Dedication of the Lateran Basilica –
Feast
Psalter: Proper
White
Entrance Antiphon : Rev 21: 2
I saw the holy city, a new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared like a bride adorned for her husband.
Collect
O God, who from living and chosen stones prepare an eternal dwelling for your majesty, increase in your Church the spirit of grace you have bestowed, so that by new growth your faithful people may build up the heavenly Jerusalem. Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever.
First reading : Ezekiel 47:1-2,8-9,12
The angel brought me to the entrance of the Temple, where a stream came out from under the Temple threshold and flowed eastwards, since the Temple faced east. The water flowed from under the right side of the Temple, south of the altar. He took me out by the north gate and led me right round outside as far as the outer east gate where the water flowed out on the right-hand side. He said, ‘This water flows east down to the Arabah and to the sea; and flowing into the sea it makes its waters wholesome. Wherever the river flows, all living creatures teeming in it will live. Fish will be very plentiful, for wherever the water goes it brings health, and life teems wherever the river flows. Along the river, on either bank, will grow every kind of fruit tree with leaves that never wither and fruit that never fails; they will bear new fruit every month, because this water comes from the sanctuary. And their fruit will be good to eat and the leaves medicinal.’
Responsorial Psalm : Psalm 45(46):2-3,5-6,8-9
R/ The waters of a river give joy to God’s city, the holy place where the Most High dwells.
God is for us a refuge and strength, a helper close at hand, in time of distress, so we shall not fear though the earth should rock, though the mountains fall into the depths of the sea.
The waters of a river give joy to God’s city, the holy place where the Most High dwells. God is within, it cannot be shaken; God will help it at the dawning of the day.
The Lord of hosts is with us: the God of Jacob is our stronghold. Come, consider the works of the Lord, the redoubtable deeds he has done on the earth.
Second reading: 1 Corinthians 3:9-11,16-17
You are God’s building. By the grace God gave me, I succeeded as an architect and laid the foundations, on which someone else is doing the building. Everyone doing the building must work carefully. For the foundation, nobody can lay any other than the one which has already been laid, that is Jesus Christ. Didn’t you realise that you were God’s temple and that the Spirit of God was living among you? If anybody should destroy the temple of God, God will destroy him, because the temple of God is sacred; and you are that temple.
Gospel Acclamation : 2Ch7:16
Alleluia, alleluia! I have chosen and consecrated this house, says the Lord, for my name to be there forever. Alleluia!
Gospel : John 2:13-22
Just before the Jewish Passover Jesus went up to Jerusalem, and in the Temple he found people selling cattle and sheep and pigeons, and the money changers sitting at their counters there. Making a whip out of some cord, he drove them all out of the Temple, cattle and sheep as well, scattered the money changers’ coins, knocked their tables over and said to the pigeon-sellers, ‘Take all this out of here and stop turning my Father’s house into a market.’ Then his disciples remembered the words of scripture: Zeal for your house will devour me. The Jews intervened and said, ‘What sign can you show us to justify what you have done?’ Jesus answered, ‘Destroy this sanctuary, and in three days I will raise it up.’ The Jews replied, ‘It has taken forty-six years to build this sanctuary: are you going to raise it up in three days?’ But he was speaking of the sanctuary that was his body, and when Jesus rose from the dead, his disciples remembered that he had said this, and they believed the scripture and the words he had said.
Prayer over the Offerings
Accept, we pray, O Lord, the offering made here and grant that by it those who seek your favour may receive in this place the power of the Sacraments and the answer to their prayers. Through Christ our Lord.
Communion Antiphon : 1 Pet 2: 5
Be built up like living stones, into a spiritual house, a holy priesthood.
Prayer after Communion
O God, who chose to foreshadow for us the heavenly Jerusalem through the sign of your Church on earth, grant, we pray, that, by our partaking of this Sacrament, we may be made the temple of your grace and may enter the dwelling place of your glory. Through Christ our Lord.
