Luke 16
19 There was a certain rich man, who was clothed in purple and fine linen; and feasted sumptuously every day.
Homo quidam erat dives, qui induebatur purpura et bysso, et epulabatur quotidie splendide.
20 And there was a certain beggar, named Lazarus, who lay at his gate, full of sores,
Et erat quidam mendicus, nomine Lazarus, qui jacebat ad januam ejus, ulceribus plenus,
21 Desiring to be filled with the crumbs that fell from the rich man's table, and no one did give him; moreover the dogs came, and licked his sores.
cupiens saturari de micis quae cadebant de mensa divitis, et nemo illi dabat : sed et canes veniebant, et lingebant ulcera ejus.
22 And it came to pass, that the beggar died, and was carried by the angels into Abraham's bosom. And the rich man also died: and he was buried in hell.
Factum est autem ut moreretur mendicus, et portaretur ab angelis in sinum Abrahae. Mortuus est autem et dives, et sepultus est in inferno.
23 And lifting up his eyes when he was in torments, he saw Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom:
Elevans autem oculos suos, cum esset in tormentis, vidit Abraham a longe, et Lazarum in sinu ejus :
24 And he cried, and said: Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, to cool my tongue: for I am tormented in this flame.
et ipse clamans dixit : Pater Abraham, miserere mei, et mitte Lazarum ut intingat extremum digiti sui in aquam, ut refrigeret linguam meam, quia crucior in hac flamma.
25 And Abraham said to him: Son, remember that thou didst receive good things in thy lifetime, and likewise Lazarus evil things, but now he is comforted; and thou art tormented.
Et dixit illi Abraham : Fili, recordare quia recepisti bona in vita tua, et Lazarus similiter mala : nunc autem hic consolatur, tu vero cruciaris :
26 And besides all this, between us and you, there is fixed a great chaos: so that they who would pass from hence to you, cannot, nor from thence come hither.
et in his omnibus inter nos et vos chaos magnum firmatum est : ut hi qui volunt hinc transire ad vos, non possint, neque inde huc transmeare.
27 And he said: Then, father, I beseech thee, that thou wouldst send him to my father's house, for I have five brethren,
Et ait : Rogo ergo te, pater, ut mittas eum in domum patris mei :
28 That he may testify unto them, lest they also come into this place of torments.
habeo enim quinque fratres : ut testetur illis, ne et ipsi veniant in hunc locum tormentorum.
29 And Abraham said to him: They have Moses and the prophets; let them hear them.
Et ait illi Abraham : Habent Moysen et prophetas : audiant illos.
30 But he said: No, father Abraham: but if one went to them from the dead, they will do penance.
At ille dixit : Non, pater Abraham : sed si quis ex mortuis ierit ad eos, poenitentiam agent.
31 And he said to him: If they hear not Moses and the prophets, neither will they believe, if one rise again from the dead.
Ait autem illi : Si Moysen et prophetas non audiunt, neque si quis ex mortuis resurrexerit, credent.
The Reading from the Martyrology
This Day, the Twenty First Day of June
At Rome, St. Aloysius Gonzaga, of the Society of Jesus, most renowned for his contempt of the princely dignity, and the innocence of his life.
Also, at Rome, St. Demetria, virgin, who was crowned with martyrdom under Julian the Apostate.
At Syracuse, in Sicily, the birthday of the holy martyrs Rufinus and Martia.
In Africa, the holy martyrs Cyriacus and Apollinaris.
At Mainz, St. Alban, martyr, who was made worthy of the crown of life, after long labors and severe combats.
The same day, St. Eusebius, bishop of Samosata, who, in the time of the Arian emperor Constantius, disguised himself under a military dress and visited the churches of God, to confirm them in the faith. By Valens he was banished into Thrace, but when peace was restored to the Church in the reign of Theodosius, he was recalled. As he again visited the churches, an Arian woman struck him with a tile, which fractured his skull and made him a martyr.
