Prima lettura

Tobit 12:1, 5-15, 20

And Tobit called his son Tobias, and said to him, "See, my child, that the man which went with you have his wages, and you must give him more." And he called the angel, and said to him, "Take half of all that you have brought." Then he called them both privately, and said to them, "Bless God, and give him thanks, and magnify him, and give him thanks in the sight of all that live, for the things which he has done with you. It is good to bless God and exalt his name, showing forth with honor the works of God. Don't be slack to give him thanks. It is good to conceal the secret of a king, but to reveal gloriously the works of God. Do good, and evil won't find you. Good is prayer with fasting, alms, and righteousness. A little with righteousness is better than much with unrighteousness. It is better to give alms than to lay up gold. Alms delivers from death, and it purges away all sin. Those who give alms and do righteousness will be filled with life; but those who sin are enemies to their own life. Surely I will conceal nothing from you. I have said, 'It is good to conceal the secret of a king, but to reveal gloriously the works of God.' And now, when you prayed, and Sarah your daughter-in-law, I brought the memorial of your prayer before the Holy One. When you buried the dead, I was with you likewise. And when you didn't delay to rise up, and leave your dinner, that you might go and cover the dead, your good deed was not hidden from me. I was with you. And now God sent me to heal you and Sarah your daughter-in-law. I am Raphael, one of the seven holy angels which present the prayers of the saints and go in before the glory of the Holy One." Now give God thanks, because I ascend to him who sent me. Write in a book all the things which have been done."

Salmo responsoriale

Tobit 13:2, 6efgh, 7, 8

For he scourges, and shows mercy. He leads down to the grave, and brings up again. There is no one who will escape his hand. If you turn to him with your whole heart and with your whole soul, to do truth before him, then he will turn to you, and won't hide his face from you. See what he will do with you. Give him thanks with your whole mouth. Bless the Lord of righteousness. Exalt the everlasting King. I give him thanks in the land of my captivity, and show his strength and majesty to a nation of sinners. Turn, you sinners, and do righteousness before him. Who can tell if he will accept you and have mercy on you? I exalt my God. My soul exalts the King of heaven, and rejoices in his greatness. Let all men speak, and let them give him thanks in Jerusalem.

Vangelo

Mark 12:38-44

ED egli diceva loro nella sua dottrina: Guardatevi dagli Scribi, i quali amano di passeggiare in robe lunghe, e le salutazioni nelle piazze, ed i primi seggi nelle raunanze, ed i primi luoghi ne' conviti. I quali divorano le case delle vedove, e ciò, sotto specie di lunghe orazioni; essi ne riceveranno maggior condannazione. E GESÙ, postosi a sedere di rincontro alla cassa delle offerte, riguardava come il popolo gettava denari nella cassa; e molti ricchi vi gettavano assai. Ed una povera vedova venne, e vi gettò due piccioli, che sono un quattrino. E Gesù, chiamati a sè i suoi discepoli, disse loro: Io vi dico in verità, che questa povera vedova ha gettato più di tutti quanti hanno gettato nella cassa delle offerte. Poichè tutti gli altri vi hanno gettato di ciò che soprabbonda loro; ma essa, della sua inopia, vi ha gettato tutto ciò ch'ella avea, tutta la sua sostanza.
