    FIRST LECTURE OF THE MASS

    Wisdom 7:7-10, 15-16

    7Therefore I prayed, and understanding was given me; I called upon God, and the spirit of wisdom came to me. 8I preferred her to scepters and thrones, and I accounted wealth as nothing in comparison with her. 9Neither did I liken to her any priceless gem, because all gold is but a little sand in her sight, and silver will be accounted as clay before her. 10I loved her more than health and beauty, and I chose to have her rather than light, because her radiance never ceases. 15May God grant that I speak with judgment and have thought worthy of what I have received, for he is the guide even of wisdom and the corrector of the wise. 16For both we and our words are in his hand, as are all understanding and skill in crafts.

    RESPONSORIAL PSALM

    Psalms 119:9-14

    9How can a young man keep his way pure? By guarding it according to thy word. 10With my whole heart I seek thee; let me not wander from thy commandments! 11I have laid up thy word in my heart, that I might not sin against thee. 12Blessed be thou, O LORD; teach me thy statutes! 13With my lips I declare all the ordinances of thy mouth. 14In the way of thy testimonies I delight as much as in all riches.

    GOSPEL OF THE MASS

    Matthew 23:8-12

    8But you are not to be called rabbi, for you have one teacher, and you are all brethren. 9And call no man your father on earth, for you have one Father, who is in heaven. 10Neither be called masters, for you have one master, the Christ. 11He who is greatest among you shall be your servant; 12whoever exalts himself will be humbled, and whoever humbles himself will be exalted.

    Ordinary Time.

    FIRST LECTURE OF THE MASS

    Dt 18:15-20

    Moses spoke to all the people, saying:
    "A prophet like me will the LORD, your God, raise up for you
    from among your own kin;
    to him you shall listen.
    This is exactly what you requested of the LORD, your God, at Horeb
    on the day of the assembly, when you said,
    'Let us not again hear the voice of the LORD, our God,
    nor see this great fire any more, lest we die.'
    And the LORD said to me, 'This was well said.
    I will raise up for them a prophet like you from among their kin,
    and will put my words into his mouth;
    he shall tell them all that I command him.
    Whoever will not listen to my words which he speaks in my name,
    I myself will make him answer for it.
    But if a prophet presumes to speak in my name
    an oracle that I have not commanded him to speak,
    or speaks in the name of other gods, he shall die.'"

    RESPONSORIAL PSALM

    Ps 95:1-2, 6-7, 7-9

    R. (8)
    If today you hear his voice, harden not your hearts.
    Come, let us sing joyfully to the LORD;
    let us acclaim the rock of our salvation.
    Let us come into his presence with thanksgiving;
    let us joyfully sing psalms to him.
    R.If today you hear his voice, harden not your hearts.
    Come, let us bow down in worship;
    let us kneel before the LORD who made us.
    For he is our God,
    and we are the people he shepherds, the flock he guides.
    R.If today you hear his voice, harden not your hearts.
    Oh, that today you would hear his voice:
    "Harden not your hearts as at Meribah,
    as in the day of Massah in the desert,
    Where your fathers tempted me;
    they tested me though they had seen my works."
    R.If today you hear his voice, harden not your hearts.

    SECOND LECTURE OF THE MASS

    1 Cor 7:32-35

    Brothers and sisters:
    I should like you to be free of anxieties.
    An unmarried man is anxious about the things of the Lord,
    how he may please the Lord.
    But a married man is anxious about the things of the world,
    how he may please his wife, and he is divided.
    An unmarried woman or a virgin is anxious about the things of the Lord,
    so that she may be holy in both body and spirit.
    A married woman, on the other hand,
    is anxious about the things of the world,
    how she may please her husband.
    I am telling you this for your own benefit,
    not to impose a restraint upon you,
    but for the sake of propriety
    and adherence to the Lord without distraction.

    GOSPEL OF THE MASS

    Mk 1:21-28

    Then they came to Capernaum,
    and on the sabbath Jesus entered the synagogue and taught.
    The people were astonished at his teaching,
    for he taught them as one having authority and not as the scribes.
    In their synagogue was a man with an unclean spirit;
    he cried out, "What have you to do with us, Jesus of Nazareth?
    Have you come to destroy us?
    I know who you are?the Holy One of God!"
    Jesus rebuked him and said,
    "Quiet! Come out of him!"
    The unclean spirit convulsed him and with a loud cry came out of him.
    All were amazed and asked one another,
    "What is this?
    A new teaching with authority.
    He commands even the unclean spirits and they obey him."
    His fame spread everywhere throughout the whole region of Galilee.
