EPISTLE
1 Corinthians 13: 1 - 13 Brethren, If I speak with
the tongues of men and of Angels, and have not charity, I am become as
sounding brass or a tinkling cymbal. And if I should have prophecy, and
should know all mysteries and all knowledge: and if I should have all
faith so that I could remove mountains, and have not charity, I am
nothing. And if I should distribute all my goods to feed the poor, and
if I should deliver my body to be burned and have not charity, it
profiteth me nothing. Charity is patient, is kind: Charity envieth not,
dealing not perversely, is not puffed up, is not ambitious, seeketh not
her own, is not provoked to anger, thinketh no evil, rejoiceth not in
iniquity, but rejoiceth with the truth: beareth all things, believeth
all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things. Charity never
falleth away: whether prophecies shall be made void, or tongues shall
cease, or knowledge shall be destroyed. For we know in part, and we
prophesy in part. But when that which is perfect is come, that which is
in part shall be done away. When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I
understood as a child, I thought as a child. But when I became a man, I
put away the things of a child. We see now through a glass in a dark
manner: but then face to face. Now I know in part: but then I shall know
even as I am known. And now there remain faith, hope, charity, these
three; but the greatest of these is charity.
GRADUAL
Psalm 76: 15, 16 Thou art
the God that alone doest wonders: Thou hast made Thy power known among
the nations. V.: With Thine arm Thou hast delivered Thy people, the
children of Israel and of Joseph.
TRACT
Psalm 99: 1, 2 Sing
joyfully to God, all the earth: serve ye the Lord with gladness. V.:
Come in before His presence with exceeding great joy: know ye that the
Lord He is God. V.: He made us, and not we ourselves: but we are His
people and the sheep of His pasture.
GOSPEL
Luke 18: 31 - 43
At that time
Jesus took unto Him the twelve men and said to them: Behold, we go up to
Jerusalem, and all things shall be accomplished which were written by
the prophets concerning the Son of Man. For He shall be delivered to the
Gentiles, and shall be mocked and scourged and spit upon: and after they
have scourged Him, they will put Him to death, and he third day He shall
rise again. And they understood none of those things, and this word was
hid from them, and they understood not the things that were said. Now it
came to pass, when He drew nigh to Jericho, that a certain blind man sat
by the wayside, begging. And when he heard the multitude passing by, he
asked what this meant. And they told him that Jesus of Nazareth was
passing by. And he cried out, saying: Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on
me. And they that went before rebuked him, that he should hold his
peace. But he cried out much more: Son of David, have mercy on me. And
Jesus standing, commanded him to be brought unto Him. And when he was
come near, He asked him, saying: What wilt thou that I do to thee? But
he said: Lord, that I may see. And Jesus said to him: Receive thy sight,
they faith hath made thee whole. And immediately he saw and followed
Him, glorifying God. And all the people, when they saw it, gave praise
to God.

PREFACE (Preface of the Most Holy
Trinity) - It it truly meet and just, right and for our salvation, that
we should at all times, and in all places, give thanks unto Thee, O holy
Lord, Father almighty, everlasting God; Who, together with Thine
only-begotten Son, and the Holy Ghost, art one God, one Lord: not in the
oneness of a single Person, but in the Trinity of one substance. For
what we believe by Thy revelation of Thy glory, the same do we believe
of Thy Son, the same of the Holy Ghost, without difference or
separation. So that in confessing the true and everlasting Godhead,
distinction in persons, unity in essence, and equality in majesty may be
adored. Which the Angels and Archangels, the Cherubim also and Seraphim
do praise: who cease not daily to cry out, with one voice saying:
