MISSAL PROPERS:
THE 13TH SUNDAY AFTER TRINITY


INTROIT.
Respice, Domine. Ps. 74.
LOOK, O Lord, upon the covenant, and forget not the congregation of the poor for ever: arise, O God, maintain thine own cause, and be not unmindful of the voices of them that seek thee. Ps. ibid. O God, wherefore art thou absent from us so long: why is thy wrath so hot against the sheep in thy pasture? V. Glory be.

COLLECT.
ALMIGHTY and merciful God, of whose only gift it cometh that thy faithful people do unto thee true and laudable service: grant, we beseech thee, that we may so faithfully serve thee in this life, that we fail not finally to attain thy heavenly promises. Through the merits of Jesus Christ our Lord. [Who.]

EPISTLE. Galatians 3:16-22
16 BRETHREN: to Abraham and his seed were the promises made. He saith not, And to seeds, as of many; but as of one, And to thy seed, which is Christ.
17 And this I say, that the covenant, that was confirmed before of God in Christ, the law, which was four hundred and thirty years after, cannot disannul, that it should make the promise of none effect.
18 For if the inheritance be of the law, it is no more of promise: but God gave it to Abraham by promise.
19 Wherefore then serveth the law? It was added because of transgressions, till the seed should come to whom the promise was made; and it was ordained by angels in the hand of a mediator.
20 Now a mediator is not a mediator of one, but God is one.
21 Is the law then against the promises of God? God forbid: for if there had been a law given which could have given life, verily righteousness should have been by the law.
22 But the scripture hath concluded all under sin, that the promise by faith of Jesus Christ might be given to them that believe.

GRADUAL. Ps. 74. Look upon the covenant, O Lord, and forget not the congregation of the poor for ever. V. Arise, O God, maintain thine own cause; remember how the foolish man blasphemeth thee daily.
Alleluia, alleluia. V. Ps. 90 Lord, thou hast been our refuge: from one generation to another. Alleluia.

GOSPEL. St. Luke 10:23-37
23 AT that time, Jesus said to His disciples: Blessed are the eyes which see the things that ye see:
24 For I tell you, that many prophets and kings have desired to see those things which ye see, and have not seen them; and to hear those things which ye hear, and have not heard them.
25 And, behold, a certain lawyer stood up, and tempted him, saying, Master, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?
26 He said unto him, What is written in the law? how readest thou?
27 And he answering said, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy strength, and with all thy mind; and thy neighbour as thyself.
28 And he said unto him, Thou hast answered right: this do, and thou shalt live.
29 But he, willing to justify himself, said unto Jesus, And who is my neighbour?
30 And Jesus answering said, A certain man went down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and fell among thieves, which stripped him of his raiment, and wounded him, and departed, leaving him half dead.
31 And by chance there came down a certain priest that way: and when he saw him, he passed by on the other side.
32 And likewise a Levite, when he was at the place, came and looked on him, and passed by on the other side.
33 But a certain Samaritan, as he journeyed, came where he was: and when he saw him, he had compassion on him,
34 And went to him, and bound up his wounds, pouring in oil and wine, and set him on his own beast, and brought him to an inn, and took care of him.
35 And on the morrow when he departed, he took out two pence, and gave them to the host, and said unto him, Take care of him; and whatsoever thou spendest more, when I come again, I will repay thee.
36 Which now of these three, thinkest thou, was neighbour unto him that fell among the thieves?
37 And he said, He that showed mercy on him. Then said Jesus unto him, Go, and do thou likewise.

OFFERTORY. Ps. 31. My hope hath been in thee, O Lord; I have said: thou art my God, my time is in thy hand.

SECRET.
WE beseech thee, O Lord, mercifully to look upon the oblation, which on thine holy altar we do present unto thee: that the same may be profitable unto us for the obtaining of thy pardon, and effectually avail for the increasing of the glory of thy Name. [Through.]

COMMUNION. Wisdom 16:20 Thou didst send them bread from heaven, O Lord: able to content every man's delight, and agreeing to every taste.
