- 1:54Amen. A lesson from the Acts of the Apostles. In those days, a great number learned to believe and turned to the Lord. The story of this came to the ears of the church at Jerusalem and they sent Barnabas on a mission to Antioch. When he came there and saw what grace God was bestowing on them, he was full of joy and encouraged them all to remain true to the Lord with steady purpose of heart like the good man he was, full of the Holy Ghost, full of faith.
- 2:43A great multitude was thus won over to the Lord. He went on to Tarsus to look for Saul. And when he found him, him back to Antioch for a whole year after this, they were made welcome in the church there, teaching a great multitude. And Antioch was the first place in which the disciples were called Christians. The church at Antioch had its prophets and teachers.
- 3:13Barnabas and Simon who was called Niger and Lucius of Cyrene and Manahan foster brother of Herod the tetrarch and Saul. These were offering worship to God and fasting when the Holy Ghost said, I must have Barnabas and Saul dedicated to the work to which I have called them. Thereupon they fasted and prayed and laid their hands on them and so took leave of them. The gradual. Their sound went forth into all the earth, and their words to the ends of the world.
- 3:59The heavens show forth the glory of God, and the firmament declares the works of his hands. Alleluia. Alleluia. I have chosen you out of the world that you should go and should bring forth fruit and your fruit should remain. Alleluia.
- 4:25A continuation of the holy gospel according to Matthew. At that time, Jesus told his disciples, remember, I am sending you out to be like sheep among wolves. You must be wary then as serpents and yet innocent as doves. Do not put your trust in men. They will hand you over to courts of judgment and scourge you in their synagogues.
- 5:03Yes. And you will be brought before governors and kings on my account so that you can bear witness before them and before the Gentiles. Only when they hand you over thus do not consider anxiously what you are to say or how you are to say it. Words will be given you when the time comes. It is not you who speak.
- 5:32It is the spirit of your father that speaks in you. Brothers will be given up to execution by their brothers and children by their fathers. Children will rise up against their parents and will compass their deaths. And you will be hated by all men because you bear my name. But he who endures to the last, that man will be saved.
- 6:08The offertory. Thou wilt divide the earth between them for their domains. While time lasts, thy name, o lord, will never be forgotten. The secret. Hallow, oh Lord, the gifts which we offer and cleanse us through them from the stains of our sins by the intercession of blessed Barnabas, thine apostle, through our Lord Jesus Christ, thy son, who liveth and reigneth with thee in the unity of the Holy Ghost, God, through all ages of ages.
- 6:56Amen. The preface of Apostles. Just it is indeed and fitting right in for our salvation to entreat thee humbly, oh, Lord, that thou wouldst not desert thy flock, oh, everlasting shepherd. But through thy blessed apostles, would keep it under thy constant protection, that it may be governed by those same rulers whom as vicars of thy work, thou didst set over it to be its pastors. And therefore, with angels and archangels, with thrones and dominions, and with all the hosts of the heavenly army, we sing the hymn of thy glory, saying without ceasing.
- 7:47Holy, holy, holy, Lord God of hosts, the heavens and the earth are full of thy glory. Hosanna in the highest. Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord. Hosanna in the highest. The communion.
- 8:12You who have followed me shall sit on thrones and shall be judges over the 12 tribes of Israel. The post communion. Let us pray. We humbly beseech thee, Almighty God, through the intercession of blessed Barnabas, thine apostle, that we, whom thou dost refresh with thy sacraments, may be able to serve thee worthily by lives well pleasing to thee. Through our Lord Jesus Christ, thy son, who liveth and reigneth with thee in the unity of the Holy Ghost, God, through all ages of ages.
- 8:57Amen. In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. Amen. Saint Barnabas, pray for us.
