    FIRST LECTURE OF THE MASS

    Isaiah 49:1-6

    1Listen to me, O coastlands, and hearken, you peoples from afar. The LORD called me from the womb, from the body of my mother he named my name. 2He made my mouth like a sharp sword, in the shadow of his hand he hid me;he made me a polished arrow, in his quiver he hid me away. 3And he said to me, "You are my servant, Israel, in whom I will be glorified." 4But I said, "I have labored in vain, I have spent my strength for nothing and vanity;yet surely my right is with the LORD, and my recompense with my God." 5And now the LORD says, who formed me from the womb to be his servant, to bring Jacob back to him, and that Israel might be gathered to him, for I am honored in the eyes of the LORD, and my God has become my strength -- 6he says: "It is too light a thing that you should be my servant to raise up the tribes of Jacob and to restore the preserved of Israel;I will give you as a light to the nations, that my salvation may reach to the end of the earth."

    RESPONSORIAL PSALM

    Psalms 139:1-3, 13-15

    1O LORD, thou hast searched me and known me! 2Thou knowest when I sit down and when I rise up;thou discernest my thoughts from afar. 3Thou searchest out my path and my lying down, and art acquainted with all my ways. 13For thou didst form my inward parts, thou didst knit me together in my mother's womb. 14I praise thee, for thou art fearful and wonderful. Wonderful are thy works! Thou knowest me right well;15my frame was not hidden from thee, when I was being made in secret, intricately wrought in the depths of the earth.

    SECOND LECTURE OF THE MASS

    Acts 13:22-26

    22And when he had removed him, he raised up David to be their king;of whom he testified and said, `I have found in David the son of Jesse a man after my heart, who will do all my will.' 23Of this man's posterity God has brought to Israel a Savior, Jesus, as he promised. 24Before his coming John had preached a baptism of repentance to all the people of Israel. 25And as John was finishing his course, he said, `What do you suppose that I am? I am not he. No, but after me one is coming, the sandals of whose feet I am not worthy to untie.' 26"Brethren, sons of the family of Abraham, and those among you that fear God, to us has been sent the message of this salvation.

    GOSPEL OF THE MASS

    Luke 1:57-66, 80

    57Now the time came for Elizabeth to be delivered, and she gave birth to a son. 58And her neighbors and kinsfolk heard that the Lord had shown great mercy to her, and they rejoiced with her. 59And on the eighth day they came to circumcise the child;and they would have named him Zechari'ah after his father, 60but his mother said, "Not so;he shall be called John." 61And they said to her, "None of your kindred is called by this name." 62And they made signs to his father, inquiring what he would have him called. 63And he asked for a writing tablet, and wrote, "His name is John." And they all marveled. 64And immediately his mouth was opened and his tongue loosed, and he spoke, blessing God. 65And fear came on all their neighbors. And all these things were talked about through all the hill country of Judea;66and all who heard them laid them up in their hearts, saying, "What then will this child be?" For the hand of the Lord was with him. 80And the child grew and became strong in spirit, and he was in the wilderness till the day of his manifestation to Israel.

    Ordinary Time.

    FIRST LECTURE OF THE MASS

    Ez 34:11-16

    Thus says the Lord GOD:
    I myself will look after and tend my sheep.
    As a shepherd tends his flock
    when he finds himself among his scattered sheep,
    so will I tend my sheep.
    I will rescue them from every place where they were scattered
    when it was cloudy and dark.
    I will lead them out from among the peoples
    and gather them from the foreign lands;
    I will bring them back to their own country
    and pasture them upon the mountains of Israel
    in the land's ravines and all its inhabited places.
    In good pastures will I pasture them,
    and on the mountain heights of Israel
    shall be their grazing ground.
    There they shall lie down on good grazing ground,
    and in rich pastures shall they be pastured
    on the mountains of Israel.
    I myself will pasture my sheep;
    I myself will give them rest, says the Lord GOD.
    The lost I will seek out,
    the strayed I will bring back,
    the injured I will bind up,
    the sick I will heal,
    but the sleek and the strong I will destroy,
    shepherding them rightly.

    RESPONSORIAL PSALM

    Ps 23:1-3a, 3b-4, 5, 6.

    R. (1)
    The Lord is my shepherd;there is nothing I shall want.
    The LORD is my shepherd;I shall not want.
    In verdant pastures he gives me repose;
    beside restful waters he leads me;
    he refreshes my soul.
    R.The Lord is my shepherd;there is nothing I shall want.
    He guides me in right paths
    for his name's sake.
    Even though I walk in the dark valley
    I fear no evil;for you are at my side
    with your rod and your staff
    that give me courage.
    R.The Lord is my shepherd;there is nothing I shall want.
    You spread the table before me
    in the sight of my foes;
    you anoint my head with oil;
    my cup overflows.
    R.The Lord is my shepherd;there is nothing I shall want.
    Only goodness and kindness follow me
    all the days of my life;
    and I shall dwell in the house of the LORD
    for years to come.
    R.The Lord is my shepherd;there is nothing I shall want.

    SECOND LECTURE OF THE MASS

    Rom 5:5b-11

    Brothers and sisters:
    The love of God has been poured out into our hearts
    through the Holy Spirit that has been given to us.
    For Christ, while we were still helpless,
    died at the appointed time for the ungodly.
    Indeed, only with difficulty does one die for a just person,
    though perhaps for a good person
    one might even find courage to die.
    But God proves his love for us
    in that while we were still sinners Christ died for us.
    How much more then, since we are now justified by his blood,
    will we be saved through him from the wrath.
    Indeed, if, while we were enemies,
    we were reconciled to God through the death of his Son,
    how much more, once reconciled,
    will we be saved by his life.
    Not only that,
    but we also boast of God through our Lord Jesus Christ,
    through whom we have now received reconciliation.

    GOSPEL OF THE MASS

    Lk 15:3-7

    Jesus addressed this parable to the Pharisees and scribes:
    "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."