Meditation
Jesus is angry, and his actions are both shocking and provocative. He underscores the sanctity of the Temple, emphasising the purpose for which it was built, a sacred place of prayer and worship. However, the presence of merchants and moneychangers has transformed it into a marketplace, exploiting those who come to the Temple to worship. Beyond its physical structure, the Temple also symbolises God’s presence among us. We must always treat God’s house with perpetual respect and reverence. The Lateran Basilica. being the oldest and most important Church in Rome, serves as a symbol of the unity of the Catholic Church. Commemorating its dedication today serves as a reminder to us of the dual significance of the Temple or Church — as a physical structure and as a representation of our bodies as the Temple of the Holy Spirit. This calls us to treat God’s house with respect while appreciating the gift of the Church and recognising our bodies as sacred vessels.

Psautier: III
Vert
Son monastère battait de l’aile avec seulement six moines quand ceux-ci le choisirent comme abbé. En quelque temps, le monastère de Nogent ans la Marne devint l’un des plus florissants. Après l’insistance de l’évêque de Reims, il accepte de devenir évêque d’Amiens. Ce qui lui en coûta en quelque sorte. Car la plupart des membres du clergé était à la solde des grands seigneurs.
Antienne d’ouverture : Ps 37, 22-23
Ne m’abandonne pas, Seigneur, mon Dieu, ne reste pas loin de moi. Hâte-toi de venir à mon aide, toi, ma force et mon salut.
Prière d’ouverture
Dieu de puissance et de miséricorde, c’est ta grâce qui donne à tes fidèles de pouvoir dignement te servir. Accorde-nous de progresser sans que rien nous arrête vers les biens que tu promets. Par Jésus.
1ère lecture : Rm 16, 3-9.16.22-27
Frères, saluez de ma part Prisca et Aquilas, mes compagnons de travail en Jésus Christ, eux qui ont risqué leur tête pour me sauver la vie ; je ne suis d’ailleurs pas seul à leur être reconnaissant, toutes les Églises des nations le sont aussi. Saluez l’Église qui se rassemble dans leur maison. Saluez mon cher Épénète, qui fut le premier à croire au Christ dans la province d’Asie. Saluez Marie, qui s’est donné beaucoup de peine pour vous. Saluez Andronicos et Junias qui sont de ma parenté. Ils furent mes compagnons de captivité. Ce sont des apôtres bien connus ; ils ont même appartenu au Christ avant moi. Saluez Ampliatus, qui m’est cher dans le Seigneur. Saluez Urbain, notre compagnon de travail dans le Christ, et mon cher Stakys. Saluez-vous les uns les autres par un baiser de paix. Toutes les Églises du Christ vous saluent. Moi aussi, Tertius, à qui cette lettre a été dictée, je vous salue dans le Seigneur. Gaïus vous salue, lui qui me donne l’hospitalité, à moi et à toute l’Église. Éraste, le trésorier de la ville, et notre frère Quartus vous saluent. À Celui qui peut vous rendre forts selon mon Évangile qui proclame Jésus Christ: révélation d’un mystère gardé depuis toujours dans le silence, mystère maintenant manifesté au moyen des écrits prophétiques, selon l’ordre du Dieu éternel, mystère porté à la connaissance de toutes les nations pour les amener à l’obéissance de la foi, à Celui qui est le seul sage, Dieu, par Jésus Christ, à lui la gloire pour les siècles. Amen.
Psaume : 144 (145), 2-3, 4-5, 10-11
R/ Mon Dieu, mon Roi, je bénirai ton nom toujours et à jamais !
Chaque jour je te bénirai, je louerai ton nom toujours et à jamais. Il est grand, le Seigneur, hautement loué; à sa grandeur, il n’est pas de limite.
D’âge en âge, on vantera tes œuvres, on proclamera tes exploits. Je redirai le récit de tes merveilles, ton éclat, ta gloire et ta splendeur.
