Dearly beloved: God isLove.In this was manifested the Love of God toward us, because that Godsent

Sonto be the Propitiationfor our sins.Beloved,if God so loved us, we ought also to love one another.Noman hathseenGod at any time. If we love one another, God dwelleth

inus, and HisLoveis Perfected in us.Hereby know we that we dwell in Him, and He in us, because He hathgivenus of HisSpirit.And we have seen and do testify that the Father sent the Son to be the

Saviourof the world.Whosoever shall confess that Jesus is the Son of God, God dwelleth in

him,and he in God.And we have known and believed the Love That God hath to us. God is

Love;and he that dwelleth inLovedwelleth in God, and God in him.Herein is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the Day of

Judgment;because as He is, so are we in thisworld.There is no fear in Love; but Perfect Love casteth out fear; because fear

hathtorment. He that feareth is not made perfect inLove.Welove Him, because He first loved us.If a man say, I love God, and hateth his brother, he is a liar; for he

that loveth not his brol:her whom he hath seen, how can he love GodWhom hehathnotseen?

and fared sumptuously every day;And there was a certain iieggar named Lazarus, which was laid at hisgate,full of sores,And desiring to be fed wiith the crumbs which fell from the rich man's

table; moreover the dogfi came and licked hissores.And it came to pass, thai the beggar died, and was carried by the angels

into Abraham's bosom;Itherichmanalsodied, and was buried;And in hell he lift up his eyes, being in torments, andseethAbraham afar

off, and Lazarus in his bosom.'And he cried and said, 'Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send

Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my tongue; for Iam tormented in this flame.'

But Abraham said, 'Son, remember that thou in thy lifetime receivedstthy good things, and likewise Laxarus evil things; but now he is comforted, andthou art tormented.

'Andbeside all this, between us and you there is a great gulf fixed; sothat they which would pass from hence to you cannot; neither can they pass tous, that would come from thence,'

Then he said, '1 pray thee therefore. Father, that thou wouldest send himto my father's house;

'For I have five brethren; that he may testify unto them, lest they alsocome into this place of torment.'

Abraham saith unto him, 'They have Moses and the Prophets; let themhear them.'And he said, 'Nay, FatherAbraham; but if one went unto them from the

dead, they will repent.'And he said unto him, 'If they hear not Moses and the Prophets, neither

will they be persuaded, though one rose from the dead.'Luke 16: 19 - 31) H . Praise be to Thee, OChrist.TheCreed which is sungatthisMassonlyon aSunday):TheCelebrant: I believe in One God,

All: The Father Almighty,Maker of Heaven and Earth, and of all thingsvisible and invisible; And in One Lord Jesus Christ, the Only-Begotten Son ofGod; Begotten of His Father before all worlds; God of God,Light of Light, VeryGod 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, camedown 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 theScriptures; And ascended into Heaven; And sitteth on the Right Hand of theFather. And He shall come again with Glory to judge both the quick and thedead; Whose Kingdom shall have no end. And I believe in the Holy Ghost, theLord, the Giver of life; Who proceedeth from the Father; Who, with the Fatherand the Son is Worshipped and Glorified, Who spake by the Prophets. And Ibelieve One, Holy, Catholic, and Apostolic Church. I acknowledge one Baptismfor the remission of sins. And I look for the Resurrection of the dead, And thelife of the world > to come. Amen.
