Lectio
EpistleLesson from the second letter of St. Paul the Apostle to the Corinthians
Fratres: Qui parce séminat, parce et metet: et qui séminat in benedictiónibus, de benedictiónibus et metet. Unusquísque prout destinávit in corde suo, non ex tristítia aut ex necessitáte: hílarem enim datórem díligit Deus. Potens est autem Deus omnem grátiam abundáre fácere in vobis, ut, in ómnibus semper omnem sufficiéntiam habéntes, abundétis in omne opus bonum, sicut scriptum est: Dispérsit, dedit paupéribus: justítia ejus manet in sǽculum sǽculi.
Qui autem adminístrat semen seminánti: et panem ad manducándum præstábit, et multiplicábit semen vestrum, et augébit increménta frugum justítiæ vestræ.

Evangelium
GospelContinuation + of the Holy Gospel according to John
In illo témpore: Dixit Jesus discípulis suis: Amen, amen, dico vobis, nisi granum fruménti cadens in terram, mórtuum fúerit, ipsum solum manet: si autem mórtuum fúerit, multum fructum affert. Qui amat ánimam suam, perdet eam: et qui odit ánimam suam in hoc mundo, in vitam ætérnam custódit eam. Si quis mihi mínistrat, me sequátur: et ubi sum ego, illic et miníster meus erit.
Si quis mihi ministráverit, honorificábit eum Pater meus.
