My LORD’s BibleThe Roman Missal: Seventh to Twelfth Sundays after Pentecost (English) 4
1[Tenth Sunday after Pentecost.]
2Introit. Ps. liv. When I cried to the Lord he heard my voice, from them that draw near to me; and he humbled them, who is before all ages and remains for ever: cast thy care upon the Lord, and he shall sustain thee. Hear, O God, my prayer, and despise not my supplication; be attentive to me and hear me. Glory, &c.
3Prayer. Deus qui omnipotentiam. O God, who dost particularly manifest thy omnipotence by sparing and shewing mercy, multiply thy mercy towards us; that running to the possession of what thou hast promised, thou mayest make us partakers of heavenly goods. Through our Lord, &c.

6Epistle. 1 Corinthians xii. 2—11. Brethren, you know that, when you were heathens, you went to dumb idols, according as you were led. Wherefore I give you to understand, that no man, speaking by the Spirit of God, saith Anathema to Jesus; and no man can say, The Lord Jesus, but by the Holy Ghost. Now there are diversities of graces, but the same Spirit; and there are diversities of ministeries, but the same Lord; and there are diversities of operations, but the same God, who worketh all in all. And the manifestation of the Spirit is given to every man unto profit. To one indeed, by the Spirit, is given the word of wisdom; and to another, the word of knowledge, according to the same Spirit; to another, faith in the same Spirit; to another, the grace of healing in one Spirit; to another the working of miracles; to another, prophecy; to another, the discerning of spirits; to another, divers kind of tongues; to another, interpretation of speeches. But all these things one and the same Spirit worketh, dividing to every one according as he will.
7Gradual. Keep me, O Lord, as the apple of thy eye: protect me under the shadow of thy wings.—Let my judgment come forth from thy countenance: let thy eyes behold the things that are equitable. Alleluia, alleluia.—A hymn, O God, becometh thee in Sion: and a vow shall be paid to thee in Jerusalem. Alleluia.
8Gospel. St Luke xviii. 9—14. At that time, Jesus spoke this parable to some who trusted in themselves as just, and despised others: Two men went up into the temple to pray; the one was a Pharisee, and the other a Publican. The Pharisee standing, prayed thus with himself: O God, I give thee thanks that I am not as the rest of men, extortioners, unjust, adulterers; as also is this publican. I fast twice in the week; I give tithes of all that I possess. And the publican standing afar off, would not so much as lift up his eyes towards heaven, but struck his breast, saying, O God, be merciful to me a sinner. I say to you, this man went down to his house justified rather than the other: because every one that exalteth himself shall be humbled, and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted.

10Offertory. To thee, O Lord, have I lifted up my soul: in thee, O my God, I put my trust, let me not be ashamed: neither let my enemies laugh at me: for none of them that wait on thee shall be confounded.
11Secret. To thee, O Lord, may our devoted sacrifices be offered, which thou hast so granted us to bring before thee in honour of thy name, as to allow the same to become our saving remedies. Through, &c.

14Postcom. Quæsumus Domine. We beseech thee, O Lord our God, that in thy mercy thou wouldest not deprive those of thy graces whom thou dost not cease to recruit with thy divine sacraments. Through our Lord, &c.
