• Transfiguration of the Lord 2028:

  FIRST LECTURE OF THE MASS

  Dn 7:9-10, 13-14

  As I watched:
  
  Thrones were set up
  and the Ancient One took his throne.
  His clothing was bright as snow,
  and the hair on his head as white as wool;
  his throne was flames of fire,
  with wheels of burning fire.
  A surging stream of fire
  flowed out from where he sat;
  Thousands upon thousands were ministering to him,
  and myriads upon myriads attended him.
  The court was convened and the books were opened.
  
  As the visions during the night continued, I saw:
  
  One like a Son of man coming,
  on the clouds of heaven;
  When he reached the Ancient One
  and was presented before him,
  The one like a Son of man received dominion, glory, and kingship;
  all peoples, nations, and languages serve him.
  His dominion is an everlasting dominion
  that shall not be taken away,
  his kingship shall not be destroyed.

  RESPONSORIAL PSALM

  Ps 97:1-2, 5-6, 9

  R. (1a and 9a) The Lord is king, the Most High over all the earth.
  The LORD is king; let the earth rejoice;
  let the many islands be glad.
  Clouds and darkness are round about him,
  justice and judgment are the foundation of his throne.
  R. The Lord is king, the Most High over all the earth.
  The mountains melt like wax before the LORD,
  before the LORD of all the earth.
  The heavens proclaim his justice,
  and all peoples see his glory.
  R. The Lord is king, the Most High over all the earth.
  Because you, O LORD, are the Most High over all the earth,
  exalted far above all gods.
  R. The Lord is king, the Most High over all the earth.
  

  SECOND LECTURE OF THE MASS

  2 Pt 1:16-19

  Beloved:
  We did not follow cleverly devised myths
  when we made known to you
  the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ,
  but we had been eyewitnesses of his majesty.
  For he received honor and glory from God the Father
  when that unique declaration came to him from the majestic glory,
  "This is my Son, my beloved, with whom I am well pleased."
  We ourselves heard this voice come from heaven
  while we were with him on the holy mountain.
  Moreover, we possess the prophetic message that is altogether reliable.
  You will do well to be attentive to it,
  as to a lamp shining in a dark place,
  until day dawns and the morning star rises in your hearts.
  

  GOSPEL OF THE MASS

  Mk 9:2-10

  Jesus took Peter, James, and his brother John,
  and led them up a high mountain apart by themselves.
  And he was transfigured before them,
  and his clothes became dazzling white,
  such as no fuller on earth could bleach them.
  Then Elijah appeared to them along with Moses,
  and they were conversing with Jesus.
  Then Peter said to Jesus in reply,
  "Rabbi, it is good that we are here!
  Let us make three tents:
  one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah."
  He hardly knew what to say, they were so terrified.
  Then a cloud came, casting a shadow over them;
  from the cloud came a voice,
  "This is my beloved Son. Listen to him."
  Suddenly, looking around, they no longer saw anyone
  but Jesus alone with them.
  
  As they were coming down from the mountain,
  he charged them not to relate what they had seen to anyone,
  except when the Son of Man had risen from the dead.
  So they kept the matter to themselves,
  questioning what rising from the dead meant.
  

• EIGHTEENTH SUNDAY OF ORDINARY TIME 2028:

  Ordinary Time.

  FIRST LECTURE OF THE MASS

  Ecc 1:2; 2:21-23

  Vanity of vanities, says Qoheleth,
  vanity of vanities! All things are vanity!
  Here is one who has labored with wisdom and knowledge and skill,
  and yet to another who has not labored over it,
  he must leave property.
  This also is vanity and a great misfortune.
  For what profit comes to man from all the toil and anxiety of heart
  with which he has labored under the sun?
  All his days sorrow and grief are his occupation;
  even at night his mind is not at rest.
  This also is vanity.
  

  RESPONSORIAL PSALM

  Ps 90:3-4, 5-6, 12-13, 14, 17

  R. (1)
  If today you hear his voice, harden not your hearts.
  You turn man back to dust,
  saying, "Return, O children of men."
  For a thousand years in your sight
  are as yesterday, now that it is past,
  or as a watch of the night.
  R.If today you hear his voice, harden not your hearts.
  You make an end of them in their sleep;
  the next morning they are like the changing grass,
  Which at dawn springs up anew,
  but by evening wilts and fades.
  R.If today you hear his voice, harden not your hearts.
  Teach us to number our days aright,
  that we may gain wisdom of heart.
  Return, O LORD! How long?
  Have pity on your servants!
  R.If today you hear his voice, harden not your hearts.
  Fill us at daybreak with your kindness,
  that we may shout for joy and gladness all our days.
  And may the gracious care of the LORD our God be ours;
  prosper the work of our hands for us!
  Prosper the work of our hands!
  R.If today you hear his voice, harden not your hearts.
  

  SECOND LECTURE OF THE MASS

  Col 3:1-5, 9-11

  Brothers and sisters:
  If you were raised with Christ, seek what is above,
  where Christ is seated at the right hand of God.
  Think of what is above, not of what is on earth.
  For you have died,
  and your life is hidden with Christ in God.
  When Christ your life appears,
  then you too will appear with him in glory.
  Put to death, then, the parts of you that are earthly:
  immorality, impurity, passion, evil desire,
  and the greed that is idolatry.
  Stop lying to one another,
  since you have taken off the old self with its practices
  and have put on the new self,
  which is being renewed, for knowledge,
  in the image of its creator.
  Here there is not Greek and Jew,
  circumcision and uncircumcision,
  barbarian, Scythian, slave, free;
  but Christ is all and in all.
  

  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 all who store up treasure for themselves
  but are not rich in what matters to God."
