01:56Praise, honour and glory be to you, O Christ, who, when you remained behind in the temple, your mother sought
02:04for sorrowing, and at length with joy found you sitting in the midst of the doctors, hearing and asking them
02:10questions.
02:14Let us pray.

04:56defile me, nor separate me from you, but may they rather purify me and unite and join me
05:04with you. Praise, honour, and glory be to you, O Christ, who gave himself up to preach
05:12repentance, to call to you disciples, and from them choose the twelve apostles to be
05:17the special heralds of the faith, gathering together the children of God that was scattered
05:23abroad. Draw me after you and powerfully excite my heart to love you. Do not permit me to neglect
05:32the grace with which you called me, but make me ready to despise the world and all perishable
05:38things, following you, taking your humility and charity as my example. Give me grace to
05:45look for you alone, and with earnest longing to sigh continually after you. Amen.
05:56O Lord, open our lips, and our mouths shall sing your praise.
06:08O be joyful in the Lord, holy lands, serve the Lord with gladness, and come with all his
06:21prayers and thrillers on. Be sure that the Lord, he is God.
06:31O Lord, is his seed and fear, and the glory of God. Is he that he has helped me to
06:36make us and trust me ourselves? We are his people and the sheep of his master.
06:44O Lord, the Almighty of God.
06:47O Lord, to put your praise to his peace with praise, and to his sons with praise, he hath pull
06:57up to him as he
06:59O Lord of his name, for the Lord is gracious, his mercy is everlasting, and his truth endureth
07:17from generation to generation.
07:27Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost, as it was in the beginning,
07:41is now and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.
08:11Amen.
08:36Amen.
08:40Amen.
08:42Amen.
08:48Amen.
08:53Amen.
09:02Amen.
09:09Amen.
09:23Amen.
09:23Amen.
09:23Their mouth is full of cursing and bitterness
09:29That leads us still to shed blood
09:34Destruction and unhappiness is in their ways
09:40And the way of peace has made us known
09:45There is no fear of God before their eyes
09:52And with the knowledge that they are born
09:57Such work as unwind still
10:00Eating of my people as it's a bread and corn
10:06But upon the road
10:10There will be brought in great steel
10:14Even when the earth arose
10:19For God is in the generation of the righteous
10:27And as for you
10:30He had made a walk at the council of the poor
10:37Because he was at his last of the Lord
10:43Who shall give salvation unto Israel out of time
10:49When the Lord serve at the captivity of his people
10:57Then shall Jacob rejoice
11:01As that is where shall be there
11:10Glory be to the Father
11:14And to the Son
11:17And to the Holy Moose
11:22As it was in the beginning
11:25His love and never shall be
11:30World without end
11:37Amen
11:53The Gospel according to Saint Matthew chapter 23
11:57Verses 1 to 12
12:02Then Jesus said to the crowds
12:04And to his disciples
12:06The experts in the law
12:08And the Pharisees
12:10Sit on Moses' seat
12:13Therefore pay attention to what they tell you
12:15And do it
12:17But do not do what they do
12:19For they do not practice what they teach
12:22They tie up heavy loads
12:25Hard to carry
12:26And put them on a man's shoulders
12:29But they themselves are not even willing
12:31To lift a finger to move them
12:34They do all their deeds
12:35To be seen by the people
12:37For they make their phylacteries wide
12:39And their tassels long
