4 I THANK my God always on your behalf, for the grace of God
which is given you by Jesus Christ;
5 That in every thing ye are enriched by him, in all utterance,
and in all knowledge;
6 Even as the testimony of Christ was confirmed in you:
7 So that ye come behind in no gift; waiting for the coming of
our Lord Jesus Christ:
8 Who shall also confirm you unto the end, that ye may be blameless
in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ.

unto me: We will go into the house of the Lord. V. Peace be within
thy walls, and plenteousness within thy palaces.

thy Name, O Lord: and all the kings of the earth thy majesty.
Alleluia.
GOSPEL. St Matthew 22:34-46
34 WHEN the Pharisees had
heard that he had put the Sadducees to silence, they were gathered
together.
35 Then one of them, which was a lawyer, asked him a question,
tempting him, and saying,
36 Master, which is the great commandment in the law?
37 Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with
all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.
38 This is the first and great commandment.
39 And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour
as thyself.
40 On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.
41 While the Pharisees were gathered together, Jesus asked them,
42 Saying, What think ye of Christ? whose son is he? They say
unto him, The son of David.
43 He saith unto them, How then doth David in spirit call him
Lord, saying,
44 The Lord said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand, till
I make thine enemies thy footstool?
45 If David then call him Lord, how is he his son?
46 And no man was able to answer him a word, neither durst any
man from that day forth ask him any more questions.
OFFERTORY. Exod. 24. Moses builded an altar unto
the Lord, and offered burnt offerings upon it, and sacrificed
peace offerings: and he made an evening sacrifice for a sweet-smelling
savour unto the Lord God, in the eyes of the children of Israel.
SECRET.
Almighty God, we humbly beseech thy majesty: that we which
here perform these holy mysteries may thereby be absolved from
all our former sins, and evermore defended against all temptations.
