    FIRST LECTURE OF THE MASS

    Galatians 5:18-25

    18But if you are led by the Spirit you are not under the law. 19Now the works of the flesh are plain: fornication, impurity, licentiousness, 20idolatry, sorcery, enmity, strife, jealousy, anger, selfishness, dissension, party spirit, 21envy, drunkenness, carousing, and the like. I warn you, as I warned you before, that those who do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God. 22But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23gentleness, self-control; against such there is no law. 24And those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. 25If we live by the Spirit, let us also walk by the Spirit.

    RESPONSORIAL PSALM

    Psalms 1:1-4, 6

    1Blessed is the man who walks not in the counsel of the wicked, nor stands in the way of sinners, nor sits in the seat of scoffers; 2but his delight is in the law of the LORD, and on his law he meditates day and night. 3He is like a tree planted by streams of water, that yields its fruit in its season, and its leaf does not wither. In all that he does, he prospers. 4The wicked are not so, but are like chaff which the wind drives away. 6for the LORD knows the way of the righteous, but the way of the wicked will perish.

    GOSPEL OF THE MASS

    Luke 11:42-46

    42"But woe to you Pharisees! for you tithe mint and rue and every herb, and neglect justice and the love of God; these you ought to have done, without neglecting the others. 43Woe to you Pharisees! for you love the best seat in the synagogues and salutations in the market places. 44Woe to you! for you are like graves which are not seen, and men walk over them without knowing it." 45One of the lawyers answered him, "Teacher, in saying this you reproach us also." 46And he said, "Woe to you lawyers also! for you load men with burdens hard to bear, and you yourselves do not touch the burdens with one of your fingers.

    FIRST LECTURE OF THE MASS

    is 25:6-10a

    On this mountain the LORD of hosts
    will provide for all peoples
    a feast of rich food and choice wines,
    juicy, rich food and pure, choice wines.
    On this mountain he will destroy
    the veil that veils all peoples,
    the web that is woven over all nations;
    he will destroy death forever.
    The Lord GOD will wipe away
    the tears from every face;
    the reproach of his people he will remove
    from the whole earth; for the LORD has spoken.
    On that day it will be said:
    "Behold our God, to whom we looked to save us!
    This is the LORD for whom we looked;
    let us rejoice and be glad that he has saved us!"
    For the hand of the LORD will rest on this mountain.

    RESPONSORIAL PSALM

    ps 23:1-3a, 3b-4, 5, 6

    R/ (6cd)
    I shall live in the house of the Lord all the days of my life.
    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/
    I shall live in the house of the Lord all the days of my life.
    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/
    I shall live in the house of the Lord all the days of my life.
    You spread the table before me
    in the sight of my foes;
    you anoint my head with oil;
    my cup overflows.
    R/
    I shall live in the house of the Lord all the days of my life.
    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/
    I shall live in the house of the Lord all the days of my life.

    SECOND LECTURE OF THE MASS

    phil 4:12-14, 19-20

    Brothers and sisters:
    I know how to live in humble circumstances;
    I know also how to live with abundance.
    In every circumstance and in all things
    I have learned the secret of being well fed and of going hungry,
    of living in abundance and of being in need.
    I can do all things in him who strengthens me.
    Still, it was kind of you to share in my distress.
    My God will fully supply whatever you need,
    in accord with his glorious riches in Christ Jesus.
    To our God and Father, glory forever and ever. Amen.

    GOSPEL OF THE MASS

    mt 22:1-14

    Jesus again in reply spoke to the chief priests and elders of the people
    in parables, saying,
    "The kingdom of heaven may be likened to a king
    who gave a wedding feast for his son.
    He dispatched his servants
    to summon the invited guests to the feast,
    but they refused to come.
    A second time he sent other servants, saying,
    ‘Tell those invited: "Behold, I have prepared my banquet,
    my calves and fattened cattle are killed,
    and everything is ready; come to the feast."’
    Some ignored the invitation and went away,
    one to his farm, another to his business.
    The rest laid hold of his servants,
    mistreated them, and killed them.
    The king was enraged and sent his troops,
    destroyed those murderers, and burned their city.
    Then he said to his servants, 'The feast is ready,
    but those who were invited were not worthy to come.
    Go out, therefore, into the main roads
    and invite to the feast whomever you find.’
    The servants went out into the streets
    and gathered all they found, bad and good alike,
    and the hall was filled with guests.
    But when the king came in to meet the guests,
    he saw a man there not dressed in a wedding garment.
    The king said to him, 'My friend, how is it
    that you came in here without a wedding garment?'
    But he was reduced to silence.
    Then the king said to his attendants, 'Bind his hands and feet,
    and cast him into the darkness outside,
    where there will be wailing and grinding of teeth.’
    Many are invited, but few are chosen."
