Lesson from the book of Ecclesiasticus
Ecclus 15:1-6
He who fears God will do good; he who is practiced in the Law will come to wisdom. Like an honorable mother she will meet him, nourish him with the bread of life and understanding, and give him the water of learning to drink. She will be made strong in him, and he shall not be moved; she will hold him fast, and he shall not be put to shame. She will exalt him above his fellows; in the midst of the assembly she will open his mouth, and will fill him with the spirit of wisdom and understanding, and will clothe him with a robe of glory. The Lord our God will heap upon him a treasure of joy and gladness, and will cause him to inherit an everlasting name.
Lectio libri Sapiéntiæ
Eccli 15:1-6
Qui timet Deum, fáciet bona: et qui cóntinens est justítiæ, apprehéndet illam, et obviábit illi quasi mater honorificáta. Cibábit illum pane vitæ et intelléctus, et aqua sapiéntiæ salutáris potábit illum: et firmábitur in illo, et non flectétur: et continébit illum, et non confundétur: et exaltábit illum apud próximos suos, et in médio ecclésiæ apériet os ejus, et adimplébit illum spíritu sapiéntiæ et intelléctus, et stola glóriæ véstiet illum. Jucunditátem et exsultatiónem thesaurizábit super illum, et nómine ætérno hereditábit illum, Dóminus, Deus noster.
John 21:23, 19
This saying therefore went abroad among the brethren, that that disciple was not to die. But Jesus had not said, He is not to die.
℣. But rather, So I wish him to remain until I come. Follow Me. Alleluia, alleluia.
John 21:24
This is that disciple who bears witness concerning these things: and we know that his witness is true. Alleluia.
Joann 21:23; 21:19
Exiit sermo inter fratres, quod discípulus ille non móritur: et non dixit Jesus: Non móritur,
℣. Sed: Sic eum volo manére, donec véniam: tu me séquere.
Allelúja, allelúja.
Joann 21:24
℣. Hic est discípulus ille, qui testimónium pérhibet de his: et scimus, quia verum est testimónium ejus. Allelúja.
Continuation ☩ of the Holy Gospel according to John
John 21:19-24
At that time, Jesus said to Peter, Follow Me. Turning around, Peter saw following them the disciple whom Jesus loved, the one who, at the supper, had leaned back upon His breast and said, Lord, who is it that will betray You? Peter therefore, seeing him, said to Jesus, Lord, and what of this man? Jesus said to him, If I wish him to remain until I come, what is it to you? You, follow Me. This saying therefore went abroad among the brethren, that that disciple was not to die. But Jesus had not said to him, He is not to die; but rather, If I wish him to remain until I come, what is it to you? This is the disciple who bears witness concerning these things, and who has written these things, and we know that his witness is true.
Sequéntia ☩ sancti Evangélii secundum Joánnem
Joann 21:19-24
In illo témpore: Dixit Jesus Petro: Séquere me. Convérsus Petrus vidit illum discípulum, quem diligébat Jesus, sequéntem, qui et recúbuit in cena super pectus ejus, et dixit: Dómine, quis est qui tradet te ? Hunc ergo cum vidísset Petrus, dixit Jesu: Dómine, hic autem quid? Dicit ei Jesus: Sic eum volo manére, donec véniam, quid ad te? tu me séquere. Exiit ergo sermo iste inter fratres, quia discípulus ille non móritur. Et non dixit ei Jesus: Non móritur; sed: Sic eum volo manére, donec véniam: quid ad te? Hic est discípulus ille, qui testimónium pérhibet de his, et scripsit hæc: et scimus, quia verum est testimónium ejus.
Ps 91:13
The just shall flourish like the palm tree: he shall grow up like the cedar of Libanus. (Allelúja.)
Ps 91:13
Justus ut palma florébit: sicut cedrus, quæ in Líbano est, multiplicábitur. (Allelúja.)
Accept, O Lord, the gifts we bring You on the feast of him upon whose patronage we trust for our salvation.
Through our Lord…
Súscipe, Dómine, múnera, quæ in ejus tibi sollemnitáte deférimus, cujus nos confídimus patrocínio liberári.

For Octave of the Nativity
Make holy the sacrificial gifts we offer, O Lord, and by the new birth of Your only-begotten Son cleanse us from the stains of our sins.
Through the same Christ our Lord…

Nativity
It is truly meet and just, right and for our salvation, that we should at all times, and in all places, give thanks unto Thee, O holy Lord, Father almighty, everlasting God, for through the Mystery of the Word made flesh, the new light of Thy glory hath shone upon the eyes of our mind, so that while we acknowledge God in visible form, we may through Him be drawn to the love of things invisible. And therefore with Angels and Archangels, with Throne and Dominations, and with all the hosts of the heavenly army, we sing the hymn of Thy glory, evermore saying:
de Nativitate Domini
Vere dignum et justum est, æquum et salutáre, nos tibi semper et ubíque grátias ágere: Dómine sancte, Pater omnípotens, ætérne Deus: Quia per incarnáti Verbi mystérium nova mentis nostræ óculis lux tuæ claritátis infúlsit: ut, dum visibíliter Deum cognóscimus, per hunc in invisibílium amorem rapiámur. Et ídeo cum Angelis et Archángelis, cum Thronis et Dominatiónibus cumque omni milítia cæléstis exércitus hymnum glóriæ tuæ cánimus, sine fine dicéntes.
John 21:23
A saying went abroad among the brethren, that that disciple was not to die. But Jesus had not said, He is not to die; but rather, So I wish him to remain until I come.
Joann 21:23
Exiit sermo inter fratres, quod discípulus ille non móritur: et non dixit Jesus: Non móritur; sed: Sic eum volo manére, donec véniam.
Refreshed with heavenly food and drink, we humbly pray You, our God, that we also may be helped by his prayers in memory of whom we have partaken of these gifts.
Through our Lord…
Refécti cibo potúque cœlésti, Deus noster, te súpplices exorámus: ut, in cujus hæc commemoratióne percépimus, ejus muniámur et précibus.
Per Dominum…
For Octave of the Nativity
Grant, we beseech You, almighty God, that the Saviour of the world, born this day, Who is the author of our birth in godliness, may bestow on us immortal life.
Who livest and reignest with God the Father…
