Gospel 2-14-24. Matt 6:16-21. Ash Wednesday.

⁣And when you fast, be not as the hypocrites, sad. For they disfigure their faces, that they may appear unto men to fast. Amen I say to you, they have received their reward.
Cum autem jejunatis, nolite fieri sicut hypocritae, tristes. Exterminant enim facies suas, ut appareant hominibus jejunantes. Amen dico vobis, quia receperunt mercedem suam.
⁠ 17 ⁠But thou, when thou fastest anoint thy head, and wash thy face;
Tu autem, cum jejunas, unge caput tuum, et faciem tuam lava,
⁠ 18 ⁠That thou appear not to men to fast, but to thy Father who is in secret: and thy Father who seeth in secret, will repay thee.
ne videaris hominibus jejunans, sed Patri tuo, qui est in abscondito : et Pater tuus, qui videt in abscondito, reddet tibi.
⁠ 19 ⁠Lay not up to yourselves treasures on earth: where the rust, and moth consume, and where thieves break through and steal.
Nolite thesaurizare vobis thesauros in terra : ubi aerugo, et tinea demolitur : et ubi fures effodiunt, et furantur.
⁠ 20 ⁠But lay up to yourselves treasures in heaven: where neither the rust nor moth doth consume, and where thieves do not break through, nor steal.
Thesaurizate autem vobis thesauros in caelo, ubi neque aerugo, neque tinea demolitur, et ubi fures non effodiunt, nec furantur.
⁠ 21 ⁠For where thy treasure is, there is thy heart also.
Ubi enim est thesaurus tuus, ibi est et cor tuum.
