Lesson from the book of Leviticus
Lev 19:1-2, 11-19, 25
In those days, the Lord said to Moses, Speak to the whole Israelite community and tell them: I, the Lord, am your God. You shall not steal. You shall not lie or speak falsely to one another. You shall not swear falsely by My Name, thus profaning the Name of your God. I am the Lord. You shall not defraud or rob your neighbor. You shall not withhold overnight the wages of your day laborer. You shall not curse the deaf, or put a stumbling block in front of the blind, but you shall fear the Lord your God, because I am the Lord. You shall not act dishonestly in rendering judgment. Show neither partiality to the weak nor deference to the mighty, but judge your fellow men justly. You shall not go about spreading slander among your kinsmen; nor shall you stand by idly when your neighbor’s life is at stake. I am the Lord. You shall not bear hatred for your brother in your heart. Though you may have to reprove your fellow man, do not incur sin because of him. Take no revenge and cherish no grudge against your fellow countrymen. You shall love your neighbor as yourself. I am the Lord. Keep my statutes. For I am the Lord your God.
Léctio libri Levítici.
Lev 19:1-2, 11-19, 25
In diébus illis: Locútus est Dóminus ad Móysen, dicens: Lóquere ad omnem cœtum filiórum Israël, et dices ad eos: Ego Dóminus, Deus vester. Non faciétis furtum. Non mentiémini, nec decípiet unusquísque próximum suum. Non perjurábis in nómine meo, nec póllues nomen Dei tui. Ego Dóminus. Non fácies calúmniam próximo tuo: nec vi ópprimes eum. Non morábitur opus mercenárii tui apud te usque mane. Non maledíces surdo, nec coram cæco pones offendículum: sed timébis Dóminum, Deum tuum, quia ego sum Dóminus. Non fácies quod iníquum est, nec injúste judicábis. Non consíderes persónam páuperis, nec honóres vultum poténtis. Juste júdica próximo tuo. Non eris criminátor, nec susúrro in pópulo. Non stabis contra sánguinem próximi tui. Ego Dóminus. Non óderis fratrem tuum in corde tuo, sed públice árgue eum, ne hábeas super illo peccátum. Non quæras ultiónem, nec memor eris injúriæ cívium tuórum. Díliges amícum tuum sicut teípsum. Ego Dóminus. Leges meas custodíte. Ego enim sum Dóminus, Deus vester.
Ps 29:2-4
I will extol You, O Lord, for You drew me clear and did not let my enemies rejoice over me.
℣. O Lord, my God, I cried out to You and You healed me, O Lord, You brought me up from the nether world; You preserved me from among those going down into the pit.

Continuation of the Holy Gospel according to John
John 10:22-38
At that time, there took place at Jerusalem the feast of the Dedication; and it was winter. And Jesus was walking in the temple, in Solomon’s portico. The Jews therefore gathered round Him, and said to Him, How long do You keep us in suspense? If You are the Christ, tell us openly. Jesus answered them, I tell you and you do not believe. The works that I do in the name of My Father, these bear witness concerning Me. But you do not believe because you are not of My sheep. My sheep hear My voice, and I know them and they follow Me. And I give them everlasting life; and they shall never perish, neither shall anyone snatch them out of My hand. What My Father has given Me is greater than all; and no one is able to snatch anything out of the hand of My Father. I and the Father are one. The Jews therefore took up stones to stone him. Jesus answered them, Many good works have I shown you from My Father. For which of these works do you stone Me? The Jews answered Him, Not for a good work do we stone you, but for blasphemy, and because You, being a man, make Yourself God. Jesus answered them, Is it not written in your Law, ‘I said you are gods?’ If He called them gods to whom the word of God was addressed - and the Scripture cannot be broken, - do you say of Him Whom the Father has made holy and sent into the world, ‘You blaspheme,’ because I said, ‘I am the Son of God’? If I do not perform the works of My Father, do not believe Me. But if I do perform them, and if you are not willing to believe Me, believe the works, that you may know and believe that the Father is in Me and I in the Father.
Sequéntia ☩ sancti Evangélii secúndum Joánnem.
Joann 10:22-38
In illo témpore: Facta sunt encǽnia in Jerosólymis: et hiems erat. Et ambulábat Jesus in templo, in pórticu Salomónis. Circumdedérunt ergo eum Judǽi, et dicébant ei: Quoúsque ánimam nostram tollis? Si tu es Christus, dic nobis palam. Respóndit eis Jesus: Loquor vobis, et non créditis: Opera, quæ ego fácio in nómine Patris mei, hæc testimónium pérhibent de me: sed vos non créditis, quia non estis ex óvibus meis. Oves meæ vocem meam áudiunt: et ego cognósco eas, et sequúntur me: et ego vitam ætérnam do eis: et non períbunt in ætérnum, et non rápiet eas quisquam de manu mea. Pater meus quod dedit mihi, majus ómnibus est: et nemo potest rápere de manu Patris mei. Ego et Pater unum sumus. Sustulérunt ergo lápides Judǽi, ut lapidárent eum. Respóndit eis Jesus: Multa bona ópera osténdi vobis ex Patre meo, propter quod eórum opus me lapidátis? Respondérunt ei Judǽi: De bono ópere non lapidámus te, sed de blasphémia: et quia tu, homo cum sis, facis teípsum Deum. Respóndit eis Jesus: Nonne scriptum est in lege vestra: quia ego dixi, dii estis? Si illos dixit deos, ad quos sermo Dei factus est, et non potest solvi Scriptúra: quem Pater sanctificávit, et misit in mundum, vos dícitis: Quia blasphémas: quia dixi, Fílius Dei sum? Si non fácio ópera Patris mei, nolíte crédere mihi. Si autem fácio, et si mihi non vultis crédere, opéribus crédite, ut cognoscátis et credátis, quia Pater in me est et ego in Patre.
Ps 58:2
Rescue me from my enemies, O my God; from my adversaries defend me, O Lord.
Ps 58:2
Eripe me de inimícis meis, Deus meus: et ab insurgéntibus in me líbera me, Dómine.
O merciful God, permit us to offer in sincere submission the gift of satisfaction and praise.
Through our Lord…
Annue, miséricors Deus: ut hóstias placatiónis et laudis sincéro tibi deferámus obséquio.

Holy Cross
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 didst establish the salvation of mankind on the tree of the Cross; that whence death came, thence also life might arise again, and that he, who overcame by the tree, by the tree also might be overcome: 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 Sancta Cruce
Vere dignum et justum est, æquum et salutáre, nos tibi semper et ubíque grátias ágere: Dómine sancte, Pater omnípotens, ætérne Deus: Qui salútem humáni géneris in ligno Crucis constituísti: ut, unde mors oriebátur, inde vita resúrgeret: et, qui in ligno vincébat, in ligno quoque vincerétur: 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 júbeas, deprecámur, súpplici confessióne dicéntes:
Ps 25:6-7
I wash my hands in innocence, and I go around Your altar, O Lord, giving voice to my thanks, and recounting all Your wondrous deeds.
Ps 25:6-7
Lavábo inter innocéntes manus meas, et circuíbo altáre tuum, Dómine: ut áudiam vocem laudis tuæ, et enárrem univérsa mirabília tua.
We humbly beseech You, almighty God, that, having received the blessing of Your heavenly gift, it may be for us the source of sacramental grace and of salvation.
Through our Lord…
Cœléstis doni benedictióne percépta: súpplices te, Deus omnípotens, deprecámur; ut hoc idem nobis et sacraménti causa sit et salútis.
