LESSON

Joel 2.23 – 26

Thus saith the Lord God: Be glad then, ye children of Zion, and rejoice in the LORD your God: for he hath given you the former rain moderately, and he will cause to come down for you the rain, the former rain, and the latter rain in the first month.  And the floors shall be full of wheat, and the fats shall overflow with wine and oil.  And I will restore to you the years that the locust hath eaten, the cankerworm, and the caterpillar, and the palmerworm, my great army which I sent among you.  And ye shall eat in plenty, and be satisfied, and praise the name of the LORD your God, that hath dealt wondrously with you: and my people shall never be ashamed: saith the Lord Almighty.

SEQUENCE

Veni, Sancte Spiritus

Come, thou Holy Spirit, come; and from thy celestial home send thy light and brilliancy.
Come, thou father of the poor, come who givest all our store, come the soul’s true radiancy;
Come, of comforter’s the best, of the soul the sweetest guest, sweetly and refreshingly;
People  Come, in labour rest most sweet, shade and coolness in the heat, comfort in adversity.
Thou who art the Light most blest, come fulfill their inmost breast, who believe most faithfully;
People  For without thy Godhead’s dower, man hath nothing in his power, save to work iniquity;
What is filthy make thou pure, what is wounded work its cure, water what is parched and dry;
Gently bend the stubborn will, warm to life the heart that’s chill,, guide who goeth erringly;
Fill thy faithful who adore, and confess thee evermore, with thy sevenfold mystery;
People  Here thy grace and virtue send, grant salvation in the end, and in heaven felicity.
All:       Amen, Alleluia.
 

THE GOSPEL

St. Luke 5.17 – 26

At that time: It came to pass on a certain day, as he was teaching, that there were Pharisees and doctors of the law sitting by, which were come out of every town of Galilee, and Judaea, and Jerusalem: and the power of the Lord was present to heal them.  And, behold, men brought in a bed a man which was taken with a palsy: and they sought means to bring him in, and to lay him before him.  And when they could not find by what way they might bring him in because of the multitude, they went upon the housetop, and let him down through the tiling with his couch into the midst before Jesus.  And when he saw their faith, he said unto him, Man, thy sins are forgiven thee.  And the scribes and the Pharisees began to reason, saying, Who is this which speaketh blasphemies? Who can forgive sins, but God alone?  But when Jesus perceived their thoughts, he answering said unto them, What reason ye in your hearts?  Whether is easier, to say, Thy sins be forgiven thee; or to say, Rise up and walk?  But that ye may know that the Son of man hath power upon earth to forgive sins, (he said unto the sick of the palsy,) I say unto thee, Arise, and take up thy couch, and go into thine house.  And immediately he rose up before them, and took up that whereon he lay, and departed to his own house, glorifying God.  And they were all amazed, and they glorified God, and were filled with fear, saying, We have seen strange things to day.
 
 
The Creed is said.
