Introit: Psalms lxxviii. 11, 12, 10

    Let the sighing of the prisoners come in before Thee, O Lord; render to our neighbors sevenfold in their bosom; revenge the blood of Thy saints, which hath been shed. Ps. O God, the heathens are come into Thy inheritance: they have defiled Thy holy temple: they have made Jerusalem as a place to keep fruit. ℣. Glory be. Let the sighing...

Collect

    Almighty God, grant we beseech Thee, that, even as we by our devotion anticipate the glorious festival of Thine apostles Simon and Jude, so they, in imploring from Thy majesty Thy blessings for us, may anticipate our prayers. Through our Lord.

Epistle: 1 Corinthians iv. 9-14

    Lesson from Epistle of blessed Paul the Apostle to the Corinthians. Brethren, we are made a spectacle to the world, and to angels, and to men. We are fools for Christ's sake, but you are wise in Christ: we are weak, but you are strong: you are honorable, but we without honor. Even unto this hour we both hunger and thirst, and are naked, and are buffeted, and have no fixed abode, and we labor, working with our own hands: we are reviled, and we bless: we are persecuted, and we suffer it: we are blasphemed, and we entreat: we are made as the refuse of this world, the offscouring of all even until now. I write not these things to confound you, but I admonish you as my dearest children: in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Gradual: Psalms lxxviii. 10, 2

    Revenge, O Lord, the blood of Thy saints, which hath been shed. ℣. They have given the dead bodies of Thy servants, O Lord, to be meat for the fowls of the air: the flesh of Thy saints to the beasts of the earth.

Gospel: John xv. 1-7

    + Continuation of the holy Gospel according the Apostle John. At that time, Jesus said to His disciples: I am the true vine and My Father is the husbandman. Every branch in Me that beareth not fruit, He will take away: and every one that beareth fruit, He will purge it, that it may bring forth more fruit. Now you are clean, by reason of the word which I have spoken to you, Abide in Me: and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, unless it abide in the vine, so neither can you, unless you abide in Me. I am the vine, you the branches: he abideth in Me, and I in him, the same beareth much fruit: for without Me you can do nothing. If any one abide not in Me, he shall be cast forth as a branch and shall wither, and they shall gather him up and cast him into the fire: and he burneth. If you abide in Me and My words abide in you, you shall ask whatever you will, and it shall be done unto you.

Offertory: Psalms cxlix. 5-6

    The saints shall rejoice in glory, they shall be joyful in their beds; the high praises of God shall be in their mouths.

Secret

    We anticipate with our offerings, O Lord, the feast of Thy holy apostles Simon and Jude, most humbly beseeching Thee that what are affected by the obstacles of our guilty consciences, may by their merits be rendered pleasing to Thee. Through our Lord.

Communion: Psalms lxxviii. 2, 11

    They have given the dead bodies of Thy servants, O Lord, to be meat for the fowls of the air, the flesh of Thy saints to the beasts of the earth: according to the greatness of Thy arm take possession of the children of those who have been punished with death.

Postcommunion

    Through the intercession of Thy blessed apostles Simon and Jude, we humbly pray, O Lord, who hast bestowed Thy divine sacrament upon us, that what we now do in time may bring us grace for all eternity. Through.
