Léctio libri Apocalýpsis beáti Ioánnis Apóstoli

Apoc 14:13

In diébus illis: Audívi vocem de cœlo, dicéntem mihi: Scribe: Beáti mórtui, qui in Dómino moriúntur. Amodo iam dicit Spíritus, ut requiéscant a labóribus suis: ópera enim illórum sequúntur illos.

Lesson from the book of Revelation

Réquiem ætérnam dona eis, Dómine: et lux perpétua lúceat eis.

Ps 111:7.

Sequentia

Dies iræ, dies illa

Solvet sæclum in favílla:

Teste David cum Sibýlla.

Quantus tremor est futúrus,

Quando iudex est ventúrus,

Cuncta stricte discussúrus!

Tuba mirum spargens sonum

Per sepúlcra regiónum,

Coget omnes ante thronum.

Mors stupébit et natúra,

Cum resúrget creatúra,

Iudicánti responsúra.

Liber scriptus proferétur,

In quo totum continétur,

Unde mundus iudicétur.

Iudex ergo cum sedébit,

Quidquid latet, apparébit:

Nil inúltum remanébit.

Quid sum miser tunc dictúrus?

Quem patrónum rogatúrus,

Cum vix iustus sit secúrus?

Rex treméndæ maiestátis,

Qui salvándos salvas gratis,

Salva me, fons pietátis.

Recordáre, Iesu pie,

Quod sum causa tuæ viæ:

Ne me perdas illa die.

Quærens me, sedísti lassus:

Redemísti Crucem passus:

Tantus labor non sit cassus.

Iuste iudex ultiónis,

Donum fac remissiónis

Ante diem ratiónis.

Ingemísco, tamquam reus:

Culpa rubet vultus meus:

Supplicánti parce, Deus.

Qui Maríam absolvísti,

Et latrónem exaudísti,

Mihi quoque spem dedísti.

Preces meæ non sunt dignæ:

Sed tu bonus fac benígne,

Ne perénni cremer igne.

Inter oves locum præsta,

Et ab hœdis me sequéstra,

Státuens in parte dextra.

Confutátis maledíctis,

Flammis ácribus addíctis:

Voca me cum benedíctis.

Oro supplex et acclínis,

Cor contrítum quasi cinis:

Gere curam mei finis.

Lacrimósa dies illa,

Qua resúrget ex favílla

Iudicándus homo reus.

Huic ergo parce, Deus:

Pie Iesu Dómine,

Dona eis réquiem.

Amen.

4 Esd. 2:34-35

Eternal rest give to them, O Lord; and let perpetual light shine upon them.

Ps 111:7

The just man shall be in everlasting remembrance; an evil report he shall not fear.

Tractus

O Lord, absolve the souls of all the faithful departed from every bond of sin.

℣. And by the help of Your grace may they be worthy to escape the sentence of vengeance.

℣. And to enjoy all the beatitude of the light eternal.

Sequentia

May be omitted at Daily Mass

Dreaded day, that day of ire,

When the world shall melt in fire,

Told by Sibyl and David’s lyre.

Fright men’s hearts shall rudely shift,

As the Judge through gleaming rift

Comes each soul to closely sift.

Then, the trumpet’s shrill refrain,

Piercing tombs by hill and plain,

Souls to judgment shall arraign.

Death and nature stand aghast,

As the bodies rising fast,

Hie to hear the sentence passed.

Then, before Him shall be placed,

That whereon the verdict’s based,

Book wherein each deed is traced.

When the Judge His seat shall gain,

All that’s hidden shall be plain,

Nothing shall unjudged remain.

Wretched man, what can I plead?

Whom to ask to intercede,

When the just much mercy need?

You, O awe-inspiring Lord,

Saving e’en when unimplored,

Save me, mercy’s fount adored.

O sweet Jesus, mindful be,

That You came on earth for me:

Cast me not from You this day.

Seeking me Your strength was spent

Ransoming Your limbs were rent:

Is this toil to no intent?

You, awarding pains condign,

Mercy’s ear to me incline,

Ere the reckoning You assign.

I, felon-like, my lot bewail,

Suffused cheeks my shame unveil:

God! O let my prayer prevail.

Mary’s soul You fashioned white,

And did to heaven the thief invite;

Hope in me these now excite.

Prayers of mine in vain ascend:

You are good and will forefend,

In quenchless fire my life to end.

When the cursed by shame oppressed,

Enter flames at Your behest,

Call me then to join the blessed.

Place amid Your sheep accord,

Keep me from the tainted horde,

Set me in Your sight, O Lord.

Prostrate, suppliant, now no more

Unrepenting, as of yore,

Save me dying, I implore.

