Lectio
EpistleLesson from the book of Exodus
Hæc dicit Dóminus Deus: Ecce, ego mittam Angelum meum, qui præcédat te, et custódiat in via, et intróducat in locum, quem parávi. Obsérva eum, et audi vocem ejus, nec contemnéndum putes: quia non dimíttet, cum peccáveris, et est nomen meum in illo. Quod si audiéris vocem ejus et féceris ómnia, quæ loquor, inimícus ero inimícis tuis et affligam affligéntes te: præcedétque te Angelus meus.
Thus says the Lord God: See, I am sending My Angel before you, to guard you on the way and bring you to the place I have prepared. Be attentive to him and heed his voice. Do not rebel against him, for he will not forgive your sin.
My authority resides in him. If you heed his voice and carry out all I tell you, I will be an enemy to your enemies and a foe to your foe, and My Angel will go before you.

Evangelium
GospelContinuation + of the Holy Gospel according to Matthew
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. But whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in Me to sin, it were better for him to have a great millstone hung around his neck, and to be drowned in the depths of the sea. Woe to the world because of scandals! For it must needs be that scandals come, but woe to the man through whom scandal does come! And if your hand or your foot is an occasion of sin to you, cut it off and cast it from you!
It is better for you to enter life maimed or lame, than, having two hands or two feet, to be cast into the everlasting fire. And if your eye is an occasion of sin to you, pluck it out and cast it from you! It is better for you to enter into life with one eye, than, having two eyes, to be cast into hell-fire.
See that you do not despise one of these little ones; for I tell you, their Angels in heaven always behold the face of My Father in heaven.
