Common of a Martyr – Second Mass

Lætábitur justus in Dómino, et sperábit in eo: et laudabúntur omnes recti corde.

Exáudi, Deus, oratiónem meam cum déprecor: a timóre inimíci éripe ánimam meam.

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 Spirit. As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. ℟. Amen.

Lætábitur justus in Dómino, et sperábit in eo: et laudabúntur omnes recti corde.

Præsta, quǽsumus, omnípotens Deus: ut, intercedénte beáto N. Mártyre tuo, et a cunctis adversitátibus liberémur in córpore, et a pravis cogitatiónibus mundémur in mente.

Per Dóminum nostrum Jesum Christum, Fílium tuum: qui tecum vivit et regnat in unitáte Spíritus Sancti Deus, per ómnia sǽcula sæculórum.

Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, God, for ever and ever.

Amen.

Amen.

Léctio Epístolæ beáti Pauli Apóstoli ad Timótheum

Caríssime: Memor esto, Dóminum Jesum Christum resurrexísse a mórtuis ex sémine David, secúndum Evangélium meum, in quo labóro usque ad víncula, quasi male óperans: sed verbum Dei non est alligátum. Ideo ómnia sustíneo propter eléctos, ut et ipsi salútem consequántur, quæ est in Christo Jesu, cum glória coelésti. Tu autem assecútus es meam doctrínam, institutiónem, propósitum, fidem, longanimitátem, dilectiónem, patiéntiam, persecutiónes, passiónes: quália mihi facta sunt Antiochíæ, Icónii et Lystris: quales persecutiónes sustínui, et ex ómnibus erípuit me Dóminus. Et omnes, qui pie volunt vívere in Christo Jesu, persecutiónem patiéntur.

A reading from the Epistle of Saint Paul the Apostle to Timothy Beloved: Remember that Jesus Christ, descended from David, has risen from the dead, according to the Gospel I preach. For this I suffer, even to the point of being chained like a criminal. But the word of God is not chained. Therefore I endure everything for the sake of the elect, so that they too may obtain the salvation that is in Christ Jesus, with heavenly glory. You, however, have followed my teaching, my way of life, my purpose, faith, patience, love and endurance, my persecutions and sufferings: all that happened to me at Antioch, Iconium and Lystra, and the persecutions I endured. Yet the Lord rescued me from them all. Indeed, all who wish to live a godly life in Christ Jesus will suffer persecution.

Iustus cum ceciderit, non collidetur: quia Dominus supponit manum suam. ℣. Tota die miseretur, et commodat: et semen eius in benedictione erit.

Alleluia, alleluia. ℣. Qui sequitur me, non ambulat in tenebris: sed habebit lumen vitæ æternæ. Alleluia.

Allelúja, allelúja.

Confitebúntur cœli mirabília tua, Dómine: étenim veritátem tuam in ecclésia sanctórum. Allelúja.

Posuísti, Dómine, super caput ejus corónam de lápide pretióso. Allelúja.

Beátus vir, qui timet Dóminum: in mandátis ejus cupit nimis.

℣. Potens in terra erit semen ejus: generátio rectórum benedicétur.

℣. Glória et divítiæ in domo ejus: et justítia ejus manet in sǽculum sǽculi.

Sequéntia † sancti Evangélii secúndum Matthǽum.

Continuation of the holy Gospel according to Matthew.

In illo témpore: Dixit Jesus discípulis suis: Nihil est opértum, quod non revelábitur; et occúltum, quod non sciétur. Quod dico vobis in ténebris, dícite in lúmine: et quod in aure audítis, prædicáte super tecta. Et nolíte timére eos, qui occídunt corpus, ánimam autem non possunt occídere; sed pótius timéte eum, qui potest et ánimam et corpus pérdere in gehénnam. Nonne duo pásseres asse véneunt: et unus ex illis non cadet super terram sine Patre vestro? Vestri autem capílli cápitis omnes numeráti sunt. Nolíte ergo timére: multis passéribus melióres estis vos. Omnis ergo, qui confitébitur me coram homínibus, confitébor et ego eum coram Patre meo, qui in coelis est.

At that time Jesus said to his disciples: Nothing is covered up that will not be revealed, and nothing hidden that will not be known. What I tell you in darkness, speak in the light, and what you hear whispered in your ear, proclaim from the rooftops. Do not fear those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. Rather, fear him who can destroy both soul and body in hell. Are not two sparrows sold for a small coin? Yet not one of them falls to the ground without your Father. Even the hairs of your head have all been counted. Therefore do not be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows. Everyone who acknowledges me before others, I too will acknowledge before my Father in heaven.

Posuísti, Dómine, in cápite ejus corónam de lápide pretióso: vitam pétiit a te, et tribuísti ei, allelúja.

O Lord, You placed on his head a crown of pure gold; he asked life of You, and You gave it to him, alleluia.

Accépta sit in conspéctu tuo, Dómine, nostra devótio: et ejus nobis fiat supplicatióne salutáris, pro cujus sollemnitáte defértur.

Per Dóminum nostrum Jesum Christum, Fílium tuum: qui tecum vivit et regnat in unitáte Spíritus Sancti Deus, per ómnia sǽcula sæculórum.

Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, God, for ever and ever.

Amen.

Amen.

Qui mihi mínistrat, me sequátur: et ubi sum ego, illic et miníster meus erit. (Allelúja.)

Whoever serves me must follow me, and where I am, there my servant will be also. (Alleluia.)

Refécti participatióne múneris sacri, quǽsumus, Dómine, Deus noster: ut, cujus exséquimur cultum, intercedénte beáto N. Mártyre tuo, sentiámus efféctum.

Per Dóminum nostrum Jesum Christum, Fílium tuum: qui tecum vivit et regnat in unitáte Spíritus Sancti Deus, per ómnia sǽcula sæculórum.

Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, God, for ever and ever.

Amen.

Amen.
