  FIRST LECTURE OF THE MASS

  Rv 12:7-12ab

  War broke out in heaven;
  Michael and his angels battled against the dragon.
  The dragon and its angels fought back,
  but they did not prevail
  and there was no longer any place for them in heaven.
  The huge dragon, the ancient serpent,
  who is called the Devil and Satan,
  who deceived the whole world,
  was thrown down to earth,
  and its angels were thrown down with it.
  
  Then I heard a loud voice in heaven say:
  "Now have salvation and power come,
  and the Kingdom of our God
  and the authority of his Anointed.
  For the accuser of our brothers is cast out,
  who accuses them before our God day and night.
  They conquered him by the Blood of the Lamb
  and by the word of their testimony;
  love for life did not deter them from death.
  Therefore, rejoice, you heavens,
  and you who dwell in them."
  

  RESPONSORIAL PSALM

  Ps 138:1-2ab, 2cde-3, 4-5

  R. (1) In the sight of the angels I will sing your praises, Lord.
  I will give thanks to you, O LORD, with all my heart,
  for you have heard the words of my mouth;
  in the presence of the angels I will sing your praise;
  I will worship at your holy temple
  and give thanks to your name.
  R. In the sight of the angels I will sing your praises, Lord.
  Because of your kindness and your truth;
  for you have made great above all things
  your name and your promise.
  When I called, you answered me;
  you built up strength within me.
  R. In the sight of the angels I will sing your praises, Lord.
  All the kings of the earth shall give thanks to you, O LORD
  when they hear the words of your mouth;
  And they shall sing of the ways of the LORD
  "Great is the glory of the LORD"
  R. In the sight of the angels I will sing your praises, Lord.
  

  GOSPEL OF THE MASS

  Jn 1:47-51

  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."

  FIRST LECTURE OF THE MASS

  Nm 11:25-29

  The LORD came down in the cloud and spoke to Moses.
  Taking some of the spirit that was on Moses,
  the LORD bestowed it on the seventy elders;
  and as the spirit came to rest on them, they prophesied.
  Now two men, one named Eldad and the other Medad,
  were not in the gathering but had been left in the camp.
  They too had been on the list, but had not gone out to the tent;
  yet the spirit came to rest on them also,
  and they prophesied in the camp.
  So, when a young man quickly told Moses,
  "Eldad and Medad are prophesying in the camp, "
  Joshua, son of Nun, who from his youth had been Moses' aide, said,
  "Moses, my lord, stop them."
  But Moses answered him,
  "Are you jealous for my sake?
  Would that all the people of the LORD were prophets!
  Would that the LORD might bestow his spirit on them all!"
  

  RESPONSORIAL PSALM

  Ps 19:8, 10, 12-13, 14

  R. (9a)
  The precepts of the Lord give joy to the heart.
  The law of the LORD is perfect,
  refreshing the soul;
  the decree of the LORD is trustworthy,
  giving wisdom to the simple.
  R.The precepts of the Lord give joy to the heart.
  The fear of the LORD is pure,
  enduring forever;
  the ordinances of the LORD are true,
  all of them just.
  R.The precepts of the Lord give joy to the heart.
  Though your servant is careful of them,
  very diligent in keeping them,
  Yet who can detect failings?
  Cleanse me from my unknown faults!
  R.The precepts of the Lord give joy to the heart.
  From wanton sin especially, restrain your servant;
  let it not rule over me.
  Then shall I be blameless and innocent
  of serious sin.
  R.The precepts of the Lord give joy to the heart.
  

  SECOND LECTURE OF THE MASS

  Jas 5:1-6

  Come now, you rich, weep and wail over your impending miseries.
  Your wealth has rotted away, your clothes have become moth-eaten,
  your gold and silver have corroded,
  and that corrosion will be a testimony against you;
  it will devour your flesh like a fire.
  You have stored up treasure for the last days.
  Behold, the wages you withheld from the workers
  who harvested your fields are crying aloud;
  and the cries of the harvesters
  have reached the ears of the Lord of hosts.
  You have lived on earth in luxury and pleasure;
  you have fattened your hearts for the day of slaughter.
  You have condemned;
  you have murdered the righteous one;
  he offers you no resistance.
  

  GOSPEL OF THE MASS

  Mk 9:38-43, 45, 47-48

  At that time, John said to Jesus,
  "Teacher, we saw someone driving out demons in your name,
  and we tried to prevent him because he does not follow us."
  Jesus replied, "Do not prevent him.
  There is no one who performs a mighty deed in my name
  who can at the same time speak ill of me.
  For whoever is not against us is for us.
  Anyone who gives you a cup of water to drink
  because you belong to Christ,
  amen, I say to you, will surely not lose his reward.
  "Whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in me to sin,
  it would be better for him if a great millstone
  were put around his neck
  and he were thrown into the sea.
  If your hand causes you to sin, cut it off.
  It is better for you to enter into life maimed
  than with two hands to go into Gehenna,
  into the unquenchable fire.
  And if your foot causes you to sin, cut if off.
  It is better for you to enter into life crippled
  than with two feet to be thrown into Gehenna.
  And if your eye causes you to sin, pluck it out.
  Better for you to enter into the kingdom of God with one eye
  than with two eyes to be thrown into Gehenna,
  where 'their worm does not die, and the fire is not quenched.'"