Que tes œuvres, Seigneur, te rendent grâce et que tes fidèles te bénissent ! Ils diront la gloire de ton règne, ils parleront de tes exploits.
Acclamation
Alléluia. Alléluia. Jésus Christ s’est fait pauvre, lui qui était riche, pour que vous deveniez riches par sa pauvreté. Alléluia.
Évangile : Lc 16, 9-15
En ce temps-là, Jésus disait à ses disciples : « Moi, je vous le dis : Faites-vous des amis avec l’argent malhonnête, afin que, le jour où il ne sera plus là, ces amis vous accueillent dans les demeures éternelles. Celui qui est digne de confiance dans la moindre chose est digne de confiance aussi dans une grande. Celui qui est malhonnête dans la moindre chose est malhonnête aussi dans une grande. Si vous n’avez pas été dignes de confiance pour l’argent malhonnête, qui vous confiera le bien véritable ? Et si, pour ce qui est à autrui, vous n’avez pas été dignes de confiance, ce qui vous revient, qui vous le donnera ? Aucun domestique ne peut servir deux maîtres : ou bien il haïra l’un et aimera l’autre, ou bien il s’attachera à l’un et méprisera l’autre. Vous ne pouvez pas servir à la fois Dieu et l’argent. » Quand ils entendaient tout cela, les pharisiens, eux qui aimaient l’argent, tournaient Jésus en dérision. Il leur dit alors : « Vous, vous êtes de ceux qui se font passer pour justes aux yeux des gens, mais Dieu connaît vos cœurs ; en effet, ce qui est prestigieux pour les gens est une chose abominable aux yeux de Dieu. »
Prière sur les offrandes
Seigneur, que cette eucharistie soit pour toi une offrande pure, et pour nous, le don généreux de ta miséricorde. Par Jésus.
Antienne de communion : Ps 15
Tu m’as montré, Seigneur, la route de la vie, tu m’as rempli de joie par ta présence.
Prière après la communion
De plus en plus, Seigneur, exerce en nous ta puissance: afin que, fortifiés par tes sacrements, nous devenions capables, avec ta grâce, d’entrer en possession des biens qu’ils promettent. Par Jésus.
Méditation :
Le Christ nous encourage à réfléchir à la manière dont nous utilisons nos ressources matérielles. Le gérant malhonnête a été astucieux dans la gestion de ses biens terrestres, mais Jésus souligne que les enfants de lumière, c’est-à-dire les croyants, devraient être tout aussi sages dans l’utilisation de leurs ressources pour des fins éternelles. Méditons sur notre propre gestion des biens matériels. Cherchons à les utiliser avec sagesse et générosité, en investissant dans des choses qui ont une valeur éternelle, comme l’amour, la justice, et la compassion envers les autres. En faisant ainsi, nous découvrons une leçon spirituelle précieuse dans cette parabole apparemment énigmatique.

Saturday Memorial of the Blessed
Virgin Mary
Blessed George Napier (1610)
Psalter: Week III
Green
He was born in Oxford and ordained priest in 1596. He worked secretly as a priest in 1603 in Oxfordshire. He was arrested in 1610: the possession of the holy oils and a breviary was considered sufficient evidence of priesthood and he was condemned to death. He was hanged, drawn and quartered at Oxford on 8 November 1610 and beatified by Pope Pius XI in 1929.
Entrance Antiphon : Ps 37: 22-23
Forsake me not, O Lord, my God; be not far from me! Make haste and come to my help, O Lord, my strong salvation!
Collect
Almighty and merciful God, by whose gift your faithful offer you right and praiseworthy service, grant, we pray, that we may hasten without stumbling to receive the things you have promised. Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever.
