The Introit Psalm
119 XI. Defecit anima mea.
MY soul hath longed for thy
salvation, * and I have a good hope because of thy word.
82 Mine eyes long sore for thy word; * saying, O when wilt
thou comfort me?
83 For I am become like a bottle in the smoke; * yet do I
not forget thy statutes.
84 How many are the days of thy servant? * when wilt thou be
avenged of them that persecute me?
85 The proud have digged pits for me, * which are not after
thy law.
86 All thy commandments are true: * they persecute me
falsely; O be thou my help.
87 They had almost made an end of me upon earth; * but I
forsook not thy commandments.
88 O quicken me after thy loving-kindness; * and so shall I
keep the testimonies of thy mouth.
The Collect.
OGOD, who declarest thy almighty power chiefly* in showing mercy
and pity; Mercifully grant unto us such a measure of thy grace, that we,
running the way of thy commandments, may obtain thy gracious promises, and be
made partakers of thy heavenly treasure; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
The Epistle. 1 Cor. xv. 1.
BRETHREN, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you,
which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; by which also ye are saved,
if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain.
For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that
Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; and that he was buried,
and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures: and that he
was seen of Cephas, then of the twelve: after that, he was seen of above five
hundred brethren at once; of whom the greater part remain unto this present,
but some are fallen asleep. After that, he was seen of James; then of all the
apostles. And last of all he was seen of me also, as of one born out of due
time. For I am the least of the apostles, that am not meet to be called an
apostle, because I persecuted the church of God. But by the grace of God I am
what I am: and his grace which was bestowed upon me was not in vain; but I
laboured more abundantly than they all: yet not I, but the grace of God which
was with me. Therefore whether it were I or they, so we preach, and so ye
believed.
The Gradual Ps
51:15-16
O LORD,
open thou my lips, / and my mouth shall show thy praise.
16 For thou desirest no sacrifice, else would I give it; / but thou delightest
not in burnt offerings.
The Alleluia Ps 51:17
Alleluia! Alleluia! he sacrifice of God is a troubled spirit: / a
broken and contrite heart, O God, shalt thou not despise. Alleluia!
The Gospel. St. Luke xviii. 9.
JESUS spake this parable unto certain which trusted in themselves
that they were righteous, and despised others: Two men went up into the temple
to pray; the one a Pharisee, and the other a publican. The Pharisee stood and
prayed thus with himself, God, I thank thee that I am not as other men are,
extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even as this publican. I fast twice in the
week, I give tithes of all that I possess. And the publican, standing afar off,
would not lift up so much as his eyes unto heaven, but smote upon his breast,
saying, God be. merciful to me a sinner. I tell you, this man went down to his
house justified rather than the other: for every one that exalteth himself
shall be abased; and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted.

Holy
Communion
The Epistle 1 Cor. vi. 15-20
Brethren, know ye not that your bodies are the members
of Christ? shall I then take the members of Christ, and make them the members
of an harlot? God forbid. What? know ye not that he which is joined to an
harlot is one body? for two, saith he, shall be one flesh. But he that is
joined unto the Lord is one spirit. Flee fornication. Every sin that a man
doeth is without the body; but he that committeth fornication sinneth against
his own body. What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost
which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own? For ye are
bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit,
which are God’s.
The Gospel Luke xviii. 1-8
At that time, Jesus spake a parable unto his disciples
to this end, that men ought always to pray, and not to faint; Saying, There was
in a city a judge, which feared not God, neither regarded man: And there was a
widow in that city; and she came unto him, saying, Avenge me of mine adversary.
And he would not for a while: but afterward he said within himself, Though I
fear not God, nor regard man; Yet because this widow troubleth me, I will
avenge her, lest by her continual coming she weary me. And the Lord said, Hear
what the unjust judge saith. And shall not God avenge his own elect, which cry
day and night unto him, though he bear long with them? I tell you that he will
avenge them speedily.
