The Commemoration of All the Faithful Departed (All Souls’ Day)

Commemoration · Ordinary Time · Sunday Cycle C · Psalter Week 3

First ReadingWisdom 3:1-9

From the Book of Wisdom

1But the souls of the righteous are in the hand of God,and no torment will touch them.2In the eyes of the foolish they seemed to have died.Their departure was considered a disaster,3and their travel away from us ruin,but they are in peace.4For even if in the sight of men they are punished,their hope is full of immortality.5Having borne a little chastening, they will receive great good;because God tested them, and found them worthy of himself.6He tested them like gold in the furnace,and he accepted them as a whole burnt offering.7In the time of their visitation they will shine.They will run back and forth like sparks among stubble.8They will judge nations and have dominion over peoples.The Lord will reign over them forever.9Those who trust him will understand truth.The faithful will live with him in love,because grace and mercy are with his chosen ones.

Responsorial PsalmPsalm 23:1-3a, 3b-4, 5, 6

1The Lord is my shepherd;I shall lack nothing.2He makes me lie down in green pastures.He leads me beside still waters.3He restores my soul.

3He guides me in the paths of righteousness for his name’s sake.4Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,I will fear no evil, for you are with me.Your rod and your staff,they comfort me.

5You prepare a table before mein the presence of my enemies.You anoint my head with oil.My cup runs over.

6Surely goodness and loving kindness shall follow me all the days of my life,and I will dwell in the Lord’s house forever.

Second ReadingRomans 5:5-11

From the Letter of Paul to the Romans

5and hope doesn’t disappoint us,because God’s love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spiritwho was given to us.

6For while we were yet weak,at the right time Christ died for the ungodly.7For one will hardly die for a righteous man.Yet perhaps for a good person someone would even dare to die.8But God commends his own love toward us,in that while we were yet sinners,Christ died for us.

9Much more then, being now justified by his blood,we will be saved from God’s wrath through him.10For if while we were enemies,we were reconciled to God through the death of his Son,much more, being reconciled,we will be saved by his life.

11Not only so,but we also rejoice in God through our Lord Jesus Christ,through whom we have now received the reconciliation.

GospelJohn 6:37-40

From the Gospel according to John

37All those whom the Father gives me will come to me.He who comes to me I will in no way throw out.38For I have come down from heaven,not to do my own will,but the will of him who sent me.39This is the will of my Father who sent me,that of all he has given to me I should lose nothing,but should raise him up at the last day.40This is the will of the one who sent me,that everyone who sees the Sonand believes in him should have eternal life;and I will raise him up at the last day.”

EpistleLectio

Lectio Epistolæ beáti Pauli Apóstoli ad Ephésios

Ephes 6:10-17

Fratres: Confortámini in Dómino et in poténtia virtútis ejus. Indúite vos armatúram Dei, ut póssitis stare advérsus insídias diáboli. Quóniam non est nobis colluctátio advérsus carnem et sánguinem: sed advérsus príncipes et potestátes, advérsus mundi rectóres tenebrárum harum, contra spirituália nequítiæ, in cœléstibus. Proptérea accípite armatúram Dei, ut póssitis resístere in die malo et in ómnibus perfécti stare. State ergo succíncti lumbos vestros in veritáte, et indúti lorícam justítiæ, et calceáti pedes in præparatióne Evangélii pacis: in ómnibus suméntes scutum fídei, in quo póssitis ómnia tela nequíssimi ígnea exstínguere: et gáleam salútis assúmite: et gládium spíritus, quod est verbum Dei.

Lesson from the letter of St. Paul the Apostle to the Ephesians

Eph 6:10-17

Brethren: Be strengthened in the Lord and in the might of His power. Put on the armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For our wrestling is not against flesh and blood, but against the Principalities and the Powers, against the world rulers of this darkness, against the spiritual forces of wickedness on high. Therefore, take up the armor of God, that you may be able to resist in the evil day, and stand in all things perfect. Stand, therefore, having girded your loins with truth, and having put on the breast-plate of justice, and having your feet shod with the readiness of the Gospel of peace, in all things taking up the shield of faith, with which you may be able to quench all the fiery darts of the most wicked one. And take unto you the helmet of salvation and the sword of the spirit, that is, the word of God.

