THE COLLECT.
O GOD, whose never-failing providence orders
all things
both in heaven and earth: We humbly beseech thee to put away from us
all
hurtful things, and to give us those things which be profitable for us;
through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
THE EPISTLE.
Rom. 8. 12
MY BRETHREN, we are debtors, not to the flesh,
to live
after the flesh. For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die:
but
if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall
live.
For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of
God.
For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye
have
received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father.
The
Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children
of God. And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and
joint-heirs
with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also
glorified
with him.
THE GOSPEL.
S. Matth. 7. 15
JESUS said unto his disciples, Beware of false
prophets,
which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening
wolves.
Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of
thorns,
or figs of thistles? Even so every good tree bringeth forth good
fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit. A good tree
cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth
good
fruit. Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn
down,
and cast into the fire. Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know
them.
Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the
kingdom
of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.

INTROIT. Ps
48:1-12
GREAT is the Lord, and highly to be praised /
in the
city of our God.
2 His holy hill is a fair place, / and the joy
of the
whole earth:
3 Mount Sion of the uttermost parts of the
north,
the city of the great King.
4 He hath made himself known in her citidals /
as a sure
refuge.
5 For lo, the kings of the earth were gathered,
/ and
gone by together.
6 They marvelled to see such things; / they
were astonished,
and suddenly cast down.
7 Fear came there upon them, / and anguish, as
upon a
woman in her travail.
8As when with the east wind / thou breakest the
ships
of the sea.
9 Like as we have heard, so have we seen in the
city
of the Lord of hosts, in the city of our God: / God upholdeth the
same for ever.
Ant. We have thought on thy
loving-kindness,
O God, / in the midst of thy temple.
11 O God, according to thy Name, so is thy
praise unto
the world's end; / thy right hand is full of righteousness.
12 Let the mount Sion rejoice, and the daughter
of Judah
be glad, / because of thy judgements.
Glory be. Repeat Antiphon.
GRADUAL. Ps
48:13-15
13 Walk about Sion, and go round about her; /
and count
the towers thereof.
14 Mark well her bulwarks, consider her
citadels, / that
ye may tell them that come after.
Alleluia, All. For this God is
our God for
ever and ever: / he shall be our guide for evermore. All.
