  FIRST LECTURE OF THE MASS

  Titus 1, 1-5

  1Paul, a servant of God and an apostle of Jesus Christ, to further the faith of God's elect and their knowledge of the truth which accords with godliness, 2in hope of eternal life which God, who never lies, promised ages ago 3and at the proper time manifested in his word through the preaching with which I have been entrusted by command of God our Savior; 4To Titus, my true child in a common faith: Grace and peace from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Savior. 5This is why I left you in Crete, that you might amend what was defective, and appoint elders in every town as I directed you,

  RESPONSORIAL PSALM

  Psalms 96:1-3, 7-8, 10

  1O sing to the LORD a new song; sing to the LORD, all the earth! 2Sing to the LORD, bless his name; tell of his salvation from day to day. 3Declare his glory among the nations, his marvelous works among all the peoples! 7Ascribe to the LORD, O families of the peoples, ascribe to the LORD glory and strength! 8Ascribe to the LORD the glory due his name; bring an offering, and come into his courts! 10Say among the nations, "The LORD reigns! Yea, the world is established, it shall never be moved; he will judge the peoples with equity."

  GOSPEL OF THE MASS

  Luke 10, 1-9

  1After this the Lord appointed seventy others, and sent them on ahead of him, two by two, into every town and place where he himself was about to come. 2And he said to them, "The harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few; pray therefore the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into his harvest. 3Go your way; behold, I send you out as lambs in the midst of wolves. 4Carry no purse, no bag, no sandals; and salute no one on the road. 5Whatever house you enter, first say, `Peace be to this house!' 6And if a son of peace is there, your peace shall rest upon him; but if not, it shall return to you. 7And remain in the same house, eating and drinking what they provide, for the laborer deserves his wages; do not go from house to house. 8Whenever you enter a town and they receive you, eat what is set before you; 9heal the sick in it and say to them, `The kingdom of God has come near to you.'

• THURSDAY THIRD WEEK OF ORDINARY TIME 2023:

  Ordinary Time.

  FIRST LECTURE OF THE MASS

  Heb 10:19-25

  Brothers and sisters:
  Since through the Blood of Jesus
  we have confidence of entrance into the sanctuary
  by the new and living way he opened for us through the veil,
  that is, his flesh,
  and since we have “a great priest over the house of God,”
  let us approach with a sincere heart and in absolute trust,
  with our hearts sprinkled clean from an evil conscience
  and our bodies washed in pure water.
  Let us hold unwaveringly to our confession that gives us hope,
  for he who made the promise is trustworthy.
  We must consider how to rouse one another to love and good works.
  We should not stay away from our assembly,
  as is the custom of some, but encourage one another,
  and this all the more as you see the day drawing near.

  RESPONSORIAL PSALM

  PS 24:1-2, 3-4ab, 5-6

  R. (see 6)  Lord, this is the people that longs to see your face.
  The LORD’s are the earth and its fullness;
  the world and those who dwell in it.
  For he founded it upon the seas
  and established it upon the rivers.
  R. Lord, this is the people that longs to see your face.
  Who can ascend the mountain of the LORD?
  or who may stand in his holy place?
  He whose hands are sinless, whose heart is clean,
  who desires not what is vain.
  R. Lord, this is the people that longs to see your face.
  He shall receive a blessing from the LORD,
  a reward from God his savior.
  Such is the race that seeks for him,
  that seeks the face of the God of Jacob.
  R. Lord, this is the people that longs to see your face.

  GOSPEL OF THE MASS

  mk 4:21-25

  Jesus said to his disciples,
  “Is a lamp brought in to be placed under a bushel basket
  or under a bed,
  and not to be placed on a lampstand?
  For there is nothing hidden except to be made visible;
  nothing is secret except to come to light.
  Anyone who has ears to hear ought to hear.”
  He also told them, “Take care what you hear.
  The measure with which you measure will be measured out to you,
  and still more will be given to you.
  To the one who has, more will be given;
  from the one who has not, even what he has will be taken away.”
