Have regard, O Lord, to Thy covenant, and never forsake the souls of the poor. Arise, O Lord, and judge Thy cause, and forget not the voices of them that seek Thee.

Almighty and everlasting God, grant unto us an increase of faith, hope, and charity. And, so that we may obtain what Thou dost promise, make us love that which Thou dost command.

Epistle: Galatians iii: 16-22
A reading from the Epistle of blessed Paul the Apostle to the
Galatians:
Brethren: The promises were made to Abraham and to his offspring. He
does not say, "And to his offsprings," as of many; but as of one, "And
to thy offspring," who is Christ. Now I mean this: the Law which was
made four hundred and thirty years later does not annul the covenant
which was ratified by God, so as to make the promise void. But if the
right to inherit be from the Law, it is no longer from a promise. But
God gave it to Abraham by promise. What then was the Law? It was
enacted on account of transgressions, being delivered by angels
through a mediator, until the offspring should come, to whom the
promise was made. Now there is no intermediary where there is only
one. Is the Law then contrary to the promises of God? By no means.
For if a law had been given that could give life, justice would be
truly from the law. But the scripture shut up all things under sin,
but by the faith of Jesus Christ the promise might be given to those
who believe.
Gradual: Ps. lxxiii: 20, 19, 22
Have regard, O Lord, to Thy covenant, and never forsake the souls
of the poor. Arise, O Lord, and judge Thy cause. Remember the
reproach of Thy servants.
Alleluia, alleluia! Lord, Thou hast been our refuge from
generation to generation. Alleluia!
Gospel: Luke xvii: 11-19
+ The continuation of the Holy Gospel according to Luke:
At that time, as Jesus was going to Jerusalem, He was passing between
Samaria and Galilee. And as He was entering a certain village, there
met Him ten lepers, who stood afar off and lifted up their voice,
saying, "Jesus, Master, have pity on us." And when He saw them, He
said, "Go, show yourselves to the priests." And it came to pass that
as they were on their way, they were made clean. But one of them,
seeing that he was made clean, returned, with a loud voice glorifying
God, and he fell on his face at His feet, giving thanks; and he was a
Samaritan. But Jesus answered and said, "Were not the ten made clean?
But where are the nine? Has no one been found to return and give
glory to God except this foreigner?" And He said to him, "Arise, go
thy way, for thy faith has saved thee."
Credo.
Offertory: Ps. xxx: 15-16
In Thee, O Lord, have I hoped. I said, Thou art my God; my times are in Thy hands.
Secret:
Look with favor, O Lord, upon Thy people. Look with favor upon their offerings; and be appeased by this oblation. Mercifully forgive us our sins, and grant what we ask.
