THE TENTH SUNDAY AFTER TRINITY

INTROIT. Cum clamarem. Ps. 55. WHEN I called upon the Lord, he heard my voice, even from the battle that was against me: yea, even God that endureth for ever shall hear me, and bring them down: O cast thy burden upon the Lord, and he shall nourish thee. Ps. ibid. Hear my prayer, O Lord, and hide not thyself from my petition: take heed unto me, and hear me. V. Glory be.

COLLECT. LET thy merciful ears, O Lord, be open to the prayers of thy humble servants: and that they may obtain their petitions, make them to ask such things as shall please thee; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

First Lesson:  Hosea 10:1-2, 13-15

[1] Israel is a luxuriant vine that yields its fruit. The more his fruit increased the more altars he built; as his country improved he improved his pillars. [2] Their heart is false; now they must bear their guilt. The LORD will break down their altars, and destroy their pillars.

[13] You have plowed iniquity, you have reaped injustice, you have eaten the fruit of lies.
Because you have trusted in your chariots and in the multitude of your warriors,
[14] therefore the tumult of war shall arise among your people, and all your fortresses shall be destroyed, as Shalman destroyed Beth-ar’bel on the day of battle; mothers were dashed in pieces with their children.
[15] Thus it shall be done to you, O house of Israel, because of your great wickedness.
In the storm the king of Israel shall be utterly cut off.

Psalm 137

[1] By the waters of Babylon, there we sat down and wept, when we remembered Zion.
[2] On the willows there we hung up our lyres.
[3] For there our captors required of us songs, and our tormentors, mirth, saying, “Sing us one of the songs of Zion!”
[4] How shall we sing the LORD’s song in a foreign land?
[5] If I forget you, O Jerusalem, let my right hand wither!
[6] Let my tongue cleave to the roof of my mouth, if I do not remember you, if I do not set Jerusalem above my highest joy!
[7] Remember, O LORD, against the E’domites the day of Jerusalem, how they said, “Rase it, rase it! Down to its foundations!”
[8] O daughter of Babylon, you devastator! Happy shall he be who requites you with what you have done to us!
[9] Happy shall he be who takes your little ones and dashes them against the rock! Glory be to the Father……………………………..

EPISTLE. 1 Corinthians 12:1-11
1 BRETHREN: concerning spiritual gifts, brethren, I would not have you ignorant. 2 Ye know that ye were Gentiles, carried away unto these dumb idols, even as ye were led. 3 Wherefore I give you to understand, that no man speaking by the Spirit of God calleth Jesus accursed: and that no man can say that Jesus is the Lord, but by the Holy Ghost. 4 Now there are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit. 5 And there are differences of administrations, but the same Lord. 6 And there are diversities of operations, but it is the same God which worketh all in all. 7 But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to every man to profit withal. 8 For to one is given by the Spirit the word of wisdom; to another the word of knowledge by the same Spirit; 9 To another faith by the same Spirit; to another the gifts of healing by the same Spirit; 10 To another the working of miracles; to another prophecy; to another discerning of spirits; to another divers kinds of tongues; to another the interpretation of tongues: 11 But all these worketh that one and the selfsame Spirit, dividing to every man severally as he will.

GRADUAL. Ps. 7. Keep me, O Lord, as the apple of an eye: hide me under the shadow of thy wings. V. Let my sentence come forth from thy presence: and let thine eyes look upon the thing that is equal. Alleluia, alleluia. V. Ps. 65. Thou, O God, art praised in Sion: and unto thee shall the vow be performed in Jerusalem. Alleluia.

GOSPEL. St. Luke 19:41-47
41 AT that time: When Jesus was come near, he beheld the city, and wept over it, 42 Saying, If thou hadst known, even thou, at least in this thy day, the things which belong unto thy peace! but now they are hid from thine eyes. 43 For the days shall come upon thee, that thine enemies shall cast a trench about thee, and compass thee round, and keep thee in on every side,
44 And shall lay thee even with the ground, and thy children within thee; and they shall not leave in thee one stone upon another; because thou knewest not the time of thy visitation. 45 And he went into the temple, and began to cast out them that sold therein, and them that bought; 46 Saying unto them, It is written, My house is the house of prayer: but ye have made it a den of thieves. 47 And he taught daily in the temple.

OFFERTORY. Ps. 25. Unto thee, O Lord, will I lift up my soul: my God, I have put my trust in thee, O let me not be confounded: neither let mine enemies triumph over me: for all they that hop in thee shall not be ashamed.
