  FIRST LECTURE OF THE MASS

  Philippians 4:4-9

  4Rejoice in the Lord always;again I will say, Rejoice. 5Let all men know your forbearance. The Lord is at hand. 6Have no anxiety about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. 7And the peace of God, which passes all understanding, will keep your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. 8Finally, brethren, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is gracious, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things. 9What you have learned and received and heard and seen in me, do;and the God of peace will be with you.

  RESPONSORIAL PSALM

  Psalms 34:2-11

  1I will bless the LORD at all times;his praise shall continually be in my mouth. 2My soul makes its boast in the LORD;let the afflicted hear and be glad. 3O magnify the LORD with me, and let us exalt his name together! 4I sought the LORD, and he answered me, and delivered me from all my fears. 5Look to him, and be radiant;so your faces shall never be ashamed. 6This poor man cried, and the LORD heard him, and saved him out of all his troubles. 7The angel of the LORD encamps around those who fear him, and delivers them. 8O taste and see that the LORD is good! Happy is the man who takes refuge in him! 9O fear the LORD, you his saints, for those who fear him have no want! 10The young lions suffer want and hunger;but those who seek the LORD lack no good thing.

  GOSPEL OF THE MASS

  John 17:20-26

  20"I do not pray for these only, but also for those who believe in me through their word, 21that they may all be one;even as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be in us, so that the world may believe that thou hast sent me. 22The glory which thou hast given me I have given to them, that they may be one even as we are one, 23I in them and thou in me, that they may become perfectly one, so that the world may know that thou hast sent me and hast loved them even as thou hast loved me. 24Father, I desire that they also, whom thou hast given me, may be with me where I am, to behold my glory which thou hast given me in thy love for me before the foundation of the world. 25O righteous Father, the world has not known thee, but I have known thee;and these know that thou hast sent me. 26I made known to them thy name, and I will make it known, that the love with which thou hast loved me may be in them, and I in them."

  Ordinary Time.

  FIRST LECTURE OF THE MASS

  jas 5:13-20

  Beloved:
  Is anyone among you suffering?
  He should pray.
  Is anyone in good spirits?
  He should sing a song of praise.
  Is anyone among you sick?
  He should summon the presbyters of the Church,
  and they should pray over him
  and anoint him with oil in the name of the Lord.
  The prayer of faith will save the sick person,
  and the Lord will raise him up.
  If he has committed any sins, he will be forgiven.
  
  Therefore, confess your sins to one another
  and pray for one another, that you may be healed.
  The fervent prayer of a righteous person is very powerful.
  Elijah was a man like us;
  yet he prayed earnestly that it might not rain,
  and for three years and six months it did not rain upon the land.
  Then Elijah prayed again, and the sky gave rain
  and the earth produced its fruit.
  
  My brothers and sisters,
  if anyone among you should stray from the truth
  and someone bring him back,
  he should know that whoever brings back a sinner
  from the error of his way will save his soul from death
  and will cover a multitude of sins.
  

  RESPONSORIAL PSALM

  ps 141:1-2, 3 and 8

  R. (2a) Let my prayer come like incense before you.
  O LORD, to you I call;hasten to me;
  hearken to my voice when I call upon you.
  Let my prayer come like incense before you;
  the lifting up of my hands, like the evening sacrifice.
  R. Let my prayer come like incense before you.
  O LORD, set a watch before my mouth,
  a guard at the door of my lips.
  For toward you, O God, my LORD, my eyes are turned;
  in you I take refuge;strip me not of life.
  R. Let my prayer come like incense before you.
  

  GOSPEL OF THE MASS

  mk 10:13-16

  People were bringing children to Jesus that he might touch them,
  but the disciples rebuked them.
  When Jesus saw this he became indignant and said to them,
  “Let the children come to me;do not prevent them,
  for the Kingdom of God belongs to such as these.
  Amen, I say to you,
  whoever does not accept the Kingdom of God like a child
  will not enter it.”
  Then he embraced the children and blessed them,
  placing his hands on them.
