GOD, Who didst will that Thy Word should take Flesh, in the womb of the Blessed Virgin Mary, at the message of an Angel: grant unto Thy humble servants; that we, who verily believe her to be the Mother of God, may be holpen by her intercessions with Thee. Against the adversaries of the Church. ceive the O WE beseech Thee, Lord, favourably to reof Thy prayers Church: that all adversities errors being driven away, it may safely serve Thee in all freedom. Through. and For the Bishop. GOD, the shepherd and governour of all the faithful, look favourably upon Thy servant N., whom Thou hast appointed a pastor over Thy Church grant him, we beseech Thee, both by word and example, so to help those whom he is set over; that with the flock committed to one but to love another: for he that loveth another hath fulfilled the law. For this, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not kill, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness, Thou shalt not covet; and if there be any other commandment, it is briefly comprehended in this saying, namely, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. Love worketh no ill to his neighbour; therefore love is the fulfilling of the law. And that, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep: for now is our salvation nearer than when we believed. The night is far spent, the day is at hand; let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armour of light. Let us walk honestly as in the day; not in rioting and drunkenness, not in chambering and wantonness, not in strife and envying. But put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make not provision for the flesh, to fulfil the lusts thereof. GRADUAL. All they that hope in Thee, O Lord, shall not be ashamed. .

And if any man say ought unto you, ye shall say: The Lord hath need of them; and straight: way he will send them. All this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the Prophet, saying: Tell ye the daughter of Sion: Behold, thy King cometh unto thee, meek, and sitting upon and a colt the fole of an ass, an ass. cometh in the Name of the Lord; Hosanna in the highest. And when He was come into Jerusalem all the city was moved, saying: Who is this? And the multitude said: This is Jesus the Prophet of Nazareth of Galilee. And Jesus went into the temple of God, and cast out all them that sold and bought in the temple; and overthrew the tables of the moneychangers, and the seats of them that sold doves; and said unto them: It is written: My house shall be called the house of prayer; but ye have made it a den of thieves.
