On either Sunday or Weekdays, the Collects continue: Grant, we beseech Thee, O Lord God, that we Thy servants may enjoy continual health of mind and body; and through the glorious intercession of the blessed ever-Virgin Mary, may be delivered from present sorrow, and may have the fruition of everlasting joy.

(Here may be added up to three more Collects, as the Celebrant wishes, so that the total number of Collects is an odd number not exceeding seven.

Through all the ages of ages. ^ . Amen. The Epistle (except from. Wednesday to Friday, which are given below): A Reading from ithe First Epistle of blessed John the Apostle: Dearly beloved: God is Love. In this was manifested the Love of God toward us, because that God sent His Only-Begotten Son into the world, that we might live through Him. Herein is Love, mot that we loved God, but that He loved us, and sent His Son to be the Propitiation for our sins. Beloved, if God so loved us, we ought also to love one another. No man hath seen God at any time. If we love one another, God dwelleth in us, and His Love is Perfected in us. Hereby know we that we dwell in Him, and He in us, because He hath given us of His Spirit. And we have seen and do testify that the Father sent the Son to be the Saviour of the world. Whosoever shall confess that Jesus is the Son of God, God dwelleth in him, and he in God. And we have known and believed the Love That God hath to us. God is Love; and he that dwelleth in Love dwelleth in God, and God in him. Herein is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the Day of Judgment; because as He is, so are we in this world. There is no fear in Love; but Perfect Love casteth out fear; because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in Love. We love Him, because He first loved us. If a man say, "I love God," and hateth his brother, he is a liar; for he that loveth not his brol:her whom he hath seen, how can he love God Whom he hath not seen? And this commandment have we from Him: "That he who loveth God love his brother also." (1 John 4: 8 - 21) ^l. Thanks be to God. The Gradual: I said, "Lord, have mercy upon me; heal my soul for I have sinned against Thee." y. Blessed is he that considereth the destitute and needy; the Lord shall deliver him in the time of trouble.

Thee."

I said, "Lord, have mercy upon me; heal my soul for I have sinned against ;

The Alleluya: \ Alleluya. Alleluya. y. O ponder Thou my words, O Lord; consider my meditation. Alleluya. The Gospel (except from. Wednesday to Friday, which are given below): y. The Lord bt: with ycu. 1^. And with thy spirit, y. The Holy Gospel according to Luke. 1^. Glory be to Thee, O Lord. At that time, Jesus said unto His disciples: "There was a certain ricli man, which was clothed in purple and fine linen, and fared sumptuously every day; "And there was a certain iieggar named Lazarus, which was laid at his gate, full of sores, "And desiring to be fed wiith the crumbs which fell from the rich man's table; moreover the dogfi came and licked his sores. "And it came to pass, thai the beggar died, and was carried by the angels into Abraham's bosom; Ithe rich man also died, and was buried; "And in hell he lift up his eyes, being in torments, and seeth Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom. 'And he cried and said, 'Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my tongue; for I am tormented in this flame.' "But Abraham said, 'Son, remember that thou in thy lifetime receivedst thy good things, and likewise Laxarus evil things; but now he is comforted, and thou art tormented. " 'And beside all this, between us and you there is a great gulf fixed; so that they which would pass from hence to you cannot; neither can they pass to us, that would come from thence,' "Then he said, '1 pray thee therefore. Father, that thou wouldest send him to my father's house; " 'For I have five brethren; that he may testify unto them, lest they also come into this place of torment.' "Abraham saith unto him, 'They have Moses and the Prophets; let them hear them.' "And he said, 'Nay, Father Abraham; but if one went unto them from the dead, they will repent.' "And he said unto him, 'If they hear not Moses and the Prophets, neither will they be persuaded, though one rose from the dead.' " (Luke 16: 19 - 31) H^. Praise be to Thee, O Christ. The Creed (which is sung at this Mass only on a Sunday): The Celebrant: I believe in One God, All: The Father Almighty, Maker of Heaven and Earth, and of all things visible and invisible; And in One Lord Jesus Christ, the Only-Begotten Son of God; Begotten of His Father before all worlds; God of God, Light of Light, Very God of Very God; Begotten, not made. Being of One Substance with the Father; By Whom all thing were made; Who, for us men and for our salvation, came down from Heaven; And was Incarnate by the Holy Ghost of the Virgin Mary; And was Made Man; And was Crucified also for us under Pontius Pilate. He suffered and was Buried; And the third day He rose again according to the Scriptures; And ascended into Heaven; And sitteth on the Right Hand of the Father. And He shall come again with Glory to judge both the quick and the dead; Whose Kingdom shall have no end. And I believe in the Holy Ghost, the Lord, the Giver of life; Who proceedeth from the Father; Who, with the Father and the Son is Worshipped and Glorified, Who spake by the Prophets. And I believe One, Holy, Catholic, and Apostolic Church. I acknowledge one Baptism for the remission of sins. And I look for the Resurrection of the dead, And the life of the world > i to come. Amen.