Mournful day that day of sighs,

When from dust shall man arise,

Stained with guilt his doom to know,

Mercy, Lord, on him bestow.

Jesus, kind! Your souls release,

Led them thence to realms of peace.

Amen.

Sequéntia + sancti Evangélii secúndum Ioánnem

℟. Glória tibi, Dómine.

Ioann 6:51-55

In illo témpore: Dixit Iesus turbis Iudæórum: Ego sum panis vivus, qui de cœlo descéndi. Si quis manducáverit ex hoc pane, vivet in ætérnum: et panis, quem ego dabo, caro mea est pro mundi vita. Litigábant ergo Iudæi ad ínvicem, dicéntes: Quómodo potest hic nobis carnem suam dare ad manducándum? Dixit ergo eis Iesus: Amen, amen, dico vobis: nisi manducavéritis carnem Fílii hóminis et bibéritis eius sánguinem, non habébitis vitam in vobis. Qui mánducat meam carnem et bibit meum sánguinem, habet vitam ætérnam: et ego resuscitábo eum in novíssimo die.

℟. 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 6:51-55

At that time, Jesus said to the multitudes of the Jews, I am the living bread that has come down from heaven. If anyone eat of this bread he shall live forever; and the bread that I will give is My Flesh for the life of the world. The Jews on that account argued with one another, saying, How can this man give us His Flesh to eat? Jesus therefore said to them, Amen, amen, I say to you, unless you eat the Flesh of the Son of Man, and drink His Blood, you shall not have life in you. He who eats My Flesh and drinks My Blood has life everlasting and I will raise him up on the last day.

℟. Praise be to Thee, O Christ.

S. By the words of the Gospel may our sins be blotted out.

Offertorium · Offertory

Dómine Iesu Christe, Rex glóriæ, líbera ánimas ómnium fidélium defunctórum de pœnis inférni et de profúndo lacu: líbera eas de ore leónis, ne absórbeat eas tártarus, ne cadant in obscúrum: sed sígnifer sanctus Míchaël repræséntet eas in lucem sanctam:

* Quam olim Abrahæ promisísti et sémini eius.

℣. Hóstias et preces tibi, Dómine, laudis offérimus: tu súscipe pro animábus illis, quarum hódie memóriam fácimus: fac eas, Dómine, de morte transíre ad vitam.

* Quam olim Abrahæ promisísti et sémini eius.

O Lord, Jesus Christ, King of glory, deliver the souls of all the faithful departed from the pains of hell and the deep pit; deliver them from the lion’s mouth, that hell engulf them not, nor they fall into darkness, but that Michael, the holy standard-bearer, bring them into the holy light * which You once promised to Abraham and his seed.

℣. We offer You, O Lord, sacrifices and prayers of praise; accept them for those souls whom we this day commemorate; grant them, O Lord, to pass from death to the life * which You once promised to Abraham and his seed.

Secreta · Secret

Deus, cuius misericórdiæ non est númerus, súscipe propítius preces humilitátis nostræ: et animábus fratrum, propinquórum et benefactórum nostrórum, quibus tui nóminis dedísti confessiónem, per hæc sacraménta salútis nostræ, cunctórum remissiónem tríbue peccatórum.

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

℟. Amen.

O God, Whose mercy is boundless, graciously accept our humble prayers, and, through this sacrament of salvation, grant to the souls of all the faithful departed, to whom You gave the grace of believing in You, the remission of all their sins.

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.

Praefatio · Preface

Defunctorum

Vere dignum et iustum est, æquum et salutáre, nos tibi semper et ubíque grátias ágere: Dómine sancte, Pater omnípotens, ætérne Deus: per Christum, Dóminum nostrum. In quo nobis spes beátæ resurrectiónis effúlsit, ut, quos contrístat certa moriéndi condício, eósdem consolétur futúræ immortalitátis promíssio. Tuis enim fidélibus, Dómine, vita mutátur, non tóllitur: et, dissolúta terréstris huius incolátus domo, ætérna in cælis habitátio comparátur. Et ídeo cum Angelis et Archángelis, cum Thronis et Dominatiónibus cumque omni milítia cœléstis exércitus hymnum glóriæ tuæ cánimus, sine fine dicéntes:

Dead

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, through Christ our Lord. In whom the hope of a blessed resurrection hath shone forth unto us; so that those who are saddened by the certain lot of dying, may be consoled by the promise of a future deathless life. For to Thy faithful people, O Lord, life is changed, not taken away: and when the home of this earthly sojourn is dissolved, an eternal dwelling place is being prepared in the heavens. And therefore with Angels and Archangels, with Thrones and Dominations, and with all the hosts of the heavenly army, we sing the hymn of Thy glory, evermore saying:
