THE COLLECT.
O LORD, we beseech thee mercifully to hear us;
and grant
that we, to whom thou hast given an hearty desire to pray, may by thy
mighty
aid be defended and comforted in all dangers and adversities; through
Jesus
Christ our Lord. Amen.
THE EPISTLE.
1 S. Peter 5. 5
ALL of you be subject one to another, and be
clothed
with humility: for God resisteth the proud, and giveth grace to the
humble.
Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may
exalt
you in due time; casting all your care upon him, for he careth for
you.
Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring
lion,
walketh about seeking whom he may devour: whom resist stedfast in the
faith,
knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished in your brethren
that
are in the world. But the God of all grace, who hath called us
into
his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that ye have suffered a while,
make you perfect, stablish, strengthen, settle you. To him be
glory
and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.
THE GOSPEL.
S. Luke 15. 1
THEN drew near unto him all the Publicans and
sinners
for to hear him. And the Pharisees and Scribes murmured, saying,
This man receiveth sinners, and eateth with them. And he spake
this
parable unto them, saying, What man of you, having an hundred sheep, if
he lose one of them, doth not leave the ninety and nine in the
wilderness,
and go after that which is lost, until he find it? And when he
hath
found it, he layeth it on his shoulders, rejoicing. And when he
cometh
home, he calleth together his friends and neighbours, saying unto them,
Rejoice with me; for I have found my sheep which was lost. I say
unto you, that likewise joy shall be in heaven over one sinner that repenteth,
more than over ninety and nine just persons, which need no
repentance.
Either what woman having ten pieces of silver, if she lose one piece,
doth
not light a candle, and sweep the house, and seek diligently till she
find
it? And when she hath found it, she calleth her friends and her
neighbours
together, saying, Rejoice with me; for I have found the piece which I
had
lost. Likewise, I say unto you, There is joy in the presence of
the
angels of God over one sinner that repenteth.
The
Lost Sheep Sir John Everett Millais, published 1864

INTROIT. Ps
25:16-22
Ant. TURN thee unto me, and have
mercy upon
me; / for I am desolate, and in misery.
17 Relieve thou the sorrows of my heart: / O
bring thou
me out of my troubles.
18 Look upon my adversity and misery, / and
forgive me
all my sins.
19 Consider mine enemies, how many they are; /
and they
bear a tyrannous hate against me.
20 O keep my soul, and deliver me; / let me not
be confounded,
for I have put my trust in thee.
21 Let perfectness and righteous dealing
preserve me;
/ for my hope is in thee.
22 Deliver Israel, O God, / out of all his
troubles.
Glory be. Repeat Antiphon.
GRADUAL.
Ps 7:9-12
9 O let the wickedness of the ungodly come to
an end;
/ but guide thou the just.
10 For the righteous God / trieth the very
minds and
hearts.
11 My help cometh of God, / who preserveth them
that
are true of heart.
Alleluia, All. God is a
righteous
Judge, strong, and patient; / and God is provoked every day. All.
