O God, Who graciously made blessed Peter, Your Confessor, glorious by the gift of remarkable penance and sublime contemplation, grant, we beseech You, that, by the merit of his prayers, we may the more easily understand the things of heaven by curbing our passions.

Lesson from the letter of St. Paul the Apostle to the Philippians
Phil 3:7-12
Brethren: The things that were gain to me, these, for the sake of Christ, I have counted loss. Nay more, I count everything loss because of the excelling knowledge of Jesus Christ, my Lord. For His sake I have suffered the loss of all things, and I count them as dung that I may gain Christ and be found in Him, not having a justice of my own, which is from the Law, but that which is from faith in Christ, the justice from God based upon faith; so that I may know Him and the power of His Resurrection and the fellowship of His sufferings: become like to Him in death, in the hope that somehow I may attain to the resurrection from the dead. Not that I have already obtained this, or already have been made perfect, but I press on hoping that I may lay hold of that for which Christ Jesus has laid hold of me.
Léctio Epístolæ beáti Pauli Apóstoli ad Philippénses
Philipp 3:7-12
Fratres: Quæ mihi fuérunt lucra, hæc arbitrátus sum propter Christum defriménta. Verúmtamen exístimo ómnia detriméntum esse propter eminéntem sciéntiam Jesu Christi, Dómini mei: propter quem ómnia detriméntum feci et árbitror ut stércora, ut Christum lucrifáciam et invéniar in illo, non habens meam justítiam, quæ ex lege est, sed illam, quæ ex fide est Christi Jesu: quæ ex Deo est justítia in fide, ad cognoscéndum illum, et virtútem resurrectiónis ejus, et societátem passiónum illíus: configurátus morti ejus: si quo modo occúrram ad resurrectiónem, quæ est ex mórtuis: non quod jam accéperim aut jam perféctus sim: sequor autem, si quo modo comprehéndam, in quo et comprehénsus sum a Christo Jesu.
Ps 36:30-31
The mouth of the just tells of wisdom, and his tongue utters what is right.
℣. The law of his God is in his heart, and his steps do not falter. Alleluia, alleluia.
Ps 111:1
Happy the man who fears the Lord, who greatly delights in His commands. Alleluia.
Ps 36:30-31
Os justi meditábitur sapiéntiam, et lingua ejus loquétur judícium.
℣. Lex Dei ejus in corde ipsíus: et non supplantabúntur gressus ejus. Allelúja, allelúja.
Ps 111:1
Beátus vir, qui timet Dóminum: in mandátis ejus cupit nimis. Allelúja.
Continuation ☩ of the Holy Gospel according to Luke
Luke 12:32-34
At that time, Jesus said to His disciples, Do not be afraid, little flock, for it has pleased your Father to give you the kingdom. Sell what you have and give alms. Make for yourselves purses that do not grow old, a treasure unfailing in heaven, where neither thief draws near nor moth destroys. For where your treasure is, there also will your heart be.
Sequéntia ☩ sancti Evangélii secúndum Lucam
Luc 12:32-34
In illo témpore: Dixit Jesus discípulis suis: Nolíte timére, pusíllus grex, quia complácuit Patri vestro dare vobis regnum. Véndite quæ possidétis, et date eleemósynam. Fácite vobis sácculos, qui non veteráscunt, thesáurum non deficiéntem in cœlis: quo fur non apprópiat, neque tínea corrúmpit. Ubi enim thesáurus vester est, ibi et cor vestrum erit.
Ps 20:2-3
O Lord, in Your strength the just man is glad; in Your victory how greatly he rejoices! You have granted him his heart’s desire. (Alleluia.)
Ps 20:2-3
In virtúte tua, Dómine, lætábitur justus, et super salutáre tuum exsultábit veheménter: desidérium ánimæ ejus tribuísti ei. (Allelúja.)
Grant us, we beseech You, almighty God, that the offering of our lowliness may be pleasing to You in honor of Your Saints and may purify us in both body and mind.
Through our Lord…
Præsta nobis, quǽsumus, omnípotens Deus: ut nostræ humilitátis oblátio et pro tuórum tibi grata sit honóre Sanctórum, et nos córpore páriter et mente puríficet.
Per Dominum…
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:
Matt 19:28-29
Amen I say to you that you, who have left all things and followed Me, shall receive a hundredfold, and shall possess life everlasting. (Alleluia.)
Matt 19:28-29
Amen, dico vobis: quod vos, qui reliquístis ómnia et secúti estis me, céntuplum accipiétis, et vitam ætérnam possidébitis. (Allelúja.)
We pray You, almighty God, that we who have received heavenly nourishment may thereby, through the intercession of blessed Petro, Your Confessor, be sustained against all harm and danger.
Through our Lord…
Quǽsumus, omnípotens Deus: ut, qui cœléstia aliménta percépimus, intercedénte beáto Petro Confessóre tuo, per hæc contra ómnia advérsa muniámur.
Per Dominum…
