Lesson from the letter of St. Paul the Apostle to the Romans

Rom 13:8-10

Brethren: Owe no man anything except to love one another; for he who loves his neighbor has fulfilled the Law. For You shall not commit adultery. You shall not kill. You shall not steal. You shall not bear false witness. You shall not covet; and if there is any other commandment, it is summed up in this saying, You shall love your neighbor as yourself. Love does no evil to a neighbor. Love therefore is the fulfillment of the Law.

Ps 101:16-17

The nations shall revere Your name, O Lord, and all the kings of the earth Your glory.

℣.For the Lord has rebuilt Sion, and He shall appear in His glory. Alleluia, alleluia.

Ps 96:1

The Lord is King; let the earth rejoice; let the many isles be glad. Alleluia.

Continuation of the Holy Gospel according to St. Matthew

Matt 8:23-27

At that time, Jesus got into a boat, and His disciples followed Him. And behold, there arose a great storm on the sea, so that the boat was covered by the waves; but He was asleep. So they came and woke Him, saying, Lord, save us! we are perishing! But He said to them, Why are you fearful, O you of little faith? Then He arose and rebuked the wind and the sea, and there came a great calm. And the men marvelled, saying, What manner of Man is this, that even the wind and the sea obey Him?

Ps 117:16-17

The right hand of the Lord has struck with power: the right hand of the Lord has exalted me; I shall not die, but live, and declare the works of the Lord.

Grant, we beseech You, almighty God, that the offering of this sacrifice may always cleanse and strengthen the weakness of our nature.

Through our Lord…

Commemoration St. Blaise

Common

It is truly meet and just, and profitable unto salvation, that we should at all times, and in all places, give thanks to Thee, O Holy Lord, Father Almighty, eternal God, through Christ, our Lord. Through whom the Angels praise Thy Majesty, the Dominions adore it, the Powers are in awe. Which the heavens and the hosts of heaven together with the blessed Seraphim joyfully do magnify. And do Thou command that it be permitted us to join with them in confessing Thee, while we say with lowly praise:

Luke 4:22

All marvelled at the words that came from the mouth of God.

May Your gifts, O God, free us from the attraction of earthly pleasures and give us new strength through Your heavenly nourishment.

Through our Lord…

Commemoration St. Blaise

May this Communion, O Lord, cleanse us of sin, and through the intercession of blessed Blaise, Your Martyr and Bishop, may it make us sharers of heavenly healing.

Through our Lord…
