First ReadingDaniel 1:1-6, 8-20

From the Book of Daniel

1In the third year of the reign of Jehoiakim king of Judah,Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came to Jerusalem and besieged it.2The Lord gave Jehoiakim king of Judah into his hand,with part of the vessels of the house of God;and he carried them into the land of Shinar to the house of his god.He brought the vessels into the treasure house of his god.

3The king spoke to Ashpenaz the master of his eunuchs,that he should bring in some of the children of Israel,even of the royal offspring and of the nobles—4youths in whom was no defect,but well-favored, and skillful in all wisdom,and endowed with knowledge,and understanding science,and who had the ability to serve in the king’s palace;and that he should teach them the learningand the language of the Chaldeans.5The king appointed for them a daily portion of the king’s delicacies,and of the wine which he drank,and that they should be nourished three years;that at its end they should serve the king.

6Now among these were of the children of Judah:Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah.

verse 7 is not read8But Daniel purposed in his heartthat he would not defile himself with the king’s delicacies,nor with the wine which he drank.Therefore he requested of the prince of the eunuchsthat he might not defile himself.9Now God made Daniel find kindnessand compassion in the sight of the prince of the eunuchs.10The prince of the eunuchs said to Daniel,“I fear my lord the king,who has appointed your food and your drink.For why should he see your faces worse looking than the youthswho are of your own age?Then you would endanger my head with the king.”

11Then Daniel said to the stewardwhom the prince of the eunuchs had appointed over Daniel,Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah:12“Test your servants, I beg you, ten days;and let them give us vegetables to eat and water to drink.13Then let our faces be examined before you,and the face of the youthswho eat of the king’s delicacies;and as you see, deal with your servants.”14So he listened to them in this matter,and tested them for ten days.

15At the end of ten days,their faces appeared fairer,and they were fatter in flesh,than all the youths who ate of the king’s delicacies.16So the steward took away their delicacies,and the wine that they would drink,and gave them vegetables.

17Now as for these four youths,God gave them knowledgeand skill in all learning and wisdom;and Daniel had understanding in all visions and dreams.

18At the end of the dayswhich the king had appointed for bringing them in,the prince of the eunuchs brought them in before Nebuchadnezzar.19The king talked with them;and among them all was found no one like Daniel,Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah.Therefore they served the king.20In every matter of wisdom and understanding concerningwhich the king inquired of them,he found them ten times better than all the magiciansand enchanters who were in all his realm.

From the Gospel according to Luke

1He looked up and saw the rich peoplewho were putting their gifts into the treasury.2He saw a certain poor widow casting in two small brass coins.3He said, “Truly I tell you,this poor widow put in more than all of them,4for all these put in gifts for God from their abundance,but she, out of her poverty,put in all that she had to live on.”

Eccli 51:1-8; 51:12

Confitébor tibi, Dómine, Rex, et collaudábo te Deum, Salvatórem meum. Confitébor nómini tuo: quóniam adjútor et protéctor factus es mihi, et liberásti corpus meum a perditióne, a láqueo línguæ iníquæ et a lábiis operántium mendácium, et in conspéctu astántium factus es mihi adjutor. Et liberasti me secúndum multitúdinem misericórdiæ nóminis tui a rugiéntibus, præparátis ad escam, de mánibus quæréntium ánimam meam, et de portis tribulatiónum, quæ circumdedérunt me: a pressúra flammæ, quæ circúmdedit me, et in médio ignis non sum æstuáta: de altitúdine ventris ínferi, et a lingua coinquináta, et a verbo mendácii, a rege iníquo, et a lingua injústa: laudábit usque ad mortem ánima mea Dóminum: quóniam éruis sustinéntes te, et líberas eos de mánibus géntium, Dómine, Deus noster.

Lesson from the book of Ecclesiasticus

Sir 51:1-8; 51:12

I will give You thanks, O Lord, O King; I will praise You, O God my Saviour! I will make known Your name; for You have preserved my body from destruction, from the scourge of a slanderous tongue, and from lips that went over to falsehood; and in the sight of those who stood by, You have been my helper. And You have delivered me, according to the multitude of the mercy of Your name, from those who did roar, prepared to devour; from the power of those who sought my life, and from the gates of afflictions which compassed me about; from the oppression of the flames which hemmed me in on every side, and in the midst of the fire I was not burnt; from the deep belly of the nether world, and from an unclean tongue, and from lying words, from an unjust king, and from dishonest tongues. My soul shall praise the Lord even to death; because You, O Lord, our God, save those who take refuge in You, and rescue them out of the hands of the nations.

GospelEvangelium

Sequéntia ☩ sancti Evangélii secúndum Matthǽum

Matt 25:1-13

In illo témpore: Dixit Jesus discípulis suis parábolam hanc: Símile erit regnum coelórum decem virgínibus: quæ, accipiéntes lámpades suas, exiérunt óbviam sponso et sponsæ. Quinque autem ex eis erant fátuæ, et quinque prudéntes: ¶ sed quinque fátuæ, accéptis lampádibus, non sumpsérunt óleum secum: prudéntes vero accepérunt óleum in vasis suis cum lampádibus. Moram autem faciénte sponso, dormitavérunt omnes et dormiérunt. Média autem nocte clamor factus est: Ecce, sponsus venit, exíte óbviam ei. Tunc surrexérunt omnes vírgines íllæ, et ornavérunt lámpades suas. Fátuæ autem sapiéntibus dixérunt: Date nobis de óleo vestro: quia lámpades nostræ exstinguúntur. Respondérunt prudéntes, dicéntes: Ne forte non suffíciat nobis et vobis, ite pótius ad vendéntes, et émite vobis. Dum autem irent émere, venit sponsus: et quæ parátæ erant, intravérunt cum eo ad núptias, et clausa est jánua. Novíssime vero véniunt et réliquæ vírgines, dicéntes: Dómine, Dómine, áperi nobis. At ille respóndens, ait: Amen, dico vobis, néscio vos. Vigiláte ítaque, quia nescítis diem neque horam.

Continuation ☩ of the Holy Gospel according to Matthew

Matt 25:1-13.

At that time Jesus spoke this parable to His disciples: “Then will the kingdom of heaven be like ten virgins who took their lamps and went forth to meet the bridegroom and the bride. Five of them were foolish and five wise. But the five foolish, when they took their lamps, took no oil with them, while the wise did take oil in their vessels with the lamps. Then as the bridegroom was long in coming, they all became drowsy and slept. And at midnight a cry arose, 'Behold, the bridegroom is coming, go forth to meet him!' Then all those virgins arose and trimmed their lamps. And the foolish said to the wise, 'Give us some of your oil, for our lamps are going out.' The wise answered, saying, 'Lest there may not be enough for us and for you, go rather to those who sell it, and buy some for yourselves.' Now while they were gone to buy it, the bridegroom came; and those who were ready went in with him to the marriage feast, and the door was shut. Finally there came also the other virgins, who said, 'Sir, sir, open the door for us!' But he answered and said, 'Amen I say to you, I do not know you.' Watch therefore, for you know neither the day nor the hour.”

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:
