July 27 - St. Pantaleon, Martyr

Introit: Psalms liii. 6-7

    Behold God is my helper, and the Lord is the protector of my soul: turn back the evils upon my enemies, and cut them off in Thy truth, O Lord my protector. Ps. Save me, O God, by Thy name, and deliver me in Thy strength. ℣. Glory be to the Father.

Collect

    Let Thy merciful ears, O Lord, be open to the prayers of Thy suppliant people, and that Thou mayest grant them their petitions, make them to ask such things as shall please Thee. Through our Lord.

Commemoration of St. Pantaleon:

Collect

    Grant, we beseech Thee, O almighty God, that, by the intercession of blessed Pantaleon, Thy martyr, we may be both delivered from all adversities of the body and cleansed from all evil thoughts of the mind. Through our Lord.

Epistle: 1 Corinthians x. 6-13

    Lesson from the Epistle of blessed Paul the Apostle to the Corinthians. Brethren, let us not covet evil things, as they also coveted. Neither become ye idolaters, as some of them: as it is written: The people sat down to eat and drink, and rose up to play. Neither let us commit fornication, as some of them committed fornication, and there fell in one day three and twenty thousand. Neither let us tempt Christ, as some of them tempted, and perished by the serpents. Neither do you murmur, as some of them murmured, and were destroyed by the destroyer. Now all these things happened to them in figure, and they are written for our correction, upon whom the ends of the world are come. Wherefore he that thinketh himself to stand, let him take heed lest he fall. Let no temptation take hold on you, but such as is human: and God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that which you are able; but will make also with temptation issue, that you max be able to bear it.

Gradual: Psalms viii. 2

    O Lord our Lord, how admirable is Thy name in the whole earth! ℣. For Thy magnificence is elevated above the heavens.

Alleluia: Psalms lviii. 2

    Alleluia, alleluia. ℣. Deliver me from my enemies, O my God: and defend me from them that rise up against me. Alleluia.

Gospel: Luke xix. 41-47

    + The continuation of the holy Gospel according to St. Luke. At that time, when Jesus drew near to Jerusalem, seeing the city, He wept over it saying: If thou also hadst known, and that in this day, the things that are to thy peace: but now they are hidden from thy eyes. For the days shall come upon thee, and thy enemies shall cast a trench about thee, and compass thee round, and straiten thee on every side; and beat thee flat to the ground, and thy children who are in thee; and they shall not leave in thee a stone upon a stone, because thou hast not known the time of thy visitation. And entering into the temple, He began to cast out them that sold therein, and them that bought, saying to them: It is written, My house is the house of prayer, but you have made it a den of thieves. And He was teaching daily in the temple.

Offertory: Psalms xviii. 9, 10, 11, 12

    The justices of the Lord are right, rejoicing hearts, and His judgments sweeter than honey and the honey-comb: for thy servant keepeth them.
