O Lord Jesus Christ, who didst endow Saint Paul with exceeding charity to preach the mystery of the Cross, and didst will that through him a new family should spring up in thy Church, grant us, by his intercession, that, constantly venerating thy passion on earth, we may be worthy to partake of its fruits in heaven. Who livest and reignest.

EPISTLE I Cor. 1.17-25
Brethren: Christ sent me not to baptize, but to preach the gospel: not in wisdom of speech, lest the cross of Christ should be made void. For the word of the cross, to them indeed that perish, is foolishness: but to them that are saved, that is, to us, it is the power of God. For it is written: I will destroy the wisdom of the wise: and the prudence of the prudent I will reject. Where is the wise? Where is the scribe? Where is the disputer of this world? Hath not God made foolish the wisdom of this world? For, seeing that in the wisdom of God, the world, by wisdom, knew not God, it pleased God, by the foolishness of our preaching, to save them that believe. For both the Jews require signs: and the Greeks seek after wisdom. But we preach Christ crucified: unto the Jews indeed a stumblingblock, and unto the Gentiles foolishness: But unto them that are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ, the power of God and the wisdom of God. For the foolishness of God is wiser than men: and the weakness of God is stronger than men.
Alleluia, alleluia. V. II Cor. 5.15; Rom. 8.17 Christ died for all, in order that they who are alive may live no longer for themselves, but for him who died for them and rose again. Alleluia. V. But if we are sons, we are heirs also: heirs indeed of God and joint heirs with Christ, provided, however, we suffer with him that we may also be glorified with him. Alleluia.
+ The Continuation of the Holy Gospel according to Luke (10.1-9)
At that time, the Lord appointed also other seventy-two. And he sent them two and two before his face into every city and place whither he himself was to come. And he said to them: The harvest indeed is great, but the labourers are few. Pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest that he send labourers into his harvest. Go: Behold I send you as lambs among wolves. Carry neither purse, nor scrip, nor shoes: and salute no man by the way. Into whatever house you enter, first say: Peace be to this house. And if the son of peace be there, your peace shall rest upon him: but if not, it shall return to you. And in the same house, remain, eating and drinking such things as they have: for the labourer is worthy of his hire. Remove not from house to house. And into what city soever you enter, and they receive you, eat such things as are set before you. And heal the sick that are therein and say to them: The kingdom of God is come nigh unto you.
OFFERTORY Eph. 5.2
Walk in love, as Christ also love us and delivered himself up for us, an offering and a sacrifice to God to ascend in fragrant odor, alleluia.
SECRET
