and harbourless into thy house. When thou seest one naked, clothe him and despise not thy own flesh. Then shall thy light break forth as the morning, and thy health shall soon appear, and thy righteousness shall go before thee, and the glory of the Lord shall protect thee. Then shalt thou call out, and the Lord will hear thee: thou shalt cry out to him, and he will say: Behold, here I am. If thou take the chain from the midst of thee, and stretch no more out thy finger, nor speak that which profiteth not. When thou shalt pour forth thy soul to the hungry, and satisfy the soul that is afflicted, then shall thy light rise up in darkness, and thy darkness shall be as the noon-day. And the Lord will give thee continual rest, and fill thy soul with brightness, and deliver thy bones: and thou shalt become as a well watered garden, and as a fountain, whose waters never dry up.

GOSPEL. Matt. xix. 13. 22.

T that time: Some little children were presented to

Ahim, that he might lay his hands on them and pray

for them. But his disciples reproved them. But Jesus said to them: Let the little children alone, and hinder them not from coming to me: for to such belongeth the kingdom of heaven. And when he had laid his hands on them, he departed from thence. And behold one, drawing near, said to him: Good Master, what good shall I do to gain eternal life? Why dost thou call me good? God alone is good. If thou hast a mind to enter into life, keep the commandments. He said to him: which commandments? And Jesus said: Thou shalt not kill; thou shalt not commit adultery; thou shalt not steal; thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbour; honour thy Father and thy Mother; and thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. The young man said to him: All these I have kept from my youth; what is still wanting to me? Jesus saith to him: If thou hast a mind to be perfect, go, sell all thou hast, and give it to the poor, and thou shalt have a treasure in heaven: and come and follow me.

OFFERT. Job. xii. When thou prayedst with tears, and buriedst the dead, and leavedst thy dinner, and hidedst the dead in thy house during the day, and buriedst them in the night, I offered thy prayer to the Lord.

Quando orabas cum lacrymis, et sepeliebas mortuos, et derelinquebas prandium tuum, et mortuos abscondebas per diem in domo tua, et nocte sepeliebas eos, ego obtuli orationem tuam Domino.
