Saint Martin of Tours, Bishop

Admonish them to be subject to princes and powers, to obey at a word, to be ready to every good work. ²To speak evil of no man, not to be litigious, but gentle: shewing all mildness towards all men. ³For we ourselves also were some time unwise, incredulous, erring, slaves to divers desires and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful, and hating one another. ⁴But when the goodness and kindness of God our Saviour appeared: ⁵Not by the works of justice, which we have done, but according to his mercy, he saved us, by the laver of regeneration, and renovation of the Holy Ghost; ⁶Whom he hath poured forth upon us abundantly, through Jesus Christ our Saviour: ⁷That, being justified by his grace, we may be heirs, according to hope of life everlasting.

¹A psalm for David. The Lord ruleth me: and I shall want nothing. ²He hath set me in a place of pasture. He hath brought me up, on the water of refreshment: ³He hath converted my soul. He hath led me on the paths of justice, for his own name’s sake. ⁴For though I should walk in the midst of the shadow of death, I will fear no evils, for thou art with me. Thy rod and thy staff, they have comforted me. ⁵Thou hast prepared a table before me against them that afflict me. Thou hast anointed my head with oil; and my chalice which inebriateth me, how goodly is it! ⁶And thy mercy will follow me all the days of my life. And that I may dwell in the house of the Lord unto length of days.

℟ The Lord ruleth me: and I shall want nothing.

And it came to pass, as he was going to Jerusalem, he passed through the midst of Samaria and Galilee. ¹²And as he entered into a certain town, there met him ten men that were lepers, who stood afar off; ¹³And lifted up their voice, saying: Jesus, master, have mercy on us. ¹⁴Whom when he saw, he said: Go, shew yourselves to the priests. And it came to pass, as they went, they were made clean. ¹⁵And one of them, when he saw that he was made clean, went back, with a loud voice glorifying God. ¹⁶And he fell on his face before his feet, giving thanks: and this was a Samaritan. ¹⁷And Jesus answering, said, Were not ten made clean? and where are the nine? ¹⁸There is no one found to return and give glory to God, but this stranger. ¹⁹And he said to him: Arise, go thy way; for thy faith hath made thee whole.
