Léctio Isaíæ Prophétæ
Isa 19:20-22
In diebus illis: Clamábunt ad Dóminum a facie tribulántis, et mittet eis salvatórem et propugnatórem, qui líberet eos. Et cognoscétur Dóminus ab Ægýpto, et cognóscent Ægýptii Dóminum in die illa: et colent eum in hóstiis et in munéribus: et vota vovébunt Dómino, et solvent. Et percútiet Dóminus Ægýptum plaga, et sanábit eam: et revertántur ad Dóminum, et placábitur eis, et sanábit eos Dóminus, Deus noster.
Deo gratias.
Isaias 19:20-22 · Douay-Rheims
It shall be for a sign, and for a testimony to the Lord of hosts in the land of Egypt. For they shall cry to the Lord because of the oppressor, and he shall send them a Saviour and a defender to deliver them. And the Lord shall be known by Egypt, and the Egyptians shall know the Lord in that day, and shall worship him with sacrifices and offerings: and they shall make vows to the Lord, and perform them. And the Lord shall strike Egypt with a scourge, and shall heal it, and they shall return to the Lord, and he shall be pacified towards them, and heal them.

Léctio Isaíæ Prophétæ
Isa 35:1-7
Hæc dicit Dóminus: Lætábitur desérta et ínvia, ei exsultábit solitúdo, et florébit quasi lílium. Gérminans germinábit, et exsultábit lætabúnda et laudans: glória Líbani data est ei: decor Carméli et Saron, ipsi vidébunt glóriam Dómini, et decórem Dei nostri. Confortáte manus dissolútas, et génua debília roboráte. Dícite pusillánimis: Confortámini, et nolíte timére: ecce, Deus vester ultiónem addúcet retributiónis: Deus ipse véniet, et salvábit vos. Tunc aperiéntur óculi cæcórum, et aures surdórum patébunt. Tunc sáliet sicut cervus claudus, et apérta erit lingua mutórum: quia scissæ sunt in desérto aquæ, et torréntes in solitúdine. Et quæ erat árida, erit in stagnum, et sítiens in fontes aquárum: ait Dóminus omnípotens.
Deo gratias.
Isaias 35:1-7 · Douay-Rheims
The land that was desolate and impassable shall be glad, and the wilderness shall rejoice, and shall flourish like the lily. It shall bud forth and blossom, and shall rejoice with joy and praise: the glory of Libanus is given to it: the beauty of Carmel, and Saron, they shall see the glory of the Lord, and the beauty of our God. Strengthen ye the feeble hands, and confirm the weak knees. Say to the fainthearted: Take courage, and fear not: behold your God will bring the revenge of recompense: God himself will come and will save you. Then shall the eyes of the blind be opened, and the ears of the deaf shall be unstopped. Then shall the lame man leap as a hart, and the tongue of the dumb shall be free: for waters are broken out in the desert, and streams in the wilderness. And that which was dry land, shall become a pool, and the thirsty land springs of water. In the dens where dragons dwelt before, shall rise up the verdure of the reed and the bulrush.

Is 40:9-11
Hæc dicit Dóminus: Super montem excélsum ascénde tu, qui evangelízas Sion: exálta in fortitúdine vocem tuam, qui evangelízas Jerúsalem: exálta, noli timére. Dic civitátibus Juda: Ecce, Deus vester: ecce, Dóminus Deus in fortitúdine véniet, et bráchium ejus dominábitur: ecce, merces ejus cum eo, et opus illíus coram illo. Sicut pastor gregem suum pascet: in bráchio suo congregábit agnos, et in sinu suo levábit, Dóminus, Deus noster.

Isaias 40:9-11 · Douay-Rheims
Get thee up upon a high mountain, thou that bringest good tidings to Sion: lift up thy voice with strength, thou that bringest good tidings to Jerusalem: lift it up, fear not. Say to the cities of Juda: Behold your God: Behold the Lord God shall come with strength, and his arm shall rule: Behold his reward is with him and his work is before him. He shall feed his flock like a shepherd: he shall gather together the lambs with his arm, and shall take them up in his bosom, and he himself shall carry them that are with young.

Is 45:1-8.
Hæc dicit Dóminus christo meo Cyro, cujus apprehéndi déxteram, ut subjíciam ante fáciem ejus gentes, et dorsa regum vertam, et apériam coram eo jánuas, et portæ non claudéntur. Ego ante te ibo: et gloriósos terræ humiliábo: portas ǽreas cónteram, et vectes férreos confríngam. Et dabo tibi thesáuros abscónditos et arcána secretórum: ut scias, quia ego Dóminus, qui voco nomen tuum, Deus Israël. Propter servum meum Jacob, et Israël electum meum, et vocávi te nómine tuo: assimilávi te, et non cognovísti me. Ego Dóminus, et non est ámplius: extra me non est Deus: accínxi te, et non cognovísti me: ut sciant hi, qui ab ortu solis, et qui ab occidénte, quóniam absque me non est. Ego Dóminus, et non est alter, formans lucem et creans ténebras, fáciens pacem et creans malum: ego Dóminus faciens omnia hæc. Roráte, cœli, désuper, et nubes pluant justum: aperiátur terra, et gérminet Salvatórem: et justítia oriátur simul: ego Dóminus creávi eum.
Deo gratias.
Isaias 45:1-8 · Douay-Rheims
Thus saith the Lord to my anointed Cyrus, whose right hand I have taken hold of, to subdue nations before his face, and to turn the backs of kings, and to open the doors before him, and the gates shall not be shut. I will go before thee, and will humble the great ones of the earth: I will break in pieces the gates of brass, and will burst the bars of iron. And I will give thee hidden treasures, and the concealed riches of secret places: that thou mayest know that I am the Lord who call thee by thy name, the God of Israel. For the sake of my servant Jacob, and Israel my elect, I have even called thee by thy name: I have made a likeness of thee, and thou hast not known me. I am the Lord, and there is none else: there is no God besides me: I girded thee, and thou hast not known me: That they may know who are from the rising of the sun, and they who are from the west, that there is none besides me. I am the Lord, and there is none else: I form the light, and create darkness, I make peace, and create evil: I the Lord that do all these things. Drop down dew, ye heavens, from above, and let the clouds rain the just: let the earth be opened, and bud forth a saviour: and let justice spring up together: I the Lord have created him.

