The kingdom * of heaven is like unto a man that is an householder, which went out early in the morning to hire labourers into his vineyard, saith the Lord.

℣.Lord, thou hast been our refuge.
℟.From one generation to another.
At II Vespers · Magnificat
The householder * saith unto the labourers, Why stand ye here all the day idle? They say unto him, Because no man hath hired us. Go ye also into the vineyard, and whatsoever is right, I will give you.
Collect
O Lord, we beseech thee favourably to hear the prayers of thy people; that we, who are justly punished for our offences, may be mercifully delivered by thy goodness, for the glory of thy Name. Through thy Son Jesus Christ our Lord, who with thee in the unity of the Holy Spirit, liveth and reigneth God, world without end.
℟.Amen.
