Introit: Psalm cxxxi. 9-10

    Let Thy priests, O Lord, be clothed with justice, and let Thy saints rejoice: for Thy servant David's sake, turn not away the face of Thy anointed. Ps. O Lord, remember David, and all his meekness. ℣. Glory be. Let Thy priests...

Collect

    O God, who by the preaching and miracles of blessed Augustine, Thy confessor and bishop, didst vouchsafe to enlighten the English nation with the light of the true faith; moved by his prayers, vouchsafe that the hearts of those who have gone astray may return to the unity of Thy truth, and that we may ever be of one mind in doing Thy will. Through our Lord.

Epistle: 1 Thessalonians ii. 2-9

    Lesson from the Epistle of blessed Paul the Apostle to the Thessalonians. Brethren, we had confidence in our God to speak unto you the gospel of God in much carefulness. For our exhortation was not of error, nor of uncleanness, nor in deceit. But, as we were approved by God that the gospel should be committed to us, even So we speak, not as pleasing men, but God, who proveth our hearts. For neither have we used at any time the speech of flattery, as you know; nor taken an occasion of covetousness, God is witness: nor sought we glory of men, neither of you, nor of others. Whereas we might have been burdensome to you, as the apostles of Christ: but we became little ones in the midst of you, as if a nurse should cherish her children: so desirous of you we would gladly impart unto you not only the gospel of God, but also our own souls; because you were become most dear unto us. For you remember, brethren, our labor and toil: working night and day lest we should be chargeable to any of you, we preached unto you the gospel of God.

First and Second Alleluia: Psalm cix. 4; Ecclesiasticus xlv. 9

    Alleluia, alleluia. ℣. The Lord hath sworn, and He will not repent: Thou art a priest for ever according to the order of Melchisedech. Alleluia. ℣. The Lord loved him and adorned him, He clothed him with a robe of glory. Alleluia.

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. 25

    My truth and My mercy shall be with him: and in My name shall his horn be exalted.

Secret

    Very humbly, O Lord, on this festival-day of blessed Augustine, Thy bishop and confessor, we offer up our sacrifice to Thee: beseeching that those sheep which have been lost, may once more be gathered into the one fold, and fed with this food of salvation. Through our Lord.

Communion: Matthew xxiv. 46-47

    Blessed is that servant, whom when his lord cometh he shall find watching: Amen I say to you, he shall place him over all his goods.

Postcommunion

    We who are strengthened by this Victim of salvation, humbly beseech Thee, O Lord, that by the prayers of blessed Augustine, this sacrifice may be offered in every place to the glory of Thy name. Through our Lord.
