Liturgical Colour: Violet. Year: A(II).

First reading: Isaiah 50:4-9a

‘I hid not my face from disgrace.’

The Lord God has given me
the tongue of those who are taught,
that I may know how to sustain with a word him who is weary.
Morning by morning he awakens;
he awakens my ear
to hear as those who are taught.
The Lord God has opened my ear,
and I was not rebellious;
I turned not backwards.
I gave my back to those who strike,
and my cheeks to those who pull out the beard;
I hid not my face from disgrace and spitting.
But the Lord God helps me;
therefore I have not been disgraced;
therefore I have set my face like a flint,
and I know that I shall not be put to shame.
He who vindicates me is near.
Who will contend with me?
Let us stand up together.
Who is my adversary?
Let him come near to me.
Behold, the Lord God helps me;
who will declare me guilty?

Responsorial Psalm: Ps 69(68):8-10. 21b-d-22. 31, 33-34. ℟14c, b

In your great mercy, O God, answer me at an acceptable time.
It is for you that I suffer taunts,
that shame has covered my face.
To my own kin I have become an outcast,
a stranger to the children of my mother.
Zeal for your house consumes me,
and taunts against you fall on me.
In your great mercy, O God, answer me at an acceptable time.
Taunts have broken my heart;
here I am in anguish.
I looked for solace, but there was none;
for consolers — not one could I find.
For food they gave me gall;
in my thirst they gave me vinegar to drink.
In your great mercy, O God, answer me at an acceptable time.
Then I will praise God’s name with a song;
I will glorify him with thanksgiving.
The poor when they see it will be glad,
and God-seeking hearts will revive;
for the Lord attends to the needy,
and does not spurn his own in their chains.
In your great mercy, O God, answer me at an acceptable time.

Gospel Acclamation:

Praise to you, O Christ, King of eternal glory.
Hail, our King!
You alone have shown compassion on our faults.
Praise to you, O Christ, King of eternal glory.

Gospel: Matthew 26:14-25

‘The Son of Man goes as it is written of him, but woe to him by whom he is betrayed.’

At that time: One of the Twelve, whose name was Judas Iscariot, went to the chief priests and said, ‘What will you give me if I deliver him over to you?’ And they paid him thirty pieces of silver. And from that moment he sought an opportunity to betray Jesus.
  Now on the first day of Unleavened Bread the disciples came to Jesus, saying, ‘Where would you have us prepare for you to eat the Passover?’ He said, ‘Go into the city to a certain man and say to him, “The Teacher says, My time is at hand. I will keep the Passover at your house with my disciples.” ’ And the disciples did as Jesus had directed them, and they prepared the Passover.
  When it was evening, he reclined at table with the Twelve. And as they were eating, he said, ‘Truly, I say to you, one of you will betray me.’ And they were very sorrowful and began to say to him one after another, ‘Not I, Lord?’ He answered, ‘He who has dipped his hand in the dish with me will betray me. The Son of Man goes as it is written of him, but woe to that man by whom the Son of Man is betrayed! It would have been better for that man if he had not been born.’ Judas, who would betray him, answered, ‘Not I, Rabbi?’ He said to him, ‘You have said so.’