GospelEvangelium

Sequéntia ☩ sancti Evangélii secúndum Matthǽum

Matt 18:23-35

In illo témpore: Dixit Jesus discípulis suis parábolam hanc: Assimilátum est regnum cœlórum hómini regi, qui vóluit ratiónem pónere cum servis suis. Et cum cœpísset ratiónem pónere, oblátus est ei unus, qui debébat ei decem mília talénta. Cum autem non habéret, unde rédderet, jussit eum dóminus ejus venúmdari et uxórem ejus et fílios et ómnia, quæ habébat, et reddi. Prócidens autem servus ille, orábat eum, dicens: Patiéntiam habe in me, et ómnia reddam tibi. Misértus autem dóminus servi illíus, dimísit eum et débitum dimísit ei. Egréssus autem servus ille, invénit unum de consérvis suis, qui debébat ei centum denários: et tenens suffocábat eum, dicens: Redde, quod debes. Et prócidens consérvus ejus, rogábat eum, dicens: Patiéntiam habe in me, et ómnia reddam tibi. Ille autem nóluit: sed ábiit, et misit eum in cárcerem, donec rédderet débitum. Vidéntes autem consérvi ejus, quæ fiébant, contristáti sunt valde: et venérunt et narravérunt dómino suo ómnia, quæ facta fúerant. Tunc vocávit illum dóminus suus: et ait illi: Serve nequam, omne débitum dimísi tibi, quóniam rogásti me: nonne ergo opórtuit et te miseréri consérvi tui, sicut et ego tui misértus sum? Et irátus dóminus ejus, trádidit eum tortóribus, quoadúsque rédderet univérsum débitum. Sic et Pater meus cœléstis fáciet vobis, si non remiséritis unusquísque fratri suo de córdibus vestris.

Continuation ☩ of the Holy Gospel according to Matthew

Matt 18:23-35

At that time, Jesus spoke to His disciples this parable: The kingdom of heaven is likened to a king who desired to settle accounts with his servants. And when he had begun the settlement, one was brought to him who owed him ten thousand talents. And as he had no means of paying, his master ordered him to be sold, with his wife and children and all that he had, and payment to be made. But the servant fell down and besought him, saying, ‘Have patience with me and I will pay you all!’ And moved with compassion, the master of that servant released him, and forgave him the debt. But as that servant went out, he met one of his fellow-servants who owed him a hundred denarii and he laid hold of him, and throttled him, saying, ‘Pay what you owe.’ His fellow-servant therefore fell down and began to entreat him, saying, ‘Have patience with me and I will pay you all.’ But he would not; but went away and cast him into prison until he should pay what was due. His fellow-servants therefore, seeing what had happened, were very much saddened, and they went and informed their master of what had taken place. Then his master called him, and said to him, ‘Wicked servant! I forgave you all the debt, because you entreated me. Should not you also have had pity on your fellow-servant, even as I had pity on you?’ And his master, being angry, handed him over to the torturers until he should pay all that was due to him. So also My heavenly Father will do to you, if you do not each forgive your brothers from your hearts.

Job 1.1

Vir erat in terra Hus, nómine Job: simplex et rectus ac timens Deum: quem Satan pétiit ut tentáret: et data est ei potéstas a Dómino in facultátes et in carnem ejus: perdidítque omnem substántiam ipsíus et fílios: carnem quoque ejus gravi úlcere vulnerávit.

Job 1.1

There was a man in the land of Hus, whose name was Job, simple, and upright, and fearing God, whom Satan besought that he might tempt: and power was given him from the Lord over his possessions and his flesh; and he destroyed all his substance and his children, and wounded his flesh also with a grievous ulcer.

PrefacePrefatio

de sanctissima Trinitate

Vere dignum et justum est, æquum et salutáre, nos tibi semper et ubíque grátias ágere: Dómine sancte, Pater omnípotens, ætérne Deus: Qui cum unigénito Fílio tuo et Spíritu Sancto unus es Deus, unus es Dóminus: non in uníus singularitáte persónæ, sed in uníus Trinitáte substántiæ. Quod enim de tua glória, revelánte te, crédimus, hoc de Fílio tuo, hoc de Spíritu Sancto sine differéntia discretiónis sentímus. Ut in confessióne veræ sempiternǽque Deitátis, et in persónis propríetas, et in esséntia únitas, et in majestáte adorétur æquálitas. Quam laudant Angeli atque Archángeli, Chérubim quoque ac Séraphim: qui non cessant clamáre cotídie, una voce dicéntes:

Holy Trinity

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, together with Thine only-begotten Son, and the Holy Ghost, art one God, one Lord: not in the oneness of a single Person, but in the Trinity of one substance. For what we believe by Thy revelation of Thy glory, the same do we believe of Thy Son, the same of the Holy Ghost, without difference or separation. So that in confessing the true and everlasting Godhead, distinction in persons, unity in essence, and equality in majesty may be adored. Which the Angels and Archangels, the Cherubim also and Seraphim do praise: who cease not daily to cry out, with one voice saying:
