  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.

  Ordinary Time.

  FIRST LECTURE OF THE MASS

  Eph 1:11-14

  Brothers and sisters:
  In Christ we were also chosen,
  destined in accord with the purpose of the One
  who accomplishes all things according to the intention of his will,
  so that we might exist for the praise of his glory,
  we who first hoped in Christ.
  In him you also, who have heard the word of truth,
  the Gospel of your salvation, and have believed in him,
  were sealed with the promised Holy Spirit,
  which is the first installment of our inheritance
  toward redemption as God's possession, to the praise of his glory.
  

  RESPONSORIAL PSALM

  Ps 33:1-2, 4-5, 12-13

  R. (12) Blessed the people the Lord has chosen to be his own.
  Exult, you just, in the LORD;
  praise from the upright is fitting.
  Give thanks to the LORD on the harp;
  with the ten stringed lyre chant his praises.
  R. Blessed the people the Lord has chosen to be his own.
  For upright is the word of the LORD,
  and all his works are trustworthy.
  He loves justice and right;
  of the kindness of the LORD the earth is full.
  R. Blessed the people the Lord has chosen to be his own.
  Blessed the nation whose God is the LORD,
  the people he has chosen for his own inheritance.
  From heaven the LORD looks down;
  he sees all mankind.
  R. Blessed the people the Lord has chosen to be his own.

  GOSPEL OF THE MASS

  Lk 12:1-7

  At that time:
  So many people were crowding together
  that they were trampling one another underfoot.
  Jesus began to speak, first to his disciples,
  "Beware of the leaven--that is, the hypocrisy--of the Pharisees.
  
  "There is nothing concealed that will not be revealed,
  nor secret that will not be known.
  Therefore whatever you have said in the darkness
  will be heard in the light,
  and what you have whispered behind closed doors
  will be proclaimed on the housetops.
  I tell you, my friends,
  do not be afraid of those who kill the body
  but after that can do no more.
  I shall show you whom to fear.
  Be afraid of the one who after killing
  has the power to cast into Gehenna;
  yes, I tell you, be afraid of that one.
  Are not five sparrows sold for two small coins?
  Yet not one of them has escaped the notice of God.
  Even the hairs of your head have all been counted.
  Do not be afraid.
  You are worth more than many sparrows."
