  FIRST LECTURE OF THE MASS

  1 Kgs 19:19-21

  Elijah set out, and came upon Elisha, son of Shaphat,
  as he was plowing with twelve yoke of oxen;
  he was following the twelfth.
  Elijah went over to him and threw his cloak over him.
  Elisha left the oxen, ran after Elijah, and said,
  "Please, let me kiss my father and mother goodbye,
  and I will follow you."
  Elijah answered, "Go back!
  Have I done anything to you?"
  Elisha left him and, taking the yoke of oxen, slaughtered them;
  he used the plowing equipment for fuel to boil their flesh,
  and gave it to his people to eat.
  Then he left and followed Elijah as his attendant.

  RESPONSORIAL PSALM

  Psalms 96:10, 11-12, 13

  R. (see 5a) You are my inheritance, O Lord.
  Keep me, O God, for in you I take refuge;
  I say to the LORD, "My Lord are you."
  O LORD, my allotted portion and my cup,
  you it is who hold fast my lot.
  R. You are my inheritance, O Lord.
  I bless the LORD who counsels me;
  even in the night my heart exhorts me.
  I set the LORD ever before me;
  with him at my right hand I shall not be disturbed.
  R. You are my inheritance, O Lord.
  Therefore my heart is glad and my soul rejoices,
  my body, too, abides in confidence;
  Because you will not abandon my soul to the netherworld,
  nor will you suffer your faithful one to undergo corruption.
  R. You are my inheritance, O Lord.

  GOSPEL OF THE MASS

  Luke 2:41-51

  Each year Jesus' parents went to Jerusalem for the feast of Passover,
  and when he was twelve years old,
  they went up according to festival custom.
  After they had completed its days, as they were returning,
  the boy Jesus remained behind in Jerusalem,
  but his parents did not know it.
  Thinking that he was in the caravan,
  they journeyed for a day
  and looked for him among their relatives and acquaintances,
  but not finding him,
  they returned to Jerusalem to look for him.
  After three days they found him in the temple,
  sitting in the midst of the teachers,
  listening to them and asking them questions,
  and all who heard him were astounded
  at his understanding and his answers.
  When his parents saw him,
  they were astonished,
  and his mother said to him,
  "Son, why have you done this to us?
  Your father and I have been looking for you with great anxiety."
  And he said to them,
  "Why were you looking for me?
  Did you not know that I must be in my Father's house?"
  But they did not understand what he said to them.
  He went down with them and came to Nazareth,
  and was obedient to them;
  and his mother kept all these things in her heart.

• SATURDAY NINTH WEEK OF ORDINARY TIME 2018:

  Ordinary Time.

  FIRST LECTURE OF THE MASS

  2 Tm 4:1-8

  Beloved:
  I charge you in the presence of God and of Christ Jesus,
  who will judge the living and the dead,
  and by his appearing and his kingly power:
  proclaim the word;
  be persistent whether it is convenient or inconvenient;
  convince, reprimand, encourage through all patience and teaching.
  For the time will come when people will not tolerate sound doctrine
  but, following their own desires and insatiable curiosity,
  will accumulate teachers and will stop listening to the truth
  and will be diverted to myths.
  But you, be self-possessed in all circumstances;
  put up with hardship;
  perform the work of an evangelist;
  fulfill your ministry.
  
  For I am already being poured out like a libation,
  and the time of my departure is at hand.
  I have competed well;
  I have finished the race;I have kept the faith.
  From now on the crown of righteousness awaits me,
  which the Lord, the just judge,
  will award to me on that day, and not only to me,
  but to all who have longed for his appearance.
  

  RESPONSORIAL PSALM

  Ps 71:8-9, 14-15ab, 16-17, 22

  R. (see 15ab) I will sing of your salvation.
  My mouth shall be filled with your praise,
  with your glory day by day.
  Cast me not off in my old age;
  as my strength fails, forsake me not.
  R. I will sing of your salvation.
  But I will always hope
  and praise you ever more and more.
  My mouth shall declare your justice,
  day by day your salvation.
  R. I will sing of your salvation.
  I will treat of the mighty works of the Lord;
  O GOD, I will tell of your singular justice.
  O God, you have taught me from my youth,
  and till the present I proclaim your wondrous deeds.
  R. I will sing of your salvation.
  So will I give you thanks with music on the lyre,
  for your faithfulness, O my God!
  I will sing your praises with the harp,
  O Holy One of Israel!
  R. I will sing of your salvation.
  

  GOSPEL OF THE MASS

  Mark 12:38-44

  38And in his teaching he said, "Beware of the scribes, who like to go about in long robes, and to have salutations in the market places 39and the best seats in the synagogues and the places of honor at feasts, 40who devour widows' houses and for a pretense make long prayers. They will receive the greater condemnation." 41And he sat down opposite the treasury, and watched the multitude putting money into the treasury. Many rich people put in large sums. 42And a poor widow came, and put in two copper coins, which make a penny. 43And he called his disciples to him, and said to them, "Truly, I say to you, this poor widow has put in more than all those who are contributing to the treasury. 44For they all contributed out of their abundance;but she out of her poverty has put in everything she had, her whole living."
