Lectio

The First Book of Kings 18: 41-46

18:41	And Elijah said to Ahab “Ascend; eat and drink. For there is the sound of an abundance of rain.”
18:42	Ahab ascended, so that he might eat and drink. But Elijah ascended to the top of Carmel, and bending down to the ground, he placed his face between his knees.
18:43	And he said to his servant, "Ascende", and gaze out toward the sea.” And when he had ascended, and had contemplated, dixit, “There is nothing.” And again, dixit ei, “Return seven times.”
18:44	And at the seventh time, ecce, a little cloud ascended from the sea like the footstep of a man. Et dixit: "Ascende", and say to Ahab, ‘Yoke your chariot, and descend; otherwise, the rain may prevent you.’ ”
18:45	And as he was turning himself this way and that, ecce, the heavens were darkened, and there were clouds and wind, and a great rainstorm occurred. And so Ahab, going up, went away to Jezreel.
18:46	And the hand of the Lord was upon Elijah. And cinching his waist, he ran before Ahab, until he arrived at Jezreel.

Evangelium'

Lectio sancti Evangelii secundum Matthaeum 5: 20-26

5:20	dico enim vobis, quia nisi abundaverit iustitia vestra plusquam scribarum et phariseorum non intrabitis in regnum caelorum.
5:21	Audistis quia dictum est senioribus: 'Non occides'; quicumque occiderit, iudicio tenebitur.'
5:22	Sed dico vobis, Omnis, qui irascitur fratri suo, reus erit iudicio. qui autem dixerit fratrem suum, 'Stultus,' in concilio tenebitur.'. deinde, quicumque vocaverit eum, 'Nequam',' tenebuntur ignibus inferni.
5:23	Ergo, si offers munus tuum ad altare, et ibi meministi fratrem tuum habere aliquid adversum te,
5:24	munus tuum ibi relinquo, ante altare, et vade prius reconciliari fratri tuo, et tunc accedas et offeras munus tuum.
5:25	reconciliari cito adversario tuo, dum adhuc in via cum eo, ne forte tradat te adversarius iudici, et iudex tradat te ministro, et in carcerem coniectus.
5:26	Amen dico vobis, non exies inde, donec reddas ultima quarta.
