O God, you declare your almighty
power chiefly in showing mercy and pity: Grant us
the fullness of your grace, that we, running to obtain
your promises, may become partakers of your heavenly
treasure; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives
and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God,
for ever and ever. Amen.

man who was dressed in purple and fine linen and who
feasted sumptuously every day. And at his gate lay

longed to satisfy his hunger with what fell from the
rich man's table; even the dogs would come and lick

died and was buried. In Hades, where he was being
tormented, he looked up and saw Abraham far away with
Lazarus by his side. He called out, `Father Abraham,
have mercy on me, and send Lazarus to dip the tip
of his finger in water and cool my tongue; for I am
in agony in these flames.' But Abraham said, `Child,
remember that during your lifetime you received your
good things, and Lazarus in like manner evil things;
but now he is comforted here, and you are in agony.