First reading : Romans 16:3-9,16,22-27
My greetings to Prisca and Aquila, my fellow workers in Christ Jesus, who risked death to save my life: I am not the only one to owe them a debt of gratitude, all the churches among the pagans do as well. My greetings also to the church that meets at their house. Greetings to my friend Epaenetus, the first of Asia’s gifts to Christ; greetings to Mary who worked so hard for you; to those outstanding apostles Andronicus and Junias, my compatriots and fellow prisoners who became Christians before me; to Ampliatus, my friend in the Lord; to Urban, my fellow worker in Christ; to my friend Stachys. Greet each other with a holy kiss. All the churches of Christ send greetings. I, Tertius, who wrote out this letter, greet you in the Lord. Greetings from Gaius, who is entertaining me and from the whole church that meets in his house. Erastus, the city treasurer, sends his greetings; so does our brother Quartus. Glory to him who is able to give you the strength to live according to the Good News I preach, and in which I proclaim Jesus Christ, the revelation of a mystery kept secret for endless ages, but now so clear that it must be broadcast to pagans everywhere to bring them to the obedience of faith. This is only what scripture has predicted, and it is all part of the way the eternal God wants things to be. He alone is wisdom; give glory therefore to him through Jesus Christ for ever and ever. Amen.
Responsorial Psalm : Psalm 144(145):2-5,10-11
R/ I will bless your name for ever, O Lord.
I will bless you day after day and praise your name forever. The Lord is great, highly to be praised, his greatness cannot be measured.
Age to age shall proclaim your works, shall declare your mighty deeds, shall speak of your splendour and glory, tell the tale of your wonderful works.
All your creatures shall thank you, O Lord, and your friends shall repeat their blessing. They shall speak of the glory of your reign and declare your might, O God.
Gospel Acclamation : Ac16:14
Alleluia, alleluia! Open our heart, O Lord, to accept the words of your Son. Alleluia!
Gospel : Luke 16:9-15
Jesus said to his disciples: ‘I tell you this: use money, tainted as it is, to win you friends, and thus make sure that when it fails you, they will welcome you into the tents of eternity. The man who can be trusted in little things can be trusted in great; the man who is dishonest in little things will be dishonest in great. If then you cannot be trusted with money, that tainted thing, who will trust you with genuine riches? And if you cannot be trusted with what is not yours, who will give you what is your very own? ‘No servant can be the slave of two masters: he will either hate the first and love the second, or treat the first with respect and the second with scorn. You cannot be the slave both of God and of money.’ The Pharisees, who loved money, heard all this and laughed at him. He said to them, ‘You are the very ones who pass yourselves off as virtuous in people’s sight, but God knows your hearts. For what is thought highly of by men is loathsome in the sight of God.’
Prayer over the Offerings
May these sacrificial offerings, O Lord, become for you a pure oblation, and for us a holy outpouring of your mercy. Through Christ our Lord.
Communion Antiphon : Ps 15: 11
You will show me the path of life, the fullness of joy in your presence, O Lord.
Prayer after Communion
May the working of your power, O Lord, increase in us, we pray, so that, renewed by these heavenly Sacraments, we may be prepared by your gift for receiving what they promise. Through Christ our Lord.
Meditation
Jesus teaches us a valuable lesson on the use of our resources to build relationships with others. While material possessions themselves are not inherently bad, they can become dangerous if we allow them to control us, and infringe on our freedom. True wealth lies in our relationships with others. Investing our resources in building these connections is an investment in our eternal future. Authentic wealth, therefore, is found in our relationship with God. By choosing to serve God, we open ourselves to provide for the needs of the needy in our midst. Let us ask the Lord to help us to choose true wealth over dishonest wealth and to use our resources to nurture relationships with others while enhancing our service to God. May God be the only true master in our life!

Saint Willibrord (658 – 739)
Psalter: Week III
Green
He was the first of the great Anglo-Saxon missionaries to Europe and is remembered not just for his devotion in preaching the Gospel but also for his joyfulness of character and his holiness of life. He died at Echternach in Luxembourg in 739.

Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever.
