  FIRST LECTURE OF THE MASS

  1 Peter 4:12-19

  12Beloved, do not be surprised at the fiery ordeal which comes upon you to prove you, as though something strange were happening to you. 13But rejoice in so far as you share Christ's sufferings, that you may also rejoice and be glad when his glory is revealed. 14If you are reproached for the name of Christ, you are blessed, because the spirit of glory and of God rests upon you. 15But let none of you suffer as a murderer, or a thief, or a wrongdoer, or a mischief-maker; 16yet if one suffers as a Christian, let him not be ashamed, but under that name let him glorify God. 17For the time has come for judgment to begin with the household of God; and if it begins with us, what will be the end of those who do not obey the gospel of God? 18And "If the righteous man is scarcely saved, where will the impious and sinner appear?" 19Therefore let those who suffer according to God's will do right and entrust their souls to a faithful Creator.

  RESPONSORIAL PSALM

  Psalms 126:1-6

  1When the LORD restored the fortunes of Zion, we were like those who dream. 2Then our mouth was filled with laughter, and our tongue with shouts of joy; then they said among the nations, "The LORD has done great things for them." 3The LORD has done great things for us; we are glad. 4Restore our fortunes, O LORD, like the watercourses in the Negeb! 5May those who sow in tears reap with shouts of joy! 6He that goes forth weeping, bearing the seed for sowing, shall come home with shouts of joy, bringing his sheaves with him.

  SECOND LECTURE OF THE MASS

  Matthew 7:1-5

  1"Judge not, that you be not judged. 2For with the judgment you pronounce you will be judged, and the measure you give will be the measure you get. 3Why do you see the speck that is in your brother's eye, but do not notice the log that is in your own eye? 4Or how can you say to your brother, `Let me take the speck out of your eye,' when there is the log in your own eye? 5You hypocrite, first take the log out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to take the speck out of your brother's eye.

  GOSPEL OF THE MASS

  Matthew 10:34-39

  34"Do not think that I have come to bring peace on earth; I have not come to bring peace, but a sword. 35For I have come to set a man against his father, and a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law; 36and a man's foes will be those of his own household. 37He who loves father or mother more than me is not worthy of me; and he who loves son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me; 38and he who does not take his cross and follow me is not worthy of me. 39He who finds his life will lose it, and he who loses his life for my sake will find it.

  FIRST LECTURE OF THE MASS

  2 chr 24:17-15

  After the death of Jehoiada,
  the princes of Judah came and paid homage to King Joash,
  and the king then listened to them.
  They forsook the temple of the LORD, the God of their fathers,
  and began to serve the sacred poles and the idols;
  and because of this crime of theirs,
  wrath came upon Judah and Jerusalem.
  Although prophets were sent to them to convert them to the LORD,
  the people would not listen to their warnings.
  Then the Spirit of God possessed Zechariah,
  son of Jehoiada the priest.
  He took his stand above the people and said to them:
  “God says, ‘Why are you transgressing the LORD’s commands,
  so that you cannot prosper?
  Because you have abandoned the LORD, he has abandoned you.’”
  But they conspired against him,
  and at the king’s order they stoned him to death
  in the court of the LORD’s temple.
  Thus King Joash was unmindful of the devotion shown him
  by Jehoiada, Zechariah’s father, and slew his son.
  And as Zechariah was dying, he said, “May the LORD see and avenge.”
  
  At the turn of the year a force of Arameans came up against Joash.
  They invaded Judah and Jerusalem,
  did away with all the princes of the people,
  and sent all their spoil to the king of Damascus.
  Though the Aramean force came with few men,
  the LORD surrendered a very large force into their power,
  because Judah had abandoned the LORD, the God of their fathers.
  So punishment was meted out to Joash.
  After the Arameans had departed from him,
  leaving him in grievous suffering,
  his servants conspired against him
  because of the murder of the son of Jehoiada the priest.
  He was buried in the City of David,
  but not in the tombs of the kings.
  

  RESPONSORIAL PSALM

  ps 89:4-5, 29-30, 31-32, 33-34

  R. (29a) For ever I will maintain my love for my servant.
  “I have made a covenant with my chosen one,
  I have sworn to David my servant:
  Forever will I confirm your posterity
  and establish your throne for all generations.”
  R. For ever I will maintain my love for my servant.
  “Forever I will maintain my kindness toward him,
  and my covenant with him stands firm.
  I will make his posterity endure forever
  and his throne as the days of heaven.”
  R. For ever I will maintain my love for my servant.
  “If his sons forsake my law
  and walk not according to my ordinances,
  If they violate my statutes
  and keep not my commands.”
  R. For ever I will maintain my love for my servant.
  “I will punish their crime with a rod
  and their guilt with stripes.
  Yet my mercy I will not take from him,
  nor will I belie my faithfulness.”
  R. For ever I will maintain my love for my servant.
  

  GOSPEL OF THE MASS

  Matthew 6:24-34

  24"No one can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon. 25"Therefore I tell you, do not be anxious about your life, what you shall eat or what you shall drink, nor about your body, what you shall put on. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothing? 26Look at the birds of the air: they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they? 27And which of you by being anxious can add one cubit to his span of life? 28And why are you anxious about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they neither toil nor spin; 29yet I tell you, even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. 30But if God so clothes the grass of the field, which today is alive and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, will he not much more clothe you, O men of little faith? 31Therefore do not be anxious, saying, `What shall we eat?' or `What shall we drink?' or `What shall we wear?' 32For the Gentiles seek all these things; and your heavenly Father knows that you need them all. 33But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things shall be yours as well. 34"Therefore do not be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself. Let the day's own trouble be sufficient for the day.
