Epistle: Ecclesiasticus xliv. 16-27; xlv. 3-20

    Lesson from the book of Ecclesiasticus. (Noe) Behold, a great priest, who in his days pleased God, and was found just: and in the time of wrath he was made a reconciliation. (Abraham) There was not found the like to him who kept the law of the Most High. Therefore by an oath the Lord made him to increase among his people. (Isaac) He gave him the blessing of all nations, and confirmed His covenant upon his head. He acknowledged him in His blessings; He preserved for him His mercy; and he found grace before the eyes of the Lord. (Moses) He glorified him in the sight of kings, and gave him a crown of glory. (Aaron) He made an everlasting covenant with him, and gave him a great priesthood: and made him blessed in glory. To execute the office of the priesthood, and to have praise in His name, and to offer him a worth incense for an odor of sweetness.

Gospel: Luke x. 1-9

    + Continuation of the holy Gospel according to St. Luke. At that time, the Lord appointed also other seventy-two; and he sent them two and two before His face into every city and place whither He Himself was to come. And He said to them: The harvest indeed is great, but the laborers are few; pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest. Go, behold I send you as lambs among wolves. Carry neither purse, nor scrip, nor shoes; and salute no man by the way. Into whatsoever house you enter, first say: Peace be to this house: and if the son of peace be there, you peace shall rest upon him: but if not, it shall return to you. And in the same house remain, eating and drinking such things as they have: for the laborer is worthy of his hire. Remove not from house to house. And into what city soever you enter, and they receive you, eat such things as are set before you; and heal the sick that are therein; and say to them: The kingdom of God is come nigh unto you.

Offertory: Psalm lxxxviii. 21-22
