1. Première lecture Tobie 12:1, 5-15, 20

   ¹And Tobit called his son Tobias, and said to him, “See, my child, that the man which went with you have his wages, and you must give him more.” ⁵And he called the angel, and said to him, “Take half of all that you have brought.” ⁶Then he called them both privately, and said to them, “Bless God, and give him thanks, and magnify him, and give him thanks in the sight of all that live, for the things which he has done with you. It is good to bless God and exalt his name, showing forth with honor the works of God. Don’t be slack to give him thanks. ⁷It is good to conceal the secret of a king, but to reveal gloriously the works of God. Do good, and evil won’t find you. ⁸Good is prayer with fasting, alms, and righteousness. A little with righteousness is better than much with unrighteousness. It is better to give alms than to lay up gold. ⁹Alms delivers from death, and it purges away all sin. Those who give alms and do righteousness will be filled with life; ¹⁰but those who sin are enemies to their own life. ¹¹Surely I will conceal nothing from you. I have said, ‘It is good to conceal the secret of a king, but to reveal gloriously the works of God.’ ¹²And now, when you prayed, and Sarah your daughter-in-law, I brought the memorial of your prayer before the Holy One. When you buried the dead, I was with you likewise. ¹³And when you didn’t delay to rise up, and leave your dinner, that you might go and cover the dead, your good deed was not hidden from me. I was with you. ¹⁴And now God sent me to heal you and Sarah your daughter-in-law. ¹⁵I am Raphael, one of the seven holy angels which present the prayers of the saints and go in before the glory of the Holy One.” ²⁰Now give God thanks, because I ascend to him who sent me. Write in a book all the things which have been done.”

2. Psaume Tobie 13:2, 6, 7, 8

   ²For he scourges, and shows mercy. He leads down to the grave, and brings up again. There is no one who will escape his hand. ⁶If you turn to him with your whole heart and with your whole soul, to do truth before him, then he will turn to you, and won’t hide his face from you. See what he will do with you. Give him thanks with your whole mouth. Bless the Lord of righteousness. Exalt the everlasting King. I give him thanks in the land of my captivity, and show his strength and majesty to a nation of sinners. Turn, you sinners, and do righteousness before him. Who can tell if he will accept you and have mercy on you? ⁷I exalt my God. My soul exalts the King of heaven, and rejoices in his greatness. ⁸Let all men speak, and let them give him thanks in Jerusalem.

3. Acclamation de l'Évangile Matthieu 5:3

4. Évangile Marc 12:38-44

   ³⁸Il leur disait dans son enseignement: Gardez-vous des scribes, qui aiment à se promener en robes longues, et à être salués dans les places publiques; ³⁹qui recherchent les premiers sièges dans les synagogues, et les premières places dans les festins; ⁴⁰qui dévorent les maisons des veuves, et qui font pour l’apparence de longues prières. Ils seront jugés plus sévèrement. ⁴¹Jésus, s’étant assis vis-à-vis du tronc, regardait comment la foule y mettait de l’argent. Plusieurs riches mettaient beaucoup. ⁴²Il vint aussi une pauvre veuve, elle y mit deux petites pièces, faisant un quart de sou. ⁴³Alors Jésus, ayant appelé ses disciples, leur dit: Je vous le dis en vérité, cette pauvre veuve a donné plus qu’aucun de ceux qui ont mis dans le tronc; ⁴⁴car tous ont mis de leur superflu, mais elle a mis de son nécessaire, tout ce qu’elle possédait, tout ce qu’elle avait pour vivre.
