Dominica IV Post Epiphaniam I. Novembris ~ Semiduplex Dominica minor

Commemoratio: Tertia die infra Octavam Omnium Sanctorum

From the Holy Gospel according to Matthew
Matt 8:23-27
At that time, when Jesus entered into the boat, his disciples followed him: And behold a great tempest arose in the sea, so that the boat was covered with waves, but he was asleep. And so on.

Homily by St. Jerome, Priest at Bethlehem.
Bk. i Comm. on Matth. viii
The fifth sign that He did was when He took ship at Capernaum, and commanded the winds and the sea the sixth, when, in the country of the Gergesenes, He suffered the devils to enter into the swine the seventh, when, as He came into His own city, He cured the man sick of the palsy lying on a bed. The first man sick of the palsy that He cured was the centurion's servant.

℣. O Lord, hear my prayer.
℟. And let my cry come unto thee.
Let us pray.
O God, Who knowest us to be set in the midst of so many and great dangers, that, by reason of the frailty of our nature, we cannot always stand upright; grant to us such health of mind and body, that by thy strength and protection we may overcome all evils, whereby for our sins we are justly afflicted.
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.
