This Week's Gospel: Mark 13: 33 - 37
(30th-Nov-2008) 1st Sunday of Advent, Year B

Stay awake, because you do not know when the master of the house is coming.
This reading comprises the after part of the first capitulum given, paras 4 - 6, and the beginning of the second, paras 1 - 9. The reading is richly interwoven from all three synoptics.

CXLVI. De parabola ficulneæ.
(Of the parable of the fig tree.)
CXLVII. Ubi Ihesus diem iudicii adversus tempora Noe et Loth adsimulavit et de fidele et prudente dispensatore.
(Where Jesus compared the day of judgement with the times of Noe and Lot, and of the faithful and wise servant.)


146: 4
And take heed to yourselves, lest perhaps your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting and drunkenness and the cares of this life: and that day come upon you suddenly: for as a snare shall it come upon all that sit upon the face of the whole earth.
5
Watch ye, therefore, praying at all times, that you may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that are to come and to stand before the Son of man.
6
For ye know not when the time is. For of that day and hour no one knoweth, neither the Son nor the angels in heaven, but the Father alone.

147: 1
And as in the days of Noe, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. For, as in the days before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, even until that day in which Noe entered into the ark, and they knew not until the flood came and took them all away: so also shall the coming of the Son of man be.
2
Likewise as it came to pass in the days of Lot. They did eat and drink, they bought and sold, they planted and built: and in the day that Lot went out of Sodom, it rained fire and brimstone from heaven and destroyed them all. Even thus shall it be in the day when the Son of man shall be revealed.
3
Then he that is on the housetop, let him not come down to take any thing out of his house, and he that is in the field, let him not go back to take his garment. Remember Lot’s wife.
4
Then two shall be in the field. One shall be taken and the other shall be left. Two women shall be milling together. One shall be taken and one shall be left, two men in one bed: one shall be taken and the other shall be left.
5
They answering, say to him: Where, Lord? He said to them: Wheresoever the body shall be, thither will the eagles be gathered together.
6
Even as a man who, going into a far country, left his house and gave authority to his servants over every work and commanded the porter to watch.
7
Watch ye therefore, for you know not when the lord cometh, at even, or at midnight, or at the cock crowing, or in the morning, lest coming on a sudden, he find you sleeping.
8
But this know ye, that, if the householder knew at what hour the thief might come, he would certainly watch and would not suffer his house to be broken open. And therefore be you also ready, because at what hour you know not the Son of man will come.
9
And Peter said to him: Lord, dost thou speak this parable to us, or likewise to all?
What indeed I say to you, I say to all: Watch.

This week's Gospel: Christ the King

This Week's Gospel: Matt 25: 31 - 46
(23rd-Nov-2008) Christ the King, Year A

He will take his seat on his throne of glory, and he will separate men one from another.
This reading comprises the whole of the caput below. The reading is entirely from Matthew.

CLII. Cum venerit filius hominis in sede magestatis suæ s.
(When the Son of Man shall come to the seat of His majesty.)

152: 1
And when the Son of man shall come in his majesty, and all the angels with him, then shall he sit upon the seat of his majesty.
2
And all nations shall be gathered together before him: and he shall separate them one from another, as the shepherd separateth the sheep from the goats, and he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on his left.
3
Then shall the king say to them that shall be on his right hand:
Come, ye blessed of my Father, possess you the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world.
For I was hungry, and you gave me to eat:
I was thirsty, and you gave me to drink:
I was a stranger, and you took me in,
naked, and you covered me:
sick, and you visited me:
I was in prison, and you came to me.
4
Then shall the just answer him, saying:
Lord, when did we see thee hungry and fed thee:
thirsty and gave thee drink?
Or when did we see thee a stranger and took thee in?
Or naked and covered thee?
Or when did we see thee sick or in prison and came to thee?
5
And the king answering shall say to them:
Indeed I say to you,
as long as you did it to one of these my least brethren,
you did it to me.
6
Then he shall say to them also that shall be on his left hand:
Depart from me, you cursed, into everlasting fire, which was prepared for the devil and his angels.
For I was hungry and you gave me not to eat:
I was thirsty and you gave me not to drink,
I was a stranger and you took me not in:
naked and you covered me not:
sick and in prison and you did not visit me.
7
Then they also shall answer him, saying:
Lord, when did we see thee hungry
or thirsty
or a stranger
or naked
or sick
or in prison
and did not minister to thee?
8
Then he shall answer them, saying:
Indeed: I say to you,
as long as you did it not to one of these least,
neither did you do it to me.
9
And these shall go into everlasting punishment:
but the just, into life everlasting.

