EPISTLE I Cor. 10. 6-13
Brethren, Let us not covet evil things, as they also coveted. Neither become ye idolaters, as some of them: as it is written: The people sat down to eat and drink, and rose up to play. Neither let us commit fornication, as some of them committed fornication, and there fell in one day three and twenty thousand. Neither let us tempt Christ, as some of them tempted, and perished by the serpents. Neither do you murmur, as some of them murmured, and were destroyed by the destroyer. Now all these things happened to them in figure, and they are written for our correction, upon whom the ends of the world are come. Wherefore he that thinketh himself to stand, let him take heed lest he fall. Let no temptation take hold on you, but such as is human: and God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that which you are able; but will make also with temptation issue, that you may be able to bear it.
GRADUAL Ps. 8. 2
O Lord, our Lord, how admirable is thy Name in the whole earth. V.: For thy magnificence is elevated above the heavens.
Alleluia, alleluia. V. Ps. 58.2. Deliver me from mine enemies, O my God: and defend me from them that rise up against me. Alleluia.
+ The Continuation of the Holy Gospel according to Luke (19. 41-47)
At that time, when Jesus drew near to Jerusalem, seeing the city, he wept over it, saying: If thou also hadst known, and that in this thy day, the things that are to thy peace: but now they are hidden from thy eyes. For the days shall come upon thee, and thine enemies shall cast a trench about thee, and compass thee round, and straiten thee on every side; and beat thee flat to the ground, and thy children who are in thee; and they shall not leave in thee a stone upon a stone, because thou hast not known the time of thy visitation. And entering into the temple, he began to cast out them that sold therein, and them that bought, saying to them: It is written, My house is an house of prayer, but you have made it a den of theives. And he was teaching daily in the temple.
Creed.
OFFERTORY Ps. 18. 9-12
The justices of the Lord are right, rejoicing hearts, and his judgments sweeter than honey and the honey comb: for thy servant keepeth them.
SECRET
Grant to us, we beseech thee, O Lord, that we may worthily frequent these Mys-teries: for as often as the memorial of this Victim is celebrated, the work of our redemption is wrought. Through.

EPISTLE I Tim. 6.6-12
Dearly beloved: Godliness with contentment is great gain. For we brought nothing into this world: and certainly we can carry nothing out. But having food, and wherewith to be covered, with these we are content. For they that will become rich, fall into temptation, and into the snare of the devil, and into many unprofitable and hurtful desires, which drown men into destruction and perdition. For the desire of money is the root of all evils; which some coveting have erred from the faith, and have entangled themselves in many sorrows. But thou, O man of God, fly these things: and pursue justice, godliness, faith, charity, patience, mildness. Fight the good fight of faith: lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art called, and hast confessed a good confession before many witnesses.
GRADUAL Ps. 91.13,14,3
The just shall flourish like the palm tree: he shall grow up like the cedar of Libanus in the house of the Lord. To show forth thy mercy in the morning, and thy truth in the night.
Alleluia, alleluia. V. James 1.12. Blessed is the man that endureth temptation, for when he hath been proved, he shall receive the crown of life. Alleluia.
+ The Continuation of the Holy Gospel according to Matthew (19.27-29)
At that time: Peter answering, said unto to Jesus: Behold we have left all things, and have followed thee: what therefore shall we have? And Jesus said to them: Amen I say to you, that you who have followed me, in the regeneration, when the Son of man shall sit on the seat of his majesty, you also shall sit on twelve seats judging the twelve tribes of Israel. And every one that hath left house, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands for my name's sake, shall receive an hundredfold, and shall possess life everlasting.
OFFERTORY Ps. 88.25.
My truth and my mercy shall be with him: and in my Name shall his horn be exalted.
