  FIRST LECTURE OF THE MASS

  2 Samuel 7:4-5, 12-14, 16

  4But that same night the word of the LORD came to Nathan, 5"Go and tell my servant David, `Thus says the LORD: Would you build me a house to dwell in? 12When your days are fulfilled and you lie down with your fathers, I will raise up your offspring after you, who shall come forth from your body, and I will establish his kingdom. 13He shall build a house for my name, and I will establish the throne of his kingdom for ever. 14I will be his father, and he shall be my son. When he commits iniquity, I will chasten him with the rod of men, with the stripes of the sons of men;16And your house and your kingdom shall be made sure for ever before me;your throne shall be established for ever.'"

  RESPONSORIAL PSALM

  Psalms 89:2-5, 27, 29

  1I will sing of thy steadfast love, O LORD, for ever;with my mouth I will proclaim thy faithfulness to all generations. 2For thy steadfast love was established for ever, thy faithfulness is firm as the heavens. 3Thou hast said, "I have made a covenant with my chosen one, I have sworn to David my servant: 4`I will establish your descendants for ever, and build your throne for all generations.'" [Selah] 26He shall cry to me, `Thou art my Father, my God, and the Rock of my salvation.' 28My steadfast love I will keep for him for ever, and my covenant will stand firm for him.

  SECOND LECTURE OF THE MASS

  Romans 4:13, 16-18, 22

  13The promise to Abraham and his descendants, that they should inherit the world, did not come through the law but through the righteousness of faith. 16That is why it depends on faith, in order that the promise may rest on grace and be guaranteed to all his descendants -- not only to the adherents of the law but also to those who share the faith of Abraham, for he is the father of us all, 17as it is written, "I have made you the father of many nations" -- in the presence of the God in whom he believed, who gives life to the dead and calls into existence the things that do not exist. 18In hope he believed against hope, that he should become the father of many nations;as he had been told, "So shall your descendants be." 22That is why his faith was "reckoned to him as righteousness."

  GOSPEL OF THE MASS

  Luke 2:41-51

  41Now his parents went to Jerusalem every year at the feast of the Passover. 42And when he was twelve years old, they went up according to custom;43and when the feast was ended, as they were returning, the boy Jesus stayed behind in Jerusalem. His parents did not know it, 44but supposing him to be in the company they went a day's journey, and they sought him among their kinsfolk and acquaintances;45and when they did not find him, they returned to Jerusalem, seeking him. 46After three days they found him in the temple, sitting among the teachers, listening to them and asking them questions;47and all who heard him were amazed at his understanding and his answers. 48And when they saw him they were astonished;and his mother said to him, "Son, why have you treated us so? Behold, your father and I have been looking for you anxiously." 49And he said to them, "How is it that you sought me? Did you not know that I must be in my Father's house?" 50And they did not understand the saying which he spoke to them. 51And he went down with them and came to Nazareth, and was obedient to them;and his mother kept all these things in her heart.

  Time of Lent.

  FIRST LECTURE OF THE MASS

  Is 1:10, 16-20

  Hear the word of the LORD,
  princes of Sodom!
  Listen to the instruction of our God,
  people of Gomorrah!
  
  Wash yourselves clean!
  Put away your misdeeds from before my eyes;
  cease doing evil;learn to do good.
  Make justice your aim: redress the wronged,
  hear the orphan’s plea, defend the widow.
  
  Come now, let us set things right,
  says the LORD:
  Though your sins be like scarlet,
  they may become white as snow;
  Though they be crimson red,
  they may become white as wool.
  If you are willing, and obey,
  you shall eat the good things of the land;
  But if you refuse and resist,
  the sword shall consume you:
  for the mouth of the LORD has spoken!
  
  

  RESPONSORIAL PSALM

  Ps 50:8-9, 16bc-17, 21 and 23

  R. (23b) To the upright I will show the saving power of God.
  “Not for your sacrifices do I rebuke you,
  for your burnt offerings are before me always.
  I take from your house no bullock,
  no goats out of your fold.”
  R. To the upright I will show the saving power of God.
  “Why do you recite my statutes,
  and profess my covenant with your mouth,
  Though you hate discipline
  and cast my words behind you?”
  R. To the upright I will show the saving power of God.
  “When you do these things, shall I be deaf to it?
  Or do you think that I am like yourself?
  I will correct you by drawing them up before your eyes.
  He that offers praise as a sacrifice glorifies me;
  and to him that goes the right way I will show the salvation of God.”
  R. To the upright I will show the saving power of God.
  
  

  GOSPEL OF THE MASS

  Mt 23:1-12

  Jesus spoke to the crowds and to his disciples, saying,
  “The scribes and the Pharisees
  have taken their seat on the chair of Moses.
  Therefore, do and observe all things whatsoever they tell you,
  but do not follow their example.
  For they preach but they do not practice.
  They tie up heavy burdens hard to carry
  and lay them on people’s shoulders,
  but they will not lift a finger to move them.
  All their works are performed to be seen.
  They widen their phylacteries and lengthen their tassels.
  They love places of honor at banquets, seats of honor in synagogues,
  greetings in marketplaces, and the salutation ‘Rabbi.’
  As for you, do not be called ‘Rabbi.’
  You have but one teacher, and you are all brothers.
  Call no one on earth your father;
  you have but one Father in heaven.
  Do not be called ‘Master’;
  you have but one master, the Christ.
  The greatest among you must be your servant.
  Whoever exalts himself will be humbled;
  but whoever humbles himself will be exalted.”
