Lectio
EpistleA reading from the Epistle of blessed Paul the Apostle to the Romans.
Brethren: Being justified therefore by faith, let us have peace with God, through our Lord Jesus Christ: By whom also we have access through faith into this grace, wherein we stand, and glory in the hope of the glory of the sons of God. And not only so; but we glory also in tribulations, knowing that tribulation worketh patience; And patience trial; and trial hope; And hope confoundeth not: because the charity of God is poured forth in our hearts, by the Holy Ghost, who is given to us.

Evangelium
GospelSequéntia ++ sancti Evangélii secúndum Lucam
In illo témpore: Dicébat Jesus scribis et pharisǽis: Væ vobis, qui ædificátis monuménta prophetárum: patres autem vestri occidérunt illos. Profécto testificámini, quod consentítis opéribus patrum vestrórum: quóniam ipsi quidem eos occidérunt, vos autem ædificátis eórum sepúlcra. Proptérea et sapiéntia Dei dixit: Mittam ad illos prophétas et apóstolos, et ex illis occídent et persequántur: ut inquirátur sanguis ómnium prophetárum, qui effúsus est a constitutióne mundi a generatióne~ ista, a sánguine Abel usque ad sánguinem Zacharíæ, qui périit inter altáre et ædem. Ita dico vobis, requirétur ab hac generatióne.
