From the Holy Gospel according to Matthew
Matt 24:3-13
At that time As Jesus sat upon the Mount of Olives, His disciples came unto Him privately, saying Tell us, when shall these things be And so on.

Homily by St. Hilary, Bishop of Poitiers.
{Comm. on Matth. xxv.)
His disciples came unto Him privately, saying: “Tell us, when shall these things be and what shall be the sign of thy coming and of the end of the world?” Here are in one question three several points, and the answers are to be understood of three several times, and by three several interpretations. “When shall these things be?” And herein He taught them concerning the fall of the city (of Jerusalem), whereof He made plain announcement, lest the unlearned might fall a prey to any deceiver. For within the lifetime of His then hearers were to come many, saying: I am Christ. He giveth warning therefore beforehand, lest such pestilential liars should gain any belief.

Post Communion
P. The Lord be with you.
S. And with thy spirit.
Let us pray.
May this Communion, O Lord, cleanse us of sin, and, through the intercession of Your holy Martyrs Januarius and companions, make us sharers of heavenly salvation.
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.

Let us pray.
Commemoration Feria Sexta Quattuor Temporum Septembris
We beseech You, O almighty God, that, showing gratitude for the gifts we have received, we may obtain yet greater benefits.
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.
