THE FIRST SUNDAY AFTER TRINITY
INTROIT. Domine, in tua misericordia. Ps. 13
O LORD, my trust in thy mercy:
and my heart is joyful in thy salvation: I will sing of the Lord,
because he hath dealt so lovingly with me. Ps. ibid. How
long wilt thou forget me, O Lord, for ever? How long wilt thou
hide thy face from me? V. Glory be.
COLLECT.
O GOD, the strength of all those who put their trust in thee,
mercifully accept our prayers: and because through the weakness
of our mortal nature we can do no good thing without thee, grant
us the help of thy grace; that in keeping thy commandments, we
may please thee both in will and deed; through Jesus Christ our
Lord. AMEN.
EPISTLE. 1 John 4:7-21
7 Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every
one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God.
8 He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love.
9 In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that
God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might
live through him.
10 Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us,
and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins.
11 Beloved, if God so loved us, we ought also to love one another.
12 No man hath seen God at any time. If we love one another,
God dwelleth in us, and his love is perfected in us.
13 Hereby know we that we dwell in him, and he in us, because
he hath given us of his Spirit.
14 And we have seen and do testify that the Father sent the Son
to be the Saviour of the world.
15 Whosoever shall confess that Jesus is the Son of God, God
dwelleth in him, and he in God.
16 And we have known and believed the love that God hath to us.
God is love; and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and
God in him.
17 Herein is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness
in the day of judgment: because as he is, so are we in this world.
18 There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear:
because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect
in love.
19 We love him, because he first loved us.
20 If a man say, I love God, and hateth his brother, he is a
liar: for he that loveth not his brother whom he hath seen, how
can he love God whom he hath not seen?
21 And this commandment have we from him, That he who loveth
God love his brother also.
GRADUAL. Ps. 41 I said: Lord, be merciful unto
me: heal my soul, for I have sinned against thee. V. Blessed
is he that considereth the poor and needy: the Lord shall deliver
him in the time of trouble.
Alleluia, alleluia. V. Ps. 5. Ponder my words, O Lord:
consider my meditation. Alleluia.
GOSPEL. St. Luke 16:19-31
19 AT that time; Jesus spake
this parable unto his disciples: There was a certain rich man,
which was clothed in purple and fine linen, and fared sumptuously
every day:
20 And there was a certain beggar named Lazarus, which was laid
at his gate, full of sores,
21 And desiring to be fed with the crumbs which fell from the
rich man's table: moreover the dogs came and licked his sores.
22 And it came to pass, that the beggar died, and was carried
by the angels into Abraham's bosom: the rich man also died, and
was buried;
23 And in hell he lift up his eyes, being in torments, and seeth
Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom.
24 And he cried and said, Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and
send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water,
and cool my tongue; for I am tormented in this flame.
25 But Abraham said, Son, remember that thou in thy lifetime
receivedst thy good things, and likewise Lazarus evil things:
but now he is comforted, and thou art tormented.
26 And beside all this, between us and you there is a great gulf
fixed: so that they which would pass from hence to you cannot;
neither can they pass to us, that would come from thence.
27 Then he said, I pray thee therefore, father, that thou wouldest
send him to my father's house:
28 For I have five brethren; that he may testify unto them, lest
they also come into this place of torment.
29 Abraham saith unto him, They have Moses and the prophets;
let them hear them.
30 And he said, Nay, father Abraham: but if one went unto them
from the dead, they will repent.
31 And he said unto him, If they hear not Moses and the prophets,
neither will they be persuaded, though one rose from the dead.
OFFERTORY. Ps. 5. O hearken thou unto the voice of my calling, my King and my God: for unto thee, O Lord, will I make my prayer.
SECRET.
WE BESEECH thee, O Lord, graciously to accept this our sacrifice
which we offer unto thee: that the same may effectually avail
for our succour unto everlasting life. Through.
COMMUNION. Ps. 9. I will speak of all thy marvellous works: I will be glad and rejoice in thee: yea, my songs will I make of thy Name, O thou Most Highest.
POSTCOMMUNION.
O LORD, who hast vouchsafed to fulfil us with thy wondrous bounty:
grant, we beseech thee, that we receiving these gifts of our
redemption may never cease from shewing forth thy praises. Through.
