| | Lesson | Lectio libri Sapientiae. Dilectus Deo et hominibus, cujus memoria in benedictione est. Similem illum fecit in gloris sanctorum, et magnificavit eum in timore inimicorum, et in verbus suis monstra placavit. Glorificavit illum in conspectu regum, et jussit illi coram populo suo, et ostendit illi gloriam suam. In fide, et lenitate ipsius, sanctum fecit illum, et elegit eum ex omni carne. Audivit enim eum, et vocem ipsius, et induxit illum in nubem. Et dedid illi coram parecepta, et legem vitae et disciplinae. Hæc fuit epistula.
Deo Gratias. (Ecclesiasticus (Wisdom of Ben Sira) 45: 1-6)

Sequentia sancti Evangelii secundum Matthaem
Gloria   tibi, Domine Christi autem generatio sic erat: cum esset desponsata mater ejus Maria Joseph, antequam convenirent inventa est in utero habens de Spiritu Sancto. 19 Joseph autem vir ejus cum esset justus, et nollet eam traducere, voluit occulte dimittere eam. Hæc autem eo cogitante, ecce angelus Domini apparuit in somnis ei, dicens: Joseph, fili David, noli timere accipere Mariam conjugem tuam: quod enim in ea natum est, de Spiritu Sancto est. 21 Pariet autem filium: et vocabis nomen ejus Jesum: ipse enim salvum faciet populum suum a peccatis eorum. Evangélium Dómini.
Laus Tibi, Christe. (Matthew 1: 18-21)

He made him like the saints in glory, and magnified him in the fear of his enemies, and with his words he made prodigies to cease.

The continuation of the holy Gospel according to Matthew.
Glory   to Thee, O Lord Now the generation of Christ was in this wise. When as his mother Mary was espoused to Joseph, before they came together, she was found with child, of the Holy Spirit. Whereupon Joseph her husband, being a just man, and not willing publicly to expose her, was minded to put her away privately. But while he thought on these things, behold the Angel of the Lord appeared to him in his sleep, saying: Joseph, son of David, fear not to take unto thee Mary thy wife, for That Which is conceived in her, is of the Holy Spirit. And she shall bring forth a son: and thou shalt call His name Jesus. for He shall save His people from their sins The Gospel of the Lord.
Praise be to Thee, O Christ. (Matthew 1: 18-21)

Amen. (Psalm 88: 25)

Through whom the angels praise Thy majesty, the dominions worship it, the powers stand in awe. the Heavens and the heavenly hosts with the blessed seraphim join together in cel-ebrating their joy. With these we pray Thee join our voices also, while saying with lowly praise... Holy, Holy, Holy...

Diversity it worderful. These rules point to diversity. Neither we nor your bishop is "right" or "correct" ot "better."

| ADVENT PURPLE | This is blueish purple. Use during advent. If you cannot afford both purple hues, use whichever you have. |
| LENT PURPLE | This is red-purple. You may use lent purple at funerals, but that tradition is basically dead (so to speak). |
