Lesson from the Acts of Apostles
Acts 10:37-43.
In those days Peter standing among the people, said: You know the word which hath been published through all Judea: for it began from Galilee, after the baptism which John preached, Jesus of Nazareth: how God anointed him with the Holy Ghost, and with power, who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed by the devil, for God was with him. And we are witnesses of all things that he did in the land of the Jews and in Jerusalem, whom they killed, hanging him upon a tree. Him God raised up the third day, and gave him to be made manifest, not to all the people, but to witnesses preordained by God, even to us, who did eat and drink with him after he arose again from the dead; And he commanded us to preach to the people, and to testify that it is he who was appointed by God, to be judge of the living and of the dead. To him all the prophets give testimony, that by his name all receive remission of sins, who believe in him.
Léctio Actuum Apostólorum
Act. 10, 37-43.
In diébus illis: Stans Petrus in médio plebis, dixit: Viri fratres, vos scitis, quod factum est verbum per univérsam Judǽam: incípiens enim a Galilǽa, post baptísmum, quod prædicávit Joánnes, Jesum a Názareth: quómodo unxit eum Deus Spíritu Sancto et virtúte, qui pertránsiit benefaciéndo, et sanándo omnes oppréssos a diábolo, quóniam Deus erat cum illo. Et nos testes sumus ómnium, quæ fecit in regióne Judæórum et Jerúsalem, quem occidérunt suspendéntes in ligno. Hunc Deus suscitávit tértia die, et dedit eum maniféstum fíeri, non omni pópulo, sed téstibus præordinátis a Deo: nobis, qui manducávimus et bíbimus cum illo, postquam resurréxit a mórtuis. Et præcépit nobis prædicáre pópulo et testificári, quia ipse est, qui constitútus est a Deo judex vivórum et mortuórum. Huic omnes Prophétæ testimónium pérhibent, remissiónem peccatórum accípere per nomen ejus omnes, qui credunt in eum.
Ps 117:24; 117:2.
This is the day which the Lord hath made: let us be glad and rejoice therein.
℣. Let Israel now say, that He is good: for His mercy endureth forever. Allelúja, allelúja.
Matt 28:2
An angel of the Lord descended from heaven, and coming, rolled back the stone, and sat upon it.
Ps 117:24; 117:2
Hæc dies, quam fecit Dóminus: exsultémus et lætémur in ea.
℣. Dicat nunc Israël, quóniam bonus: quóniam in sǽculum misericórdia ejus.
Allelúja, allelúja.
Matt 28:2
Angelus Dómini descéndit de cœlo: et accédens revólvit lápidem, et sedébat super eum.
Christians! to the Paschal Victim offer your thankful praises.
The Lamb the sheep redeemeth: Christ, who only is sinless, reconcileth sinners to the Father.
Death and life contended in that conflict stupendous: the Prince of Life, who died, deathless reigneth.
Speak, Mary, declaring what thou sawest wayfaring.
“The tomb of Christ who now liveth: and likewise the glory of the Risen.
Bright Angels attesting, the shroud and napkin resting.
Yea, Christ my hope is arisen: to Galilee He goeth before you.”
We know that Christ is risen, henceforth ever living: Have mercy, Victor King, pardon giving. Amen. Alleluia.
Víctimæ pascháli laudes ímmolent Christiáni.
Agnus rédemit oves: Christus ínnocens Patri reconciliávit peccatóres.
Mors et vita duéllo conflixére mirándo: dux vitæ mórtuus regnat vivus.
Dic nobis, María, quid vidísti in via?
Sepúlcrum Christi vivéntis et glóriam vidi resurgéntis.
Angélicos testes, sudárium et vestes.
Surréxit Christus, spes mea: præcédet vos in Galilǽam.
Scimus Christum surrexísse a mórtuis vere: tu nobis, victor Rex, miserére. Amen. Allelúja.
Sequentia dicitur usque ad Sabbatum in Albis inclusive.
Continuation ☩ of the Holy Gospel according to Luke
Luke 24:13-35
In that time two of them went, the same day, to a town which was sixty furlongs from Jerusalem, named Emmaus. And they talked together of all these things which had happened. And it came to pass, that while they talked and reasoned with themselves, Jesus himself also drawing near, went with them. But their eyes were held, that they should not know him. And he said to them: What are these discourses that you hold one with another as you walk, and are sad? And the one of them, whose name was Cleophas, answering, said to him: Art thou only a stranger to Jerusalem, and hast not known the things that have been done there in these days? To whom he said: What things? And they said: Concerning Jesus of Nazareth, who was a prophet, mighty in work and word before God and all the people; And how our chief priests and princes delivered him to be condemned to death, and crucified him. But we hoped, that it was he that should have redeemed Israel: and now besides all this, to day is the third day since these things were done. Yea and certain women also of our company affrighted us, who before it was light, were at the sepulchre, And not finding his body, came, saying, that they had also seen a vision of angels, who say that he is alive. And some of our people went to the sepulchre, and found it so as the women had said, but him they found not. Then he said to them: O foolish, and slow of heart to believe in all things which the prophets have spoken. Ought not Christ to have suffered these things, and so to enter into his glory? And beginning at Moses and all the prophets, he expounded to them in all the scriptures, the things that were concerning him. And they drew nigh to the town, whither they were going: and he made as though he would go farther. But they constrained him; saying: Stay with us, because it is towards evening, and the day is now far spent. And he went in with them. And it came to pass, whilst he was at table with them, he took bread, and blessed, and brake, and gave to them. And their eyes were opened, and they knew him: and he vanished out of their sight. And they said one to the other: Was not our heart burning within us, whilst he spoke in this way, and opened to us the scriptures? And rising up, the same hour, they went back to Jerusalem: and they found the eleven gathered together, and those that were staying with them, Saying: The Lord is risen indeed, and hath appeared to Simon. And they told what things were done in the way; and how they knew him in the breaking of the bread.
