Collect
℣. The Lord be with you.
℟. And with thy spirit.
Let us pray.
O Lord, may the people dedicated to You desire to serve You more and more, that, taught by these sacred rites, they may be enriched by more precious gifts as they grow in favor with Your majesty.
Through Jesus Christ, thy Son our Lord, Who liveth and reigneth with thee, in the unity of the Holy Ghost, God, world without end.
℟. Amen.
Continuation of the Holy Gospel according to John
John 12:10-36
In that time, the chief priests thought to kill Lazarus also: Because many of the Jews, by reason of him, went away, and believed in Jesus. And so on.
Homily by St. Augustine, Bishop (of Hippo)
50th Tract on John
When they saw Lazarus who had been raised from the dead, and knew that the miracle which the Lord had worked was so great, spread about by so many witnesses, and so plain and manifest that it could neither be concealed nor denied, they invented an expedient; and see here what it was: “But the chief Priests consulted that they might put Lazarus also to death.” What stupidity of thought, what blindness of cruelty is here! If the Lord Christ had raised up again a man who had died a natural death, could He not also raise up one that had died by violence? Would killing Lazarus paralyse the Lord? But if ye consider that there is a difference between a man dead of disease, and a man killed, behold, the Lord hath raised up both for He first raised up Lazarus, who had died a natural death, and then Himself, after a violent one.
Prayer over the people
Let us pray.
Bow your heads to God.
Let Your right hand, we beseech You, O Lord, guard Your people who call upon You; purify them and graciously teach them; that, by Your aid in this life, may they advance toward the good things to come.
Through Jesus Christ, thy Son our Lord, Who liveth and reigneth with thee, in the unity of the Holy Ghost, God, world without end.
℟. Amen.
