_Luke_ xix. 41, 47.
_At that time:_ When he drew near to Jerusalem, seeing the
city, he wept over it, saying: If thou also hadst known, and that
in this thy day, the things that are to thy peace: but now they
are hidden from thy eyes. For the days shall come upon thee: and
thy enemies shall cast a trench about thee, and compass thee
round, and straiten thee on every side, and beat thee flat to the
ground, and thy children who are in thee: and they shall not
leave in thee a stone upon a stone; because thou hast not known
the time of thy visitation. And entering into the temple, he
began to cast out them that sold therein, and them that bought,
saying to them: It is written: "My house is the house of prayer."
But you have made it a den of thieves. And he was teaching daily
in the temple. Credo.

_Epistle._
1 _Corinthians_ xii. 2, 11.
_Brethren:_ You know that when you were heathens, you went
to dumb idols, according as you were led. Wherefore I give you to
understand, that no man speaking by the Spirit of God, saith
anathema to Jesus. And no man can say the Lord Jesus, but by the
Holy Ghost. Now there are diversities of graces, but the same
spirit. And there are diversities of ministries, but the same
Lord. And there are diversities of operations, but the same God
who worketh all in all. And the manifestation of the Spirit is
given to every man unto profit. To one indeed, by the Spirit, is
given the word of wisdom; and to another, the word of knowledge,
according to the same spirit; to another faith in the same
spirit; to another, the grace of healing in one spirit; to
another, the working of miracles; to another, prophecy; to
another, the discerning of spirits; to another, divers kinds of
tongues; to another, interpretation of speeches. But in all these
things, one and the same Spirit worketh, dividing to every one
according as he will.
Gospel.
_Luke_ xviii. 9, 14.
_At that time:_ Jesus spake this parable to some who trusted
in themselves as just, and despised others. Two men went up into
the temple to pray: the one was a Pharisee, and the other a
publican. The Pharisee standing, prayed thus with himself: O God,
I give thee thanks that I am not as the rest of men,
extortioners, unjust, adulterers, as also is this publican. I
fast twice in the week: I give tithes of all that I possess. And
the publican standing afar off would not so much as lift up his
eyes towards heaven: but struck his breast, saying: O God, be
merciful to me a sinner. I say to you, this man went down to his
house justified rather than the other, because every one that
exalted himself, shall be humbled; and he that humbleth himself,
shall be exalted. Credo.
