    FIRST LECTURE OF THE MASS

    1 Corinthians 1:26-31

    26For consider your call, brethren; not many of you were wise according to worldly standards, not many were powerful, not many were of noble birth; 27but God chose what is foolish in the world to shame the wise, God chose what is weak in the world to shame the strong, 28God chose what is low and despised in the world, even things that are not, to bring to nothing things that are, 29so that no human being might boast in the presence of God. 30He is the source of your life in Christ Jesus, whom God made our wisdom, our righteousness and sanctification and redemption; 31therefore, as it is written, "Let him who boasts, boast of the Lord."

    RESPONSORIAL PSALM

    Psalms 23:1-6

    1The LORD is my shepherd, I shall not want; 2he makes me lie down in green pastures. He leads me beside still waters; 3he restores my soul. He leads me in paths of righteousness for his name's sake. 4Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I fear no evil; for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff, they comfort me. 5Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of my enemies; thou anointest my head with oil, my cup overflows. 6Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life; and I shall dwell in the house of the LORD for ever.

    GOSPEL OF THE MASS

    Matthew 13:44-46

    44"The kingdom of heaven is like treasure hidden in a field, which a man found and covered up; then in his joy he goes and sells all that he has and buys that field. 45"Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant in search of fine pearls, 46who, on finding one pearl of great value, went and sold all that he had and bought it.

  • SATURDAY SECOND WEEK OF ORDINARY TIME 2023:

    Ordinary Time.

    FIRST LECTURE OF THE MASS

    Heb 9:2-3, 11-14

    A tabernacle was constructed, the outer one,
    in which were the lampstand, the table, and the bread of offering;
    this is called the Holy Place.
    Behind the second veil was the tabernacle called the Holy of Holies.

    But when Christ came as high priest of the good things that have come to be,
    passing through the greater and more perfect tabernacle not made by hands,
    that is, not belonging to this creation,
    he entered once for all into the sanctuary,
    not with the blood of goats and calves but with his own Blood,
    thus obtaining eternal redemption.
    For if the blood of goats and bulls and the sprinkling of a heifer’s ashes
    can sanctify those who are defiled
    so that their flesh is cleansed,
    how much more will the Blood of Christ,
    who through the eternal spirit offered himself unblemished to God,
    cleanse our consciences from dead works to worship the living God.

    RESPONSORIAL PSALM

    Ps 47:2-3, 6-7, 8-9

    R. (6) God mounts his throne to shouts of joy: a blare of trumpets for the Lord.
    All you peoples, clap your hands,
    shout to God with cries of gladness,
    For the LORD, the Most High, the awesome,
    is the great king over all the earth.
    R. God mounts his throne to shouts of joy: a blare of trumpets for the Lord.
    God mounts his throne amid shouts of joy;
    the LORD, amid trumpet blasts.
    Sing praise to God, sing praise;
    sing praise to our king, sing praise.
    R. God mounts his throne to shouts of joy: a blare of trumpets for the Lord.
    For king of all the earth is God:
    sing hymns of praise.
    God reigns over the nations,
    God sits upon his holy throne.
    R. God mounts his throne to shouts of joy: a blare of trumpets for the Lord.

    Alleluia See Acts 16:14b

    R. Alleluia, alleluia.
    Open our hearts, O Lord,
    to listen to the words of your Son.
    R. Alleluia, alleluia.

    GOSPEL OF THE MASS

    Mk 3:20-21

    Jesus came with his disciples into the house.
    Again the crowd gathered,
    making it impossible for them even to eat.
    When his relatives heard of this they set out to seize him,
    for they said, "He is out of his mind."
