Justi autem in perpétuum vivent, et apud Dóminum est merces eórum, et cogitátio illórum apud Altíssimum. Ideo accípient regrnm decóris, et diadéma speciéi de manu Dómini: quóniam déxtera mea teget eos, et bráchio sancto suo deféndet illos. Accípiet armatúram zelus illíus, et armábit creatúram ad ultiónem inimicórum. Induet pro thoráce justítiam, et accípiet pro gálea judícium certum. Sumet scutum inexpugnábile, æquitátem. Deo Gratias. Lesson from the Book of Wisdom. But the just shall live foevermore, and their reward is with the Lord, and the care of them with the Most High. Therefore shall they receive a kingdom of glory, and a crown of beauty at the hand of the Lord: for with His right hand He will cover them, and with His holy arm He will defend them; and His zeal will take armor, and He will arm the creature for the revenge of His enemies. He will put on justice as a breastplate, and will take true judgment instead of a helmet; He will take equity for an invincible shield. Thanks be to God.

Et ipse elevátis óculis in discípulos suos, dicébat: "Beáti páuperes: quia vestrum est regnum Dei. Beáti, qui nunc esúritis, quia saturabímini. Beáti, qui nunc fletis: quia ridébitis.

And they that were troubled with unclean spirits were cured. And all the multitude sought to touch Him, for virtue went out from Him, and healed all. And He, lifting up his eyes on His disciples, said, "Blessed are ye poor, for yours is the kingdom of God. Blessed are ye that hunger now, for you shall be filled. Blessed are ye that weep now, for you shall laugh. Blessed shall you be when men shall hate you, and when they shall separate you, and shall reproach you, and cast out your name as evil, for the Son of man's sake: be glad in that day and rejoice, for behold, your reward is great in Heaven."

V. Dominus vobiscum. R. Et cum spiritu tuo. V. Initium † sancti Evangelii secundum Lucam. R. Gloria tibi, Domine In illo témpore: Vidit Jesus publicánum nómine Levi, sedéntem ad telónium, et ait flli: "Séquere Me." Et relíctis ómnibus, surgens secútus est eum. Et fecit ei convivium magnum Levi in domo sua: et erat turba multa publicanórum, et aliórum, qui cum illis erant discumbéntes. Et murmurábant Pharisaei et Scribae eórum, dicéntes ad discípulos ejus: Quare cum publicánis et peccatóribus manducátis et bíbitis? Et respóndens Jesus, dixit ad illos: "Non egent qui sani sunt médico, sed qui male habent. Non veni vocáre justos, sed peccatóres ad poeniténtiam." R. Deo gratias. V. The Lord be with you. R. And with thy spirit. V. The beginning † of the holy Gospel according to Luke. R. Glory be to Thee, O Lord. At that time, Jesus saw a publican, named Levi, sitting at the receipt of custom; and He said to him, "Follow Me." And, leaving all things, he rose up, and followed Him. And Levi made Him a great feast in his own house; and there was a great company of publicans, and of others, that were at table with them. But the pharisees and scribes murmured, saying to His disciples, Why do you eat and drink with publicans and sinners? And Jesus answering, said to them, "They that are whole need not the physician: but they that are sick. I came not to call the just, but sinners, to penance." R. Thanks be to God.
