Epistle: Isaias lxvi. 12-14

    Lesson from the book of Isaias. Thus saith the Lord: Behold I will bring upon her as it were a river of peace, and as an overflowing torrent the glory of the Gentiles, which you shall suck; you shall be carried at the breasts, and upon the knees they shall caress you. As one whom the mother caresseth, so will I comfort you: and you shall be comforted in Jerusalem. You shall see and your heart shall rejoice, and your bones shall flourish like an herb, and the hand of the Lord shall be known to His servants.

Alleluia: Ecclesiasticus xxxix. 17-19

    Alleluia, alleluia, ℣. Bud forth as the rose planted by the brooks of waters. Give ye a sweet odor as frankincense. Send forth flowers as the lily, and yield a smell, and bring fort leaves in grace, and praise with canticles and bless the Lord in His works. Alleluia.

Gospel: Matthew xviii. 1-4

    + The continuation of the holy Gospel according to St. Matthew. At that time, the disciples came to Jesus saying: Who thinkest Thou is the greater in the kingdom of heaven? And Jesus calling unto Him a little child, set him in the midst of them, and said: Amen I say to you, unless you be converted and become as little children, you shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven. Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, he is the greater in the kingdom of heaven.

Offertory: Luke i. 46-48, 49
