  FIRST LECTURE OF THE MASS

  1 Timothy 5:3-10

  3Honor widows who are real widows. 4If a widow has children or grandchildren, let them first learn their religious duty to their own family and make some return to their parents;for this is acceptable in the sight of God. 5She who is a real widow, and is left all alone, has set her hope on God and continues in supplications and prayers night and day;6whereas she who is self-indulgent is dead even while she lives. 7Command this, so that they may be without reproach. 8If any one does not provide for his relatives, and especially for his own family, he has disowned the faith and is worse than an unbeliever. 9Let a widow be enrolled if she is not less than sixty years of age, having been the wife of one husband;10and she must be well attested for her good deeds, as one who has brought up children, shown hospitality, washed the feet of the saints, relieved the afflicted, and devoted herself to doing good in every way.

  SECOND LECTURE OF THE MASS

  Psalms 31:4-5, 8-9, 20, 24-25

  3Yea, thou art my rock and my fortress;for thy name's sake lead me and guide me, 4take me out of the net which is hidden for me, for thou art my refuge. 7I will rejoice and be glad for thy steadfast love, because thou hast seen my affliction, thou hast taken heed of my adversities, 8and hast not delivered me into the hand of the enemy;thou hast set my feet in a broad place. 19O how abundant is thy goodness, which thou hast laid up for those who fear thee, and wrought for those who take refuge in thee, in the sight of the sons of men! 23Love the LORD, all you his saints! The LORD preserves the faithful, but abundantly requites him who acts haughtily. 24Be strong, and let your heart take courage, all you who wait for the LORD!

  GOSPEL OF THE MASS

  Matthew 25:31-40

  31"When the Son of man comes in his glory, and all the angels with him, then he will sit on his glorious throne. 32Before him will be gathered all the nations, and he will separate them one from another as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats, 33and he will place the sheep at his right hand, but the goats at the left. 34Then the King will say to those at his right hand, `Come, O blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world;35for I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me drink, I was a stranger and you welcomed me, 36I was naked and you clothed me, I was sick and you visited me, I was in prison and you came to me.' 37Then the righteous will answer him, `Lord, when did we see thee hungry and feed thee, or thirsty and give thee drink? 38And when did we see thee a stranger and welcome thee, or naked and clothe thee? 39And when did we see thee sick or in prison and visit thee?' 40And the King will answer them, `Truly, I say to you, as you did it to one of the least of these my brethren, you did it to me.'

• THURSDAY THIRTY-THIRD WEEK OF ORDINARY TIME 2022:

  Ordinary Time.

  FIRST LECTURE OF THE MASS

  Rv 5:1-10

  I, John, saw a scroll in the right hand of the one who sat on the throne.
  It had writing on both sides and was sealed with seven seals.
  Then I saw a mighty angel who proclaimed in a loud voice,
  "Who is worthy to open the scroll and break its seals?"
  But no one in heaven or on earth or under the earth
  was able to open the scroll or to examine it.
  I shed many tears because no one was found worthy
  to open the scroll or to examine it.
  One of the elders said to me, "Do not weep.
  The lion of the tribe of Judah, the root of David, has triumphed,
  enabling him to open the scroll with its seven seals."
  
  Then I saw standing in the midst of the throne
  and the four living creatures and the elders
  a Lamb that seemed to have been slain.
  He had seven horns and seven eyes;
  these are the seven spirits of God sent out into the whole world.
  He came and received the scroll from the right hand
  of the one who sat on the throne.
  When he took it,
  the four living creatures and the twenty-four elders
  fell down before the Lamb.
  Each of the elders held a harp and gold bowls filled with incense,
  which are the prayers of the holy ones.
  They sang a new hymn:
  
  "Worthy are you to receive the scroll
  and break open its seals,
  for you were slain and with your Blood you purchased for God
  those from every tribe and tongue, people and nation.
  You made them a kingdom and priests for our God,
  and they will reign on earth."

  let the children of Zion rejoice in their king.
  R. The Lamb has made us a kingdom of priests to serve our God.
  or:
  R. Alleluia.
  Let them praise his name in the festive dance,
  let them sing praise to him with timbrel and harp.
  For the LORD loves his people,
  and he adorns the lowly with victory.
  R. The Lamb has made us a kingdom of priests to serve our God.
  or:
  R. Alleluia.
  Let the faithful exult in glory;
  let them sing for joy upon their couches;
  Let the high praises of God be in their throats.
  This is the glory of all his faithful. Alleluia.

  GOSPEL OF THE MASS

  Lk 19:41-44

  As Jesus drew near Jerusalem,
  he saw the city and wept over it, saying,
  "If this day you only knew what makes for peace--
  but now it is hidden from your eyes.
  For the days are coming upon you
  when your enemies will raise a palisade against you;
  they will encircle you and hem you in on all sides.
  They will smash you to the ground and your children within you,
  and they will not leave one stone upon another within you
  because you did not recognize the time of your visitation."
