Léctio libri Deuteronómii
Deut 26:12-19
In diébus illis: Locútus est Móyses ad pópulum, dicens: Quando compléveris décimam cunctárum frugum tuárum, loquéris in conspéctu Dómini, Dei tui: Abstuli, quod sanctificátum est de domo mea, et dedi illud levítæ et ádvenæ et pupíllo ac víduæ, sicut iussísti mihi: non præterívi mandáta tua, nec sum oblítus impérii tui. Obœdívi voci Dómini, Dei mei, et feci ómnia, sicut præcepísti mihi. Réspice de sanctuário tuo et de excélso cœlórum habitáculo, et benedic pópulo tuo Israël, et terræ, quam dedísti nobis, sicut iurásti pátribus nostris, terræ lacte et melle manánti. Hódie Dóminus, Deus tuus, præcépit tibi, ut fácias mandáta hæc atque iudícia: et custódias et ímpleas ex toto corde tuo et ex tota ánima tua. Dóminum elegísti hódie, ut sit tibi Deus, et ámbules in viis eius, et custódias cæremónias illíus et mandáta atque iudícia, et obœ́dias eius império. Et Dóminus elégit te hódie, ut sis ei pópulus peculiáris, sicut locútus est tibi, et custódias ómnia præcépta illíus: et fáciat te excelsiórem cunctis géntibus, quas creávit in laudem et nomen et glóriam suam: ut sis pópulus sanctus Dómini, Dei tui, sicut locútus est.

Lesson
Lesson from the book of Deuteronomy
Deut. 26:12-19
In those days, Moses spoke to the people, saying, When you have finished setting aside all the tithes of your produce, you shall declare before the Lord, your God, ‘I have purged my house of the sacred portion and I have given it to the Levite, the alien, the orphan and the widow, just as You have commanded me. In this I have not broken or forgotten any of Your commandments. I have hearkened to the voice of the Lord, my God, doing just as You have commanded me. Look down, then, from heaven, Your holy abode, and bless Your people Israel and the soil You have given us in the land flowing with milk and honey which You promised on oath to our fathers.’ This day the Lord, your God, commands you to observe these statutes and decrees. Be careful, then, to observe them with all your heart and with all your soul. Today you are making this agreement with the Lord: He is to be your God and you are to walk in His ways and observe His statues, commandments and decrees, and to hearken to His voice. And today the Lord is making this agreement with you: you are to be a people peculiarly His own, as He promised you; and provided you keep all His commandments, He will then raise you high in praise and renown and glory above all other nations He has made, and you will be a people sacred to the Lord, your God, as He promised.
℟. Thanks be to God.
Gradual
Ps 78:9-10
Pardon our sins, O Lord; why should the nations say, Where is their God?

℟. And with thy spirit.
Let us pray.
Look upon us, O God our protector, so that we who are heavy laden with the burden of our sins, having received Your mercy, may serve You with untroubled minds.
Through Jesus Christ, thy Son our Lord, Who liveth and reigneth with thee, in the unity of the Holy Ghost, God, world without end.
℟. Amen.
Léctio Epístolæ beáti Pauli Apóstoli ad Thessalonicénses
1 Thess 5:14-23
Fratres: Rogámus vos, corrípite inquiétos, consolámini pusillánimes, suscípite infirmos, patiéntes estóte ad omnes. Vidéte, ne quis malum pro malo alícui reddat: sed semper quod bonum est sectámini in ínvicem, et in omnes. Semper gaudéte. Sine intermissióne oráte. In ómnibus grátias ágite: hæc est enim volúntas Dei in Christo Iesu in ómnibus vobis. Spíritum nolíte exstínguere. Prophetías nolíte spérnere. Omnia autem probáte: quod bonum est tenéte. Ab omni spécie mala abstinéte vos. Ipse autem Deus pacis sanctíficet vos per ómnia: ut ínteger spíritus vester, et ánima, et corpus sine queréla, in advéntu Dómini nostri Iesu Christi servétur.
℟. Deo grátias.
Lesson from the first Letter of St. Paul to the Thessalonians
1 Thess. 5:14-23
Brethren: We exhort you, reprove the irregular, comfort the fainthearted, support the weak, be patient toward all men. See that no one renders evil for evil to any man; but always strive after good toward one another and toward all men. Rejoice always. Pray without ceasing. In all things give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus regarding you all. Do not extinguish the Spirit. Do not despise prophecies. But test all things; hold fast that which is good. Keep yourselves from every kind of evil. And may the God of peace Himself sanctify you completely, and may your spirit and soul and body be preserved sound, blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.
℟. Thanks be to God.
Ps 116:1-2
Laudáte Dóminum, omnes gentes: et collaudáte eum, omnes pópuli.

