    Lesson from the book of Joel. Thus saith the Lord God: 0 children of Sion, rejoice and be joyful in the Lord your God: because He hath given you a a teacher of justice, and He will make the early and the latter rain to come down to you, as in the beginning. And the floors shall be filled with wheat, and the presses shall overflow with wine and oil. And you shall eat in plenty and shall be filled: and you shall praise the name of the Lord your God, who hath done wonders with you: and My people shall not be confounded for ever. And you shall know that I am in the midst of Israel: and I am the Lord your God, and there is none besides: and My people shall not be confounded for ever:saith the Lord almighty.

    Come, Holy Ghost, send down those beams, / Which sweetly flow in silent streams / From Thy bright throne above. / O, come, Thou Father of the poor, / O, come, Thou source of all our store, / Come fill our hearts with love. / O Thou of comforters the best, / O Thou the soul's delightful guest, / The pilgrim's sweet relief. / Rest art Thou in our toil, most sweet / Refreshment in the noonday heat, / And solace in our grief. O blessed Light of Life Thou art, / Fill with Thy Light the inmost hearts / Of those that hope in Thee. / Without Thy Godhead nothing can / Have any price or worth in man, / Nothing can harmless be. / Lord, wash our sinful stains away, / Water from heaven our barren clay, / Our wounds and bruises heal. / To Thy sweet yoke our stiff necks bow, / Warm with Thy love our hearts of snow, / Our wandering feet recall. / Grant to Thy faithful, dearest Lord, / Whose only hope is in Thy Word, / Thy sevenfold gift of grace. / Grant us in life Thy grace, that we / In peace may die and ever be In joy before Thy face. Amen.

Gospel: Luke v. 17-26

    + Continuation of the holy Gospel according to St. Luke. At that time, it came to pass on a certain day that Jesus sat teaching. And there were Pharisees and doctors of the Law sitting by, that were come out of every town of Galilee, and Judea, and Jerusalem: and the power of the Lord was to heal them. And behold men brought in a bed a man who had the palsy: and they sought means to bring him in, and to lay him before Him. And when they could not find by what they might bring him in because of the multitude, they went up upon the roof, and let him down through the tiles with his bed into the midst before Jesus. Whose faith when He saw, He said: Man, thy sins are forgiven thee. And the Scribes and Pharisees began to think, saying: Who is this who speaketh blasphemies? Who can forgive sins, but God alone? And when Jesus knew their thoughts, answering He said to them: What is it you think in your hearts? Which is easier to say: Thy sins are forgiven thee, or to say: Arise and walk? But that you may know that the Son of Man hath power on earth to forgive sins He saith to the sick of the palsy I say to thee: Arise, take up thy bed, and go into thy house. And immediately rising up before them, he took up the bed on which he lay, and he went away to his own house, glorifying God. And all were astonished, and they glorified God. And they were filled with fear, saying: We have seen wonderful things today.
