Lectio
EpistleLesson from the letter of St. Paul the Apostle to the Philippians
Fratres: Gaudéte in Dómino semper: íterum dico, gaudéte. Modéstia vestra nota sit ómnibus homínibus: Dóminus prope est. Nihil sollíciti sitis; sed in omni oratióne et obsecratióne, cum gratiárum actióne, petitiónes vestræ innotéscant apud Deum.
Et pax Dei quæ exsúperat omnem sensum, custódiat corda vestra et intelligéntias vestras, in Christo Jesu. De cétero, fratres, quæcúmque sunt vera, quæcúmque púdica, quæcúmque justa, quæcúmque sancta, quæcúmque amabília, quæcúmque bonæ famæ, si qua virtus, si qua laus disciplínæ, hæc cogitáte. Quæ et didicístis, et accepístis, et audístis, et vidístis in me, hæc agite: et Deus pacis erit vobíscum.
Brethren: Rejoice in the Lord always; again I say, rejoice. Let your moderation be known to all men. The Lord is near.
Have no anxiety, but in every prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your petitions be made known to God. And may the peace of God which surpasses all understanding guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. For the rest, brethren, whatever things are true, whatever honorable, whatever just, whatever holy, whatever lovable, whatever of good repute, if there be any virtue, if anything worthy of praise, think upon these things.
And what you have learned and received and heard and seen in me, these things practice. And the God of peace will be with you.

Evangelium
GospelContinuation + of the Holy Gospel according to Matthew
In illo témpore: Accessérunt discípuli ad Jesum, dicéntes: Quis, putas, major est in regno cœlórum? Et ádvocans Jesus párvulum, státuit eum in médio eórum et dixit: Amen, dico vobis, nisi convérsi fuéritis et efficiámini sicut párvuli, non intrábitis in regnum cœlórum. Quicumque ergo humiliáverit se sicut párvulus iste, hic est major in regno cœlórum.
Et qui suscéperit unum párvulum talem in nómine meo, me súscipit.
At that time the disciples came to Jesus, saying, Who then is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven? And Jesus called a little child to him, set him their midst, and said, Amen I say to you, unless you turn and become like little children, you will not enter into the kingdom of heaven. Whoever, therefore, humbles himself as this little child, he is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven.
And whoever receives one such little child for My sake, receives Me.
