EPISTLE Ecclus. 31.8-11

Blessed is the man that is found without blemish, and that hath not gone after gold, nor put his trust in money nor in treasures. Who is he, and we will praise him? For he hath done wonderful things in is life. Who hath been tried thereby, and made perfect, he shall have glory everlasting: he that could have transgressed, and hath not transgressed: and could do evil things, and hath not done them: therefore are his goods established in the Lord, and all the Church of the Saints shall declare his alms.

GRADUAL Ps. 70.5,6

My hope, O Lord, from my youth: by thee have I been confirmed from the womb: from my mother's womb thou art my protector. V. Ps. 40.13. But thou hast upheld me by reason of mine innocence, and hast established me in thy sight for ever.

Alleluia, alleluia. V. Ps. 64.5. Blessed is he whom thou hast chosen and taken to thee: he shall dwell in thy courts. Alleluia.

+ The Continuation of the Holy Gospel according to Matthew (22.29-40)

At that time, Jesus answering, said to the Sadduccees: You err, not knowing the Scriptures, nor the power of God. For in the resurrection they shall neither marry nor be married; but shall be as the angels of God in heaven. And concerning the resurrection of the dead, have you not read that which was spoken by God, saying to you: I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob? He is not the God of the dead, but of the living. And the multitudes hearing it, were in admiration at his doctrine. But the Pharisees hearing that he had silenced the Sadducees, came together: And one of them, a doctor of the law, asking him, tempting him: Master, which is the greatest commandment in the law? Jesus said to him: Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with thy whole heart, and with thy whole soul, and with thy whole mind. This is the greatest and the first commandment. And the second is like to this: Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself. On these two commandments dependeth the whole law and the prophets.

OFFERTORY Ps. 23.3-4

Who shall ascend unto the mountains of the Lord, or who shall stand in his holy place? The innocent in hands, and clean of heart.

SECRET

Grant, O Lord, that we may sit at the heavenly banquet clothed in the wedding-garment, which the loving preparation and continual tears of blessed Aloysius adorned with priceless pearls. Through.

Commemoration: Trinity III

Be appeased, we beseech thee, O Lord, by the offerings received from us, and graciously turn towards thee even our rebel wills. Through.
