Léctio Epístolæ beáti Pauli Apóstoli ad Corinthios
1 Cor 1:26-31
Fratres: Vidéte vocatiónem vestram: quia non multi sapiéntes secúndum carnem, non multi poténtes, non multi nóbiles: sed quæ stulta sunt mundi elégit Deus, ut confúndat sapiéntes: et infírma mundi elégit Deus, ut confúndat fórtia: et ignobília mundi et contemptibília elégit Deus, et ea quæ non sunt, ut ea quæ sunt destrúeret: ut non gloriétur omnis caro in conspéctu ejus. Ex ipso autem vos estis in Christo Jesu, qui factus est nobis sapiéntia a Deo, et justítia, et sanctificátio, et redémptio: ut, quemádmodum scriptum est: Qui gloriátur, in Dómino gloriétur.
1 Corinthians 1:26-31 · Douay-Rheims
For see your vocation, brethren, that there are not many wise according to the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble. But the foolish things of the world hath God chosen, that he may confound the wise: and the weak things of the world hath God chosen, that he may confound the strong. And the base things of the world and the things that are contemptible, hath God chosen: and things that are not, that he might bring to nought things that are: That no flesh should glory in his sight. But of him are you in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom and justice and sanctification and redemption: That, as it is written: He that glorieth may glory in the Lord.

Sequéntia ☩ sancti Evangélii secúndum Matthǽum
Matt 19:3-12
In illo témpore: Accessérunt ad Jesum pharisǽi, tentántes eum et dicéntes: Si licet hómini dimíttere uxórem suam quacúmque ex causa? Qui respóndens, ait eis: Non legístis, quia, qui fecit hóminem ab inítio, másculum et féminam fecit eos? et dixit: Propter hoc dimíttet homo patrem, et matrem, et adhærébit uxóri suæ, et erunt duo in carne una. Itaque jam non sunt duo, sed una caro. Quod ergo Deus conjúnxit, homo non séparet. Dicunt illi: Quid ergo Móyses mandávit dare libéllum repúdii, et dimíttere? Ait illis: Quóniam Móyses ad durítiam cordis vestri permísit vobis dimíttere uxóres vestras: ab inítio autem non fuit sic. Dico autem vobis, quia, quicúmque dimíserit uxórem suam, nisi ob fornicatiónem, et áliam dúxerit, mœchátur: et qui dimíssam dúxerit, mœchátur. Dicunt ei discípuli ejus: Si ita est causa hóminis cum uxóre, non expédit núbere. Qui dixit illis: Non omnes cápiunt verbum istud, sed quibus datum est. Sunt enim eunúchi, qui de matris útero sic nati sunt; et sunt eunúchi, qui facti sunt ab homínibus; et sunt eunúchi, qui seípsos castravérunt propter regnum cœlórum. Qui potest cápere, cápiat.
Matthew 19:3-12 · Douay-Rheims
And there came to him the Pharisees tempting him, saying: Is it lawful for a man to put away his wife for every cause? Who answering, said to them: Have ye not read, that he who made man from the beginning, made them male and female? And he said: For this cause shall a man leave father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife, and they two shall be in one flesh. Therefore now they are not two, but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined together, let no man put asunder. They say to him: Why then did Moses command to give a bill of divorce, and to put away? He saith to them: Because Moses by reason of the hardness of your heart permitted you to put away your wives: but from the beginning it was not so. And I say to you, that whosoever shall put away his wife, except it be for fornication, and shall marry another, committeth adultery: and he that shall marry her that is put away, committeth adultery. His disciples say unto him: If the case of a man with his wife be so, it is not expedient to marry. Who said to them: All men take not this word, but they to whom it is given. For there are eunuchs, who were born so from their mother’s womb: and there are eunuchs, who were made so by men: and there are eunuchs, who have made themselves eunuchs for the kingdom of heaven. He that can take, let him take it.
