Epistle: Romans vi. 19-23
Lesson from the Epistle of blessed Paul the Apostle to the Romans. Brethren: I speak a human thing, because of the infirmity of your flesh; for as you have yielded your members to serve uncleanness and iniquity unto iniquity, so now yield your members to serve justice unto sanctification. For when you were the servants of sin, you were free from justice. What fruit therefore had you then in those things, of which you are now ashamed? For the end of them is death. But now being made free from sin, and become servants to God, you have your fruit unto sanctification, and the end life everlasting. For the wages of sin is death. But the grace of God is life everlasting; in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Gradual: Psalms xxxiii. 12, 6
Come children, hearken to me: I will teach you the fear of the Lord. ℣. Come ye to Him and be enlightened, and your faces shall not be confounded.
Alleluia: Psalms xlvi. 2
Alleluia, alleluia. ℣. O clap your hands, all ye nations, shout unto God with the voice of joy. Alleluia.
Gospel: Matthew vii. 15-21
+ The continuation of the holy Gospel according to St. Matthew. At that time, Jesus said to His disciples: Beware of false prophets, who come to you in the clothing of sheep, but inwardly they are ravening wolves. By their fruits you shall know them. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles? Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit, and the evil tree bringeth forth evil fruit. A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can an evil tree bring forth good fruit. Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit shall be cut down, and shall be cast into the fire. Wherefore by their fruits you shall know them. Not every one that saith to Me: Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of My Father who is in heaven, he shall enter into the kingdom of heaven.
Offertory: Daniel iii. 40
As in holocausts of rams and bullocks, and as in thousands of fat lambs; so let our sacrifice be made in Thy sight this day, that it may please Thee: for there is no confusion to them that trust in Thee, O Lord.
Secret
O God who, in this one sacrifice, hast perfected the offering of the many victims prescribed under the Old Law: receive this same sacrifice offered by Thy devoted servants and sanctify it with a blessing, like unto that which Thou didst bestow upon the offerings of Abel, so that what each has offered here to the glory of Thy name, may profit all unto salvation. Through our Lord.
