    RESPONSORIAL PSALM

    Luke 1:46-55

    46And Mary said, "My soul magnifies the Lord, 47and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior, 48for he has regarded the low estate of his handmaiden. For behold, henceforth all generations will call me blessed; 49for he who is mighty has done great things for me, and holy is his name. 50And his mercy is on those who fear him from generation to generation. 51He has shown strength with his arm, he has scattered the proud in the imagination of their hearts, 52he has put down the mighty from their thrones, and exalted those of low degree; 53he has filled the hungry with good things, and the rich he has sent empty away. 54He has helped his servant Israel, in remembrance of his mercy, 55as he spoke to our fathers, to Abraham and to his posterity for ever."

    46While he was still speaking to the people, behold, his mother and his brothers stood outside, asking to speak to him. 48But he replied to the man who told him, "Who is my mother, and who are my brothers?" 49And stretching out his hand toward his disciples, he said, "Here are my mother and my brothers! 50For whoever does the will of my Father in heaven is my brother, and sister, and mother."

  • THURSDAY THIRTY-THIRD WEEK OF ORDINARY TIME 2024:

    Ordinary Time.

    FIRST LECTURE OF THE MASS

    Rv 5:1-10

    I, John, saw a scroll in the right hand of the one who sat on the throne.
    It had writing on both sides and was sealed with seven seals.
    Then I saw a mighty angel who proclaimed in a loud voice,
    "Who is worthy to open the scroll and break its seals?"
    But no one in heaven or on earth or under the earth
    was able to open the scroll or to examine it.
    I shed many tears because no one was found worthy
    to open the scroll or to examine it.
    One of the elders said to me, "Do not weep.
    The lion of the tribe of Judah, the root of David, has triumphed,
    enabling him to open the scroll with its seven seals."

    Then I saw standing in the midst of the throne
    and the four living creatures and the elders
    a Lamb that seemed to have been slain.
    He had seven horns and seven eyes;
    these are the seven spirits of God sent out into the whole world.
    He came and received the scroll from the right hand
    of the one who sat on the throne.
    When he took it,
    the four living creatures and the twenty-four elders
    fell down before the Lamb.
    Each of the elders held a harp and gold bowls filled with incense,
    which are the prayers of the holy ones.
    They sang a new hymn:

    "Worthy are you to receive the scroll
    and break open its seals,
    for you were slain and with your Blood you purchased for God
    those from every tribe and tongue, people and nation.
    You made them a kingdom and priests for our God,
    and they will reign on earth."

    RESPONSORIAL PSALM

    Ps 149:1b-2, 3-4, 5-6a and 9b

    R. (Rev. 5:10) The Lamb has made us a kingdom of priests to serve our God.
    or:
    R. Alleluia.
    Sing to the LORD a new song
    of praise in the assembly of the faithful.
    Let Israel be glad in their maker,
    let the children of Zion rejoice in their king.
    R. The Lamb has made us a kingdom of priests to serve our God.
    or:
    R. Alleluia.
    Let them praise his name in the festive dance,
    let them sing praise to him with timbrel and harp.
    For the LORD loves his people,
    and he adorns the lowly with victory.
    R. The Lamb has made us a kingdom of priests to serve our God.
    or:
    R. Alleluia.
    Let the faithful exult in glory;
    let them sing for joy upon their couches;
    Let the high praises of God be in their throats.
    This is the glory of all his faithful. Alleluia.
    R. The Lamb has made us a kingdom of priests to serve our God.
    or:
    R. Alleluia.

    GOSPEL OF THE MASS

    Lk 19:41-44

    As Jesus drew near Jerusalem,
    he saw the city and wept over it, saying,
    "If this day you only knew what makes for peace--
    but now it is hidden from your eyes.
    For the days are coming upon you
    when your enemies will raise a palisade against you;
    they will encircle you and hem you in on all sides.
    They will smash you to the ground and your children within you,
    and they will not leave one stone upon another within you
    because you did not recognize the time of your visitation."
