Through our Lord…
Deus, misericordiárum pater, per mérita et intercessiónem beáti Hieronymi, quem órphanis adjutorem et patrem esse voluísti: concéde; ut spíritum adoptiónis, quo fílii tui nominámur et sumus, fidéliter custodiámus.

Lesson from the book of Isaias
Isa 58:7-11
Thus says the Lord: Share your bread with the hungry, shelter the oppressed and the homeless; clothe the naked when you see them, and do not turn your back on your own. Then your light shall break forth like the dawn, and your wound shall quickly be healed; your vindication shall go before you, and the glory of the Lord shall be your rear guard. Then you shall call, and the Lord will answer, you shall cry for help, and He will say: ‘Here I am! If you remove from your midst oppression, false accusation and malicious speech; if you bestow your bread on the hungry and satisfy the afflicted; then light shall rise for you in the darkness, and the gloom shall become for you like the midday; then the Lord will guide you always and give you plenty even on the parched land. He will renew your strength, and you shall be like a watered garden, like a spring whose water never fails.
Léctio Isaíæ Prophétæ
Is 58:7-11.
Hæc dicit Dóminus: Frange esuriénti panem tuum, et egénos vagósque induc in domum tuam: cum víderis nudum, operi eum, et carnem tuam ne despéxeris. Tunc erúmpet quasi mane lumen tuum, et sánitas tua citius oriétur, et anteíbit fáciem tuam justítia tua, et glória Dómini cólliget te. Tunc invocábis, et Dóminus exáudiet: clamabis, et dicet: Ecce, adsum; si abstúleris de médio tui caténam, et desíeris exténdere dígitum, et loqui quod non prodest. Cum effúderis esuriénti ánimam tuam, et ánimam afflíctam repléveris. Oriétur in tenebris lux tua, et ténebræ tuæ erunt sicut merídies. Et réquiem tibi dabit Dóminus semper, et implébit splendóribus ánimam tuam, et ossa tua liberábit, et eris quasi hortus irríguus, et sicut fons aquárum, cujus non defícient aquæ.
Prov 5:16
Let your water sources be dispersed abroad, and in the streets divide your waters.
Ps 111:5-6
℣. Well for the man who is gracious and lends, who conducts his affairs with justice; he shall never be moved. Alleluia, alleluia.
Ps 111:9
Lavishly he gives to the poor; his generosity shall endure forever. Alleluia.
Prov 5:16
Derivéntur fontes tui foras, et in platéis aquas tuas divide.
Ps 111:5-6
Jucúndus homo, qui miserétur et cómmodat: dispónet sermónes suos in judício, quia in ætérnum non commovébitur. Allelúja, allelúja.
Ps 111:9
℣. Dispérsit, dedit paupéribus: justítia ejus manet in sǽculum sǽculi. Allelúja.
Continuation ☩ of the Holy Gospel according to Matthew
Matt 19:13-21
At that time, little children were brought to Jesus, that He might lay His hands on them and pray; but the disciples rebuked them. But Jesus said to them, Let the little children be, and do not hinder them from coming to Me, for of such is the kingdom of heaven. And when He had laid His hands on them, He departed from that place. And behold, a certain man came to Him and said, Good Master, what good work shall I do to have eternal life? He said to him, Why do you ask Me about what is good? One there is Who is good, and He is God. But if you will enter into life, keep the commandments. He said to Him, Which? And Jesus said, You shall not kill. You shall not commit adultery. You shall not steal. You shall not bear false witness. Honor your father and mother. And, you shall love your neighbor as yourself. The young man said to Him, All these I have kept; what is yet wanting to me? Jesus said to him, If you will be perfect, go, sell what you have, and give to the poor, and you shall have treasure in heaven; and come, follow Me.
Sequéntia ☩ sancti Evangélii secúndum Matthǽum
Matt 19:13-21
In illo témpore: Obláti sunt Jesu párvuli, ut manus eis impóneret et oráret. ¶ Discípuli autem increpábant eos. Jesus vero ait eis: Sínite párvulos, et nolíte eos prohibére ad me veníre: tálium est enim regnum cœlórum. Et cum imposuísset eis manus, ábiit inde. Et ecce, unus accedens, ait illi: Magíster bone, quid boni fáciam, ut hábeam vitam ætérnam? Qui dixit ei: Quid me intérrogas de bono? Unus est bonus, Deus. Si autem vis ad vitam íngredi, serva mandáta. Dicit illi: Quæ? Jesus autem dixit: Non homicídium fácies: Non adulterábis: Non fácies furtum: Non falsum testimónium dices: Hónora patrem tuum et matrem tuam, et díliges próximum tuum sicut te ipsum. Dicit illi adoléscens: Omnia hæc custodívi a juventúte mea: quid adhuc mihi deest? Ait illi Jesus: Si vis perféctus esse, vade, vende, quæ habes, et da paupéribus, et habébis thesáurum in cœlo: et veni, séquere me.
Tob 12:12
When you prayed with tears, and buried the dead, and left your dinner, and hid the dead by day in your house, and buried them by night, I offered your prayer to the Lord.
Tob 12:12
Quando orábas cum lácrimis, et sepeliébas mórtuos, et derelinquébas prándium tuum, et mórtuos abscondébas per diem in domo tua, et nocte sepeliébas eos: ego óbtuli oratiónem tuam Dómino.

Through our Lord…
Clementíssime Deus, qui, véteri homine consúmpto, novum secúndum te in beáto Hierónymo creáre dignátus es: da, per mérita ipsíus; ut nos, páriter renováti, hanc placatiónis hóstiam in odórem tibi suavíssimum offerámus.

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:
James 1:27
Religion pure and undefiled before God the Father, is this: to give aid to orphans and widows in their tribulation, and to keep oneself unspotted from this world.
Jac 1:27
Relígio munda et immaculáta apud Deum et Patrem hæc est: Visitáre pupíllos et víduas in tribulatióne eórum, et immaculátum se custodíre ab hoc sǽculo.
Refreshed with the bread of angels, we humbly pray You, O Lord, that we who joyfully celebrate the yearly feast of blessed Jerome, Your Confessor, may follow his example and be enabled to win a most abundant reward in Your kingdom.
Through our Lord…
Angelórum pane refécti te, Dómine, supplíciter deprecámur: ut, qui ánnuam beáti Hierónymi Confessóris tui memóriam celebráre gaudémus; ejúsdem étiam et exémplum imitémur, et amplíssimum in regno tuo præmium obtinére valeámus.
Per Dominum…
Commemoration St. Margaret
We who have been refreshed by the richness of Your divine sacrament beseech You, O Lord our God, that through the intercession of blessed N., Your Virgin and Martyr, we may forevermore abide in its participation.
