INTROIT. In voluntate tua.
O LORD, the whole world is
in thy power, and there is no man that can gainsay thee: for
thou hast made heaven and earth, and all the wondrous things
under the heaven: thou art Lord of all things. Ps. 119 Blessed
are those that are undefiled in the way: and walk in the law
of the Lord. V. Glory be.
COLLECT.
GRANT, we beseech thee, merciful Lord, to thy faithful people
pardon and peace: that they may be cleansed from all their sins,
and serve thee with a quiet mind. Through Jesus Christ our Lord.
AMEN
EPISTLE. Ephesians
6:10-20
10 Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power
of his might.
11 Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand
against the wiles of the devil.
12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities,
against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world,
against spiritual wickedness in high places.
13 Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may
be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to
stand.
14 Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth,
and having on the breastplate of righteousness;
15 And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace;
16 Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall
be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked.
17 And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit,
which is the word of God:
18 Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit,
and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication
for all saints;
19 And for me, that utterance may be given unto me, that I may
open my mouth boldly, to make known the mystery of the gospel,
20 For which I am an ambassador in bonds: that therein I may
speak boldly, as I ought to speak.
GRADUAL. Ps. 9. 0 LORD, thou hast been our refuge,
from one generation to another.
Alleluia, alleluia. V. Ps. 114 When Israel came out of
Egypt, and the house of Jacob from among the strange people Alleluia.
GOSPEL. St. John 4:46-54
46 There was a certain nobleman,
whose son was sick at Capernaum.
47 When he heard that Jesus was come out of Judaea into Galilee,
he went unto him, and besought him that he would come down, and
heal his son: for he was at the point of death.
48 Then said Jesus unto him, Except ye see signs and wonders,
ye will not believe.
49 The nobleman saith unto him, Sir, come down ere my child die.
50 Jesus saith unto him, Go thy way; thy son liveth. And the
man believed the word that Jesus had spoken unto him, and he
went his way.
51 And as he was now going down, his servants met him, and told
him, saying, Thy son liveth.
52 Then inquired he of them the hour when he began to amend.
And they said unto him, Yesterday at the seventh hour the fever
left him.
53 So the father knew that it was at the same hour, in the which
Jesus said unto him, Thy son liveth: and himself believed, and
his whole house.
54 This is again the second miracle that Jesus did, when he was
come out of Judaea into Galilee.
OFFERTORY. Job 1. There was a
man in the land of Uz whose name was Job: and that man was perfect
and upright, and one that feared God: and Satan sought to tempt
him: and power was given him by the LORD over his possessions,
and over his flesh: and he destroyed all his substance, and his
sons: and he smote his flesh with sore boils.
