Léctio Ieremíæ Prophétæ.
Ier 7:1-7
In diébus illis: Factum est verbum Dómini ad me, dicens: Sta in porta domus Dómini: et prǽdica ibi verbum istud, et dic: Audíte verbum Dómini, omnis Iuda, qui ingredímini per portas has, ut adorétis Dóminum. Hæc dicit Dóminus exercítuum, Deus Israël: Bonas fácite vias vestras et stúdia vestra: et habitábo vobíscum in loco isto. Nolíte confídere in verbis mendácii, dicéntes: Templum Dómini, templum Dómini, templum Dómini est. Quóniam si bene direxéritis vias vestras et stúdia vestra: si fecéritis iudícium inter virum et próximum eius, ádvenæ et pupíllo et víduæ non fecéritis calúmniam, nec sánguinem innocéntem effudéritis in loco hoc, et post deos aliénos non ambulavéritis in malum vobismetípsis: habitábo vobíscum in loco isto, in terra, quam dedi pátribus vestris a sǽculo et usque in sǽculum: ait Dóminus omnípotens.
℟. Deo grátias.
Lesson from the Prophecy of Jeremias
Jer 7:1-7
In those days, the following message came to me from the Lord: Stand at the gate of the house of the Lord, and there proclaim this message: ‘Hear the word of the Lord, all you of Juda who enter these gates to worship the Lord! Thus says the Lord of Hosts, the God of Israel: Reform your ways and your deeds, so that I may remain with you in this place. Put not your trust in the deceitful words: This is the temple of the Lord! The temple of the Lord! The temple of the Lord! Only if you thoroughly reform your ways and your deeds; if each of you deals justly with his neighbor; if you no longer oppress the resident alien, the orphan, and the widow; if you no longer shed innocent blood in this place, or follow strange gods to your own harm, will I remain with you in this place, in the land which I gave your fathers long ago and forever,’ says the Lord almighty.
℟. Thanks be to God.
Ps 144:15-16
Oculi ómnium in te sperant, Dómine: et tu das illis escam in témpore opportúno,
℣. Aperis tu manum tuam: et imples omne ánimal benedictióne.
Ps 144:15-16
The eyes of all look hopefully to You, O Lord, and You give them their food in due season.
℣. You open Your hand and satisfy the desire of every living thing.
Sequéntia + sancti Evangélii secúndum Lucam
℟. Glória tibi, Dómine.
Luc 4:38-44
In illo témpore: Surgens Iesus de synagóga, introívit in domum Simónis. Socrus autem Simónis tenebátur magnis fébribus: et rogavérunt illum pro ea. Et stans super illam, imperávit febri: et dimísit illam. Et contínuo surgens, ministrábat illis. Cum autem sol occidísset, omnes qui habébant infírmos váriis languóribus, ducébant illos ad eum. At ille síngulis manus impónens, curábat eos. Exíbant autem dæmónia a multis clamántia et dicéntia: Quia tu es Fílius Dei: et íncrepans non sinébat ea loqui, quia sciébant ipsum esse Christum. Facta autem die egréssus ibat in desértum locum, et turbæ requirébant eum, et venérunt usque ad ipsum: et detinébant illum, ne discéderet ab eis. Quibus ille ait: Quia et áliis civitátibus opórtet me evangelizáre regnum Dei: quia ídeo missus sum. Et erat prǽdicans in synagógis Galilǽæ.
℟. Laus tibi, Christe.
S. Per Evangélica dicta, deleántur nostra delícta.
Continuation of the Holy Gospel according to Luke
℟. Glory be to Thee, O Lord.
Luke 4:38-44
At that time, Jesus rose from the synagogue and entered Simon’s house. Now Simon’s mother-in-law was suffering from a great fever, and they besought Him for her. And standing over her He rebuked the fever, and it left her; and she rose at once and began to wait on them. Now when the sun was setting, all who had persons sick with various diseases brought them to Him. And He laid His hands upon each of them and cured them. And devils also came forth from many, crying out and saying, You are the Son of God. And He rebuked them, and did not permit them to speak, because they knew that He was the Christ. Now when it was day, He went out and departed into a desert place. And the crowds were seeking after Him, and they came to Him, and tried to detain Him, that He might not depart from them. But He said to them, To the other towns also I must proclaim the kingdom of God, for this is why I have been sent. And He was preaching in the synagogues of Galilee.
℟. Praise be to Thee, O Christ.
S. By the words of the Gospel may our sins be blotted out.
Ps 137:7
Si ambulávero in médio tribulatiónis, vivificábis me, Dómine: et super iram inimicórum meorum exténdes manum tuam, et salvum me fáciet déxtera tua.
Ps 137:7
Though I walk amid distress, You preserve me, O Lord; against the anger of my enemies You raise Your hand; Your right hand saves me.
In tuorum, Dómine, pretiósa morte iustórum sacrifícium illud offérimus, de quo martýrium sumpsit omne princípium.
Per Dóminum nostrum Iesum Christum, Fílium tuum: qui tecum vivit et regnat in unitáte Spíritus Sancti Deus, per ómnia sǽcula sæculórum.
℟. Amen.
Commemoratio S. Gregorii Papæ Confessoris et Ecclesiæ Doctoris

Per Dóminum nostrum Iesum Christum, Fílium tuum: qui tecum vivit et regnat in unitáte Spíritus Sancti Deus, per ómnia sǽcula sæculórum.
℟. Amen.
We offer You, O Lord, in honor of the meritorious death of Your just ones, this sacrifice which is the source of martyrdom.

de Quadragesima
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:
