INTROIT. Dicit Dominus. Jer. 29
THUS saith the Lord: I know the thoughts that I think toward you, thoughts of peace, and not of evil; ye shall call upon me, and I will hearken unto you: and will turn away your captivity from all the nations. Ps. 85 Lord, thou art become gracious unto thy land: thou hast turned away the captivity of Jacob. V. Glory be.

COLLECT.
STIR UP, we beseech thee, O Lord, the wills of thy faithful people; that they, plenteously bringing forth the fruit of good works, may by thee be plenteously rewarded; through Jesus Christ our Lord. AMEN.

EPISTLE. Jeremiah 23:5-8
5 Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will raise unto David a righteous Branch, and a King shall reign and prosper, and shall execute judgment and justice in the earth.
6 In his days Judah shall be saved, and Israel shall dwell safely: and this is his name whereby he shall be called, THE LORD OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS.
7 Therefore, behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that they shall no more say, The LORD liveth, which brought up the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt;
8 But, The LORD liveth, which brought up and which led the seed of the house of Israel out of the north country, and from all countries whither I had driven them; and they shall dwell in their own land.

GRADUAL. Ps. 44. It is thou, O Lord, that savest us from our enemies: and puttest them to confusion that hate us. V. We make our boast of God all day long: and will praise thy Name for ever.
Alleluia, alleluia. V. Ps. 130 Out of the deep have I called unto thee, O Lord: Lord, hear my voice. Alleluia.

GOSPEL. St. John 6:5-14
5 When Jesus then lifted up his eyes, and saw a great company come unto him, he saith unto Philip, Whence shall we buy bread, that these may eat?
6 And this he said to prove him: for he himself knew what he would do.
7 Philip answered him, Two hundred pennyworth of bread is not sufficient for them, that every one of them may take a little.
8 One of his disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter's brother, saith unto him,
9 There is a lad here, which hath five barley loaves, and two small fishes: but what are they among so many?
10 And Jesus said, Make the men sit down. Now there was much grass in the place. So the men sat down, in number about five thousand.
11 And Jesus took the loaves; and when he had given thanks, he distributed to the disciples, and the disciples to them that were set down; and likewise of the fishes as much as they would.
12 When they were filled, he said unto his disciples, Gather up the fragments that remain, that nothing be lost.
13 Therefore they gathered them together, and filled twelve baskets with the fragments of the five barley loaves, which remained over and above unto them that had eaten.
14 Then those men, when they had seen the miracle that Jesus did, said, This is of a truth that prophet that should come into the world.

OFFERTORY. Ps. 130. Out of the deep have I called unto thee, O Lord: Lord, hear my voice: out of the deep have I called unto thee, O Lord.

SECRET.
WE beseech thee, O Lord, to have compassion on our supplications, and to accept the prayers and oblations of thy people: that the hearts of all men being turned unto thee, we may be delivered from the desire of all things temporal, and follow stedfastly after things eternal. [Through.]

COMMUNION. St. Mark 11. Therefore I say unto you, what things soever ye desire when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them.

POSTCOMMUNION.
GRANT, O Lord, that the effectual healing of the sacraments which we have received; may deliver us from all the diseases of our souls. [Through. ]
