Ps 103. Benedic, anima
mea.
First Lesson
Ezekiel 47:1-2,6-8, 12
1 Afterward he brought me again unto the door of the house; and,
behold, waters issued out from under the threshold of the house
eastward: for the forefront of the house stood toward the east,
and the waters came down from under from the right side of the
house, at the south side of the altar.
2 Then brought he me out of the way of the gate northward, and
led me about the way without unto the utter gate by the way that
looketh eastward; and, behold, there ran out waters on the right
side.
6 And he said unto me, Son of man, hast thou seen this? Then
he brought me, and caused me to return to the brink of the river.
7 Now when I had returned, behold, at the bank of the river were
very many trees on the one side and on the other.
8 Then said he unto me, These waters issue out toward the east
country, and go down into the desert, and go into the sea: which
being brought forth into the sea, the waters shall be healed.
12 And by the river upon the bank thereof, on this side and on
that side, shall grow all trees for meat, whose leaf shall not
fade, neither shall the fruit thereof be consumed: it shall bring
forth new fruit according to his months, because their waters
they issued out of the sanctuary: and the fruit thereof shall
be for meat, and the leaf thereof for medicine.
Second Lesson
Luke 1:1-4
1 Forasmuch as many have taken in hand to set forth in order
a declaration of those things which are most surely believed
among us,
2 Even as they delivered them unto us, which from the beginning
were eyewitnesses, and ministers of the word;
3 It seemed good to me also, having had perfect understanding
of all things from the very first, to write unto thee in order,
most excellent Theophilus,
4 That
thou mightest know the certainty of those things, wherein thou
hast been instructed.
MORNING PRAYER
(October 18, Feast of Saint Luke)
Ps 67. Deus misereatur.
Ps 96. Cantate Domino.
First Lesson
Isaiah 52:7-10
7 How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of him that bringeth
good tidings, that publisheth peace; that bringeth good tidings
of good, that publisheth salvation; that saith unto Zion, Thy
God reigneth!
8 Thy watchmen shall lift up the voice; with the voice together
shall they sing: for they shall see eye to eye, when the LORD
shall bring again Zion.
9 Break
forth into joy, sing together, ye waste places of Jerusalem:
for the LORD hath comforted his people, he hath redeemed Jerusalem.
10 The
LORD hath made bare his holy arm in the eyes of all the nations;
and all the ends of the earth shall see the salvation of our
God.
Second
Lesson
Acts 1:1-8
1 The former treatise have I made, O Theophilus, of all that
Jesus began both to do and teach,
2 Until the day in which he was taken up, after that he through
the Holy Ghost had given commandments unto the apostles whom
he had chosen:
3 To whom also he showed himself alive after his passion by many
infallible proofs, being seen of them forty days, and speaking
of the things pertaining to the kingdom of God:
4 And, being assembled together with them, commanded them that
they should not depart from Jerusalem, but wait for the promise
of the Father, which, saith he, ye have heard of me.
5 For John truly baptized with water; but ye shall be baptized
with the Holy Ghost not many days hence.
6 When they therefore were come together, they asked of him,
saying, Lord, wilt thou at this time restore again the kingdom
to Israel?
7 And he said unto them, It is not for you to know the times
or the seasons, which the Father hath put in his own power.
8 But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come
upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem,
and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part
of the earth.
EVENING
PRAYER (Abbreviated
+ Full)
(October 18, Feast of Saint Luke)
Ps 147. Laudate Dominum.
First Lesson
Ecclesiasticus 38:1-14
1
Honour a physician with the honour due unto him for the uses
which ye may have of him: for the Lord hath created him.
2 For of the most High cometh healing, and he shall receive honour
of the king.
3 The skill of the physician shall lift up his head: and in the
sight of great men he shall be in admiration.
4 The Lord hath created medicines out of the earth; and he that
is wise will not abhor them.
5 Was not the water made sweet with wood, that the virtue thereof
might be known?
6 And he hath given men skill, that he might be honoured in his
marvellous works.
7 With such doth he heal [men,] and taketh away their pains.
8 Of such doth the apothecary make a confection; and of his works
there is no end; and from him is peace over all the earth.
9 My son, in thy sickness be not negligent: but pray unto the
Lord, and he will make thee whole.
