First ReadingIsaiah 9:1-6

From the Book of Isaiah

1The people who walked in darkness have seen a great light.

The light has shined on those who lived in the land of the shadow of death.2You have multiplied the nation.You have increased their joy.

They rejoice before you according to the joy in harvest,as men rejoice when they divide the plunder.3For the yoke of his burden,and the staff of his shoulder,the rod of his oppressor,you have broken as in the day of Midian.4For all the armor of the armed man in the noisy battle,and the garments rolled in blood,will be for burning,fuel for the fire.5For a child is born to us.A son is given to us;and the government will be on his shoulders.His name will be called Wonderful Counselor,Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.6Of the increase of his governmentand of peace there shall be no end,on David’s throne,and on his kingdom,to establish it, and to uphold it with justiceand with righteousness from that time on, even forever.The zeal of the Lord of Armies will perform this.

Responsorial PsalmPsalm 72:2-4, 7-8, 12-13, 17

2He will judge your people with righteousness,and your poor with justice.3The mountains shall bring prosperity to the people.The hills bring the fruit of righteousness.4He will judge the poor of the people.He will save the children of the needy,and will break the oppressor in pieces.

7In his days, the righteous shall flourish,and abundance of peace, until the moon is no more.8He shall have dominion also from sea to sea,from the River to the ends of the earth.

12For he will deliver the needy when he cries;the poor, who has no helper.13He will have pity on the poor and needy.He will save the souls of the needy.

17His name endures forever.His name continues as long as the sun.Men shall be blessed by him.All nations will call him blessed.

GospelJohn 14:23-29

From the Gospel according to John

23Jesus answered him,“If a man loves me,he will keep my word.My Father will love him,and we will come to him and make our home with him.24He who doesn’t love me doesn’t keep my words.The word which you hear isn’t mine,but the Father’s who sent me.

25“I have said these things to youwhile still living with you.26But the Counselor,the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name,will teach you all things,and will remind you of all that I said to you.27Peace I leave with you.My peace I give to you;not as the world gives, I give to you.Don’t let your heart be troubled,neither let it be fearful.28You heard how I told you,‘I am going away, and I will come back to you.’If you loved me, you would have rejoicedbecause I said ‘I am going to my Father;’for the Father is greater than I.29Now I have told you before it happens sothat when it happens, you may believe.

EpistleLectio

Léctio Ezechiélis Prophétæ

Ezech 1:10-14

Similitúdo vultus quátuor animálium: fácies hóminis, et fácies leónis a dextris ipsórum quatuor: fácies autem bovis a sinístris ipsórum quátuor, et fácies áquilæ désuper ipsórum quátuor. Fácies eórum et pennæ eórum exténtæ désuper: duæ pennæ singulórum jungebántur et duæ tegébant córpora eórum: et unumquódque eórum coram fácie sua ambulábat: ubi erat ímpetus spíritus, illuc gradiebántur, nec revertebántur cum ambulárent. Et similitúdo animálium, aspéctus eórum quasi carbónum ignis ardéntium et quasi aspéctus lampadárum. Hæc erat visio discúrrens in médio animálium, splendor ignis, et de igne fulgur egrédiens. Et animália ibant et revertebántur in similitúdinem fúlguris coruscántis.

Lesson from the book of Ezekiel

Ezek 1:10-14

And as for the likeness of their faces: there was the face of a man, and the face of a lion on the right side of all the four: and the face of an ox, on the left side of all the four: and the face of an eagle over all the four. And their faces, and their wings were stretched upward: two wings of every one were joined, and two covered their bodies: And every one of them went straight forward: whither the impulse of the spirit was to go, thither they went: and they turned not when they went. And as for the likeness of the living creatures, their appearance was like that of burning coals of fire, and like the appearance of lamps. This was the vision running to and fro in the midst of the living creatures, a bright fire, and lightning going forth from the fire. And the living creatures ran and returned like flashes of lightning.

GospelEvangelium

Sequéntia ☩ sancti Evangélii secúndum Lucam

Luc 10:1-9

In illo témpore: Designávit Dóminus et álios septuagínta duos: et misit illos binos ante fáciem suam in omnem civitátem et locum, quo erat ipse ventúrus. ¶ Et dicebat illis: Messis quidem multa, operárii autem pauci. Rogáte ergo Dóminum messis, ut mittat operários in messem suam. Ite: ecce, ego mitto vos sicut agnos inter lupos. Nolíte portáre sácculum neque peram neque calceaménta; et néminem per viam salutavéritis. In quamcúmque domum intravéritis, primum dícite: Pax huic dómui: et si ibi fúerit fílius pacis, requiéscet super illum pax vestra: sin autem, ad vos revertétur. In eádem autem domo manéte, edéntes et bibéntes quæ apud illos sunt: dignus est enim operárius mercéde sua. Nolíte transíre de domo in domum. Et in quamcúmque civitátem intravéritis, et suscéperint vos, manducáte quæ apponúntur vobis: et curáte infírmos, qui in illa sunt, et dícite illis: Appropinquávit in vos regnum Dei.

Continuation ☩ of the Holy Gospel according to Luke

Luke 10:1-9

At that time, the Lord appointed seventy-two others, and sent them forth two by two before Him into every town and place where He Himself was about to come. And He said to them, The harvest indeed is great, but the laborers are few. Pray therefore the Lord of the harvest to send forth laborers into His harvest. Go. Behold, I send you forth as lambs in the midst of wolves. Carry neither purse, nor wallet, nor sandals, and greet no one on the way. Whatever house you enter, first say, ‘Peace to this house!’ And if a son of peace be there, your peace will rest upon him; but if not, it will return to you. And remain in the same house, eating and drinking what they have; for the laborer deserves his wages. Do not go from house to house. And whatever town you enter, and they receive you, eat what is set before you, and cure the sick who are there, and say to them, ‘The kingdom of God is at hand for you.’

PrefacePrefatio

de Apostolis

Vere dignum et justum est, æquum et salutáre: Te, Dómine, supplíciter exoráre, ut gregem tuum, Pastor ætérne, non déseras: sed per beátos Apóstolos tuos contínua protectióne custódias. Ut iísdem rectóribus gubernétur, quos óperis tui vicários eídem contulísti præésse pastóres. Et ídeo cum Angelis et Archángelis, cum Thronis et Dominatiónibus cumque omni milítia cœléstis exércitus hymnum glóriæ tuæ cánimus, sine fine dicéntes:

of Apostles

It is truly meet and just, right and for our salvation, to entreat Thee humbly, O Lord, that Thou wouldst not desert Thy flock, O everlasting Shepherd, but, through Thy blessed Apostles, wouldst keep it under Thy constant protection; that it may be governed by those same rulers, whom as vicars of Thy work, Thou didst set over it to be its pastors. 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:
