Chinses New Year Note: Homilies & Angelus / Regina Caeli of Pope Saint John Paul II, Pope Benedict XVI & Pope Francis I had been compiled for you after the Mass Readings below. Happy Reading! Liturgical Colour: Red.
Readings at Mass (Reference)
1st Readings: Numbers 6:22-27 Commentary: Numbers 6:22-27 from Rev. George Leo Haydock. The LORD said to Moses: “Speak to Aaron and his sons and tell them: This is how you shall bless the Israelites. Say to them: The LORD bless you and keep you! The LORD let his face shine upon you, and be gracious to you! The LORD look upon you kindly and give you peace! So shall they invoke my name upon the Israelites, and I will bless them.”
Responsorial: Partly taken from Psalm 104 Commentary: Psalm 104 from Saint Augustine. Commentary: Psalm 103(104) from Saint Robert Bellarmine. Response: Lord, our God, renew the face of the earth.
30 Lord, with one breath, all creation took its form and you renew the face of the earth.
Grant us a renewed heart and let your spirit fill our whole being.
You have set the bright day from dark night, you have separated the days from the nights. You have marked the limits of the earth and set the four seasons of each year.
May the Lord grant us abundant blessings with the produce of the earth, and may the four corners of the earth adore God.
2nd Readings: James 4:13-15 Commentary: No commentary found with the Church Fathers. See this Article from the New Advent. Come now, you who say, "Today or tomorrow we shall go into such and such a town, spend a year there doing business, and make a profit"-- you have no idea what your life will be like tomorrow. You are a puff of smoke that appears briefly and then disappears. Instead you should say, "If the Lord wills it, we shall live to do this or that."
Gospel Acclamation Alleluia Or:
Gospel: Matthew 6:31-34 Commentary: Matthew 6:31-34 from CATENA AUREA BY SAINT THOMAS AQUINAS. So do not worry and say, 'What are we to eat?' or 'What are we to drink?' or 'What are we to wear?' All these things the pagans seek. Your heavenly Father knows that you need them all. But seek first the kingdom (of God) and His righteousness, and all these things will be given you besides. Do not worry about tomorrow; tomorrow will take care of itself. Sufficient for a day is its own evil.
