The 21st of November, 2022, Monday is the Memorial of The Presentation of the Blessed Virgin Mary. The Bible scriptures for the holy mass readings for this day came from the 2022 Liturgical Calendar.
Reading 1: RV 14:1-3, 4B-5
The first reading from the Book of Revelation.
I saw, and behold, the Lamb standing on Mount Zion, and with him a number, one hundred forty-four thousand, having his name and the name of his Father written on their foreheads.
I heard a sound from heaven like the sound of many waters and like the sound of a great thunder. The sound which I heard was like that of harpists playing on their harps.
They sing a new song before the throne and before the four living creatures and the elders. No one could learn the song except the one hundred forty-four thousand, those who had been redeemed out of the earth.
These are those who follow the Lamb wherever he goes. These were redeemed by Jesus from among men, the first fruits to God and to the Lamb.
In their mouth was found no lie, for they are blameless.
Responsorial Psalm: PS 24:1-2, 3-4AB, 5-6
Response: This is the generation of those who seek Him, who seek your face-even Jacob.
The earth is Yahweh’s, with its fullness; the world, and those who dwell in it.
For he has founded it on the seas, and established it on the floods.
R: This is the generation of those who seek Him, who seek your face-even Jacob.
Who may ascend to Yahweh’s hill? Who may stand in his holy place?
He who has clean hands and a pure heart; who has not lifted up his soul to falsehood.
R: This is the generation of those who seek Him, who seek your face-even Jacob.
He shall receive a blessing from Yahweh, righteousness from the God of his salvation.
This is the generation of those who seek Him, who seek your face-even Jacob.
R: This is the generation of those who seek Him, who seek your face-even Jacob.
Gospel of the Day LK 21:1-4
From the gospel verse according to Luke.
He looked up and saw the rich people who were putting their gifts into the treasury.
He saw a certain poor widow casting in two small brass coins.
He said, “Truly I tell you, this poor widow put in more than all of them, for all these put in gifts for God from their abundance, but she, out of her poverty, put in all that she had to live on.”
