Léctio libri Exodi. In diébus illis: Locútus est Dóminus ad Móysen, dicens: Descénde de monte: peccávit pópulus tuus, quem eduxísti de terra Ægýpti. Recessérunt cito de via, quam ostendísti eis: fecerúntque sibi vítulum conflátilem, et adoravérunt, atque immolántes ei hóstias, dixérunt: Isti sunt dii tui, Israël, qui te eduxérunt de terra Ægýpti. Rursúmque ait Dóminus ad Móysen: Cerno, quod pópulus iste duræ cervícis sit: dimítte me, ut irascátur furor meus contra eos, et déleam eos, faciámque te in gentem magnam. Móyses autem orábat Dóminum, Deum suum, dicens: Cur, Dómine, iráscitur furor tuus contra pópulum tuum, quem eduxísti de terra Ægýpti in fortitúdine magna et in manu robústa? Ne quæro dicant Ægýptii: Cállide edúxit eos, ut interfíceret in móntibus et deléret e terra: quiéscat ira tua, et esto placábilis super nequítia pópuli tui. Recordáre Abraham, Isaac et Israël, servórum tuórum, quibus jurásti per temetípsum, dicens: Multiplicábo semen vestrum sicut stellas cœli: et univérsam terram hanc, de qua locútus sum, dabo sémini vestro, et possidébitis eam semper. Placatúsque est Dóminus, ne fáceret malum, quod locútus fúerat advérsus pópulum suum.

Lesson from the book of Exodus In those days, the Lord said to Moses, Go down from the mountain to your people, whom you brought out of the land of Egypt, for they have become depraved. They have soon turned aside from the way I pointed out to them, making for themselves a molten calf and worshipping it, sacrificing to it and crying out, ‘This is your God, O Israel, Who brought you out of the land of Egypt!’ I see how stiff-necked this people is, continued the Lord to Moses. Let Me alone, then, that My wrath may blaze up against them to consume them. Then I will make of you a great nation. But Moses implored the Lord, his God, saying, Why, O Lord, should Your wrath blaze up against Your own people, whom You brought out of the land of Egypt with such great power and with so strong a hand? Why should the Egyptians say, ‘With evil intent He brought them out, that He might kill them in the mountains and exterminate them from the face of the earth’? Let Your blazing wrath die down; relent in punishing Your people. Remember Your servants Abraham, Isaac and Israel, and how You swore to them by Your own self, saying, ‘I will make your descendants as numerous as the stars in the sky; and all this land that I promised, I will give your descendants as their perpetual heritage.’ So the Lord relented in the punishment He had threatened to inflict on His people.

Deo grátias.

Thanks be to God.

Exsúrge, Dómine, fer opem nobis: et líbera nos propter nomen tuum. ℣. Deus, áuribus nostris audívimus: et patres nostri annuntiavérunt nobis opus, quod operátus es in diébus eórum et in diébus antíquis.

Arise, O Lord, help us! Redeem us for Your Name’s sake. V. O God, our ears have heard, our fathers have declared to us the deeds You did in their days, in days of old.

Munda cor meum ac lábia mea, omnípotens Deus, qui lábia Isaíæ Prophétæ cálculo mundásti igníto: ita me tua grata miseratióne dignáre mundáre, ut sanctum Evangélium tuum digne váleam nuntiáre.

Cleanse my heart and my lips, almighty God, who didst cleanse the lips of the prophet Isaiah with a burning coal. In Thy gracious mercy deign likewise to cleanse me, that I may worthily proclaim Thy holy Gospel.

Per Christum, Dóminum nostrum.

Through Christ our Lord.

Sequéntia ✠ sancti Evangélii secúndum Joánnem.

℟. Glória tibi, Dómine.

