THE SIXTH SUNDAY AFTER TRINITY
INTROIT Dominus fortitudo. Psalm 28.
THE Lord is the strength of
his people, and he is the wholesome defence of his Anointed:
O Lord, save thy people, and give thy blessing unto thine inheritance:
feed them, and set them up for ever. Ps ibid. Unto thee
will I cry, O Lord, my God, think no scorn of me: lest, if thou
make as though thou hearest not, I become like unto them that
go down into the pit. V. Glory be.
COLLECT.
O GOD, who hast prepared for those who love thee such good things
as pass man's understanding; Pour into our hearts such love toward
thee, that we, loving thee above all things, may obtain thy promises,
which exceed all that we can desire; through Jesus Christ our
Lord. AMEN.
EPISTLE. Romans 6:3-11
3 Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus
Christ were baptized into his death?
4 Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that
like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the
Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life.
5 For if we have been planted together in the likeness of his
death, we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection:
6 Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that
the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should
not serve sin.
7 For he that is dead is freed from sin.
8 Now if we be dead with Christ, we believe that we shall also
live with him:
9 Knowing that Christ being raised from the dead dieth no more;
death hath no more dominion over him.
10 For in that he died, he died unto sin once: but in that he
liveth, he liveth unto God.
11 Likewise reckon ye also yourselves to be dead indeed unto
sin, but alive unto God through Jesus Christ our Lord.
GRADUAL. Ps. 90 Turn thee again, O Lord,
at the last: and be gracious unto thy servants. V. Lord, thou
hast been our refuge: from one generation to another.
Alleluia, alleluia. V. Ps 31 In thee, O Lord, have
I put my trust, let me never be put to confusion: deliver me
in thy righteousness: bow down thine ear to me, make haste to
deliver me. Alleluia.
GOSPEL. St. Matthew 5:20-26
20 Jesus said unto his disciples:
except your righteousness shall exceed the righteousness of the
scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no case enter into the kingdom
of heaven.
21 Ye have heard that it was said by them of old time, Thou shalt
not kill; and whosoever shall kill shall be in danger of the
judgment:
22 But I say unto you, That whosoever is angry with his brother
without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment: and whosoever
shall say to his brother, Raca, shall be in danger of the council:
but whosoever shall say, Thou fool, shall be in danger of hell
fire.
23 Therefore if thou bring thy gift to the altar, and there rememberest
that thy brother hath ought against thee;
24 Leave there thy gift before the altar, and go thy way; first
be reconciled to thy brother, and then come and offer thy gift.
25 Agree with thine adversary quickly, whiles thou art in the
way with him; lest at any time the adversary deliver thee to
the judge, and the judge deliver thee to the officer, and thou
be cast into prison.
26 Verily I say unto thee, Thou shalt by no means come out thence,
till thou hast paid the uttermost farthing.
OFFERTORY. Ps. 17. To hold thou up my goings in thy paths, that my footsteps slip not: incline thine ear to me, and hearken unto my words: shew thy marvellous loving-kindness, O Lord, thou that art the Saviour of them which put their trust in thee.
SECRET.
WE beseech thee, O Lord, to have compassion on our prayers:
and graciously to accept the oblations of thy servants and handmaidens;
that those things which each hath offered to the honour of thy
Name may be profitable unto all for their salvation. [Through.]
COMMUNION. Ps. 27. I will offer in his dwelling an oblation with great gladness: I will sing, and speak praises unto the Lord.
POSTCOMMUNION
O LORD, who hast satisfied us withy thy heavenly bounties: grant
that we may be cleansed from all our secret faults, and delivered
from all the crafts and assaults of our enemies. [Through.]
