Dominica I post Pentecosten

O Lord, I have trusted in Thy mercy: my heart shall rejoice in Thy salvation: I will sing to the Lord, who giveth me good things.

O God, the strength of them that hope in Thee, graciously hear our prayers: and since without Thee mortal weakness can do nothing, grant us ever the help of Thy grace. Through our Lord.

Dearly beloved: God is charity. By this hath the charity of God appeared towards us, because God hath sent His only begotten Son into the world, that we may live by Him. In this is charity: not as though we had loved God, but because He hath first loved us. Dearly beloved, if God hath so loved us, we also ought to love one another.

I said: O Lord, be Thou merciful to me: heal my soul, for I have sinned against Thee. Blessed is he that understandeth concerning the needy and the poor: the Lord will deliver him in the evil day.

At that time: Jesus said to His disciples: Be ye merciful, as your Father also is merciful. Judge not, and you shall not be judged. Condemn not, and you shall not be condemned. Forgive, and you shall be forgiven. Give, and it shall be given to you: good measure and pressed down and shaken together and running over shall they give into your bosom.

Being filled with such great gifts, grant us, we beseech Thee, O Lord, both to receive what is profitable for salvation, and never to cease from Thy praise. Through our Lord.
