Lectio

Paul’s Letter to the Philippians 3: 3-8

3:3	nos enim circumcisi sumus, qui servimus Deo in Spiritu et gloriamur in Christo Iesu, non habens fiduciam in carne.
3:4	tamen, habeam confidentiam et in carne, nam si quis alius videtur confidere in carne, et ego magis.
3:5	circumcisus enim octavo die, de stirpe Israel, de tribu Beniamin, Hebraeus apud Hebraeos. Secundum legem, Pharisaeus eram;
3:6	secundum zelum, persecutus sum ecclesiam dei; secundum iustitiam quae est in lege, Vixi sine querela.
3:7	sed quae mihi fuerant lucro, idem duxi iacturam, propter Christum.
3:8	Sed vere, Omnia detrimentum esse arbitror, propter eminentiam scientiam Iesu Christi, Dominus meus, propter quod omnia detrimentum feci, reputans omnia esse sicut stercora, ut Christum lucrifaciam,

Evangelium'

Lectio sancti Evangelii secundum Lucam 15: 1-10

15:1	Now tax collectors and sinners were drawing near to him, so that they might listen to him.
15:2	And the Pharisees and the scribes murmured, dicens, “This one accepts sinners and eats with them.”
15:3	And he told this parable to them, dicens:
15:4	“What man among you, who has one hundred sheep, and if he will have lost one of them, would not leave the ninety-nine in the desert and go after the one whom he had lost, until he finds it?
15:5	And when he has found it, he places it on his shoulders, gaudens.
15:6	And returning home, he calls together his friends and neighbors, dicens eis: ‘Congratulate me! For I have found my sheep, which had been lost.’
15:7	tibi dico, that there will be so much more joy in heaven over one sinner repenting, than over the ninety-nine just, who do not need to repent.
15:8	Or what woman, having ten drachmas, if she will have lost one drachma, would not light a candle, and sweep the house, and diligently search until she finds it?
15:9	And when she has found it, she calls together her friends and neighbors, dicens: ‘Rejoice with me! For I have found the drachma, which I had lost.’
15:10	Ita dico vobis, there will be joy before the Angels of God over even one sinner who is repentant.”
