  FIRST LECTURE OF THE MASS

  2 Samuel 7:4-5, 12-14, 16

  4But that same night the word of the LORD came to Nathan, 5"Go and tell my servant David, `Thus says the LORD: Would you build me a house to dwell in? 12When your days are fulfilled and you lie down with your fathers, I will raise up your offspring after you, who shall come forth from your body, and I will establish his kingdom. 13He shall build a house for my name, and I will establish the throne of his kingdom for ever. 14I will be his father, and he shall be my son. When he commits iniquity, I will chasten him with the rod of men, with the stripes of the sons of men; 16And your house and your kingdom shall be made sure for ever before me; your throne shall be established for ever.'"

  RESPONSORIAL PSALM

  Psalms 89:2-5, 27, 29

  1I will sing of thy steadfast love, O LORD, for ever; with my mouth I will proclaim thy faithfulness to all generations. 2For thy steadfast love was established for ever, thy faithfulness is firm as the heavens. 3Thou hast said, "I have made a covenant with my chosen one, I have sworn to David my servant: 4`I will establish your descendants for ever, and build your throne for all generations.'" [Selah] 26He shall cry to me, `Thou art my Father, my God, and the Rock of my salvation.' 28My steadfast love I will keep for him for ever, and my covenant will stand firm for him.

  SECOND LECTURE OF THE MASS

  Romans 4:13, 16-18, 22

  13The promise to Abraham and his descendants, that they should inherit the world, did not come through the law but through the righteousness of faith. 16That is why it depends on faith, in order that the promise may rest on grace and be guaranteed to all his descendants -- not only to the adherents of the law but also to those who share the faith of Abraham, for he is the father of us all, 17as it is written, "I have made you the father of many nations" -- in the presence of the God in whom he believed, who gives life to the dead and calls into existence the things that do not exist. 18In hope he believed against hope, that he should become the father of many nations; as he had been told, "So shall your descendants be." 22That is why his faith was "reckoned to him as righteousness."

  GOSPEL OF THE MASS

  Luke 2:41-51

  41Now his parents went to Jerusalem every year at the feast of the Passover. 42And when he was twelve years old, they went up according to custom; 43and when the feast was ended, as they were returning, the boy Jesus stayed behind in Jerusalem. His parents did not know it, 44but supposing him to be in the company they went a day's journey, and they sought him among their kinsfolk and acquaintances; 45and when they did not find him, they returned to Jerusalem, seeking him. 46After three days they found him in the temple, sitting among the teachers, listening to them and asking them questions; 47and all who heard him were amazed at his understanding and his answers. 48And when they saw him they were astonished; and his mother said to him, "Son, why have you treated us so? Behold, your father and I have been looking for you anxiously." 49And he said to them, "How is it that you sought me? Did you not know that I must be in my Father's house?" 50And they did not understand the saying which he spoke to them. 51And he went down with them and came to Nazareth, and was obedient to them; and his mother kept all these things in her heart.

  Time of Lent.

  FIRST LECTURE OF THE MASS

  Jer 20:10-13

  I hear the whisperings of many:
  “Terror on every side!
  Denounce! let us denounce him!”
  All those who were my friends
  are on the watch for any misstep of mine.
  “Perhaps he will be trapped; then we can prevail,
  and take our vengeance on him.”
  But the LORD is with me, like a mighty champion:
  my persecutors will stumble, they will not triumph.
  In their failure they will be put to utter shame,
  to lasting, unforgettable confusion.
  O LORD of hosts, you who test the just,
  who probe mind and heart,
  Let me witness the vengeance you take on them,
  for to you I have entrusted my cause.
  Sing to the LORD,
  praise the LORD,
  For he has rescued the life of the poor
  from the power of the wicked!

  RESPONSORIAL PSALM

  Ps 18:2-3a, 3bc-4, 5-6, 7

  R. (see 7) In my distress I called upon the Lord, and he heard my voice.
  I love you, O LORD, my strength,
  O LORD, my rock, my fortress, my deliverer.
  R. In my distress I called upon the Lord, and he heard my voice.
  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. In my distress I called upon the Lord, and he heard my voice.
  The breakers of death surged round about me,
  the destroying floods overwhelmed me;
  The cords of the nether world enmeshed me,
  the snares of death overtook me.
  R. In my distress I called upon the Lord, and he heard my voice.
  In my distress I called upon the LORD
  and cried out to my God;
  From his temple he heard my voice,
  and my cry to him reached his ears.
  R. In my distress I called upon the Lord, and he heard my voice.

  GOSPEL OF THE MASS

  Jn 10:31-42

  The Jews picked up rocks to stone Jesus.
  Jesus answered them, “I have shown you many good works from my Father.
  For which of these are you trying to stone me?”
  The Jews answered him,
  “We are not stoning you for a good work but for blasphemy.
  You, a man, are making yourself God.”
  Jesus answered them,
  “Is it not written in your law, ‘I said, ‘You are gods”‘?
  If it calls them gods to whom the word of God came,
  and Scripture cannot be set aside,
  can you say that the one
  whom the Father has consecrated and sent into the world
  blasphemes because I said, ‘I am the Son of God’?
  If I do not perform my Father’s works, do not believe me;
  but if I perform them, even if you do not believe me,
  believe the works, so that you may realize and understand
  that the Father is in me and I am in the Father.”
  Then they tried again to arrest him;
  but he escaped from their power.
  
  He went back across the Jordan
  to the place where John first baptized, and there he remained.
  Many came to him and said,
  “John performed no sign,
  but everything John said about this man was true.”
  And many there began to believe in him.
