EPISTLE Wis. 3.1-8

The souls of the just are in the hand of God, and the torment of death shall not touch them. In the sight of the unwise they seemed to die: and their departure was taken for misery: And their going away from us, for utter destruction: but they are in peace. And though in the sight of men they suffered torments, their hope is full of immortality. Afflicted in few things, in many they shall be well rewarded: because God hath tried them, and found them worthy of himself. As gold in the furnace he hath proved them, and as a victim of a holocaust he hath received them, and in time there shall be respect had to them. The just shall shine, and shall run to and fro like sparks among the reeds. They shall judge nations, and rule over people, and their Lord shall reign for ever.

GRADUAL Ps. 149.5,1.

The saints shall rejoice in glory: they shall be joyful in their beds. Sing ye to the Lord a new canticle: let his praise be in the church of the saints.

Alleluia, alleluia. V. Ps. 88.21. Thy saints shall bless thee, O Lord, they shall speak of the glory of thy Kingdom. Alleluia.

+ The Continuation of the Holy Gospel according to Luke (10.16-20)

At that time, Jesus said to his disciples: He that heareth you, heareth me; and he that despiseth you, despiseth me; and he that despiseth me, despiseth him that sent me. And the seventy-two returned with joy, saying: Lord, the devils also are subject to us in thy name. And he said to them: I saw Satan like lightening falling from heaven. Behold, I have given you power to tread upon serpents and scorpions, and upon all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall hurt you. But yet rejoice not in this, that spirits are subject unto you; but rejoice in this, that your names are written in heaven.

OFFERTORY Ps. 67.36

God is wonderful in his Saints; the God of Israel is he who will give power and strength to his people: blessed be God.

As the gifts we lay before thee, O Lord, in honor of thy Saints bear witness to the glory of thy divine power: so may they win for us the fruits of thy salvation. Through.
