Lectio
EpistleLesson from the second letter of St. Paul the Apostle to Timothy
Caríssime: Confortáre in grátia, quæ est in Christo Jesu: et quæ audísti a me per multos testes, hæc comménda fidélibus homínibus, qui idónei erunt et alios docére. Labóra sicut bonus miles Christi Jesu. Nemo mílitans Deo ímplicat se negótiis sǽculáribus: ut ei pláceat, cui se probávit.
Nam et qui certat in agóne, non coronátur, nisi legítime certáverit. Laborántem agrícolam opórtet primum de frúctibus percípere. Intéllege quæ dico: dabit enim tibi Dóminus in ómnibus intelléctum.
Dearly beloved: Be strengthened in the grace which is in Christ Jesus; and the things that you have heard from me through many witnesses, commend to trustworthy men who shall be competent in turn to teach others. Conduct yourself in work as a good soldier of Christ Jesus. No one serving as God's soldier entangles himself in worldly affairs, that he may please him whose approval he has secured.
And again, one who enters a contest is not crowned unless he has competed according to the rules. The farmer who toils must be the first to partake of the fruits. Take in what I tell you, for the Lord will give you understanding in all things.
Graduale
GradualMemor fui judiciórum tuórum a sǽculo, Dómine, et consolátus sum: deféctio ténuit me pro peccatóribus derelinquéntibus legem tuam.
Ps 39:11
Justítiam tuam non abscóndi in corde meo: veritátem tuam et salutáre tuum dixi. Allelúja, allelúja.
Eccles. 49:3-4
Ipse est diréctus divínitus in pæniténtiam gentis, et tulit abominatiónes impietátis: et gubernávit ad Dóminum cor ipsíus: et in diébus peccatórum corroborávit pietátem. Allelúja.
I remember your ordinances of old, O Lord, and I am comforted. Indignation seizes me because of the wicked who forsake Your law.
Ps 39:11
V. Your justice I kept not hid within my heart; Your faithfulness and Your salvation I have spoken of. Alleluia, alleluia.
Ecclus. 49:3-4
He was directed by God to the repentance of the nation, and he took away the abominations of wickedness. He turned to God with his whole heart, and though times were evil, he practiced virtue.
Tractus
TractEgo autem, cum mihi molésti essent, induébar cilício: humiliábam in jejúnio ánimam meam: et orátio mea in sinu meo convertátur.
Ps 22:5.
V. Parásti in conspéctu meo mensam advérsus eos, qui tríbulant me: impinguásti in óleo caput meum, et calix meus inébrians quam præclárus est!
1 Cor 9:22
V. Factus sum infírmis infírmus, ut infírmos lucrifácerem.
Evangelium
GospelContinuation + of the Holy Gospel according to Matthew
In illo témpore: Accessérunt discípuli ad Jesum dicéntes: Quis, putas, major est in regno cælórum? Et ádvocans Jesus párvulum, státuit eum in médio eórum, et dixit: Amen dico vobis, nisi convérsi fueritis, et efficiámini sicut párvuli, non intrábitis in regnum cœlórum. Quicúmque 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 greatest in the kingdom of heaven? And Jesus called a little child to Him, set him in 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.

Qui vivis et regnas cum Deo Patre, in unitáte Spíritus Sancti, Deus, per ómnia sǽcula sæculórum.
Amen.

Who livest and reignest with God the Father, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, God, world without end.
