  FIRST LECTURE OF THE MASS

  Isaiah 1:10, 16-20

  10Hear the word of the LORD, you rulers of Sodom! Give ear to the teaching of our God, you people of Gomor'rah! 16Wash yourselves;make yourselves clean;remove the evil of your doings from before my eyes;cease to do evil, 17learn to do good;seek justice, correct oppression;defend the fatherless, plead for the widow. 18"Come now, let us reason together, says the LORD: though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow;though they are red like crimson, they shall become like wool. 19If you are willing and obedient, you shall eat the good of the land;20But if you refuse and rebel, you shall be devoured by the sword;for the mouth of the LORD has spoken."

  RESPONSORIAL PSALM

  Psalms 50:8-9, 16-17, 21, 23

  8I do not reprove you for your sacrifices;your burnt offerings are continually before me. 9I will accept no bull from your house, nor he-goat from your folds. 16But to the wicked God says: "What right have you to recite my statutes, or take my covenant on your lips? 17For you hate discipline, and you cast my words behind you. 21These things you have done and I have been silent;you thought that I was one like yourself. But now I rebuke you, and lay the charge before you. 23He who brings thanksgiving as his sacrifice honors me;to him who orders his way aright I will show the salvation of God!"

  GOSPEL OF THE MASS

  Matthew 23:1-12

  1Then said Jesus to the crowds and to his disciples, 2"The scribes and the Pharisees sit on Moses' seat;3so practice and observe whatever they tell you, but not what they do;for they preach, but do not practice. 4They bind heavy burdens, hard to bear, and lay them on men's shoulders;but they themselves will not move them with their finger. 5They do all their deeds to be seen by men;for they make their phylacteries broad and their fringes long, 6and they love the place of honor at feasts and the best seats in the synagogues, 7and salutations in the market places, and being called rabbi by men. 8But you are not to be called rabbi, for you have one teacher, and you are all brethren. 9And call no man your father on earth, for you have one Father, who is in heaven. 10Neither be called masters, for you have one master, the Christ. 11He who is greatest among you shall be your servant;12whoever exalts himself will be humbled, and whoever humbles himself will be exalted.

  Time of Lent.

  FIRST LECTURE OF THE MASS

  Dt 30:15-20

  Moses said to the people:
  “Today I have set before you
  life and prosperity, death and doom.
  If you obey the commandments of the LORD, your God,
  which I enjoin on you today,
  loving him, and walking in his ways,
  and keeping his commandments, statutes and decrees,
  you will live and grow numerous,
  and the LORD, your God,
  will bless you in the land you are entering to occupy.
  If, however, you turn away your hearts and will not listen,
  but are led astray and adore and serve other gods,
  I tell you now that you will certainly perish;
  you will not have a long life
  on the land that you are crossing the Jordan to enter and occupy.
  I call heaven and earth today to witness against you:
  I have set before you life and death,
  the blessing and the curse.
  Choose life, then,
  that you and your descendants may live, by loving the LORD, your God,
  heeding his voice, and holding fast to him.
  For that will mean life for you,
  a long life for you to live on the land that the LORD swore
  he would give to your fathers Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.”
  

  RESPONSORIAL PSALM

  Ps 1:1-2, 3, 4 and 6

  R. (40:5a) Blessed are they who hope in the Lord.
  Blessed the man who follows not
  the counsel of the wicked
  Nor walks in the way of sinners,
  nor sits in the company of the insolent,
  But delights in the law of the LORD
  and meditates on his law day and night.
  R. Blessed are they who hope in the Lord.
  He is like a tree
  planted near running water,
  That yields its fruit in due season,
  and whose leaves never fade.
  Whatever he does, prospers.
  R. Blessed are they who hope in the Lord.
  Not so the wicked, not so;
  they are like chaff which the wind drives away.
  For the LORD watches over the way of the just,
  but the way of the wicked vanishes.
  R. Blessed are they who hope in the Lord.
  

  GOSPEL OF THE MASS

  Lk 9:22-25

  Jesus said to his disciples:
  “The Son of Man must suffer greatly and be rejected
  by the elders, the chief priests, and the scribes,
  and be killed and on the third day be raised.”
  
  Then he said to all,
  “If anyone wishes to come after me, he must deny himself
  and take up his cross daily and follow me.
  For whoever wishes to save his life will lose it,
  but whoever loses his life for my sake will save it.
  What profit is there for one to gain the whole world
  yet lose or forfeit himself?”
