The Lesson from the Epistle of blessed Paul the Apostle to the Ephesians 4:1-6
Brethren: I, the prisoner of the Lord, beseech you, that ye walk worthy of the vocation wherewith ye are called, with all lowliness and meekness, with long-suffering, forbearing one another in love, endeavouring to keep the unity of the spirit in the bond of peace. There is one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your calling. One Lord, one faith, one baptism. One God, and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all. Who is blessed for ever and ever. Amen.

The Continuation of the holy Gospel according to Matthew 22:34-46 At that time: The Pharisees came unto Jesus: and one of them, who was a lawyer, asked him a question, tempting him, and saying: Master, which is the greatest commandment in the Law? Jesus said unto him: Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like unto it: Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself. On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets. While the Pharisees were gathered together, Jesus asked them, saying: What think ye of Christ? whose son is he? They say unto him: The son of David. He saith unto them: How then doth David in spirit call him Lord, saying: The Lord said unto my Lord, sit thou on my right hand, till I make thine enemies thy footstool? If David then call him Lord, how is he his son? And no man was able to answer him a word: neither durst any man from that day forth ask him any more questions.
OFFERTORY Dan. 9:17-19.
I, Daniel, prayed unto my God, and said: Hear, O Lord, the prayers of thy servant: cause thy face to shine upon thy sanctuary: and behold, O God, this thy people, who are called by thy name.
PREFACE
It is very meet, right, just and availing to salvation, that we should at all times and in all places give thanks unto thee, O Lord holy Father, almighty everlasting God: who with thine only begotten Son and the Holy Ghost art one God, one Lord: not only one person, but three persons in one substance. For that which by thy revelation we believe of thy glory, the same we believe of thy Son, the same of the Holy Spirit, without any difference or inequality. That in the confession of the true and everlasting God-head, distinction in Persons, unity in essence, and equality in majesty, may be adored. Which the Angels and Archangels, the Cherubim also and Seraphim praise: who ease not daily to cry out with one voice, saying:
COMMUNION Ps. 76:12-13.
Promise unto the Lord your God, and keep it, all ye that are round about him, bring presents unto him that ought to be feared: he shall refrain the spirit of princes: and is wonderful among all the kings of the earth.
POSTCOMMUNION
Let us pray: Almighty God, let thy sanctifying power cleanse us from all our sins, and avail for the healing of our souls unto life eternal. Through Jesus Christ thy Son our Lord: Who liveth and reigneth with thee in the unity of the Holy Ghost: ever one God, world without end. (Amen)
Let us pray: Grant, we beseech Thee, almighty God, that by showing gratitude for the gifts which we have received, we may, by the intercession of blessed Remigius Thy confessor and bishop, obtain yet greater benefits. Through Jesus Christ, thy Son, Our Lord, who with thee in the unity of the Holy Ghost, liveth and reignest God, world without end. (amen)
Let us pray: Grant, we beseech thee, O Lord, unto thy faithful people ever to rejoice in the veneration of all thy Saints: and to be defended by their perpetual supplication. Through Jesus Christ thy Son our Lord: Who liveth and reigneth with thee in the unity of the Holy Ghost: ever one God, world without end. (Amen)