At Iconium, in Lycaonia, St. Terentius, bishop and martyr.
At Pavia, St. Urciscenus, bishop and confessor.
At Tongres, St. Martin, bishop.
In the diocese of Evreux, St. Leutfrid, abbot.

Saturday is the Day dedicated to The Blessed Virgin and her Immaculate Heart.
Saturdays are, traditionally, the days Catholics go to Confession in preparation for receiving the Eucharist on Sundays (some Catholics might make a habit of going to Confession on Saturdays; other might go before Mass on Sunday, and, of course, as always, whenever needed). Also on Saturdays, many Catholics make what is called the "First Saturdays Devotion" which entails going to Mass and receiving Communion on the first Saturday of the month for 5 consecutive months in reparation to the Immaculate Heart of Mary. See Devotion to the Immaculate Heart of Mary.
The Glorious Mysteries of the Rosary are prayed on Saturday
"I would like to remind you that the Rosary is a biblical prayer, all filled with the Holy Scriptures." It is a prayer from the heart, in which the repetition of the Ave Maria directs the thought and affection towards Christ, and thus is made a confident prayer to Him and our Mother. It is a prayer that helps to meditate on the Word of God and assimilate the Eucharistic Communion, on the model of Mary who kept in her heart everything Jesus did and said and even His Presence. " Pope Benedict XVI

FXVII QUOT PSALMI PER EASDEM HORAS CANENDI SUNT
1 Iam de nocturnis vel matutinis digessimus ordinem psalmodiae; nunc de sequentibus horis videamus.
2 Prima hora dicantur psalmi tres singillatim et non sub una gloria,
3 hymnum eiusdem horae post versum Deus in adiutorium antequam psalmi incipiantur.
4 Post expletionem vero trium psalmorum recitetur lectio una, versu et Kyrie eleison et missas.
5 Tertia vero, sexta et nona, item eo ordine celebretur oratio, id est versu, hymnos earundem horarum, ternos psalmos, lectionem et versu, Kyrie eleison et missas.
6 Si maior congregatio fuerit, cum antiphonas, si vero minor, in directum psallantur.
7 Vespertina autem synaxis quattuor psalmis cum antiphonis terminetur.
8 Post quibus psalmis, lectio recitanda est; inde responsorium, ambrosianum, versu, canticum de Evangelia, litania, et oratione dominica fiant missae.
9 Completorios autem trium psalmorum dictione terminentur. Qui psalmi directanei sine antiphona dicendi sunt.
10 Post quos hymnum eiusdem horae, lectionem unam, versu, Kyrie eleison, et benedictione missae fiant.
CHAPTER 17: HOW MANY PSALMS ARE TO BE SUNG AT THESE HOURS
1 We have already dealt with the order of psalmody for Vigils and Lauds. Let us now see to the remaining hours.
2 At Prime three psalms are to be sung, separately and not with one “Glory be”.
3 The hymn at this hour is to follow the opening versicle, O God, come to my assistance (Ps 70:2), before the psalms are begun.
4 Then, after the three psalms are completed, one lesson is to be recited with a versicle, the “Lord, have mercy”, and the dismissal.
5 At Terce, Sext, and None prayer is celebrated the same way: that is, the verse, the hymn proper to each hour, three psalms, the lesson and versicle, the “Lord, have mercy” and the dismissal.
6 If the community is rather large, the psalms are to be sung with refrains; if smaller, the psalms are sung straight through.
7 The office of Vespers is limited to four psalms with refrains.
8 After these psalms a lesson is to be recited; then the responsory, the Ambrosian hymn and versicle, the canticle from the Gospel, the litany, and, the Lord’s Prayer before the dismissal.
9 Compline is limited to the recitation of three psalms, to be said straight through without refrains.
10 Then follows the hymn for that hour, one lesson, the versicle, the “Lord, have mercy”, the blessing, and the dismissal.
