The awe of truth was in his mouth and iniquity was not found in his lips: he walked with me in peace, and in equity, and turned many away from iniquity. Ps. 77.1 Attend, O my people to my law; incline your ears to the words of my mouth. V. Glory be.

O God, who hast prepared for them that love thee such good things as pass understanding: pour into our hearts such love towards thee, that we, loving thee in all things, and above all things, may obtain thy promises which exceed all that we can desire. Through.

EPISTLE II Tim. 3.14-17; 4.1-5.

Dearly beloved: Continue thou in those things which thou hast learned, and which have been committed to thee: knowing of whom thou hast learned them; And because from thy infancy thou hast known the holy scriptures, which can instruct thee to salvation, by the faith which is in Christ Jesus. All scripture, inspired of God, is profitable to teach, to reprove, to correct, to instruct in justice, That the man of God may be perfect, furnished to every good work. I charge thee, before God and Jesus Christ, who shall judge the living and the dead, by his coming, and his kingdom: Preach the word: be instant in season, out of season: reprove, entreat, rebuke in all patience and doctrine. For there shall be a time, when they will not endure sound doctrine; but, according to their own desires, they will heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears: And will indeed turn away their hearing from the truth, but will be turned unto fables.

GRADUAL Ps. 121.8.

For my brethren's and my neighbors' sake I spoke peace concerning thee. V. Ps. 36.37. Keep innocence, and behold equity; for to a man who loveth peace there are things that remain over.

Alleluia, alleluia. V. Ecclus. 6.35. Stand the multitude of the prudent priest, and from thy heart join thyself to their wisdom, that thou mayest hear every discourse of God. Alleluia.

+ The Continuation of the Holy Gospel according to Matthew (10.28-33)

At that time, Jesus said to his disciples: Fear ye not them that kill the body, and are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him that can destroy both soul and body in hell. Are not two sparrows sold for a farthing? and not one of them shall fall on the ground without your Father. But the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear not therefore: better are you than many sparrows. Every one therefore that shall confess me before men, I will also confess him before my Father who is in heaven.

OFFERTORY Ecclus. 22.44.

My doctrine I shall make to shine for all like the dawn at morn, and will declare it afar off.

SECRET

O God, who sufferest not the nations who believe in thee to be overwhelmed by any terror: vouchsafe to receive the prayers and oblations of thy people that of thy mercy thou wouldst grant peace, and make safe the borders of Christendom against every enemy. Through.

Commemoration: Fourth Sunday after Trinity

Be merciful, O Lord, to our humble pleading: and favorably receive these offerings of thy servants and handmaidens, that what each of us has offered to the honor of thy Name, may profit us all unto salvation. Through.

COMMUNION Eccl. 24.47

See ye, that I have not labored for myself only but for all that seek out the truth.

POSTCOMMUNION

O God, the Author and Lover of peace, whom to know is to live, whom to serve is to reign, protect thy suppliant people from all assaults, that we who put our trust in thy defense, through the intercession of blessed Irenaeus, thy Martyr and Bishop, may not fear the power of any adversary. Through.

Commemoration: Fourth Sunday after Trinity

Grant, O Lord, we beseech thee, that we whom thou hast fed with the heavenly Gift, may be cleansed from our hidden sins and delivered from the snares of our enemies. Through.