Ps 116:1-2
Praise the Lord, all you nations, glorify Him, all you peoples!
℣. For steadfast is His kindness toward us, and the fidelity of the Lord endures forever.
Sequéntia + sancti Evangélii secúndum Matthǽum
℟. Glória tibi, Dómine.
Matt 17:1-9
In illo témpore: Assúmpsit Iesus Petrum, et Iacóbum, et Ioánnem fratrem eius, et duxit illos in montem excélsum seórsum: et transfigurátus est ante eos. Et resplénduit fácies eius sicut sol: vestiménta autem eius facta sunt alba sicut nix. Et ecce, apparuérunt illis Móyses et Elías cum eo loquéntes. Respóndens autem Petrus, dixit ad Iesum: Dómine, bonum est nos hic esse: si vis, faciámus hic tria tabernácula, tibi unum, Móysi unum et Elíæ unum. Adhuc eo loquénte, ecce, nubes lúcida obumbrávit eos. Et ecce vox de nube, dicens: Hic est Fílius meus diléctus, in quo mihi bene complácui: ipsum audíte. Et audiéntes discípuli, cecidérunt in fáciem suam, et timuérunt valde. Et accéssit Iesus, et tétigit eos, dixítque eis: Súrgite, et nolíte timére. Levántes autem óculos suos, néminem vidérunt nisi solum Iesum. Et descendéntibus illis de monte, præcépit eis Iesus, dicens: Némini dixéritis visiónem, donec Fílius hóminis a mórtuis resúrgat.
℟. Laus tibi, Christe.
S. Per Evangélica dicta, deleántur nostra delícta.
Continuation of the Holy Gospel according to Matthew.
℟. Glory be to Thee, O Lord.
Matt 17:1-9
At that time, Jesus took Peter, James and his brother John, and led them up a high mountain by themselves, and was transfigured before them. And His face shone as the sun, and His garments became white as snow. And behold, there appeared to them Moses and Elias talking together with Him. Then Peter addressed Jesus, saying, Lord, it is good for us to be here. If You will, let us set up three tents here, one for You, one for Moses, and one for Elias. As he was still speaking, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them, and behold, a voice out of the cloud said, This is My beloved Son, in Whom I am well pleased; hear Him. And on hearing it the disciples fell on their faces and were exceedingly afraid. And Jesus came near and touched them, and said to them, Arise, and do not be afraid. But lifting up their eyes, they saw no one but Jesus only. And as they were coming down from the mountain, Jesus cautioned them, saying, Tell the vision to no one, till the Son of Man has risen from the dead.
℟. Praise be to Thee, O Christ.
S. By the words of the Gospel may our sins be blotted out.
Ps 87:2-3
Dómine, Deus salútis meæ, in die clamávi et nocte coram te: intret orátio mea in conspéctu tuo, Dómine.
Ps 87:2-3
O Lord, the God of my salvation, by day I cry out, at night I clamor in Your presence. Let my prayer come before You, O Lord.
Præséntibus sacrifíciis, quǽsumus, Dómine, ieiúnia nostra sanctífica: ut, quod observántia nostra profitétur extrínsecus, intérius operétur.
Per Dóminum nostrum Iesum Christum, Fílium tuum: qui tecum vivit et regnat in unitáte Spíritus Sancti Deus, per ómnia sǽcula sæculórum.
℟. Amen.
Sanctify our fasts by the sacrificial gifts here present, we beseech You, O Lord, that what our observance outwardly professes may be inwardly accomplished.

Vere dignum et iustum est, æquum et salutáre, nos tibi semper et ubíque grátias ágere: Dómine, sancte Pater, omnípotens ætérne Deus: Qui corporáli ieiúnio vítia cómprimis, mentem élevas, virtútem largíris et prǽmia: per Christum Dóminum nostrum. Per quem maiestátem tuam laudant Angeli, adórant Dominatiónes, tremunt Potestátes. Cæli cælorúmque Virtútes, ac beáta Séraphim, sócia exsultatióne concélebrant. Cum quibus et nostras voces, ut admítti iúbeas, deprecámur, súpplici confessióne dicéntes:
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 rewards; through Christ our Lord. Through whom the Angels praise Thy Majesty, the Dominations 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:
Ps 7:2
Dómine, Deus meus, in te sperávi: líbera me ab ómnibus persequéntibus me, et éripe me.
Ps 7:2
O Lord my God, in You I take refuge; save me from all my pursuers and rescue me.
