    FIRST LECTURE OF THE MASS

    1 Thes 1:1-5, 8b-10

    Paul, Silvanus, and Timothy to the Church of the Thessalonians
    in God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ:
    grace to you and peace.

    We give thanks to God always for all of you,
    remembering you in our prayers,
    unceasingly calling to mind your work of faith and labor of love
    and endurance in hope of our Lord Jesus Christ,
    before our God and Father,
    knowing, brothers and sisters loved by God, how you were chosen.
    For our Gospel did not come to you in word alone,
    but also in power and in the Holy Spirit and with much conviction.
    You know what sort of people we were among you for your sake.
    In every place your faith in God has gone forth,
    so that we have no need to say anything.
    For they themselves openly declare about us
    what sort of reception we had among you,
    and how you turned to God from idols
    to serve the living and true God and to await his Son from heaven,
    whom he raised from the dead, Jesus,
    who delivers us from the coming wrath.

    GOSPEL OF THE MASS

    Mt 23:13-22

    Jesus said to the crowds and to his disciples:
    "Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, you hypocrites.
    You lock the Kingdom of heaven before men.
    You do not enter yourselves,
    nor do you allow entrance to those trying to enter.

    "Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, you hypocrites.
    You traverse sea and land to make one convert,
    and when that happens you make him a child of Gehenna
    twice as much as yourselves.

    "Woe to you, blind guides, who say,
    'If one swears by the temple, it means nothing,
    but if one swears by the gold of the temple, one is obligated.'
    Blind fools, which is greater, the gold,
    or the temple that made the gold sacred?
    And you say, 'If one swears by the altar, it means nothing,
    but if one swears by the gift on the altar, one is obligated.'
    You blind ones, which is greater, the gift,
    or the altar that makes the gift sacred?
    One who swears by the altar swears by it and all that is upon it;
    one who swears by the temple swears by it
    and by him who dwells in it;
    one who swears by heaven swears by the throne of God
    and by him who is seated on it."
