Lesson from the book of Genesis
Gen 37:6-22
In those days, Joseph said to his brothers, Listen to this dream which I had. We were binding sheaves in the field; my sheaf rose up and remained standing, while your sheaves gathered round and bowed down to my sheaf. His brothers answered, Are you to be our king? Are you to rule over us? And because of his dreams and words they hated him the more. He had another dream which he also told to his brothers. I had another dream, he said. The sun, the moon and eleven stars were worshipping me. When he told that to his father and his brothers, his father reproved him. What is this dream that you have had? he said. Can it be that I and your mother and your brothers will come to bow to the ground before you? So his brothers envied him, while his father pondered the matter. When his brothers had gone to pasture their father’s flocks at Sichem, Israel said to Joseph, Your brothers are pasturing the flocks at Sichem; get ready, I will send you to them. Joseph answered, I am ready. Go, then, said Israel, and see if all is well with your brothers and with the flocks; and bring back a report to me. So he sent him from the valley of Hebron, and he came to Sichem. A man found Joseph wandering about in the fields and asked him, What are you looking for? I am looking for my brothers, he answered. Tell me, please, where they are pasturing. The man said, They have moved on from here, because I heard them say, ‘Let us go to Dothain.’ So Joseph went after his brothers and found them in Dothain. They saw him in the distance, and before he drew near them, they plotted to kill him. They said to one another, Here comes that dreamer! Let us therefore kill him and throw him into a cistern; we can say that a wild beast devoured him. Let us see then what becomes of his dreams. But when Ruben heard of it, he tried to rescue him from them saying, We must not kill him. Then he continued, Do not shed blood. Throw him into the cistern there in the desert, but do not lay a hand on him. His purpose was to rescue him from them and restore him to his father.
Léctio libri Génesis.
Gen 37:6-22
In diébus illis: Dixit Joseph frátribus suis: Audíte sómnium meum, quod vidi: Putábam nos ligáre manípulos in agro: et quasi consúrgere manípulum meum et stare, vestrósque manípulos circumstántes adoráre manípulum meum. Respondérunt fratres ejus: Numquid rex noster eris? aut subjiciémur dicióni tuæ? Hæc ergo causa somniórum atque sermónum, invídiæ et ódii fómitem ministrávit. Aliud quoque vidit sómnium, quod narrans frátribus, ait: Vidi per sómnium, quasi solem et lunam et stellas úndecim adoráre me. Quod cum patri suo et frátribus rettulísset, increpávit eum pater suus, et dixit: Quid sibi vult hoc sómnium, quod vidísti? Num ego et mater tua et fratres tui adorábimus te super terram? Invidébant ei ígitur fratres sui: pater vero rem tácitus considerábat. Cumque fratres illíus in pascéndis grégibus patris moraréntur in Sichem, dixit ad eum Israël: Fratres tui pascunt oves in Síchimis: veni, mittam te ad eos. Quo respondénte: Præsto sum, ait ei: Vade et vide, si cuncta próspera sint erga fratres tuos et pécora: et renúntia mihi, quid agátur. Missus de valle Hebron, venit in Sichem: invenítque eum vir errántem in agro, et interrogávit, quid quǽreret. At ille respóndit: Fratres meos quæro: índica mihi, ubi pascant greges. Dixítque ei vir: Recessérunt de loco isto: audívi autem eos dicéntes: Eámus in Dóthain. Perréxit ergo Joseph post fratres suos, et invénit eos in Dóthain. Qui cum vidíssent eum procul, ántequam accéderet ad eos, cogitavérunt illum occídere, et mútuo loquebántur: Ecce, somniátor venit; veníte, occidámus eum, et mittámus in cistérnam véterem, dicemúsque: Fera péssima devorávit eum: et tunc apparébit, quid illi prosint sómnia sua. Audiens autem hoc Ruben, nitebátur liberáre eum de mánibus eórum, et dicébat: Non interficiátis ánimam ejus, nec effundátis sánguinem: sed projícite eum in cistérnam hanc, quæ est in solitúdine, manúsque vestras serváte innóxias: hoc autem dicébat, volens erípere eum de mánibus eórum, et réddere patri suo.

