GOSPEL. Luke xvii. 11, 19. As Jesus was going to Jerusalem, he passed through the midst of Samaria and Galilee. And as he en tered into a certain town, there met him ten refi that were lepers, who stood afar off; and lifted up their voice, saying: Jesus, Master, have mercy on us. Whom when he saw he said: Go, shew your selves to the priests. And it came to pass, that as they went, they were made clean. And one of them when he saw that he was made clean, went back, with a loud voice glorifying God. And he fell on his face before his feet, giving thanks; and this And Jesus answering said Were not ten made clean, and where are the nine There is no one found to return and give glory to God, but this stranger. And he said to him; Arise, go thy way; for thy faith hath made thee whole, The Creed.

EPISTLE. Gal. v. 16, 24. in the spirit, and you shall not fulfil the lusts of the flesh. For the flesh lusteth against the spirit; and the spirit against the flesh; for these are contrary one to another: so that you do not the things that you would. But if you are led by the spirit, you are not under the law. Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are, fornication, uncleanness, immodesty, luxury, idolatry, witchcrafts, enmities, contentions, emulations, wraths, quarrels, dissensions, sects, envy, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like. Of the which I foretell you, as I have foretold to you, that they who do such things shall not obtain the kingdom of God. But the fruit of the spirit is charity, joy, peace, patience, benignity, goodness, longanimity, mildness, faith, modesty, continency, chastity. Against such there is no law. And they that are Christ's, have crucified their flesh with the vices and concupiscences.

GRAD. Ps. cxvii. It is better to trust in the Lord, than to trust in man. V. It is better to hope in the Lord, than to hope in princes. Alleluia. V. Come let us rejoice in the Lord; let us joyfully sing to God our Saviour. Alleluia.

Jesus said to his disciples: No man can serve two masters. For either he will hate the one, and love the other; or he will sustain the one, and despise the other. You cannot serve God and maminon. Therefore I say to you, be not solicitous for your life, what you shall eat, nor for your body, what Is not the life more than the you shall put on. meat, and the body more than the raiment? Behold the birds of the air, for they neither sow, nor they reap, nor gather into barns, and your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are not you of much more value than they? And which of you by taking thought, can add to his stature one cubit? And for raiment why are you solicitous? Consider the likes of the field how they grow: they labour not, nei ther do they spin. But I say to you, that not even Solomon in all his glory was arrayed as one And if the grass of the fleld, which is to-day and tomorrow is cast into the oven, God doth so cloathe: how much more you. O ye of little faith. Be not solicitous therefore, saying, what shall we eat, of what shall we drink, or wherewith shall we be cloathed? For after all these things do the heathens For your Father knoweth that you have need of all these things. Seek ye therefore first the kingdom of God, and his justice, and all these things shall be be added unto you. The Creed. OFFERT. Ps. xxxiii.

EPISTLE. Gal. v. 25. vi. 1. 10. If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit. Let us not be made desirous of vain glory, provoking one another, envying one another. (Chap. vi.) Brethren, if a man be overtaken in any fault, you, who are spiritual, instruct such a one in the spirit of meekness, considering thyself, lest thou also be tempted. Bear ye one another's burdens and so you shall fulfil the law of Christ. For if any man think himself to be something, whereas he is nothing, be deceiveth himself. But let every one prove his own work, and so he shall have glory in himself only, and not in another. For every one shall bear his own burden. And let him, that is instructed in the word, communicate to him, that instructeth him, in all good things. Be not deceived, God is not mocked. For what things a man shall sow, those also shall he reap. For he that soweth in his flesh, of the flesh also shall reap corruption. But he, that soweth in the spirit, of the spirit shall reap life everlasting. And in doing good, let us not fail. For in due time we shall reap not failing. Therefore,

whilst we have time, let us work good to all men, but especially to those who are of the household of the faith.
