EPISTLE. Ephesians 4:1-6
1 I THEREFORE, the prisoner of the Lord, beseech you
that ye walk worthy of the vocation wherewith ye are called,
2 With all lowliness and meekness, with longsuffering, forbearing
one another in love;
3 Endeavouring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of
peace.
4 There is one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in
one hope of your calling;
5 One Lord, one faith, one baptism,
6 One God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all,
and in you all.
GRADUAL. Ps. 33. Blessed are the people, whose
God is the Lord JEHOVAH: and blessed are the folk that he hath
chosen to him to be his inheritance. V. By the word of the LORD
were the heavens made: and all the hosts of them by the breath
of his mouth.
Alleluia, alleluia. V. Ps. 102 Hear my prayer,
O Lord, and let my crying come unto thee. Alleluia.
GOSPEL. St Luke 14:1-11
1 And it came to pass, as
he went into the house of one of the chief Pharisees to eat bread
on the sabbath day, that they watched him.
2 And, behold, there was a certain man before him which had the
dropsy.
3 And Jesus answering spake unto the lawyers and Pharisees, saying,
Is it lawful to heal on the sabbath day?
4 And they held their peace. And he took him, and healed him,
and let him go;
5 And answered them, saying, Which of you shall have an ass or
an ox fallen into a pit, and will not straightway pull him out
on the sabbath day?
6 And they could not answer him again to these things.
7 And he put forth a parable to those which were bidden, when
he marked how they chose out the chief rooms; saying unto them,
8 When thou art bidden of any man to a wedding, sit not down
in the highest room; lest a more honourable man than thou be
bidden of him;
9 And he that bade thee and him come and say to thee, Give this
man place; and thou begin with shame to take the lowest room.
10 But when thou art bidden, go and sit down in the lowest room;
that when he that bade thee cometh, he may say unto thee, Friend,
go up higher: then shalt thou have worship in the presence of
them that sit at meat with thee.
11 For whosoever exalteth himself shall be abased; and he that
humbleth himself shall be exalted.
OFFERTORY. Dan. 9:17,19 I, Daniel, prayed unto the
Lord my God, and said: Hear, O Lord, the prayer of thy servant:
cause thy face to shine upon thy sanctuary: and mercifully behold
this thy people, which is called by thy Name, O God.
SECRET.
CLEANSE us, O Lord, we pray thee, by the effectual working of
this our sacrifice: and so accomplish in us the work of thy mercy,
that we may be found worthy to be made partakers of the same.
Through.
COMMUNION. Ps. 76. Promise unto the LORD your God, and
keep it, all ye that are round about him: bring presents unto
him that ought to be feared: he shall refrain the spirit of princes:
and is wonderful among the kings of the earth.
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.]
