THE 16TH SUNDAY AFTER TRINITY
INTROIT. Miserere mihi. Ps. 86
BE MERCIFUL unto me O Lord,
for I will call daily upon thee: for thou, O Lord, art good and
gracious, and of great mercy unto all them that call upon thee. Ps. ibid Bow down thine ear, O Lord, and hear me: for
I am poor and in misery. V. Glory be.
COLLECT.
O LORD, we beseech thee, let thy continual pity cleanse and defend
thy Church: and, because it cannot continue in safety without
thy succour, preserve it evermore by thy help and goodness. Through
Jesus Christ our Lord.
EPISTLE. Ephesians 3:13-21
13 I DESIRE that ye faint not at my tribulations for you, which
is your glory.
14 For this cause I bow my knees unto the Father of our Lord
Jesus Christ,
15 Of whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named,
16 That he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory,
to be strengthened with might by his Spirit in the inner man;
17 That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being
rooted and grounded in love,
18 May be able to comprehend with all saints what is the breadth,
and length, and depth, and height;
19 And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that
ye might be filled with all the fulness of God.
20 Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above
all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh
in us,
21 Unto him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus throughout
all ages, world without end. Amen.
GRADUAL. Ps. 102. The heathen shall fear thy
Name, O Lord, and all the kings of the earth thy majesty. V.
When the Lord shall build up Sion: and when his glory shall appear.
Alleluia, alleluia. V. Ps. 98 O sing unto the Lord a new
song: for he hath done marvelous things. Alleluia.
GOSPEL. Saint Luke 7:11-17
11 AND it came to pass the
day after, that he went into a city called Nain; and many of
his disciples went with him, and much people.
12 Now when he came nigh to the gate of the city, behold, there
was a dead man carried out, the only son of his mother, and she
was a widow: and much people of the city was with her.
13 And when the Lord saw her, he had compassion on her, and said
unto her, Weep not.
14 And he came and touched the bier: and they that bare him stood
still. And he said, Young man, I say unto thee, Arise.
15 And he that was dead sat up, and began to speak. And he delivered
him to his mother.
16 And there came a fear on all: and they glorified God, saying,
That a great prophet is risen up among us; and, That God hath
visited his people.
17 And this rumour of him went forth throughout all Judaea, and
throughout all the region round about.
OFFERTORY. Ps. 40. Make haste, O Lord, to help me: let them be ashamed and confounded together, that seek after my soul, to destroy it: make haste, O Lord, to help me.
SECRET.
GRANT, O Lord, we pray thee, that by the protection of thy holy
sacraments, we may ever be defended against all the assaults
off the devil. Through.
COMMUNION. Ps. 71. O Lord, I will make mention
of thy righteousness only: thou, O God, hast taught me from my
youth up until now: forsake me not, O God, in mine old age, when
I am grey-headed.
POSTCOMMUNION.
WE beseech thee, O Lord, that the operation of thy heavenly bounty
may in such wise prevail upon us both in body and soul: that
the desires of our hearts being done away; we may in all things
be governed by the effectual working of the same. Through.
