Lesson from the first letter of St John the Apostle
1 John 3:13-18.
Beloved: Do not be surprised if the world hates you. We know that we have passed from death to life, because we love the brethren. He who does not love abides in death. Everyone who hates his brother is a murderer. And you know that no murderer has eternal life abiding in him. In this we have come to know His love, that He laid down His life for us; and we likewise ought to lay down our life for the brethren. He who has the goods of this world and sees his brother in need and closes his heart to him, how does the love of God abide in him? My dear children, let us not love in word, neither with the tongue, but in deed and in truth.
Léctio Epístolæ beáti Joánnis Apóstoli
1 John 3:13-18
Caríssimi: Nolíte mirári, si odit vos mundus. Nos scimus, quóniam transláti sumus de morte ad vitam, quóniam dilígimus fratres. Qui non díligit, manet in morte: omnis, qui odit fratrem suum, homicída est. Et scitis, quóniam omnis homicída non habet vitam ætérnam in semetípso manéntem. In hoc cognóvimus caritátem Dei, quóniam ille ánimam suam pro nobis pósuit: et nos debémus pro frátribus ánimas pónere. Qui habúerit substántiam hujus mundi, et víderit fratrem suum necessitátem habére, et cláuserit víscera sua ab eo: quómodo cáritas Dei manet in eo? Filíoli mei, non diligámus verbo neque lingua, sed ópere et veritáte.
Ps. 119:1-2.
In my distress I called to the Lord, and He answered me.
℣. O Lord, deliver me from lying lip, from treacherous tongue. Alleluia, alleluia.
Ps 7:2
℣. O Lord my God, in You I take refuge; save me from all my pursuers and rescue me. Alleluia.
Ps 119:1-2
Ad Dóminum, cum tribulárer, clamávi, et exaudívit me.
℣. Dómine, libera ánimam meam a lábiis iníquis, et a lingua dolósa. Allelúja, allelúja.
Ps 7:2
Dómine, Deus meus, in te sperávi: salvum me fac ex ómnibus persequéntibus me et líbera me. Allelúja.
Continuation ☩ of the Holy Gospel according to Luke
Luke 14:16-24.
At that time, Jesus spoke to the Pharisees this parable: A certain man gave a great supper, and he invited many. And he sent his servant at supper time to tell those invited to come, for everything is now ready. And they all with one accord began to excuse themselves. The first said to him, ‘I have bought a farm, and I must go out and see it; I pray you hold me excused.’ And another said, ‘I have bought five yoke of oxen, and I am on my way to try them; I pray you hold me excused.’ And another said, ‘I have married a wife, and therefore I cannot come.’ And the servant returned, and reported these things to his master. Then the master of the house was angry and said to his servant, ‘Go out quickly into the streets and lanes of the city, and bring in here the poor, and the crippled, and the blind, and the lame.’ And the servant said, ‘Sir, your order has been carried out, and still there is room.’ Then the master said to the servant, ‘Go out into the highways and hedges, and make them come in, so that my house may be filled. For I tell you that none of those who were invited shall taste of my supper.’
Sequéntia ☩ sancti Evangélii secúndum Lucam
Luc 14:16-24
In illo témpore: Dixit Jesus pharisǽis parábolam hanc: Homo quidam fecit cœnam magnam, et vocávit multos. Et misit servum suum hora cœnæ dícere invitátis, ut venírent, quia jam paráta sunt ómnia. Et cœpérunt simul omnes excusáre. Primus dixit ei: Villam emi, et necésse hábeo exíre et vidére illam: rogo te, habe me excusátum. Et alter dixit: Juga boum emi quinque et eo probáre illa: rogo te, habe me excusátum. Et álius dixit: Uxórem duxi, et ídeo non possum veníre. Et revérsus servus nuntiávit hæc dómino suo. Tunc irátus paterfamílias, dixit servo suo: Exi cito in pláteas et vicos civitátis: et páuperes ac débiles et cæcos et claudos íntroduc huc. Et ait servus: Dómine, factum est, ut imperásti, et adhuc locus est. Et ait dóminus servo: Exi in vias et sepes: et compélle intrare, ut impleátur domus mea. Dico autem vobis, quod nemo virórum illórum, qui vocáti sunt, gustábit cœnam meam.
Ps. 6:5.
Return, O Lord, save my life; rescue me because of Your kindness.
Ps 6:5
Dómine, convértere, et éripe ánimam meam: salvum me fac propter misericórdiam tuam.
May the sacrifice we are about to offer unto Your holy Name, O Lord, make us pure, and day by day help us to live a more heavenly life.
Through our Lord…
Oblátio nos, Dómine, tuo nómini dicánda puríficet: et de die in diem ad cœléstis vitæ tránsferat actiónem.

Holy Trinity
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, together with Thine only-begotten Son, and the Holy Ghost, art one God, one Lord: not in the oneness of a single Person, but in the Trinity of one substance. For what we believe by Thy revelation of Thy glory, the same do we believe of Thy Son, the same of the Holy Ghost, without difference or separation. So that in confessing the true and everlasting Godhead, distinction in persons, unity in essence, and equality in majesty may be adored. Which the Angels and Archangels, the Cherubim also and Seraphim do praise: who cease not daily to cry out, with one voice saying:
de sanctissima Trinitate
Vere dignum et justum est, æquum et salutáre, nos tibi semper et ubíque grátias ágere: Dómine sancte, Pater omnípotens, ætérne Deus: Qui cum unigénito Fílio tuo et Spíritu Sancto unus es Deus, unus es Dóminus: non in uníus singularitáte persónæ, sed in uníus Trinitáte substántiæ. Quod enim de tua glória, revelánte te, crédimus, hoc de Fílio tuo, hoc de Spíritu Sancto sine differéntia discretiónis sentímus. Ut in confessióne veræ sempiternǽque Deitátis, et in persónis propríetas, et in esséntia únitas, et in majestáte adorétur æquálitas. Quam laudant Angeli atque Archángeli, Chérubim quoque ac Séraphim: qui non cessant clamáre cotídie, una voce dicéntes:
Ps. 12:6.
I will sing of the Lord, He has been good to me; and I will sing to the Name of the Lord the Most High.
Ps 12:6
Cantábo Dómino, qui bona tríbuit mihi: et psallam nómini Dómini altíssimi.
We beseech You, O Lord, that having received Your gifts, each partaking of this sacrament may increase within us its saving effects.
Through our Lord…
Sumptis munéribus sacris, quǽsumus, Dómine: ut cum frequentatióne mystérii, crescat nostræ salútis efféctus.
Per Dominum…
