EPISTLE ¤ I Cor. 15. 1-10 Lesson from the first Epistle of Blessed Paul the Apostle to the Corinthians. [The Apostle reminds the Christian of the miraculous transformation which has taken place in him through the grace of God.] Brethren, I make known unto you the Gospel which I preached to you, which also you have received and wherein you stand, by which also you are saved, if you hold fast after what manner I preached unto you, unless you have believed in vain. For I delivered unto you first of all, which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures; and that He was buried, and that He rose again the third day according to the Scriptures; and that He was seen by Cephas, and after that by the eleven. Then was He seen by more than five hundred brethren at once; of whom many remain until this present, but some are fallen asleep. After that He was seen by James, then by all the Apostles. And last of all He was seen by me, as by one born out of due time. For I am the least of the Apostles, who am not worthy to be called an Apostle, because I persecuted the Church of God. But by the grace of God I am what I am; and His grace in me hath not been void. GRADUAL ¤ Ps. 27. 7, 1 In God hath my heart confided, and I have been helped; and my flesh hath flourished again; and with my will I will give praise to Him. V.: Unto Thee have I cried, O Lord: O my God, be not Thou silent; depart not from me. Alleluia, alleluia. V.(Ps. 80. 2, 3). Rejoice in God our helper; sing aloud to the God of Jacob; take a pleasant pslam with the harp. Alleluia. GOSPEL ¤ Mark 7. 31-37 † Continuation of the holy Gospel according to St. Mark. [Jesus heals the deaf and dumb.] At that time, Jesus going out to the coasts of Tyre, came by Sidon to the sea of Galilee, through the midst of the coasts of Decapolis. And they bring to Him one deaf and dumb, and they besought Him that He would lay His hand upon him. And taking him from the multitude apart, He put His fingers into his ears, and spitting, He touched his tongue; and looking up to heaven, He groaned and said to him: Ephpheta, that is, Be thou opened: and immediately his ears were opened, and the string of his tongue was loosed, and he spoke right. And He charged them that they should tell no man: but the more He charged them so much the more a great deal did they publish it; and so much the more did they wonder, saying: He hath done all things well; He hath made both the deaf to hear, and the dumb to speak. SPIRITUAL COMMUNION My Jesus, really present in the Holy Sacrament of the Altar, since I cannot now receive Thee under the Sacramental veil, I beseech Thee, with a heart full of love and longing, to come spiritually into my soul through the Immaculate Heart of Thy Most Holy Mother, and abide with me forever; Thou in me, and I in Thee, in time and in eternity in Mary. Amen youtube/watch?v=azeshmwXUzg
