First ReadingNumbers 21:4-9

From the Book of Numbers

4They traveled from Mount Hor by the way to the Red Sea,to go around the land of Edom.The soul of the people was very discouragedbecause of the journey.5The people spoke against God and against Moses:“Why have you brought us up out of Egypt to die in the wilderness?For there is no bread,there is no water,and our soul loathes this disgusting food!”

6The Lord sent venomous snakes among the people,and they bit the people.Many people of Israel died.7The people came to Moses,and said, “We have sinned,because we have spoken against the Lord and against you.Pray to the Lord, that he take away the serpents from us.”Moses prayed for the people.

8The Lord said to Moses,“Make a venomous snake,and set it on a pole.It shall happen that everyone who is bitten,when he sees it, shall live.”9Moses made a serpent of bronze, and set it on the pole.If a serpent had bitten any man,when he looked at the serpent of bronze, he lived.

Responsorial PsalmPsalm 102:2-3, 16-18, 19-21

2Hear my prayer, Lord!Let my cry come to you.3Don’t hide your face from me in the day of my distress.Turn your ear to me.Answer me quickly in the day when I call.

16So the nations will fear the Lord’s name,all the kings of the earth your glory.17For the Lord has built up Zion.He has appeared in his glory.18He has responded to the prayer of the destitute,and has not despised their prayer.

19This will be written for the generation to come.A people which will be created will praise the Lord,20for he has looked down from the height of his sanctuary.From heaven, the Lord saw the earth,21to hear the groans of the prisoner,to free those who are condemned to death,

GospelJohn 8:21-30

From the Gospel according to John

21Jesus said therefore again to them,“I am going away, and you will seek me,and you will die in your sins.Where I go, you can’t come.”

22The Jews therefore said,“Will he kill himself,because he says, ‘Where I am going, you can’t come’?”

23He said to them, “You are from beneath.I am from above.You are of this world.I am not of this world.24I said therefore to you that you will die in your sins;for unless you believe that I am he,you will die in your sins.”

25They said therefore to him, “Who are you?”

Jesus said to them,“Just what I have been saying to you from the beginning.26I have many things to speak and to judge concerning you.However, he who sent me is true;and the things which I heard from him,these I say to the world.”

27They didn’t understandthat he spoke to them about the Father.28Jesus therefore said to them,“When you have lifted up the Son of Man,then you will know that I am he,and I do nothing of myself,but as my Father taught me,I say these things.29He who sent me is with me.The Father hasn’t left me alone,for I always do the things that are pleasing to him.”

30As he spoke these things, many believed in him.

Léctio Daniélis Prophétæ

Dan 14:27, 28-42

In diébus illis: Congregáti sunt Babylónii ad regem, et dixérunt ei: Trade nobis Daniélem, qui Bel destrúxit et dracónem interfécit, alióquin interficiémus te, et domum tuam. Vidit ergo rex, quod irrúerent in eum veheménter: et necessitáte compúlsus trádidit eis Daniélem. Qui misérunt eum in lacum leónum, et erat ibi diébus sex. Porro in lacu erant leónes septem, et dabántur eis duo córpora cotídie et duæ oves: et tunc non data sunt eis, ut devorárent Daniélem. Erat autem Hábacuc prophéta in Judǽa, et ipse cóxerat pulméntum, et intríverat panes in alvéolo: et ibat in campum, ut ferret messóribus. Dixítque Angelus Dómini ad Hábacuc: Fer prándium, quod habes, in Babylónem Daniéli, qui est in lacu leónum. Et dixit Hábacuc: Dómine, Babylónem non vidi, et lacum néscio. Et apprehéndit eum Angelus Dómini in vértice ejus, et portávit eum capíllo cápitis sui, posuítque eum in Babylóne supra lacum in ímpetu spíritus sui. Et clamávit Hábacuc, dicens: Dániel, serve Dei, tolle prándium, quod misit tibi Deus. Et ait Dániel: Recordátus es mei, Deus, et non dereliquísti diligéntes te. Surgénsque Daniel comédit. Porro Angelus Dómini restítuit Hábacuc conféstim in loco suo. Venit ergo rex die séptimo, ut lugéret Daniélem: et venit ad lacum et introspéxit, et ecce Dániel sedens in médio leónum. Et exclamávit voce magna rex, dicens: Magnus es, Dómine, Deus Daniélis. Et extráxit eum de lacu leónum. Porro illos, qui perditiónis ejus causa fúerant, intromísit in lacum, et devoráti sunt in moménto coram eo. Tunc rex ait: Páveant omnes habitántes in univérsa terra Deum Daniélis: quia ipse est salvátor, fáciens signa et mirabília in terra: qui liberávit Daniélem de lacu leónum.

