Epistle: Wisdom v. 16-20

    Lesson from the Book of Wisdom. But the just shall live for evermore, and their reward is with the Lord, and the care of them with the Most High. Therefore shall they receive a kingdom of glory, and a crown of beauty at the hand of the Lord: for with His right hand He will cover them, and with His holy arm He will defend them. And His zeal will take armor, and He will arm the creature for the revenge of His enemies. He will put on justice as a breastplate, and will take true judgment instead of a helmet. He will take equity for an invincible shield.

Gospel: Luke vi. 17-23

    + Continuation of the Gospel of St. Luke. At that time, Jesus coming down from the mountain, stood in a plain place, and the company of His disciples, and a very great multitude of people from all Judea, and Jerusalem, and the sea-coast both of Tyre and Sidon, who were come to hear Him and to be healed of their diseases. And they that were troubled with unclean spirits were cured. And all the multitudes sought to touch Him: for virtue went out from Him and healed all. And He, lifting up His eyes on His disciples, said: Blessed are ye poor: for yours is the kingdom of God. Blessed are ye that hunger now: for you shall be filled. Blessed are ye that weep now: for you shall laugh. Blessed shall you be when men shall hate you, and when they shall separate you and shall reproach you and cast our your name as evil, for the Son of man's sake. Be glad in that day and rejoice: for behold, your reward is great in heaven.

Offertory: Psalms clxix. 5-6

    The saints shall rejoice in glory, they shall be joyful in their beds: the high praises of God shall be in their mouth.
