FOR THE EPISTLE. Song of the Three Children, 11-22
11 In those days: Azarias prayed unto the Lord, saying: O Lord, Yet deliver us not up wholly, for thy name's sake, neither disannul thou thy covenant:
12 And cause not thy mercy to depart from us, for thy beloved Abraham's sake, for thy servant Issac's sake, and for thy holy Israel's sake;
13 To whom thou hast spoken and promised, that thou wouldest multiply their seed as the stars of heaven, and as the sand that lieth upon the seashore.
14 For we, O Lord, are become less than any nation, and be kept under this day in all the world because of our sins.
15 Neither is there at this time prince, or prophet, or leader, or burnt offering, or sacrifice, or oblation, or incense, or place to sacrifice before thee, and to find mercy.
16 Nevertheless in a contrite heart and an humble spirit let us be accepted.
17 Like as in the burnt offerings of rams and bullocks, and like as in ten thousands of fat lambs: so let our sacrifice be in thy sight this day, and grant that we may wholly go after thee: for they shall not be confounded that put their trust in thee.
18 And now we follow thee with all our heart, we fear thee, and seek thy face.
19 Put us not to shame: but deal with us after thy lovingkindness, and according to the multitude of thy mercies.
20 Deliver us also according to thy marvellous works, and give glory to thy name, O Lord: and let all them that do thy servants hurt be ashamed;
21 And let them be confounded in all their power and might, and let their strength be broken;
22 And let them know that thou art God, the only God, and glorious over the whole world, O Lord our God.

GRADUAL. Ps. 96. Bring presents, and come into his courts: O worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness. V. Ps. 29. The voice of the Lord discovereth the thick bushes: in his temple doth every man speak of his honour.

GOSPEL. St. Luke 7:36-50
36 And one of the Pharisees desired him that he would eat with him. And he went into the Pharisee's house, and sat down to meat.
37 And, behold, a woman in the city, which was a sinner, when she knew that Jesus sat at meat in the Pharisee's house, brought an alabaster box of ointment,
38 And stood at his feet behind him weeping, and began to wash his feet with tears, and did wipe them with the hairs of her head, and kissed his feet, and anointed them with the ointment.
39 Now when the Pharisee which had bidden him saw it, he spake within himself, saying, This man, if he were a prophet, would have known who and what manner of woman this is that toucheth him: for she is a sinner.
40 And Jesus answering said unto him, Simon, I have somewhat to say unto thee. And he saith, Master, say on.
41 There was a certain creditor which had two debtors: the one owed five hundred pence, and the other fifty.
42 And when they had nothing to pay, he frankly forgave them both. Tell me therefore, which of them will love him most?
43 Simon answered and said, I suppose that he, to whom he forgave most. And he said unto him, Thou hast rightly judged.
44 And he turned to the woman, and said unto Simon, Seest thou this woman? I entered into thine house, thou gavest me no water for my feet: but she hath washed my feet with tears, and wiped them with the hairs of her head.
45 Thou gavest me no kiss: but this woman since the time I came in hath not ceased to kiss my feet.
46 My head with oil thou didst not anoint: but this woman hath anointed my feet with ointment.
47 Wherefore I say unto thee, Her sins, which are many, are forgiven; for she loved much: but to whom little is forgiven, the same loveth little.
48 And he said unto her, Thy sins are forgiven.
49 And they that sat at meat with him began to say within themselves, Who is this that forgiveth sins also?
50 And he said to the woman, Thy faith hath saved thee; go in peace.

OFFERTORY. Ps. 137. By the waters of Babylon we sat down and wept: when we remembered thee, O Sion.

SECRET.
O Lord God Almighty, who of the creatures, which thou hast ordained for the succour of man's frailty, should be offered to the honour of thy Name: grant, we beseech thee, that the same may be a sacrifice acceptable unto thee for our succour in this present life, and a Sacrament profitable unto us for the obtaining of life everlasting. Through.

COMMUNION. Ps. 119. O think upon thy servant, as concerning thy word, O Lord, wherein thou hast caused me to put my trust: the same is may comfort in my trouble.

POSTCOMMUNION.
Grant, O Lord, that those things, which we have taken with our outward lips, we may inwardly receive in purity of heart: that being in this life partakers of these thy gifts, we may be the same be healed unto life everlasting. Through.

Over the people. Let us pray. Bow down before the Lord.

COLLECT.
We beseech thee, O Lord, mercifully to have compassion on thy people: that we, eschewing those things that are contrary to thy good pleasure, may be fulfilled w
ith gladness by the walking after thy commandments. Through.
