    FIRST LECTURE OF THE MASS

    Ez 16:59-63

    Thus says the LORD:
    I will deal with you according to what you have done,
    you who despised your oath, breaking a covenant.
    Yet I will remember the covenant I made with you when you were a girl,
    and I will set up an everlasting covenant with you.
    Then you shall remember your conduct and be ashamed
    when I take your sisters, those older and younger than you,
    and give them to you as daughters,
    even though I am not bound by my covenant with you.
    For I will re-establish my covenant with you,
    that you may know that I am the LORD,
    that you may remember and be covered with confusion,
    and that you may be utterly silenced for shame
    when I pardon you for all you have done, says the Lord GOD.

    RESPONSORIAL PSALM

    Is 12:2-3, 4bcd, 5-6

    R. (1c) You have turned from your anger.
    God indeed is my savior;
    I am confident and unafraid.
    My strength and my courage is the LORD,
    and he has been my savior.
    With joy you will draw water
    at the fountain of salvation.
    R. You have turned from your anger.
    Give thanks to the LORD, acclaim his name;
    among the nations make known his deeds,
    proclaim how exalted is his name.
    R. You have turned from your anger.
    Sing praise to the LORD for his glorious achievement;
    let this be known throughout all the earth.
    Shout with exultation, O city of Zion,
    for great in your midst
    is the Holy One of Israel!
    R. You have turned from your anger.

    GOSPEL OF THE MASS

    Mt 19:3-12

    Some Pharisees approached Jesus, and tested him, saying,
    "Is it lawful for a man to divorce his wife for any cause whatever?"
    He said in reply, "Have you not read that from the beginning
    the Creator made them male and female and said,
    For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother
    and be joined to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh?
    So they are no longer two, but one flesh.
    Therefore, what God has joined together, man must not separate."
    They said to him, "Then why did Moses command
    that the man give the woman a bill of divorce and dismiss her?"
    He said to them, "Because of the hardness of your hearts
    Moses allowed you to divorce your wives,
    but from the beginning it was not so.
    I say to you, whoever divorces his wife
    (unless the marriage is unlawful)
    and marries another commits adultery."
    His disciples said to him,
    "If that is the case of a man with his wife,
    it is better not to marry."
    He answered, "Not all can accept this word,
    but only those to whom that is granted.
    Some are incapable of marriage because they were born so;
    some, because they were made so by others;
    some, because they have renounced marriage
    for the sake of the Kingdom of heaven.
    Whoever can accept this ought to accept it."
