Psalm 90
Reader.Wh.oso dwelleth under the de-

I will say unto the Lord, Thou

my God, in him will I trust.
For He shall deliver thee from the
snare of the hunter and from the

noisome pestilence.
He shall defend thee under his
wings, and thou shalt be safe under
his feathers : his truth shall be thy
shield.

which had come unto him: Verily,
verily, 1 say unto you, he that heareth
my word, and believeth on him that
sent me, hath everlasting life, and
shall not come into condemnation;
but is passed from death unto life.
Verily, verily, I say unto you: The
hour is coming, and now is, when the
dead shall hear the voice of the Son
of God: and they that hear shall live.
For as the Father hath life in him-

FOR A CHILD

The Reading is from the Holy


Gospel according to Luke.
Chap, xviii: 15-17, 26-27,

At that time they brought unto


Jesus infants, that he would touch
them but when his disciples saw it
:

they rebuked them. But Jesus


called them unto him, and said :

Suffer the little children to come


unto me, and forbid them not, for
of such is the kingdom of God. Verily,
I say unto you, Whosoever shall
not receive the kingdom of God
as a little child shall in no wise
enter therein. And they that heard
it said : Who then can be saved ?
And he said: The things which are
impossible with men are possible
with God.

The Priest then says the special
prayer for children, as follows :

O Lord, who guardest little children

which is and because of the
to come,
simplicity of their knowledge and
their innocence fillest up Abraham's
