Lesson from the book of Kings
4 Kings, 5:1-15
In those days, Naaman, general of the army of the king of Syria, was a great man with his master, and honorable - for by him the Lord gave deliverance to Syria - and he was a valiant man and rich, but a leper. Now there had gone out robbers from Syria, and had led away captive out of the land of Israel a little maid, and she waited upon Naaman’s wife, and she said to her mistress, I wish my master had been with the prophet who is in Samaria; he would certainly have healed him of the leprosy which he has. Then Naaman went in to his lord, and told him, saying, Thus and thus said the girl from the land of Israel. And the king of Syria said to him, Go, and I will send a letter to the king of Israel. And he departed, and took with him ten talents of silver, and six thousand pieces of gold, and ten changes of raiment and brought the letter to the king of Israel, in these words, When you shall receive this letter, know that I have sent to you Naaman my servant, that you may heal him of his leprosy. And when the king of Israel had read the letter, he rent his garments and said, Am I God, to be able to kill and give life, that this man has sent to me to heal a man of his leprosy? Mark, and see how he seeks occasions against me. And when Eliseus the man of God had heard this, to wit, that the king of Israel had rent his garments, he sent to him, saying, Why have you rent your garments? Let him come in to me, and let him know that there is a prophet in Israel. So Naaman came with his horses and chariots, and stood at the door of the house of Eliseus: and Eliseus sent a messenger to him, saying, Go, and wash seven times in the Jordan, and your flesh shall recover health and you shall be clean. Naaman was angry and went away, saying, I thought he would have come out to me, and standing would have invoked the name of the Lord his God, and touched with his hand the place of the leprosy, and healed me. Are not the Abana and the Pharphar, rivers of Damascus, better than all the waters of Israel, that I may wash in them, and be made clean? So as he turned, and was going away with indignation, his servants came to him, and said to him, Father, if the prophet had bid you to do some great thing, surely you should have done it; how much rather what he now has said to you, ‘Wash, and you shall be clean’? Then he went down, and washed in the Jordan seven times, according to the word of the man of God, and his flesh was restored, like the flesh of a little child, and he was made clean. And returning to the man of God with all his train, he came, and stood before him, and said, In truth I know, there is no other God in all the earth, but only in Israel.
Léctio libri Regum.
4 Reg 5:1-15
In diébus illis: Náaman, princeps milítiæ regis Sýriæ, erat vir magnus apud dóminum suum, et honorátus: per illum enim dedit Dóminus salútem Sýriæ: erat autem vir fortis et dives, sed leprósus. Porro de Sýria egréssi fúerant latrúnculi, et captívam dúxerant de terra Israël puéllam párvulam, quæ erat in obséquio uxóris Náaman, quæ ait ad dóminam suam: Utinam fuísset dóminus meus ad Prophétam, qui est in Samaría: profécto curásset eum a lepra, quam habet. Ingréssus est ítaque Náaman ad dóminum suum, et nuntiávit ei, dicens: Sic et sic locúta est puélla de terra Israël. Dixítque ei rex Sýriæ: Vade, et mittam lítteras ad regem Israël. Qui cum proféctus esset, et tulísset secum decem talénta argénti, et sex míllia áureos, et decem mutatória vestimentórum, détulit lítteras ad regem Israël in hæc verba: Cum accéperis epístolam hanc, scito, quod míserim ad te Náaman servum meum, ut cures eum a lepra sua. Cumque legísset rex Israël lítteras, scidit vestiménta sua, et ait: Numquid Deus ego sum, ut occídere possim et vivificáre, quia iste misit ad me, ut curem hóminem a lepra sua? animadvértite et vidéte, quod occasiónes quærat advérsum me. Quod cum audísset Eliséus vir Dei, scidísse vidélicet regem Israël vestiménta sua, misit ad eum, dicens: Quare scidísti vestiménta tua? véniat ad me, et sciat esse prophétam in Israël. Venit ergo Náaman cum equis et cúrribus, et stetit ad óstium domus Eliséi: misítque ad eum Eliséus núntium, dicens: Vade, et laváre sépties in Jordáne, et recípiet sanitátem caro tua, atque mundáberis. Irátus Náaman recedébat, dicens: Putábam, quod egrederétur ad me, et stans invocáret nomen Dómini, Dei sui, et tángeret manu sua locum lepræ, et curáret me. Numquid non melióres sunt Abana et Pharphar, flúvii Damásci, ómnibus aquis Israël, ut laver in eis, et munder? Cum ergo vertísset se, et abíret indígnans, accessérunt ad eum servi sui, et locúti sunt ei: Pater, et si rem grandem dixísset tibi Prophéta, certe fácere debúeras: quanto magis quia nunc dixit tibi: Laváre, et mundáberis? Descéndit, et lavit in Jordáne sépties, juxta sermónem viri Dei, et restitúta est caro ejus, sicut caro púeri párvuli, et mundátus est. Reversúsque ad virum Dei cum univérso comitátu suo, venit, et stetit coram eo, et ait: Vere scio, quod non sit álius Deus in univérsa terra, nisi tantum in Israël.

