Through... 

Epistle: Ephesians 6:10-17 (p. 348 in the complete epistle-gospel Lectionary). 

A Reading from the Epistle of Blessed Paul the Apostle to the Ephesians. Brethren, be strengthened in the Lord, and in the might of His power. Put ye on the armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the deceits of the Devil. For our wrestling is not against flesh and blood, but against principalities and powers, against the spirits of wickedness in the high places. Therefore take unto you the armour of God, that ye may be able to resist in the evil day, and to stand in all things perfect. Stand, therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of justice, and your feet shod with the preparation of the Gospel of peace: in all things taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye may be able to extinguish all the fiery darts of the most wicked one. And take unto you the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit : which is the word of God.     Eph 6:10-17

Graduale: Lord, Thou hast been our refuge in generation and generation.  
V. Before the mountains came to be and the earth was formed, and the world, even from everlasting to everlasting. 
Lord, Thou hast been our refuge in generation and generation.  

Alleluia: cantor: Alleluia. all: Alleluia. cantor: V. Praise the Lord, O my soul. I was praise the Lord in my life. I will chant to my God as long as I have my being. all: Alleluia. 

Sequence: Blessed be the Holy Trinity,
Alike and co-equal in glory, 
God the Father, the Son born of Him, with the Holy Spirit,
Abiding over all that doth exist. 

In these three Persons there is ever a single will, 
Threefold in hypostasis, never disagreeing, 
For God's nature existeth not divided into three gods, but singly,
Which in Orthodox manner the Faith given by Christ proclaimeth. 

This Faith driveth sins away,
It gaineth us the fatherland of peace.
In which the regiments of heaven cry out with joy,
As they make sweet harmony.

They follow the steps of Him enthroned on high,
In their robes they are radiant and white, 
They are clad in the vesture which they claim
After the dangers of this world have passed.

We too, whom the heavenly grace of God illumineth,
Let us render to Him our due,
That the heavenly host may abide with us,
To whom we are united in our death.

And that once the last trial is ended,
We may straightway enjoy the palace which is on high, 
Where shineth the clear Light fired by incessant flame,
Which is God, our vision and everlasting salvation.

The Light which mightily illumineth the minds of angels, 
That their eyes may be fixed on Christ alone,
For this is that burning desire the souls and bodies of the saints hope for, 
When the Judge shall give them eternal reward for their good deeds. 

Gospel: John 6:46-53 (p. 349 in the complete epistle-gospel Lectionary)

V. The Lord be with you. R. And with thy spirit.
The continuation of the holy gospel according to John. R. Glory to Thee, O Lord.
     At that time there was a certain ruler, whose son was sick at Capharnaum. He, having heard that Jesus was come from Judea into Galilee, went to Him, and prayed Him to come down and heal his son, for he was at the point of death. Jesus therefore said to him: Unless ye see signs and wonders, ye believe not. The ruler saith to Him: Lord, come down before that my son die. Jesus saith to him: Go thy way; thy son liveth. The man believed the word which Jesus said to him, and went his way. And as he was going down, his servants met him, and they brought word, saying that his son lived. He asked therefore of them the hour wherein he grew better. And they said to him: Yesterday, at the seventh hour, the fever left him. The father therefore knew that it was at the same hour that Jesus said to him: Thy son liveth; and himself believed : and all his house.     Jn 6:46-53

Offerenda:  There was a man in the land whose name was Job, simple and upright and fearing God. And Satan besought that he might tempt him, and power was given him by the Lord, over his substance and over his flesh. And he destroyed all his possessions, and his children, and he wounded his flesh with a very grievous ulcer. 
      V. O that my sins, whereby I have deserved wrath, O that my sins, whereby I have deserved wrath, whereby I have deserved wrath, were weighed in a balance. And the calamity! the calamity! and the calamity which I suffer; this would appear heavier. 
     And he wounded his flesh with a very grievous ulcer. 
     V. For what is, for what is, for what is my strength, that I may hold out? Or what is mine end, that I should keep patience? Or what is mine end, that I should keep patience?
     And he wounded his flesh with a very grievous ulcer.:
     V. My strength is not the strength of stones. Nor is my flesh of brass, nor is my flesh of brass.
     And he wounded his flesh with a very grievous ulcer.
     V. Because, because, because mine eye shall not return, that it may see good things, that it may see good things, that it may see good things, that it may see good things, that it may see good things, that it may see good things, that it may see good things.
     And he wounded his flesh with a very grievous ulcer.
