Epistle. Acts 1:15-26
15 And in those days Peter stood up in the midst of the disciples,
and said, (the number of names together were about an hundred
and twenty,)
16 Men and brethren, this scripture must needs have been fulfilled,
which the Holy Ghost by the mouth of David spake before concerning
Judas, which was guide to them that took Jesus.
17 For he was numbered with us, and had obtained part of this
ministry.
18 Now this man purchased a field with the reward of iniquity;
and falling headlong, he burst asunder in the midst, and all
his bowels gushed out.
19 And it was known unto all the dwellers at Jerusalem; insomuch
as that field is called in their proper tongue, Aceldama, that
is to say, The field of blood.
20 For it is written in the book of Psalms, Let his habitation
be desolate, and let no man dwell therein: and his bishopric
let another take.
21 Wherefore of these men which have companied with us all the
time that the Lord Jesus went in and out among us,
22 Beginning from the baptism of John, unto that same day that
he was taken up from us, must one be ordained to be a witness
with us of his resurrection.
23 And they appointed two, Joseph called Barsabas, who was surnamed
Justus, and Matthias.
24 And they prayed, and said, Thou, Lord, which knowest the hearts
of all men, show whether of these two thou hast chosen,
25 That he may take part of this ministry and apostleship, from
which Judas by transgression fell, that he might go to his own
place.
26 And they gave forth their lots; and the lot fell upon Matthias;
and he was numbered with the eleven apostles.
GRADUAL. Ps. 139. Right dear are thy friends, O God, and held
in ighest honour: their rule and governance is exceeding stedfast.
V. If I should count them, they are more in number than the sand
of the sea.
TRACT. Ps. 21. Thou has given him his heart's desire: and
hast not denied him the request of his lips. V. For thou shalt
prevent him with the blessings of goodness. V. And shalt set
a crown of pure gold upon his head.
GOSPEL. St Matthew 11:25-31
25 At that time Jesus answered and
said, I thank thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because
thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, and hast
revealed them unto babes.
26 Even so, Father: for so it seemed good in thy sight.
27 All things are delivered unto me of my Father: and no man
knoweth the Son, but the Father; neither knoweth any man the
Father, save the Son, and he to whomsoever the Son will reveal
him.
28 Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and
I will give you rest.
29 Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and
lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.
30 For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light. The Creed
is said.
OFFERTORY. Ps. 45. Thoushalt make them princes in all lands: they
shall remember thy Name, O Lord, from one generation to another.