10 Leave off from sin, and order thine hands aright, and cleanse
thy heart from all wickedness.
11 Give a sweet savour, and a memorial of fine flour; and make
a fat offering, as not being.
12 Then
give place to the physician, for the Lord hath created him: let
him not go from thee, for thou hast need of him.
13 There is a time when in their hands there is good success.
14 For they shall also pray unto the Lord, that he would prosper
that, which they give for ease and remedy to prolong life.
Second Lesson
Colossians 4:2-18
2 Continue in prayer, and watch in the same with thanksgiving;
3 Withal
praying also for us, that God would open unto us a door of utterance,
to speak the mystery of Christ, for which I am also in bonds:
4 That I may make it manifest, as I ought to speak.
5 Walk in wisdom toward them that are without, redeeming the
time.
6 Let your speech be always with grace, seasoned with salt, that
ye may know how ye ought to answer every man.
7 All my state shall Tychicus declare unto you, who is a beloved
brother, and a faithful minister and fellowservant in the Lord:
8 Whom I have sent unto you for the same purpose, that he might
know your estate, and comfort your hearts;
9 With Onesimus, a faithful and beloved brother, who is one of
you. They shall make known unto you all things which are done
here.
10 Aristarchus my fellowprisoner saluteth you, and Marcus, sister's
son to Barnabas, (touching whom ye received commandments: if
he come unto you, receive him;)
11 And Jesus, which is called Justus, who are of the circumcision.
These only are my fellowworkers unto the kingdom of God, which
have been a comfort unto me.
12 Epaphras, who is one of you, a servant of Christ, saluteth
you, always labouring fervently for you in prayers, that ye may
stand perfect and complete in all the will of God.
13 For I bear him record, that he hath a great zeal for you,
and them that are in Laodicea, and them in Hierapolis.
14 Luke, the beloved physician, and Demas, greet you.
15 Salute the brethren which are in Laodicea, and Nymphas, and
the church which is in his house.
16 And when this epistle is read among you, cause that it be
read also in the church of the Laodiceans; and that ye likewise
read the epistle from Laodicea.
17 And say to Archippus, Take heed to the ministry which thou
hast received in the Lord, that thou fulfil it.
18 The salutation by the hand of me Paul. Remember my bonds.
Grace be with you. Amen.

EVENING PRAYER (Abbreviated + Full) , Eve
Ps 66. Jubilate Deo.
First Lesson
Isaiah 4:2-6
2 In that day shall the branch of the LORD be beautiful and glorious,
and the fruit of the earth shall be excellent and comely for
them that are escaped of Israel.
3 And it shall come to pass, that he that is left in Zion, and
he that remaineth in Jerusalem, shall be called holy, even every
one that is written among the living in Jerusalem:
4 When the Lord shall have washed away the filth of the daughters
of Zion, and shall have purged the blood of Jerusalem from the
midst thereof by the spirit of judgment, and by the spirit of
burning.
5 And the LORD will create upon every dwellingplace of mount
Zion, and upon her assemblies, a cloud and smoke by day, and
the shining of a flaming fire by night: for upon all the glory
shall be a defence.
6 And there shall be a tabernacle for a shadow in the daytime
from the heat, and for a place of refuge, and for a covert from
storm and from rain.
Second Lesson
Acts 1:6-14
6 When they therefore were come together, they asked of him,
saying, Lord, wilt thou at this time restore again the kingdom
to Israel?
7 And
he said unto them, It is not for you to know the times or the
seasons, which the Father hath put in his own power.
8 But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come
upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem,
and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part
of the earth.
9 And when he had spoken these things, while they beheld, he
was taken up; and a cloud received him out of their sight.
10 And while they looked stedfastly toward heaven as he went
up, behold, two men stood by them in white apparel;
11 Which also said, Ye men of Galilee, why stand ye gazing up
into heaven? this same Jesus, which is taken up from you into
heaven, shall so come in like manner as ye have seen him go into
heaven.
12 Then returned they unto Jerusalem from the mount called Olivet,
which is from Jerusalem a sabbath day's journey.
