THE 23RD SUNDAY AFTER TRINITY
INTROIT. Dicit Dominus. Jer. 29.
THUS saith the Lord:
I know the thoughts that I think toward you, thoughts of peace,
and not of evil: ye shall call upon me, and I will hearken unto
you: and will turn away your captivity from all the nations. Ps. 85. Lord, thou art become gracious unto thy land:
thou hast turned away the captivity of Jacob. V. Glory be.
COLLECT.
O GOD, our refuge and strength, who art the author of all
godliness: be ready, we beseech thee, to hear the devout prayers
of thy Church; and grant that those things which we ask faithfully
we may obtain effectually. Through Jesus Christ our Lord. [Who.]
EPISTLE. Philippians 3:17-21
17 Brethren, be followers together of me, and mark them which
walk so as ye have us for an ensample.
18 (For many walk, of whom I have told you often, and now tell
you even weeping, that they are the enemies of the cross of Christ:
19 Whose end is destruction, whose God is their belly, and whose
glory is in their shame, who mind earthly things.)
20 For our conversation is in heaven; from whence also we look
for the Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ:
21 Who shall change our vile body, that it may be fashioned like
unto his glorious body, according to the working whereby he is
able even to subdue all things unto himself.
GRADUAL. Ps. 44. It is thou, O Lord, that savest
us from our enemies: and puttest them to confusion that hate
us. V. We make our boast of God all day long, and will praise
thy Name for ever.
Alleluia, alleluia. V. Ps. 130. Out of the deep have I
called unto thee, O Lord: Lord hear my voice. Alleluia.
GOSPEL. St. Matthew 22:15-22
15 Then went the Pharisees,
and took counsel how they might entangle him in his talk.
16 And they sent out unto him their disciples with the Herodians,
saying, Master, we know that thou art true, and teachest the
way of God in truth, neither carest thou for any man: for thou
regardest not the person of men.
17 Tell us therefore, What thinkest thou? Is it lawful to give
tribute unto Caesar, or not?
18 But Jesus perceived their wickedness, and said, Why tempt
ye me, ye hypocrites?
19 Show me the tribute money. And they brought unto him a penny.
20 And he saith unto them, Whose is this image and superscription?
21 They say unto him, Caesar's. Then saith he unto them, Render
therefore unto Caesar the things which are Caesar's; and unto
God the things that are God's.
22 When they had heard these words, they marvelled, and left
him, and went their way.
OFFERTORY. Ps. 130. Out of the deep have I called unto thee, O Lord: Lord, hear my voice: out of the deep have I called unto thee, O Lord.
SECRET.
GRANT, we beseech thee, merciful Lord: that by this sacrifice
ordained for our salvation, we may evermore be delivered from
the bonds of our sins, and defended against all adversities.
Through.
COMMUNION. St. Mark 11. Therefore I say unto you, what things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them.
POSTCOMMUNION.
O LORD, who hast made us partakers of the gifts of these holy
mysteries: we humbly beseech thee, that those things, which thou
hast commanded us to do in remembrance of thee, may be profitable
to the succour of all our infirmities. Who livest and reignest
with the Father.
