First ReadingActs 8:1b-8

From the Acts of the Apostles

1Saul was consenting to his death.A great persecution arose against the assemblywhich was in Jerusalem in that day.They were all scattered abroad throughout the regions of Judea and Samaria,except for the apostles.2Devout men buried Stephen and lamented greatly over him.3But Saul ravaged the assembly,entering into every houseand dragged both men and women off to prison.4Therefore thosewho were scattered abroad went around preaching the word.5Philip went down to the city of Samariaand proclaimed to them the Christ.6The multitudes listened with one accord to the thingsthat were spoken by Philip when they heardand saw the signs which he did.7For unclean spirits came out of many of those who had them.They came out, crying with a loud voice.Many who had been paralyzed and lame were healed.8There was great joy in that city.

Responsorial PsalmPsalm 66:1-3a, 4-5, 6-7a

1Make a joyful shout to God, all the earth!2Sing to the glory of his name!Offer glory and praise!3Tell God, “How awesome are your deeds!Through the greatness of your power, your enemies submit themselves to you.

4All the earth will worship you,and will sing to you;they will sing to your name.”5Come, and see God’s deeds—awesome work on behalf of the children of men.

6He turned the sea into dry land.They went through the river on foot.There, we rejoiced in him.7He rules by his might forever.His eyes watch the nations.Don’t let the rebellious rise up against him.

GospelJohn 6:35-40

From the Gospel according to John

35Jesus said to them, “I am the bread of life.Whoever comes to me will not be hungry,and whoever believes in me will never be thirsty.36But I told you that you have seen me,and yet you don’t believe.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.”

CollectOratio

Deus, qui beátum Hermenegíldum Mártyrem tuum cœlésti regno terrénum postpónere docuísti: da, quǽsumus, nobis; ejus exémplo cadúca despícere atque ætérna sectári.

EpistleLectio

Léctio libri Sapiéntiæ

Sap 10:10-14

Justum dedúxit Dóminus per vias rectas, et ostendit illi regnum Dei, et dedit illi sciéntiam sanctórum: honestávit illum in labóribus, et complévit labores illíus. In fraude circumveniéntium illum áffuit illi, et honéstum fecit illum. Custodívit illum ab inimícis, et a seductóribus tutávit illum, et certámen forte dedit illi, ut vínceret et sciret, quóniam ómnium poténtior est sapiéntia. Hæc vénditum justum non derelíquit, sed a peccatóribus liberávit eum: descendítque cum illo in fóveam, et in vínculis non derelíquit illum, donec afférret illi sceptrum regni, et poténtiam advérsus eos, qui eum deprimébant: et mendáces osténdit, qui maculavérunt illum, et dedit illi claritátem ætérnam, Dóminus, Deus noster.

Lesson from the book of Wisdom

Wis 10:10-14

She conducted the just, when he fled from his brother's wrath, through the right ways, and shewed him the kingdom of God, and gave him the knowledge of the holy things, made him honourable in his labours, and accomplished his labours. In the deceit of them that overreached him, she stood by him, and made him honourable. She kept him safe from his enemies, and she defended him from seducers, and gave him a strong conflict, that he might overcome, and know that wisdom is mightier than all. She forsook not the just when he was sold, but delivered him from sinners: she went down with him into the pit. And in bands she left him not, till she brought him the sceptre of the kingdom, and power against those that oppressed him: and shewed them to be liars that had accused him, and gave him everlasting glory.

GospelEvangelium

Sequéntia ☩ sancti Evangélii secúndum Lucam

Luc 14:26-33

In illo témpore: Dixit Jesus turbis: Si quis venit ad me, et non odit patrem suum, et matrem, et uxórem, et fílios, et fratres, et soróres, adhuc autem et ánimam suam, non potest meus esse discípulus. Et qui non bájulat crucem suam, et venit post me, non potest meus esse discípulus. Quis enim ex vobis volens turrim ædificáre, non prius sedens cómputat sumptus, qui necessárii sunt, si hábeat ad perficiéndum; ne, posteáquam posúerit fundaméntum, et non potúerit perfícere, omnes, qui vident, incípiant illúdere ei, dicéntes: Quia hic homo cœpit ædificáre, et non pótuit consummáre? Aut quis rex itúrus commíttere bellum advérsus álium regem, non sedens prius cógitat, si possit cum decem mílibus occúrrere ei, qui cum vigínti mílibus venit ad se? Alióquin, adhuc illo longe agénte, legatiónem mittens, rogat ea, quæ pacis sunt. Sic ergo omnis ex vobis, qui non renúntiat ómnibus, quæ póssidet, non potest meus esse discípulus.

Continuation of the Holy Gospel according to Luke

Luke 14:26-33.

At that time, Jesus said to the crowds, If anyone comes to Me and does not hate his father and mother, and wife and children, and brothers and sisters, yes, and even his own life, he cannot be My disciple. And he who does not carry his cross and follow Me, cannot be My disciple. For which of you, wishing to build a tower, does not sit down first and calculate the outlays that are necessary, whether he has the means to complete it? Lest, after he has laid the foundation and is not able to finish, all who behold begin to mock him, saying, ‘This man began to build and was not able to finish!’ Or what king setting out to engage in battle with another king, does not sit down first and consider whether he is able with ten thousand men to meet him who with twenty thousand is coming against him? Or else, whilst the other is yet at a distance, he sends a delegation and asks the terms of peace. So, therefore, every one of you who does not renounce all that he possesses, cannot be My disciple.

PrefacePrefatio

Paschalis

Vere dignum et justum est, æquum et salutáre: Te quidem, Dómine, omni témpore, sed in hoc potíssimum gloriósius prædicáre, cum Pascha nostrum immolátus est Christus. Ipse enim verus est Agnus, qui ábstulit peccáta mundi. Qui mortem nostram moriéndo destrúxit et vitam resurgéndo reparávit. Et ídeo cum Angelis et Archángelis, cum Thronis et Dominatiónibus cumque omni milítia cœléstis exércitus hymnum glóriæ tuæ cánimus, sine fine dicéntes:

Easter

It is truly meet and just, right and for our salvation, at all times to praise Thee, O Lord, but more gloriously especially in this season when Christ our Pasch was sacrificed. For He is the Lamb Who hath taken away the sins of the world: Who by dying hath destroyed our death: and by rising again hath restored us to life. 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:
