Epistle gives the teaching of Prophets and Apostles,<br />

the Gospel is the direct teaching of Christ.<br />

The Gospel determines the choice of the Epistle ;<br />

these two lessons from the Bible are in perfect harmony,<br />

they often express the same idea, seen sometimes from<br />

different points of view. (See Epistle and Gospel for<br />

the Sundays in Advent, the Epiphany, Ash Wednesday,<br />

the First Sunday in Lent, Passion Sunday, the Second<br />

Sunday after Easter, Corpus Christi, the Immaculate<br />

Conception, the Seven Dolours, the Assumption, Pente<br />

cost, St. Augustine, Apostle of England ; St. Mary<br />

Magdalene, the Sacred Heart, and Masses for the<br />

Dead. The close relationship between the Epistle and<br />

Gospel is very evident in Votive Masses for the Angels,<br />

for the Holy Ghost, for the Passion of our Lord, for<br />

the grace of a Happy Death, for the Sick, for Bride<br />

and Bridegroom.)<br />

At the end of the Epistle the server answers Deo<br />

gratias, to give thanks to God for the gift of His holy<br />

doctrine.
