Lesson from the second letter of St. Paul the Apostle to the Corinthians
2 Cor 10:17-18; 11:1-2
Brothers: He that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord. For not he who commendeth himself, is approved, but he, whom God commendeth. Would to God you could bear with some little of my folly: but do bear with me. For I am jealous of you with the jealousy of God. For I have espoused you to one husband that I may present you as a chaste virgin to Christ.
Léctio Epístolæ beáti Pauli Apóstoli ad Corínthios
2 Cor 10:17-18; 11:1-2
Fratres: Qui gloriátur, in Dómino gloriétur. Non enim, qui seípsum comméndat, ille probátus est; sed quem Deus comméndat. Utinam sustinerétis módicum quid insipiéntiæ meæ, sed et supportáte me: æmulor enim vos Dei æmulatióne. Despóndi enim vos uni viro vírginem castam exhibére Christo.
Ps 44:5
With thy comeliness and thy beauty set out, proceed prosperously, and reign.
℣. Because of truth and meekness and justice: and thy right hand shall conduct thee wonderfully. Alleluja, alleluja.
Ps 44:15-16
After her shall virgins be brought to the king: They shall be brought with gladness and rejoicing. Alleluja.
Ps 44:5
Spécie tua et pulchritúdine tua inténde, próspere procéde et regna.
℣. Propter veritátem et mansuetúdinem et justítiam: et dedúcet te mirabíliter déxtera tua.
Allelúja, allelúja.
Ps 44:15-16
Adducéntur Regi Vírgines post eam: próximæ ejus afferéntur tibi in lætítia. Allelúja.
Continuation ☩ of the Holy Gospel according to Luke
Luke 10:38-42
At that time, Jesus entered a certain village; and a woman named Martha welcome Him to her house. And she had a sister called Mary, who also seated herself at the Lord’s feet, and listened to His word. But Martha was busy about much serving. And she came up and said, Lord, is it not concern of Yours that my sister has left me to serve alone? Tell her therefore to help me. But the Lord answered and said to her, Martha, Martha, you are anxious and troubled about many things; and yet only one thing is needful. Mary has chosen the best part, and it will not be taken away from her.
Sequéntia ☩ sancti Evangélii secúndum Lucam
Luc 10:38-42
In illo témpore: Intravit Jesus in quoddam castellum: et mulier quaedam, Martha nomine, excepit illum in domum suam et huic erat soror nomine Maria quae etiam sedens secus pedes Domini audiebat verbum illius. ¶ Martha autem satagebat circa frequens ministerium quae stetit, et ait: Domine non est tibi curae quod soror mea reliquit me solam ministrare dic ergo illi ut me adiuvet et respondens dixit illi Dominus: “Martha, Martha, sollicita es, et turbaris erga plurima: porro unum est necessarium. Maria optimam partem elegit, quae non auferetur ab ea.”
Ps 44:10
The daughters of kings have delighted thee in thy glory. The queen stood on thy right hand, in gilded clothing; surrounded with variety. (Allelúja.)
Ps 44:10
Fíliæ regum in honóre tuo, ástitit regína a dextris tuis in vestítu deauráto, circúmdata varietáte. (Allelúja.)
May the service of thy holy people be acceptable to Thee, O Lord, and honorable to thy saints, through whose merits we know that we have received help in trouble.

Common
It is truly meet and just, and profitable unto salvation, that we should at all times, and in all places, give thanks to Thee, O Holy Lord, Father Almighty, eternal God, through Christ, our Lord. Through whom the Angels praise Thy Majesty, the Dominions adore it, the Powers are in awe. Which the heavens and the hosts of heaven together with the blessed Seraphim joyfully do magnify. And do Thou command that it be permitted us to join with them in confessing Thee, while we say with lowly praise:
Communis
Vere dignum et justum est, æquum et salutáre, nos tibi semper et ubíque grátias ágere: Dómine sancte, Pater omnípotens, ætérne Deus: per Christum, Dóminum nostrum. Per quem majestátem tuam laudant Angeli, adórant Dominatiónes, tremunt Potestátes. Cæli cælorúmque Virtútes ac beáta Séraphim sócia exsultatióne concélebrant. Cum quibus et nostras voces ut admítti jubeas, deprecámur, súpplici confessione dicéntes:
Matt 25:4; 25:6
The five wise virgins took oil in their vessels with the lamps. And at midnight there was a cry made: Behold the bridegroom cometh, go ye forth to meet Christ the Lord. (Alleluja.)
Matt 25:4-6
Quinque prudéntes vírgines accepérunt óleum in vasis suis cum lampádibus: média autem nocte clamor factus est: Ecce, sponsus venit: exíte óbviam Christo Dómino. (Allelúja.)
Thou hast fed thy servants, O Lord, with the holy gifts; comfort us ever we pray, by her intercession whose festival we celebrate.
Through our Lord…
Satiásti, Dómine, famíliam tuam munéribus sacris: ejus, quǽsumus, semper interventióne nos réfove, cujus sollémnia celebrámus.