Continuation of the Holy Gospel according to Matthew
Matt 21:33-46
At that time, Jesus spoke this parable to the multitude of the Jews and the chief priests: There was a man, a householder, who planted a vineyard, and put a hedge about it, and dug a wine vat in it, and built a tower; then he let it out to vine-dressers, and went abroad. But when the fruit season drew near, he sent his servants to the vine-dressers to receive his fruits. And the vine-dressers seized his servants, and beat one, killed another, and stoned another. Again he sent another party of servants more numerous than the first; and they did the same to these. Finally he sent his son to them, saying, ‘They will respect my son.’ But the vine-dressers, on seeing the son, said among themselves, ‘This is the heir; come, let us kill him, and we shall have his inheritance.’ So they seized him, cast him out of the vineyard, and killed him. When, therefore, the owner of the vineyard comes, what will he do to those vine-dressers? They said to Him, He will utterly destroy those evil men, and will let out the vineyard to other vine-dressers, who will render to him the fruits in their seasons. Jesus said to them, Did you never read in the Scriptures, ‘The stone which the builders rejected, has become the cornerstone; by the Lord this has been done, and it is wonderful in our eyes’? Therefore I say to you, that the kingdom of God will be taken away from you and will be given to a people yielding its fruits. And he who falls on this stone will be broken to pieces; but upon whomever it falls, it will grind him to powder. And when the chief priests and Pharisees had heard His parables, they knew that He was speaking about them. And though they sought to lay hands on Him, they feared the people, because they regarded Him as a prophet.
Sequéntia ☩ sancti Evangélii secúndum Matthǽum
Matt 21:33-46
In illo témpore: Dixit Jesus turbis Judæórum et princípibus sacerdótum parábolam hanc: Homo erat paterfamílias, qui plantávit víneam, et sepem circúmdedit ei, et fodit in ea tórcular, et ædificávit turrim, et locávit eam agrícolis, et péregre proféctus est. Cum autem tempus frúctuum appropinquásset, misit servos suos ad agrícolas, ut accíperent fructus ejus. Et agrícolæ, apprehénsis servis ejus, alium cecidérunt, alium occidérunt, álium vero lapidavérunt. Iterum misit álios servos plures prióribus, et fecérunt illis simíliter. Novíssime autem misit ad eos fílium suum, dicens: Verebúntur fílium meum. Agrícolæ autem vidéntes fílium, dixérunt intra se: Hic est heres, veníte, occidámus eum, et habébimus hereditátem ejus. Et apprehénsum eum ejecérunt extra víneam, et occidérunt. Cum ergo vénerit dóminus víneæ, quid fáciet agrícolis illis? Ajunt illi: Malos male perdet: et víneam suam locábit áliis agrícolis, qui reddant ei fructum tempóribus suis. Dicit illis Jesus: Numquam legístis in Scriptúris: Lápidem, quem reprobavérunt ædificántes, hic factus est in caput ánguli? A Dómino factum est istud, et est mirábile in óculis nostris. Ideo dico vobis, quia auferétur a vobis regnum Dei, et dábitur genti faciénti fructus ejus. Et qui cecíderit super lápidem istum, confringétur: super quem vero cecíderit, cónteret eum. Et cum audíssent príncipes sacerdótum et pharisǽi parábolas ejus, cognovérunt, quod de ipsis díceret. Et quæréntes eum tenére, timuérunt turbas: quóniam sicut Prophétam eum habébant.
Ps 39:14-15
Deign, O Lord, to rescue me; let all be put to shame and confusion who seek to snatch away my life. Deign, O Lord, to rescue me.
Ps 39:14; 39:15
Dómine, in auxílium meum réspice: confundántur et revereántur, qui quærunt ánimam meam, ut áuferant eam: Dómine, in auxílium meum réspice.
O God, may this sacrifice which is offered, stay in us and accomplish lasting effects.

Lent
It is truly meet and just, right and for our salvation, that we should at all times, and in all places, give thanks unto Thee, O holy Lord, Father almighty, everlasting God; Who by this bodily fast, dost curb our vices, dost lift up our minds and bestow on us strength and rewards; through Christ our Lord. Through whom the Angels praise Thy Majesty, the Dominations worship it, the Powers stand in awe. The Heavens and the heavenly hosts together with the blessed Seraphim in triumphant chorus unite to celebrate it. Together with these we entreat Thee that Thou mayest bid our voices also to be admitted while we say with lowly praise:
de Quadragesima
Vere dignum et justum est, æquum et salutáre, nos tibi semper et ubíque grátias ágere: Dómine, sancte Pater, omnípotens ætérne Deus: Qui corporáli ieiúnio vítia cómprimis, mentem élevas, virtútem largíris et prǽmia: per Christum Dóminum nostrum. Per quem majestátem tuam laudant Angeli, adórant Dominatiónes, tremunt Potestátes. Cæli cælorúmque Virtútes, ac beáta Séraphim, sócia exsultatióne concélebrant. Cum quibus et nostras voces, ut admítti iúbeas, deprecámur, súpplici confessióne dicéntes:
Ps 11:8
You, O Lord, will keep us and preserve us always from this generation.
Ps 11:8
Tu, Dómine, servábis nos, et custódies nos a generatióne hac in ætérnum.
Grant, we beseech You, O Lord, that we who have received the pledge of everlasting salvation, may properly direct our course so that we may be able to attain our goal.
Through our Lord…
Fac nos, quǽsumus, Dómine: accépto pígnore salútis ætérnæ, sic téndere congruénter; ut ad eam perveníre possímus.
