O God, the Strength of all them that put their trust in thee, mercifully accept our prayers, and because through the weakness of our mortal nature we can do no good thing without thee, grant us the help of thy grace, that in keeping of thy commandments we may please thee, both in will and deed.
Through our Lord…
Deus, in te sperántium fortitúdo, adésto propítius invocatiónibus nostris: et, quia sine te nihil potest mortális infírmitas, præsta auxílium grátiæ tuæ; ut, in exsequéndis mandátis tuis, et voluntáte tibi et actióne placeámus.

Commemoration St. Vitus
Grant O Lord, we pray, that through the intercession of thy Holy Martyrs Vitus, Modestus and Crescentia, thy Church be not high-minded, but grow in that humility which is pleasing to thee, so that despising evil, she may practice whatever is good with unbounded charity
Through our Lord…
Commemoratio Ss. Viti, Modesti atque Crescentiæ Martyrum
Da Ecclésiæ tuæ, quǽsumus, Dómine, sanctis Martýribus tuis Vito, Modésto atque Crescéntia intercedéntibus, supérbe non sápere, sed tibi plácita humilitáte profícere: ut, prava despíciens, quæcúmque recta sunt, libera exérceat caritáte.

Lesson from the first letter of St John the Apostle
1 John 4:8-21
Dearly beloved: He that loveth not, knoweth not God: for God is charity. By this hath the charity of God appeared towards us, because God hath sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we may live by him. In this is charity: not as though we had loved God, but because he hath first loved us, and sent his Son to be a propitiation for our sins. My dearest, if God hath so loved us; we also ought to love one another. No man hath seen God at any time. If we love one another, God abideth in us, and his charity is perfected in us. In this we know that we abide in him, and he in us: because he hath given us of his spirit. And we have seen, and do testify, that the Father hath sent his Son to be the Saviour of the world. Whosoever shall confess that Jesus is the Son of God, God abideth in him, and he in God. And we have known, and have believed the charity, which God hath to us. God is charity: and he that abideth in charity, abideth in God, and God in him. In this is the charity of God perfected with us, that we may have confidence in the day of judgment: because as he is, we also are in this world. Fear is not in charity: but perfect charity casteth out fear, because fear hath pain. And he that feareth, is not perfected in charity. Let us therefore love God, because God first hath loved us. If any man say, I love God, and hateth his brother; he is a liar. For he that loveth not his brother, whom he seeth, how can he love God, whom he seeth not? And this commandment we have from God, that he, who loveth God, love also his brother.
Léctio Epístolæ beáti Joánni Apóstoli
1 Joannnes 4:8-21
Caríssimi: Deus cáritas est. In hoc appáruit cáritas Dei in nobis, quóniam Fílium suum unigénitum misit Deus in mundum, ut vivámus per eum. In hoc est cáritas: non quasi nos dilexérimus Deum, sed quóniam ipse prior diléxit nos, et misit Fílium suum propitiatiónem pro peccátis nostris. Caríssimi, si sic Deus diléxit nos: et nos debémus altérutrum dilígere. Deum nemo vidit umquam. Si diligámus ínvicem, Deus in nobis manet, et cáritas ejus in nobis perfécta est. In hoc cognóscimus, quóniam in eo manémus et ipse in nobis: quóniam de Spíritu suo dedit nobis. Et nos vídimus et testificámur, quóniam Pater misit Fílium suum Salvatórem mundi. Quisquis conféssus fúerit, quóniam Jesus est Fílius Dei, Deus in eo manet et ipse in Deo. Et nos cognóvimus et credídimus caritáti, quam habet Deus in nobis. Deus cáritas est: et qui manet in caritáte, in Deo manet et Deus in eo. In hoc perfécta est cáritas Dei nobíscum, ut fidúciam habeámus in die judicii: quia, sicut ille est, et nos sumus in hoc mundo. Timor non est in caritáte: sed perfécta cáritas foras mittit timórem, quóniam timor pœnam habet. Qui autem timet, non est perféctus in caritáte. Nos ergo diligámus Deum, quóniam Deus prior diléxit nos. Si quis díxerit, quóniam díligo Deum, et fratrem suum óderit, mendax est. Qui enim non díligit fratrem suum, quem videt, Deum, quem non videt, quómodo potest dilígere? Et hoc mandátum habémus a Deo: ut, qui diligit Deum, díligat et fratrem suum.
