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.

    Alleluia, alleluia. ℣. Blessed is the man that feareth the Lord: he shall delight exceedingly in His commandments. Alleluia.

Gospel: Luke xii. 32-34

Sell what you possess, and give alms. Make to yourselves bags which grow not old, a treasure in heaven which faileth not: where no thief approacheth, nor moth corrupteth. For where your treasure is, there will you heart be also.

Offertory: Psalm xx. 2-3

    In Thy strength, O Lord, the just man shall be joyful, and in Thy salvation he shall rejoice exceedingly: Thou hast given him the desire of his heart.