12:41They love the places of honour at banquets
12:44And the best seats in the synagogues
12:48Elaborate greasings in the marketplaces
12:50And to have people call them rabbi
12:53But you are not to be called rabbi
12:56For you have but one teacher
12:58And you are all brothers
13:01Call no one father on earth
13:03For you have one father who is in heaven
13:06Nor are you to be called teacher
13:08For you have one teacher
13:10Christ
13:12The greatest among you will be your servant
13:15Whoever lifts himself up will be humbled
13:18And whoever humbles himself
13:21Will be exalted
13:24This is the word of the Lord
13:27Thanks be to God
13:33The day of grace is over
13:35For the leaders of the people
13:37But for the people themselves
13:39There might still be hope
13:41And so the Lord of the temple
13:43Turned to the multitude
13:45The general throng of worshippers
13:48Mingled with whom
13:49Would have been several of his own disciples
13:52And solemnly warns them
13:54Against their spiritual guides
13:58There is every reason to suppose
14:00That many of the scribes and Pharisees
14:03Were within hearing
14:05For when he has finished
14:06What he has to say to the people
14:08He turns around and addresses them directly
14:10In a series of terrible denunciations
14:13Which follow
14:16His warning is couched in such a way
14:19As not in the least degree
14:21To weaken their respect for Moses
14:23Or for the sacred scriptures
14:25The exposition of which
14:27Was the sacred duty of their spiritual guides
14:32He separates sharply
14:33Between the office
14:34And the men who hold it
14:36Had they been true
14:38To the position they occupied
14:39And the high duties
14:41That they had been called to discharge
14:43They would have been worthy of honour
14:45But they were false men
14:48They say and do not
14:50Not only so
14:52But they do positive evil
14:54Making that grievous for the people
14:57Which ought to be a delight
14:59And when they do
15:00Or seem to do the right thing
15:02It is from petty observance
15:04Which they exaggerate
15:06For the sake of their own vanity
15:08While their hearts are set
15:10On personal three eminence
15:13Such are the leading thoughts
15:15Set out with great vigour and language
15:17And a force of illustration
15:20And not without a keen
15:22Sense of delicate irony
15:24In our Lord's remarkable indictment
15:27Of the scribes and Pharisees
15:29Here recorded
15:30By our evangelist
15:34Then follows one of those passages
15:36Of profound significance
15:37And far-reaching application
15:39Which, while admirably
15:41Suiting the immediate occasions
15:43On which they were spoken
15:44Prove to be a treasury of truth
15:47For the ages to come
15:48At first sight
15:50It strikes us
15:52As simply an exhortation
15:54To cultivate a disposition
15:55Of the reverse
15:57Of that of the scribes
15:59And the Pharisees
16:00He has been
16:01Up until this point
16:02Drawing their portrait
16:03And then he says
16:04Do not be like them
16:06But unlike in every respect
16:10But in saying this
16:12He succeeds in laying down
16:14Great principles
16:15For the future guidance
16:16Of his church
16:17The remembrance of which
16:19Would have averted
16:20Most of the evils
16:21Which in the course
16:22Of its history
16:23Have weakened its power
16:25Hindered its progress
16:26And marred its witness
16:28To the truth
16:30With one stroke
16:32He abolishes all claims
16:33Of men to intervene
16:35Between the soul and God
16:37One is your teacher
16:39One is your father
16:40One is your master
16:41Who is that one?
