  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

  Acts 19:1-8

  While Apollos was in Corinth,
  Paul traveled through the interior of the country
  and down to Ephesus where he found some disciples.
  He said to them,
  “Did you receive the Holy Spirit when you became believers?”
  They answered him,
  “We have never even heard that there is a Holy Spirit.”
  He said, “How were you baptized?”
  They replied, “With the baptism of John.”
  Paul then said, “John baptized with a baptism of repentance,
  telling the people to believe in the one who was to come after him,
  that is, in Jesus.”
  When they heard this,
  they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.
  And when Paul laid his hands on them,
  the Holy Spirit came upon them,
  and they spoke in tongues and prophesied.
  Altogether there were about twelve men.
  
  He entered the synagogue, and for three months debated boldly
  with persuasive arguments about the Kingdom of God.

  GOSPEL OF THE MASS

  John 16:29-33

  The disciples said to Jesus,
  “Now you are talking plainly, and not in any figure of speech.
  Now we realize that you know everything
  and that you do not need to have anyone question you.
  Because of this we believe that you came from God.”
  Jesus answered them, “Do you believe now?
  Behold, the hour is coming and has arrived
  when each of you will be scattered to his own home
  and you will leave me alone.
  But I am not alone, because the Father is with me.
  I have told you this so that you might have peace in me.
  In the world you will have trouble,
  but take courage, I have conquered the world.”
