  FIRST LECTURE OF THE MASS

  Philippians 2:5-11

  5Have this mind among yourselves, which is yours in Christ Jesus, 6who, though he was in the form of God, did not count equality with God a thing to be grasped, 7but emptied himself, taking the form of a servant, being born in the likeness of men. 8And being found in human form he humbled himself and became obedient unto death, even death on a cross. 9Therefore God has highly exalted him and bestowed on him the name which is above every name, 10that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, 11and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

  RESPONSORIAL PSALM

  Psalms 22:26-32

  25From thee comes my praise in the great congregation;my vows I will pay before those who fear him. 26The afflicted shall eat and be satisfied;those who seek him shall praise the LORD! May your hearts live for ever! 27All the ends of the earth shall remember and turn to the LORD;and all the families of the nations shall worship before him. 28For dominion belongs to the LORD, and he rules over the nations. 29Yea, to him shall all the proud of the earth bow down;before him shall bow all who go down to the dust, and he who cannot keep himself alive. 30Posterity shall serve him;men shall tell of the Lord to the coming generation, 31and proclaim his deliverance to a people yet unborn, that he has wrought it.

  GOSPEL OF THE MASS

  Luke 14:15-24

  15When one of those who sat at table with him heard this, he said to him, "Blessed is he who shall eat bread in the kingdom of God!" 16But he said to him, "A man once gave a great banquet, and invited many;17and at the time for the banquet he sent his servant to say to those who had been invited, `Come;for all is now ready.' 18But they all alike began to make excuses. The first said to him, `I have bought a field, and I must go out and see it;I pray you, have me excused.' 19And another said, `I have bought five yoke of oxen, and I go to examine them;I pray you, have me excused.' 20And another said, `I have married a wife, and therefore I cannot come.' 21So the servant came and reported this to his master. Then the householder in anger said to his servant, `Go out quickly to the streets and lanes of the city, and bring in the poor and maimed and blind and lame.' 22And the servant said, `Sir, what you commanded has been done, and still there is room.' 23And the master said to the servant, `Go out to the highways and hedges, and compel people to come in, that my house may be filled. 24For I tell you, none of those men who were invited shall taste my banquet.'"

  Ordinary Time.

  FIRST LECTURE OF THE MASS

  Rom 14:7-12

  Brothers and sisters:
  None of us lives for oneself, and no one dies for oneself.
  For if we live, we live for the Lord,
  and if we die, we die for the Lord;
  so then, whether we live or die, we are the Lord’s.
  For this is why Christ died and came to life,
  that he might be Lord of both the dead and the living.
  Why then do you judge your brother or sister?
  Or you, why do you look down on your brother or sister?
  For we shall all stand before the judgment seat of God;
  for it is written:
  
  As I live, says the Lord, every knee shall bend before me,
  and every tongue shall give praise to God.
  
  So then each of us shall give an account of himself to God.
  
  

  RESPONSORIAL PSALM

  PS 27:1bcde, 4, 13-14

  R. ( 13) I believe that I shall see the good things of the Lord in the land of the living.
  The LORD is my light and my salvation;
  whom should I fear?
  The LORD is my life’s refuge;
  of whom should I be afraid?
  R. I believe that I shall see the good things of the Lord in the land of the living.
  One thing I ask of the LORD;
  this I seek:
  To dwell in the house of the LORD
  all the days of my life,
  That I may gaze on the loveliness of the LORD
  and contemplate his temple.
  R. I believe that I shall see the good things of the Lord in the land of the living.
  I believe that I shall see the bounty of the LORD
  in the land of the living.
  Wait for the LORD with courage;
  be stouthearted, and wait for the LORD.
  R. I believe that I shall see the good things of the Lord in the land of the living.
  
  

  GOSPEL OF THE MASS

  Lk 15:1-10

  The tax collectors and sinners were all drawing near to listen to Jesus,
  but the Pharisees and scribes began to complain, saying,
  "This man welcomes sinners and eats with them."
  So Jesus addressed this parable to them.
  "What man among you having a hundred sheep and losing one of them
  would not leave the ninety-nine in the desert
  and go after the lost one until he finds it?
  And when he does find it,
  he sets it on his shoulders with great joy
  and, upon his arrival home,
  he calls together his friends and neighbors and says to them,
  'Rejoice with me because I have found my lost sheep.'
  I tell you, in just the same way
  there will be more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents
  than over ninety-nine righteous people
  who have no need of repentance.
  
  "Or what woman having ten coins and losing one
  would not light a lamp and sweep the house,
  searching carefully until she finds it?
  And when she does find it,
  she calls together her friends and neighbors
  and says to them,
  'Rejoice with me because I have found the coin that I lost.'
  In just the same way, I tell you,
  there will be rejoicing among the angels of God
  over one sinner who repents."
