wise be found again, and Who didst manifest thereby the marvellous efficacy of~
thy sufferings, mercifully grant that by the Ransom which Thou didst pay upon~
that tree of life we may finally attain unto life eternal .

Lesson from the letter of St. Paul the Apostle to the Philippians
!Phil 2:5-11
v.  Brothers: For let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus: Who being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God: But emptied himself, taking the form of a servant, being made in the likeness of men, and in habit found as a man. He humbled himself, becoming obedient unto death, even to the death of the cross. For which cause God also hath exalted him, and hath given him a name which is above all names: That in the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those that are in heaven, on earth, and under the earth: And that every tongue should confess that the Lord Jesus Christ is in the glory of God the Father.

Allelúja, allelúja
!Ps 95:10
v.  Say ye among the Gentiles, the Lord hath reigned from the wood. Allelúja.
V. Sweet woods, sweet nails, bearing a sweet weigth, which alone wast worthy to bear the King of heaven and the Lord. Allelúja.

[Evangelium]
Continuation + of the Holy Gospel according to John
!John 3:1-15
v. In that time: there was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews. This man came to Jesus by night, and said to him: Rabbi, we know that thou art come a teacher from God; for no man can do these signs which thou dost, unless God be with him. Jesus answered, and said to him: Amen, amen I say to thee, unless a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God. Nicodemus saith to him: How can a man be born when he is old? can he enter a second time into his mother's womb, and be born again? Jesus answered: Amen, amen I say to thee, unless a man be born again of water and the Holy Ghost, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. That which is born of the flesh, is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit, is spirit. Wonder not, that I said to thee, you must be born again. The Spirit breatheth where he will; and thou hearest his voice, but thou knowest not whence he cometh, and whither he goeth: so is every one that is born of the Spirit. Nicodemus answered, and said to him: How can these things be done? Jesus answered, and said to him: Art thou a master in Israel, and knowest not these things? Amen, amen I say to thee, that we speak what we know, and we testify what we have seen, and you receive not our testimony. If I have spoken to you earthly things, and you believe not; how will you believe, if I shall speak to you heavenly things? And no man hath ascended into heaven, but he that descended from heaven, the Son of man who is in heaven. And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the desert, so must the Son of man be lifted up: That whosoever believeth in him, may not perish; but may have life everlasting.

!Ps 117:16; 117:17
v.  The right hand of the Lord hath wrought strength: the right hand of the Lord hath exalted me: I shall not die, but live: and shall declare the works of the Lord, allelúja.

Look with favor, O Lord, upon the sacrifice which we immolate to Thee, that it may preserve us from the horrors of war, and through the banner of the holy cross of Thy Son, may establish us in the security of Thy protection, to trample under foot the snares of the enemy’s power.
