16 And Moses did all that the Lord had commanded.
17 So
in the first month of the second year, the first day of the month, the
tabernacle was set up.
18 And
Moses reared it up, and placed the boards and the sockets and the bars, and set
up the pillars,
19
And spread the roof over the tabernacle, putting over it a cover, as the Lord
had commanded.
20 And
he put the testimony in the ark, thrusting bars underneath, and the oracle
above.
21 And
when he had brought the ark into the tabernacle, he drew the veil before it to
fulfill the commandment of th
34 The
cloud covered the tabernacle of the testimony, and the glory of the Lord filled
it.
35 Neither
could Moses go into the tabernacle of the covenant, the cloud covering all
things and the majesty of the
36 If
at any time the cloud removed from the tabernacle, the children of Israel went
forward by their troops:

the sight of all the children

84: 3, 4, 5-6a and 8a, 11
R. (2) How lovely is your dwelling place, O Lord, mighty God!
3 My
soul longeth and fainteth for the courts of the Lord. My heart and my flesh
have rejoiced in the living God.
R. How
lovely is your dwelling place, O Lord, mighty God!
4 For
the sparrow hath found herself a house, and the turtle a nest for herself where
she may lay her young ones: Thy altars, O Lord of hosts, my king and my God.

5 Blessed
are they that dwell in thy house, O Lord: they shall praise thee for ever and
ever.

Blessed is the man whose help is from thee.
8a They
shall go from virtue to virtue.
R. How
lovely is your dwelling place, O Lord, mighty God!
11 For
better is one day in thy courts above thousands. I have chosen to be an abject
in the house of my God, rather than to dwell in the tabernacles of sinners.
R. How
lovely is your dwelling place, O Lord, mighty God!

our hearts, O Lord, to listen to the words of your Son.
R.

Gospel: Matthew
13: 47-53
47 Again the kingdom of heaven is like to a net cast into the sea, and
gathering together of all kind of fishes.
48 Which,
when it was filled, they drew out, and sitting by the shore, they chose out the
good into vessels, but the bad they cast forth.
49 So
shall it be at the end of the world. The angels shall go out, and shall
separate the wicked from among the just.
50 And
shall cast them into the furnace of fire: there shall be weeping and gnashing
of teeth.
51 Have
ye understood all these things? They say to him: Yes.
52 He
said unto them: Therefore every scribe instructed in the kingdom of heaven, is
like to a man that is a householder, who bringeth forth out of his treasure new
things and old.
53 And
it came to pass: when Jesus had finished these parables, he passed from thence.
