LESSON Wis. 5.16-20.

The just shall live for evermore: and their reward is with the Lord, and the care of them with the most High. Therefore shall they receive a kingdom of glory, and a crown of beauty at the hand of the Lord: for with his right hand he will cover them, and with his holy arm he will defend them. And his zeal will take armour, and he will arm the creature for the revenge of his enemies. He will put on justice as a breastplate, and will take true judgment instead of a helmet: He will take equity for an invincible shield.

Our soul hath been delivered, as a sparrow, out of the snare of the hunters. V. The snare is broken, and we are delivered: our help is in the name of the Lord, who made Heaven and earth.

Alleluia, alleluia. V. Let the just feast, and rejoice before God; and be delighted with gladness. Alleluia.

+ The Continuation of the Holy Gospel according to Luke (6.17-23)

At that time: Coming down with them, Jesus stood in a plain place: and the company of his disciples and a very great multitude of people from all Judea and Jerusalem and the sea coast, both of Tyre and Sidon, Who were come to hear him and to be healed of their diseases. And they that were troubled with unclean spirits were cured. And all the multitude sought to touch him: for virtue went out from him and healed all. And he, lifting up his eyes on his disciples, said: Blessed are ye poor: for yours is the kingdom of God. Blessed are ye that hunger now: for you shall be filled. Blessed are ye that weep now: for you shall laugh. Blessed shall you be when men shall hate you, and when they shall separate you and shall reproach you and cast out your name as evil, for the Son of man's sake. Be glad in that day and rejoice: for behold, your reward is great in heaven, For according to these things did their fathers to the prophets.

The saints shall rejoice in glory, they shall be joyful in their beds: the high praises of God shall be in their mouths.
