EPISTLE II Cor. 10. 17-18; 11. 1-2.
Brethren, he that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord. For not he who com-mendeth himself, is approved: but he whom God commendeth. Would to God you could bear with some little of my folly, but do bear with me; for I am jealous of you with the jealousy of God. For I have espoused you to one husband, that I may present you a chaste virgin to Christ.
GRADUAL Ps. 44. 8, 3.
Thou hast loved justice, and hated iniquity. V.: Therefore God, thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness.
Alleluia, alleluia. V.: Grace is poured abroad in thy lips, therefore hath God blessed thee for ever. Alleluia.
+ The Continuation of the Holy Gospel according to Matthew (13. 44-52)
At that time, Jesus spoke to his disciples this parable: The Kingdom of Heaven is like unto a treasure hidden in a field. Which a man having found, hid it, and for joy thereof goeth, and selleth all that he hath, and buyeth that field. Again the Kingdom of Heaven is like to a merchant seeking good pearls. Who when he had found one pearl of great price, went his way, and sold all that he had, and bought it. Again the Kingdom of Heaven is like to a net cast into the sea, and gathering together of all kind of fishes. Which, when it was filled, they drew out, and sitting by the shore, they chose out the good into vessels, but the bad they cast forth. So shall it be at the end of the world: the angels shall go out, and shall separate the wicked from among the just, and shall cast them into the furnace of fire: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth. Have ye understood all these things? They say to him: Yes. He said unto them: Therefore every scribe instructed in the Kingdom of Heaven is like to a man that is a householder, who bringeth forth out of his treasure new things and old.
The Creed is said for the Octave.
