COLLECT
O God,
Who dost in wonderful order dispose the ministries of angels and men,
mercifully grant that our lives be fortified by those who continually stand in
Thy presence and minister before Thee in heaven. Through the same Jesus Christ,
Thy Son, Who liveth and reigneth with Thee in the unity of the Holy Ghost, God…
EPISTLE: Apocalypse
1: 1-15
Lesson from the
Book of the Apocalypse of blessed John the Apostle
In
those days: God signified the things which must shortly come to pass, sending
by His angel to His servant John, who hath given testimony to the word of God,
and the testimony of Jesus Christ, what things soever he hath seen. Blessed is
he that readeth and heareth the words of this prophecy, and keepeth those
things which are written in it; for the time is at hand. John to the seven
churches which are in Asia: Grace be unto you and peace from Him that is, and
that was, and that is to come; and from the seven spirits which are before His
throne; and from Jesus Christ, Who is the faithful witness, the first begotten
of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth Who hath loved us, and
washed us from our sins in His own blood.
GRADUAL: Psalm 102:
20, 1
Bless
the Lord all ye His angels: you that are mighty in strength, that do His will.
O my
soul, bless thou the Lord: and all that is within me praise His holy name.
ALLELUIA
Alleluia,
alleluia. Holy archangel Michael, defend us in battle, that we perish not in
the dreadful judgment. Alleluia. The sea was shaken, and the earth trembled,
when the archangel Michael descended from Heaven. Alleluia.
Except ye be converted,
and become as little children...
GOSPEL: Matthew
18: 1-10
At that
time the disciples came to Jesus, saying, Who,
thinkest Thou, is the greater in the kingdom of Heaven? And Jesus calling unto
Him a little child, set him in the midst of them, and said, “Amen, I say to
you, unless you be converted, and become as little children, you shall not
enter into the kingdom of Heaven. Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as
this little child he is the greater in the kingdom of Heaven: and he that shall
receive one such little child in My name, receiveth Me; but he that shall
scandalize one of these little ones that believe in Me, it were better for him
that a millstone should be hanged about his neck, and that he should be drowned
in the depth of the sea. Woe to the world because of scandals: for it must
needs be that scandals come; but nevertheless woe to that man by whom the
scandal cometh. And if thy hand, or thy foot, scandalize thee, cut it off, and
cast it from thee. It is better for thee to go into life maimed or lame, than
having two hands or two feet, to be cast into everlasting fire. And if thy eye
scandalize thee, pluck it out, and cast it from thee. It is better for thee
having one eye to enter into life, than having two eyes to be cast into hell
fire. See that you despise not one of these little ones; for I say to you, that
their angels in Heaven always see the face of My Father Who is in Heaven.”
OFFERTORY:
Apocalypse 8: 3-4
An
angel stood near the altar of the temple, having a golden censer in his hand:
and there was given to him much incense: and the smoke of the perfumes ascended
before God, alleluia.
Glorious St. Michael,
Defend us in battle…
SECRET
We
offer Thee sacrifices of praise, O Lord, humbly praying that Thou be pleased to
receive them, through the angelic intercession in our behalf, and grant that
they may avail for, our salvation. Through our Lord Jesus Christ, Thy Son, Who
liveth and reigneth with Thee in the unity of the Holy Ghost, God, Forever and
ever.
COMMON PREFACE
It is
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: through Christ our Lord. Through Whom the Angels praise Thy
Majesty, the Dominations worship it, the Powers stand in awe. The Heavens and
the Heavenly hosts together with the blessed Seraphim in triumphant chorus
unite to celebrate it. Together with them we entreat Thee, that Thou mayest bid
our voices also to be admitted, while we say in lowly praise:
Sanctus, Sanctus, Sanctus
Dominus Deus Sabaoth. Pleni sunt coeli et terra gloria Tua. Hosanna in
excelsis. Benedictus qui venit in nomine Domini. Hosanna in excelsis.
COMMUNION: Daniel
3: 58
All ye
angels of the Lord, bless the Lord: sing a hymn, and exalt Him above all
forever, alleluia.
POSTCOMMUNION
Relying
upon the intercession of blessed Michael, Thine archangel, O Lord, we Thy
suppliants pray that what we perform with our lips we may attain with our
hearts. Through our Lord Jesus Christ, Who livest and reignest, with God the
Father, in the unity of the Holy Ghost, one God.
