Introit: Psalms cxxxi. 9-10

    Let Thy priests, O Lord, be clothed with justice, and let Thy saints rejoice: for Thy servant David's sake, turn not away the face of Thy anointed. Ps. O Lord, remember David, and all his meekness. ℣. Glory be to the Father.

Collect

    Almighty and everlasting God, who, by the ministry of Thy blessed confessors and bishops Cyril and Methodius, wast pleased to bring the nations of Slavonia to the knowledge of Thy name: grant that we who glory in keeping their festival may have fellowship with them for evermore. Through our Lord.

Epistle: Hebrews vii. 23-27

    Lesson from the Epistle of blessed Paul the Apostle to the Hebrews. Brethren, there were made many priests, because by reason of death they were not suffered to continue: but Jesus, for that He continueth for ever, hath an everlasting priesthood. Whereby He is able also to save for ever them that come to God by Him: always living to make intercession for us. For it was fitting that we should have such a High Priest, holy, innocent, undefiled, separated from sinners, and made higher than the heavens: who needeth not daily, as the other priests, to offer sacrifices, first for his own sins, and then for the people's: for this He did once in offering Himself, Jesus Christ our Lord.

Gradual: Psalm cxxxi. 16-17

    I will clothe her priests with salvation: and her saints shall rejoice with exceeding great joy. ℣. There will I bring forth a horn to David: I have prepared a lamp for my anointed.

Alleluia: Psalm cix. 4

    Alleluia, alleluia. ℣. The Lord hath sworn, and He will not repent: Thou art a priest for ever according to the order of Melchisedech. Alleluia.

Gospel: Luke x. 1-9

    + Continuation of the holy Gospel according to St. Luke. At that time, the Lord appointed also other seventy-two; and he sent them two and two before His face into every city and place whither He Himself was to come. And He said to them: The harvest indeed is great, but the laborers are few; pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest. Go, behold I send you as lambs among wolves. Carry neither purse, nor scrip, nor shoes; and salute no man by the way. Into whatsoever house you enter, first say: Peace be to this house: and if the son of peace be there, you peace shall rest upon him: but if not, it shall return to you. And in the same house remain, eating and drinking such things as they have: for the laborer is worthy of his hire. Remove not from house to house. And into what city soever you enter, and they receive you, eat such things as are set before you; and heal the sick that are therein; and say to them: The kingdom of God is come nigh unto you.

Offertory: Psalms lxvii. 36

    God is wonderful in His saints: the God of Israel is He who will give power and strength to His people: blessed be God.

Secret

    Look down, we beseech Thee, O Lord, on our prayers and the oblations of Thy faithful, that they may be pleasing to Thee on the festival of Thy saints and may obtain for us the aid of Thy mercy. Through our Lord.

Communion: Matthew x. 27

    That which I tell you in the dark, speak ye in the light, saith the Lord, and that which you hear in the ear, preach ye upon the house-tops.

Postcommunion

    We beseech Thee, almighty God, that as Thou dost deign to bestow on us heavenly gifts, so Thou wouldst, through the intercession of Thy saints Cyril and Methodius, grant us grace to despise the earthly things. Through our Lord.
