tribe of Zabulon, twelve thousand of the tribe of Joseph, twelve thousand of the tribe of Benjamin. After this I saw a great multitude, which no one could number, of all nations, and tribes, and people, and tongues, standing before the throne, and in presence of the lamb, clothed in white robes, and with palms in their hands: and they cried out with a loud voice, saying: Salvation to our God that sitteth on the throne, and to the lamb. And all the Angels stood round about the throne, and about the Elders and the four living creatures, and they fell before the throne on their faces, and adored God, saying: Amen. Blessing, and glory, and wisdom, and thanksgiving, honor, power, and strength be to our God, for ever and ever. Amen.

GOSPEL. Matt. v. 1. 12.

T that time: Jesus seeing the multitudes, he went

Apatountain, and when he was set, his disciples

came unto him and opening his mouth, he taught them saying: Blessed are the poor in spirit; for their's is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are the meek: for they shall possess the land. Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted. Blessed are they that hunger, and thirst after righteousness; for they shall have their fill. Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy. Blessed are the clean of heart: for they shall see God. Blessed are the peace-makers: for they shall be called the children of God. Blessed are they that suffor persecution for justice sake: for their's is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all that is evil against you untruly, on my account; be glad and rejoice, for your reward is very great in heaven. CREDO.

OFFERT. Wisd. iii. The souls of the righteous are in the hand of God, and the torments of wickedness shall not touch them. To the eyes of the foolish they seemed to die: but they are in peace. Al- ́ leluia.

Justorum animæ in manu Dei sunt, et non tanget illos tormentum malitiæ. Visi sunt oculis insipientium mori; illi autem sunt in pace Alleluia.

EPISTLE. 1. Cor. xv. 51. 57.

RETHREN: Behold I tell you a mystery: We shall all indeed rise again; but we shall not all be changed. In a moment, in the twinkiing of an eye, at the last trumpet: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall rise again incorruptible, and we shall be changed. For this corruptible body must put on incorruption, and this mortal body put on immortality. And when this mortal body shall have put on immortality, then shall the saying be fulfilled, that is written: Death is swallowed up in victory? O grave, where is thy victory? Where is thy sting, O death? Now the sting of death is sin: and the power of sin is the law. But thanks be to God, who hath given us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.

GOSPEL. John v. 25. 29.

T that time: Jesus said to the multitude of the Jews: Verily, verily, I say to you; the hour cometh, and now it is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God; and they that hear it, shall live. For as the Father hath life in himself; so hath he given to the Son also

to have life in himself; and he hath given him power to execute judgment, because he is the son of man. Wonder not at this; for the hour cometh, when all that are in their graves, shall hear the voice of the Son of God, and shall come forth, they that have done good, to the resurrection of life: and they that have done evil, to the resurrection of damnation.