In illo témpore: Jam die festo mediánte, ascéndit Jesus in templum, et docébat. Et mirabántur Judǽi, dicéntes: Quómodo hic lítteras scit, cum non didícerit? Respóndit eis Jesus et dixit: Mea doctrína non est mea, sed ejus, qui misit me. Si quis volúerit voluntátem ejus fácere, cognóscet de doctrína, utrum ex Deo sit, an ego a meípso loquar. Qui a semetípso lóquitur, glóriam própriam quærit. Qui autem quærit glóriam ejus, qui misit eum, hic verax est, et injustítia in illo non est. Nonne Móyses dedit vobis legem: et nemo ex vobis facit legem? quid me quǽritis interfícere ? Respóndit turba, et dixit: Dæmónium habes: quis te quærit interfícere ? Respóndit Jesus et dixit eis: Unum opus feci, et omnes mirámini. Proptérea Móyses dedit vobis circumcisiónem -non quia ex Móyse est, sed ex pátribus: - et in sábbato circumcíditis hóminem. Si circumcisiónem áccipit homo in sábbato, ut non solvátur lex Móysi: mihi indignámini, quia totum hóminem sanum feci in sábbato? Nolíte judicáre secúndum fáciem, sed justum judícium judicáte. Dicébant ergo quidam ex Jerosólymis: Nonne hic est, quem quærunt interfícere ? Et ecce, palam lóquitur, et nihil ei dicunt. Numquid vere cognovérunt príncipes, quia hic est Christus? Sed hunc scimus, unde sit: Christus autem, cum vénerit, nemo scit, unde sit. Clamábat ergo Jesus in templo docens, et dicens: Et me scitis et, unde sim, scitis, et a meípso non veni, sed est verus, qui misit me, quem vos nescítis. Ego scio eum, quia ab ipso sum, et ipse me misit. Quærébant ergo eum apprehéndere: et nemo misit in illum manus, quia nondum vénerat hora ejus. De turba autem multi credidérunt in eum.

℟. Laus tibi, Christe.

A reading from the holy Gospel according to John.

℟. Glory to you, O Lord.

At that time, when the feast was already half over, Jesus went up into the temple and began to teach. And the Jews marveled, saying, How does this man come by learning, since He has not studied? Jesus answered them and said, My teaching is not My own, but His Who sent Me. If anyone desires to do His will, he will know of the teaching whether it is from God, or whether I speak on My own authority. He who speaks on his own authority seeks his own glory. But he who seeks the glory of the one who sent him is truthful, and there is no injustice in him. Did not Moses give you the Law, and none of you observes the Law? Why do you seek to put Me to death? The crowd answered and said, You have a devil. Who seeks to put You to death? Jesus answered and said to them, One work I did and you all wonder. For this reason Moses gave you the circumcision -- not that it is from Moses, but from the fathers -- and on a Sabbath you circumcise a man. If a man receives circumcision on a Sabbath, that the Law of Moses may not be broken, are you indignant with me because I made a whole man well on a Sabbath? Judge not by appearances but give just judgment. Some therefore of the people of Jerusalem were saying, Is not this the man they seek to kill? And behold, He speaks openly and they say nothing to Him. Can it be that the rulers have really come to know that this is the Christ? Yet we know where this man is from; but when the Christ comes, no one will know where He is from. Jesus therefore, while teaching in the temple, cried out and said, You both know Me, and know where I am from. Yet I have not come of Myself, but He is true Who has sent Me, whom you do not know. I know Him because I am from Him, and He sent Me. They wanted therefore to seize Him, but no one laid hands on Him because His hour had not yet come. Many of the people, however, believed in Him.

℟. Praise to you, O Christ.

℣. Dóminus vobíscum.

℣. The Lord be with you.

Come, O Sanctifier, almighty and eternal God, and bless this sacrifice prepared for Thy holy name.

Lavábo inter innocéntes manus meas: et circúmdabo altáre tuum, Dómine: Ut áudiam vocem laudis, et enárrem univérsa mirabília tua. Dómine, diléxi decórem domus tuæ et locum habitatiónis glóriæ tuæ. Ne perdas cum ímpiis, Deus, ánimam meam, et cum viris sánguinum vitam meam: In quorum mánibus iniquitátes sunt: déxtera eórum repléta est munéribus. Ego autem in innocéntia mea ingréssus sum: rédime me et miserére mei. Pes meus stetit in dirécto: in ecclésiis benedícam te, Dómine.

I will wash my hands among the innocent, and will go about Thine altar, O Lord, that I may hear the voice of praise and proclaim all Thy wondrous works. O Lord, I have loved the beauty of Thy house and the place where Thy glory dwelleth. Destroy not my soul with the ungodly, O God, nor my life with men of blood, in whose hands are iniquities, and whose right hand is filled with bribes. But I have walked in my innocence: redeem me and have mercy upon me. My foot hath stood on level ground: in the assemblies will I bless Thee, O Lord.

