Lectio
EpistleLesson from the book of Isaias
Hæc dicit Dóminus: Frange esuriénti panem tuum, et egénos vagósque induc in domum tuam: cum víderis nudum, operi eum, et carnem tuam ne despéxeris. Tunc erúmpet quasi mane lumen tuum, et sánitas tua citius oriétur, et anteíbit fáciem tuam justítia tua, et glória Dómini cólliget te. Tunc invocábis, et Dóminus exáudiet: clamabis, et dicet: Ecce, adsum; si abstúleris de médio tui caténam, et desíeris exténdere dígitum, et loqui quod non prodest.
Cum effúderis esuriénti ánimam tuam, et ánimam afflíctam repléveris. Oriétur in tenebris lux tua, et ténebræ tuæ erunt sicut merídies. Et réquiem tibi dabit Dóminus semper, et implébit splendóribus ánimam tuam, et ossa tua liberábit, et eris quasi hortus irríguus, et sicut fons aquárum, cujus non defícient aquæ.
Thus says the Lord: Share your bread with the hungry, shelter the oppressed and the homeless; clothe the naked when you see them, and do not turn your back on your own. Then your light shall break forth like the dawn, and your wound shall quickly be healed; your vindication shall go before you, and the glory of the Lord shall be your rear guard. Then you shall call, and the Lord will answer, you shall cry for help, and He will say: ‘Here I am! If you remove from your midst oppression, false accusation and malicious speech; if you bestow your bread on the hungry and satisfy the afflicted; then light shall rise for you in the darkness, and the gloom shall become for you like the midday; then the Lord will guide you always and give you plenty even on the parched land.
He will renew your strength, and you shall be like a watered garden, like a spring whose water never fails.

Evangelium
GospelContinuation + of the Holy Gospel according to Matthew
In illo témpore: Obláti sunt Jesu párvuli, ut manus eis impóneret et oráret. Discípuli autem increpábant eos. Jesus vero ait eis: Sínite párvulos, et nolíte eos prohibére ad me veníre: tálium est enim regnum cœlórum.
Et cum imposuísset eis manus, ábiit inde. Et ecce, unus accedens, ait illi: Magíster bone, quid boni fáciam, ut hábeam vitam ætérnam? Qui dixit ei: Quid me intérrogas de bono? Unus est bonus, Deus.
Si autem vis ad vitam íngredi, serva mandáta. Dicit illi: Quæ? Jesus autem dixit: Non homicídium fácies: Non adulterábis: Non fácies furtum: Non falsum testimónium dices: Hónora patrem tuum et matrem tuam, et díliges próximum tuum sicut te ipsum.
Dicit illi adoléscens: Omnia hæc custodívi a juventúte mea: quid adhuc mihi deest? Ait illi Jesus: Si vis perféctus esse, vade, vende, quæ habes, et da paupéribus, et habébis thesáurum in cœlo: et veni, séquere me.
At that time, little children were brought to Jesus, that He might lay His hands on them and pray; but the disciples rebuked them. But Jesus said to them, Let the little children be, and do not hinder them from coming to Me, for of such is the kingdom of heaven. And when He had laid His hands on them, He departed from that place.
And behold, a certain man came to Him and said, Good Master, what good work shall I do to have eternal life? He said to him, Why do you ask Me about what is good? One there is Who is good, and He is God.
But if you will enter into life, keep the commandments. He said to Him, Which? And Jesus said, You shall not kill.
You shall not commit adultery. You shall not steal. You shall not bear false witness.
Honor your father and mother. And, you shall love your neighbor as yourself. The young man said to Him, All these I have kept; what is yet wanting to me? Jesus said to him, If you will be perfect, go, sell what you have, and give to the poor, and you shall have treasure in heaven; and come, follow Me.
Offertorium

When you prayed with tears, and buried the dead, and left your dinner, and hid the dead by day in your house, and buried them by night, I offered your prayer to the Lord.
