Noli æmulári in malignántibus: neque zeláveris faciéntes iniquitátem.

The mouth of the just man tells of wisdom, and his tongue utters what is right. The law of his God is in his heart.
Be not vexed over evildoers, nor jealous of those who do wrong.
The mouth of the just man tells of wisdom, and his tongue utters what is right. The law of his God is in his heart.

Lectio
EpistleLesson from the book of Ezekiel
The faces of the living creatures were like this: each of the four had the face of a man, but on the right side was the face of a lion, and on the left the face of an ox, and finally each had the face of an eagle. Their faces and their wings looked out on all their four sides; each had two wings spread out above so that they touched one another’s, while the other two wings of each covered his body. Each went straight forward; wherever the spirit wished to go, there they went; they did not turn when they moved.
In among the living creatures something like burning coals of fire could be seen; they seemed like torches, moving to and fro among the living creatures. The fire gleamed, and from it came forth flashes of lightning. And the living creatures ran and returned like flashes of lightning.

Evangelium
GospelContinuation + of the Holy Gospel according to Matthew
In illo témpore: Vidit Jesus hóminem sedéntem in telónio, Matthǽum nómine. Et ait illi: Séquere me. Et surgens, secútus est eum.
Et factum est, discumbénte eo in domo, ecce, multi publicáni et peccatóres veniéntes discumbébant cum Jesu et discípulis ejus. Et vidéntes pharisæi, dicébant discípulis ejus: Quare cum publicánis et peccatóribus mandúcat Magíster vester? At Jesus áudiens, ait: Non est opus valéntibus médicus, sed male habéntibus.
Eúntes autem díscite, quid est: Misericórdiam volo, et non sacrifícium. Non enim veni vocáre justos, sed peccatóres.
At that time, Jesus saw a man named Matthew sitting in the tax-collector’s place, and said to him, Follow Me. And he arose and followed Him. And it came to pass as He was at table in the house, that, behold, many publicans and sinners came to the table with Jesus and His disciples.
And the Pharisees seeing it, said to His disciples, Why does your Master eat with publicans and sinners? But Jesus heard it, and said, It is not the healthy who need a physician, but they who are sick. But go, and learn what this means: ‘I desire mercy, and not sacrifice.’ For I have come to call sinners, not the just.
