Introit: Jeremias xxix. 11, 12, 14

    The Lord saith: I think thoughts of peace, and not of affliction: you shall call upon Me, and I will hear you; and I will bring back your captivity from all places. Ps. Lord, Thou hast blessed Thy land: Thou hast turned away the captivity of Jacob. ℣. Glory be. The Lord saith...

Collect

    Grant, we beseech Thee, almighty God, that ever meditating upon the truths Thou hast proposed for our intelligence, we may in every word and work of ours, do that which is pleasing to Thee. Through our Lord.

Commemoration of  St. Albert the Great :

    O God, who didst make blessed Albert, Thy bishop and doctor, great in subordinating human wisdom to divine faith: grant us, we beseech Thee, so to follow the footsteps of his doctrine, that in heaven we may enjoy perfect light. Through our Lord.

Epistle: 1 Thessalonians i. 2-10

    Lesson from St. Paul's first Epistle to the Thessalonians. Brethren: We give thanks to God always for you all, making a remembrance of you in our prayers without ceasing, being mindful of the owrk of your faith and labor and charity, and of the enduring of the hope of our Lord Jesus Christ before God and our Father: knowing, brethren beloved of God, your election: for our Gospel hath not been unto you in word only, but in power also, and in the Holy Ghost, and in much fullness, as you know what manner of men we have been among you for your sakes. And you became followers of us and of the Lord, receiving the word in much tribulation, with joy of the Holy Ghost: so that you were made a pattern to all that believe in Macedonia and in Achaia. For from you was spread abroad the word of the Lord, not only in Macedonia and in Achaia, but also in every place your faith, which is towards God, is gone forth, so that we need not to speak any thing. For they themselves relate of us what manner of entering in we had unto you; and how you turned to God from idols to serve the living and true God, and to wait for His Son from heaven whom He raised up from the dead, Jesus, who hath delivered us from the wrath to come.

Gradual: Psalms xliii. 8-9

    Thou hast delivered us, O Lord from them that afflict us: and hast put them to shame that hate us. ℣. In God we will glory all the day: and in Thy name we will give praise for ever.

Alleluia: Psalms cxxix. 1-2

    Alleluia, alleluia. ℣. From the depths I have cried to Thee, O Lord: Lord, hear my prayer. Alleluia.

Gospel: Matthew xiii. 31-35

    + Continuation of the Gospel of St. Matthew. At that time Jesus spoke to the multitudes this parable: The kingdom of heaven is like to a grain of mustard seed, which a man took and sowed in his field: which is the least indeed of all seeds: but when it is grown up, it is greater than all herbs and becometh a tree, so that the birds of the air come and dwell in the branches thereof. Another parable He spoke to them: The kingdom of heaven is like to leaven, which a woman took and hid in three measures of meal, until the whole was leavened. All these things Jesus spoke in parables to the multitudes: and without parables He did not speak to them: that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the Prophet, saying I will open my mouth in parables, I will utter things hidden from the foundation of the world.

Offertory: Psalms cxxix. 1-2

    From the depths I have cried out to Thee, O Lord: Lord, hear my prayer: from the depths I have cried out to Thee, O Lord.