Glória Patri, et Fílio, et Spirítui Sancto. Sicut erat in princípio, et nunc, et semper: et in sǽcula sæculórum. Amen.

Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost. As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.

Súscipe, sancta Trínitas, hanc oblatiónem, quam tibi offérimus ob memóriam passiónis, resurrectiónis, et ascensiónis Jesu Christi, Dómini nostri: et in honórem beátæ Maríæ semper Vírginis, et beáti Joannis Baptistæ, et sanctórum Apostolórum Petri et Pauli, et istórum et ómnium Sanctórum: ut illis profíciat ad honórem, nobis autem ad salútem: et illi pro nobis intercédere dignéntur in cælis, quorum memóriam ágimus in terris.

Communicántes, et memóriam venerántes, in primis gloriósæ semper Vírginis Maríæ, Genetrícis Dei et Dómini nostri Jesu Christi: sed et beáti Joseph, ejúsdem Vírginis Sponsi, et beatórum Apostolórum ac Mártyrum tuórum, Petri et Pauli, Andréæ, Jacóbi, Joánnis, Thomæ, Jacóbi, Philíppi, Bartholomǽi, Matthǽi, Simónis et Thaddǽi: Lini, Cleti, Cleméntis, Xysti, Cornélii, Cypriáni, Lauréntii, Chrysógoni, Joánnis et Pauli, Cosmæ et Damiáni: et ómnium Sanctórum tuórum; quorum méritis precibúsque concédas, ut in ómnibus protectiónis tuæ muniámur auxílio.

Hanc ígitur oblatiónem servitútis nostræ, sed et cunctæ famíliæ tuæ, quǽsumus, Dómine, ut placátus accípias: diésque nostros in tua pace dispónas, atque ab ætérna damnatióne nos éripi, et in electórum tuórum júbeas grege numerári.

Quam oblatiónem tu, Deus, in ómnibus, quǽsumus, benedíctam, adscríptam, ratam, rationábilem, acceptabilémque fácere dignéris: ut nobis Corpus et Sanguis fiat dilectíssimi Fílii tui, Dómini nostri Jesu Christi.

Which oblation do Thou, O God, vouchsafe in all respects, to bless, approve, ratify, make worthy and acceptable; that it may be made for us the Body and Blood of Thy most beloved Son Jesus Christ our Lord.

Qui, prídie quam paterétur, accépit panem in sanctas ac venerábiles manus suas, et elevátis óculis in cælum ad te Deum, Patrem suum omnipoténtem, tibi grátias agens, benedíxit, fregit, dedítque discípulis suis, dicens: Accípite et manducáte ex hoc omnes: HOC EST ENIM CORPUS MEUM.

Who, the day before He suffered, took bread into His holy and venerable hands, and with His eyes lifted up towards heaven unto Thee, God, His almighty Father, giving thanks to Thee, He blessed it, broke it and gave it to His disciples saying: Take and eat ye all of this: FOR THIS IS MY BODY.

Símili modo, postquam cenátum est, accípiens et hunc præclárum Cálicem in sanctas ac venerábiles manus suas, item tibi grátias agens, benedíxit, dedítque discípulis suis, dicens: Accípite et bíbite ex eo omnes: HIC EST ENIM CALIX SÁNGUINIS MEI, NOVI ET ÆTÉRNI TESTAMÉNTI, MYSTÉRIUM FÍDEI, QUI PRO VOBIS ET PRO MULTIS EFFUNDÉTUR IN REMISSIÓNEM PECCATÓRUM.

In like manner, after He had supped, taking also this excellent chalice into His holy and venerable hands, He likewise, giving thanks to Thee, blessed it, and gave it to His disciples, saying: Take and drink ye all of this: FOR THIS IS THE CHALICE OF MY BLOOD OF THE NEW AND ETERNAL TESTAMENT, THE MYSTERY OF FAITH, WHICH SHALL BE SHED FOR YOU AND FOR MANY UNTO THE REMISSION OF SINS.

Hæc quotiescúmque fecéritis, in mei memóriam faciétis.

