THE EIGHTH SUNDAY AFTER TRINITY
INTROIT. Suscepimus. Psalm 48
WE have waited for thy loving-kindness,
O God, in the midst of thy temple: O God, according to thy Name,
so is thy praise unto the world's end: thy right hand is full
of righteousness. Ps. ibid. Great is the Lord, and highly
to be praised: in the city of our God, even upon his holy hill.
V. Glory be.
COLLECT.
O GOD, whose never-failing providence ordereth all things both
in heaven and earth: we humbly beseech thee to put away from
us all hurtful things, and to give us those things which are
profitable for us; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
EPISTLE. Romans 8:12-17
12 BRETHREN, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live after
the flesh.
13 For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye through
the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live.
14 For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the
sons of God.
15 For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear;
but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry,
Abba, Father.
16 The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we
are the children of God:
17 And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs
with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be
also glorified together.
GRADUAL. Ps. 31 Be thou my strong rock and house
of defence, that thou mayest save me. V. In thee, O Lord, have
I put my trust: let me never be put to confusion.
Alleluia, alleluia. V. Ps. 48. Great is the Lord, and
highly to be praised: in the city of our God, even upon his holy
hill. Alleluia.
GOSPEL. St. Matthew 7:15-21
15 AT that time; Jesus said
to his disciples: Beware of false prophets, which come to you
in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.
16 Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of
thorns, or figs of thistles?
17 Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt
tree bringeth forth evil fruit.
18 A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt
tree bring forth good fruit.
19 Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down,
and cast into the fire.
20 Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.
21 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter
into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my
Father which is in heaven.
OFFERTORY. Ps. 18. Thou shalt save the people that are in adversity, O Lord, and shalt bring down the high looks of the proud: for who is God, but the Lord?
SECRET.
O GOD, who didst ratify the manifold sacrifices of the law
by the one perfect sacrifice of our redemption: mercifully accept
the oblation of thy bounden servants, and sanctify them with
that benediction wherewith thou didst bless the gifts of Abel
thy servant; that what each hath offered to the honour of thy
majesty may be profitable unto all for their salvation. Through.
COMMUNION. Ps. 34. O taste and see how gracious the Lord is: blessed is he that putteth his trust in him.
POSTCOMMUNION
GRANT, O Lord, that the power of thy healing may mercifully cleanse
us from all our perversities: and lead us henceforth in the paths
of righteousness. Through.