(Here a Sermon may be given.) The Offertory: y. The Lord be with you. F^. And with thy spirit. y. Let us pray. O hearlien Thou unto the voice of my calling, My King, and My God; for unto Thee will I make my prayer, O Lord. y. Ponder my words, O Lord, consider my meditation, and hear me. My King, and My God, for unto Thee will I make my prayer, O Lord. y. Make my way plain before Thy Face, and let all them that put their trust in Thee rejoice, O Lord; they shall ever be giving of thanks that love Thy Name, O Lord. My King, and My God, for unto Thee will I make my prayer, O Lord. While the Celebrant says some Offertory prayers quietly, a Hymn from ancient sources is now sung, most usually the Hymn: "Come, Holy Ghost." which is given in the Mass book. At the end of the Hymn, the people may join the Clergy in reciting the response to the Epiclesis prayer, as follows: Celebrant: Brothers and sisters, pray for me, that my and your sacrifice may be alike acceptable unto the Lord Our God. All: May the grace of the Holy Ghost illuminate thy heart and thy lips, that the Lord may deign to accept this sacrifice of praise at thy hands, for our sins and offences. The Secrets (to be said quietly by the Celebrant): y. Let us pray. O God, Who renewest us who are created after Thine Own Image, both by the Sacraments and by precepts, mercifully accept the prayers and gifts of Thy suppliants, that, what trust in their own merits cannot secure, these propitiatory offerings may obtain for them. Through Our Lord Jesus Christ, Thy Son, Who liveth and reigneth with Thee, in the unity of the Holy Ghost, God, y. Through all the ages of ages. Amen. y. Let us pray,. (Here are added any special Secrets of commemoration. Then are added the following Secrets:) On Sunday only, the following Secret of the Holy Trinity is to be added: Sanctify, we beseech Thee, O Lord God, Holy Trinity, through the invocation of Thy Holy Name, the offering of This Oblation; and through It perfect us ourselves to be an eternal gift unto Thee. On Weekdays, the following Secret of the Holy Cross replaces the Collect above: We beseech Thee, O Lord, that This Sacrifice may purify us from all sin, Which, having been offered upon the Altar of the Cross, did bear lihe offences even of the whole world. On either Sunday or Weekdays, the Secrets continue: By Thy mercy, O Lord, and by the intercession of the ever-Virgin Mary, may This Oblation avail to our everlasting and present prosperity and peace. Graciously receive, O Lord, the gifts which we offer; and through the intercession of Mary., the blessed, and glorious, and ever-Virgin God-Bearer, together with all Thy Saints, defend us from every danger. (The following Secret for the Church should be added only if the Celebrant added the Collect for the Church among the Collects beforehand:) Protect us, O Lord, we beseech Thee, as we wait upon Thy Mysteries; that adhering to Things Divine we may serve Thee both in body and soul. (Here may be added up to three more Secrets, corresponding to the Collects the Celebrant added beforehand, so that the total number of Secrets is an odd number not exceeding seven. The Secrets are then concluded as follows:)

