  FIRST LECTURE OF THE MASS

  2 Maccabees 7:1-2, 9-14

  1It happened also that seven brothers and their mother were arrested and were being compelled by the king, under torture with whips and cords, to partake of unlawful swine's flesh. 2One of them, acting as their spokesman, said, "What do you intend to ask and learn from us? For we are ready to die rather than transgress the laws of our fathers." 9And when he was at his last breath, he said, "You accursed wretch, you dismiss us from this present life, but the King of the universe will raise us up to an everlasting renewal of life, because we have died for his laws." 10After him, the third was the victim of their sport. When it was demanded, he quickly put out his tongue and courageously stretched forth his hands, 11and said nobly, "I got these from Heaven, and because of his laws I disdain them, and from him I hope to get them back again." 12As a result the king himself and those with him were astonished at the young man's spirit, for he regarded his sufferings as nothing. 13When he too had died, they maltreated and tortured the fourth in the same way. 14And when he was near death, he said, "One cannot but choose to die at the hands of men and to cherish the hope that God gives of being raised again by him. But for you there will be no resurrection to life!"

  RESPONSORIAL PSALM

  Psalms 124:2-5, 7-8

  2if it had not been the LORD who was on our side, when men rose up against us, 3then they would have swallowed us up alive, when their anger was kindled against us; 4then the flood would have swept us away, the torrent would have gone over us; 5then over us would have gone the raging waters. 7We have escaped as a bird from the snare of the fowlers; the snare is broken, and we have escaped! 8Our help is in the name of the LORD, who made heaven and earth.

  GOSPEL OF THE MASS

  Matthew 5:1-12

  1Seeing the crowds, he went up on the mountain, and when he sat down his disciples came to him. 2And he opened his mouth and taught them, saying: 3"Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. 4"Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted. 5"Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth. 6"Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be satisfied. 7"Blessed are the merciful, for they shall obtain mercy. 8"Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God. 9"Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called sons of God. 10"Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness' sake, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. 11"Blessed are you when men revile you and persecute you and utter all kinds of evil against you falsely on my account. 12Rejoice and be glad, for your reward is great in heaven, for so men persecuted the prophets who were before you.

  FIRST LECTURE OF THE MASS

  2 Pt 1:2-7

  Beloved:
  May grace and peace be yours in abundance
  through knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord.
  
  His divine power has bestowed on us
  everything that makes for life and devotion,
  through the knowledge of him
  who called us by his own glory and power.
  Through these, he has bestowed on us
  the precious and very great promises,
  so that through them you may come to share in the divine nature,
  after escaping from the corruption that is in the world
  because of evil desire.
  For this very reason,
  make every effort to supplement your faith with virtue,
  virtue with knowledge, knowledge with self-control,
  self-control with endurance, endurance with devotion,
  devotion with mutual affection, mutual affection with love.
  

  RESPONSORIAL PSALM

  Ps 91:1-2, 14-15b, 15c-16

  R. (see 2b) In you, my God, I place my trust.
  You who dwell in the shelter of the Most High,
  who abide in the shadow of the Almighty,
  Say to the LORD, "My refuge and my fortress,
  my God, in whom I trust."
  R. In you, my God, I place my trust.
  Because he clings to me, I will deliver him;
  I will set him on high because he acknowledges my name.
  He shall call upon me, and I will answer him;
  I will be with him in distress.
  R. In you, my God, I place my trust.
  I will deliver him and glorify him;
  with length of days I will gratify him
  and will show him my salvation.
  R. In you, my God, I place my trust.
  

  GOSPEL OF THE MASS

  Mk 12:1-12

  Jesus began to speak to the chief priests, the scribes,
  and the elders in parables.
  "A man planted a vineyard, put a hedge around it,
  dug a wine press, and built a tower.
  Then he leased it to tenant farmers and left on a journey.
  At the proper time he sent a servant to the tenants
  to obtain from them some of the produce of the vineyard.
  But they seized him, beat him,
  and sent him away empty-handed.
  Again he sent them another servant.
  And that one they beat over the head and treated shamefully.
  He sent yet another whom they killed.
  So, too, many others; some they beat, others they killed.
  He had one other to send, a beloved son.
  He sent him to them last of all, thinking, 'They will respect my son.'
  But those tenants said to one another, 'This is the heir.
  Come, let us kill him, and the inheritance will be ours.'
  So they seized him and killed him,
  and threw him out of the vineyard.
  What then will the owner of the vineyard do?
  He will come, put the tenants to death,
  and give the vineyard to others.
  Have you not read this Scripture passage:
  
  The stone that the builders rejected
  has become the cornerstone;
  by the Lord has this been done,
  and it is wonderful in our eyes?"
  
  They were seeking to arrest him, but they feared the crowd,
  for they realized that he had addressed the parable to them.
  So they left him and went away.
