    FIRST LECTURE OF THE MASS

    Hebrews 10:32-39

    32But recall the former days when, after you were enlightened, you endured a hard struggle with sufferings,33sometimes being publicly exposed to abuse and affliction, and sometimes being partners with those so treated.34For you had compassion on the prisoners, and you joyfully accepted the plundering of your property, since you knew that you yourselves had a better possession and an abiding one.35Therefore do not throw away your confidence, which has a great reward.36For you have need of endurance, so that you may do the will of God and receive what is promised.37"For yet a little while, and the coming one shall come and shall not tarry;38but my righteous one shall live by faith, and if he shrinks back, my soul has no pleasure in him."39But we are not of those who shrink back and are destroyed, but of those who have faith and keep their souls.

    RESPONSORIAL PSALM

    Psalms 37:3-6, 23-24, 39-40

    3Trust in the LORD, and do good;so you will dwell in the land, and enjoy security. 4Take delight in the LORD, and he will give you the desires of your heart. 5Commit your way to the LORD;trust in him, and he will act. 6He will bring forth your vindication as the light, and your right as the noonday. 23The steps of a man are from the LORD, and he establishes him in whose way he delights;24though he fall, he shall not be cast headlong, for the LORD is the stay of his hand. 39The salvation of the righteous is from the LORD;he is their refuge in the time of trouble. 40The LORD helps them and delivers them;he delivers them from the wicked, and saves them, because they take refuge in him.

    GOSPEL OF THE MASS

    Mark 4:26-34

    26And he said, "The kingdom of God is as if a man should scatter seed upon the ground, 27and should sleep and rise night and day, and the seed should sprout and grow, he knows not how. 28The earth produces of itself, first the blade, then the ear, then the full grain in the ear. 29But when the grain is ripe, at once he puts in the sickle, because the harvest has come." 30And he said, "With what can we compare the kingdom of God, or what parable shall we use for it? 31It is like a grain of mustard seed, which, when sown upon the ground, is the smallest of all the seeds on earth;32yet when it is sown it grows up and becomes the greatest of all shrubs, and puts forth large branches, so that the birds of the air can make nests in its shade." 33With many such parables he spoke the word to them, as they were able to hear it;34he did not speak to them without a parable, but privately to his own disciples he explained everything.

    Ordinary Time.

    FIRST LECTURE OF THE MASS

    Jer 1:4-5, 17-19

    The word of the LORD came to me, saying:
    Before I formed you in the womb I knew you,
    before you were born I dedicated you,
    a prophet to the nations I appointed you.
    But do you gird your loins;
    stand up and tell them
    all that I command you.
    Be not crushed on their account,
    as though I would leave you crushed before them;
    for it is I this day
    who have made you a fortified city,
    a pillar of iron, a wall of brass,
    against the whole land:
    against Judah’s kings and princes,
    against its priests and people.
    They will fight against you but not prevail over you,
    for I am with you to deliver you, says the LORD.

    RESPONSORIAL PSALM

    Ps 71:1-2, 3-4, 5-6, 15-17

    R. (cf. 15ab)
    I will sing of your salvation.
    In you, O LORD, I take refuge;
    let me never be put to shame.
    In your justice rescue me, and deliver me;
    incline your ear to me, and save me.
    R.I will sing of your salvation.
    Be my rock of refuge,
    a stronghold to give me safety,
    for you are my rock and my fortress.
    O my God, rescue me from the hand of the wicked.
    R.I will sing of your salvation.
    For you are my hope, O Lord;
    my trust, O God, from my youth.
    On you I depend from birth;
    from my mother’s womb you are my strength.
    R.I will sing of your salvation.
    My mouth shall declare your justice,
    day by day your salvation.
    O God, you have taught me from my youth,
    and till the present I proclaim your wondrous deeds.
    R.I will sing of your salvation.

    SECOND LECTURE OF THE MASS

    1 Cor 12:31—13:13 or 13:4-13

    Brothers and sisters:
    Strive eagerly for the greatest spiritual gifts.
    But I shall show you a still more excellent way.
    If I speak in human and angelic tongues,
    but do not have love,
    I am a resounding gong or a clashing cymbal.
    And if I have the gift of prophecy,
    and comprehend all mysteries and all knowledge;
    if I have all faith so as to move mountains,
    but do not have love, I am nothing.
    If I give away everything I own,
    and if I hand my body over so that I may boast,
    but do not have love, I gain nothing.
    Love is patient, love is kind.
    It is not jealous, it is not pompous,
    It is not inflated, it is not rude,
    it does not seek its own interests,
    it is not quick-tempered, it does not brood over injury,
    it does not rejoice over wrongdoing
    but rejoices with the truth.
    It bears all things, believes all things,
    hopes all things, endures all things.
    Love never fails.
    If there are prophecies, they will be brought to nothing;
    if tongues, they will cease;
    if knowledge, it will be brought to nothing.
    For we know partially and we prophesy partially,
    but when the perfect comes, the partial will pass away.
    When I was a child, I used to talk as a child,
    think as a child, reason as a child;
    when I became a man, I put aside childish things.
    At present we see indistinctly, as in a mirror,
    but then face to face.
    At present I know partially;
    then I shall know fully, as I am fully known.
    So faith, hope, love remain, these three;
    but the greatest of these is love.

    GOSPEL OF THE MASS

    Lk 4:21-30

    Jesus began speaking in the synagogue, saying:
    "Today this Scripture passage is fulfilled in your hearing."
    And all spoke highly of him
    and were amazed at the gracious words that came from his mouth.
    They also asked, "Isn’t this the son of Joseph?"
    He said to them, "Surely you will quote me this proverb,
    ‘Physician, cure yourself,’ and say,
    ‘Do here in your native place
    the things that we heard were done in Capernaum.’"
    And he said, "Amen, I say to you,
    no prophet is accepted in his own native place.
    Indeed, I tell you,
    there were many widows in Israel in the days of Elijah
    when the sky was closed for three and a half years
    and a severe famine spread over the entire land.
    It was to none of these that Elijah was sent,
    but only to a widow in Zarephath in the land of Sidon.
    Again, there were many lepers in Israel
    during the time of Elisha the prophet;
    yet not one of them was cleansed, but only Naaman the Syrian."
    When the people in the synagogue heard this,
    they were all filled with fury.
    They rose up, drove him out of the town,
    and led him to the brow of the hill
    on which their town had been built,
    to hurl him down headlong.
    But Jesus passed through the midst of them and went away.
