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. 111.9,2.

He hath distributed, he hath given to the poor: his justice remaineth for ever and ever. His seed shall be mighty upon earth: the generation of the righteous shall be blessed.

Alleluia, alleluia. V. O holy Joachim, spouse of Saint Anne, help now thy servants to save their souls. Alleluia.