Continuation of the Holy Gospel according to Luke
Luke 4:23-30
At that time, Jesus said to the Pharisees: You will surely quote me this proverb, ‘Physician, cure Yourself! Whatever things we have heard of as done in Capharnaum, do here also in Your own country!’ But He said, Amen I say to you, no prophet is acceptable in his own country. In truth I say to you, there were many widows in Israel in the days of Elias, when heaven was shut up for three years and six months, and a great famine came over all the land; and to none of them was Elias sent, but rather to a widowed woman in Sarepta of Sidon. And there were many lepers in Israel in the time of Eliseus the prophet; and not one of them was cleansed, but only Naaman the Syrian. And all in the synagogue, as they heard these things, were filled with wrath. And they rose up and put Him forth out of the town, and led Him to the brow of the hill, on which their town was built, that they might throw Him down headlong. But He, passing through their midst, went His way.
Sequéntia ☩ sancti Evangélii secúndum Lucam.
Luc 4:23-30.
In illo témpore: Dixit Jesus pharisǽis: Utique dicétis mihi hanc similitúdinem: Médice, cura teípsum: quanta audívimus facta in Caphárnaum, fac et hic in pátria tua. Ait autem: Amen, dico vobis, quia nemo prophéta accéptus est in pátria sua. In veritáte dico vobis, multæ víduæ erant in diébus Elíæ in Israël, quando clausum est cœlum annis tribus et ménsibus sex, cum facta esset fames magna in omni terra: et ad nullam illárum missus est Elías, nisi in Sarépta Sidóniæ ad mulíerem víduam. Et multi leprósi erant in Israël sub Eliséo Prophéta: et nemo eórum mundátus est nisi Náaman Syrus. Et repléti sunt omnes in synagóga ira, hæc audiéntes. Et surrexérunt, et ejecérunt illum extra civitátem: et duxérunt illum usque ad supercílium montis, super quem cívitas illórum erat ædificáta, ut præcipitárent eum. Ipse autem tránsiens per médium illórum, ibat.
Ps 54:2-3
Hearken, O God, to my prayer; turn not away from my pleading; give heed to me, and answer me.

Lent
It is truly meet and just, right and for our salvation, that we should at all times, and in all places, give thanks unto Thee, O holy Lord, Father almighty, everlasting God; Who by this bodily fast, dost curb our vices, dost lift up our minds and bestow on us strength and rewards; through Christ our Lord. Through whom the Angels praise Thy Majesty, the Dominations worship it, the Powers stand in awe. The Heavens and the heavenly hosts together with the blessed Seraphim in triumphant chorus unite to celebrate it. Together with these we entreat Thee that Thou mayest bid our voices also to be admitted while we say with lowly praise:
de Quadragesima
Vere dignum et justum est, æquum et salutáre, nos tibi semper et ubíque grátias ágere: Dómine, sancte Pater, omnípotens ætérne Deus: Qui corporáli ieiúnio vítia cómprimis, mentem élevas, virtútem largíris et prǽmia: per Christum Dóminum nostrum. Per quem majestátem tuam laudant Angeli, adórant Dominatiónes, tremunt Potestátes. Cæli cælorúmque Virtútes, ac beáta Séraphim, sócia exsultatióne concélebrant. Cum quibus et nostras voces, ut admítti iúbeas, deprecámur, súpplici confessióne dicéntes:
Ps 13:7
Oh, that out of Sion would come the salvation of Israel! When the Lord restores the well being of His people, then shall Jacob exult and Israel be glad.
Ps 13:7
Quis dabit ex Sion salutáre Israël? cum avérterit Dóminus captivitátem plebis suæ, exsultábit Jacob, et lætábitur Israël.
