The Introit Psalm
119 XX. Vide
humilitatem.
O CONSIDER mine adversity, and
deliver me, * for I do not forget thy law.
154 Avenge thou my cause, and deliver me; * quicken me
according to thy word.
155 Health is far from the ungodly; * for they regard not
thy statutes.
156 Great is thy mercy, O LORD; * quicken me, as thou art
wont.
157 Many there are that trouble me, and persecute me; * yet
do I not swerve from thy testimonies.
158 It grieveth me when I see the transgressors; * because
they keep not thy law.
159 Consider, O LORD, how I love thy commandments; * O quicken me,
according to thy loving-kindness.
160 Thy word is true from everlasting; * all the judgments
of thy righteousness endure for evermore.
The Collect.
OALMIGHTY and most merciful God, of thy bountiful goodness keep us,
we beseech thee, from all things that may hurt us; that we, being ready both in
body and soul, may cheerfully accomplish those things which thou commandest;*
through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
The Epistle. Ephes. v. 15.
SEE then that ye walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise,
redeeming the time, be cause the days are evil. Wherefore be ye not unwise, but
under-standing what the will of the Lord is. And be not drunk with wine, where
in is excess; but be filled with the Spirit; speaking to yourselves in psalms
and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the
Lord; giving thanks always for all things unto God and the Father in the name
of our Lord Jesus Christ; submit ting yourselves one to another in the fear of
God.
The Gradual Ps
145:14-16
THE Lord is faithful in all his words, / and gracious in all his deeds.
15 The Lord upholdeth all such as fall, / and lifteth up all those that are
down.
16 The eyes of all wait upon thee, / and thou givest them their meat in due
season.
The Alleluia Ps 145:17
Alleluia! Alleluia! Thou openest thine hand, / and fillest all
things living with plenteousness. Alleluia!
The Gospel. St. Matt. xxii. 1.
JESUS said, The kingdom of heaven is like unto a certain king,
which made a marriage for his son, and sent forth his servants to call them
that were bidden to the wedding: and they would not come. Again, he sent forth
other servants saying, Tell them which are bidden, Behold, I have prepared my
dinner: my oxen and my fatlings are killed, and all things are ready: come unto
the marriage. But they made light of it, and went their ways, one to his farm,
another to his merchandise: and the remnant took his servants, and entreated
them spitefully, and slew them. But when the king heard thereof, he was wroth:
and he sent forth his armies, and destroyed those murderers, and burned up
their city. Then saith he to his servants, The wedding is ready, but they which
were bidden were not worthy. Go ye therefore into the highways, and as many as
ye shall find, bid to the marriage. So those servants went out into the
highways, and gathered together all as many. as they found, both bad and good:
and the wedding was furnished with guests. And when the king came in to see the
guests, he saw there a man which had not on a wedding garment: and he saith
unto him, Friend, how camest thou in hither not having a wedding garment? And
he was speechless. Then said the king to the servants, Bind him hand and foot,
and take him away, and cast him into outer darkness; there shall be weeping and
gnashing of teeth. For many are called, but few are chosen.

The Epistle 2 Tim. ii. 1-7
Dearly beloved, be strong in the grace that is in
Christ Jesus. And the things that thou hast heard of me among many witnesses,
the same commit thou to faithful men, who shall be able to teach others also.
Thou therefore endure hardness, as a good soldier of Jesus Christ. No man that warreth
entangleth himself with the affairs of this life; that he may please him who
hath chosen him to be a soldier. And if a man also strive for masteries, yet is
he not crowned, except he strive lawfully. The husbandman that laboureth must
be first partaker of the fruits. Consider what I say; and the Lord give thee
understanding in all things.
The Gospel Luke xiv. 12-15
At that time, Jesus said to a certain ruler of the
Pharisees, When thou makest a dinner or a supper, call not thy friends, nor thy
brethren, neither thy kinsmen, nor thy rich neighbours; lest they also bid thee
again, and a recompence be made thee. But when thou makest a feast, call the
poor, the maimed, the lame, the blind: And thou shalt be blessed; for they
cannot recompense thee: for thou shalt be recompensed at the resurrection of
the just. And when one of them that sat at meat with him heard these things, he
said unto him, Blessed is he that shall eat bread in the kingdom of God.
