blessed Thy  Land.   Thou hast  turned away  the captivity  of  Jacob.
Glory be.... The Lord saith....

 Epistle:  Philippians iii: 17-21; iv: 1-3
     A reading  from the  Epistle of  blessed Paul  the Apostle to the
Philippians:
Brethren:   Be followers of me and follow those who walk as I do.  For
many walk,  as I  have told  you often (and now tell you weeping) that
they are  enemies of  the Cross  of Christ;  whose end is destruction,
whose god  is the  belly, and  whose glory is in their shame; who mind
earthly things.   But  our conversation is in heaven, from whence also
we look  for the  Savior, our  Lord Jesus  Christ, who will reform the
body of  our lowness, made like to the body of His glory, according to
the operation  whereby also  He is  able to  subdue  all  things  unto
Himself.   Therefore, my brethren, dearly beloved and most desired, my
joy and crown: so stand fast in the Lord, my dearly beloved.
 I beg  of Evodia, and I beseech Syntyche to be of one mind in the
Lord.  And I entreat thee also, my sincere companion, help those women
who have labored with me in the Gospel with Clement and the rest of my
fellow-laborers, whose names are in the book of life.
 Gradual: Ps. xliii: 8-9
 Thou hast  delivered us,  O Lord,  from them that afflict us; and
hast put  them to  shame that  hate us.   In God we will glory all the
day, and in Thy name we will give praise for ever.
Alleluia, alleluia.   From  the depths  I have  cried to  Thee, O
Lord.  Lord hear my prayer.  Alleluia.
 Gospel:  Matthew ix: 18-26
     +    
The continuation of the Holy Gospel according to Matthew:At that  time, as  Jesus was  speaking to  the  multitudes,  behold  a
certain ruler  came up  and adored  Him, saying, "Lord, my daughter is
even now  dead; but  come lay  Thy hand upon her, and she shall live."
And Jesus, rising up, followed him, with His disciples.
 And behold,  a woman  who was troubled with an issue of blood for
twelve years, came behind Him and touched the hem of His garment.  For
she had  said within  herself, "If  I shall  touch only His garment, I
shall be  healed."   But Jesus,  turning and  seeing her, said, "Be of
good heart,  thy faith  has made  thee whole."  And the woman was made
whole from that hour.
 And when  Jesus was come into the house of the ruler, and saw the
minstrels and the multitude making a tumult, He said, "Give place; for
the girl  is not  dead, but sleepeth."  And they laughed Him to scorn.
And when  the multitude was put forth, He went in, and took her by the
hand.   And the girl arose.  And the fame thereof went abroad into all
that country.
 Credo.
 Offertory: Ps. cxxix: 1-2
 From the  depths I  have cried out to Thee, O Lord.  Lord hear my
prayer.  From the depths I have cried out to Thee, O Lord.
 Secret
 We offer  to Thee,  O  Lord,  this  sacrifice  of  praise  as  an
additional act  of homage:   that  what Thou hast granted to us, Thine
unworthy servants, Thou wouldst mercifully accomplish.
