The Introit Psalm 119 XVI. Feci judicium.

I DEAL with the thing that is lawful and right; * O give me not over unto mine oppressors.
    122 Make thou thy servant to delight in that which is good, * that the proud do me no wrong.
    123 Mine eyes are wasted away with looking for thy health, * and for the word of thy righteousness.
    124 O deal with thy servant according unto thy loving mercy, * and teach me thy statutes.
    125 I am thy servant; O grant me understanding, * that I may know thy testimonies.
    126 It is time for thee, LORD, to lay to thine hand; * for they have destroyed thy law.

    127 For I love thy commandments * above gold and precious stones.
    128 Therefore hold I straight all thy commandments; * and all false ways I utterly abhor.

The Collect.

OLORD, we beseech thee, let thy continual pity cleanse and defend thy Church; and, because it cannot continue in safety without thy succour, preserve it evermore by thy help and goodness; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

The Epistle. Ephes. iii. 13.

IDESIRE that ye faint not at my tribulations for you, which is your glory. For this cause I bow my knees unto the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, of whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named, that he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with might by his Spirit in the inner man; that Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being rooted and grounded in love, may be able to comprehend with all saints what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height; and to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fulness of God. Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, ac cording to the power that worketh in us, unto him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus throughout all ages, world without end. Amen.

The Gradual   Ps 146:7-9   

The Lord looseth men out of prison: / the Lord giveth sight to the blind.
8 The Lord raiseth up them that are fallen: / the Lord loveth the righteous.
9 The Lord careth for the strangers; he upholdeth the fatherless and widow: / as for the way of the ungodly, he turneth it upside down.

The Alleluia Ps 146:10     

Alleluia! Alleluia! The Lord thy God, O Sion shal be King for evermore, * and throughout all generations Alleluia!  

The Gospel. St. Luke vii. 11.

AND it came to pass the day after, that Jesus went into a city called Nain; and many of his disciples went with him, and much people. Now when he came nigh to the gate of the city, behold, there was a dead man carried out, the only son of his mother, and she was a widow: and much people of the city was with her. And when the Lord saw her, he had compassion on her, and said unto her, Weep not. And he came and touched the bier: an they that bare him stood still. And he said, Young man, I say unto thee, Arise. And he that was dead sat up, and began to speak. And he delivered him to his mother. And there came a fear on all: and they glorified God, saying, That a great prophet is risen up among us; and, That God hath visited his people. And this rumour of him went forth through out all Judæa, and throughout all the region round about.

Holy Communion

The Epistle  Col. ii. 8-13

Brethren, beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ. For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily. And ye are complete in him, which is the head of all principality and power: In whom also ye are circumcised with the circumcision made without hands, in putting off the body of the sins of the flesh by the circumcision of Christ: Buried with him in baptism, wherein also ye are risen with him through the faith of the operation of God, who hath raised him from the dead. And you, being dead in your sins and the uncircumcision of your flesh, hath he quickened together with him, having forgiven you all trespasses, through Jesus Christ our Lord.

The Gospel  Mark viii. 22-26

At that time, Jesus cometh to Bethsaida; and they bring a blind man unto him, and besought him to touch him. And he took the blind man by the hand, and led him out of the town; and when he had spit on his eyes, and put his hands upon him, he asked him if he saw ought. And he looked up, and said, I see men as trees, walking. After that he put his hands again upon his eyes, and made him look up: and he was restored, and saw every man clearly. And he sent him away to his house, saying, Neither go into the town, nor tell it to any in the town.
