Lesson from Isaias the Prophet.
Thus saith the Lord: Loose the bands of wickedness, undo the bundles that oppress, let them that are broken go free, and break asunder every burden. Deal thy bread to the hungry, and bring the needy and the harborless into thy house: when thou shalt see one naked, cover him, and despise not thy own flesh. Then shall thy light break forth as the morning, and thy health shall speedily arise, and thy justice shall go before thy face, and the glory of the Lord shall gather thee up. Then shalt thou call, and the Lord shall hear: thou shalt cry, and he shall say, Here I am. When thou shalt pour out thy soul to the hungry, and shalt satisfy the afflicted soul, then shall thy light rise up in darkness, and thy darkness shall be as the noonday.
Thanks be to God. |

He shall deliver the poor from the mighty, and the needy that had no helper; He shall spare the poor and needy, and save the souls of the poor. V. From usuries and iniquity He shall redeem their souls: and their names shall be honorable before Him. |

The Lord be with you. R. And with thy spirit. The continuation of the holy Gospel according to Matthew. R. Glory to Thee, O Lord
At that time a certain lawyer willing to justify himself, said to Jesus, 'And who is my neighbor?' And Jesus answering said, "A certain man went down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and fell among robbers, who also stripped him, and having wounded him, went away, leaving him half dead: and it chanced that a certain priest went down the same way, and seeing him, passed by. In like manner also a levite, when he was near the place and saw him, passed by. But a certain Samaritan being on his journey, came near him, and seeing him, was moved with compassion; and going up to him, bound up his wounds, pouring in oil and wine; and, setting him upon his own beast, brought him to an inn, and took care of him: and the next day he took out two pence, and gave to to the host, and said, 'Take care of him, and whatsoever thou shalt spend over and above, I, at my return, will repay thee.' Which of these three, in thy opinion, was neighbor to him that fell among robbers?" But he said, He that showed mercy to him. And Jesus said to him, "Go and do thou in like manner."

The Lord be with you. R. And with thy spirit. Let us pray. Because I delivered the poor man that cried out, and the fatherless that had no helper: the blessing of him that was about to perish came upon me. And I comforted the heart of the widow: I was an eye to the blind, and a foot to the lame, I was a father to the poor. |

The Lord be with you. R. And with thy spirit. Lift up your hearts. R.We have lifted them up to the Lord. Let us give thanks to the Lord our God. R. It is meet and just. 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: HOLY, HOLY, HOLY... |

I will feed my sheep, and will cause them to lie down saith the Lord God. I will seek that which was lost, and that which was driven away I will bring back, and that which was broken I will bind up, and I will make strong that which was weak. |
