Epistle

§ 305Hebrews 2:2-10

Chant

The Commons service — the class’s own, not the day’s. Sung where the day prints no propers of its own: 0 of the 4 dated days below. 4 print their own propers, and those are what is sung.

Prokeimenon, Tone 4

He makes His Angels spirits / and His ministers a flaming fire.

Verse: Bless the Lord, O my soul! O Lord, my God, Thou art very great!

Alleluia, Tone 5

Praise the Lord, O ye Angels of His! Praise Him all His hosts!

Verse: For He spoke and they came into being; He commanded and they were created.

Communion Hymn

He makes His Angels spirits, and His ministers a flaming fire.

Where these Epistles are read — 4

Reading a class’s Epistle is not the same as belonging to the class. The Apostol appoints §233 on 18 August because that day’s service is copied from December 10, not because Florus and Laurus are Confessors.