16:45He does not
16:46In quite so many words
16:47Claim that position
16:48For himself
16:49But it is throughout
16:51Implied
16:51And in the end
16:52Almost expressed
16:54For while speaking
16:55Of the teacher
16:56And of the father
16:57He says nothing
16:58To indicate who the one is
17:00When he comes
17:01To the master
17:02He has
17:03Even the Christ
17:05And so standing
17:07At the end of all
17:07These words suggest
17:08That the office of the Christ
17:10Was to bring God
17:11Within the reach
17:12Of every single soul
17:14So that without any
17:15Intervention of scribe
17:17Or Pharisee
17:18Priest of any description
17:20Each one
17:21Can go direct to him
17:23For instruction
17:24The teacher
17:24For loving recognition
17:26Of the father
17:28And for authoritative
17:29Guidance and control
17:31Master
17:34We must also remember
17:36That Jesus was here
17:38Speaking to his disciples
17:40As well
17:40To the multitude
17:41And to them
17:42These words would have been
17:44Full of meaning
17:44When he said
17:46One is your teacher
17:47Of whom could they
17:49Possibly think
17:50But of himself
17:51When he said
17:53One is your father
17:54They would remember
17:56Such statements
17:57As I and my father
17:58Are one
18:00And have suggested
18:01To them the truth
18:02Which was so very soon
18:04To be plainly stated
18:06That he who has seen me
18:07Has seen the father
18:09It is probable then
18:11That even before
18:12He reached the end
18:13And added the words
18:14Even the Christ
18:15The minds of his disciples
18:17At least
18:19Had anticipated him
18:21And so we find
18:22In these remarkable words
18:24An implicit claim
18:25On the part of Christ
18:26To be the sole prophet
18:28Priest
18:29And king
18:30Of his people
18:31Their sole prophet
18:33To teach them
18:34By the enlightening
18:35And sanctifying grace
18:36Of the Holy Spirit
18:37Their sole priest
18:39To open up
18:40The way of access
18:41To a reconciled
18:42Father in heaven
18:43Their sole king
18:45Alone
18:46Entitled
18:46To be the lord
18:47Of their conscience
18:48And of their heart
18:52If only the Christian church
18:54Had been true
18:55To all this
18:55How different
18:56Would her history
18:57Have been
18:59Then the word of God
19:00Would have been
19:01Throughout
19:01The only and sufficient
19:03Rule of faith
19:05And the spirit
19:06Dealing directly
19:07With the spirits of men
19:08Its sole interpreter
19:12Then there would be
19:13No usurping
19:15To stand between
19:15The souls of men
19:16And their father in heaven
19:18To put heavy burdens
19:19And grievous
19:20To the bone
19:21And lay them
19:23Upon men's shoulders
19:24To multiply forms
19:26And observances
19:27Complicating
19:28What should have been
19:29The simplest of all
19:30The direct way
19:32To the father in heaven
19:33Through Christ
19:34The great priest
19:35Of humanity
19:37Then there would have been
19:38No lordship
19:39Over men's consciences
19:41No ecclesiastical usurpation
19:43No spiritual tyranny
19:45No inquisition
19:47No persecution
19:48For the sake of conscience
19:50How inexcusable
19:52Has it all been
19:55It would seem
19:57As if pains
19:58Had been taken
19:58Deliberately
19:59To violate
20:00Not only the spirit
20:01But the very letter
20:02Of the saviour's words
20:05In that one fact
20:07While it is expressly written
20:08Call no man
20:09Your father
20:10On earth
20:13We have done
20:14Just the very opposite
20:16Doing exactly
20:17What our lord
20:18Has so expressly forbidden
20:21But all
20:22Clerical assumption
20:24Of priestly power
20:25Is just as certainly
20:26And thus clearly
20:27In violation
20:28Of this great charter
20:29Of our spiritual liberty
20:32You are all brothers
20:34Christ continued
20:35This is the second commandment
20:38Of the true canon law
20:39Like the first
20:41And springing naturally
20:43Out of it
20:43As naturally
20:44As the love of neighbour
20:46Springs out of the love of God
20:49As soon as the time shall come
20:51When Christians all
20:52Settle down
20:53And share allegiance alike
20:55Full and undivided
20:57To the one lord of mind
20:58Heart and conscience
21:00Then there will be an end
21:02To all
21:02Enthusiastical exclusiveness
21:05Then shall we see realised
21:07And shown to the world
21:08The brotherhood in Christ
21:10Of all believers
21:16Let us pray
21:19Grant to us
21:21Lord
21:21We beseech you
21:22The spirit
21:24To think
21:24And do always
21:25Such things
21:26As we write
21:28That we
21:29Who cannot do anything
21:30That is good
21:31Without you
21:32May by you
21:33Be enabled
21:34To live
21:35According to your will
21:36Through Jesus Christ
21:38Our Lord
21:39Amen
21:45May the Lord bless us
21:47And keep us
21:48From all evil
21:49Bringing us
21:51To everlasting life
21:53Amen
21:54And the people
21:55And after you
22:00You
