EPISTLE. Heb. ix. 11. 15.-Brethren: Christ being come an high priest of the good things to come, by a greater and more perfect tabernacle not made with hands, that is, not of this creation: neither by the blood of goats, or of calves, but by his own blood, entered once into the Holies, having obtained eternal redemption. For if the blood of goats and of oxen, and the ashes of an heifer being sprinkled, sanctify such as are defiled, to the cleansing of the flesh: how much more shall the blood of Christ (who by the Holy Ghost offered himself unspotted unto God) cleanse our conscience from dead works to serve the living God? And therefore he is the mediator of the new testament: that by means of his death, for the redemption of those transgressions which were under the former testa

ment, they that are called may receive the promise of eternal inheritance.

GRAD. Ps. cxlii.-Deliver tne, O Lord, from my enemies; teach me to do thy will. P's. xvii. Thou, O Lord, art my deliverer from the enraged Gentiles: thou wilt put me out of the reach of those that assault me: and thou wilt rescue me from the unrighteous man

* TRACT. Ps. cxxviii.-Sæpe expugnaverunt me a juventute mea. Many a time have they fought against me from my youth. V. Let Israel now say: They have often attacked me from my youth. V. But they could not prevail over me: the wicked have wrought upon my back. V. They have lengthened their ini quity: the Lord, who is just, will cut the necks of

sinners.

GOSPEL. John viii. 46. 59.—At that time: Jesus said to the multitude of the Jews: Which of you shall convince me of sin? If I say the truth to you, why do you not believe me? He that is of God, heareth the words of God. Therefore you hear them not because you are not of God. The Jews therefore answered, and said to him: Do not we say well that thou art a Samaritan, and hast a devil? Jesus answered: I have not a devil: but I honour my Father, and you have dishonoured me. But I seek not my own glory: there is one that sceketh and judgeth. Amen, amen, I say to you: If any man keep my word, he shall not see death for ever. The Jews therefore said: Now we know that thou hast a devil. Abraham is dead, and the prophets: and thou sayest: If any man keep my word, he shall not taste death for ever. Art thou greater than our Father Abraham, who is dead? and the prophets are dead. Whom dost thou make thyself? Jesus answered: If I glorify myself, my glory is nothing. It is my Father that glorifieth me, of whoni

you say that he is your God. And you have not known him, but I know him. And if I should say that I know him not, I should be like to you, a liar. But I do know him, and do keep his word. Abraham your father rejoiced that he might see my day: he saw it, and was glad. The Jews then said to

him: Thou art not yet fifty years old, and hast thou seen Abraham? Jesus said to them: Amen, amen, I say to you, before Abraham was made, I am. They took up stones therefore to cast at him. But Jesus hid himself, and went out of the temple.

LESSON. Jonas iii. 1. 10.-In those days: The

word of the Lord came to Jonas the second time, saying: Arise and go to Ninive the great city and preach in it the preaching that I bid thee. And Jonas arose, and went to Ninive according to the word of the Lord: now Ninive was a great city of three days journey. And Jonas began to enter into the city one day's journey: and he cried and said: Yet forty days and Ninive shall be destroyed. And the men of Ninive believed in God: and they proclaimed a fast, and put on sackcloth from the greatest to the least. And the word came to the King of Ninive: and he rose up out of his throne, and cast away his robe from him, and was cloathed with sackcloth, and sat in ashes. And he caused it to be proclaimed and published in Ninive from the mouth of the king and of his princes, saying: Let neither men_nor beasts, oxen nor sheep, taste any thing: let them not feed, nor drink water. And let men and beasts be covered with sackcloth, and cry to the Lord with all their strength, and let them turn every one from his evil way, and from the iniquity that is in their hands. Who can tell if God will turn, and forgive and will turn away from his fierce anger, and we shall not perish? And God saw their works, that they were turned from their evil way; and the Lord our God had mercy on the people.

GOSPEL. John vii. 32. 39.-At that time: The rulers and Pharisees sent ministers to apprehend Jesus. Jesus therefore said to them: Yet a little while I am with you: and then I go to him that sent me. You shall seek me, and shall not find me: and where I am, thither you cannot come. The Jews therefore, said among themselves: Whither

will he go, that we shall not find him? will he go to the dispersed among the Gentiles, and teach the Gentiles? What is this saying that he hath said: You shall seck me, and shall not find me; and where I am you cannot come? And on the last and great day of the festival, Jesus stood and cried, saying: if any man thirst, let him come to me, and drink. He that believeth in me, as the scripture saith," Out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water." Now this he said of the Spirit which they should receive who believed in him.