Lesson from the Prophecy of Daniel

Dan 14:27-42

In those days, the Babylonians went to the king and demanded: Hand over to us Daniel, who has destroyed Bel and killed the dragon, or we will kill you and your family. When he saw himself threatened with violence, the king was forced to hand Daniel over to them. They threw Daniel into a lions’ den, where he remained six days. In the den were seven lions, and two carcasses and two sheep had been given to them daily. But now they were given nothing, so that they would devour Daniel. In Judea there was a prophet, Habacuc; he mixed some bread in a bowl with the stew he had boiled, and was going to bring it to the reapers in the field, when an Angel of the Lord told him, Take the lunch you have to Daniel in the lions’ den at Babylon. But Habacuc answered, Babylon, sir, I have never seen, and I do not know the den! The Angel of the Lord seized him by the crown of his head and carried him by the hair; with the speed of the wind, he set him down in Babylon above the den. Daniel, servant of God, cried Habacuc, take the lunch God has sent you. You have remembered me, O God, said Daniel; You have not forsaken those who love You. While Daniel began to eat, the Angel of the Lord at once brought Habacuc back to his own place. On the seventh day the king came to mourn for Daniel. As he came to the den and looked in, there was Daniel, sitting in the midst of the lions! The king cried aloud, You are great, O Lord, the God of Daniel! Daniel he took out of the lions’ den, but those who had tried to destroy him he threw into the den, and they were devoured in a moment before his eyes. Then the king said: Let all the inhabitants of the whole earth fear the God of Daniel; for He is the Saviour, working signs and wonders in the earth, Who has delivered Daniel out of the lions’ den.

Sequéntia ☩ sancti Evangélii secúndum Joánnem

Joann 7:1-13

In illo témpore: Ambulábat Jesus in Galilǽam, non enim volébat in Judǽam ambuláre, quia quærébant eum Judǽi interfícere. Erat autem in próximo dies festus Judæórum, Scenopégia. Dixérunt autem ad eum fratres ejus: Transi hinc, et vade in Judǽam, ut et discípuli tui vídeant ópera tua, quæ facis. Nemo quippe in occúlto quid facit, et quærit ipse in palam esse: si hæc facis, manifésta teipsum mundo. Neque enim fratres ejus credébant in eum. Dixit ergo eis Jesus: Tempus meum nondum advénit: tempus autem vestrum semper est parátum. Non potest mundus odísse vos: me autem odit: quia ego testimónium perhíbeo de illo, quod ópera ejus mala sunt. Vos ascéndite ad diem festum hunc, ego autem non ascéndo ad diem festum istum: quia meum tempus nondum implétum est. Hæc cum dixísset, ipse mansit in Galilǽa. Ut autem ascendérunt fratres ejus, tunc et ipse ascéndit ad diem festum non maniféste, sed quasi in occúlto. Judǽi ergo quærébant eum in die festo, et dicébant: Ubi est ille? Et murmur multum erat in turba de eo. Quidam enim dicébant: Quia bonus est. Alii autem dicébant: Non, sed sedúcit turbas. Nemo tamen palam loquebátur de illo, propter metum Judæórum.

Continuation of the Holy Gospel according to John

John 7:1-13

At that time, Jesus went about in Galilee, for He did not wish to go about in Judea because the Jews were seeking to put Him to death. Now the Jewish feast of Tabernacles was at hand. His brethren therefore said to Him, Leave here and go into Judea that Your disciples also may see the works that You do; for no one does a thing in secret if he wants to be publicly known. If You do these things, manifest yourself to the world. For not even His brethren believed in Him. Jesus therefore said to them, My time has not yet come, but your time is always at hand. The world cannot hate you, but it hates Me because I bear witness concerning it, that its works are evil. As for you, go up to the feast, but I do not go up to this feast, for My time is not yet fulfilled. When He had said these things He stayed on in Galilee. But as soon as His brethren had gone up to the feast, then He also went up, not publicly, but as it were privately. The Jews therefore were looking for Him at the feast, and were saying, Where is He? And there was much whispered comment among the crowd concerning Him. For some were saying, He is a good man. But others were saying, No, rather He seduces the crowd. Yet for fear of the Jews no one spoke openly of Him.

They trust in You who cherish your Name, O Lord, for You forsake not those who seek You. Sing praise to the Lord enthroned in Sion, for He has not forgotten the cry of the afflicted.

PrefacePrefatio

de Sancta Cruce

Vere dignum et justum est, æquum et salutáre, nos tibi semper et ubíque grátias ágere: Dómine sancte, Pater omnípotens, ætérne Deus: Qui salútem humáni géneris in ligno Crucis constituísti: ut, unde mors oriebátur, inde vita resúrgeret: et, qui in ligno vincébat, in ligno quoque vincerétur: per Christum, Dóminum nostrum. Per quem majestátem tuam laudant Angeli, adórant Dominatiónes, tremunt Potestátes. Cæli cælorúmque Virtútes ac beáta Séraphim sócia exsultatióne concélebrant. Cum quibus et nostras voces ut admítti júbeas, deprecámur, súpplici confessióne dicéntes:

Holy Cross

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 didst establish the salvation of mankind on the tree of the Cross; that whence death came, thence also life might arise again, and that he, who overcame by the tree, by the tree also might be overcome: 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:
