The following is taken from:

The Introit

Antiphon: Psalm 79 Haste thee, O God, unto my rescue, and save me; O Lord, make haste to my deliverance: let mine enemies be ashamed and confounded, that seek after my soul.

Verse: Ibid Let them be turned backward, and put to confusion: that wish me evil.

Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost; As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.

Repeat the Antiphon Haste thee, O God, ...

The Collect

Almighty and everlasting God, who art always more ready to hear than we are to pray, and art wont to give more than we desire or deserve: Pour down upon us the abundance of thy mercy; forgiving us those things whereof our conscience is afraid, and giving us those good things which we are not worthy to ask, but through the merits and mediation of Jesus Christ, thy Son, our Lord. Amen.

The Epistle
2 Corinthians 3. 4.

Such trust have we through Christ to Godward: not that we are sufficient of ourselves to think any thing as of ourselves; but our sufficiency is from God, who hath even made us worthy to be ministers of the new covenant; not of the letter, but of the spirit: for the letter killeth, but the spirit giveth life. But if the ministration of death written and engraven in stones was glorious, so that the children of Israel could not stedfastly behold the face of Moses for the glory of his countenance, which glory was to be done away; how shall not the ministration of the spirit be even more glorious? For if the ministration of condemnation be glory, much more doth the ministration of righteousness exceed in glory.

The Gospel
St. Mark 7. 31.

Jesus, departing from the region of Tyre, came through Sidon unto the sea of Galilee, through the midst of the region of DecapolIsaiah 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 him 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 charged 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 well; he maketh both the deaf to hear, and the dumb to speak.

The Offertory

Exodus 32 Moses besought the Lord his God, and said: Why, O Lord, doth thy wrath wax hot against thy people? Turn from thy fierce wrath; remember Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob: to whom thou swarest to give a land flowing with milk and honey. And the Lord repented of the evil: which He thought to do unto His people.
