O God, it was you who conferred the name of Jesus upon your only
begotten Son, the Savior of the world. Grant that by venerating his

EPISTLE
- READING Acts 4: 8-12
This Name means
Savior, "for there is no other name given to men whereby we must be
saved." The curing of a cripple was accomplished by the power of
Jesus. Salvation for everybody comes through the crucifixion,
resurrection, and continued power of Jesus.
|
|
In those days, Peter, filled with the Holy Spirit, said, “Rulers of
the people and elders, if we are on trial today about a good work
done to a cripple, as to how this man has been cured, be it known to
all of you and to all the people of Israel that in the name of our
Lord Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom you crucified, whom God has
raised from the dead, even in the name does he stand before you,
sound.
“This is the stone which was rejected by you, the builders, which
has become the corner stone.” Neither is there salvation in any
other. For there is no other name under heaven given to men, by
which we must be saved.” |

Vere dignum et justum est, aequum et salutare, nos tibi semper,
et ubique gratias agere: Domine sancte, Pater omnipotens, aeterne
Deus: Quia per incarnati Verbi mysterium nova mentis nostrae oculis
lux tuae claritatis infulsit: ut, dum visibiliter Deum cognoscimus,
per hunc in invisibilum amorem rapiamur. Et ideo cum Angelis et
Archangelis, cum Thronis et Dominationibus, cumque omni militai
coelestis exercitus, hymnum gloriae tuae canimus sine fine dicentes: |
|
It it truly meet and just, right and for our salvation, that we
should at all times, and in all places, give thanks unto Thee, O
holy Lord, Father almighty, everlasting God, for through the Mystery
of the Word made flesh, the new light of Thy glory hath shone upon
the eyes of our mind, so that while we acknowledge God in visible
form, we may through Him be drawn to the love of things invisible.
And therefore with Angels and Archangels, with Throne and
Dominations, and with all the hosts of the heavenly army, we sing
the hymn of Thy glory, evermore saying: |
