Léctio Isaíæ Prophétæ.
Is 38:1-6
In diébus illis: Ægrotávit Ezechías usque ad mortem: et introívit ad eum Isaías fílius Amos Prophéta, et dixit ei: Hæc dicit Dóminus: Dispóne dómui tuæ, quia moriéris tu, et non vives. Et convértit Ezechías fáciem suam ad paríetem, et orávit ad Dóminum, et dixit: Obsecro, Dómine, meménto, quæso, quómodo ambuláverim coram te in veritáte et in corde perfécto, et, quod bonum est in óculis tuis, fécerim. Et flevit Ezechías fletu magno. Et factum est verbum Dómini ad Isaíam, dicens: Vade, et dic Ezechíæ: Hæc dicit Dóminus, Deus David patris tui: Audívi oratiónem tuam, et vidi lácrimas tuas: ecce, ego adiíciam super dies tuos quíndecim annos: et de manu regis Assyriórum éruam te et civitátem istam, et prótegam eam, ait Dóminus omnípotens.
℟. Deo grátias.

Lesson from the book of Isaias
Isa 38:1-6
In those days, when Ezechia was mortally ill, the prophet Isaiah, son of Amos, came and said to him; Thus says the Lord: ‘Put your house in order, for you are about to die; you shall not recover.’ Then Ezechia turned his face to the wall and prayed to the Lord: O Lord, remember how faithfully and wholeheartedly I conducted myself in Your presence, doing what was pleasing to You! And Ezechia wept bitterly. Then the word of the Lord came to Isaiah: Go, tell Ezechia: Thus says the Lord, the God of your father David: I have heard your prayer and seen your tears. I will add fifteen years to your life. I will rescue you and this city from the hand of the king of Assyria; I will be a shield to this city, says the Lord almighty.
℟. Thanks be to God.

Sequéntia + sancti Evangélii secúndum Matthǽum.
℟. Glória tibi, Dómine.
Matt 8:5-13
In illo témpore: Cum introísset Iesus Caphárnaum, accéssit ad eum centúrio, rogans eum, et dicens: Dómine, puer meus iacet in domo paralýticus, et male torquétur. Et ait illi Iesus: Ego véniam et curábo eum. Et respóndens centúrio, ait: Dómine, non sum dignus, ut intres sub tectum meum: sed tantum dic verbo, et sanábitur puer meus. Nam et ego homo sum sub potestáte constitútus, habens sub me mílites, et dico huic: Vade, et vadit; et alii: Veni, et venit; et servo meo: Fac hoc, et facit. Audiens autem Iesus, mirátus est, et sequéntibus se dixit: Amen, dico vobis, non invéni tantam fidem in Israël. Dico autem vobis, quod multi ab Oriénte et Occidénte vénient, et recúmbent cum Abraham et Isaac et Iacob in regno cœlórum: fílii autem regni eiiciéntur in ténebras exterióres: ibi erit fletus et stridor déntium. Et dixit Iesus centurióni: Vade, et, sicut credidísti, fiat tibi. Et sanátus est puer in illa hora.

Continuation ✠ of the Holy Gospel according to Matthew
℟. Glory be to Thee, O Lord.
Matt 8:5-13
At that time, when Jesus had entered Capharnaum, there came to Him a centurion, who entreated Him, saying, Lord, my servant is lying sick in the house, paralyzed, and is grievously afflicted. Jesus said to him, I will come and cure him. But in answer the centurion said, Lord, I am not worthy that You should come under my roof; but only say the word, and my servant will be healed. For I too am a man subject to authority, and have soldiers subject to me; and I say to one, ‘Go,’ and he goes; and to another, ‘Come,’ and he comes; and to my servant, ‘Do this,’ and he does it. And when Jesus heard this, He marveled, and said to those who were following Him, Amen I say to you, I have not found such great faith in Israel. And I tell you that many will come from the east and from the west, and will feast with Abraham and Isaac and Jacob in the kingdom of heaven, but the children of the kingdom will be put forth into the darkness outside; there will be the weeping, and the gnashing of teeth. Then Jesus said to the centurion, Go your way; as you have believed, so be it done to you. And the servant was healed in that hour.

Ad te, Dómine, levávi ánimam meam: Deus meus, in te confído, non erubéscam: neque irrídeant me inimíci mei: étenim univérsi, qui te exspéctant, non confundéntur.

To You, O Lord, I lift up my soul: 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 on You shall be put to shame.
