At that time: Again, departing from the coasts of Tyre and Sidon, Jesus

came unto the Sea of Galilee, through the midst of the coasts of Decapolis.

And they bring unto Him one that was deaf, and had an impediment in his

speech; and they beseech Him to put His Hand upon him.

And He took h|m aside from the multitude, and put His Fingers into his

ears, and He spit, and touched his tongue;

And looking up to Heaven, He sighed, and saith unto him, Ephphatha,

that is, Be opened.

And straightway his ears were opened, and the string of his tongue was

loosed, and he spake plain.

And He charg^ them that they should tell no man; but the more He

charged them, so much the more a great deal they published it;And were beyond measure astonished, saying, He hath done all things

both the deaf to hear, and the dumb to speak.

Praise be to Thee, O Christ.

The Creed which is suAg at this Mass only on a Sunday):

The Celebrant: I believe in One God,

All: The Fatheij Almighty, Maker of Heaven and Earth, and of all things

God; Begotten of His Father before all worlds; God of God, Light of Light, Very

God of Very God; Begotten, not made. Being of One Substance with the Father;

By Whom all thing were made; Who, for us men and for our salvation, came

down from Heaven; And was Incarnate by the Holy Ghost of the Virgin Mary;

And was Made Man; And was Crucified also for us under Pontius Pilate. Hesuffered and was Buried; And the third day He rose again according to the

Scriptures; And ascended into Heaven; And sitteth on the Right Hand of the

Father. And He shall come again with Glory to judge both the quick and the

dead; Whose Kingdom shall have no end. And I believe in the Holy Ghost, the

Lord, the Giver of lif ; Who proceedeth from the Father; Who, with the Father

and the Son is Worshipped and Glorified, Who spake by the Prophets. And I

believe One, Holy, Catholic, and Apostolic Church. I acknowledge one Baptism

for the remission of sins. And I look for the Resurrection of the dead. And the

The Epistle: ^\

Reading from the Second Epistle of blessed Paul the Apostle, to the

Corinthians:

Brethren: We preach not ourselves, but Christ Jesus the Lord; and

ourselves your servants for Jesus sake.

For God, who commanded the Light to shine out of darkness, hath shined

in our hearts, to give tie Light of the knowledge of the Glory of God in the Face

of Jesus Christ.

But we have th s treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of thepower may be of God, ind not of us.

We are troubled on every side, yet not distressed; we are perplexed, but

not in despair;

Persecuted, but rot forsaken; cast down, but not destroyed;

Always bearing about in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus, that the

Life also of Jesus mighi be made manifest in our body.

For we which live are alway delivered unto death for Jesus sake, that the
