EPISTLE I Thess. 2.13-16

Brethren, we also give thanks to God without ceasing: because, that when you had received of us the word of the hearing of God, you received it not as the word of men, but (as it is indeed) the word of God, who worketh in you that have believed. For you, brethren, are become followers of the churches of God which are in Judea, in Christ Jesus: for you also have suffered the same things from your own coutrymen, even as they have from the Jews, who both killed the Lord Jesus, and the prophets, and have persecuted us, and please not God, and are adversaries to all men; Prohibiting us to speak to the Gentiles, that they may be saved, to fill up their sins always: for the wrath of God is come upon them to the end.

GRADUAL Ps. 33.10,11

Fear the Lord, all ye his Saints; for there is no want to them that fear him: the rich have wanted and have suffered hunger, but they that seek the Lord shall not be deprived of any good.

Alleluia, alleluia. V. Wis. 3.7. The just shall shine, and shall run to and fro like sparks among the reeds for ever. Alleluia.

+ The Continuation of the Holy Gospel according to Mark (16.15-18)

At that time, Jesus said to his disciples: Go ye into the whole world, and preach the gospel to every creature. He that believeth and is baptized, shall be saved: but he that believeth not shall be condemned. And these signs shall follow them that believe: In my name they shall cast out devils: they shall speak with new tongues. They shall take up serpents; and if they shall drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them: they shall lay their hands upon the sick, and they shall recover.

OFFERTORY Ps. 31.11

Be glad in the Lord, and rejoice, ye just: and glory, all ye right of heart.

SECRET

May our offerings, O Lord, be acceptable in thy sight, and be for us a help to salvation through the prayers of those in honor of whose festival it is offered. Through.
