If ye then be risen with CHRIST, seek those things that are above, where CHRIST sitteth at the right hand of GOD. Set your affections on things above, not on things on the earth, for ye are dead and your life is hid with CHRIST in GOD.

R. To whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen.

V. The LORD be with you:

R. And with thy spirit.

WEDNESDAY.

THURSDAY.
