Ss. Viti, Modesti atque Crescentiæ Martyrum

Multæ tribulatiónes justórum, et de his ómnibus liberávit eos Dóminus: Dóminus custódit ómnia ossa eórum: unum ex his non conterétur. Benedícam Dóminum in omni témpore: semper laus ejus in ore meo. Multæ tribulatiónes justórum, et de his ómnibus liberávit eos Dóminus: Dóminus custódit ómnia ossa eórum: unum ex his non conterétur.

Many are the afflictions of the just; but out of them all will the Lord deliver them. The Lord keepeth all their bones, not one of them shall be broken. I will bless the Lord at all times, his praise shall be always in my mouth. Many are the afflictions of the just; but out of them all will the Lord deliver them. The Lord keepeth all their bones, not one of them shall be broken.

Da Ecclésiæ tuæ, quǽsumus, Dómine, sanctis Martýribus tuis Vito, Modésto atque Crescéntia intercedéntibus, supérbe non sápere, sed tibi plácita humilitáte profícere: ut, prava despíciens, quæcúmque recta sunt, libera exérceat caritáte.

Grant O Lord, we pray, that through the intercession of thy Holy Martyrs Vitus, Modestus and Crescentia, thy Church be not high-minded, but grow in that humility which is pleasing to thee, so that despising evil, she may practice whatever is good with unbounded charity

Léctio libri Sapiéntiæ Justorum ánimæ in manu Dei sunt, et non tanget illos torméntum mortis. Visi sunt oculis insipiéntium mori: et æstimála est afflíctio exitus illórum: et quod a nobis est iter, extermínium: illi autem sunt in pace. Et si coram homínibus torménta passi sunt, spes illórum immortalitáte plena est. In paucis vexáti, in multis bene disponéntur: quóniam Deus tentávit eos, et invenit illos dignos se. Tamquam aurum in fornáce probávit illos, et quasi holocáusti hóstiam accépit illos, et in témpore erit respéctus illorum. Fulgébunt justi, et tamquam scintíllæ in arundinéto discúrrent. Judicábunt natiónes, et dominabúntur pópulis, et regnábit Dóminus illórum in perpétuum.

Lesson from the book of Wisdom But the souls of the just are in the hand of God, and the torment of death shall not touch them. In the sight of the unwise they seemed to die: and their departure was taken for misery: And their going away from us, for utter destruction: but they are in peace. And though in the sight of men they suffered torments, their hope is full of immortality. Afflicted in few things, in many they shall be well rewarded: because God hath tried them, and found them worthy of himself. As gold in the furnace he hath proved them, and as a victim of a holocaust he hath received them, and in time there shall be respect had to them. The just shall shine, and shall run to and fro like sparks among the reeds. They shall judge nations, and rule over people, and their Lord shall reign for ever.

Exsultábunt Sancti in glória: lætabúntur in cubílibus suis. ℣. Cantáte Dómino cánticum novum: laus ejus in ecclésia sanctórum. Allelúja, allelúja. Sancti tui, Dómine, benedícent te: glóriam regni tui dicent. Allelúja.

The saints shall rejoice in glory: they shall be joyful in their beds. V. Sing ye to the Lord a new canticle: let his praise be in the church of the saints. Let thy saints bless thee. They shall speak of the glory of thy kingdom: and shall tell of thy power: Allelúja.

Sequéntia † sancti Evangélii secúndum Lucam In illo témpore: Dixit Jesus discípulis suis: Qui vos audit, me audit: et qui vos spernit, me spernit. Qui autem me spernit, spernit eum, qui misit me. Revérsi sunt autem septuagínta duo cum gáudio, dicéntes: Dómine, étiam dæmónia subjiciúntur nobis in nómine tuo. Et ait illis: Vidébam sátanam sicut fulgur de cœlo cadéntem. Ecce, dedi vobis potestátem calcandi supra serpéntes et scorpiónes, et super omnem virtútem inimíci: et nihil vobis nocébit. Verúmtamen in hoc nolíte gaudére, quia spíritus vobis subjiciúntur: gaudéte autem, quod nómina vestra scripta sunt in cœlis.

Continuation + of the Holy Gospel according to Luke He that heareth you, heareth me; and he that despiseth you, despiseth me; and he that despiseth me, despiseth him that sent me. And the seventy-two returned with joy, saying: Lord, the devils also are subject to us in thy name. And he said to them: I saw Satan like lightening falling from heaven. Behold, I have given you power to tread upon serpents and scorpions, and upon all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall hurt you. But yet rejoice not in this, that spirits are subject unto you; but rejoice in this, that your names are written in heaven.

Mirábilis Deus in Sanctis suis: Deus Israël, ipse dabit virtútem et fortitúdinem plebi suæ: benedíctus Deus, allelúja. (sed post Septuagesimam dicitur) Deus.

God is wonderful in his saints: the God of Israel is he who will give power and strength to his people. Blessed be God.

Sicut glóriam divínæ poténtiæ múnera pro Sanctis obláta testántur: sic nobis efféctum, Dómine, tuæ salvatiónis impéndant.

As the gifts, we offer in honor of thy Saints, O Lord, bear witness to the glory of thy divine power; so may they win for us the benefits of thy salvation.

Justórum ánimæ in manu Dei sunt, et non tanget illos torméntum malítiæ: visi sunt óculis insipiéntium mori: illi autem sunt in pace.

But the souls of the just are in the hand of God, and the torment of death shall not touch them. In the sight of the unwise they seemed to die: but they are in peace.

Repléti, Dómine, benedictióne sollémni: quǽsumus; ut, per intercessiónem sanctórum Mártyrum tuórum Viti, Modésti et Crescéntiæ, medicína sacraménti et corpóribus nostris prosit et méntibus.

We, who have been filled with thy solemn blessing, ask, O Lord, that, through the intercession of thy holy Martyrs Vitus, Modestus and Crescentia, this healing sacrament may benefit both our bodies and our souls.
