T h r o u g h a i l the ages o f ages. Amen.

The Epistle (except from Wednesday to Friday, which are given below): A Reading f r o m the First Epistle of blessed Paul the Apostle, to the Corinthians: Brethren: Y e k n o w that ye were Gentiles, carried away unto these dumb idols, even as ye were led. Wherefore I give you to understand, that no m a n speaking by the Spirit o f G o d calleth Jesus Accursetl; a n d that no m a n can say that Jesus is the L o r d , but by the H o l y Ghost. N o w there are diversities o f gifts, but the Same Spirit. A n d there are differences of administrations, but the Same L o r d . A n d there are diversities of operations, but it is the Same G o d W h i c h worketh a l l i n a l l . But the manifestation o f the Spirit is given to every man to profit withal. F o r to one is given jy the Spirit the w o r d of W i s d o m ; to another the w o r d of knowledge by the Same Spirit; T o another Faith by the Same Spirit; to another the gifts o f healing by the Same Spirit; T o another the working o f miracles; to another prophecy; to another discerning o f spirits; to another divers kinds of tongues; to another the interpretation o f tongues; But a l l these worketh That One and the Selfsame Spirit, dividing to every man severally as H e w i l l . (1 Cor. 12: 2 - 11) Thanks be to God.

" A n d H e went into the Temple, a n d began to cast out them that sold therein, a n d them that bought; Saying unto them, " I t is written, ' M y house is the House of Prayer; but ye have made it a den of thieves.' " A n d He taught d a i y i n the Temple. (Luke 19: 41 - 47) 1^. Praise be to Thee, O C h r i s t .

While the Celebrant says some Offertory prayers quietly, a Hymn from ancient sources is now sung. most usually the Hymn: "Come, Holy Ghost." which is given in the Mass book. At the end of the Hymn, the people may join the Clergy in reciting the response to the Epiclesis prayer, as follows: Celebrant: Brother's and sisters, pray f o r me, that my a n d vour sacrifice may be alike acceptable unto the L o r d O u r G o d . All: M a y the grace of the H o l y Ghost Illuminate thy heart and thy lips, that the L o r d may deign to accept this sacrifice of praise at thy hands, f o r our sins a n d offences. The Secrets (to be said quietly by the Celebrant): y. L e t us pray. G r a n t us, O L o r d , vs-e beseech Thee, fittingly frequently to approach These Mysteries, because, as often as This Sacrifice is Celebrated, the v^ork o f our Redemption is carried out.

(Here are added any special Secrets of commemoration. Then are added the following Secrets:) On Sunday only, the following Secret of the Holy Trinity is to be added: Sanctify, we beseech Thee, O L o r d G o d , Holy T r i n i t y , through the invocation of T h y Holy Name, the offering of T h i s Oblation; a n d through It perfect us ourselves to be an eternal gift unto Thee. On Weekdays, the following Secret of the Holy Cross replaces the Collect above: W e beseech Thee, O L o r d , that This Sacrifice may purify us f r o m a l l sin, W h i c h , H a v i n g Been O f f e r e d upon the Altar o f the Cross, d i d bear the offences even o f the whole w o r l d .

(Here may be added up to three more Secrets, corresponding to the Collects the Celebrant added beforehand, so that the total number of Secrets is an odd number not exceeding seven. The Secrets are then concluded as follows:) T h r o u g h (the Same) O u r L o r d Jesus Christ, T h y Son, W h o liveth a n d reigneth w i t h Thee, i n the unity of the Holy Ghost, G o d , y.

