9th Sunday after Pentecost
Commemoration of Saint Anne, Mother of the Blessed Virgin Mary
Today, according to the traditional 1962 Roman calendar, is the 9th Sunday after Pentecost. The Sundays after Pentecost are an integral part of the liturgical year in the Vetus Ordo, marking the long stretch of Ordinary Time that draws spiritual nourishment from the great mystery of the Church’s foundation at Pentecost. The Church arranges these Sundays to lead the faithful through the teachings and miracles of Christ, as recounted in the Gospels, offering recurring themes of watchfulness, conversion, and trust in God’s providence. The 9th Sunday after Pentecost traditionally presents the faithful with the lesson of the destruction of Jerusalem as a warning against spiritual complacency, emphasizing Christ’s grief over the city’s lack of conversion. The green liturgical color, used throughout these Sundays, symbolizes hope, spiritual growth, and the ongoing work of sanctification in souls. In keeping this Sunday as a II class feast, the traditional liturgy imbues the day with a dignity that invites deeper reflection on the Gospel’s warnings, guiding Catholics towards continual conversion and vigilance. Through her ancient calendar, the Church calls the faithful to steady progress in the Christian virtues, drawing ever new strength from the mysteries celebrated at Pentecost and applying them to daily life. This is the feast of the 9th Sunday after Pentecost in the traditional (1962) Roman calendar.

Lesson1 Cor 10:6-13
Latin
Léctio Epístolæ beáti Pauli Apóstoli ad Corinthios
1 Cor 10:6-13
Fratres: Non simus concupiscéntes malórum, sicut et illi concupiérunt. Neque idolólatræ efficiámini, sicut quidam ex ipsis: quemádmodum scriptum est: Sedit pópulus manducáre et bíbere, et surrexérunt lúdere. Neque fornicémur, sicut quidam ex ipsis fornicáti sunt, et cecidérunt una die vigínti tria mília. Neque tentémus Christum, sicut quidam eórum tentavérunt, et a serpéntibus periérunt. Neque murmuravéritis, sicut quidam eórum murmuravérunt, et periérunt ab exterminatóre. Hæc autem ómnia in figúra contingébant illis: scripta sunt autem ad correptiónem nostram, in quos fines sæculórum devenérunt. Itaque qui se exístimat stare, vídeat ne cadat. Tentátio vos non apprehéndat, nisi humána: fidélis autem Deus est, qui non patiétur vos tentári supra id, quod potéstis, sed fáciet étiam cum tentatióne provéntum, ut póssitis sustinére.
℟. Deo grátias.
English
Lesson from the first letter of St. Paul the Apostle to the Corinthians
1 Cor. 10:6-13
Brethren: We should not lust after evil things even as they lusted. And do not become idolaters, even as some of them were, as it is written, The people sat down to eat and drink, and rose up to play. Neither let us commit fornication, even as some of them committed fornication, and there fell in one day twenty-three thousand. Neither let us tempt Christ, as some of them tempted, and perished by the serpents. Neither murmur, as some of them murmured, and perished at the hands of the destroyer. Now all these things happened to them as a type, and they were written for our correction, upon whom the final age of the world has come. Therefore let him who thinks he stands take heed lest he fall. May no temptation take hold of you but such as man is equal to. God is faithful and will not permit you to be tempted beyond your strength, but with the temptation will also give you a way out that you may be able to bear it.
℟. Thanks be to God.

Luc 19:41-47
In illo témpore: Cum appropinquáret Iesus Ierúsalem, videns civitátem, flevit super illam, dicens: Quia si cognovísses et tu, et quidem in hac die tua, quæ ad pacem tibi, nunc autem abscóndita sunt ab óculis tuis. Quia vénient dies in te: et circúmdabunt te inimíci tui vallo, et circúmdabunt te: et coangustábunt te úndique: et ad terram prostérnent te, et fílios tuos, qui in te sunt, et non relínquent in te lápidem super lápidem: eo quod non cognóveris tempus visitatiónis tuæ. Et ingréssus in templum, cœpit eiícere vendéntes in illo et eméntes, dicens illis: Scriptum est: Quia domus mea domus oratiónis est. Vos autem fecístis illam speluncam latrónum. Et erat docens cotídie in templo.

℟. Glory be to Thee, O Lord.
Luke 19:41-47
At that time, when Jesus drew near to Jerusalem and saw the city, He wept over it, saying, If you had known, in this your day, even you, the things that are for your peace! But now they are hidden from your eyes. For days will come upon you when your enemies will throw up a rampart about you, and surround you and shut you in on every side, and will dash you to the ground and your children within you, and will not leave in you one stone upon another, because you have not known the time of your visitation. And He entered the temple, and began to cast out those who were selling and buying in it, saying to them, It is written, ‘My house is a house of prayer,’ but you have made it a den of thieves. And He was teaching daily in the temple.
