Epistle
Lesson from the book of Ecclesiasticus
(Ecclus 45:1-6)
Beloved of God and men, whose memory is held in benediction. He made him like the Saints in glory, and magnified him in the fear of his enemies, and with his words He made prodigies to cease. He glorified him in the sight of kings, and gave him Commandments in the sight of his people, and revealed to him His glory. He sanctified him in his faith and meekness, and chose him out of all flesh. For He heard him and his voice, and brought him into a cloud. And, face to face, He gave him the Commandments, the law of life and understanding.
Gradual

O Lord, You welcomed him with goodly blessings, You placed on his head a crown of pure gold.

(Ps 91:13)
The just man shall flourish like the palm tree, like a cedar of Lebanon shall he grow. Alleluia.
Gospel
Continuation ☩ of the Holy Gospel according to Matthew
(Matt 5:43-48)
At that time, Jesus said to His disciples, You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall love your neighbor, and shall hate your enemy.’ But I say to you, love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who persecute and calumniate you, so that you may be children of your Father in heaven, Who makes His sun to rise on the good and the evil, and sends rain on the just and the unjust. For if you love those that love you, what reward shall you have? Do not even the publicans do that? And if you salute your brethren only, what are you doing more than others? Do not even the Gentiles do that? You therefore are to be perfect, even as your heavenly Father is perfect.
Offertory
(Ps 20:3-4)
You have granted him his heart’s desire, O Lord; You refused not the wish of his lips. You placed on his head a crown of pure gold. (Allelúja.)
Secret
We beseech You, O Lord, may the holy Abbot Joánnis Gualbérti, prevail by his prayers, so that the offerings placed upon Your sacred altar may be beneficial for our salvation.

Preface
(Common)
It is truly meet and just, and profitable unto salvation, that we should at all times, and in all places, give thanks to Thee, O Holy Lord, Father Almighty, eternal God, through Christ, our Lord. Through whom the Angels praise Thy Majesty, the Dominions adore it, the Powers are in awe. Which the heavens and the hosts of heaven together with the blessed Seraphim joyfully do magnify. And do Thou command that it be permitted us to join with them in confessing Thee, while we say with lowly praise:
Communion
(Luke 12:42)
The faithful and prudent servant whom the master will set over his household to give them their ration of grain in due time. (Allelúja.)
Postcommunion
May the pleading of the blessed Abbot Joánnis Gualbérti for us, together with the partaking of Your sacrament, protect us, O Lord, so that we, mindful of his way of life, may obtain the help of his intercession.
Through our Lord…
