Léctio Epístolæ primæ beáti Pauli apóstoli ad Corínthios
(1,26-31)
Vidéte vocatiónem vestram, fratres; 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, quæ non sunt, ut ea, quæ sunt, destrúeret, ut non gloriétur omnis caro in conspéctu Dei. Ex ipso autem vos estis in Christo Iésu, qui factus est sapiéntia nobis a Deo et iustítia et sanctificátio et redémptio, ut quemádmodum scriptum est: “Qui gloriátur, in Dómino gloriétur.”
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.

Léctio libri primi Regum (3,4-13)
In diébus illis :Ábiit Sálomon in Gábaon, ut immoláret ibi: illud quippe erat excélsum máximum: mille hóstias in holocáustum óbtulit Sálomon super altáre illud in Gábaon.Appáruit autem Dóminus Salomóni per sómnium nocte, dicens: Póstula quod vis ut dem tibi.Et ait Sálomon: Tu fecísti cum servo tuo David patre meo misericórdiam magnam, sicut ambulávit in conspéctu tuo in veritáte et justítia, et recto corde tecum: custodísti ei misericórdiam tuam grandem, et dedísti ei fílium sedéntem super thronum ejus, sicut est hódie.Et nunc Dómine Deus, tu regnáre fecísti servum tuum pro David patre meo: ego autem sum puer párvulus, et ignórans egréssum et intróitum meum. Et servus tuus in médio est pópuli quem elegísti, pópuli infiníti, qui numerári et supputári non potest pr� multitúdine. Dabis ergo servo tuo cor dócile, ut pópulum tuum judicáre possit, et discérnere inter bonum et malum. Quis enim póterit judicáre pópulum istum, pópulum tuum hunc multum? Plácuit ergo sermo coram Dómino, quod Sálomon postulásset hujuscémodi rem. Et dixit Dóminus Salomóni: Quia postulásti verbum hoc, et non petísti tibi dies multos, nec divítias, aut ánimas inimicórum tuórum, sed postulásti tibi sapiéntiam ad discernéndum judícium: ecce feci tibi secúndum sermónes tuos, et dedi tibi cor sápiens et intélligens, in tantum ut nullus ante te símilis tui fúerit, nec post te surrectúrus sit. Sed et hæc quæ non postulásti, dedi tibi: divítias scílicet, et glóriam, ut nemo fúerit símilis tui in régibus cunctis retro diébus.
