EPISTLE. Acts 2:1-11
1 WHEN the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all with
one accord in one place.
2 And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing
mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting.
3 And there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of fire,
and it sat upon each of them.
4 And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to
speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.
5 And there were dwelling at Jerusalem Jews, devout men, out
of every nation under heaven.
6 Now when this was noised abroad, the multitude came together,
and were confounded, because that every man heard them speak
in his own language.
7 And they were all amazed and marvelled, saying one to another,
Behold, are not all these which speak Galilaeans?
8 And how hear we every man in our own tongue, wherein we were
born?
9 Parthians, and Medes, and Elamites, and the dwellers in Mesopotamia,
and in Judaea, and Cappadocia, in Pontus, and Asia,
10 Phrygia, and Pamphylia, in Egypt, and in the parts of Libya
about Cyrene, and strangers of Rome, Jews and proselytes,
11 Cretes and Arabians, we do hear them speak in our tongues
the wonderful works of God.
SEQUENCE. Veni, Sancte Spiritus.
Come, thou Holy Spirit, come: and from thy celestial home send
thy light and brilliancy.
Come, thou father of the poor, come who givest all our store,
come the soul's true radiancy.
Come, of comforters the best, of the soul the sweetest guest,
sweetly and refreshingly.
Come, in labour rest most sweet, shade and coolness in the heat,
comfort in adversity.
Thou who art the Light most blest, come fulfil their inmost breast,
who believe most faithfully.
For without thy Godhead's dower, man hath nothing in his power,
save to work iniquity.
What is filthy make thou pure, what is wounded work its cure,
water what is parched and dry.
Gently bend the stubborn will, warm to life the heart that's
chill, guide who goeth erringly.
Fill thy faithful who adore, and confess thee evermore, with
thy sevenfold mystery.
Here thy grace and virtue send, grant salvation in the end, and
in heaven felicity. Amen. Amen.
GOSPEL. Saint John 14:15-31a
15 AT that time: Jesus said
unto his disciples: If ye love me, keep my commandments.
16 And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another
Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever;
17 Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because
it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he
dwelleth with you, and shall be in you.
18 I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you.
19 Yet a little while, and the world seeth me no more; but ye
see me: because I live, ye shall live also.
20 At that day ye shall know that I am in my Father, and ye in
me, and I in you.
21 He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that
loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father,
and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him.
22 Judas saith unto him, not Iscariot, Lord, how is it that thou wilt manifest thyself unto us, and not unto
the world?
23 Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will
keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come
unto him, and make our abode with him.
24 He that loveth me not keepeth not my sayings: and the word
which ye hear is not mine, but the Father's which sent me.
25 These things have I spoken unto you, being yet present with
you.
26 But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father
will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring
all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.
27 Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the
world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled,
neither let it be afraid.
28 Ye have heard how I said unto you, I go away, and come again
unto you. If ye loved me, ye would rejoice, because I said, I go unto the Father: for my
Father is greater than I.
29 And now I have told you before it come to pass, that, when
it is come to pass, ye might believe.
30 Hereafter I will not talk much with you: for the prince of
this world cometh, and hath nothing in me.
31 But that the world may know that I love the Father; and as
the Father gave me commandment, even so I do.
OFFERTORY. Ps. 68 Stablish the thing, O God,
that thou hast wrought in us: for thy temple's sake at Jerusalem,
shall kings bring presents unto thee, Alleluia.
SECRET.
SANCTIFY, O Lord, we beseech thee, these our oblations: that

may be purified from all evil.
COMMUNION. Acts 2 Suddenly there came a sound
from heaven as of a rushing might wind, and it filled all the
house where they were sitting, alleluia: and they were all filled
with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak the wonder works of God,
Alleluia. Alleluia.
POSTCOMMUNION.
WE humbly beseech thee, O Lord, that thou wouldest send down

of his blessing. Through.
