COLECT 1
O God, who willest not the death of the sinner
but that he should repent: welcome with pardon
Thy people’s return to Thee: and so long as they
are faithful in Thy service, do Thou in Thy
clemency withdraw the scourge of Thy wrath.
Through our Lord Jesus Christ, Thy Son who
livest and reignest with Thee in the unity of the
Holy Spirit, One God, forever and ever. Amen.
COLECT 2
Grant, we beseech You, O Lord, that,
improved by wholesome fasting, and thus
abstaining from harmful sin, we may the
more readily receive Your mercy.
Through Jesus Christ, thy Son our Lord,
Who liveth and reigneth with thee…

IN diébus illis: Immísit Dóminus
pestiléntiam in Israel, de mane usque
ad tempus constitútum, et mórtui sunt
ex pópulo, a Dan usque ad Bersabée,
septuagínta millia virórum. Cumque
extendísset manum suam Angelus
Dómini super Jerúsalem, ut
dispérderet eam, misértus est
Dóminus super afflictióne, et ait
Angelo percutiénti pópulum:
Súfficit: nunc cóntine manum tuam.
Erat autem Angelus Dómini juxta
áream Aréuna Jebusáei. Dixítque
David ad Dóminum, cum vidísset
Angelum caedéntem pópulum: Ego
sum qui peccávi, ego iníque egi: isti,
qui oves sunt, quid fecérunt?
Vertátur, óbsecro, manus tua contra
me et contra domum patris mei. Venit
autem Gad Prophéta ad David in die
illa, et dixit ei: Ascénde, et constítue
altáre Dómino in área Aréuna
Jebusaei. Et ascéndit David juxta
sermónem Gad, quem praecéperat ei
Dóminus: et aedificávit altáre
Dómino, et óbtulit holocáusta et
pacífica: et propitiátus est Dóminus
terrae, et cohíbita est plaga ab Israel.

LESSON
In those days the Lord sent a pestilence
on Israel from that morning until the
appointed time; and seventy thousand of
the people died, from Dan to Beer-sheba.
But when the angel stretched out his hand
toward Jerusalem to destroy it, the Lord
relented concerning the evil, and said to
the angel who was bringing destruction
among the people, “It is enough; now
stay your hand.” The angel of the Lord
was then by the threshing floor of
Araunah the Jebusite. When David saw
the angel who was destroying the people,
he said to the Lord, “I alone have sinned,
and I alone have done wickedly; but these
sheep, what have they done? Let your
hand, I pray, be against me and against
my father’s house.” That day Gad came
to David and said to him, “Go up and
erect an altar to the Lord on the threshing
floor of Araunah the Jebusite.”
Following Gad’s instructions, David
went up, as the Lord had commanded.
David built there an altar to the Lord, and
offered burnt offerings and offerings of
well-being. So, the Lord answered his
supplication for the land, and the plague
was averted from Israel.

GRADUAL
The Lord sent His word, and healed them:
and delivered them from their death. Let
the mercies of the Lord give glory to Him:
and His wonderful works to the children
of men.

 Luc. 4: 38-44
IN illo témpore: Surgens Jesus de
synagóga, introívit in domum
Simónis. Socrus autem Simónis
tenebátur magnis fébribus: et roga-
vérunt illum pro ea. Et stans super
illam, imperávit febri: et dimísit
illam. Et contínuo surgens, minis-
trábat illis. Cum autem sol occi-
dísset, omnis qui habébant infirmos
váriis languóribus, ducé-bant illos
ad eum. At ille síngulis manus
impónens, curábat eos. Exíbant
autem daemónia a multis, clamántia
et dicéntia: Quia tu es Fílius Dei: et
íncrepans non scinébat ea loqui, quia
sciébant ipsum esse Christum. Facta
autem die egréssus ibat in desértum
locum, et turbae requirébant eum, et
venérunt usque ad ipsum: et deti-
nébant illum ne discéderet ab eis.
Quibus ille ait: Quia et áliis civi-
tátibus opórtet me evangelizáre reg-
num Dei: quia ídeo missus sum.
Et erat praédicans in synagógis
Galilaéae.

GOSPEL
At that time after leaving the synagogue
he entered Simon’s house. Now Simon’s
mother-in-law was suffering from a high
fever, and they asked him about her. Then
he stood over her and rebuked the fever,
and it left her. Immediately she got up and
began to serve them. As the sun was
setting, all those who had any who were
sick with various kinds of diseases
brought them to him; and he laid his hands
on each of them and cured them. Demons
also came out of many, shouting, “You are
the Son of God!”. But he rebuked them
and would not allow them to speak,
because they knew that he was the
Messiah. At daybreak, he departed and
went into a deserted place. And the
crowds were looking for him; and when
they reached him, they wanted to prevent
him from leaving them. But he said to
them, “I must proclaim the good news of
the kingdom of God to the other cities
also; for I was sent for this purpose.” So
he continued proclaiming the message in
the synagogues of Galilee.

OFFERTORY
The high priest stood between the dead
and the living, having a golden censer in
his hand and offering the sacrifice of
incense, he appeased the wrath of God,
and the affliction from the Lord ceased.

PREFACE
It is truly meet and just, right and for our
salvation, that we should at all times, and
in all places, give thanks unto Thee, O holy
Lord, Father almighty, everlasting God;
Who by this bodily fast, dost curb our
vices, dost lift up our minds and bestow on
us strength and rewards; through Christ our
Lord. Through whom the Angels praise
Thy Majesty, the Dominations worship it,
the Powers stand in awe. The Heavens and
the heavenly hosts together with the
blessed Seraphim in triumphant chorus
unite to celebrate it. Together with these we
entreat Thee that Thou mayest bid our
voices also to be admitted while we say
with lowly praise:
