Ps 129:3-4

If You, O Lord, mark iniquities, Lord, who can stand? But with You is forgiveness, O God of Israel.

Ps 129:1-2

Out of the depths I cry to You, O Lord; Lord, hear my voice!

Glory Be to the Father…

If You, O Lord, mark iniquities, Lord, who can stand? But with You is forgiveness, O God of Israel.

O God, our refuge and our strength, the very source of holiness, heed the devout prayers of Your Church, and grant that what we seek in faith we may obtain in fact.

For the Propagation of the Faith

O God, who desirest that all men should be saved, and come to the knowledge of the truth: send forth, we beseech thee, labourers into thy harvest, and grant them grace to speak thy word with all trust, that thy words may run and be glorified, and that all nations may know thee, the one true God, and him whom thou hast sent, Jesus Christ thy Son our Lord.

Who livest and reignest with God the Father…

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

Phil 1:6-11

Brethren: We are confident in the Lord Jesus that He Who has begun a good work in you will bring it to perfection until the day of Christ Jesus. And I have the right to feel so about you all, because I have you in my heart, all of you, alike in my chains and in the defense and confirmation of the Gospel, as sharers in my joy. For God is my witness how I long for you all in the heart of Christ Jesus. And this I pray, that your charity may more and more abound in knowledge and all discernment, so that you may approve the better things, that you may be upright and without offense unto the day of Christ, filled with the fruit of justice, through Jesus Christ, to the glory and praise of God.

Ps 132:1-2

Behold how good it is, and how pleasant where brethren dwell as one!

℣.It is as when the precious ointment upon the head runs down over the beard, the beard of Aaron.

Alleluia, alleluia.

Ps 113:11

Those who fear the Lord trust in the Lord: He is their help and their shield. Alleluia.

Continuation ☩ of the Holy Gospel according to Matthew

Matt 22:15-21

At that time, the Pharisees went and took counsel how they might trap Jesus in His talk. And they sent to Him their disciples with the Herodians, saying, Master, we know that You are truthful, and that You teach the way of God in truth, and that You care naught for any man; for You do not regard the person of men. Tell us, therefore, what do You think: Is it lawful to give tribute to Caesar, or not? But Jesus, knowing their wickedness, said, Why do you test Me, you hypocrites? Show Me the coin of the tribute. So they offered Him a denarius. Then Jesus said to them, Whose are this image and the inscription? They said to Him, Caesar’s. Then He said to them, Render, therefore, to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s, and to God the things that are God’s.

Esther 14:12-13

Remember me, O Lord, You Who rule above all power: and give a well-ordered speech in my mouth, that my words may be pleasing in the sight of the prince.

Grant, O merciful God, that this saving sacrifice may always free us from sin, and protect us from all that works against us.

For the Propagation of the Faith

Turn thine eyes, O God, our protector, and look upon the face of thy Christ, who hath given himself as a ransom for all, and grant that from the rising of the sun even unto the setting thereof thy name may be great among the Gentiles, and that in every place there may be sacrifice, and a clean oblation offered to thy name.

Through the same Christ our Lord…

Holy Trinity

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, together with Thine only-begotten Son, and the Holy Ghost, art one God, one Lord: not in the oneness of a single Person, but in the Trinity of one substance. For what we believe by Thy revelation of Thy glory, the same do we believe of Thy Son, the same of the Holy Ghost, without difference or separation. So that in confessing the true and everlasting Godhead, distinction in persons, unity in essence, and equality in majesty may be adored. Which the Angels and Archangels, the Cherubim also and Seraphim do praise: who cease not daily to cry out, with one voice saying:

Ps 16:6

I call upon You, for You will answer me, O God; incline Your ear to me; hear my word.

We who have received the gift of Your blessed sacrament, O Lord, humbly pray that what You have taught us to do in commemoration of You, may profit and help us in our weakness.

For the Propagation of the Faith

Revived by this atoning sacrifice, we beseech thee, O Lord, that by means of this help to eternal salvation true Faith may ever advance.

Through our Lord…
