1. Première lecture 1 Maccabées 2:15-29

   ¹⁵And the king’s officers who were enforcing the apostasy came into the city Modin to sacrifice. ¹⁶Many of Israel came to them, and Mattathias and his sons were gathered together. ¹⁷The king’s officers answered and spoke to Mattathias, saying, “You are a ruler and an honorable and great man in this city, and strengthened with sons and kindred. ¹⁸Now therefore come first and do the commandment of the king, as all the nations have done, including the men of Judah and those who remain in Jerusalem. You and your house will be numbered among the king’s friends, and you and your sons will be honored with silver and gold and many gifts.” ¹⁹And Mattathias answered and said with a loud voice, “If all the nations that are in the house of the king’s dominion listen to him, to fall away each one from the worship of his fathers, and have chosen to follow his commandments, ²⁰yet I and my sons and my kindred will walk in the covenant of our fathers. ²¹Far be it from us that we should forsake the law and the ordinances. ²²We will not listen to the king’s words, to turn aside from our worship, to the right hand, or to the left.” ²³When he had finished speaking these words, a Jew came in the sight of all to sacrifice on the altar which was at Modin, according to the king’s commandment. ²⁴Mattathias saw it, so his zeal was kindled, and his guts trembled, and he vented his wrath according to judgment, and ran and killed him upon the altar. ²⁵He killed the king’s officer, who compelled men to sacrifice, at the same time, and pulled down the altar. ²⁶He was zealous for the law, even as Phinehas did to Zimri the son of Salu. ²⁷Mattathias cried out in the city with a loud voice, saying, “Whoever is zealous for the law and maintains the covenant, let him follow me!” ²⁸He and his sons fled into the mountains, and left all that they had in the city. ²⁹Then many who sought justice and judgment went down into the wilderness to live there—

2. Psaume Psaumes 50:1-2, 5-6, 14-15

   ¹Psaume d’Asaph. Dieu, Dieu, l’Éternel, parle, et convoque la terre, Depuis le soleil levant jusqu’au soleil couchant. ²De Sion, beauté parfaite, Dieu resplendit. ⁵Rassemblez-moi mes fidèles, Qui ont fait alliance avec moi par le sacrifice! ⁶Et les cieux publieront sa justice, Car c’est Dieu qui est juge. — Pause. ¹⁴Offre pour sacrifice à Dieu des actions de grâces, Et accomplis tes vœux envers le Très-Haut. ¹⁵Et invoque-moi au jour de la détresse; Je te délivrerai, et tu me glorifieras.

4. Évangile Luc 19:41-44

   ⁴¹Comme il approchait de la ville, Jésus, en la voyant, pleura sur elle, et dit: ⁴²Si toi aussi, au moins en ce jour qui t’est donné, tu connaissais les choses qui appartiennent à ta paix! Mais maintenant elles sont cachées à tes yeux. ⁴³Il viendra sur toi des jours où tes ennemis t’environneront de tranchées, t’enfermeront, et te serreront de toutes parts; ⁴⁴ils te détruiront, toi et tes enfants au milieu de toi, et ils ne laisseront pas en toi pierre sur pierre, parce que tu n’as pas connu le temps où tu as été visitée.
