The First Sunday
after Easter.
Psalm 112
Beatus vir
BLESSED is the man that feareth the Lord : he hath great delight in his
commandments.
2. His seed shall be mighty upon earth : the generation of the faithful
shall be blessed.
3. Riches and plenteousness shall be in his house : and his
righteousness endureth for ever.
4. Unto the godly there ariseth up light in the darkness : he is
merciful, loving, and righteous.
5. A good man is merciful, and lendeth : and will guide his words with
discretion.
6. For he shall never be moved : and the righteous shall be had in
everlasting remembrance.
7. He will not be afraid of any evil tidings : for his heart standeth
fast, and believeth in the Lord.
8. His heart is established, and will not shrink : until he see his
desire upon his enemies.
9. He hath dispersed abroad, and given to the poor : and his
righteousness remaineth for ever; his horn shall be exalted with honour.
10. The ungodly shall see it, and it shall grieve him : he shall gnash
with his teeth, and consume away; the desire of the ungodly shall perish.
The Collect.
ALMIGHTY Father, who has given
thine only Son to die for our sins, and to rise again for our justification;
Grant us so to put away the leaven of malice and wickedness, that we may always
serve thee in pureness of living and truth; through the merits of the same thy
Son Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

Saint
Mark the Evangelist
[25 April]
[25 April]
O ALMIGHTY God, who hast instructed thy holy
Church with the heavenly doctrine of thy Evangelist Saint Mark; Give us grace
that, being not like children carried away with every blast of vain doctrine,
we may be established in the truth of thy holy Gospel; through Jesus Christ our
Lord. Amen.
Epistle Reading:
Ephesians 4.7-16
Gospel Reading: John 15.1-11
“Now I beseech you,
brethren, mark them which cause divisions and offences contrary to the doctrine
which ye have learned; and avoid them. For they that are such serve not
our Lord Jesus Christ, but their own belly; and by good words and fair speeches
deceive the hearts of the simple. For your obedience is come abroad unto
all men. I am glad therefore on your behalf: but yet I would have
you wise unto that which is good, and simple concerning evil. And the
God of peace shall bruise Satan under your feet shortly. The grace of our Lord
Jesus Christ be with you. Amen” (Romans 16.17-20).