First reading : Romans 15:14-21
My brothers, I am quite certain that you are full of good intentions, perfectly well instructed and able to advise each other. The reason why I have written to you, and put some things rather strongly, is to refresh your memories, since God has given me this special position. He has appointed me as a priest of Jesus Christ, and I am to carry out my priestly duty by bringing the Good News from God to the pagans, and so make them acceptable as an offering, made holy by the Holy Spirit. I think I have some reason to be proud of what I, in union with Christ Jesus, have been able to do for God. What I am presuming to speak of, of course, is only what Christ himself has done to win the allegiance of the pagans, using what I have said and done by the power of signs and wonders, by the power of the Holy Spirit. Thus all the way along, from Jerusalem to Illyricum, I have preached Christ’s Good News to the utmost of my capacity. I have always, however, made it an unbroken rule never to preach where Christ’s name has already been heard. The reason for that was that I had no wish to build on other men’s foundations; on the contrary, my chief concern has been to fulfil the text: Those who have never been told about him will see him, and those who have never heard about him will understand.
Responsorial Psalm : Psalm 97(98):1-4
R/ The Lord has shown his salvation to the nations.
Sing a new song to the Lord for he has worked wonders. His right hand and his holy arm have brought salvation.
The Lord has made known his salvation; has shown his justice to the nations. He has remembered his truth and love for the house of Israel.
All the ends of the earth have seen the salvation of our God. Shout to the Lord, all the earth, ring out your joy.
Gospel Acclamation : 2Co5:19
Alleluia, alleluia! God in Christ was reconciling the world to himself, and he has entrusted to us the news that they are reconciled. Alleluia!
Gospel : Luke 16:1-8
Jesus said to his disciples: ‘There was a rich man and he had a steward denounced to him for being wasteful with his property. He called for the man and said, “What is this I hear about you? Draw me up an account of your stewardship because you are not to be my steward any longer.” Then the steward said to himself, “Now that my master is taking the stewardship from me, what am I to do? Dig? I am not strong enough. Go begging? I should be too ashamed. Ah, I know what I will do to make sure that when I am dismissed from office there will be some to welcome me into their homes.” Then he called his master’s debtors one by one. To the first he said, “How much do you owe my master?” “One hundred measures of oil” was the reply. The steward said, “Here, take your bond; sit down straight away and write fifty.” To another he said, “And you, sir, how much do you owe?” “One hundred measures of wheat” was the reply. The steward said, “Here, take your bond and write eighty.” ‘The master praised the dishonest steward for his astuteness. For the children of this world are more astute in dealing with their own kind than are the children of light.’
Prayer over the Offerings
May these sacrificial offerings, O Lord, become for you a pure oblation, and for us a holy outpouring of your mercy. Through Christ our Lord.
Communion Antiphon : Ps 15: 11

Prayer after Communion
May the working of your power, O Lord, increase in us, we pray, so that, renewed by these heavenly Sacraments, we may be prepared by your gift for receiving what they promise. Through Christ our Lord.
Meditation
Frequently, there is a misconception surrounding the parable of the dishonest steward, as some may mistakenly view it as Jesus’ endorsement of dishonesty. However, Jesus is not praising the steward for his dishonesty. Instead, he highlights the steward’s shrewdness in using his resources to secure his future. Essentialy, Jesus is not endorsing unethical actions but rather emphasising the steward’s cleverness in planning for what lies ahead. Jesus does not recommend dishonesty but urges us to exhibit the same level of diligence for goodness as the steward displayed for dishonesty. Furthermore, a crucial lesson from the parable is the call to be prudent in managing our material and spiritual resources. It urges us to exercise wisdom in handling our finances, time, and talents. We should also be careful about the relationships we form and the choices we make. Let us ask God to help us be good stewards so we can use our resources wisely and generously to benefit ourselves and others.

Willibord (658-739), moine bénédictin de Ripon en Angleterre, puis de Rathmelsing en Irlande, fut envoyé en Frise (690) pour y porter l’évangile. Après avoir été sacré évêque par le pape Sergius 1er, il établit son siège à Utrecht et fonda plusieurs monastères, notamment celui d’Echternach où il mourut.