13 And when they were come in, they went up into an upper room,
where abode both Peter, and James, and John, and Andrew, Philip,
and Thomas, Bartholomew, and Matthew, James the son of Alphaeus,
and Simon Zelotes, and Judas the brother of James.
14 These
all continued with one accord in prayer and supplication, with
the women, and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with his brethren.
MORNING PRAYER
(Ss Simon and Jude)
Ps 118. Confitemini Domino.
First Lesson
Isaiah 28:9-16
9
Whom shall he teach knowledge? and whom shall he make to understand
doctrine? them that are weaned from the milk, and drawn from
the breasts.
10 For precept must be upon precept, precept upon precept; line
upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little:
11 For with stammering lips and another tongue will he speak
to this people.
12 To whom he said, This is the rest wherewith ye may cause the
weary to rest; and this is the refreshing: yet they would not
hear.
13 But the word of the LORD was unto them precept upon precept,
precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a
little, and there a little; that they might go, and fall backward,
and be broken, and snared, and taken.
14 Wherefore hear the word of the LORD, ye scornful men, that
rule this people which is in Jerusalem.
15 Because
ye have said, We have made a covenant with death, and with hell
are we at agreement; when the overflowing scourge shall pass
through, it shall not come unto us: for we have made lies our
refuge, and under falsehood have we hid ourselves:
16 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD, Behold, I lay in Zion for
a foundation a stone, a tried stone, a precious corner stone,
a sure foundation: he that believeth shall not make haste.
Second Lesson
Ephesians 2:11-18
11 Wherefore remember, that ye being in time past Gentiles in
the flesh, who are called Uncircumcision by that which is called
the Circumcision in the flesh made by hands;
12 That at that time ye were without Christ, being aliens from
the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers from the covenants
of promise, having no hope, and without God in the world:
13 But now in Christ Jesus ye who sometimes were far off are
made nigh by the blood of Christ.
14 For he is our peace, who hath made both one, and hath broken
down the middle wall of partition between us;
15 Having
abolished in his flesh the enmity, even the law of commandments
contained in ordinances; for to make in himself of twain one
new man, so making peace;
16 And that he might reconcile both unto God in one body by the
cross, having slain the enmity thereby:
17 And came and preached peace to you which were afar off, and
to them that were nigh.
18 For
through him we both have access by one Spirit unto the Father.
EVENING
PRAYER (Abbreviated
+ Full)
(Ss. Jude and Simon)
Ps 62. Nonne Deo?
Ps 121. Levavi oculos.
First Lesson
Deuteronomy 32:1-4
1 Give ear, O ye heavens, and I will speak; and hear, O earth,
the words of my mouth.
2 My doctrine shall drop as the rain, my speech shall distil
as the dew, as the small rain upon the tender herb, and as the
showers upon the grass:
3 Because I will publish the name of the LORD: ascribe ye greatness
unto our God.
4 He is the Rock, his work is perfect: for all his ways are judgment:
a God of truth and without iniquity, just and right is he.
Second Lesson
John 14:15-31
15
If ye love me, keep my commandments.
16 And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another
Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever;
17 Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because
it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he
dwelleth with you, and shall be in you.
18 I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you.
19 Yet a little while, and the world seeth me no more; but ye
see me: because I live, ye shall live also.
20 At that day ye shall know that I am in my Father, and ye in
me, and I in you.
21 He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that
loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father,
and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him.
22 Judas saith unto him, not Iscariot, Lord, how is it that thou
wilt manifest thyself unto us, and not unto the world?
23 Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will
keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come
unto him, and make our abode with him.
24 He that loveth me not keepeth not my sayings: and the word
which ye hear is not mine, but the Father's which sent me.
25 These things have I spoken unto you, being yet present with
you.
26 But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father
will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring
all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.
27 Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the
world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled,
neither let it be afraid.
28 Ye have heard how I said unto you, I go away, and come again
unto you. If ye loved me, ye would rejoice, because I said, I
go unto the Father: for my Father is greater than I.
29 And now I have told you before it come to pass, that, when
it is come to pass, ye might believe.
30 Hereafter I will not talk much with you: for the prince of
this world cometh, and hath nothing in me.
31 But that the world may know that I love the Father; and as
the Father gave me commandment, even so I do. Arise, let us go
hence.
