    FIRST LECTURE OF THE MASS

    Philippians 2:1-4

    1So if there is any encouragement in Christ, any incentive of love, any participation in the Spirit, any affection and sympathy, 2complete my joy by being of the same mind, having the same love, being in full accord and of one mind. 3Do nothing from selfishness or conceit, but in humility count others better than yourselves. 4Let each of you look not only to his own interests, but also to the interests of others.

    RESPONSORIAL PSALM

    Psalms 131:1-3

    1O LORD, my heart is not lifted up, my eyes are not raised too high; I do not occupy myself with things too great and too marvelous for me. 2But I have calmed and quieted my soul, like a child quieted at its mother's breast; like a child that is quieted is my soul. 3O Israel, hope in the LORD from this time forth and for evermore.

    GOSPEL OF THE MASS

    Luke 14:12-14

    12He said also to the man who had invited him, "When you give a dinner or a banquet, do not invite your friends or your brothers or your kinsmen or rich neighbors, lest they also invite you in return, and you be repaid. 13But when you give a feast, invite the poor, the maimed, the lame, the blind, 14and you will be blessed, because they cannot repay you. You will be repaid at the resurrection of the just."

    Ordinary Time.

    FIRST LECTURE OF THE MASS

    Dt 6:2-6

    Moses spoke to the people, saying:
    "Fear the LORD, your God,
    and keep, throughout the days of your lives,
    all his statutes and commandments which I enjoin on you,
    and thus have long life.
    Hear then, Israel, and be careful to observe them,
    that you may grow and prosper the more,
    in keeping with the promise of the LORD, the God of your fathers,
    to give you a land flowing with milk and honey.
    "Hear, O Israel! The LORD is our God, the LORD alone!
    Therefore, you shall love the LORD, your God,
    with all your heart,
    and with all your soul,
    and with all your strength.
    Take to heart these words which I enjoin on you today."

    RESPONSORIAL PSALM

    Ps 18:2-3, 3-4, 47, 51

    R. (2)
    I love you, Lord, my strength.
    I love you, O LORD, my strength,
    O LORD, my rock, my fortress, my deliverer.
    R.I love you, Lord, my strength.
    My God, my rock of refuge,
    my shield, the horn of my salvation, my stronghold!
    Praised be the LORD, I exclaim,
    and I am safe from my enemies.
    R.I love you, Lord, my strength.
    The LORD lives! And blessed be my rock!
    Extolled be God my savior.
    You who gave great victories to your king
    and showed kindness to your anointed.
    R.I love you, Lord, my strength.

    SECOND LECTURE OF THE MASS

    Heb 7:23-28

    Brothers and sisters:
    The levitical priests were many
    because they were prevented by death from remaining in office,
    but Jesus, because he remains forever,
    has a priesthood that does not pass away.
    Therefore, he is always able to save those who approach God through him,
    since he lives forever to make intercession for them.
    It was fitting that we should have such a high priest:
    holy, innocent, undefiled, separated from sinners,
    higher than the heavens.
    He has no need, as did the high priests,
    to offer sacrifice day after day,
    first for his own sins and then for those of the people;
    he did that once for all when he offered himself.
    For the law appoints men subject to weakness to be high priests,
    but the word of the oath, which was taken after the law,
    appoints a son,
    who has been made perfect forever.

    GOSPEL OF THE MASS

    Mk 12:28b-34

    One of the scribes came to Jesus and asked him,
    "Which is the first of all the commandments?"
    Jesus replied, "The first is this:
    Hear, O Israel!
    The Lord our God is Lord alone!
    You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart,
    with all your soul,
    with all your mind,
    and with all your strength.
    The second is this:
    You shall love your neighbor as yourself.
    There is no other commandment greater than these."
    The scribe said to him, "Well said, teacher.
    You are right in saying,
    'He is One and there is no other than he.'
    And 'to love him with all your heart,
    with all your understanding,
    with all your strength,
    and to love your neighbor as yourself'
    is worth more than all burnt offerings and sacrifices."
    And when Jesus saw that he answered with understanding,
    he said to him,
    "You are not far from the kingdom of God."
    And no one dared to ask him any more questions.
