Our Father Who art in heaven,
hallowed be Thy name,
Thy kingdom come,
Thy will be done
on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread,
and forgive us our trespasses,
as we forgive those who trespass against us,
and lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil.

THE FIRST ODE
-
An Ode of Moses in the Exodus.
Exodus 15: 1-19
-
When he had drowned Pharao in the deep, Moses said, Let us
sing unto the Lord, for He is gloriously glorified.
Let us sing unto the Lord, for He is gloriously glorified; the
horse and his rider hath He thrown into the sea.
He was to me a helper and protector for salvation. He is my
God, and I will glorify Him; my father's God, and I will exalt Him.
The Lord bringing wars to nought; the Lord is His name.
Pharao's chariots and his hosts hath He cast into the sea; the
chosen mounted captains hath He plunged into the
Red Sea.
He covered them with the sea; they sank into the depths as a
stone.
Thy right hand, O Lord, is become glorified in power; Thy
right hand, O Lord, hath dashed in pieces the enemy; and in the
greatness of Thy glory hast Thou overthrown them that rose up
against Thee.
Thou sentest forth Thy wrath; it consumed them as stubble.
And with the breath of Thine anger the waters parted
asunder; the waters were congealed as a wall, the waves were
congealed in the midst of the sea.
The enemy said, I will pursue, I will overtake, I will divide the
spoil, I will satisfy my soul, I will destroy with my sword; my right
hand shall have the dominion.
Thou sentest forth Thy wind, the sea covered them; they sank
as lead in the mighty water.
Who is like unto Thee, O Lord, among the gods? Who is like
Thee, glorious in holiness, marvellous in glories, doing wonders?
Thou stretchedst out Thy right hand; the earth swallowed
them.
Thou in Thy righteousness hast guided this Thy people which
Thou hast redeemed; Thou calledst them in Thy strength unto Thy
holy habitation.
The heathen heard, and were angry; pangs took hold upon
the inhabitants of Philistia.
Then the princes of Edom made haste, the princes also of the
Moabites; trembling took hold upon them; all the inhabitants of
Chanaan melted away.
Let fear and trembling fall upon them; by the greatness of
Thine arm let them become as stone,
Till Thy people pass over, O Lord; till they pass over, this
people, which Thou hast purchased.
Bring them in, and plant them in the mountain of Thine
inheritance; in the place, O Lord, which Thou hast made for Thee
to dwell in, in the sanctuary which Thy hands have established.
The Lord reigning for ever and ever.
For the horse of Pharao went in with his chariots and with his
horsemen into the sea, and the Lord brought again the waters of
the sea upon them; but the children of Israel went on dry ground
in the midst of the sea.
Glory. Both now.
Canticle of Jeremias:
Jer. 31, 10-14
HEAR the word of the Lord, O ye nations, and declare it in the islands that are afar off,
And say: He that scattered Israel will gather him: and he will keep him as the shepherd doth his flock.
For the Lord hath redeemed Jacob, and delivered him out of the hand of one that was mightier than he.
And they shall come, and shall give praise in mount Sion: and they shall flow together to the good things of the Lord,
For the corn, and wine, and oil, and the increase of cattle and herds,
And their soul shall be as a watered garden, and they shall be hungry no more.
Then shall the virgin rejoice in the dance, the young men and old men together:
And I will turn their mourning into joy, and will comfort them, and make them joyful after their sorrow.
And I will fill the soul of the priests with fatness: and my people shall be filled with my good things.
Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost.
As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.
Ant. My people, saith the Lord, shall be filled with my good things.
Ant. 5 To our God.

THANKS TO YOU, OUR ONLY LORD AND SAVIOUR JESUS CHRIST, FOR ALL THE GIFTS YOUR HAVE WON FOR US, FOR ALL THE PAINS AND INSULTS YOU HAVE BORN FOR US.
O MERCIFUL REDEEMER, FRIEND AND BROTHER, MAY WE KNOW YOU
MORE CLEARLY, LOVE YOU MORE DEARLY, AND FOLLOW YOU MORE NEARLY, UNTO THE ENDLESS AGES OF AGES TO COME
THE HOLY GOSPEL ACCORDING TO ST. LUKE (CH. 9 : 10-17)
And the Apostles, when they had returned, told Him all that they had done. Then He took them, and went aside privately into a deserted place belonging to the city called Bethsaida. And the multitude, when they knew it, followed Him: and He received them, and spoke to them about the kingdom of God, and healed those who had need of healing.
And when the day began to wear away, the twelve came, and said to Him, “Send the multitude away, that they may go into the towns and country round about, and lodge, and get provisions: for we are here in a deserted place.”
But He said unto them, “You give them to eat.” And they said, “We have no more than five loaves and two fish; unless we go and buy food for all these people.” For they were about five thousand men. And He said to His disciples, “Make them sit down in groups of fifty.” And they did so, and made them all sit down.
Then He took the five loaves and the two fish, and looking up to heaven, He blessed them, and broke, and gave to the disciples to set before the multitude. And they ate, and were all filled, and twelve baskets of the remaining fragments were taken by them.
Glory to God forever. Amen.
