THE COLLECT.
O God, the strength of all them that put their
trust
in thee, mercifully accept our prayers; and because through the
weakness
of our mortal nature, we can do no good thing without thee, grant us
the
help of thy grace, that in keeping of thy commandments we may please
thee
both in will and deed; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
THE EPISTLE.
1 S. John 4. 7
BELOVED, let us love one another: for love is
of God,
and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God. He
that
loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love. In this was
manifested
the love of God toward us, because that God sent his only-begotten Son
into the world, that we might live through him. Herein is love,
not
that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the
propitiation
for our sins. Beloved, if God so loved us, we ought also to love
one another. No man hath seen God at any time. If we love
one
another, God dwelleth in us, and his love is perfected in us.
Hereby
know we that we dwell in him, and he in us; because he hath given us of
his Spirit. And we have seen, and do testify, that the Father
sent
the Son to be the Saviour of the world. Whosoever shall confess
that
Jesus is the Son of God, God dwelleth in him, and he in God. And
we have known and believed the love that God hath to us. God is
love;
and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God in him.
Herein
is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of
judgement;
because as he is, so are we in this world. There is no fear in
love;
but perfect love casteth out fear; because fear hath torment: he that
feareth
is not made perfect in love. We love him, because he first loved
us. If a man say, I love God, and hateth his brother, he is a
liar:
for he that loveth not his brother whom he hath seen, how can he love
God
whom he hath not seen? And this commandment have we from him,
that
he who loveth God love his brother also.
THE GOSPEL. S.
Luke 16. 19
AND Jesus spake a parable unto them, saying,
There was
a certain rich man, which was clothed in purple and fine linen, and
fared
sumptuously every day. And there was a certain beggar named
Lazarus,
which was laid at his gate full of sores, and desiring to be fed with
the
crumbs which fell from the rich man's table: moreover the dogs came and
licked his sores. And it came to pass, that the beggar died, and
was carried by the angels into Abraham's bosom. The rich man also
died, and was buried: and in hell he lift up his eyes, being in
torments,
and seeth Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom. And he
cried
and said, Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus, that he
may
dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my tongue; for I am
tormented
in this flame. But Abraham said, Son, remember that thou in thy
life-time
receivedst thy good things, and likewise Lazarus evil things; but now
he
is comforted, and thou art tormented. And besides all this,
between
us and you there is a great gulf fixed: so that they which would pass
from
hence to you cannot; neither can they pass to us, that would come from
thence. Then he said, I pray thee therefore, father, that thou
wouldest
send him to my father's house: for I have five brethren; that he may
testify
unto them, lest they also come into this place of torment.
Abraham
saith unto him, They have Moses and the prophets; let them hear
them.
And he said, Nay, father Abraham; but if one went unto them from the
dead,
they will repent. And he said unto him, If they hear not Moses
and
the prophets, neither will they be persuaded though one rose from the
dead.

INTROIT. Ps
13
HOW long wilt thou forget me, O Lord, for ever?
/ how
long wilt thou hide thy face from me?
2 How long shall I seek counsel in my soul, and
be so
vexed in my heart? / how long shall mine enemies triumph over me?
3 Consider, and hear me, O Lord my God; /
lighten mine
eyes, that I sleep not in death;
4 Lest mine enemy say, 'I have prevailed
against him';
/ for if I be cast down, they that trouble me will rejoice.
Ant. But my trust is in thy
mercy, / and
my heart is joyful in thy salvation.
6 I will sing of the Lord, because he hath
dealt so lovingly
with me; / yea, I will praise the Name of the Lord most Highest.
Glory be. Repeat Antiphon.
GRADUAL.
Ps 41:1-4
BLESSED is he that considereth the poor and
needy; /
the Lord shall deliver him in the time of trouble.
2 The Lord preserve him, and keep him alive,
that he
may be blessed in the land; / and deliver not thou him into the will of
his enemies.
3 The Lord comfort him, when he lieth sick upon
his bed;
/ thou makest all his bed in his sickness.
Alleluia, All. I said, 'Lord, be
merciful
unto me; / heal my soul, for I have sinned against thee.' All.
