Blessed Virgin Mary, Mother of the Church
Memorial — "Behold, your Mother"
First Reading
9And the Lord God called Adam, and said to him: Where art thou?
10And he said: I heard thy voice in paradise; and I was afraid, because I was naked, and I hid myself.
11And he said to him: And who hath told thee that thou wast naked, but that thou hast eaten of the tree whereof I commanded thee that thou shouldst not eat?
12And Adam said: The woman, whom thou gavest me to be my companion, gave me of the tree, and I did eat.
13And the Lord God said to the woman: Why hast thou done this? And she answered: The serpent deceived me, and I did eat.
14And the Lord God said to the serpent: Because thou hast done this thing, thou art cursed among all cattle, and beasts of the earth: upon thy breast shalt thou go, and earth shalt thou eat all the days of thy life.
15I will put enmities between thee and the woman, and thy seed and her seed: she shall crush thy head, and thou shalt lie in wait for her heel.
20And Adam called the name of his wife Eve: because she was the mother of all the living.
Responsorial Psalm
1For the sons of Core, a psalm of a canticle. The foundations thereof are in the holy mountains:
2The Lord loveth the gates of Sion above all the tabernacles of Jacob.
3Glorious things are said of thee, O city of God.
4I will be mindful of Rahab and of Babylon knowing me. Behold the foreigners, and Tyre, and the people of the Ethiopians, these were there.
5Shall not Sion say: This man and that man is born in her? and the Highest himself hath founded her.
6The Lord shall tell in his writings of peoples and of princes, of them that have been in her.
7The dwelling in thee is as it were of all rejoicing.
Gospel
25Now there stood by the cross of Jesus, his mother, and his mother’s sister, Mary of Cleophas, and Mary Magdalen.
26When Jesus therefore had seen his mother and the disciple standing whom he loved, he saith to his mother: Woman, behold thy son.
27After that, he saith to the disciple: Behold thy mother. And from that hour, the disciple took her to his own.
28Afterwards, Jesus knowing that all things were now accomplished, that the scripture might be fulfilled, said: I thirst.
29Now there was a vessel set there full of vinegar. And they, putting a sponge full of vinegar and hyssop, put it to his mouth.
30Jesus therefore, when he had taken the vinegar, said: It is consummated. And bowing his head, he gave up the ghost.
31Then the Jews, (because it was the parasceve,) that the bodies might not remain on the cross on the sabbath day, (for that was a great sabbath day,) besought Pilate that their legs might be broken, and that they might be taken away.
32The soldiers therefore came; and they broke the legs of the first, and of the other that was crucified with him.
33But after they were come to Jesus, when they saw that he was already dead, they did not break his legs.
34But one of the soldiers with a spear opened his side, and immediately there came out blood and water.
