Incorruptible and Undefiled
Inheritance that does not fade away,
reserved in Heaven for you who are
kept by the Power of God through
Faith for Salvation, to be Revealed in
the Last Time.
for a little while, if need be, you have
been grieved by various trials, so
that the genuiness of your Faith,
being much more precious than gold
that perishes, although it is tested by
fire, may be found to praise, to
honour and to glory in the
Revelation of Jesus Christ.Whom –
having not seen – we Love.
Although now we do not behold Him,
yet believing, we Rejoice with
Inexpressible Joy and full of Glory,
receiving the end of our Faith – the
Salvation of our soul
OF ST PETER 1 : 13 - 9
Beloved: Gird up your mind, be sober,
set your Hope fully upon the Grace
that is coming to you at the
Revelation of Jesus Christ.
As Obedient Children, do not be
conformed to the passions of your
former ignorance, but, as He Who
Called you is Holy, be Holy
yourselves in all your conduct, since
it is written: “You shall be Holy for I
Am Holy.”
And if you invoke as Father Him Who
Judges each one impartially
according to his deeds, conduct
yourselves with Fear throughout the
time of your exile.
You know that you were ransomed
from the futile ways inherited from
your Fathers, not with perishable
things such as silver or gold, but,
like that of a Lamb without blemish
or spot, with the Precious Blood of
Christ.
OF ST PETER 2: 11 - 24
Beloved: I beseech you as strangers
and exiles to abstain from the
passions of the flesh that wage war
against your soul.

FERVENT SUPPLICATIONS ➜
FESTAL VESPERS – ST ANDREW FIRST CALLED APOSTLE – 30 NOVEMBER
Good Deeds and Glorify God on the
Day of Visitation.
Be subject for our Lord’s sake to every
human institution – whether it be to
the Emperor as supreme, or to
Governors as sent by him to punish
those who do wrong - and praise
those who do right.
For it is God’s Will that by doing right,
you should put to silence the
ignorance of foolish people.
Live as free men, yet without using your
freedom as a excuse for evil, but live
as servants of God.
Honour all mankind.
Love the Brotherhood.
Fear God.
Honour the Emperor.
Servants – be submissive to your
masters with all respect – not only to
those who are kind and gentle, but
also to those who are overbearing.
– he endures pain while suffering
unjustly.
For what credit is it if, when you do
wrong and are beaten for it, you take
it patiently?
But if when you do right and suffer for
it, and you take it patiently, you have
God’s Approval.
For to this you have been Called,
because Christ also Suffered for you
– leaving you an Example – that you
should follow in His Footseps.
He committed no sin – no guile was
found upon His Lips.
in return; when He Suffered, He did
not threaten, but He trusted to Him
Who Judges Justly.

and Live to Righteousness...
