  FIRST LECTURE OF THE MASS

  Isaiah 1:10, 16-20

  10Hear the word of the LORD, you rulers of Sodom! Give ear to the teaching of our God, you people of Gomor'rah! 16Wash yourselves; make yourselves clean; remove the evil of your doings from before my eyes; cease to do evil, 17learn to do good; seek justice, correct oppression; defend the fatherless, plead for the widow. 18"Come now, let us reason together, says the LORD: though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they are red like crimson, they shall become like wool. 19If you are willing and obedient, you shall eat the good of the land; 20But if you refuse and rebel, you shall be devoured by the sword; for the mouth of the LORD has spoken."

  RESPONSORIAL PSALM

  Psalms 50:8-9, 16-17, 21, 23

  8I do not reprove you for your sacrifices; your burnt offerings are continually before me. 9I will accept no bull from your house, nor he-goat from your folds. 16But to the wicked God says: "What right have you to recite my statutes, or take my covenant on your lips? 17For you hate discipline, and you cast my words behind you. 21These things you have done and I have been silent; you thought that I was one like yourself. But now I rebuke you, and lay the charge before you. 23He who brings thanksgiving as his sacrifice honors me; to him who orders his way aright I will show the salvation of God!"

  GOSPEL OF THE MASS

  Matthew 23:1-12

  1Then said Jesus to the crowds and to his disciples, 2"The scribes and the Pharisees sit on Moses' seat; 3so practice and observe whatever they tell you, but not what they do; for they preach, but do not practice. 4They bind heavy burdens, hard to bear, and lay them on men's shoulders; but they themselves will not move them with their finger. 5They do all their deeds to be seen by men; for they make their phylacteries broad and their fringes long, 6and they love the place of honor at feasts and the best seats in the synagogues, 7and salutations in the market places, and being called rabbi by men. 8But you are not to be called rabbi, for you have one teacher, and you are all brethren. 9And call no man your father on earth, for you have one Father, who is in heaven. 10Neither be called masters, for you have one master, the Christ. 11He who is greatest among you shall be your servant; 12whoever exalts himself will be humbled, and whoever humbles himself will be exalted.

  Time of Lent.

  FIRST LECTURE OF THE MASS

  Dt 4:1, 5-9

  Moses spoke to the people and said:
  “Now, Israel, hear the statutes and decrees
  which I am teaching you to observe,
  that you may live, and may enter in and take possession of the land
  which the LORD, the God of your fathers, is giving you.
  Therefore, I teach you the statutes and decrees
  as the LORD, my God, has commanded me,
  that you may observe them in the land you are entering to occupy.
  Observe them carefully,
  for thus will you give evidence
  of your wisdom and intelligence to the nations,
  who will hear of all these statutes and say,
  ‘This great nation is truly a wise and intelligent people.’
  For what great nation is there
  that has gods so close to it as the LORD, our God, is to us
  whenever we call upon him?
  Or what great nation has statutes and decrees
  that are as just as this whole law
  which I am setting before you today?
  
  “However, take care and be earnestly on your guard
  not to forget the things which your own eyes have seen,
  nor let them slip from your memory as long as you live,
  but teach them to your children and to your children’s children.”

  RESPONSORIAL PSALM

  PS 147:12-13, 15-16, 19-20

  R. (12a) Praise the Lord, Jerusalem.
  Glorify the LORD, O Jerusalem;
  praise your God, O Zion.
  For he has strengthened the bars of your gates;
  he has blessed your children within you.
  R. Praise the Lord, Jerusalem.
  He sends forth his command to the earth;
  swiftly runs his word!
  He spreads snow like wool;
  frost he strews like ashes.
  R. Praise the Lord, Jerusalem.
  He has proclaimed his word to Jacob,
  his statutes and his ordinances to Israel.
  He has not done thus for any other nation;
  his ordinances he has not made known to them.
  R. Praise the Lord, Jerusalem.

  GOSPEL OF THE MASS

  Mt 5:17-19

  Jesus said to his disciples:
  “Do not think that I have come to abolish the law or the prophets.
  I have come not to abolish but to fulfill.
  Amen, I say to you, until heaven and earth pass away,
  not the smallest letter or the smallest part of a letter
  will pass from the law,
  until all things have taken place.
  Therefore, whoever breaks one of the least of these commandments
  and teaches others to do so
  will be called least in the Kingdom of heaven.
  But whoever obeys and teaches these commandments
  will be called greatest in the Kingdom of heaven.”
