THE EPISTLE

Acts 8.14 – 17

In those days: When the apostles which were at Jerusalem heard that Samaria had received the word of God, they sent unto them Peter and John:  Who, when they were come down, prayed for them, that they might receive the Holy Ghost:  (For as yet he was fallen upon none of them: only they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.)  Then laid they their hands on them, and they received the Holy Ghost.
 
 ALLELUIA

Alleluia.
(St. John 15) The Holy Ghost shall teach you,
Whatsoever I have said unto you,  alleluia.

Here genuflect.

Come, Holy Ghost, and fill the hearts of thy faithful And kindle in them the fire of they love.
 

SEQUENCE

Veni, Sancte Spiritus

Come, thou Holy Spirit, come; and from thy celestial home send thy light and brilliancy.
Come, thou father of the poor, come who givest all our store, come the soul’s true radiancy;
Come, of comforter’s the best, of the soul the sweetest guest, sweetly and refreshingly;
People  Come, in labour rest most sweet, shade and coolness in the heat, comfort in adversity.
Thou who art the Light most blest, come fulfill their inmost breast, who believe most faithfully;
People  For without thy Godhead’s dower, man hath nothing in his power, save to work iniquity;
What is filthy make thou pure, what is wounded work its cure, water what is parched and dry;
Gently bend the stubborn will, warm to life the heart that’s chill,, guide who goeth erringly;
Fill thy faithful who adore, and confess thee evermore, with thy sevenfold mystery;
People  Here thy grace and virtue send, grant salvation in the end, and in heaven felicity.
All:       Amen, Alleluia.
 

THE GOSPEL

St. John 10.1 – 10

At that time: Jesus said unto the Pharisees: Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that entereth not by the door into the sheepfold, but climbeth up some other way, the same is a thief and a robber. But he that entereth in by the door is the shepherd of the sheep. To him the porter openeth; and the sheep hear his voice: and he calleth his own sheep by name, and leadeth them out. And when he putteth forth his own sheep, he goeth before them, and the sheep follow him: for they know his voice. And a stranger will they not follow, but will flee from him: for they know not the voice of strangers. This parable spake Jesus unto them: but they understood not what things they were which he spake unto them. Then said Jesus unto them again, Verily, verily, I say unto you, I am the door of the sheep. All that ever came before me are thieves and robbers: but the sheep did not hear them. I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture. The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.
 
The Creed is said.
