  FIRST LECTURE OF THE MASS

  Rv 21:9b-14

  The angel spoke to me, saying,
  "Come here.
  I will show you the bride, the wife of the Lamb."
  He took me in spirit to a great, high mountain
  and showed me the holy city Jerusalem
  coming down out of heaven from God.
  It gleamed with the splendor of God.
  Its radiance was like that of a precious stone,
  like jasper, clear as crystal.
  It had a massive, high wall,
  with twelve gates where twelve angels were stationed
  and on which names were inscribed,
  the names of the twelve tribes of the children of Israel.
  There were three gates facing east,
  three north, three south, and three west.
  The wall of the city had twelve courses of stones as its foundation,
  on which were inscribed the twelve names
  of the twelve Apostles of the Lamb.

  RESPONSORIAL PSALM

  Ps 145:10-11, 12-13, 17-18

  R. (12) Your friends make known, O Lord, the glorious splendor of your Kingdom.
  Let all your works give you thanks, O LORD,
  and let your faithful ones bless you.
  Let them discourse of the glory of your Kingdom
  and speak of your might.
  R. Your friends make known, O Lord, the glorious splendor of your Kingdom.
  Making known to men your might
  and the glorious splendor of your Kingdom.
  Your Kingdom is a Kingdom for all ages,
  and your dominion endures through all generations.
  R. Your friends make known, O Lord, the glorious splendor of your Kingdom.
  The LORD is just in all his ways
  and holy in all his works.
  The LORD is near to all who call upon him,
  to all who call upon him in truth.
  R. Your friends make known, O Lord, the glorious splendor of your Kingdom.
  

  GOSPEL OF THE MASS

  Jn 1:45-51

  Philip found Nathanael and told him,
  "We have found the one about whom Moses wrote in the law,
  and also the prophets, Jesus son of Joseph, from Nazareth."
  But Nathanael said to him,
  "Can anything good come from Nazareth?"
  Philip said to him, "Come and see."
  Jesus saw Nathanael coming toward him and said of him,
  "Here is a true child of Israel.
  There is no duplicity in him."
  Nathanael said to him, "How do you know me?"
  Jesus answered and said to him,
  "Before Philip called you, I saw you under the fig tree."
  Nathanael answered him,
  "Rabbi, you are the Son of God; you are the King of Israel."
  Jesus answered and said to him,
  "Do you believe
  because I told you that I saw you under the fig tree?
  You will see greater things than this."
  And he said to him, "Amen, amen, I say to you,
  you will see heaven opened and the angels of God
  ascending and descending on the Son of Man."

  Ordinary Time.

  FIRST LECTURE OF THE MASS

  Is 66:18-21

  Thus says the LORD:
  I know their works and their thoughts,
  and I come to gather nations of every language;
  they shall come and see my glory.
  I will set a sign among them;
  from them I will send fugitives to the nations:
  to Tarshish, Put and Lud, Mosoch, Tubal and Javan,
  to the distant coastlands
  that have never heard of my fame, or seen my glory;
  and they shall proclaim my glory among the nations.
  They shall bring all your brothers and sisters from all the nations
  as an offering to the LORD,
  on horses and in chariots, in carts, upon mules and dromedaries,
  to Jerusalem, my holy mountain, says the LORD,
  just as the Israelites bring their offering
  to the house of the LORD in clean vessels.
  Some of these I will take as priests and Levites, says the LORD.
  

  RESPONSORIAL PSALM

  glorify him, all you peoples!
  R.Go out to all the world and tell the Good News.
  or:

  For steadfast is his kindness toward us,
  and the fidelity of the LORD endures forever.

  SECOND LECTURE OF THE MASS

  Heb 12:5-7, 11-13

  Brothers and sisters,
  You have forgotten the exhortation addressed to you as children:
  "My son, do not disdain the discipline of the Lord
  or lose heart when reproved by him;
  for whom the Lord loves, he disciplines;
  he scourges every son he acknowledges."
  Endure your trials as "discipline";
  God treats you as sons.
  For what "son" is there whom his father does not discipline?
  At the time,
  all discipline seems a cause not for joy but for pain,
  yet later it brings the peaceful fruit of righteousness
  to those who are trained by it.
  So strengthen your drooping hands and your weak knees.
  Make straight paths for your feet,
  that what is lame may not be disjointed but healed.
  

  GOSPEL OF THE MASS

  Lk 13:22-30

  Jesus passed through towns and villages,
  teaching as he went and making his way to Jerusalem.
  Someone asked him,
  "Lord, will only a few people be saved?"
  He answered them,
  "Strive to enter through the narrow gate,
  for many, I tell you, will attempt to enter
  but will not be strong enough.
  After the master of the house has arisen and locked the door,
  then will you stand outside knocking and saying,
  ‘Lord, open the door for us.’
  He will say to you in reply,
  ‘I do not know where you are from.
  And you will say,
  ‘We ate and drank in your company and you taught in our streets.’
  Then he will say to you,
  ‘I do not know where you are from.
  Depart from me, all you evildoers!’
  And there will be wailing and grinding of teeth
  when you see Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob
  and all the prophets in the kingdom of God
  and you yourselves cast out.
  And people will come from the east and the west
  and from the north and the south
  and will recline at table in the kingdom of God.
  For behold, some are last who will be first,
  and some are first who will be last."
