Tuesday of the 23rd week of Ordinary Time

6As therefore you have received Jesus Christ the Lord, walk ye in him; 7Rooted and built up in him, and confirmed in the faith, as also you have learned, abounding in him in thanksgiving. 8Beware lest any man cheat you by philosophy, and vain deceit; according to the tradition of men, according to the elements of the world, and not according to Christ: 9For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead corporeally; 10And you are filled in him, who is the head of all principality and power: 11In whom also you are circumcised with circumcision not made by hand, in despoiling of the body of the flesh, but in the circumcision of Christ: 12Buried with him in baptism, in whom also you are risen again by the faith of the operation of God, who hath raised him up from the dead. 13And you, when you were dead in your sins, and the uncircumcision of your flesh; he hath quickened together with him, forgiving you all offences: 14Blotting out the handwriting of the decree that was against us, which was contrary to us. And he hath taken the same out of the way, fastening it to the cross: 15And despoiling the principalities and powers, he hath exposed them confidently in open shew, triumphing over them in himself.

1I will extol thee, O God my king: and I will bless thy name for ever; yea, for ever and ever.

2Every day I will bless thee: and I will praise thy name for ever; yea, for ever and ever.

8The Lord is gracious and merciful: patient and plenteous in mercy.

9The Lord is sweet to all: and his tender mercies are over all his works.

10Let all thy works, O lord, praise thee: and let thy saints bless thee.

11They shall speak of the glory of thy kingdom: and shall tell of thy power:

12And it came to pass in those days, that he went out into a mountain to pray, and he passed the whole night in the prayer of God. 13And when day was come, he called unto him his disciples; and he chose twelve of them (whom also he named apostles). 14Simon, whom he surnamed Peter, and Andrew his brother, James and John, Philip and Bartholomew, 15Matthew and Thomas, James the son of Alpheus, and Simon who is called Zelotes, 16And Jude, the brother of James, and Judas Iscariot, who was the traitor. 17And coming down with them, he stood in a plain place, and the company of his disciples, and a very great multitude of people from all Judea and Jerusalem, and the sea coast both of Tyre and Sidon, 18Who were come to hear him, and to be healed of their diseases. And they that were troubled with unclean spirits, were cured. 19And all the multitude sought to touch him, for virtue went out from him, and healed all.
