LATIN

IntroitANTIPHON Exsurge, quare obdormis, Domine? exsurge, et ne repellas in finem. Quare faciem tuam avertis, oblivisceris tribulationem nostram? adhaesit in terra venter noster: exsurge, Domine, adjuva nos et libera nos.
VersicleDeus, auribus nostris audivimus:
ResponsePatres nostri annuntiaverunt nobis.
VersicleGloria Patri, et Filio, et Spiritui Sancto:
ResponseSicut erat in princípio et nunc et semper et in s?cula sæculórum.
ResponseAmen.
ANTIPHON (repeat) Exsurge, quare obdormis, Domine? exsurge, et ne repellas in finem. Quare faciem tuam avertis, oblivisceris tribulationem nostram? adhaesit in terra venter noster: exsurge, Domine, adjuva nos et libera nos. (Psalm 43: 23-26; Psalm 43: 2)
CollectDeus, qui conspicis, quia ex nulla nostra actione confidimus: concede propitius; ut contra adversa omnia, Doctoris gentium protectione muniamur. Per Dominum nostrum Jesum Christum, Qui Tecum vivit et regnat in unitate Spiritus Sancti, Deus, per omnia s?cula sæculórum.
ResponseAmen. (Psalm 43: 23-26; Psalm 43: 2)
LessonLectio Epistolae beati Pauli Apostoli ad Corinthios.
Fratres: Libenter suffertis insipientes: cum sitis ipsi sapientes. Sustinetis enim si quis vos in servitutem redigit, quis vos in servitutem redigit, si uis devorat, si quis accipit, si quis extollitur, si quis in faciem vos caedit. Secundum ignobiliatatem dico, quasi nos infirmi fuermus in hac parte. In quo quis audet (in insipientia dico) audio et ego. Hebraei sunt, et ego: Israeli sunt, et ego: Semen Abrahae sunt, et ego: Ministri Christi sunt (ut minus sapiens dico) plus ego: in laboribus plurimis, in carceribus abundantius, in plagis supra modum, in mortibus frequenter. A Judaeis quinquies quadragenas, una minus, accepi. Ter virgis caesus sum, semel lapidatus sum, ter naufragium feci, nocte et die in profundo maris fui: in itinerbus saepe periculis fluminum, periculis latorum, perciculis ex genere, periculis ex gentibus, periculis in civitate, periculis in solitudine, periculis in mari, periculis in falsis fratribus: in abore et aerumma, in vigiliis multis, in fame et siti, in jejuniis multis, in frigore et nuditate: praeter illa quae extrinsecus sunt, instantia mea quotidiana,, sollicitudo omnium Ecclesiarum. Quis infirmatur, et ego non infirmor? quis scandalizatur, et ego non uror? Si gloriari Oportet: quae infirmiatis meae sunt, gloriabor. Deus et Pater Domini nostri Jesu Christi, qui est benedictus in s?cula, scit quod non mentior. Damasci praepositus gentis. Aretae regi, custodiebatr civitatem Damascenorum, ut me comprehenderet: et per fenestram in sporta dimissus sum per murum, et sic effugi manus ejus. Si gloriari oporet (non expedit quidem), veniam autem ad visions, et revelations Domini. Scio hominem in Christo ante annos quatuordecim, sive in corpus nescio, Desu scit, raptum hujusmodi usque ad tertium caelum. Et scio hujusmodi hominem, sive in corpore, sive extra corpus nescio, Deus scit: quoniam raptus est in paradisum, et audivit arcane verba, quae non licet homini loqui. Pro hujusmodi gloriabor: pro me autem Nihil gloriabor, nisi in infirmitatibus meis. Na, et si voluero gloriari, non ero insipiens: veritatemm enim dicam: parco autem, ne quis me existimet supra id quod videt in me, aut aliquid audit ex me. Et ne magnitude, revelationem extollat me, datus est mihi simulus carnis meae, angelus satanae, qui me colaphizet.: Propter quod ter Dominum rogavi, ut discedderet a me: et dixit mihi: Sufficit tibi gratia mea: nam virtus in infirmatitate perficitur. Libenter igituor gloriabor in infirmantatibus meis, ut inhabiet in me virtus Christi.
Hæc fuit epistula.
ResponseDeo Gratias. (II Corinthians 11: 19-33; 12: 1-9)

