_Luke_ xvii. 11, 19.
_At that time:_ As Jesus was going to Jerusalem, he passed
through the midst of Samaria and Galilee. And as he entered into
a certain town, there met him ten men that were lepers, who stood
afar off, and lifted up their voice, saying: Jesus, Master, have
mercy on us. Whom when he saw, he said: Go, show yourselves to
the priests. And it came to pass, that as they went, they were
made clean. And one of them when he saw that he was made clean,
went back, with a loud voice glorifying God. And he fell on his
face before his feet, giving thanks: and this was a Samaritan.
And Jesus answering, said: Were not ten made clean, and where are
the nine? There is no one found to return and give glory to God,
but this stranger. And he said to him: Arise, go thy way; for thy
faith hath made thee whole. Credo.

Epistle.
_Galatians_ v. 16, 24,
_Brethren:_ Walk in the Spirit, and you shall not fulfil the
lusts of the flesh. For the flesh lusteth against the spirit; and
the spirit against the flesh: for these are contrary to one
another, so that you do not the things that you would. But if you
are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law. Now the works
of the flesh are manifest, which are, fornication, uncleanness,
immodesty, luxury, idolatry, witchcrafts, enmities, contentions,
emulations, wraths, quarrels, dissensions, sects, envy, murders,
drunkenness, revellings, and such like.
{450}
Of the which I foretell you, as I have foretold to you, that they
who do such things shall not obtain the kingdom of God. But the
fruit of the Spirit is charity, joy, peace, patience, benignity,
goodness, longanimity, mildness, faith, modesty, continency,
chastity. Against such there is no law. And they that are
Christ's, have crucified their flesh with the vices and
concupiscences.
