The two Lessons, the second of which is read as The Epistle, tell of Moses and Elias, who, before seeing The Glory of The Lord, Fasted Forty Days and Forty Nights. Called to take the place of the rebellious Jews, let us make ourselves worthy of The Fruits of Penance, as did the men of Ninive, who listened to the voice of Jonas, and the Queen of Saba, who came from her distant Country to learn The Wisdom of Solomon (Gospel). We shall participate, then, in The Resurrection of The Saviour, symbolised by The Prophet, who, after remaining three days in the whale’s stomach, was vomited out alive.
Let us Pray to God that we may be strengthened in mind by The Fruit of Good Works, while we mortify our bodies by Abstinence (Collect).
