Lesson from the Prophecy of Jonas
Jonas 3:1-10
In those days, the word of the Lord came to Jona a second time: Set out for the great city of Ninive, and announce to it the message that I will tell you. So Jona made ready and went to Ninive, according to the Lord’s bidding. Now Ninive was an enormously large city; it took three days to go through it. Jona began his journey through the city, and had gone but a single day’s walk announcing, Forty days more and Ninive shall be destroyed, when the people of Ninive believed God; they proclaimed a fast and all of them, great and small, put on sackcloth. When the news reached the King of Ninive, he rose from his throne, laid aside his robe, covered himself with sackcloth, and sat in the ashes. Then he had this proclaimed throughout Ninive, by decree of the king and his nobles: Neither man nor beast, neither cattle nor sheep, shall taste anything; they shall not eat, nor shall they drink water. Man and beast shall be covered with sackcloth and call loudly to God; every man shall turn from his evil way and from violence he has in hand. Who knows, God may relent and forgive, and withhold His blazing wrath, so that we shall not perish. And God saw by their actions how they turned from their evil way; and the Lord, our God, had mercy upon His people.
Léctio Jonæ Prophétæ.
Jonæ 3:1-10
In diébus illis: Factum est verbum Dómini ad Jonam Prophétam secúndo, dicens: Surge, et vade in Níniven civitátem magnam: et prǽdica in ea prædicatiónem, quam ego loquor ad te. Et surréxit Jonas, et ábiit in Níniven juxta verbum Dómini. Et Nínive erat civitas magna itínere trium diérum. Et cœpit Jonas introíre in civitátem itínere diéi uníus: et clamávit et dixit: Adhuc quadragínta dies, et Nínive subvertétur. Et credidérunt viri Ninivítæ in Deum: et prædicavérunt jejúnium, et vestíti sunt saccis a majore usque ad minórem. Et pervénit verbum ad regem Nínive: et surréxit de sólio suo, et abjécit vestiméntum suum a se, et indútus est sacco, et sedit in cínere. Et clamávit et dixit in Nínive ex ore regis et príncipum ejus, dicens: Hómines et juménta et boves et pécora non gustent quidquam: nec pascántur, et aquam non bibant. Et operiántur saccis hómines et juménta, et clament ad Dóminum in fortitúdine, et convertátur vir a via sua mala, et ab iniquitáte, quæ est in mánibus eórum. Quis scit, si convertátur et ignóscat Deus: et revertátur a furóre iræ suæ, et non períbimus? Et vidit Deus ópera eórum, quia convérsi sunt de via sua mala: et misértus est pópulo suo Dóminus, Deus noster.

Continuation of the Holy Gospel according to John
John 7:32-39
At that time, the rulers and Pharisees sent attendants to seize Jesus. Jesus then said, Yet a little while I am with you, and then I go to Him Who sent Me. You will seek Me and will not find Me; and where I am you cannot come. The Jews therefore said among themselves, Where is He going that we shall not find Him? Will He go to those dispersed among the Gentiles , and teach the Gentiles? What is this statement that He has made, ‘You will seek Me and will not find Me, and where I am you cannot come’? Now on the last, the great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried out, saying, If anyone thirst, let him come to Me and drink. He who believes in Me, as the Scripture says, ‘From within him there shall flow rivers of living waters.’ He said this, however, of the Spirit Whom they who believed in Him were to receive.
Sequéntia ☩ sancti Evangélii secúndum Joánnem.
Joann 7:32-39
In illo témpore: Misérunt príncipes et pharisǽi minístros, ut apprehénderent Jesum. Dixit ergo eis Jesus: Adhuc módicum tempus vobíscum sum: et vado ad eum, qui me misit. Quærétis me, et non inveniétis: et ubi ego sum, vos non potéstis veníre. Dixérunt ergo Judǽi ad semetípsos: Quo hic itúrus est, quia non inveniémus eum? numquid in dispersiónem géntium itúrus est, et doctúrus gentes? Quis est hic sermo, quem dixit: Quærétis me, et non inveniétis: et ubi sum ego, vos non potéstis veníre? In novíssimo autem die magno festivitátis stabat Jesus, et clamábat, dicens: Si quis sitit, véniat ad me et bibat. Qui credit in me, sicut dicit Scriptúra, flúmina de ventre ejus fluent aquæ vivæ. Hoc autem dixit de Spíritu, quem acceptúri erant credéntes in eum.
Ps 6:5
Return, O Lord, save my life; rescue me because of Your kindness.
Ps 6:5
Dómine, convértere, et éripe ánimam meam: salvum me fac propter misericórdiam tuam.

Holy Cross
It is 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; Who didst establish the salvation of mankind on the tree of the Cross; that whence death came, thence also life might arise again, and that he, who overcame by the tree, by the tree also might be overcome: Through Christ our Lord. Through whom the Angels praise Thy Majesty, the Dominations worship it, the Powers stand in awe. The Heavens and the heavenly hosts together with the blessed Seraphim in triumphant chorus unite to celebrate it. Together with these we entreat Thee that Thou mayest bid our voices also to be admitted while we say with lowly praise:
de Sancta Cruce
Vere dignum et justum est, æquum et salutáre, nos tibi semper et ubíque grátias ágere: Dómine sancte, Pater omnípotens, ætérne Deus: Qui salútem humáni géneris in ligno Crucis constituísti: ut, unde mors oriebátur, inde vita resúrgeret: et, qui in ligno vincébat, in ligno quoque vincerétur: per Christum, Dóminum nostrum. Per quem majestátem tuam laudant Angeli, adórant Dominatiónes, tremunt Potestátes. Cæli cælorúmque Virtútes ac beáta Séraphim sócia exsultatióne concélebrant. Cum quibus et nostras voces ut admítti júbeas, deprecámur, súpplici confessióne dicéntes:
Ps 23:10
The Lord of Hosts, He is the King of Glory.
Ps 23:10
Dóminus virtútum ipse est Rex glóriæ.
May the sacrament of salvation which we have received, we beseech You, O Lord, cleanse and restore us.
Through our Lord…
Sacraménti tui, quǽsumus, Dómine, participátio salutáris, et purificatiónem nobis tríbuat, et medélam.