In illo tempore: Cum turba plurima convenirent, et de civitatibus properarent ad Jesum, dixit per similtudinem: ‘Exiit, qui seminat, seminare, semen suum: et dum seminat, aliud cecidit secus viam, et conculcatum, est, et volucres caeli comederunt ilud. Et aliud cecidit supra petram: et natum aruit, quia non habebat humorem. Et aliud cecidit inter spinas, et simul exorate spinae credidit in terram bonam: et ortum fecit fructum centuplum.’ Haec dicens, clamabar: ‘Qui habet aures audiendi, audiat.’ Interrogabant autem eum discipuli ejus, quae esset haec parabola. Quibus ipse dixit: ‘Vobis datum est nosse mysterium regni Dei, ceteris autem in parabolis: ut videntes non videant, et audientes non intelligent. Est autem haec parabola: Semen est verbum Dei. Qui autem secus viam hi sunt qui audiunt: deinde venit diabolus, et tollit verbum de corde eorum, ne credentes salvi fiant. Nam qui supra petram. qui cum audierint, cum gaudio suscipiunt verbum: et hi radices non habent: qui ad tempus credunt, et in tempore atentationis recedunt. Qod autem in spinas cecidit: hi sunt, qui auderunt, et a solicitudinibus, et divitiis, et voluptatibus vitae Euntes, suffocantur, et non referent fructum. Quod autem in bonam terram: hi sunt, qui in corde bono et optimo audientes verbum retinent, et fructum afferent in patientia.’
Evangélium Dómini.
ResponseLaus Tibi, Christe. (Luke 8: 4-15)
OffertoryPerfice gressus meos in semitis tuis, ut non moveantur vestgia mea: inclina aurem tuam, et Exaudi verba mea: miriffca misericordias tuas, qui salvos facis sperantes in te, Domine. (Psalm 16: 5-7)
SecretOblatum tii, Domine, sacrificium vivificet nos semper, et muniat. Per Dominum nostrum Jesum Christum, Filius tuus Dominus noster, Qui Tecum vivit et regnat in unitate Spiritus Sancti, Deus, per omnia s?cula sæculórum.
ResponseAmen. (Psalm 16: 5-7)

IntroitANTIPHON Arise, why sleepest Thou, O Lord? arise, and cast us not off to the end. Why turnest Thou Thy face away, and forgettest our trouble? our belly hath cleaved to the earth: arise, O Lord, help us and deliver us.
VersicleWe have heard, O God, with our ears:
ResponseOur fathers have declared to us.
VersicleGlory be to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit:
ResponseAs it was in the beginning, is now and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.
ANTIPHON (repeat) Arise, why sleepest Thou, O Lord? arise, and cast us not off to the end. Why turnest Thou Thy face away, and forgettest our trouble? our belly hath cleaved to the earth: arise, O Lord, help us and deliver us. (Psalm 43: 23-26; Psalm 43: 2)
CollectO God, who seest that we put not our trust in anything that we do; mercifully grant that by the protection of the Doctor of the Gentiles we may be defended against all adversity. Through Jesus Christ our Lord, Who liveth and reigneth with Thee in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God world without end.
ResponseAmen. (Psalm 43: 23-26; Psalm 43: 2)
LessonToday’s lesson is from the Second Epistle of blessed Paul the Apostle to the Corinthians.
Brethren: you gladly suffer the foolish: whereas yourselves are wise. for you suffer if a man bring you into bondage, if a man devour you, if a man take from you, if a man be lifted up, if a man strike you on the face. I speak according to dishonor, as if we had been weak in this part. Wherein if any man dare (I speak foolishly), I dare also. They are Hebrews, so am I. They are Israelites, so am I. They are the seed of Abraham, so am I. They are the ministers of Christ (I speak as one less wise), I am more: in many ore labors, in prisons more frequently, in stripes above measure, in deaths often. Of the Jews five times did I receive forty stripes save one. Thrice I was beaten with rods, once I was stoned, thrice I suffered shipwreck, a night and a day I was in the depth of the sea: in journeying often, in perils of waters, in perils of robbers, in perils from my own nation, in perils from the Gentiles, in perils in the city, in perils in the wilderness, in perils in the sea, in perils from false brethren: in labor and painfulness, in much watching, in hunger and cold and nakedness;: besides those thing which are without, my daily instance, the solicitude for all the churches. Who is weak, and I am not weak? who is scandalized, and I am not on fire? If I must needs glory, I will glory of the things that concern my infirmity. the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who is blessed for ever, knoweth that I lie not. At Damascus the governor of the nation under Aretas the king guarded the city of the Damascenes, to apprehend me: and through a window in a basked was I let down by the wall, and so escaped his hands. If I must glory (it is not expedient indeed) but I will come to visions and revelations of the Lord. I know a man in Christ about fourteen years ago, whether in the body I know not, of out of the body I know not, God knoweth; such a one caught up to the third heaven. And I know such a man, whether in the body or out of the body I know not, God knoweth: that he was caught up unto paradise, and heard secret words which it is not granted to man to utter. for such an one I will glory: but for myself I will glory nothing but in my infirmities. for though I should have a mind to glory, I shall not be foolish: for I will say the truth: but I forbear, lest any man should think of me above that which he seeth in me, or anything he heareth from me. And lest the greatness of the revelations should exalt me, thee was given ne a sting of my flesh, an angel of satan, to buffet me. for which thing, thrice I besought the Lord that it might depart from me. And He said to me; My grace is sufficient for thee, for power is made perfect in infirmity. Gladly therefore will I glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may dwell in me.
Here ends today’s lesson.
ResponseThanks be to God. (II Corinthians 11: 19-33; 12: 1-9)
GradualVersicleLet the Gentiles know that God is Thy name:
ResponseThou alone are the most High over all the earth.

