    Ordinary Time.

    FIRST LECTURE OF THE MASS

    Ex 32:7-11, 13-14

    The LORD said to Moses,
    "Go down at once to your people,
    whom you brought out of the land of Egypt,
    for they have become depraved.
    They have soon turned aside from the way I pointed out to them,
    making for themselves a molten calf and worshiping it,
    sacrificing to it and crying out,
    ‘This is your God, O Israel,
    who brought you out of the land of Egypt!’
    "I see how stiff-necked this people is, " continued the LORD to Moses.
    Let me alone, then,
    that my wrath may blaze up against them to consume them.
    Then I will make of you a great nation."
    But Moses implored the LORD, his God, saying,
    "Why, O LORD, should your wrath blaze up against your own people,
    whom you brought out of the land of Egypt
    with such great power and with so strong a hand?
    Remember your servants Abraham, Isaac, and Israel,
    and how you swore to them by your own self, saying,
    ‘I will make your descendants as numerous as the stars in the sky;
    and all this land that I promised,
    I will give your descendants as their perpetual heritage.’"
    So the LORD relented in the punishment
    he had threatened to inflict on his people.

    RESPONSORIAL PSALM

    Ps 51:3-4, 12-13, 17, 19

    R. (Lk 15:18)
    I will rise and go to my father.
    Have mercy on me, O God, in your goodness;
    in the greatness of your compassion wipe out my offense.
    Thoroughly wash me from my guilt
    and of my sin cleanse me.
    R.I will rise and go to my father.
    A clean heart create for me, O God,
    and a steadfast spirit renew within me.
    Cast me not out from your presence,
    and your Holy Spirit take not from me.
    R.I will rise and go to my father.
    O Lord, open my lips,
    and my mouth shall proclaim your praise.
    My sacrifice, O God, is a contrite spirit;
    a heart contrite and humbled, O God, you will not spurn.
    R.I will rise and go to my father.

    SECOND LECTURE OF THE MASS

    1 Tm 1:12-17

    Beloved:
    I am grateful to him who has strengthened me, Christ Jesus our Lord,
    because he considered me trustworthy
    in appointing me to the ministry.
    I was once a blasphemer and a persecutor and arrogant,
    but I have been mercifully treated
    because I acted out of ignorance in my unbelief.
    Indeed, the grace of our Lord has been abundant,
    along with the faith and love that are in Christ Jesus.
    This saying is trustworthy and deserves full acceptance:
    Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners.
    Of these I am the foremost.
    But for that reason I was mercifully treated,
    so that in me, as the foremost,
    Christ Jesus might display all his patience as an example
    for those who would come to believe in him for everlasting life.
    To the king of ages, incorruptible, invisible, the only God,
    honor and glory forever and ever. Amen.

    GOSPEL OF THE MASS

    Lk 15:1-32

    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 to them he addressed this parable.
    "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."
    Then he said,
    "A man had two sons, and the younger son said to his father,
    ‘Father give me the share of your estate that should come to me.’
    So the father divided the property between them.
    After a few days, the younger son collected all his belongings
    and set off to a distant country
    where he squandered his inheritance on a life of dissipation.
    When he had freely spent everything,
    a severe famine struck that country,
    and he found himself in dire need.
    So he hired himself out to one of the local citizens
    who sent him to his farm to tend the swine.
    And he longed to eat his fill of the pods on which the swine fed,
    but nobody gave him any.
    Coming to his senses he thought,
    ‘How many of my father’s hired workers
    have more than enough food to eat,
    but here am I, dying from hunger.
    I shall get up and go to my father and I shall say to him,
    "Father, I have sinned against heaven and against you.
    I no longer deserve to be called your son;
    treat me as you would treat one of your hired workers."’
    So he got up and went back to his father.
    While he was still a long way off,
    his father caught sight of him,
    and was filled with compassion.
    He ran to his son, embraced him and kissed him.
    His son said to him,
    ‘Father, I have sinned against heaven and against you;
    I no longer deserve to be called your son.’
    But his father ordered his servants,
    ‘Quickly bring the finest robe and put it on him;
    put a ring on his finger and sandals on his feet.
    Take the fattened calf and slaughter it.
    Then let us celebrate with a feast,
    because this son of mine was dead, and has come to life again;
    he was lost, and has been found.’
    Then the celebration began.
    Now the older son had been out in the field
    and, on his way back, as he neared the house,
    he heard the sound of music and dancing.
    He called one of the servants and asked what this might mean.
    The servant said to him,
    ‘Your brother has returned
    and your father has slaughtered the fattened calf
    because he has him back safe and sound.’
    He became angry,
    and when he refused to enter the house,
    his father came out and pleaded with him.
    He said to his father in reply,
    ‘Look, all these years I served you
    and not once did I disobey your orders;
    yet you never gave me even a young goat to feast on with my friends. But when your son returns,
    who swallowed up your property with prostitutes,
    for him you slaughter the fattened calf.’
    He said to him,
    ‘My son, you are here with me always;
    everything I have is yours.
    But now we must celebrate and rejoice,
    because your brother was dead and has come to life again;
    he was lost and has been found.’"
