Ps 33:20-21
Many are the afflictions of the just; but out of them all will the Lord deliver them. The Lord keepeth all their bones, not one of them shall be broken.
Ps 33:2
I will bless the Lord at all times, his praise shall be always in my mouth.
Glory Be to the Father…
Many are the afflictions of the just; but out of them all will the Lord deliver them. The Lord keepeth all their bones, not one of them shall be broken.
Ps 33:20-21
Multæ tribulatiónes justórum, et de his ómnibus liberávit eos Dóminus: Dóminus custódit ómnia ossa eórum: unum ex his non conterétur.
Ps 33:2
Benedícam Dóminum in omni témpore: semper laus ejus in ore meo.
Glória Patri…
Multæ tribulatiónes justórum, et de his ómnibus liberávit eos Dóminus: Dóminus custódit ómnia ossa eórum: unum ex his non conterétur.
We beseech You, almighty God, that on this feast-day we may have the double joy of celebrating blessed John and Paul, true brothers who obtained eternal glory through one faith and one martyrdom.
Through our Lord…
Quǽsumus, omnípotens Deus: ut nos gemináta lætítia hodiérnæ festivitátis excípiat, quæ de beatórum Joánnis et Pauli glorificatióne procédit; quos eadem fides et pássio vere fecit esse germános.

Lesson from the book of Ecclesiasticus
Eccli 44:10-15
These were godly men whose virtues have not been forgotten; their wealth remains in their families, their posterity are a holy inheritance, and their seed has stood in the covenants. And their children for their sakes remain forever; their seed and their glory shall not be forsaken. All these are buried in peace, but their name lives on and on. At gatherings their wisdom is retold and the assembly sings their praises.
Léctio libri Sapiéntiæ
Eccli 44:10-15
Hi viri misericórdiæ sunt, quorum pietátes non defuérunt: cum semine eórum pérmanent bona, heréditas sancta nepótes eórum, et in testaméntis stetit semen eórum: et fílii eórum propter illos usque in ætérnum manent: semen eórum et glória eórum non derelinquétur. Córpora ipsórum in pace sepúlta sunt, et nomen eórum vivit in generatiónem et generatiónem. Sapiéntiam ipsórum narrent pópuli, et laudem eórum núntiet Ecclésia.
Ps 132:1-2
Behold, how good it is, and how pleasant, where brethren dwell as one! It is as when the precious ointment upon the head runs down over the beard, the beard of Aaron. Alleluia, alleluia.
℣. This is the true fraternal love, which conquers the wickedness of the world: holding fast to the glory of the heavenly kingdom, it has followed Christ. Alleluia.
Ps 132:1-2
Ecce, quam bonum et quam jucúndum, habitáre fratres in unum!
℣. Sicut unguéntum in cápite, quod descéndit in barbam, barbam Aaron. Allelúja, allelúja.
℣. Hæc est vera fratérnitas, quæ vicit mundi crímina: Christum secúta est, ínclita tenens regna cœléstia. Allelúja.
Continuation ☩ of the Holy Gospel according to Luke
Luke 12:1-8
At that time, Jesus said to His disciples, Beware of the leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy. But there is nothing concealed that will not be disclosed, and nothing hidden that will not be made known. For what you have said in darkness will be said in the light; and what you have whispered in the inner chambers will be preached on the housetops. But I say to you, My friends: Do not be afraid of those who kill the body, and after that have nothing more that they can do. But I will show you Whom you shall be afraid of; be afraid of Him Who, after He has killed, has power to cast into hell. Yes, I say to you, be afraid of Him. Are not five sparrows sold for two farthings? And yet not one of them is forgotten before God. Yes, the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Therefore do not be afraid, you are of more value than many sparrows. And I say to you, everyone who acknowledges Me before men, him will the Son of Man also acknowledge before the angels of God.
Sequéntia ☩ sancti Evangélii secúndum Lucam
Luc 12:1-8
In illo témpore: Dixit Jesus discípulis suis: Atténdite a ferménto pharisæórum, quod est hypócrisis. Nihil autem opértum est, quod non revelétur: neque abscónditum, quod non sciátur. ¶ Quóniam, quæ in ténebris dixístis, in lúmine dicéntur: et quod in aurem locúti estis in cubículis, prædicábitur in tectis. Dico autem vobis amícis meis: Ne terreámini ab his, qui occídunt corpus, et post hæc non habent ámplius quid fáciant. Osténdam autem vobis, quem timeátis: timéte eum, qui postquam occíderit, habet potestátem míttere in gehénnam. Ita dico vobis: hunc timéte. Nonne quinque pásseres véneunt dipóndio, et unus ex illis non est in oblivióne coram Deo? Sed et capílli cápitis vestri omnes numeráti sunt. Nolíte ergo timére: multis passéribus pluris estis vos. Dico autem vobis: Omnis, quicúmque conféssus fúerit me coram homínibus, et Fílius hóminis confitébitur illum coram Angelis Dei.
Ps 5:12-13
All who love Your name shall glory in You, for You, O Lord, bless the just man; O Lord, You surround us with the shield of your good will.
Ps 5:12-13
Gloriabúntur in te omnes, qui díligunt nomen tuum: quóniam tu, Dómine, benedíces justo: Dómine, ut scuto bonæ voluntátis tuæ coronásti nos.
O Lord, graciously accept, through the merits of Your holy Martyrs John and Paul, the sacrificial gifts dedicated to You, and grant they may prove to be for us a lasting help.
Through our Lord…
Hóstias tibi, Dómine, sanctórum Martyrum tuórum Joánnis et Pauli dicátas méritis, benígnus assúme: et ad perpétuum nobis tríbue proveníre subsídium.
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:
Wis 3:4-6
For if before men they be punished, God tried them; as gold in the furnace, He proved them, and as sacrificial offerings He took them to Himself.
Sap 3:4-6
Et si coram homínibus torménta passi sunt, Deus tentávit eos: tamquam aurum in fornáce probávit eos, et quasi holocáusta accépit eos.
We have partaken of the heavenly sacrament, O Lord, as we celebrate the feast of Your holy Martyrs John and Paul; grant, we beseech You, that what we do in time we may reap in joy in eternity.
Through our Lord…
Súmpsimus, Dómine, sanctórum Martyrum tuórum Joánnis et Pauli sollémnia celebrántes, sacraménta cœléstia: præsta, quǽsumus; ut, quod temporáliter gérimus, ætérnis gáudiis consequámur.
Per Dominum…
