Epistle • Joel 2,23,24,26,27

Lesson from Joel the Apostles.

[The prophet foretells the terrible day of the Lord; exhorts sinners to a sincere conversion; and comforts God’s people with promises of future blessings under Christ.]

 

Thus saith the Lord God: O children of Sion, rejoice, and be joyful in the Lord your God: because he hath given you a teacher of justice, and he will make the early and the latter rain to come down to you as in the beginning. And the floors shall be filled with wheat, and the presses shall overflow with wine and oil. And you shall eat in plenty, and shall be filled: and you shall praise the name of the Lord your God, who hath done wonders with you, and my people shall not be confounded for ever. And you shall know that I am in the midst of Israel: and I am the Lord your God, and there is none besides: and my people shall not be confounded for ever; said the Lord almighty.

Alleluia, alleluia. Wis. 12, 1. O how good and sweet, O Lord is Thy spirit within us. Alleluia. (here all kneel). Come, O Holy Spirit, fill the hearts of Thy faithful; and kindle in them the fire of Thy love.


Gospel • Luke 5, 17-26

Continuation of the Holy Gospel According to St. Luke. 

 

[The miraculous draught of fishes. The cure of the leper and of the paralytic. The call of Matthew.]

 

At that time, it came to pass on a certain day, as he sat teaching, that there were also Pharisees and doctors of the law sitting by, that were come out of every town of Galilee, and Judea and Jerusalem: and the power of the Lord was to heal them. And behold, men brought in a bed a man, who had the palsy: and they sought means to bring him in, and to lay him before him. And when they could not find by what way they might bring him in, because of the multitude, they went up upon the roof, and let him down through the tiles with his bed into the midst before Jesus. Whose faith when he saw, he said: Man, thy sins are forgiven thee. And the scribes and Pharisees began to think, saying: Who is this who speaketh blasphemies? Who can forgive sins, but God alone? And when Jesus knew their thoughts, answering, he said to them: What is it you think in your hearts? Which is easier to say, Thy sins are forgiven thee; or to say, Arise and walk? But that you may know that the Son of man hath power on earth to forgive sins, (he saith to the sick of the palsy,) I say to thee, Arise, take up thy bed, and go into thy house. And immediately rising up before them, he took up the bed on which he lay; and he went away to his own house, glorifying God. And all were astonished; and they glorified God. And they were filled with fear, saying: We have seen wonderful things today.

Offertory • Ps. 145,2

Priase the Lord, O my soul, in my life I will praise the Lord; I will sing to my God, as long as I shall be, alleluia.

Secret

May the sacrifices offered in Thy sight, O Lord, be consumed by that divine fire which the Holy Spirit enkindled in the hearts of the disciples of Christ, Thy son. Through… in the unity of the same.
