Of
the Angels
The Collect
Grant the
perpetual help of thy mercy, O Lord, unto us, to whom thou hast granted not to
lack the ministrations' of angels. Through Jesus
Christ our Lord who with Thee and the Holy Ghost, livith reigneth one God unto
the ages or ages. Amen!
The Lesson. Apoc. xix. 9-10
In those days
the Angel saith unto me, Write, Blessed are they which are called unto the
marriage supper of the Lamb. And he saith unto me, These are the true sayings
of God. And I fell at his feet to worship him. And he said unto me, See thou do
it not: I am thy fellowservant, and of thy brethren that have the testimony of
Jesus: worship God: for the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.
The Gospel. John v. 1-4
At that time, there was a feast of the Jews; and Jesus went up to
Jerusalem. Now there is at Jerusalem by the
sheep market a pool, which is called in the Hebrew tongue Bethesda , having five porches. In these lay a
great multitude of impotent folk, of blind, halt, withered, waiting for the
moving of the water. For an angel went down at a certain season into the pool,
and troubled the water: whosoever then first after the troubling of the water
stepped in was made whole of whatsoever disease he had.
Of
the Holy Ghost
The Collect
God, who as at
this time didst teach the hearts of thy faithful people by the sending to them
the light of thy Holy Spirit, grant us by the same Spirit to have a right
judgment in all
things, and evermore to rejoice in his comfort. Through Jesus Christ our Lord
who with Thee and the Holy Ghost, livith reigneth one God unto the ages or
ages. Amen!
The Lesson. Acts viii.
14-17
In those days,
when the apostles which were at Jerusalem heard that Samaria had received the
word of God, they sent unto them Peter and John: Who, when they were come down,
prayed for them, that they might receive the Holy Ghost: (For as yet he was
fallen upon none of them: only they were baptized in the name of the Lord
Jesus.) Then laid they their hands on them, and they received the Holy Ghost.
The Gospel. John xiv.
23-31.
At that time
Jesus said unto his disciples: If ye love me, keep my commandments. And I will
pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide
with you for ever; even the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive,
because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth
with you, and shall be in you. I will not leave you comfortless; I will come to
you. Yet a little while, and the world seeth me no more; but ye see me: because
I live, ye shall live also. At that day ye shall know, that I am in my Father,
and ye in me, and I in you. He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he
it is that loveth me; and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I
will love him, and will manifest myself to him. Judas saith unto him, (not
Iscariot): Lord, how is it that thou wilt manifest thyself unto us, and not
unto the world? Jesus answered and said unto him: If a man love me, he will
keep my words, and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make
our abode with him: he that loveth me not keepeth not my sayings. And the word
which ye hear is not mine, but the Father's which sent me. These things have I
spoken unto you, being yet present with you. But the Comforter, which is the
Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my Name, he shall teach you all
things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto
you. Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth,
give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid. Ye
have heard how I said unto you: I go away, and come again unto you. If ye loved
me, ye would rejoice, because I said, I go unto the Father; for my Father is
greater than I. And now I have told you before it come to pass: that, when it
is come to pass, ye might believe. Hereafter I will not talk much with you: for
the Prince of this world cometh, and hath nothing in me. But that the world may
know that I love the Father, and as the Father gave me commandment, even so I
do.
