EPISTLE
Colossians 1: 9-14
Brethren, We cease not to pray for you, and to beg that you may be
filled with the knowledge of the will of God, in all wisdom and
spiritual understanding; that you may walk worthy of God, in all things
pleasing, being fruitful in every good work, and increasing in the
knowledge of God; strengthened with all might according to the power of
His glory, in all patience and long suffering with joy; giving thanks to
God the Father, who hath made us worthy to be partakers of the lot of
the saints in light: who hath delivered us from the power of darkness,
and hath translated us into the kingdom of the Son of His love, in whom
we have redemption through the His Blood, the remission of sins.

GRADUAL
Psalms. 43: 8- 9
Thou hast delivered us, O Lord, from them that afflict us: and hast put
them to shame that hate us. V.: In God we will glory all the day: and in
Thy Name we will give praise for ever. Alleluia, alleluia. V. (Psalm
129:1, 2). From the depths I have cried to Thee, O Lord: Lord, hear my
prayer. Alleluia.
GOSPEL
Matthew 24:15-35

At that time, Jesus said to His disciples:
When you shall see the abomination of desolation, which was spoken of by
Daniel the prophet, standing in the holy place; (he that readeth, let
him understand:) then they that are in Judea, let them flee to the
mountains; and he that is on the house-top, let him not come down to
take anything out of his house; and he that is in the field, let him not
go back to take his coat. And woe to them that are with child and that
give suck, in those days. But pray that your flight be not in the
winter, or on the Sabbath: for there shall be then great tribulation,
such as hath not been found from the beginning of the world until now,
neither shall be: and unless those days had been shortened, no flesh
should be saved; but for the sake of the elect, those days shall be
shortened. Then if any man shall say to you: Lo, here is Christ, or
there; do not believe him; for there shall arise false Christs, and
false prophets, and shall show great signs and wonders, insomuch as to
deceive (if possible) even the elect. Behold I have told it to you
beforehand. If therefore they shall say to you: Behold His is in the
desert, go ye not out; Behold He is in the closets, believe it not. For
as lightning cometh out of the east, and appeareth even in the west, so
shall also the coming of the Son of Man be. Wheresoever the body shall
be, there shall the eagles also be gathered together. And immediately
after the tribulation of those days, the sun shall be darkened, and the
moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and
the powers of heaven shall be moved; and then shall appear the sign of
the Son of Man in heaven, and then shall all the tribes of the earth
mourn; and they shall see the Son of Man coming in the clouds of heaven
with much power and majesty. And He shall send His angels with a trumpet
and a loud voice, and they shall gather together His elect from the four
winds, from the farthest parts of the heavens to the utmost bounds of
them. And from the fig tree learn a parable: when the branch thereof is
now tender, and the leaves come forth, you know that summer is nigh. So
you also, when you shall see all these things, know ye that it is nigh
at the doors. Amen I say to you that this generation shall not pass till
all these things be done. Heaven and earth shall pass away, but My words
shall not pass away.

OFFERTORY
Psalms 129:1, 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 - Be gracious, O Lord, to our
humble entreaties; and receiving the offerings and prayers of Thy
people, turn the hearts of all of us to Thee: that freed from greed of
earthly things, we may pass on to heavenly desires. Through our Lord
Jesus Christ, Thy Son, who liveth and reigneth with Thee in the unity of
the Holy Ghost . . .

PREFACE (Preface of the Most Holy
Trinity) - It it truly meet and just, right and for our salvation, that
we should at all times, and in all places, give thanks unto Thee, O holy
Lord, Father almighty, everlasting God; Who, together with Thine
only-begotten Son, and the Holy Ghost, art one God, one Lord: not in the
oneness of a single Person, but in the Trinity of one substance. For
what we believe by Thy revelation of Thy glory, the same do we believe
of Thy Son, the same of the Holy Ghost, without difference or
separation. So that in confessing the true and everlasting Godhead,
distinction in persons, unity in essence, and equality in majesty may be
adored. Which the Angels and Archangels, the Cherubim also and Seraphim
do praise: who cease not daily to cry out, with one voice saying:

POST COMMUNION - Grant unto us, we
beseech Thee, O Lord, that through these Sacraments which we have
received, whatsoever in our minds is corrupt, may be cured by the gift
of their healing power. Through our Lord Jesus Christ, Thy Son, who
liveth and reigneth with Thee in the unity of the Holy Ghost . . .
