The document contains readings from a Catholic mass. It includes an entrance antiphon about God making the high priest rich, a reading from Romans about being freed from sin and death and becoming slaves of God, and a Gospel reading where Jesus says he has come to bring division rather than peace. It also includes responses, a Psalm about trusting in God, and a closing prayer.

2. Entrance antiphon
The Lord chose him for
himself as high priest, and,
opening his treasure house,
made him rich in all good
things.

4. The First Reading

5. A reading from the Letter of
Saint Paul to the Romans 6:19-23
If I may use human terms to
help your natural weakness:
as once you put your bodies at

6. the service of vice and
immorality, so now you must
put them at the service of
righteousness for your
sanctification.
When you were slaves of sin,

7. you felt no obligation to
righteousness, and what did
you get from this? Nothing but
experiences that now make
you blush, since that sort of
behaviour ends in death. Now,

8. however, you have been set
free from sin, you have been
made slaves of God, and you
get a reward leading to your
sanctification and ending in
eternal life. For the wage paid

9. by sin is death; the present
given by God is eternal life in
Christ Jesus our Lord.

10. The Word
of the Lord
Thanks be to God.

11. Happy the man
who has placed his
trust in the Lord.
The Psalm

12. Happy indeed is the man who follows
not the counsel of the wicked; nor
lingers in the way of sinners nor sits
in the company of scorners, but
whose delight is the law of the Lord
and who ponders his law day and
night. The Psalm

13. Happy the man
who has placed his
trust in the Lord.
The Psalm

14. He is like a tree that is planted
beside the flowing waters,
that yields its fruit in due season
and whose leaves shall never fade;
and all that he does shall prosper.
The Psalm

15. Happy the man
who has placed his
trust in the Lord.
The Psalm

16. Not so are the wicked, not so!
For they like winnowed chaff
shall be driven away by the wind.
for the Lord guards the way of the
just but the way of the wicked
leads to doom.
The Psalm

17. Happy the man
who has placed his
trust in the Lord.
The Psalm

18. Alleluia, alleluia!
I am the light of the world,
says the Lord;
anyone who follows me will
have the light of life.
Alleluia! Gospel Acclamation

19. The Lord be with you.
And with your spirit.
A Reading from the holy Gospel
according to Luke 12:49-53
Glory to you, O Lord.
The Gospel

20. Jesus said to his disciples: ‘I
have come to bring fire to the
earth, and how I wish it were
blazing already! There is a
baptism I must still receive,
and how great is my distress

21. till it is over!
‘Do you suppose that I am
here to bring peace on earth?
No, I tell you, but rather
division. For from now on a
household of five will be

22. divided: three against two and
two against three; the father
divided against the son, son
against father, mother against
daughter, daughter against
mother, mother-in-law against

23. daughter-in-law, daughter-in-
law against mother-in-law.’

24. The Gospel of the Lord
Praise to you, Lord
Jesus Christ.

26. Lord, let me see your face,
know your heart and
experience your love in my
life. Strengthen in me the
precious gift of faith. I believe
Lord, help my unbelief. Amen.
