  FIRST LECTURE OF THE MASS

  Leviticus 19:1-2, 11-18

  1And the LORD said to Moses, 2"Say to all the congregation of the people of Israel, You shall be holy; for I the LORD your God am holy. 11"You shall not steal, nor deal falsely, nor lie to one another. 12And you shall not swear by my name falsely, and so profane the name of your God: I am the LORD. 13"You shall not oppress your neighbor or rob him. The wages of a hired servant shall not remain with you all night until the morning. 14You shall not curse the deaf or put a stumbling block before the blind, but you shall fear your God: I am the LORD. 15"You shall do no injustice in judgment; you shall not be partial to the poor or defer to the great, but in righteousness shall you judge your neighbor. 16You shall not go up and down as a slanderer among your people, and you shall not stand forth against the life of your neighbor: I am the LORD. 17"You shall not hate your brother in your heart, but you shall reason with your neighbor, lest you bear sin because of him. 18You shall not take vengeance or bear any grudge against the sons of your own people, but you shall love your neighbor as yourself: I am the LORD.

  RESPONSORIAL PSALM

  Psalms 19:8-10, 15

  7The law of the LORD is perfect, reviving the soul; the testimony of the LORD is sure, making wise the simple; 8the precepts of the LORD are right, rejoicing the heart; the commandment of the LORD is pure, enlightening the eyes; 9the fear of the LORD is clean, enduring for ever; the ordinances of the LORD are true, and righteous altogether. 14Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in thy sight, O LORD, my rock and my redeemer.

  GOSPEL OF THE MASS

  Matthew 25:31-46

  31"When the Son of man comes in his glory, and all the angels with him, then he will sit on his glorious throne. 32Before him will be gathered all the nations, and he will separate them one from another as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats, 33and he will place the sheep at his right hand, but the goats at the left. 34Then the King will say to those at his right hand, `Come, O blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world; 35for I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me drink, I was a stranger and you welcomed me, 36I was naked and you clothed me, I was sick and you visited me, I was in prison and you came to me.' 37Then the righteous will answer him, `Lord, when did we see thee hungry and feed thee, or thirsty and give thee drink? 38And when did we see thee a stranger and welcome thee, or naked and clothe thee? 39And when did we see thee sick or in prison and visit thee?' 40And the King will answer them, `Truly, I say to you, as you did it to one of the least of these my brethren, you did it to me.' 41Then he will say to those at his left hand, `Depart from me, you cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels; 42for I was hungry and you gave me no food, I was thirsty and you gave me no drink, 43I was a stranger and you did not welcome me, naked and you did not clothe me, sick and in prison and you did not visit me.' 44Then they also will answer, `Lord, when did we see thee hungry or thirsty or a stranger or naked or sick or in prison, and did not minister to thee?' 45Then he will answer them, `Truly, I say to you, as you did it not to one of the least of these, you did it not to me.' 46And they will go away into eternal punishment, but the righteous into eternal life."

• TUESDAY SECOND WEEK OF LENT 2027:

  Time of Lent.

  FIRST LECTURE OF THE MASS

  Is 1:10, 16-20

  Hear the word of the LORD,
  princes of Sodom!
  Listen to the instruction of our God,
  people of Gomorrah!
  
  Wash yourselves clean!
  Put away your misdeeds from before my eyes;
  cease doing evil; learn to do good.
  Make justice your aim: redress the wronged,
  hear the orphan’s plea, defend the widow.
  
  Come now, let us set things right,
  says the LORD:
  Though your sins be like scarlet,
  they may become white as snow;
  Though they be crimson red,
  they may become white as wool.
  If you are willing, and obey,
  you shall eat the good things of the land;
  But if you refuse and resist,
  the sword shall consume you:
  for the mouth of the LORD has spoken!
  
  

  RESPONSORIAL PSALM

  Ps 50:8-9, 16bc-17, 21 and 23

  R. (23b) To the upright I will show the saving power of God.
  “Not for your sacrifices do I rebuke you,
  for your burnt offerings are before me always.
  I take from your house no bullock,
  no goats out of your fold.”
  R. To the upright I will show the saving power of God.
  “Why do you recite my statutes,
  and profess my covenant with your mouth,
  Though you hate discipline
  and cast my words behind you?”
  R. To the upright I will show the saving power of God.
  “When you do these things, shall I be deaf to it?
  Or do you think that I am like yourself?
  I will correct you by drawing them up before your eyes.
  He that offers praise as a sacrifice glorifies me;
  and to him that goes the right way I will show the salvation of God.”
  R. To the upright I will show the saving power of God.
  
  

  GOSPEL OF THE MASS

  Mt 23:1-12

  Jesus spoke to the crowds and to his disciples, saying,
  “The scribes and the Pharisees
  have taken their seat on the chair of Moses.
  Therefore, do and observe all things whatsoever they tell you,
  but do not follow their example.
  For they preach but they do not practice.
  They tie up heavy burdens hard to carry
  and lay them on people’s shoulders,
  but they will not lift a finger to move them.
  All their works are performed to be seen.
  They widen their phylacteries and lengthen their tassels.
  They love places of honor at banquets, seats of honor in synagogues,
  greetings in marketplaces, and the salutation ‘Rabbi.’
  As for you, do not be called ‘Rabbi.’
  You have but one teacher, and you are all brothers.
  Call no one on earth your father;
  you have but one Father in heaven.
  Do not be called ‘Master’;
  you have but one master, the Christ.
  The greatest among you must be your servant.
  Whoever exalts himself will be humbled;
  but whoever humbles himself will be exalted.”
