Fourth Sunday After Epiphany
Epistle.
Romans xiii. 8, 10.
Brethren: Owe no man any things, but to love one another; for he that loveth his neighbour, hath fulfilled the law. For “Thou shalt not commit adultery: Thou shalt not kill: Thou shalt not steal: Thou shalt not bear false witness: Thou shalt not covet and if there be any other commandment, it is comprised in this word: Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.” The love of our neighbour worketh no evil. Love, therefore, is the fulfilling of the law.
Gospel.
Matthew viii. 23, 27.
At that time: When Jesus entered into a boat his disciples followed him; and behold a great tempest arose in the sea, so that the ship was covered with waves; but he was asleep. And his disciples came to him, and awakened him, saying: Lord, save us, we perish. And Jesus saith to them: Why are ye fearful, O ye of little faith? Then rising up, he commanded the winds and the sea, and there came a great calm. But the men wondered, saying: What manner of man is this, for the winds and the sea obey him? Credo.