Cross The continuation of the holy Gospel according to Luke.
ResponseGlory CrossCrossCross to Thee, O Lord
At that time, when a very great multitude was gathered together and hastened out of the cities unto Jesus, He spoke by a similitude: ‘the sower went out to sow his seed: and as he sowed, some fell by the way side, and it was trodden down, and the fowls of the air devoured it. And other some fell upon a rock: and as soon as it was sprung up, it withered away, because it had no moisture. And other some fell among thorns, and the thorns growing up with it choked it. And other some fell upon good ground: and being sprung up yielded fruit a hundredfold.’ Saying these things, He cried out: ‘He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.’ And His disciples asked Him what this parable might be. To whom He said: ‘To you it is given to know the mystery of the kingdom of God, but to the rest in parables: that seeing they may not understand. Now the parable is this: the seed is the word of God. And they by the wayside are they that hear: then the devil cometh and taketh the word out of their heart, lest believing they should be saved. Now they upon the rock are they who, when they hear, receive the word with joy; and these have no roots: for they believe for a while, and in time of temptation they fall away. And that which fell among thorns are they who have heard and, going their way, are choked with the cares and riches and pleasures of this life, and yield no fruit. But that on the good ground are they who in a good and perfect heart, hearing the word, keep it, and bring forth fruit in patience.’
The Gospel of the Lord.
ResponsePraise be to Thee, O Christ. (Luke 8: 4-15)
OffertoryPerfect Thou my goings in Thy paths, that my footsteps be now moved: incline Thy ear, and hear my words: show forth Thy wonderful mercies, Thou who savest them that trust in Thee, O Lord. (Psalm 16: 5-7)
SecretMay the sacrifice offered to Thee, O Lord, ever quicken and protect us. Through our Lord Jesus Christ Thy Son. Who liveth and reigneth with Thee in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, world without end.
ResponseAmen. (Psalm 16: 5-7)
Preface
(Lent)
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: Who by this bodily fast, dost curb our vices, dost lift up our minds and bestow on us strength and re-wards; through Christ our Lord. Through whom the Angels praise Thy Majesty, the Do-minations worship it, the Powers stand in awe. the Heavens and the heavenly hosts together with the blessed Seraphim in triumphant chorus unite to celebrate it. Together with these we entreat Thee that Thou mayest bid our voices also to be admitted while we say with lowly praise... Holy, Holy, Holy...
Communio VerseI will go in to the altar of God, to God Who giveth joy to my youth. (Psalm 42: 4)
Post-Communion PrayerWe humbly beseech Thee, almighty God to grant that they whom Thou refreshest with Thy sacraments may serve Thee worthily by a life well pleasing unto Thee. Through our Lord Jesus Christ, Who livest and reignest, with God the Father, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God world without end.
ResponseAmen. (Psalm 42: 4)

REDDays of the Holy Spirit, the Apostles, and memorials of martyrs.
ADVENT PURPLEThis is blueish purple. Use during advent. If you cannot afford both purple hues, use whichever you have.
LENT PURPLEThis is red-purple. You may use lent purple at funerals, but that tradition is basically dead (so to speak).

GOLDAt a mammoth occasion (eg., ordination, Christmas, Easter, etc.), gold is fine.
