PSALM 1

BLESSED is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful.

2 But his delight is in the law of the LORD; and in his law doth he meditate day and night.

3 And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.

4 The ungodly are not so: but are like the chaff which the wind driveth away.

5 Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous.

6 For the LORD knoweth the way of the righteous: but the way of the ungodly shall perish.

THE GOSPEL ACCORDING TO ST. JOHN.

CHAPTER 14:

15 ¶ If ye love me, keep my commandments. 
16 And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may  abide with you for ever;

26 But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.

18 I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you.

CHAPTER 16:

7 Nevertheless I tell you the truth; It is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him unto you.

33 These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.

CHAPTER 31:

6 Be strong and of a good courage, fear not, nor be afraid of them: for the LORD thy God, he it is that doth go with thee; he will not fail thee, nor forsake thee.

CHAPTER 8:

38 For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come,

39 Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

see: to whom be honour and power
everlasting. Amen.

3 But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them

not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of
Christ, who is the image of God, should
shine unto them.

CHAPTER 9:

3 And as he journeyed, he came near
Damascus: and suddenly there shined
round about him a light from heaven:
4 And he fell to the earth, and heard a
voice saying unto him, Saul, Saul, why
persecutest thou me?
5 And he said, Who art thou, Lord? And
the Lord said, I am Jesus whom thou
persecutest: it is hard for thee to kick
against the pricks.
6 And he trembling and astonished said,
Lord, what wilt thou have me to do? And
the Lord said unto him, Arise, and go into
the city, and it shall be told thee what thou
must do.
7 And the men which journeyed with him
stood speechless, hearing a voice, but
seeing no man.
8 And Saul arose from the earth; and
when his eyes were opened, he saw no
man: but they led him by the hand, and
brought him into Damascus.
9 And he was three days without sight,
and neither did eat nor drink.

 CHAPTER 22:

6 And it came to pass, that, as I made my
journey, and was come nigh unto
Damascus about noon, suddenly there
shone from heaven a great light round
about me.
7 And I fell unto the ground, and heard a
voice saying unto me, Saul, Saul, why
persecutest thou me?
8 And I answered, Who art thou, Lord?
And he said unto me, I am Jesus of
Nazareth, whom thou persecutest.
9 And they that were with me saw indeed
the light, and were afraid; but they heard
not the voice of him that spake to me.
10 And I said, What shall I do, Lord? And
the Lord said unto me, Arise, and go into
Damascus; and there it shall be told thee
of all things which are appointed for thee
to do.
11 And when I could not see for the glory
of that light, being led by the hand of them
that were with me, I came into Damascus.
12 And one Ananias, a devout man
according to the law, having a good report
of all the Jews which dwelt there,
13 Came unto me, and stood, and said
unto me, Brother Saul, receive thy sight.
And the same hour I looked up upon him.
14 And he said, The God of our fathers
hath chosen thee, that thou shouldest
know his will, and see that Just One, and
shouldest hear the voice of his mouth.

CHAPTER 26:

13 At midday, O king, I saw in the way a
light from heaven, above the brightness of
the sun, shining round about me and them
which journeyed with me.
14 And when we were all fallen to the
earth, I heard a voice speaking unto me,
and saying in the Hebrew tongue, Saul,
Saul, why persecutest thou me? it is hard
for thee to kick against the pricks.
15 And I said, Who art thou, Lord? And
he said, I am Jesus whom thou
persecutest.
16 But rise, and stand upon thy feet: for I
have appeared unto thee for this purpose,
to make thee a minister and a witness both
of these things which thou hast seen, and
of those things in the which I will appear
unto thee;

17 Delivering thee from the people, and
from the Gentiles, unto whom now I send
thee,
18 To open their eyes, and to turn them
from darkness to light, and from the power
of Satan unto God, that they may receive
forgiveness of sins, and inheritance among
them which are sanctified by faith that is
in me.

9 She shall give to thine head an ornament
of grace: a crown of glory shall she
deliver to thee.
10 Hear, O my son, and receive my
sayings; and the years of thy life shall be
many.
11 I have taught thee in the way of
wisdom; I have led thee in right paths.
12 When thou goest, thy steps shall not be
straitened; and when thou runnest, thou
shalt not stumble.
13 Take fast hold of instruction; let her
not go: keep her; for she is thy life.
