The night is passed and the day is at hand. Let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and put on the armor of light.

Sequence
Salvation eternal,
Life of the world unfailing,
Light everlasting,
And, truly, our redemption!
Grieving that ages of mankind were perishing
Through the tempter’s whisperings,
Thou, not leaving the heavenly heights,
Camest in Thy mercy into this lowest world.
Swiftly taking human nature,
Thou didst save all earthly beings,
Which had fallen and been lost,
Using Thy swift-acting grace.
Bringing joy to the world, O Christ,
Purify our souls and bodies,
That Thou remain in us as dwellings
Shining clear and bright.
By Thy first coming, make us righteous;
By Thy second, set us free;
That when Thy mighty light hath dawned,
And Thou shalt judge all things,
Then we, clad in robes of incorruption,
May follow, swift, without delay,
The footsteps of Thy feet,
Whithersoever they appear.
Gospel
Deacon: The Lord be with you. R. And with thy spirit. Deacon: The continuation of the Holy Gospel
according to Matthew. R. Glory to Thee, O Lord.
At that time, when Jesus drew nigh to Jerusalem, and was come to Bethphage, unto Mount Olivet, He sent two disciples, saying to them: Go ye into the village that is over against you, and immediately ye shall find an ass tied, and a colt with her. Loose them and bring them to Me. And if any man shall say anything to you, say ye that the Lord hath need of them, and forthwith he will let them go. Now all this was done that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, saying: ‘Tell ye the daughter of Sion: Behold, thy King cometh to thee, meek, and sitting upon an ass, and a colt the foal of her that is used to the yoke.’ And the disciples, going, did as Jesus commanded them. And they brought the ass and the colt, and laid their garments upon them, and made Him sit thereon. And a very great multitude spread their garments in the way, and others cut boughs from the trees and strewed them in the way. And the multitudes that went before and that followed cried, saying, ‘Hosanna to the Son of David. Blessed is He that cometh in the name of the Lord.’
Offerenda, tone 2: O hope of mercy, intercession, might, and my defense, O my Jesus!
Unto Thee, O Lord, have I lifted up my soul. My God, I put
my trust in Thee, O let me never be confounded, neither let mine enemies laugh
me to scorn. For all they that wait on Thee shall not be ashamed.
Thou Who art the
way, the guide, the guidance, Thou knowledge of the highest truth!
V. Lead me forth in Thy truth, and teach me : for Thou art
God my Saviour, and upon Thee have I waited all the day long.
Unto Thee, O Lord, etc.
Thou Who hast compassion on those who are grieving, O our
meek Loving-kindness! Forthwith, now,
V. Look upon me and have mercy on me, O Lord. O keep my soul,
and deliver me. Let me not be confounded, for I have put my trust in Thee.
Unto Thee, O Lord, etc.
