Almighty, eternal God, You Who have given Your servants, in the confession of the true faith, to acknowledge the glory of the eternal Trinity, and in the power of that majesty to adore its unity, grant, we beseech You, that in the firmness of this faith we may ever be protected from all harm.

Lesson from the letter of St. Paul the Apostle to the Romans

Oh, the depth of the riches of the wisdom and of the knowledge of God! How incomprehensible and His judgments and how unsearchable His ways! For Who has known the mind of the Lord, or who has been His counselor? Or who has first given to Him, that recompense should be made him? For from Him and through Him and unto Him are all things. To Him be the glory forever. Amen.

Blessed are You, O Lord, Who look into the depths from Your throne upon the Cherubim.

Blessed are You, O Lord, in the firmament of heaven, and praiseworthy forever. Alleluia, alleluia.

Blessed are You, O Lord, the God of our fathers, and praiseworthy forever. Alleluia.

Continuation + of the Holy Gospel according to Matthew

At that time, Jesus said to His disciples: All power in heaven and on earth has been given to Me. Go, therefore, and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you; and behold, I am with you all days, even unto the consummation of the world.

Blessed be God the Father, and the only-begotten Son of God, and also the Holy Spirit: because He has shown His mercy to us.

We call upon Your Name, O Lord, and beseech You to hallow this sacrificial offering and through it to make us an eternal offering to You.

We bless the God of heaven, and before all living we will praise Him; because He has shown His mercy to us.

May the reception of this sacrament, O Lord our God, and the profession of our faith in the eternal holy Trinity and undivided Unity, benefit us for the salvation of body and soul.

O God, the Strength of all them that put their trust in thee, mercifully accept our prayers, and because through the weakness of our mortal nature we can do no good thing without thee, grant us the help of thy grace, that in keeping of thy commandments we may please thee, both in will and deed.

Filled, O Lord, as we are with so great bounties, we beseech thee; that we may receive the gifts of salvation, and never cease from thy praise.

Be appeased O Lord, we beseech thee, and accept the victims we dedicate to thee, and grant that they may avail us for perpetual aid.

Continuation + of the Holy Gospel according to Luke In that time Jesus said to his disciples: Be ye therefore merciful, as your Father also is merciful. Judge not, and you shall not be judged. Condemn not, and you shall not be condemned. Forgive, and you shall be forgiven. Give, and it shall be given to you: good measure and pressed down and shaken together and running over shall they give into your bosom. For with the same measure that you shall mete withal, it shall be measured to you again. And he spoke also to them a similitude: Can the blind lead the blind? do they not both fall into the ditch? The disciple is not above his master: but every one shall be perfect, if he be as his master. And why seest thou the mote in thy brother's eye: but the beam that is in thy own eye thou considerest not? Or how canst thou say to thy brother: Brother, let me pull the mote out of thy eye, when thou thyself seest not the beam in thy own eye? Hypocrite, cast first the beam out of thy own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to take out the mote from thy brother's eye.