As often as ye do these things, ye shall do them in remembrance of Me.

Unde et mémores, Dómine, nos servi tui, sed et plebs tua sancta, ejúsdem Christi Fílii tui, Dómini nostri, tam beátæ passiónis, nec non et ab ínferis resurrectiónis, sed et in cælos gloriósæ ascensiónis: offérimus præcláræ majestáti tuæ de tuis donis ac datis, Hóstiam † puram, Hóstiam † sanctam, Hóstiam † immaculátam, Panem † sanctum vitæ ætérnæ, et Cálicem † salútis perpétuæ.

Wherefore, O Lord, we Thy servants, and also Thy holy people, remembering the blessed passion of the same Christ Thy Son our Lord, His resurrection from the dead and His glorious ascension into heaven, offer unto Thy most excellent majesty, from Thine own gifts and bounty, a pure † victim, a holy † victim, a spotless † victim, the holy † bread of eternal life and the chalice † of everlasting salvation.

Supra quæ propítio ac seréno vultu respícere dignéris: et accépta habére, sicúti accépta habére dignátus es múnera púeri tui justi Abel, et sacrifícium Patriárchæ nostri Abrahæ: et quod tibi óbtulit summus sacérdos tuus Melchísedech, sanctum sacrifícium, immaculátam hóstiam.

Deign to look upon these offerings with a gracious and kindly countenance, and to accept them, as Thou didst deign to accept the gifts of Thy just servant Abel, the sacrifice of our patriarch Abraham, and that which Thy high priest Melchizedek offered unto Thee, a holy sacrifice, a spotless victim.

Súpplices te rogámus, omnípotens Deus: jube hæc perférri per manus sancti Angeli tui in sublíme altáre tuum, in conspéctu divínæ majestátis tuæ: ut, quotquot ex hac altáris participatióne sacrosánctum Fílii tui Corpus, et Sánguinem sumpsérimus, omni benedictióne cælésti et grátia repleámur.

Humbly we beseech Thee, almighty God: command that these offerings be borne by the hands of Thy holy Angel to Thine altar on high, in the presence of Thy divine majesty, so that all of us who, by partaking of this altar, receive the most sacred Body and Blood of Thy Son may be filled with every heavenly blessing and grace.

Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be Thy Name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation.

In princípio erat Verbum, et Verbum erat apud Deum, et Deus erat Verbum. Hoc erat in princípio apud Deum.

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God.

Ómnia per ipsum facta sunt: et sine ipso factum est nihil, quod factum est. In ipso vita erat, et vita erat lux hóminum: et lux in ténebris lucet, et ténebræ eam non comprehendérunt.

All things were made by Him: and without Him was made nothing that was made. In Him was life, and the life was the light of men: and the light shineth in darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it.

Fuit homo missus a Deo, cui nomen erat Joánnes. Hic venit in testimónium, ut testimónium perhibéret de lúmine, ut omnes créderent per illum. Non erat ille lux, sed ut testimónium perhibéret de lúmine.

There was a man sent from God, whose name was John. This man came for a witness, to give testimony of the light, that all men might believe through him. He was not the light, but was to give testimony of the light.

Erat lux vera, quæ illúminat omnem hóminem veniéntem in hunc mundum. In mundo erat, et mundus per ipsum factus est, et mundus eum non cognóvit. In própria venit, et sui eum non recepérunt.

That was the true light, which enlighteneth every man that cometh into this world. He was in the world, and the world was made by Him, and the world knew Him not. He came unto His own, and His own received Him not.

Quotquot autem recepérunt eum, dedit eis potestátem fílios Dei fíeri, his, qui credunt in nómine ejus: qui non ex sanguínibus, neque ex voluntáte carnis, neque ex voluntáte viri, sed ex Deo nati sunt.

But as many as received Him, He gave them power to be made the sons of God, to them that believe in His Name: who are born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.

ET VERBUM CARO FACTUM EST, et habitávit in nobis: et vídimus glóriam ejus, glóriam quasi Unigéniti a Patre, plenum grátiæ et veritátis. ℟. Deo grátias.

AND THE WORD WAS MADE FLESH, and dwelt among us: and we saw His glory, the glory as it were of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth. ℟. Thanks be to God.
