  FIRST LECTURE OF THE MASS

  2 Cor 9:6-10

  Brothers and sisters:
  Whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly,
  and whoever sows bountifully will also reap bountifully.
  Each must do as already determined, without sadness or compulsion,
  for God loves a cheerful giver.
  Moreover, God is able to make every grace abundant for you,
  so that in all things, always having all you need,
  you may have an abundance for every good work.
  As it is written:
  
  He scatters abroad, he gives to the poor;
  his righteousness endures forever.
  
  The one who supplies seed to the sower and bread for food
  will supply and multiply your seed
  and increase the harvest of your righteousness.
  
  

  RESPONSORIAL PSALM

  PS 112:1-2, 5-6, 7-8, 9

  R. (5) Blessed the man who is gracious and lends to those in need.
  Blessed the man who fears the LORD,
  who greatly delights in his commands.
  His posterity shall be mighty upon the earth;
  the upright generation shall be blessed.
  R. Blessed the man who is gracious and lends to those in need.
  Well for the man who is gracious and lends,
  who conducts his affairs with justice;
  He shall never be moved;
  the just one shall be in everlasting remembrance.
  R. Blessed the man who is gracious and lends to those in need.
  An evil report he shall not fear;
  his heart is firm, trusting in the LORD.
  His heart is steadfast; he shall not fear
  till he looks down upon his foes.
  R. Blessed the man who is gracious and lends to those in need.
  Lavishly he gives to the poor,
  his generosity shall endure forever;
  his horn shall be exalted in glory.
  R. Blessed the man who is gracious and lends to those in need.
  
  

  GOSPEL OF THE MASS

  Jn 12:24-26

  Jesus said to his disciples:
  “Amen, amen, I say to you,
  unless a grain of wheat falls to the ground and dies,
  it remains just a grain of wheat;
  but if it dies, it produces much fruit.
  Whoever loves his life loses it,
  and whoever hates his life in this world
  will preserve it for eternal life.
  Whoever serves me must follow me,
  and where I am, there also will my servant be.
  The Father will honor whoever serves me.”

  FIRST LECTURE OF THE MASS

  Wis 18:6-9

  The night of the passover was known beforehand to our fathers,
  that, with sure knowledge of the oaths in which they put their faith,
  they might have courage.
  Your people awaited the salvation of the just
  and the destruction of their foes.
  For when you punished our adversaries,
  in this you glorified us whom you had summoned.
  For in secret the holy children of the good were offering sacrifice
  and putting into effect with one accord the divine institution.
  

  RESPONSORIAL PSALM

  Ps 33:1, 12, 18-19, 20-22

  R. (12b)
  Blessed the people the Lord has chosen to be his own.
  Exult, you just, in the LORD;
  praise from the upright is fitting.
  Blessed the nation whose God is the LORD,
  the people he has chosen for his own inheritance.
  R.Blessed the people the Lord has chosen to be his own.
  See, the eyes of the LORD are upon those who fear him,
  upon those who hope for his kindness,
  To deliver them from death
  and preserve them in spite of famine.
  R.Blessed the people the Lord has chosen to be his own.
  Our soul waits for the LORD,
  who is our help and our shield.
  May your kindness, O LORD, be upon us
  who have put our hope in you.
  R.Blessed the people the Lord has chosen to be his own.
  

  SECOND LECTURE OF THE MASS

  HEB 11:1-2, 8-12

  Brothers and sisters:
  Faith is the realization of what is hoped for
  and evidence of things not seen.
  Because of it the ancients were well attested.
  By faith Abraham obeyed when he was called to go out to a place
  that he was to receive as an inheritance;
  he went out, not knowing where he was to go.
  By faith he sojourned in the promised land as in a foreign country,
  dwelling in tents with Isaac and Jacob, heirs of the same promise;
  for he was looking forward to the city with foundations,
  whose architect and maker is God.
  By faith he received power to generate,
  even though he was past the normal age
  —and Sarah herself was sterile—
  for he thought that the one who had made the promise was
  trustworthy.
  So it was that there came forth from one man,
  himself as good as dead,
  descendants as numerous as the stars in the sky
  and as countless as the sands on the seashore.
  

  GOSPEL OF THE MASS

  Lk 12:32-48

  Jesus said to his disciples:
  "Do not be afraid any longer, little flock,
  for your Father is pleased to give you the kingdom.
  Sell your belongings and give alms.
  Provide money bags for yourselves that do not wear out,
  an inexhaustible treasure in heaven
  that no thief can reach nor moth destroy.
  For where your treasure is, there also will your heart be.
  "Gird your loins and light your lamps
  and be like servants who await their master’s return from a wedding,
  ready to open immediately when he comes and knocks.
  Blessed are those servants
  whom the master finds vigilant on his arrival.
  Amen, I say to you, he will gird himself,
  have them recline at table, and proceed to wait on them.
  And should he come in the second or third watch
  and find them prepared in this way,
  blessed are those servants.
  Be sure of this:
  if the master of the house had known the hour
  when the thief was coming,
  he would not have let his house be broken into.
  You also must be prepared, for at an hour you do not expect,
  the Son of Man will come."
  Then Peter said,
  "Lord, is this parable meant for us or for everyone?"
  And the Lord replied,
  "Who, then, is the faithful and prudent steward
  whom the master will put in charge of his servants
  to distribute the food allowance at the proper time?
  Blessed is that servant whom his master on arrival finds doing so.
  Truly, I say to you, the master will put the servant
  in charge of all his property.
  But if that servant says to himself,
  ‘My master is delayed in coming,’
  and begins to beat the menservants and the maidservants,
  to eat and drink and get drunk,
  then that servant’s master will come
  on an unexpected day and at an unknown hour
  and will punish the servant severely
  and assign him a place with the unfaithful.
  That servant who knew his master’s will
  but did not make preparations nor act in accord with his will
  shall be beaten severely;
  and the servant who was ignorant of his master’s will
  but acted in a way deserving of a severe beating
  shall be beaten only lightly.
  Much will be required of the person entrusted with much,
  and still more will be demanded of the person entrusted with more."
