  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."

• WEDNESDAY THIRTY-FIRST WEEK OF ORDINARY TIME 2022:

  Ordinary Time.

  FIRST LECTURE OF THE MASS

  Phil 2:12-18

  My beloved, obedient as you have always been,
  not only when I am present but all the more now when I am absent,
  work out your salvation with fear and trembling.
  For God is the one who, for his good purpose,
  works in you both to desire and to work.
  Do everything without grumbling or questioning,
  that you may be blameless and innocent,
  children of God without blemish
  in the midst of a crooked and perverse generation,
  among whom you shine like lights in the world,
  as you hold on to the word of life,
  so that my boast for the day of Christ may be
  that I did not run in vain or labor in vain.
  But, even if I am poured out as a libation
  upon the sacrificial service of your faith,
  I rejoice and share my joy with all of you.
  In the same way you also should rejoice and share your joy with me.
  

  RESPONSORIAL PSALM

  Ps 27:1, 4, 13-14

  R. (1a) The Lord is my light and my salvation.
  The LORD is my light and my salvation;
  whom should I fear?
  The LORD is my life's refuge;
  of whom should I be afraid?
  R. The Lord is my light and my salvation.
  One thing I ask of the LORD;
  this I seek:
  To dwell in the house of the LORD
  all the days of my life,
  That I may gaze on the loveliness of the LORD
  and contemplate his temple.
  R. The Lord is my light and my salvation.
  I believe that I shall see the bounty of the LORD
  in the land of the living.
  Wait for the LORD with courage;
  be stouthearted, and wait for the LORD.
  R. The Lord is my light and my salvation.
  

  GOSPEL OF THE MASS

  Lk 14:25-33

  Great crowds were traveling with Jesus,
  and he turned and addressed them,
  "If anyone comes to me without hating his father and mother,
  wife and children, brothers and sisters,
  and even his own life,
  he cannot be my disciple.
  Whoever does not carry his own cross and come after me
  cannot be my disciple.
  Which of you wishing to construct a tower
  does not first sit down and calculate the cost
  to see if there is enough for its completion?
  Otherwise, after laying the foundation
  and finding himself unable to finish the work
  the onlookers should laugh at him and say,
  'This one began to build but did not have the resources to finish.'
  Or what king marching into battle would not first sit down
  and decide whether with ten thousand troops
  he can successfully oppose another king
  advancing upon him with twenty thousand troops?
  But if not, while he is still far away,
  he will send a delegation to ask for peace terms.
  In the same way,
  everyone of you who does not renounce all his possessions
  cannot be my disciple."