The Preface: y. It is very meet a n d just, right a n d available f o r o u r salvation, that we should at a l l times a n d in a l l places give thanks unto Thee, O L o r d , H o l y Father, Almighty a n d Everlasting G o d . A n d humbly to beg T h y mercy, that, with Thee Assenting, we m a y do well to t u r n away f r o m those things which are evil, and consequently t<^ bring to fulfillment the number of those things which are good; and because T h o u hast made us to approach T h y Sacraments, T h o u wouldst m.ercifully bring about T h e i r purpose within us. Through Christ O u r Lord. T h r o u g h W h o m Angels praise T h y Majesty, Dominions adore, Powers tremble. T h e Heavens, and the heavenly Virtues, and the blessed Seraphim unite in one glad voice in exttilling Thee. Together with w h o m , we pray Thee, that T h o u wouldest command that our voices should have entrance, humbly confessing Thee, and saying: The Sanctus (to be chanted by all): H o l y , H o l y , H o l y , L o r d G o d o f Sabaoth. Heaven and E a r t h are full of T h y G l o r y . Hosanna in the higiest. Blessed is He * T h a t cometh in the N a m e of the L o r d . Hosanna in the higliest! Now, while the Celebrant chants the prayers of the Canon of the Mass in a low "muttered" tone, a Hymn from ancient sources is sung, most usually the Hymn: "Let all mortal flesh" which is given in the Mass book. After the Canon end the Hymn are completed, the Celebrant begins the chant: y. Through all tfie ages of ages. ^ . Amen. y. L e t us pray. Admonished by saving precepts, and guided by divine institution, we make bold to say: 1^. O u r Father, W h o art i n Heaven, Hallowed be T h y Name; Thy K i n g d o m come; T h y W i l l be Done, on E a r t h , as It is i n Heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. A n d forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those that trespass against us. A n d lead us not into temptation; B u t deliver us f r o m evil. A m e n . Then the Celebrant continues the chant of the Embolism: y. Deliver us, vi^e beseech Thee, O L o r d , f r o m a l l evils, past, present, future, a n d , at the intercession of the blessed a n d glorious a n d ever-virgin B i r t h - G i v e r of G o d , Mai-y, a n d of T h y blessed Apostles Peter a n d P a u l , a n d A n d r e w , (and Saint A'^.

The Epistle: A Reading f r o m the First Epistle of blessed P a u l the Apostle, to the Corinthians: Brethren: A l l flesh is not the sam.e flesh; but there Is one kind o f flesh of men, another flesh of beasts, another of fishes, and another of bird^ There are also celestial bodies, a n d bodies terrestrial; but the glory of the celestial is one, and the glory of the terrestrial is another. There is one glory o f the Sun, and another glory of the M o o n , and another glory of the stars; f o r one star differeth f r o m another star in glory. So also is the Resurrection of the dead. It is sown in corruption; it is raised in incorruption; It is sown i n dishonour; it is raised i n glory; it is sown in weakness; it is raised in power; It is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body. There is a natural body, and there is a spiritual body. A n d so it is w r i t t e ^ " T h e first m a n Adam was made a living soul; the Last A d a m was a Q u i c k e n ng S p i r i t . " Howbeit That was not First W h i c h is Spiritual, but that which is natural; and a f t e r w a r d That W h i c h is Spiritual. (1 Cor. 15: 39 - 46) W. T h a n k s be to God. Or the following may be used in place of the above: The Epistle (as kept at Bee, A Reading from the Second Epistle of blessed P a u l the Apostle, to the Corinthians:

Brethren: F o r wek n o w that i f o u r earthly house o f this tabernacle were dissolved, we have a Building of G o d , an House not made with hands, Eternal in the Heavens. F o r in this we groan, earnestly desiring to be clothed upon with O u r House W h i c h Is f r o m Heaven; I f so be that being clothed we shall not be found naked. F o r we that are i n this tabernacle do groan, being burdened; not f o r that we w o u l d be unclothed, t u t clothed upon, that mortality might be swallowed up of life. N o w H e That hath wrought us f o r the selfsame thing is G o d , W h o also hath given unto us the earnest of the Spirit. Therefore we are always confident, knowing that, whilst we are at home in the body, we are absent f r o m the L o r d ; (For we walk by Fsiith, not by sight;) W e are confident, I say, a n d willing rather to be absent f r o m the body. and to be present with the L o r d . Wherefore we labour, that, whether present or absent, we may be accepted o f H i m . F o r We must a l i appear before the Judgment Seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things done i n his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good o r b a d . K n o w i n g therefore the terror of the L o r d , we persuade men; but we are made manifest unto G o d ; and I trust also are made manifest in your consciences. (2 Cor. 5: 1-11) ^.
