Léctio Isaíæ Prophétæ.
Isa 49:8-15
Hæc dicit Dóminus: In témpore plácito exaudívi te, et in die salútis auxiliátus sum tui: et servávi te, et dedi te in fœdus pópuli, ut suscitáres terram, et possidéres hereditátes dissipátas: ut díceres his, qui vincti sunt: Exíte: et his, qui in ténebris: Revelámini. Super vias pascéntur, et in ómnibus planis páscua eórum. Non esúrient neque sítient, et non percútiet eos æstus et sol: quia miserátor eórum reget eos, et ad fontes aquárum potábit eos. Et ponam omnes montes meos in viam, et sémitæ meæ exaltabúntur. Ecce, isti de longe vénient, et ecce illi ab aquilóne et mari, et isti de terra austráli. Laudáte, cœli, et exsúlta, terra, iubiláte, montes, laudem: quia consolátus est Dóminus pópulum suum, et páuperum suórum miserébitur. Et dixit Sion: Derelíquit me Dóminus, et Dóminus oblítus est mei. Numquid oblivísci potest múlier infántem suum, ut non misereátur fílio uteri sui? et si illa oblíta fúerit, ego tamen non oblivíscar tui, dicit Dóminus omnípotens.
℟. Deo grátias.
Lesson from the Prophecy of Isaias
Isa 49:8-15
Thus says the Lord: In a time of favor I answer you, on the day of salvation I help you, to restore the land and allot the desolate heritages, saying to the prisoners: Come out! to those in darkness: Show yourselves! Along the ways they shall find pasture, on every bare height shall their pastures be. They shall not hunger or thirst, nor shall the scorching wind or the sun strike them; for he who pities them leads them and guides them beside springs of water. I will cut a road through all My mountains, and make My highways level. See, some shall come from afar, others from the north and the west, and some from the land of Syene. Sing out, O heavens, and rejoice, O earth, break forth into song, you mountains. For the Lord comforts His people and shows mercy to His afflicted. But Sion said, The Lord has forsaken me; my Lord has forgotten me. Can a mother forget her infant, be without tenderness for the child of her womb? Even should she forget, I will never forget you, says the Lord almighty.
℟. Thanks be to God.
Ps 9:14, 1-2
Tibi, Dómine, derelíctus est pauper: pupíllo tu eris adiútor.
℣. Ut quid, Dómine, recessísti longe, déspicis in opportunitátibus, in tribulatióne? dum supérbit ímpius, incénditur pauper.
Ps 9:14, 1-2.
On You, O Lord, the unfortunate man depends; of the fatherless You are the helper.
℣. Why, O Lord, do You stand aloof? Why hide in times of distress? While the wicked man is proud, the afflicted is set on fire.
Sequéntia + sancti Evangélii secúndum Ioánnem.
℟. Glória tibi, Dómine.
Ioann 8:12-20
In illo témpore: Locútus est Iesus turbis Iudæórum, dicens: Ego sum lux mundi: qui séquitur me, non ámbulat in ténebris, sed habébit lumen vitæ. Dixérunt ergo ei pharisǽi: Tu de te ipso testimónium pérhibes: testimónium tuum non est verum. Respóndit Iesus et dixit eis: Et si ego testimónium perhíbeo de meípso, verum est testimónium meum: quia scio, unde veni et quo vado: vos autem nescítis, unde vénio aut quo vado. Vos secúndum carnem iudicátis: ego non iúdico quemquam: et si iúdico ego, iudícium meum verum est, quia solus non sum: sed ego et, qui misit me, Pater. Et in lege vestra scriptum est, quia duórum hóminum testimónium verum est. Ego sum, qui testimónium perhíbeo de meípso: et testimónium pérhibet de me, qui misit me, Pater. Dicébant ergo ei: Ubi est Pater tuus? Respóndit Iesus: Neque me scitis neque Patrem meum: si me scirétis, fórsitan et Patrem meum scirétis. Hæc verba locútus est Iesus in gazophylácio, docens in templo: et nemo apprehéndit eum, quia necdum vénerat hora eius.
℟. Laus tibi, Christe.
S. Per Evangélica dicta, deleántur nostra delícta.
Continuation of the Holy Gospel according to John
℟. Glory be to Thee, O Lord.
John 8:12-20
At that time, Jesus spoke to the multitudes of the Jews, saying, I am the light of the world. He who follows Me does not walk in the darkness, but will have the light of life. The Pharisees therefore said to Him, You bear witness to Yourself. Your witness is not true. Jesus answered and said to them, Even if I bear witness to Myself, My witness is true, because I know where I came from and where I go. But you do not know where I came from or where I go. You judge according to the flesh; I judge no one. And even if I do judge, My judgment is true, because I am not alone, but with Me is He Who sent Me, the Father. And in your Law it is written that the witness of two persons is true. It is I Who bear witness to Myself, and He Who sent Me, the Father, bears witness to Me. They therefore said to Him, Where is your Father? Jesus answered, You know neither Me nor My Father. If you knew Me, you would then know My Father also. Jesus spoke these words in the treasury, while teaching in the temple. And no one seized Him, because His hour had not yet come.
℟. Praise be to Thee, O Christ.
S. By the words of the Gospel may our sins be blotted out.
Ps 17:3
Factus est Dóminus firmaméntum meum, et refúgium meum, et liberátor meus: et sperábo in eum.
Ps 17:3
The Lord is become my rock, my fortress, my deliverer; and in Him will I put my trust.
Oblatiónibus nostris, quǽsumus, Dómine, placáre suscéptis: et ad te nostras étiam rebélles compélle propítius voluntátes.
Per Dóminum nostrum Iesum Christum, Fílium tuum: qui tecum vivit et regnat in unitáte Spíritus Sancti Deus, per ómnia sǽcula sæculórum.
℟. Amen.
Graciously accept our offerings, O Lord, we beseech You, and mercifully direct our still rebellious wills to You.
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.
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:
Ps 22:1-2
Dóminus regit me, et nihil mihi déerit: in loco páscuæ ibi me collocávit: super aquam refectiónis educávit me.
Ps 22:1-2
The Lord is my Shepherd; I shall not want. In verdant pastures He gives me repose; beside restful waters He leads me.
Orémus.
Tua nos, quǽsumus, Dómine, sancta puríficent: et operatióne sua tibi plácitos esse perfíciant.
Per Dóminum nostrum Iesum Christum, Fílium tuum: qui tecum vivit et regnat in unitáte Spíritus Sancti Deus, per ómnia sǽcula sæculórum.
℟. Amen.
Oratio super populum
Orémus.
Humiliáte cápita vestra Deo.
Deus, qui sperántibus in te miseréri pótius éligis quam irásci: da nobis digne flere mala, quæ fécimus; ut tuæ consolatiónis grátiam inveníre mereámur.
Per Dóminum nostrum Iesum Christum, Fílium tuum: qui tecum vivit et regnat in unitáte Spíritus Sancti Deus, per ómnia sǽcula sæculórum.
℟. Amen.
Let us pray.
May Your holy sacrament cleanse us, we beseech You, O Lord, and may its power make us pleasing to You.
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.
Prayer over the people
Let us pray.
Bow your heads to God.
O God, Who would rather show mercy than anger toward those who hope in you, make us truly sorry for the evil we have done, that we may be worthy of your merciful consolation.
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.
