to open my mouth,
  to make known with boldness the mystery of the Gospel
  for which I am an ambassador in chains,
  so that I may have the courage to speak as I must.
  

  RESPONSORIAL PSALM

  ps 144:1b, 2, 9-10

  R. (1b) Blessed be the Lord, my Rock!
  Blessed be the LORD, my rock,
  who trains my hands for battle, my fingers for war.
  R. Blessed be the Lord, my Rock!
  My mercy and my fortress,
  my stronghold, my deliverer,
  My shield, in whom I trust,
  who subdues my people under me.
  R. Blessed be the Lord, my Rock!
  O God, I will sing a new song to you;
  with a ten stringed lyre I will chant your praise,
  You who give victory to kings,
  and deliver David, your servant from the evil sword.
  R. Blessed be the Lord, my Rock!
  

  GOSPEL OF THE MASS

  lk 13:31-35

  Some Pharisees came to Jesus and said,
  “Go away, leave this area because Herod wants to kill you.”
  He replied, “Go and tell that fox,
  ‘Behold, I cast out demons and I perform healings today and tomorrow,
  and on the third day I accomplish my purpose.
  Yet I must continue on my way today, tomorrow, and the following day,
  for it is impossible that a prophet should die
  outside of Jerusalem.’
  
  “Jerusalem, Jerusalem,
  you who kill the prophets and stone those sent to you,
  how many times I yearned to gather your children together
  as a hen gathers her brood under her wings,
  but you were unwilling!
  Behold, your house will be abandoned.
  But I tell you, you will not see me until the time comes when you say,
  Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord.”
