Léctio libri Levítici

In diébus illis: Locútus est Dóminus ad Móysen, dicens: Décimo die mensis hujus séptimi, dies expiatiónum erit celebérrimus, et vocábitur sanctus: affligetísque ánimas vestras in eo, et offerétis holocáustum Dómino. Omne opus servíle non faciétis in témpore diéi hujus: quia dies propitiatiónis est, ut propitiétur vobis Dóminus, Deus vester. Omnis ánima, quæ afflicta non fúerit die hac, períbit de pópulis suis: et quæ óperis quídpiam fécerit, delébo eam de pópulo suo. Nihil ergo óperis faciétis in eo: legítimum sempitérnum erit vobis in cunctis generatiónibus et habitatiónibus vestris. Sábbatum requietiónis est, et affligétis ánimas vestras die nono mensis: a véspera usque ad vésperam celebrábitis sábbata vestra: dicit Dóminus omnípotens.

English

A reading from the Book of Leviticus In those days the Lord spoke to Moses, saying: On the tenth day of this seventh month there shall be a most solemn day of atonement, and it shall be called holy. You shall humble yourselves on that day and offer a burnt offering to the Lord. You shall do no servile work during that day, for it is a day of atonement, so that the Lord your God may be reconciled to you. Anyone who does not humble himself on that day shall be cut off from his people; and anyone who does any work I will destroy from among his people. Therefore you shall do no work on it. This shall be a lasting ordinance throughout all your generations and wherever you dwell. It is a sabbath of rest, and you shall humble yourselves. From the evening of the ninth day of the month until the following evening you shall keep your sabbath, says the almighty Lord.

On the first day you shall take the fruit of the finest tree, palm fronds, branches of leafy trees and willows from the stream, and rejoice before the Lord your God.

Léctio Michææ Prophétæ.

Dómine, Deus noster, pasce pópulum tuum in virga tua, gregem hereditátis tuæ, habitántes solos in saltu, juxta dies antiquos. Vidébunt gentes, et confundéntur super omni fortitúdine sua. Quis Deus símilis tui, qui aufers iniquitátem, et transis peccátum reliquiárum hereditátis tuæ ? Non immíttet ultra furórem suum, quóniam volens misericórdiam est. Revertétur, et miserébitur nostri: depónet iniquitátes nostras, et projíciet in profúndum maris ómnia peccáta nostra. Dabis veritátem Jacob, misericórdiam Abraham: quæ jurásti pátribus nostris a diébus antiquis: Dómine, Deus noster.

English

A reading from the Prophet Micah Lord our God, shepherd your people with your staff, the flock of your inheritance, dwelling alone in the forest, as in the days of old. The nations will see and be confounded despite all their strength. Who is a God like you, who takes away iniquity and passes over the sin of the remnant of your inheritance? He will not persist in his anger, for he delights in mercy. He will turn again and have mercy on us; he will put away our iniquities and cast all our sins into the depths of the sea. You will show faithfulness to Jacob and mercy to Abraham, as you swore to our fathers in the days of old, Lord our God.

Léctio Zacharíæ Prophétæ

In diébus illis: Factum est verbum Dómini ad me, dicens: Hæc dicit Dóminus exercítuum: Sicut cogitávi, ut afflígerem vos, cum ad iracúndiam provocássent patres vestri me, dicit Dóminus, et non sum misértus: sic convérsus cogitávi in diébus istis, ut benefáciam domui Juda et Jerúsalem: nolíte timére. Hæc sunt ergo verba, quæ faciétis: Loquímini veritátem, unusquísque cum próximo suo: veritátem et judícium pacis judicáte in portis vestris. Et unusquísque malum contra amícum suum ne cogitétis in córdibus vestris: et juraméntum mendax ne diligátis: ómnia enim hæc sunt, quæ odi, dicit Dóminus. Et factum est verbum Dómini exercítuum ad me, dicens: Hæc dicit Dóminus exercítuum: Jejúnium quarti et jejúnium quinti et jejúnium séptimi et jejúnium décimi erit dómui Juda in gáudium et lætítiam et in sollemnitátes præcláras: veritátem tantum et pacem dilígite: dicit Dóminus exercítuum.

