  FIRST LECTURE OF THE MASS

  Isaiah 6:1-8

  1In the year that King Uzzi'ah died I saw the Lord sitting upon a throne, high and lifted up;and his train filled the temple. 2Above him stood the seraphim;each had six wings: with two he covered his face, and with two he covered his feet, and with two he flew. 3And one called to another and said: "Holy, holy, holy is the LORD of hosts;the whole earth is full of his glory." 4And the foundations of the thresholds shook at the voice of him who called, and the house was filled with smoke. 5And I said: "Woe is me! For I am lost;for I am a man of unclean lips, and I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips;for my eyes have seen the King, the LORD of hosts!" 6Then flew one of the seraphim to me, having in his hand a burning coal which he had taken with tongs from the altar. 7And he touched my mouth, and said: "Behold, this has touched your lips;your guilt is taken away, and your sin forgiven." 8And I heard the voice of the Lord saying, "Whom shall I send, and who will go for us?" Then I said, "Here am I! Send me."

  RESPONSORIAL PSALM

  Psalms 40:2, 4, 7-11

  1I waited patiently for the LORD;he inclined to me and heard my cry. 3He put a new song in my mouth, a song of praise to our God. Many will see and fear, and put their trust in the LORD. 6Sacrifice and offering thou dost not desire;but thou hast given me an open ear. Burnt offering and sin offering thou hast not required. 7Then I said, "Lo, I come;in the roll of the book it is written of me;8I delight to do thy will, O my God;thy law is within my heart." 9I have told the glad news of deliverance in the great congregation;lo, I have not restrained my lips, as thou knowest, O LORD. 10I have not hid thy saving help within my heart, I have spoken of thy faithfulness and thy salvation;I have not concealed thy steadfast love and thy faithfulness from the great congregation.

  GOSPEL OF THE MASS

  Luke 10:1-9

  1After this the Lord appointed seventy others, and sent them on ahead of him, two by two, into every town and place where he himself was about to come. 2And he said to them, "The harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few;pray therefore the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into his harvest. 3Go your way;behold, I send you out as lambs in the midst of wolves. 4Carry no purse, no bag, no sandals;and salute no one on the road. 5Whatever house you enter, first say, `Peace be to this house!' 6And if a son of peace is there, your peace shall rest upon him;but if not, it shall return to you. 7And remain in the same house, eating and drinking what they provide, for the laborer deserves his wages;do not go from house to house. 8Whenever you enter a town and they receive you, eat what is set before you;9heal the sick in it and say to them, `The kingdom of God has come near to you.'

  Advent Time.

  FIRST LECTURE OF THE MASS

  Is 40:1-11

  Comfort, give comfort to my people,
  says your God.
  Speak tenderly to Jerusalem, and proclaim to her
  that her service is at an end,
  her guilt is expiated;
  Indeed, she has received from the hand of the LORD
  double for all her sins.
  
  A voice cries out:
  In the desert prepare the way of the LORD!
  Make straight in the wasteland a highway for our God!
  Every valley shall be filled in,
  every mountain and hill shall be made low;
  The rugged land shall be made a plain,
  the rough country, a broad valley.
  Then the glory of the LORD shall be revealed,
  and all people shall see it together;
  for the mouth of the LORD has spoken.
  
  A voice says, “Cry out!”
  I answer, “What shall I cry out?”
  “All flesh is grass,
  and all their glory like the flower of the field.
  The grass withers, the flower wilts,
  when the breath of the LORD blows upon it.
  So then, the people is the grass.
  Though the grass withers and the flower wilts,
  the word of our God stands forever.”
  
  Go up onto a high mountain,
  Zion, herald of glad tidings;
  Cry out at the top of your voice,
  Jerusalem, herald of good news!
  Fear not to cry out
  and say to the cities of Judah:
  Here is your God!
  Here comes with power
  the Lord GOD,
  who rules by his strong arm;
  Here is his reward with him,
  his recompense before him.
  Like a shepherd he feeds his flock;
  in his arms he gathers the lambs,
  Carrying them in his bosom,
  and leading the ewes with care.
  
  

  RESPONSORIAL PSALM

  PS 96:1-2, 3 and 10ac, 11-12, 13

  R. (see Isaiah 40:10ab) The Lord our God comes with power.
  Sing to the LORD a new song;
  sing to the LORD, all you lands.
  Sing to the LORD;bless his name;
  announce his salvation, day after day.
  R. The Lord our God comes with power.
  Tell his glory among the nations;
  among all peoples, his wondrous deeds.
  Say among the nations: The LORD is king;
  he governs the peoples with equity.
  R. The Lord our God comes with power.
  Let the heavens be glad and the earth rejoice;
  let the sea and what fills it resound;
  let the plains be joyful and all that is in them!
  Then let all the trees of the forest rejoice.
  R. The Lord our God comes with power.
  They shall exult before the LORD, for he comes;
  for he comes to rule the earth.
  He shall rule the world with justice
  and the peoples with his constancy.
  R. The Lord our God comes with power.
  
  

  GOSPEL OF THE MASS

  Mt 18:12-14

  Jesus said to his disciples:
  “What is your opinion?
  If a man has a hundred sheep and one of them goes astray,
  will he not leave the ninety-nine in the hills
  and go in search of the stray?
  And if he finds it, amen, I say to you, he rejoices more over it
  than over the ninety-nine that did not stray.
  In just the same way, it is not the will of your heavenly Father
  that one of these little ones be lost.”
