Patriarchs & Prophets of the Old Law / Octave of All Saints / 22 Trinity / Four Crowned Martyrs

Matins Lessons:

Ecclesiasticus 2:1-11 / Hebrews 11:1-31

Collect of the Day: 

O God, who didst show forth thy divine wisdom in ancient times through thy Patriarchs and Prophets: grant that we may imitate their example on earth and enjoy their intercession in heaven. Through Jesus Christ thy Son our Lord, who liveth and reigneth with thee and the Holy Ghost, ever one God, world without end. Amen.

For the Epistle: Deuteronomy 18:17-19

The LORD said unto me, they have well spoken that which they have spoken. I will raise them up a Prophet from among their brethren, like unto thee, and will put my words in his mouth; and he shall speak unto them all that I shall command him. And it shall come to pass, that whosoever will not hearken unto my words which he shall speak in my name, I will require it of him.

The Holy Gospel: St. Matthew 5:13-18

At that time, Jesus, said unto the multitudes: Ye are the salt of the earth: but if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be salted? it is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out, and to be trodden under foot of men. Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid. Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house. Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven. Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil. For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled.
