Mass Readings for The 23rd Sunday in Ordinary Time
First Reading Ezekiel 33:7-9
Thus says the LORD: You, son of man, I have appointed watchman for the house of Israel; when you hear me say anything, you shall warn them for me. If I tell the wicked, “O wicked one, you shall surely die, ” and you do not speak out to dissuade the wicked from his way, the wicked shall die for his guilt, but I will hold you responsible for his death. But if you warn the wicked, trying to turn him from his way, and he refuses to turn from his way, he shall die for his guilt, but you shall save yourself.
Responsorial Psalm Psalm 95:1-2, 6-7, 8-9 R. (8) If today you hear his voice, harden not your hearts. Come, let us sing joyfully to the LORD; let us acclaim the rock of our salvation. Let us come into his presence with thanksgiving; let us joyfully sing psalms to him. R. If today you hear his voice, harden not your hearts. Come, let us bow down in worship; let us kneel before the LORD who made us. For he is our God, and we are the people he shepherds, the flock he guides. R. If today you hear his voice, harden not your hearts. Oh, that today you would hear his voice: “Harden not your hearts as at Meribah, as in the day of Massah in the desert, Where your fathers tempted me; they tested me though they had seen my works.” R. If today you hear his voice, harden not your hearts.
Second Reading Romans 13:8-10
Brothers and sisters: Owe nothing to anyone, except to love one another; for the one who loves another has fulfilled the law. The commandments, “You shall not commit adultery; you shall not kill; you shall not steal; you shall not covet, ” and whatever other commandment there may be, are summed up in this saying, namely, “You shall love your neighbor as yourself.” Love does no evil to the neighbor; hence, love is the fulfillment of the law.
Gospel Matthew 18:15-20
Jesus said to his disciples: “If your brother sins against you, go and tell him his fault between you and him alone. If he listens to you, you have won over your brother. If he does not listen, take one or two others along with you, so that ‘every fact may be established on the testimony of two or three witnesses.’ If he refuses to listen to them, tell the church. If he refuses to listen even to the church, then treat him as you would a Gentile or a tax collector. Amen, I say to you, whatever you bind on earth shall be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven. Again, amen, I say to you, if two of you agree on earth about anything for which they are to pray, it shall be granted to them by my heavenly Father. For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them.”

“The Leonine Prayers” (from Aletia.com)
In 1859, Pope Pius IX, instituted various prayers to be said after Mass, including three Hail Marys and the prayer “Hail Holy Queen.” Initially this was reserved to Italy, as the Papal States were under attack by revolutionary leaders.
By 1870 Rome fell and Pope Pius IX became a “prisoner” in the Vatican, no longer having any temporal land. Thus began many years of tension in Rome, with the pope essentially under self-imposed “house arrest.”
Then in 1884 Pope Leo XIII decreed that these prayers be said by all Catholics after Mass, for the intention of protecting the Church in this crisis, with the hope of an adequate resolution. Two years later in 1886, Pope Leo XIII added the St. Michael Prayer to these prayers recited after Mass. According to various reports, this was in response to a frightening vision Pope Leo had of “demonic spirits, who were gathering on the Eternal City (Rome).” These prayers later became known as the “Leonine Prayers,” because of their association with the pontiff.
In 1929, a treaty was signed that resolved the issue of land between Rome and the Vatican, creating the Vatican City State that exists today. With this problem resolved, Pope Pius XI asked that these prayers should continue to be said, this time for the conversion of Russia. At the time Russia was in a state of turmoil with the rise of Communism, promoting an atheistic state that persecuted religion. This was of great concern for the pope.
In 1964, with the reform of the Roman liturgy, these “Prayers after Mass” were eliminated. However, in recent years, especially after the request of Pope Francis to say the St. Michael Prayer to protect the Church from division, many local bishops have asked their priests to recite the St. Michael Prayer after each celebration of Mass.