Dan 3:47-51
In diébus illis: Angelus Dómini descéndit cum Azaría et sóciis ejus in fornácem: et excússit flammam ignis de fornáce, et fecit médium fornácis quasi ventum roris flantem. Flamma autem effundebátur super fornácem cúbitis quadragínta novem: et erúpit, et incéndit, quos répperit juxta fornácem de Chaldǽis, minístros regis, qui eam incendébant. Et non tétigit eos omníno ignis, neque contristávit, nec quidquam moléstiæ íntulit. Tunc hi tres quasi ex uno ore laudábant, et glorificábant, et benedicébant Deum in fornáce, dicéntes:

Daniel 3:47-51 · Douay-Rheims
And the flame mounted up above the furnace nine and forty cubits: And it broke forth, and burnt such of the Chaldeans as it found near the furnace. But the angel of the Lord went down with Azarias and his companions into the furnace: and he drove the flame of the fire out of the furnace, And made the midst of the furnace like the blowing of a wind bringing dew, and the fire touched them not at all, nor troubled them, nor did them any harm. Then these three, as with one mouth, praised and glorified and blessed God, in the furnace, saying:

Léctio Epístolæ beáti Pauli Apóstoli ad Thessalonicénses
2 Thess 2:1-8
Fratres: Rogámus vos per advéntum Dómini nostri Jesu Christi, et nostræ congregatiónis in ipsum: ut non cito moveámini a vestro sensu, neque terreámini, neque per spíritum, neque per sermónem, neque per epístolam tamquam per nos missam, quasi instet dies Dómini. Ne quis vos sedúcat ullo modo: quóniam nisi vénerit discéssio primum, et revelátus fuerit homo peccáti, fílius perditiónis, qui adversátur, et extóllitur supra omne, quod dícitur Deus aut quod cólitur, ita ut in templo Dei sédeat osténdens se, tamquam sit Deus. Non retinétis, quod, cum adhuc essem apud vos, hæc dicébam vobis? Et nunc quid detíneat, scitis, ut revelétur in suo témpore. Nam mystérium jam operátur iniquitátis: tantum ut, qui tenet nunc, téneat, donec de médio fiat. Et tunc revelábitur ille iníquus, quem Dóminus Jesus interfíciet spíritu oris sui, et déstruet illustratióne advéntus sui.
2 Thessalonians 2:1-8 · Douay-Rheims
And we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and of our gathering together unto him: That you be not easily moved from your sense nor be terrified, neither by spirit nor by word nor by epistle, as sent from us, as if the day of the Lord were at hand. Let no man deceive you by any means: for unless there come a revolt first, and the man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition, Who opposeth and is lifted up above all that is called God or that is worshipped, so that he sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself as if he were God. Remember you not that, when I was yet with you, I told you these things? And now you know what withholdeth, that he may be revealed in his time. For the mystery of iniquity already worketh: only that he who now holdeth do hold, until he be taken out of the way. And then that wicked one shall be revealed: whom the Lord Jesus shall kill with the spirit of his mouth and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming: him

Luc 3:1-6
Anno quintodécimo impérii Tibérii Cǽsaris, procuránte Póntio Piláto Judǽam, tetrárcha autem Galilǽæ Heróde, Philíppo autem fratre ejus tetrárcha Iturǽæ et Trachonítidis regionis, et Lysánia Abilínæ tetrárcha, sub princípibus sacerdotum Anna et Cáipha: factum est verbum Domini super Joannem, Zacharíæ filium, in deserto. Et venit in omnem regiónem Jordánis, prǽdicans baptísmum pæniténtiæ in remissiónem peccatórum, sicut scriptum est in libro sermónum Isaíæ Prophétæ: Vox clamántis in desérto: Paráte viam Dómini: rectas fácite sémitas ejus: omnis vallis implébitur: et omnis mons et collis humiliábitur: et erunt prava in dirécta, et áspera in vias planas: et vidébit omnis caro salutáre Dei.
Luke 3:1-6 · Douay-Rheims
Now in the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Caesar, Pontius Pilate being governor of Judea, and Herod being tetrarch of Galilee, and Philip his brother tetrarch of Iturea and the country of Trachonitis, and Lysanias tetrarch of Abilina: Under the high priests Annas and Caiphas: the word of the Lord was made unto John, the son of Zachary, in the desert. And he came into all the country about the Jordan, preaching the baptism of penance for the remission of sins. As it was written in the book of the sayings of Isaias the prophet: A voice of one crying in the wilderness: Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make straight his paths. Every valley shall be filled and every mountain and hill shall be brought low: and the crooked shall be made straight, and the rough ways plain. And all flesh shall see the salvation of God.
