Epistle: Hebrews xi. 33-39

    Lesson from the book of Hebrews. Brethren, the saints through faith subdued kingdoms, wrought justice, obtained promises, stopped the mouth of lions, quenched the violence of fire, escaped the edge of the sword, recovered strength from weakness, became valiant in battle, put to flight the armies of foreigners: women received their dead raised to life again: but others were racked, not accepting deliverance, that they might find a better resurrection; and others had trial of mockeries and stripes, moreover also of bands and prisons: they were stoned, they were cut asunder, they were tempted, they were put to death by the sword, they wandered about in sheep-skins, and in goat-skins, being in want, distressed, afflicted, of whom the world was not worthy; wandering in deserts, in mountains, and in dens, and in caves of the earth. And all these were found approved by the testimony of faith, in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Gradual: Psalms cxxxii. 1-2

    Behold how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity. ℣. It is like the precious ointment on the head, that ran down upon the beard, the beard of Aaron.

Tract: Psalms cxxv. 5-6

    They that sow in tears, shall reap in joy. ℣. Going they went and wept, casting their seeds. ℣. But coming they shall come with joyfulness, carrying their sheaves.

Gospel: Luke vi. 17-23

    + Continuation of the Gospel of St. Luke. At that time, Jesus coming down from the mountain, stood in a plain place, and the company of His disciples, and a very great multitude of people from all Judea, and Jerusalem, and the sea-coast both of Tyre and Sidon, who were come to hear Him and to be healed of their diseases. And they that were troubled with unclean spirits were cured. And all the multitudes sought to touch Him: for virtue went out from Him and healed all. And He, lifting up His eyes on His disciples, said: Blessed are ye poor: for yours is the kingdom of God. Blessed are ye that hunger now: for you shall be filled. Blessed are ye that weep now: for you shall laugh. Blessed shall you be when men shall hate you, and when they shall separate you and shall reproach you and cast our your name as evil, for the Son of man's sake. Be glad in that day and rejoice: for behold, your reward is great in heaven.

Offertory: Psalms xxxi. 11

    Be glad in the Lord, and rejoice ye just; and glory all ye right of heart.

Last Gospel of the Feria:

Gospel: Matthew xviii. 15-22

    + The continuation of the holy Gospel according to St. Matthew. At that time Jesus said to His disciples: If thy brother shall offend against thee, go, and rebuke him between thee and him alone. If he shall hear thee, thou shalt gain thy brother. And if he will not hear thee, take with thee one or two more, that in the mouth of two or three witnesses every word may stand. And if he will not hear them: tell the church. And if he will not hear the church: let him be to thee as the heathen and publican. Amen I say to you, whatsoever you shall bind upon earth shall be bound also in heaven: and whatsoever you shall loose upon earth shall be loosed also in heaven. Again I say to you, that if two of you shall consent upon earth concerning any thing whatsoever they shall ask, it shall be done to them by My Father who is in heaven. For where there are two or three gathered together in My name, there am I in the midst of them. Then came Peter unto Him and said: Lord, how often shall my brother offend against me, and I forgive him? till seven times ? Jesus saith to him: I say not to thee till seven times, but till seventy times seven times.
