Epistle: Ecclesiasticus xxiv. 23-31
Lesson from the book of Ecclesiasticus. As the vine I have brought forth a pleasent odor, and my flowers are the fruit of honor and riches. I am the mother of fair love, and of fear, and of knowledge, and of holy hope. In me is all grace of the way and of the truth, in me is all hope of life and of virtue. Come over to me, all ye that desire me, and be filled with my fruits; for my spirit is sweet above honey, and my inheritance above honey and the honey-comb. My memory is unto everlasting generations. They that eat me, shall yet hunger; and they that drink me, shall yet thirst. He that hearkeneth to me shall not be confounded, and they that work by me shall not sin. They that explain me shall have life everlasting.
Gradual: Psalms xii. 6; xliv. 18
My heart shall rejoice in Thy salvation: I will sing to the Lord, who giveth me good things: yea I will sing to the name of the Lord the Most High. ℣. They shall remember thy name throughout all generations. Therefore shall people praise thee for ever.
Alleluia: Luke i. 46-47
