EPISTLE II Cor. 9.6-10

BRETHREN, he who soweth sparingly, shall also reap sparingly: and he who soweth in blessings, shall also reap of blessings. Everyone as he hath determined in his heart; not with sadness, or of necessity; for God loveth a cheerful giver. And God is able to make all grace abound in you; that ye, always having all sufficiency in all things, may abound to every good work; as it is written, He hath dispersed abroad, He hath given to the poor: His justice remaineth forever. And He that ministereth seed to the sower, will both give you bread to eat, and will multiply your seed, and increase the growth of the fruits of your justice.

GRADUAL Ps. 16.3

Thou hast proved my heart, O Lord, and visit it by night. Thou hast tried me by fire, and iniquity hath not been found in me.

Alleluia, Alleluia. V. The levite Lawrence wrought a good work, who by the Sign of the Cross gave sight to the blind. Alleluia.

+ The Continuation of the Holy Gospel according to John (12.24-26)

AT that time, Jesus said to his disciples: Amen, amen I say to you, unless the grain of wheat falling into the ground die, itself remaineth alone. But if it die, it bringeth forth much fruit. He that loveth his life shall lose it; and he that hateth his life in this world, keepeth it unto life eternal. If any man minister to me, let him follow me; and where I am, there also shall my minister be. If any man minister to me, him will my Father honour.

¶ The Creed is not said except on a Sunday or, with permission, in a Church dedicated to Saint Lawrence.

OFFERTORY Ps. 95.6

Praise and beauty are before him: holiness and majesty are in his sanctuary.

SECRET

O LORD, we beseech thee, graciously accept the oblations we offer to thee, and by the merits of blessed Lawrence pleading for us, grant that they may be a help to us for our salvation. Through.
