    FIRST LECTURE OF THE MASS

    Ephesians 3:14-21

    14For this reason I bow my knees before the Father, 15from whom every family in heaven and on earth is named, 16that according to the riches of his glory he may grant you to be strengthened with might through his Spirit in the inner man, 17and that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; that you, being rooted and grounded in love, 18may have power to comprehend with all the saints what is the breadth and length and height and depth, 19and to know the love of Christ which surpasses knowledge, that you may be filled with all the fulness of God. 20Now to him who by the power at work within us is able to do far more abundantly than all that we ask or think, 21to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus to all generations, for ever and ever. Amen.

    RESPONSORIAL PSALM

    Psalms 33:1-2, 4-5, 11-12, 18-19

    1Rejoice in the LORD, O you righteous! Praise befits the upright. 2Praise the LORD with the lyre, make melody to him with the harp of ten strings! 4For the word of the LORD is upright; and all his work is done in faithfulness. 5He loves righteousness and justice; the earth is full of the steadfast love of the LORD. 11The counsel of the LORD stands for ever, the thoughts of his heart to all generations. 12Blessed is the nation whose God is the LORD, the people whom he has chosen as his heritage! 18Behold, the eye of the LORD is on those who fear him, on those who hope in his steadfast love, 19that he may deliver their soul from death, and keep them alive in famine.

    GOSPEL OF THE MASS

    Luke 12:49-53

    49"I came to cast fire upon the earth; and would that it were already kindled! 50I have a baptism to be baptized with; and how I am constrained until it is accomplished! 51Do you think that I have come to give peace on earth? No, I tell you, but rather division; 52for henceforth in one house there will be five divided, three against two and two against three; 53they will be divided, father against son and son against father, mother against daughter and daughter against her mother, mother-in-law against her daughter-in-law and daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law."

  • MONDAY TWENTY-NINTH WEEK OF ORDINARY TIME 2023:

    Ordinary Time.

    FIRST LECTURE OF THE MASS

    Rom 4:20-25

    Brothers and sisters:
    Abraham did not doubt God’s promise in unbelief;
    rather, he was empowered by faith and gave glory to God
    and was fully convinced that what God had promised
    he was also able to do.
    That is why it was credited to him as righteousness.
    But it was not for him alone that it was written
    that it was credited to him;
    it was also for us, to whom it will be credited,
    who believe in the one who raised Jesus our Lord from the dead,
    who was handed over for our transgressions
    and was raised for our justification.

    RESPONSORIAL PSALM

    Luke 1:69-70, 71-72, 73-75

    R. (see 68) Blessed be the Lord, the God of Israel; he has come to his people.
    He has come to his people and set them free.
    He has raised up for us a mighty savior,
    born of the house of his servant David.
    R. Blessed be the Lord, the God of Israel; he has come to his people.
    Through his holy prophets he promised of old
    that he would save us from our enemies,
    from the hands of all who hate us.
    He promised to show mercy to our fathers
    and to remember his holy covenant.
    R. Blessed be the Lord, the God of Israel; he has come to his people.
    This was the oath he swore to our father Abraham:
    to set us free from the hands of our enemies,
    free to worship him without fear,
    holy and righteous in his sight all the days of our life.
    R. Blessed be the Lord, the God of Israel; he has come to his people.

    Alleluia Mt 5:3

    R. Alleluia, alleluia.
    Blessed are the poor in spirit;
    for theirs is the Kingdom of heaven.
    R. Alleluia, alleluia.

    GOSPEL OF THE MASS

    Lk 12:13-21

    Someone in the crowd said to Jesus,
    "Teacher, tell my brother to share the inheritance with me."
    He replied to him,
    "Friend, who appointed me as your judge and arbitrator?"
    Then he said to the crowd,
    "Take care to guard against all greed,
    for though one may be rich,
    one's life does not consist of possessions."

    Then he told them a parable.
    "There was a rich man whose land produced a bountiful harvest.
    He asked himself, 'What shall I do,
    for I do not have space to store my harvest?'
    And he said, 'This is what I shall do:
    I shall tear down my barns and build larger ones.
    There I shall store all my grain and other goods
    and I shall say to myself, 'Now as for you,
    you have so many good things stored up for many years,
    rest, eat, drink, be merry!'"
    But God said to him,
    'You fool, this night your life will be demanded of you;
    and the things you have prepared, to whom will they belong?'
    Thus will it be for the one who stores up treasure for himself
    but is not rich in what matters to God."
