Lesson from the book of Ezekiel
Ezek 1:10-14
And as for the likeness of their faces: there was the face of a man, and the face of a lion on the right side of all the four: and the face of an ox, on the left side of all the four: and the face of an eagle over all the four. And their faces, and their wings were stretched upward: two wings of every one were joined, and two covered their bodies: And every one of them went straight forward: whither the impulse of the spirit was to go, thither they went: and they turned not when they went. And as for the likeness of the living creatures, their appearance was like that of burning coals of fire, and like the appearance of lamps. This was the vision running to and fro in the midst of the living creatures, a bright fire, and lightning going forth from the fire. And the living creatures ran and returned like flashes of lightning.
Léctio Ezechiélis Prophétæ
Ezech 1:10-14
Similitúdo vultus quátuor animálium: fácies hóminis, et fácies leónis a dextris ipsórum quatuor: fácies autem bovis a sinístris ipsórum quátuor, et fácies áquilæ désuper ipsórum quátuor. Fácies eórum et pennæ eórum exténtæ désuper: duæ pennæ singulórum jungebántur et duæ tegébant córpora eórum: et unumquódque eórum coram fácie sua ambulábat: ubi erat ímpetus spíritus, illuc gradiebántur, nec revertebántur cum ambulárent. Et similitúdo animálium, aspéctus eórum quasi carbónum ignis ardéntium et quasi aspéctus lampadárum. Hæc erat visio discúrrens in médio animálium, splendor ignis, et de igne fulgur egrédiens. Et animália ibant et revertebántur in similitúdinem fúlguris coruscántis.
Ps 111:1-2
Happy the man who fears the Lord, who greatly delights in His commands.
℣. His posterity shall be mighty upon the earth; the upright generation shall be blessed. Alleluia, alleluia.
℣. The glorious choir of Apostles praises You, O Lord. Alleluia.
Ps 111:1-2
Beátus vir, qui timet Dóminum: in mandátis ejus cupit nimis.
℣. Potens in terra erit semen ejus: generátio rectórum benedicétur.
Allelúja, allelúja.
℣. Te gloriosus Apostolórum chorus laudat, Dómine. Allelúja.
Continuation ☩ of the Holy Gospel according to Matthew
Matt 9:9-13
At that time, Jesus saw a man named Matthew sitting in the tax-collector’s place, and said to him, Follow Me. And he arose and followed Him. And it came to pass as He was at table in the house, that, behold, many publicans and sinners came to the table with Jesus and His disciples. And the Pharisees seeing it, said to His disciples, Why does your Master eat with publicans and sinners? But Jesus heard it, and said, It is not the healthy who need a physician, but they who are sick. But go, and learn what this means: ‘I desire mercy, and not sacrifice.’ For I have come to call sinners, not the just.
Sequéntia ☩ sancti Evangélii secúndum Matthǽum
Matt 9:9-13
In illo témpore: Vidit Jesus hóminem sedéntem in telónio, Matthǽum nómine. Et
ait illi: Séquere me. Et surgens, secútus est eum. Et factum est, discumbénte
eo in domo, ecce, multi publicáni et peccatóres veniéntes discumbébant cum Jesu
et discípulis ejus. Et vidéntes pharisæi, dicébant discípulis ejus: Quare cum
publicánis et peccatóribus mandúcat Magíster vester? At Jesus áudiens, ait: Non est opus valéntibus médicus, sed male habéntibus. Eúntes autem díscite, quid est: Misericórdiam volo, et non sacrifícium. Non enim veni vocáre justos, sed peccatóres.
Ps 20:4-5
O Lord, You placed on his head a crown of pure gold; he asked life of You, and You gave it to him, alleluia.
Ps 20:4-5
Posuísti, Dómine, in cápite ejus corónam de lápide pretióso: vitam pétiit a te, et tribuísti ei, allelúja.
May the prayers of the blessed Apostle and Evangelist, Matthew, recommend to You the offering made by Your Church, which is taught by his glorious preaching.
Through our Lord…
Supplicatiónibus beáti Matthæi Apóstoli et Evangelístæ, quǽsumus, Dómine, Ecclésiæ tuæ commendétur oblátio: cujus magníficis prædicatiónibus erúditur.
Per Dominum…
of Apostles
It is truly meet and just, right and for our salvation, to entreat Thee humbly, O Lord, that Thou wouldst not desert Thy flock, O everlasting Shepherd, but, through Thy blessed Apostles, wouldst keep it under Thy constant protection; that it may be governed by those same rulers, whom as vicars of Thy work, Thou didst set over it to be its pastors. 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:
de Apostolis
Vere dignum et justum est, æquum et salutáre: Te, Dómine, supplíciter exoráre, ut gregem tuum, Pastor ætérne, non déseras: sed per beátos Apóstolos tuos contínua protectióne custódias. Ut iísdem rectóribus gubernétur, quos óperis tui vicários eídem contulísti præésse pastóres. Et ídeo cum Angelis et Archángelis, cum Thronis et Dominatiónibus cumque omni milítia cœléstis exércitus hymnum glóriæ tuæ cánimus, sine fine dicéntes:
Ps 20:6
Great is his glory in Your victory; majesty and splendor You conferred upon him, O Lord.
Ps 20:6
Magna est glória ejus in salutári tuo: glóriam et magnum deI córem ímpones super eum, Dómine.
Having received Your sacrament, O Lord, we implore You, that what we have celebrated in honor of St. Matthew, Your Apostle and Evangelist, may by his intercession, benefit us as a healing remedy.
Through our Lord…
Percéptis, Dómine, sacraméntis, beáto Matthæo Apóstolo tuo et Evangelísta interveniénte, deprecámur: ut, quæ pro ejus celebráta sunt glória, nobis profíciant ad medélam.
Per Dominum…
