St. Basil the Great
(Bishop of
Caesarea)
June 14
The Collect.
ALMIGHTY, everlasting God, whose
servant Basil steadfastly confessed thy Son our Saviour Jesus Christ to be Very
God and Very Man: Grant that we may hold fast to this faith, and evermore
magnify his holy Name; through the same thy Son Jesus Christ our Lord, who liveth
and reigneth with thee and the Holy Spirit ever, one God, world without end.
Amen.
The Epistle, i Corinthians 2:6-13.
HOWBEIT we speak wisdom among them
that are perfect: yet not the wisdom of this world, nor of the princes of this
world, that come to nought: but we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, even the
hidden wisdom which God ordained before the world unto our glory: which none of
the princes of this world knew: for had they
known it, they would not have
crucified the Lord of glory. But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear
heard, Neither have entered into the heart of man, The things which God hath prepared
for them that love him. But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for
the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God. For what man knoweth
the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him? even so the things
of God knoweth no man, but the Spirit of God. Now we have received, not the spirit
of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things
that are freely given to us of God. Which things also we speak, not in the
words which man's wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teach-eth; comparing
spiritual things with spiritual.
The Gospel. St. Luke 10:22-24.
JESUS said, All things are delivered
to me of my Father; and no man knoweth who the Son is, but the Father; and who
the Father is, but the Son, and he to whom the Son will reveal him. And he
turned him unto his disciples, ai1" said privately, Blessed are the eyes
which see the things that ye see: for I tell you, that many prophets and kings have
desired to see those things which ye see, and have not seen them; and to hear
those things which ye hear, and have no heard them.
Joseph Butler
(Bishop of
Durham)
June 16
The Collect.
O GOD, who hast enlightened thy
Church by the teaching of thy servant Joseph Butler: Enrich us evermore, we
beseech thee, with thy heavenly grace, and raise up faithful witnesses who by
they life and doctrine will set forth the truth of thy salvation; through Jesus
Christ our Lord. Amen.
St. Ephrem of Edessa
(Deacon)
June 18
The Collect.
ALMIGHTY God, who hast enriched thy
Church with the singular learning and holiness of thy Deacon Ephrem: Grant us
to hold fast the true doctrine of thy Son our Saviour Jesus Christ, and to fashion
our lives according to the same, to the glory of thy great Name and the benefit
of thy holy Church; through the same Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
