  FIRST LECTURE OF THE MASS

  1 Corinthians 9:16-19, 22-23

  16For if I preach the gospel, that gives me no ground for boasting. For necessity is laid upon me. Woe to me if I do not preach the gospel! 17For if I do this of my own will, I have a reward; but if not of my own will, I am entrusted with a commission. 18What then is my reward? Just this: that in my preaching I may make the gospel free of charge, not making full use of my right in the gospel. 19For though I am free from all men, I have made myself a slave to all, that I might win the more. 22To the weak I became weak, that I might win the weak. I have become all things to all men, that I might by all means save some. 23I do it all for the sake of the gospel, that I may share in its blessings.

  RESPONSORIAL PSALM

  Psalms 117:1-2

  1Praise the LORD, all nations! Extol him, all peoples! 2For great is his steadfast love toward us; and the faithfulness of the LORD endures for ever. Praise the LORD!

  GOSPEL OF THE MASS

  Mark 16:15-20

  15And he said to them, "Go into all the world and preach the gospel to the whole creation. 16He who believes and is baptized will be saved; but he who does not believe will be condemned. 17And these signs will accompany those who believe: in my name they will cast out demons; they will speak in new tongues; 18they will pick up serpents, and if they drink any deadly thing, it will not hurt them; they will lay their hands on the sick, and they will recover." 19So then the Lord Jesus, after he had spoken to them, was taken up into heaven, and sat down at the right hand of God. 20And they went forth and preached everywhere, while the Lord worked with them and confirmed the message by the signs that attended it. Amen.

  FIRST LECTURE OF THE MASS

  Is 2:1-5

  This is what Isaiah, son of Amoz,
  saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem.
  In days to come,
  the mountain of the LORD’s house
  shall be established as the highest mountain
  and raised above the hills.
  All nations shall stream toward it;
  many peoples shall come and say:
  “Come, let us climb the LORD’s mountain,
  to the house of the God of Jacob,
  that he may instruct us in his ways,
  and we may walk in his paths.”
  For from Zion shall go forth instruction,
  and the word of the LORD from Jerusalem.
  He shall judge between the nations,
  and impose terms on many peoples.
  They shall beat their swords into plowshares
  and their spears into pruning hooks;
  one nation shall not raise the sword against another,
  nor shall they train for war again.
  O house of Jacob, come,
  let us walk in the light of the Lord!
  
  

  RESPONSORIAL PSALM

  Ps 122: 1-2, 3-4, 4-5, 6-7, 8-9

  R.Let us go rejoicing to the house of the Lord.
  I rejoiced because they said to me,
  "We will go up to the house of the LORD."
  And now we have set foot
  within your gates, O Jerusalem.
  R.Let us go rejoicing to the house of the Lord.
  Jerusalem, built as a city
  with compact unity.
  To it the tribes go up,
  the tribes of the LORD.
  R.Let us go rejoicing to the house of the Lord.
  According to the decree for Israel,
  to give thanks to the name of the LORD.
  In it are set up judgment seats,
  seats for the house of David.
  R.Let us go rejoicing to the house of the Lord.
  Pray for the peace of Jerusalem!
  May those who love you prosper!
  May peace be within your walls,
  prosperity in your buildings.
  R.Let us go rejoicing to the house of the Lord.
  Because of my brothers and friends
  I will say, "Peace be within you!"
  Because of the house of the LORD, our God,
  I will pray for your good.
  R.Let us go rejoicing to the house of the Lord.
  

  SECOND LECTURE OF THE MASS

  Rom 13:11-14

  Brothers and sisters:
  You know the time;
  it is the hour now for you to awake from sleep.
  For our salvation is nearer now than when we first believed;
  the night is advanced, the day is at hand.
  Let us then throw off the works of darkness
  and put on the armor of light;
  let us conduct ourselves properly as in the day,
  not in orgies and drunkenness,
  not in promiscuity and lust,
  not in rivalry and jealousy.
  But put on the Lord Jesus Christ,
  and make no provision for the desires of the flesh.
  
  

  GOSPEL OF THE MASS

  Mt 24:37-44

  Jesus said to his disciples:
  “As it was in the days of Noah,
  so it will be at the coming of the Son of Man.
  In those days before the flood,
  they were eating and drinking,
  marrying and giving in marriage,
  up to the day that Noah entered the ark.
  They did not know until the flood came and carried them all away.
  So will it be also at the coming of the Son of Man.
  Two men will be out in the field;
  one will be taken, and one will be left.
  Two women will be grinding at the mill;
  one will be taken, and one will be left.
  Therefore, stay awake!
  For you do not know on which day your Lord will come.
  Be sure of this: if the master of the house
  had known the hour of night when the thief was coming,
  he would have stayed awake
  and not let his house be broken into.
  So too, you also must be prepared,
  for at an hour you do not expect, the Son of Man will come.”
