  FIRST LECTURE OF THE MASS

  Ephesians 1:1-10

  1Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God, To the saints who are also faithful in Christ Jesus: 2Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. 3Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in Christ with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places, 4even as he chose us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and blameless before him. 5He destined us in love to be his sons through Jesus Christ, according to the purpose of his will, 6to the praise of his glorious grace which he freely bestowed on us in the Beloved. 7In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of his grace 8which he lavished upon us. 9For he has made known to us in all wisdom and insight the mystery of his will, according to his purpose which he set forth in Christ 10as a plan for the fulness of time, to unite all things in him, things in heaven and things on earth.

  RESPONSORIAL PSALM

  Psalms 98:1-6

  1O sing to the LORD a new song, for he has done marvelous things! His right hand and his holy arm have gotten him victory. 2The LORD has made known his victory, he has revealed his vindication in the sight of the nations. 3He has remembered his steadfast love and faithfulness to the house of Israel. All the ends of the earth have seen the victory of our God. 4Make a joyful noise to the LORD, all the earth;break forth into joyous song and sing praises! 5Sing praises to the LORD with the lyre, with the lyre and the sound of melody! 6With trumpets and the sound of the horn make a joyful noise before the King, the LORD!

  SECOND LECTURE OF THE MASS

  Luke 11:47-54

  47Woe to you! for you build the tombs of the prophets whom your fathers killed. 48So you are witnesses and consent to the deeds of your fathers;for they killed them, and you build their tombs. 49Therefore also the Wisdom of God said, `I will send them prophets and apostles, some of whom they will kill and persecute,' 50that the blood of all the prophets, shed from the foundation of the world, may be required of this generation, 51from the blood of Abel to the blood of Zechari'ah, who perished between the altar and the sanctuary. Yes, I tell you, it shall be required of this generation. 52Woe to you lawyers! for you have taken away the key of knowledge;you did not enter yourselves, and you hindered those who were entering." 53As he went away from there, the scribes and the Pharisees began to press him hard, and to provoke him to speak of many things, 54lying in wait for him, to catch at something he might say.

  FIRST LECTURE OF THE MASS

  Rom 1:1-7

  Paul, a slave of Christ Jesus,
  called to be an Apostle and set apart for the Gospel of God,
  which he promised previously through his prophets in the holy Scriptures,
  the Gospel about his Son, descended from David according to the flesh,
  but established as Son of God in power
  according to the Spirit of holiness
  through resurrection from the dead, Jesus Christ our Lord.
  Through him we have received the grace of apostleship,
  to bring about the obedience of faith,
  for the sake of his name, among all the Gentiles,
  among whom are you also, who are called to belong to Jesus Christ;
  to all the beloved of God in Rome, called to be holy.
  Grace to you and peace from God our Father
  and the Lord Jesus Christ.

  GOSPEL OF THE MASS

  Lk 11:29-32

  While still more people gathered in the crowd, Jesus said to them,
  "This generation is an evil generation;
  it seeks a sign, but no sign will be given it,
  except the sign of Jonah.
  Just as Jonah became a sign to the Ninevites,
  so will the Son of Man be to this generation.
  At the judgment
  the queen of the south will rise with the men of this generation
  and she will condemn them,
  because she came from the ends of the earth
  to hear the wisdom of Solomon,
  and there is something greater than Solomon here.
  At the judgment the men of Nineveh will arise with this generation
  and condemn it,
  because at the preaching of Jonah they repented,
  and there is something greater than Jonah here."
