Lectio Epistolæ beáti Pauli Apóstoli ad Ephésios
Ephes 6:10-17
Fratres: Confortámini in Dómino et in poténtia virtútis eius. Indúite vos armatúram Dei, ut póssitis stare advérsus insídias diáboli. Quóniam non est nobis colluctátio advérsus carnem et sánguinem: sed advérsus príncipes et potestátes, advérsus mundi rectóres tenebrárum harum, contra spirituália nequítiæ, in cœléstibus. Proptérea accípite armatúram Dei, ut póssitis resístere in die malo et in ómnibus perfécti stare. State ergo succíncti lumbos vestros in veritáte, et indúti lorícam iustítiæ, et calceáti pedes in præparatióne Evangélii pacis: in ómnibus suméntes scutum fídei, in quo póssitis ómnia tela nequíssimi ígnea exstínguere: et gáleam salútis assúmite: et gládium spíritus, quod est verbum Dei.
℟. Deo grátias.

Lesson from the letter of St. Paul the Apostle to the Ephesians
Eph 6:10-17
Brethren: Be strengthened in the Lord and in the might of His power. Put on the armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For our wrestling is not against flesh and blood, but against the Principalities and the Powers, against the world rulers of this darkness, against the spiritual forces of wickedness on high. Therefore, take up the armor of God, that you may be able to resist in the evil day, and stand in all things perfect. Stand, therefore, having girded your loins with truth, and having put on the breast-plate of justice, and having your feet shod with the readiness of the Gospel of peace, in all things taking up the shield of faith, with which you may be able to quench all the fiery darts of the most wicked one. And take unto you the helmet of salvation and the sword of the spirit, that is, the word of God.
℟. Thanks be to God.

Sequéntia + sancti Evangélii secúndum Matthǽum
℟. Glória tibi, Dómine.
Matt 18:23-35
In illo témpore: Dixit Iesus discípulis suis parábolam hanc: Assimilátum est regnum cœlórum hómini regi, qui vóluit ratiónem pónere cum servis suis. Et cum cœpísset ratiónem pónere, oblátus est ei unus, qui debébat ei decem mília talénta. Cum autem non habéret, unde rédderet, iussit eum dóminus eius venúmdari et uxórem eius et fílios et ómnia, quæ habébat, et reddi. Prócidens autem servus ille, orábat eum, dicens: Patiéntiam habe in me, et ómnia reddam tibi. Misértus autem dóminus servi illíus, dimísit eum et débitum dimísit ei. Egréssus autem servus ille, invénit unum de consérvis suis, qui debébat ei centum denários: et tenens suffocábat eum, dicens: Redde, quod debes. Et prócidens consérvus eius, rogábat eum, dicens: Patiéntiam habe in me, et ómnia reddam tibi. Ille autem nóluit: sed ábiit, et misit eum in cárcerem, donec rédderet débitum. Vidéntes autem consérvi eius, quæ fiébant, contristáti sunt valde: et venérunt et narravérunt dómino suo ómnia, quæ facta fúerant. Tunc vocávit illum dóminus suus: et ait illi: Serve nequam, omne débitum dimísi tibi, quóniam rogásti me: nonne ergo opórtuit et te miseréri consérvi tui, sicut et ego tui misértus sum? Et irátus dóminus eius, trádidit eum tortóribus, quoadúsque rédderet univérsum débitum. Sic et Pater meus cœléstis fáciet vobis, si non remiséritis unusquísque fratri suo de córdibus vestris.

Continuation ✠ of the Holy Gospel according to Matthew
℟. Glory be to Thee, O Lord.
Matt 18:23-35
At that time, Jesus spoke to His disciples this parable: The kingdom of heaven is likened to a king who desired to settle accounts with his servants. And when he had begun the settlement, one was brought to him who owed him ten thousand talents. And as he had no means of paying, his master ordered him to be sold, with his wife and children and all that he had, and payment to be made. But the servant fell down and besought him, saying, ‘Have patience with me and I will pay you all!’ And moved with compassion, the master of that servant released him, and forgave him the debt. But as that servant went out, he met one of his fellow-servants who owed him a hundred denarii and he laid hold of him, and throttled him, saying, ‘Pay what you owe.’ His fellow-servant therefore fell down and began to entreat him, saying, ‘Have patience with me and I will pay you all.’ But he would not; but went away and cast him into prison until he should pay what was due. His fellow-servants therefore, seeing what had happened, were very much saddened, and they went and informed their master of what had taken place. Then his master called him, and said to him, ‘Wicked servant! I forgave you all the debt, because you entreated me. Should not you also have had pity on your fellow-servant, even as I had pity on you?’ And his master, being angry, handed him over to the torturers until he should pay all that was due to him. So also My heavenly Father will do to you, if you do not each forgive your brothers from your hearts.

Iob 1.1
Vir erat in terra Hus, nómine Iob: simplex et rectus ac timens Deum: quem Satan pétiit ut tentáret: et data est ei potéstas a Dómino in facultátes et in carnem eius: perdidítque omnem substántiam ipsíus et fílios: carnem quoque eius gravi úlcere vulnerávit.

There was a man in the land of Hus, whose name was Job, simple, and upright, and fearing God, whom Satan besought that he might tempt: and power was given him from the Lord over his possessions and his flesh; and he destroyed all his substance and his children, and wounded his flesh also with a grievous ulcer.
