  FIRST LECTURE OF THE MASS

  Acts 4:8-12

  8Then Peter, filled with the Holy Spirit, said to them, "Rulers of the people and elders, 9if we are being examined today concerning a good deed done to a cripple, by what means this man has been healed, 10be it known to you all, and to all the people of Israel, that by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom you crucified, whom God raised from the dead, by him this man is standing before you well. 11This is the stone which was rejected by you builders, but which has become the head of the corner. 12And there is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved."

  RESPONSORIAL PSALM

  Psalms 40:2, 4, 7-11

  1I waited patiently for the LORD; he inclined to me and heard my cry. 3He put a new song in my mouth, a song of praise to our God. Many will see and fear, and put their trust in the LORD. 6Sacrifice and offering thou dost not desire; but thou hast given me an open ear. Burnt offering and sin offering thou hast not required. 7Then I said, "Lo, I come; in the roll of the book it is written of me;8I delight to do thy will, O my God; thy law is within my heart." 9I have told the glad news of deliverance in the great congregation; lo, I have not restrained my lips, as thou knowest, O LORD. 10I have not hid thy saving help within my heart, I have spoken of thy faithfulness and thy salvation; I have not concealed thy steadfast love and thy faithfulness from the great congregation.

  SECOND LECTURE OF THE MASS

  John 17:11-19

  11And now I am no more in the world, but they are in the world, and I am coming to thee. Holy Father, keep them in thy name, which thou hast given me, that they may be one, even as we are one. 12While I was with them, I kept them in thy name, which thou hast given me; I have guarded them, and none of them is lost but the son of perdition, that the scripture might be fulfilled. 13But now I am coming to thee; and these things I speak in the world, that they may have my joy fulfilled in themselves. 14I have given them thy word; and the world has hated them because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world. 15I do not pray that thou shouldst take them out of the world, but that thou shouldst keep them from the evil one. 16They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world. 17Sanctify them in the truth; thy word is truth. 18As thou didst send me into the world, so I have sent them into the world. 19And for their sake I consecrate myself, that they also may be consecrated in truth.

  GOSPEL OF THE MASS

  Luke 9:57-62

  57As they were going along the road, a man said to him, "I will follow you wherever you go." 58And Jesus said to him, "Foxes have holes, and birds of the air have nests; but the Son of man has nowhere to lay his head." 59To another he said, "Follow me." But he said, "Lord, let me first go and bury my father." 60But he said to him, "Leave the dead to bury their own dead; but as for you, go and proclaim the kingdom of God." 61Another said, "I will follow you, Lord; but let me first say farewell to those at my home." 62Jesus said to him, "No one who puts his hand to the plow and looks back is fit for the kingdom of God."

• THURSDAY SEVENTH WEEK OF ORDINARY TIME 2027:

  Ordinary Time.

  FIRST LECTURE OF THE MASS

  Sir 5:1-8

  Rely not on your wealth;
  say not: “I have the power.”
  Rely not on your strength
  in following the desires of your heart.
  Say not: “Who can prevail against me?”
  or, “Who will subdue me for my deeds?”
  for God will surely exact the punishment.
  Say not: “I have sinned, yet what has befallen me?”
  for the Most High bides his time.
  Of forgiveness be not overconfident,
  adding sin upon sin.
  Say not: “Great is his mercy;
  my many sins he will forgive.”
  For mercy and anger alike are with him;
  upon the wicked alights his wrath.
  Delay not your conversion to the LORD,
  put it not off from day to day.
  For suddenly his wrath flames forth;
  at the time of vengeance you will be destroyed.
  Rely not upon deceitful wealth,
  for it will be no help on the day of wrath.

  RESPONSORIAL PSALM

  PS 1:1-2, 3, 4 and 6

  R. (40:5a) Blessed are they who hope in the Lord.
  Blessed the man who follows not
  the counsel of the wicked
  Nor walks in the way of sinners,
  nor sits in the company of the insolent,
  But delights in the law of the LORD
  and meditates on his law day and night.
  R. Blessed are they who hope in the Lord.
  He is like a tree
  planted near running water,
  That yields its fruit in due season,
  and whose leaves never fade.
  Whatever he does, prospers.
  R. Blessed are they who hope in the Lord.
  Not so the wicked, not so;
  they are like chaff which the wind drives away.
  For the LORD watches over the way of the just,
  but the way of the wicked vanishes.
  R. Blessed are they who hope in the Lord.

  GOSPEL OF THE MASS

  mk 9:41-50

  Jesus said to his disciples:
  “Anyone who gives you a cup of water to drink
  because you belong to Christ,
  amen, I say to you, will surely not lose his reward.
  
  “Whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in me to sin,
  it would be better for him if a great millstone
  were put around his neck
  and he were thrown into the sea.
  If your hand causes you to sin, cut it off.
  It is better for you to enter into life maimed
  than with two hands to go into Gehenna,
  into the unquenchable fire.
  And if your foot causes you to sin, cut if off.
  It is better for you to enter into life crippled
  than with two feet to be thrown into Gehenna.
  And if your eye causes you to sin, pluck it out.
  Better for you to enter into the Kingdom of God with one eye
  than with two eyes to be thrown into Gehenna,
  where their worm does not die, and the fire is not quenched.
  
  “Everyone will be salted with fire.
  Salt is good, but if salt becomes insipid,
  with what will you restore its flavor?
  Keep salt in yourselves and you will have peace with one another.”
