Léctio sancti Evangélii secúndum Matthǽum (7,21-27)
In illo tempore: Dixit Iesus discipulis suis: Non omnis, qui dicit mihi: ‘Dómine, Dómine’, intrábit in regnum cælórum, sed qui facit voluntátem Patris mei, qui in cælis est. Multi dicent mihi in illa die: ‘Dómine, Dómine, nonne in tuo nómine prophetávimus, et in tuo nómine dæmónia eiécimus, et in tuo nómine virtútes multas fécimus?’ Et tunc confitébor illis: Numquam novi vos; discédite a me, qui operámini iniquitátem. Omnis ergo, qui audit verba mea hæc et facit ea, assimilábitur viro sapiénti, qui ædificávit domum suam supra petram. Et descéndit plúvia, et venérunt flúmina, et flavérunt venti et irruérunt in domum illam, et non cécidit; fundáta enim erat supra petram. Et omnis, qui audit verba mea hæc et non facit ea, símilis erit viro stulto, qui ædificávit domum suam supra arénam. Et descéndit plúvia, et venérunt flúmina, et flavérunt venti et irruérunt in domum illam, et cécidit, et fuit ruína eíus magna.”
Not every one that saith to me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven: but he that doth the will of my Father who is in heaven, he shall enter into the kingdom of heaven. Many will say to me in that day: Lord, Lord, have not we prophesied in thy name, and cast out devils in thy name, and done many miracles in thy name? And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, you that work iniquity. Every one therefore that heareth these my words, and doth them, shall be likened to a wise man that built his house upon a rock, And the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and they beat upon that house, and it fell not, for it was founded on a rock. And every one that heareth these my words, and doth them not, shall be like a foolish man that built his house upon the sand, And the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and they beat upon that house, and it fell, and great was the fall thereof.
