Lesson from the Acts of Apostles
Acts 8:26-40
In that time, an angel of the Lord spoke to Philip, saying: Arise, go towards the south, to the way that goeth down from Jerusalem into Gaza: this is desert. And rising up, he went. And behold a man of Ethiopia, an eunuch, of great authority under Candace the queen of the Ethiopians, who had charge over all her treasures, had come to Jerusalem to adore. And he was returning, sitting in this chariot, and reading Isaias the prophet. And the Spirit said to Philip: Go near, and join thyself to this chariot. And Philip running thither, heard him reading the prophet Isaias. And he said: Thinkest thou that thou understandest what thou readest? Who said: And how can I, unless some man shew me? And he desired Philip that he would come up and sit with him. And the place of the scripture which he was reading was this: He was led as a sheep to the slaughter; and like a lamb without voice before his shearer, so openeth he not his mouth. In humility his judgment was taken away. His generation who shall declare, for his life shall be taken from the earth? And the eunuch answering Philip, said: I beseech thee, of whom doth the prophet speak this? of himself, or of some other man? Then Philip, opening his mouth, and beginning at this scripture, preached unto him Jesus. And as they went on their way, they came to a certain water; and the eunuch said: See, here is water: what doth hinder me from being baptized? And Philip said: If thou believest with all thy heart, thou mayest. And he answering, said: I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God. And he commanded the chariot to stand still; and they went down into the water, both Philip and the eunuch: and he baptized him. And when they were come up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord took away Philip; and the eunuch saw him no more. And he went on his way rejoicing. But Philip was found in Azotus; and passing through, he preached the gospel to all the cities, till he came to Caesarea.
Léctio Actuum Apostolorum
Act 8:26-40
In diébus illis: Angelus Dómini locútus est ad Philíppum, dicens: Surge et vade contra meridiánum ad viam, quæ descéndit ab Jerúsalem in Gazam: hæc est desérta. Et surgens ábiit. Et ecce vir Æthiops eunúchus, potens Candácis regínæ Æthíopum, qui erat super omnes gazas ejus, vénerat adoráre in Jerúsalem: et revertebátur sedens super currum suum, legénsque Isaíam Prophétam. Dixit autem Spíritus Philíppo: Accéde et adjúnge te ad currum istum. Accúrrens autem Philíppus, audívit eum legéntem Isaíam Prophétam, et dixit: Putásne, intéllegis, quæ legis? Qui ait: Et quómodo possum, si non áliquis osténderit mihi? Rogavítque Philíppum, ut ascénderet et sedéret secum. Locus autem Scriptúræ, quam legébat, erat hic: Tamquam ovis ad occisiónem ductus est: et sicut agnus coram tondénte se, sine voce, sic non apéruit os suum. In humilitáte judícium ejus sublátum est. Generatiónem ejus quis enarrábit, quóniam tollétur de terra vita ejus? Respóndens autem eunúchus Philíppo, dixit: Obsecro te, de quo Prophéta dicit hoc? de se, an de álio áliquo? Apériens autem Philíppus os suum, et incípiens a Scriptúra ista, evangelizávit illi Jesum. Et dum irent per viam, venérunt ad quandam aquam: et ait eunúchus: Ecce aqua, quid próhibet me baptizári? Dixit autem Philíppus: Si credis ex toto corde, licet. Et respóndens, ait: Credo, Fílium Dei esse Jesum Christum. Et jussit stare currum: et descendérunt utérque in aquam, Philíppus et eunúchus, et baptizávit eum. Cum autem ascendíssent de aqua, Spíritus Dómini rápuit Philíppum, et ámplius non vidit eum eunúchus. Ibat autem per viam suam gaudens. Philíppus autem invéntus est in Azóto, et pertránsiens evangelizábat civitátibus cunctis - donec veníret Cæsaréam - nomen Dómini Jesu Christi.

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 John
John 20:11-18
In that time: Mary stood at the sepulchre without, weeping. Now as she was weeping, she stooped down, and looked into the sepulchre, And she saw two angels in white, sitting, one at the head, and one at the feet, where the body of Jesus had been laid. They say to her: Woman, why weepest thou? She saith to them: Because they have taken away my Lord; and I know not where they have laid him. When she had thus said, she turned herself back, and saw Jesus standing; and she knew not that it was Jesus. Jesus saith to her: Woman, why weepest thou? whom seekest thou? She, thinking it was the gardener, saith to him: Sir, if thou hast taken him hence, tell me where thou hast laid him, and I will take him away. Jesus saith to her: Mary. She turning, saith to him: Rabboni - which is to say, Master. - Jesus saith to her: Do not touch me, for I am not yet ascended to my Father. But go to my brethren, and say to them: I ascend to my Father and to your Father, to my God and your God. Mary Magdalen cometh, and telleth the disciples: I have seen the Lord, and these things he said to me.
Sequéntia ☩ sancti Evangélii secúndum Joánnem
Joannes 20:11-18
In illo témpore: María stabat ad monuméntum foris, plorans. Dum ergo fleret, inclinávit se et prospéxit in monuméntum: et vidit duos Angelos in albis, sedéntes, unum ad caput et unum ad pedes, ubi pósitum fúerat corpus Jesu. Dicunt ei illi: Múlier, quid ploras? Dicit eis: Quia tulérunt Dóminum meum: et néscio, ubi posuérunt eum. Hæc cum dixísset, convérsa est retrórsum, et vidit Jesum stantem: et non sciébat, quia Jesus est. Dicit ei Jesus: Múlier, quid ploras? quem quæris? Illa exístimans, quia hortulánus esset, dicit ei: Dómine, si tu sustulísti eum, dícito mihi, ubi posuísti eum: et ego eum tollam. Dicit ei Jesus: María. Convérsa illa, dicit ei: Rabbóni - quod dícitur Magíster. - Dicit ei Jesus: Noli me tángere, nondum enim ascéndi ad Patrem meum: vade autem ad fratres meos et dic eis: Ascéndo ad Patrem meum et Patrem vestrum, Deum meum et Deum vestrum. Venit María Magdaléne annúntians discípulis: Quia vidi Dóminum, et hæc dixit mihi.
Exod 13:5
In the day of your solemnity, said the Lord, I will bring you into a land that floweth with milk and honey, allelúja.

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:
1 Pet 2:9
But you are a chosen generation, a kingly priesthood, a holy nation, a purchased people: that you may declare his virtues, who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light: allelúja.
1 Pet 2:9
Pópulus acquisitiónis, annuntiáte virtútes ejus, allelúja: qui vos de ténebris vocávit in admirábile lumen suum, allelúja.
O Lord, hear our prayers; that the holy channels of our redemption may obtain us help in this our present life, and secure us eternal joys.
Through our Lord…
Exáudi, Dómine, preces nostras: ut redemptiónis nostræ sacrosáncta commércia, et vitæ nobis cónferant præséntis auxílium, et gáudia sempitérna concílient.
Per Dominum…
