COLLECT
Who in the heart of blessed Andrew thy Confessor didst effect wondrous upsurging to thyself as he kept his arduous vow to make daily progress in virtue: through his merits and intercession deign to let us share in his graces, that we too may follow the more perfect path, and with thee as guide, happily attain the height of thy glory. Through.
Grant, we beseech thee, O Lord, that we may ever keep with rejoicing on the feast of thy holy Martyrs Tryphon, Respicius, and Nympha: and that through their intercession we may enjoy the gift of thy protection. Through.
LESSON 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 his 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. 91.13,14.
The just shall flourish like the palm tree: he shall grow up like the cedar of Libanus in the house of the Lord.

+ The Continuation of the Holy Gospel according to Luke (12.35-40)
At that time, Jesus said to his disciples: Let your loins be girt, and lamps burning in your hands. And you yourselves like to men who wait for their lord, when he shall return from the wedding; that when he cometh and knocketh, they may open to him immediately. Blessed are those servants, whom the lord when he cometh, shall find watching. Amen I say to you, that he will gird himself, and make them sit down to meat, and passing will minister unto them. And if he shall come in the second watch, or come in the third watch, and find them so, blessed are those servants. But this know ye, that if the householder did know at what hour the thief would come, he would surely watch, and would not suffer his house to be broken open. Be you then also ready: for at what hour you think not, the Son of Man will come.
OFFERTORY Ps. 88.25.
My truth and my mercy shall be with him, and in my Name shall his horn be exalted.