Antienne d’ouverture : Ps 37, 22-23
Ne m’abandonne pas, Seigneur, mon Dieu, ne reste pas loin de moi. Hâte-toi de venir à mon aide, toi, ma force et mon salut.
Prière d’ouverture
Dieu de puissance et de miséricorde, c’est ta grâce qui donne à tes fidèles de pouvoir dignement te servir. Accorde-nous de progresser sans que rien nous arrête vers les biens que tu promets. Par Jésus.
1ère lecture : Rm 15, 14-21
Moi-même, je suis convaincu, mes frères, que vous êtes pleins de bonnes qualités, remplis de toute connaissance de Dieu, et capables aussi de vous reprendre les uns les autres. Mais je vous ai écrit avec un peu d’audace, comme pour raviver votre mémoire sur certains points, et c’est en raison de la grâce que Dieu m’a donnée. Cette grâce, c’est d’être ministre du Christ Jésus pour les nations, avec la fonction sacrée d’annoncer l’Évangile : de Dieu, afin que l’offrande des nations soit acceptée par Dieu, sanctifiée dans l’Esprit Saint. Je mets donc ma fierté dans le Christ Jésus, pour ce qui est du service de Dieu. Car je n’oserais rien dire s’il ne s’agissait de ce que le Christ a mis en œuvre par moi afin d’amener les nations à l’obéissance de la foi, par la parole et l’action, la puissance des signes et des prodiges, la puissance de l’Esprit de Dieu. Ainsi, depuis Jérusalem en rayonnant jusqu’à la Dalmatie, j’ai mené à bien l’annonce de l’Évangile: du Christ. Je l’ai fait en mettant mon honneur à n’évangéliser que là où le nom du Christ n’avait pas encore été prononcé, car je ne voulais pas bâtir sur les fondations posées par un autre, mais j’ai agi selon qu’il est écrit: Ceux à qui on ne l’avait pas annoncé verront ; ceux qui n’en avaient pas entendu parler comprendront.
Psaume : 97 (98), 1, 2-3ab, 3cd-4
R/ La terre tout entière a vu le salut que Dieu nous donne. Ou : Alléluia !
Chantez au Seigneur un chant nouveau, car il a fait des merveilles; par son bras très saint, par sa main puissante, il s’est assuré la victoire.
Le Seigneur a fait connaître sa victoire et révélé sa justice aux nations ; il s’est rappelé sa fidélité, son amour, en faveur de la maison d’Israël.
La terre tout entière a vu la victoire de notre Dieu. Acclamez le Seigneur, terre entière, sonnez, chantez, jouez.

Évangile : Luc 16, 1-8
En ce temps-là, Jésus disait aux disciples : « Un homme riche avait un gérant qui lui fut dénoncé comme dilapidant ses biens. Il le convoqua et lui dit : “Qu’est-ce que j’apprends à ton sujet ? Rends-moi les comptes de ta gestion, car tu ne peux plus être mon gérant. Le gérant se dit en lui-même : “Que vais-je faire, puisque mon maître me retire la gestion? Travailler la terre ? Je n’en ai pas la force. Mendier ? J’aurais honte. Je sais ce que je vais faire, pour qu’une fois renvoyé de ma gérance, des gens m’accueillent chez eux.” Il fit alors venir, un par un, ceux qui avaient des dettes envers son maître. Il demanda au premier: “ Combien dois-tu à mon maître ? ” Il répondit : “ Cent barils d’huile. “ Le gérant lui dit : “Voici ton reçu; vite, assieds-toi et écris cinquante. Puis il demanda à un autre : “Et toi, combien dois-tu? ” Il répondit : “Cent sacs de blé.” Le gérant lui dit: “Voici ton reçu, écris 80.” Le maître fit l’éloge de ce gérant malhonnête car il avait agi avec habileté ; en effet, les fils de ce monde sont plus habiles entre eux que les fils de la lumière. »