Ps 40:5; 40:2
I said: O Lord, be thou merciful to me : heal my soul, for I have sinned against thee. Blessed is he that understandeth concerning the needy and the poor : the Lord will deliver him in the evil day.
Ps 5:2
Give ear, O Lord, to my words, understand my cry.
Ps 40:5; 40:2
Ego dixi: Dómine, miserére mei: sana ánimam meam, quia peccávi tibi.
℣. Beátus, qui intéllegit super egénum et páuperem: in die mala liberábit eum Dóminus.
Ps 5:2
Verba mea áuribus pércipe, Dómine: intéllege clamórem meum.
Continuation ☩ of the Holy Gospel according to Luke
Luke 6:36-42
In that time Jesus said to his disciples: Be ye therefore merciful, as your Father also is merciful. Judge not, and you shall not be judged. Condemn not, and you shall not be condemned. Forgive, and you shall be forgiven. Give, and it shall be given to you: good measure and pressed down and shaken together and running over shall they give into your bosom. For with the same measure that you shall mete withal, it shall be measured to you again. And he spoke also to them a similitude: Can the blind lead the blind? do they not both fall into the ditch? The disciple is not above his master: but every one shall be perfect, if he be as his master. And why seest thou the mote in thy brother's eye: but the beam that is in thy own eye thou considerest not? Or how canst thou say to thy brother: Brother, let me pull the mote out of thy eye, when thou thyself seest not the beam in thy own eye? Hypocrite, cast first the beam out of thy own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to take out the mote from thy brother's eye.
Sequéntia ☩ sancti Evangélii secúndum Lucam
Luc 6:36-42
In illo témpore: Dixit Jesus discípulis suis: Estóte misericórdes, sicut et Pater vester miséricors est. Nolíte judicáre, et non judicabímini: nolíte condemnáre, et non condemnabímini. Dimíttite, et dimittémini. Date, et dábitur vobis: mensúram bonam et confértam et coagitátam et supereffluéntem dabunt in sinum vestrum. Eadem quippe mensúra, qua mensi fuéritis, remetiétur vobis. Dicébat autem illis et similitúdinem: Numquid potest cæcus cæcum dúcere? nonne ambo in fóveam cadunt? Non est discípulus super magistrum: perféctus autem omnis erit, si sit sicut magister ejus. Quid autem vides festúcam in óculo fratris tui, trabem autem, quæ in óculo tuo est, non consíderas? Aut quómodo potes dícere fratri tuo: Frater, sine, ejíciam festúcam de óculo tuo: ipse in oculo tuo trabem non videns? Hypócrita, ejice primum trabem de oculo tuo: et tunc perspícies, ut edúcas festúcam de óculo fratris tui.
Ps 5:3-4
Hearken to the voice of my prayer, O my King and my God. For to thee will I pray: O Lord.
Ps 5:3-4.
Inténde voci orationis meæ, Rex meus et Deus meus: quóniam ad te orábo, Dómine.
Be appeased O Lord, we beseech thee, and accept the victims we dedicate to thee, and grant that they may avail us for perpetual aid.
Through our Lord…
Hóstias nostras, quǽsumus, Dómine, tibi dicátas placátus assúme: et ad perpétuum nobis tríbue proveníre subsídium.

Common
It is truly meet and just, and profitable unto salvation, that we should at all times, and in all places, give thanks to Thee, O Holy Lord, Father Almighty, eternal God, through Christ, our Lord. Through whom the Angels praise Thy Majesty, the Dominions adore it, the Powers are in awe. Which the heavens and the hosts of heaven together with the blessed Seraphim joyfully do magnify. And do Thou command that it be permitted us to join with them in confessing Thee, while we say with lowly praise:
Communis
Vere dignum et justum est, æquum et salutáre, nos tibi semper et ubíque grátias ágere: Dómine sancte, Pater omnípotens, ætérne Deus: 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 jubeas, deprecámur, súpplici confessione dicéntes:
Ps 9:2-3
I will relate all thy wonders. I will be glad and rejoice in thee: I will sing to thy name, O thou most high.
Ps 9:2-3
Narrábo ómnia mirabília tua: lætábor et exsultábo in te: psallam nómini tuo, Altíssime.
Filled O Lord, as we are with so great bounties, we beseech thee that we may receive the gifts of salvation and never cease from thy praise.

Tantis, Dómine, repléti munéribus: præsta, quǽsumus; ut et salutária dona capiámus, et a tua numquam laude cessémus.
