  FIRST LECTURE OF THE MASS

  Ephesians 1:1-10

  1Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God, To the saints who are also faithful in Christ Jesus: 2Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. 3Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in Christ with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places, 4even as he chose us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and blameless before him. 5He destined us in love to be his sons through Jesus Christ, according to the purpose of his will, 6to the praise of his glorious grace which he freely bestowed on us in the Beloved. 7In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of his grace 8which he lavished upon us. 9For he has made known to us in all wisdom and insight the mystery of his will, according to his purpose which he set forth in Christ 10as a plan for the fulness of time, to unite all things in him, things in heaven and things on earth.

  RESPONSORIAL PSALM

  Psalms 98:1-6

  1O sing to the LORD a new song, for he has done marvelous things! His right hand and his holy arm have gotten him victory. 2The LORD has made known his victory, he has revealed his vindication in the sight of the nations. 3He has remembered his steadfast love and faithfulness to the house of Israel. All the ends of the earth have seen the victory of our God. 4Make a joyful noise to the LORD, all the earth;break forth into joyous song and sing praises! 5Sing praises to the LORD with the lyre, with the lyre and the sound of melody! 6With trumpets and the sound of the horn make a joyful noise before the King, the LORD!

  SECOND LECTURE OF THE MASS

  Luke 11:47-54

  47Woe to you! for you build the tombs of the prophets whom your fathers killed. 48So you are witnesses and consent to the deeds of your fathers;for they killed them, and you build their tombs. 49Therefore also the Wisdom of God said, `I will send them prophets and apostles, some of whom they will kill and persecute,' 50that the blood of all the prophets, shed from the foundation of the world, may be required of this generation, 51from the blood of Abel to the blood of Zechari'ah, who perished between the altar and the sanctuary. Yes, I tell you, it shall be required of this generation. 52Woe to you lawyers! for you have taken away the key of knowledge;you did not enter yourselves, and you hindered those who were entering." 53As he went away from there, the scribes and the Pharisees began to press him hard, and to provoke him to speak of many things, 54lying in wait for him, to catch at something he might say.

  Ordinary Time.

  FIRST LECTURE OF THE MASS

  Rom 4:13, 16-18

  Brothers and sisters:
  It was not through the law
  that the promise was made to Abraham and his descendants
  that he would inherit the world,
  but through the righteousness that comes from faith.
  For this reason, it depends on faith,
  so that it may be a gift,
  and the promise may be guaranteed to all his descendants,
  not to those who only adhere to the law
  but to those who follow the faith of Abraham,
  who is the father of all of us, as it is written,
  I have made you father of many nations.
  He is our father in the sight of God,
  in whom he believed, who gives life to the dead
  and calls into being what does not exist.
  He believed, hoping against hope,
  that he would become the father of many nations,
  according to what was said, Thus shall your descendants be.
  

  RESPONSORIAL PSALM

  PS 105:6-7, 8-9, 42-43

  R. (8a) The Lord remembers his covenant for ever.
  You descendants of Abraham, his servants,
  sons of Jacob, his chosen ones!
  He, the LORD, is our God;
  throughout the earth his judgments prevail.
  R. The Lord remembers his covenant for ever.
  He remembers forever his covenant
  which he made binding for a thousand generations –
  Which he entered into with Abraham
  and by his oath to Isaac.
  R. The Lord remembers his covenant for ever.
  For he remembered his holy word
  to his servant Abraham.
  And he led forth his people with joy;
  with shouts of joy, his chosen ones.
  R. The Lord remembers his covenant for ever.
  

  Alleluia Jn 15:26b, 27a

  R. Alleluia, alleluia.
  The Spirit of truth will testify to me, says the Lord,
  and you also will testify.
  R. Alleluia, alleluia.
  

  GOSPEL OF THE MASS

  Lk 12:8-12

  Jesus said to his disciples:
  "I tell you,
  everyone who acknowledges me before others
  the Son of Man will acknowledge before the angels of God.
  But whoever denies me before others
  will be denied before the angels of God.
  
  "Everyone who speaks a word against the Son of Man will be forgiven,
  but the one who blasphemes against the Holy Spirit
  will not be forgiven.
  When they take you before synagogues and before rulers and authorities,
  do not worry about how or what your defense will be
  or about what you are to say.
  For the Holy Spirit will teach you at that moment what you should say."