Sequéntia ☩ sancti Evangélii secúndum Lucam
Luc. 24:13-35
In illo témpore: Duo ex discípulis Jesu ibant ipsa die in castéllum, quod erat in spátio stadiórum sexagínta ab Jerúsalem, nómine Emmaus. Et ipsi loquebántur ad ínvicem de his ómnibus, quæ accíderant. Et factum est, dum fabularéntur et secum quǽrerent: et ipse Jesus appropínquans ibat cum illis: óculi autem illórum tenebántur, ne eum agnóscerent. Et ait ad illos: Qui sunt hi sermónes, quos confértis ad ínvicem ambulántes, et estis tristes? Et respóndens unus, cui nomen Cléophas, dixit ei: Tu solus peregrínus es in Jerúsalem, et non cognovísti, quæ facta sunt in illa his diébus? Quibus ille dixit: Quæ? Et dixérunt: De Jesu Nazaréno, qui fuit vir Prophéta potens in ópere et sermóne, coram Deo et omni pópulo: et quómodo eum tradidérunt summi sacerdótes et príncipes nostri in damnatiónem mortis, et crucifixérunt eum. Nos autem sperabámus, quia ipse esset redemptúrus Israël: et nunc super hæc ómnia tértia dies est hódie, quod hæc facta sunt. Sed et mulíeres quædam ex nostris terruérunt nos, quæ ante lucem fuérunt ad monuméntum, et, non invénto córpore ejus, venérunt, dicéntes se étiam visiónem Angelórum vidísse, qui dicunt eum vívere. Et abiérunt quidam ex nostris ad monuméntum: et ita invenérunt, sicut mulíeres dixérunt, ipsum vero non invenérunt. Et ipse dixit ad eos: O stulti et tardi corde ad credéndum in ómnibus, quæ locúti sunt Prophétæ! Nonne hæc opórtuit pati Christum, et ita intráre in glóriam suam? Et incípiens a Móyse et ómnibus Prophétis, interpretabátur illis in ómnibus Scriptúris, quæ de ipso erant. Et appropinquavérunt castéllo, quo ibant: et ipse se finxit lóngius ire. Et coëgérunt illum, dicéntes: Mane nobiscum, quóniam advesperáscit et inclináta est jam dies. Et intrávit cum illis. Et factum est, dum recúmberet cum eis, accépit panem, et benedíxit, ac fregit, et porrigébat illis. Et apérti sunt óculi eórum, et cognovérunt eum: et ipse evánuit ex óculis eórum. Et dixérunt ad ínvicem: Nonne cor nostrum ardens erat in nobis, dum loquerétur in via, et aperíret nobis Scriptúras? Et surgéntes eádem hora regréssi sunt in Jerúsalem: et invenérunt congregátas úndecim, et eos, qui cum illis erant, dicéntes: Quod surréxit Dóminus vere, et appáruit Simóni. Et ipsi narrábant, quæ gesta erant in via: et quómodo cognovérunt eum in fractióne panis.
Matt 28:2; 28:5-6
An angel of the Lord descended from heaven, and said to the women: Jesus, whom you seek He is not here, for he is risen, as he said. Allelúja.
Matt 28:2; 28:5-6
Angelus Dómini descéndit de cœlo, et dixit muliéribus: Quem quǽritis, surréxit, sicut dixit, allelúja.
Adept, O Lord we beseech thee, the prayers with the sacrifices of the people, and grant that what we have begun at these paschal mysteries, may with thy help be a remedy for life eternal.
Through our Lord…
Súscipe, quǽsumus, Dómine, preces pópuli tui cum oblatiónibus hostiárum: ut, paschálibus initiáta mystériis, ad æternitátis nobis medélam, te operánte, profíciant.
Per Dominum…
Easter
It is truly meet and just, right and for our salvation, at all times to praise Thee, O Lord, but more gloriously especially in this season (sed tempore Passionis)
on this night (sed octava Paschæ)
on this day when Christ our Pasch was sacrificed. For He is the Lamb Who hath taken away the sins of the world: Who by dying hath destroyed our death: and by rising again hath restored us to life. And therefore with Angels and Archangels, with Thrones and Dominations, and with all the hosts of the heavenly army, we sing the hymn of Thy glory, evermore saying:
Paschalis
Vere dignum et justum est, æquum et salutáre: Te quidem, Dómine, omni témpore, sed in hoc potíssimum (sed tempore Passionis)
hac potíssimum nocte (sed octava Paschæ)
hac potíssimum die gloriósius prædicáre, cum Pascha nostrum immolátus est Christus. Ipse enim verus est Agnus, qui ábstulit peccáta mundi. Qui mortem nostram moriéndo destrúxit et vitam resurgéndo reparávit. Et ídeo cum Angelis et Archángelis, cum Thronis et Dominatiónibus cumque omni milítia cœléstis exércitus hymnum glóriæ tuæ cánimus, sine fine dicéntes:
Luke 24:34
The Lord is risen indeed, and hath appeared to Simon.
Luc 24:34
Surréxit Dóminus, et appáruit Petro, allelúja.
Pour forth upon us, O Lord, the spirit of Thy love, that, by Thy loving kindness, Thou mayest make to be of one mind those whom Thou hast satisfied with the Paschal Sacraments.
Through our Lord… eiusdem
Spíritum nobis, Dómine, tuæ caritátis infúnde: ut, quos sacraméntis paschálibus satiásti, tua fácias pietáte concórdes.
Per Dominum…
