  FIRST LECTURE OF THE MASS

  Wisdom 3:1-9

  1But the souls of the righteous are in the hand of God, and no torment will ever touch them. 2In the eyes of the foolish they seemed to have died, and their departure was thought to be an affliction, 3and their going from us to be their destruction;but they are at peace. 4For though in the sight of men they were punished, their hope is full of immortality. 5Having been disciplined a little, they will receive great good, because God tested them and found them worthy of himself;6like gold in the furnace he tried them, and like a sacrificial burnt offering he accepted them. 7In the time of their visitation they will shine forth, and will run like sparks through the stubble. 8They will govern nations and rule over peoples, and the Lord will reign over them for ever. 9Those who trust in him will understand truth, and the faithful will abide with him in love, because grace and mercy are upon his elect, and he watches over his holy ones.

  RESPONSORIAL PSALM

  Psalms 27:1, 4, 7-9, 13-14

  1The LORD is my light and my salvation;whom shall I fear? The LORD is the stronghold of my life;of whom shall I be afraid? 4One thing have I asked of the LORD, that will I seek after;that I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of the LORD, and to inquire in his temple. 7Hear, O LORD, when I cry aloud, be gracious to me and answer me! 8Thou hast said, "Seek ye my face." My heart says to thee, "Thy face, LORD, do I seek." 9Hide not thy face from me. Turn not thy servant away in anger, thou who hast been my help. Cast me not off, forsake me not, O God of my salvation! 13I believe that I shall see the goodness of the LORD in the land of the living! 14Wait for the LORD;be strong, and let your heart take courage;yea, wait for the LORD!

  SECOND LECTURE OF THE MASS

  Romans 5:5-11

  5and hope does not disappoint us, because God's love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit which has been given to us. 6While we were still weak, at the right time Christ died for the ungodly. 7Why, one will hardly die for a righteous man -- though perhaps for a good man one will dare even to die. 8But God shows his love for us in that while we were yet sinners Christ died for us. 9Since, therefore, we are now justified by his blood, much more shall we be saved by him from the wrath of God. 10For if while we were enemies we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, now that we are reconciled, shall we be saved by his life. 11Not only so, but we also rejoice in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received our reconciliation.

  GOSPEL OF THE MASS

  John 11:17-27

  17Now when Jesus came, he found that Laz'arus had already been in the tomb four days. 18Bethany was near Jerusalem, about two miles off, 19and many of the Jews had come to Martha and Mary to console them concerning their brother. 20When Martha heard that Jesus was coming, she went and met him, while Mary sat in the house. 21Martha said to Jesus, "Lord, if you had been here, my brother would not have died. 22And even now I know that whatever you ask from God, God will give you." 23Jesus said to her, "Your brother will rise again." 24Martha said to him, "I know that he will rise again in the resurrection at the last day." 25Jesus said to her, "I am the resurrection and the life;he who believes in me, though he die, yet shall he live, 26and whoever lives and believes in me shall never die. Do you believe this?" 27She said to him, "Yes, Lord;I believe that you are the Christ, the Son of God, he who is coming into the world."

• MONDAY THIRTY-FIRST WEEK OF ORDINARY TIME 2020:

  Ordinary Time.

  FIRST LECTURE OF THE MASS

  Phil 2:1-4

  Brothers and sisters:
  If there is any encouragement in Christ,
  any solace in love,
  any participation in the Spirit,
  any compassion and mercy,
  complete my joy by being of the same mind, with the same love,
  united in heart, thinking one thing.
  Do nothing out of selfishness or out of vainglory;
  rather, humbly regard others as more important than yourselves,
  each looking out not for his own interests,
  but also everyone for those of others.
  

  RESPONSORIAL PSALM

  Ps 131:1bcde, 2, 3

  R. In you, O Lord, I have found my peace.
  O LORD, my heart is not proud,
  nor are my eyes haughty;
  I busy not myself with great things,
  nor with things too sublime for me.
  R. In you, O Lord, I have found my peace.
  Nay rather, I have stilled and quieted
  my soul like a weaned child.
  Like a weaned child on its mother's lap,
  so is my soul within me.
  R. In you, O Lord, I have found my peace.
  O Israel, hope in the LORD,
  both now and forever.
  R. In you, O Lord, I have found my peace.
  

  GOSPEL OF THE MASS

  Lk 14:12-14

  On a sabbath Jesus went to dine
  at the home of one of the leading Pharisees.
  He said to the host who invited him,
  "When you hold a lunch or a dinner,
  do not invite your friends or your brothers or sisters
  or your relatives or your wealthy neighbors,
  in case they may invite you back and you have repayment.
  Rather, when you hold a banquet,
  invite the poor, the crippled, the lame, the blind;
  blessed indeed will you be because of their inability to repay you.
  For you will be repaid at the resurrection of the righteous."
