LESSON Acts 8.5-8

IN those days, Philip, going down to the city of Samaria, preached Christ unto them. And the people with one accord were attentive to those things which were said by Philip, hearing, and seeing the miracles which he did. For many of them who had un-clean spirits, crying with a loud voice, went out. And many, taken with the palsy, and that were lame, were healed. So there was great joy in that city.

Alleluia, alleluia. V. Ps. 103.30 Send forth thy Spirit and they shall be created, and thou shalt renew the face of the earth. Alle-luia. (All kneel.) V. Come, Holy Spirit, fill the hearts of thy faith-ful, and kindle in them the fire of thy love.

SEQUENCE

As on Pentecost.

+ The Continuation of the Holy Gospel according to Luke (9.1-6)

AT that time, Then calling together the twelve apostles, he gave them power and authority over all devils and to cure diseases. And he sent them to preach the kingdom of God and to heal the sick. And he said to them: Take nothing for your journey, neither staff, nor scrip, nor bread, nor money; neither have two coats. And whatsoever house you shall enter into, abide there and depart not from thence. And whosoever will not receive you, when ye go out of that city, shake off even the dust of your feet, for a testimony against them. And going out, they went about through the towns, preach-ing the Gospel and healing every where. 

The Creed is said.