Through (the Same) Our Lord Jesus Christ, Thy Son, Who liveth and reigneth with Thee, in the unity of the Holy Ghost, God, y. Through all the ages of ages. I^. Amen, y. The Lord be with you. ly. And with thy spirit, y. Lift up your hearts. F^. We lift them up unto the Lord, y. Let us give thanks unto Our Lord God. I^. It is meet and right so to do. The Preface: y. It is very meet and just, right and available for our salvation, that we should at all times and in all places give thanks unto Thee, O Lord, Holy Father, Almighty and Everlasting God. Of Whose fashioning it is that we have been made; of Whose gift it is that we are alive; of Whose loving-kindness it is that we therefore recognize these gifts. For however much Thy Nature may have been transgressed by our wounding of sinfulness, nevertheless It is Borne onwards from earthly to heavenly things by Thine unwavering generosity. Through Christ Our Lord. Through Whom Angels praise Thy Majesty, Dominions adore. Powers tremble. The Heavens, and the heavenly Virtues, and the blessed Seraphim unite in one glad voice in extolling Thee. Together with whom, we pray Thee, that Thou wouldest command that our voices should have entrance, humbly confessing Thee, and saying: The Sanctus (to be chanted by all): Holy, Holy, Holy, Lord God of Sabaoth. Heaven and Earth are full of Thy Glory. Hosanna in the liighest. Blessed is He if That cometh in the Name of the Lord. Hosanna in the highest! Now, while the Celebrant chants the prayers of the Canon of the Mass in a low "muttered" tone, a Hymn from ancient sources is sung, most usually the Hymn: "Let all mortal flesh" which is given in the Mass book. After the Canon and the Hymn are completed, the Celebrant begins the chant: y. Through all the ages of ages. 1^. Amen. y. Let us pray. Admonished by saving precepts, and guided by divine institution, we make bold to say: F^Our Father, Who art in Heaven, Hallowed be Thy Name; Thy Kingdom come; Thy Will be Done, on Earth, as It is in Heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those that trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation; But deliver us from evil. Amen. Then the Celebrant continues the chant of the Embolism: y. Deliver us, we beseech Thee, O Lord, from all evils, past, present, future, and, at the Intercession of the blessed and glorious and ever-virgin Birth-Giver of God, Mary, and of Thy blessed Apostles Peter and Paul; and Andrew, (and Saint N.,) with all the Saints, graciously give peace in our days, that, aided by the help of Thy loving-kindness, we may both be ever free from sin, and secure from all disquietude.

y. And may He Who granted heavenly delights in the bosom of Abraham to Lazarus, who once was poor, take away from you the deceits of the devil. ^ . Amen. y. That, after the close of the present age, ye may not fear the assault of the devil, but with Lazarus who was aforetime a beggar, ye may take delight in the company of eternal rest. IV Amen. y. Which may He deign to grant. Whose Kingdom and Power remain without end, unto the ages of ages. 1 ^ . Amen. y.

O Lamb of Godj That takest away the sins of the world, have mercy upon us. 0 Lamb of God, That takest away the sins of the world, grant us Thy Peace. (Here the Kiss of Peace shall be brought from the Sanctuary by one of the Clergy who will offer the Peace-1 con of Our Lord to be kissed, saying auietly to each person: y . Peace be unto Thee and unto the Church of God. ^ . And with thy spirit.) The Communion (to be chanted by All): 1 will speak of all Thy marvellous works, O Lord; I will be glad, and rejoice in Thee; yea, m j songs will I make of Thy Name, O Most Highest. Ps. While mine enemies are driven back, they shall fall and perish at Thy Presence.

And the Apostles said unto the Lord, "Increase our Faith." And the Lord said, "If ye had Faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye might say unto this sycamine tree, 'Be thou plucked up by the root, and be thou planted in the sea; and it should obey you.' "But which of you, having a servant plowing or feeding cattle, will say unto him by and by, when he is come from the field, 'Go and sit down to meat?' And will not rather say unto him, 'Make ready wherewith I may sup, and gird thyself, and serve me, till I have eaten and drunken; and afterward thou shalt eat and drink?' "Doth he thank that servant because he did the things that were commanded him? I trow not. "So likewise ye, when ye shall have done all those things which are commanded you, say, 'We are unprofitable servants; we have done that which was our duty to do.' " (Luke 17: 1 - 10) ^.
