those I have accounted loss for Christ. Farthermore I count all things to be but loss, for the excellent knowledge of Jesus Christ my Lord; for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and count them but as dung, that I may gain Christ, and may be found in him, not having my own righteousness, which is of the law, but that which is of the faith of Christ Jesus; which is of God, righteousness in faith. That I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, being made conformable to his death; if by any means I may attain to the resurrection, which is from the dead.

HE righteous man will give his heart to watch early to the Lord, that made him, and he will pray in the sight of the Most High. He will open his mouth in prayer, and make supplication for his sins. For if it shall please the great Lord, he will fill him with the spirit of understanding and he will pour forth the words of his wisdom as showers, and in his prayer he will confess to the Lord. And the Lord shall direct his counsel, and his order of life, and advise, him in his difficulties. He will shew forth the discipline he hath learned, and shall glory in the law of the covenant of the Lord. Many shall join in the commendation of his wisdom, and the memory of it shall never be forgotten. The remembrance of him shall never be lost, and his name shall be in request from generation to generation. The nations shall proclaim his wisdom, and the Church shall publish his praise.

GOSPEL. Matt. xvi. 13. 19.

T that time: Jesus came into the quarters of Casarea Philippi; and he asked his disciples saying: Whom do men say that the Son Man is? But they said: Some John the Baptist, and others some Elias, and others Jeremias, or one of the Prophets. Jesus saith to them; But whom do you say that I am? Simon Peter answered and said; Thou art Christ the Son of the living God. And Jesus answering, said to him; Blessed art thou Simon Barjona, because flesh and blood hath not revealed it to thee, but my Father who is in heaven. And I say to thee; That thou art Peter; and upon this rock I will build my Church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. And I will give to thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven. And whatsoever thou shalt bind upon earth, it shall be bound also in heaven; and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth, it shall be loosed also in heaven. CREDO.

GOSPEL. Luke xiv. 26. 35.

T that time; Jesus said to the multitude; If any one come to me, and hate not his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brethren, and sisters, yea and his own life also,, he cannot be my disciple. And whosoever doth not carry his cross and come after me, cannot be my disciple. For which of you having a mind to build a tower, doth not first sit down and reckon the charges that are necessary, whether he have wherewithal to finish it. Lest after he hath laid the foundation, and is not able to finish it, all that see it begin to mock him, saying; This man began to build, and was not able to finish. Or what king, about to go and make

war against another king, doth not first sit down and think, whether he be able with ten thousand to meet him, that with twenty thousand cometh against him. Or else, whilst the other is yet afar off, sending an embasy, he desireth conditions of peace. So likewise every one of you that doth not renounce all that he possesseth, cannot be my disciple. Salt is good. But if the salt should lose its flavour, wherewith shall it be seasoned? It is neither profitable for the land, nor for the dunghill, but shall be cast out. He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.