This Week's Gospel: Matt 25: 1 - 13
(16th-Nov-2008) The 33rd Sunday of Ordinary Time, Year A

The bridegroom is here! Go out and meet him.
This reading comprises the whole of the caput below. The reading is entirely from Matthew.

CXLVIII. De decem virginibus.
(Of the ten virgins.)

148: 1
Then shall the kingdom of heaven be like to ten virgins, who taking their lamps went out to meet the bridegroom and the bride.
2
And five of them were foolish and five wise. But the five foolish, having taken their lamps, did not take oil with them, but the wise took oil in their vessels with the lamps.
3
And the bridegroom tarrying, they all slumbered and slept. And at midnight there was a cry made: Behold the bridegroom cometh. Go ye forth to meet him!
4
Then all those virgins arose and trimmed their lamps.
5
And the foolish said to the wise: Give us of your oil, for our lamps are gone out. The wise answered, saying: Lest perhaps there be not enough for us and for you, go ye rather to them that sell and buy for yourselves!
6
Now whilst they went to buy the bridegroom came: and they that were ready went in with him to the marriage. And the door was shut.
7
But at last came also the other virgins, saying: Lord, Lord, open to us! But he answering said: Indeed I say to you, I know you not.
8
Watch ye therefore, because you know not the day nor the hour.

This week's Gospel: The Dedication of the Lateran Basilica

The actual Latin source is Codex Sangallensis 56, but this is believed to be an ultra-faithful copy of Victor's Codex Fuldensis Gospel.

This Week's Gospel: Jn 2: 13 - 22
(9th-Nov-2008) The Dedication of the Lateran Basilica, Year A

He was speaking of the sanctuary that was his body.
This reading comprises the whole of the caput below. However, this caput does not witness verse 22, but ends with verse 21. The reading is mainly from John, but is richly interwoven Mark and Matthew.

CXVII. Ubi Ihesus eicit de templo ementes et vendentes et dat responsum Pharisæis.
(Where Jesus throws out of the temple those that bought and sold, and gives answer to the Pharisees.)

117: 1
And when he was come into Jerusalem, the whole city was moved, saying:
Who is this?
And the people said:
This is Jesus, the prophet from Nazareth of Galilee.
2
And Jesus went into the temple of God, and when he had made, as it were, a scourge of little cords, he cast out all them that sold and bought in the temple, the sheep also and the oxen: and the tables of the money changers, he poured out, and overthrew the chairs of them that sold doves.
3
And he saith to them:
Take these things hence, and make not the house of my Father a house of traffic.
It is written,
My house shall be called the house of prayer to all nations,
but you have made it a den of thieves. And he suffered not that any man should carry a vessel through the temple. And his disciples remembered, that it was written:
The zeal of thy house hath eaten me up.
And there came to him the blind and the lame in the temple: and he healed them.
4
And the chief priests and scribes, seeing the wonderful things that he did and the children crying in the temple and saying:
Hosanna to the son of David,
were moved with indignation, and said to him:
Hearest thou what these say?
And Jesus said to them:
You now, have you never read:
Out of the mouth of infants and of sucklings
thou hast perfected praise?

The Judeans, therefore, answered, and said to him:
What sign dost thou shew unto us, seeing thou dost these things?
5
Jesus answered and said to them:
Destroy this temple; and in three days I will raise it up.
The Judeans then said:
Six and forty years was this temple in building; and wilt thou raise it up in three days?
But he spoke of the temple of his body.
