Monday after the Tenth Sunday after Pentecost
Today, according to the traditional (1962) Roman calendar, is a feria—specifically, Monday after the Tenth Sunday after Pentecost. On such ferial days, the Church does not commemorate a particular saint or mystery, but rather continues the rhythm of the liturgical year with the daily Mass and the Divine Office, using the prayers and readings appropriate to the 'green' season of time after Pentecost. This portion of the liturgical calendar, known as 'Tempus per Annum' or 'Ordinary Time,' is marked by a focus on the teachings, miracles, and public life of Our Lord. Ferias such as today offer the faithful an opportunity to enter deeply into the ordinary, ongoing life of the Church, reflecting quietly upon the mysteries unfolded every Sunday. Although of the IV class, meaning no particular feast overrides this day unless an optional commemoration is inserted, these days remain spiritually rich, emphasizing perseverance, conversion, and spiritual growth amid daily life. The 1962 calendar, employed in the traditional Latin Mass, preserves these ferial days as essential moments for meditation and simplicity, underscoring the continuity and quiet rhythm of Catholic devotion through the year.

Lesson from the first letter of St. Paul the Apostle to the Corinthians
1 Cor. 12:2-11
Brethren: You know that when you were Gentiles, you went to dumb idols according as you were led. Wherefore I give you to understand that no one speaking in the Spirit of God, says Anathema to Jesus. And no one can say Jesus is Lord, except in the Holy Spirit. Now there are varieties of gifts, but the same Spirit; and there are varieties of ministries, but the same Lord; and there are varieties of workings, but the same God, Who works all things in all. Now the manifestation of the Spirit is given to everyone for profit. To one through the Spirit is given the utterance of wisdom; and to another the utterance of knowledge, according to the same Spirit; to another faith, in the same Spirit; to another the gift of healing, in the one Spirit; to another the working of miracles; to another prophecy; to another the distinguishing of spirits; to another various kinds of tongues; to another interpretation of tongues. But all these things are the work of one and the same Spirit, Who allots to everyone according as He will.
℟. Thanks be to God.

℟. Glória tibi, Dómine.
Luc 18:9-14
In illo témpore: Dixit Iesus ad quosdam, qui in se confidébant tamquam iusti et aspernabántur céteros, parábolam istam: Duo hómines ascendérunt in templum, ut orárent: unus pharisǽus, et alter publicánus. Pharisǽus stans, hæc apud se orábat: Deus, grátias ago tibi, quia non sum sicut céteri hóminum: raptóres, iniústi, adúlteri: velut étiam hic publicánus. Ieiúno bis in sábbato: décimas do ómnium, quæ possídeo. Et publicánus a longe stans nolébat nec óculos ad cœlum leváre: sed percutiébat pectus suum, dicens: Deus, propítius esto mihi peccatóri. Dico vobis: descéndit hic iustificátus in domum suam ab illo: quia omnis qui se exáltat, humiliábitur: et qui se humíliat, exaltábitur.
English
℟. Glory be to Thee, O Lord.
Luke 18:9-14
At that time, Jesus spoke this parable to some who trusted in themselves as being just and despised others. Two men went up to the temple to pray, the one a Pharisee and the other a publican. The Pharisee stood and began to pray thus within himself: ‘O God, I thank You that I am not like the rest of men, robbers, dishonest, adulterers, or even like this publican. I fast twice a week; I pay tithes of all that I possess.’ But the publican, standing afar off, would not so much as lift up his eyes to heaven, but kept striking his breast, saying, ‘O God, be merciful to me the sinner!’ I tell you, this man went back to his home justified rather than the other; for everyone who exalts himself shall be humbled, and he who humbles himself shall be exalted.

Ps 24:1-3
To You I lift up my soul, O Lord. In You, O my God, I trust; let me not be put to shame, let not my enemies exult over me. No one who waits for You shall be put to shame.
