Eccli 44:16-27; 45, 3-20

Sir 44:16-27; 45:3-20

Ecce sacérdos magnus, qui in diébus suis plácuit Deo, et invéntus est justus: et in témpore iracúndiæ factus est reconciliátio. Non est invéntus símilis illi, qui conservávit legem Excélsi. Ideo jurejurándo fecit illum Dóminus créscere in plebem suam. Benedictiónem ómnium géntium dedit illi, et testaméntum suum confirmávit super caput ejus. Agnóvit eum in benedictiónibus suis: conservávit illi misericórdiam suam: et invénit grátiam coram óculis Dómini. Magnificávit eum in conspéctu regum: et dedit illi corónam glóriæ. Státuit illi testaméntum ætérnum, et dedit illi sacerdótium magnum: et beatificávit illum in glória. Fungi sacerdótio, et habére laudem in nómine ipsíus, et offérre illi incénsum dignum in odórem suavitátis.

Behold, a great priest, who in his days pleased God, and was found just; and in the time of wrath he was made a reconciliation. There was not found the like to him, who kept the law of the Most High. Therefore, by an oath, the Lord made him to increase among his people. He gave him the blessing of all nations, and confirmed His covenant upon his head. He acknowledged him in His blessings; He preserved for him His mercy; and he found grace before the eyes of the Lord. He glorified him in the sight of kings, and gave him a crown of glory. He made an everlasting covenant with him, and gave him a great priesthood; and made him blessed in glory. To execute the office of the priesthood, and to have praise in His name, and to offer Him a worthy incense for an odor of sweetness.

Gospel

Sequéntia ++ sancti Evangélii secúndum Lucam

Continuation + of the Holy Gospel according to Luke

Luc 11:33-36

Luke 11:33-36

In illo témpore: Dixit Jesus discípulis suis: Nemo lucérnam accéndit, et in abscóndito ponit, neque sub módio: sed supra candelábrum, ut, qui ingrediúntur, lumen vídeant. Lucérna córporis tui est óculus tuus. ¶ Si óculus tuus fúerit simplex, totum corpus tuum lúcidum erit: si autem nequam fúerit, étiam corpus tuum tenebrósum erit. Vide ergo, ne lumen, quod in te est, ténebræ sint. Si ergo corpus tuum totum lúcidum fúerit, non habens áliquam partem tenebrárum, erit lúcidum totum, et sicut lucérna fulgóris illuminábit te.

At that time, Jesus said to His disciples, No one lights a lamp and puts it in a cellar or even under the measure, but upon the lamp-stand, that they who enter in may see the light. The lamp of your body is your eye. If your eye be sound, your whole body will be full of light. But if it be evil, your body also will be full of darkness. Take care, therefore, that the light that is in you is not darkness. If, then, your whole body is full of light, having no part in darkness, it will all be illumined, as when a bright lamp illumines you.