English

A reading from the Prophet Zechariah In those days the word of the Lord came to me, saying: Thus says the Lord of hosts: As I resolved to afflict you when your fathers provoked me to anger, says the Lord, and I did not relent, so now I have turned and resolved in these days to do good to the house of Judah and to Jerusalem. Do not be afraid. These, then, are the things you shall do: speak the truth to one another; render true judgements that bring peace at your gates. Do not devise evil in your hearts against your neighbour, and do not love a false oath, for all these are things I hate, says the Lord. And the word of the Lord of hosts came to me, saying: Thus says the Lord of hosts: The fast of the fourth month, the fast of the fifth, the fast of the seventh and the fast of the tenth shall become occasions of joy and gladness and splendid festivals for the house of Judah. Only love truth and peace, says the Lord of hosts.

Flamma autem effundebátur super fornácem cúbitis quadragínta novem: et erúpit, et incéndit, quos répperit juxta fornácem de Chaldǽis, minístros regis, qui eam incendébant.

He drove the flame of the fire out of the furnace and made the midst of it like a wind blowing with cool dew. The flame spread forty-nine cubits above the furnace, bursting out and burning those Chaldeans it found nearby, the king’s servants who were heating it. But the fire did not touch the young men at all, nor distress them, nor cause them any harm. Then the three, as with one voice, praised and glorified and blessed God in the furnace, saying:

Léctio Epístolæ beáti Pauli Apóstoli ad Hebrǽos

Fratres: Tabernáculum factum est primum, in quo erant candelábra, et mensa, et proposítio panum, quæ dícitur Sancta. Post velaméntum autem secúndum, tabernáculum, quod dícitur Sancta sanctórum: áureum habens thuríbulum, et arcam testaménti circumtéctam ex omni parte auro, in qua urna áuea habens manna, et virga Aaron, quæ frondúerat, et tábulæ testaménti, supérque eam erant Chérubim glóriæ obumbrántia propitiatórium: de quibus non est modo dicéndum per síngula. His vero ita compósitis; in prióri quidem tabernáculo semper introíbant sacerdótes, sacrificiórum offícia consummántes: in secúndo autem semel in anno solus póntifex, non sine sánguine, quem offert pro sua et pópuli ignorántia: hoc significánte Spíritu Sancto, nondum propalátam esse sanctórum viam, adhuc prióre tabernaculo habénte statum. Quæ parábola est témporis instántis: juxta quam múnera et hóstiæ offerúntur, quæ non possunt juxta consciéntiam perféctum fácere serviéntem, solummodo in cibis, et in pótibus, et váriis baptismátibus, et justítiis carnis usque ad tempus correctiónis impósitis. Christus autem assístens póntifex futurórum bonórum, per ámplius et perféctius tabernáculum non manufáctum, id est, non hujus creatiónis; neque per sánguinem hircórum aut vitulórum, sed per próprium sánguinem introívit semel in Sancta, ætérna redemptióne invénta.

English

Lesson Brethren: There was set up a tabernacle in the outer part of which were the lampstand and the table and the showbread, and this is called the Holy Place; but beyond the second veil was the tabernacle which is called the Holy of Holies, having a golden censer and the ark of the covenant, overlaid on every side with gold. In the ark was a golden pot containing the manna and the rod of Aaron which had budded, and the tablets of the covenant; and above it were the Cherubim of glory overshadowing the mercy-seat. But of all these we cannot now speak in detail. Such then being the arrangements, the priests always used to enter into the first tabernacle to perform the sacred rites; but into the second tabernacle the high priest alone entered once a year, not without blood, which he offered for his own and the people’s sins of ignorance. The Holy Spirit signified by this that the way into the Holies was not yet thrown open while the first tabernacle was still standing. This first tabernacle is a figure of the present time, inasmuch as gifts and sacrifices are offered that cannot perfect the worshipper in conscience, since they refer only to food and drink and various ablutions and bodily regulations imposed until a time of reformation. But when Christ appeared once for all through the greater and more perfect tabernacle, not made by hands - that is, not of this creation, - nor again by virtue of blood of goats and calves, but by virtue of His own Blood, into the Holies, having obtained eternal redemption.

