EPISTLE Ecclus. 45.1-6
Beloved of God and men, whose memory in benediction. He made him like the Saints in glory, and magnified him in the fear of his enemies, and with his words he made prodigies to cease. He glorified him in the sight of kings, and gave him commandments in the sight of his people, and showed him his glory. He sanctified him in his faith and meekness, and chose him out of all flesh. For he heard him and his voice, and brought him into a cloud. And he gave him commandment before his face, and a law of life and instruction.
GRADUAL Ps. 20.4-5
Lord, thou hast prevented him with blessings of sweetness: thou hast set on his head a crown of precious stones. V. He asked life of thee, and thou hast given him length of days for ever and ever.
Alleluia, alleluia. V. Ps. 91.13. The just shall flourish like the palm tree: he shall grow up like cedar of Libanus. Alleluia.
+ The Continuation of the Holy Gospel according to Matthew (5.43-48;6.1-4)
At that time Jesus said to his disciples: Ye have heard that it hath been said, thou shalt love thy neighbor, and hate thy enemy. But I say to you, Love your enemies: do good to them that hate you: and pray for them that persecute and calumniate you: That you may be the children of your Father who is in heaven, who maketh his sun to rise upon the good, and bad, and raineth upon the just and the unjust. For if you love them that love you, what reward shall you have? do not even the publicans this? And if you salute your brethren only, what do you more? do not also the heathens this? Be you therefore perfect, as also your heavenly Father is perfect.
OFFERTORY Ps. 20.3,4
Thou hast given him his heart's desire, O Lord, and hast not withholden from him the will of his lips: thou hast set on his head a crown of precious stones.
