following the Second Sunday after Pentecost
Memorial
The Gospel for this memorial is proper.
The first reading is either from the Common of the Blessed Virgin Mary, or:
Isaiah 61:9-11 - the thoughts of Mary
I rejoice heartily in the Lord, in my God is the joy of my
soul,
for he has clothed me with a robe
of salvation, and wrapped me in a mantle of justice,
Like a bridegroom adorned with a diadem, like a bride
bedecked with her jewels.
Luke 2:41-51 - the Child Jesus is lost in the Temple
Mary’s
astonishment
“Son, why have you done this to us?
Your father and I have been looking
for you with great anxiety.”
Her
Son’s astonishment
“Why
were you looking for me? Did you not
know that I must be in my Father’s house?”