Sequéntia ✠ sancti Evangélii secúndum Lucam.

℟. Glória tibi, Dómine.

In illo témpore: Dicébat Jesus turbis hanc similitúdinem: Arbórem fici habébat quidam plantátam in vínea sua, et venit quærens fructum in illa, et non invénit. Dixit autem ad cultórem víneæ: Ecce, anni tres sunt, ex quo vénio quærens fructum in ficúlnea hac, et non invénio: succíde ergo illam: ut quid étiam terram óccupat? At ille respóndens, dicit illi: Dómine, dimítte illam et hoc anno, usque dum fódiam circa illam et mittam stércora: et si quidem fécerit fructum: sin autem, in futúrum succídes eam. Erat autem docens in synagóga eórum sábbatis. Et ecce múlier, quæ habébat spíritum infirmitátis annis decem et octo: et erat inclináta, nec omníno póterat sursum respícere. Quam cum vidéret Jesus, vocávit eam ad se, et ait illi: Múlier, dimíssa es ab infirmitáte tua. Et impósuit illi manus, et conféstim erécta est, et glorificábat Deum. Respóndens autem archisynagógus, indígnans quia sábbato curásset Jesus, dicébat turbæ: Sex dies sunt, in quibus opórtet operári: in his ergo veníte, et curámini, et non in die sábbati. Respóndens autem ad illum Dóminus, dixit: Hypócritæ, unusquísque vestrum sábbato non solvit bovem suum aut ásinum a præsépio, et ducit adaquáre? Hanc autem fíliam Abrahæ, quam alligávit sátanas, ecce decem et octo annis, non opórtuit solvi a vínculo isto die sábbati? Et cum hæc díceret, erubescébant omnes adversárii ejus: et omnis pópulus gaudébat in univérsis, quæ glorióse fiébant ab eo.

℟. Laus tibi, Christe.

English

A reading from the holy Gospel according to Luke.

℟. Glory to you, O Lord.

At that time, Jesus spoke to the multitudes this parable: A certain man had a fig tree planted in his vineyard; and he came seeking fruit thereon, and found none. And he said to the vine-dresser, ‘Behold, for three years now I have come seeking fruit on this fig tree, and I find none. Cut it down, therefore; why does it still encumber the ground?’ But he answered him and said, ‘Sir, let it alone this year too, till I dig around it and manure it. Perhaps it may bear fruit; but if not, then afterwards you shall cut it down.’ Now He was teaching in one of their synagogues on the Sabbath. And behold, there was a woman who for eighteen years had had a sickness caused by a spirit; and she was bent over and utterly unable to look upwards. When Jesus saw her, He called her to Him and said to her, Woman, you are delivered from your infirmity. And He laid His hands upon her, and instantly she was made straight, and glorified God. But the ruler of the synagogue, indignant that Jesus had cured on the Sabbath, addressed the crowd, saying, There are six days in which one ought to work; on these therefore come and be cured, and not on the Sabbath. But the Lord answered him and said, Hypocrites! does not each one of you on the Sabbath loose his ox or ass from the manger, and lead it forth to water? And this woman, daughter of Abraham as she is, whom Satan has bound, lo, for eighteen years, ought not she to be loosed form this bond on the Sabbath? And as He said these things, all His adversaries were put to shame; and the entire crowd rejoiced at all the glorious things that were done by Him.

℟. Praise to you, O Christ.
