Optional memorial: Saint Fidelis of Sigmaringen, Priest and Martyr

First ReadingActs 5:27-33

From the Acts of the Apostles

27When they had brought them,they set them before the council.The high priest questioned them,28saying, “Didn’t we strictly command you not to teach in this name?Behold, you have filled Jerusalem with your teaching,and intend to bring this man’s blood on us.”

29But Peter and the apostles answered,“We must obey God rather than men.30The God of our fathers raised up Jesus,whom you killed, hanging him on a tree.31God exalted him with his right hand to be a Prince and a Savior,to give repentance to Israel,and remission of sins.32We are his witnesses of these things;and so also is the Holy Spirit,whom God has given to those who obey him.”

33But they, when they heard this,were cut to the heart,and were determined to kill them.

Responsorial PsalmPsalm 34:2 and 9, 17-18, 19-20

2I will bless the Lord at all times.His praise will always be in my mouth.9Oh taste and see that the Lord is good.Blessed is the man who takes refuge in him.

17The Lord’s face is against those who do evil,to cut off their memory from the earth.18The righteous cry, and the Lord hears,and delivers them out of all their troubles.

19The Lord is near to those who have a broken heart,and saves those who have a crushed spirit.20Many are the afflictions of the righteous,but the Lord delivers him out of them all.

GospelJohn 3:31-36

From the Gospel according to John

31“He who comes from above is above all.He who is from the earth belongs to the earthand speaks of the earth.He who comes from heaven is above all.32What he has seen and heard, of that he testifies;and no one receives his witness.33He who has received his witness has set his seal to this, that God is true.34For he whom God has sent speaks the words of God;for God gives the Spirit without measure.35The Father loves the Son,and has given all things into his hand.36One who believes in the Son has eternal life,but one who disobeys the Son won’t see life,but the wrath of God remains on him.”

CollectOratio

Deus, qui beátum Fidélem, seráphico spíritus ardóre succénsum, in veræ fídei propagatióne martýrii palma et gloriósis miráculis decoráre dignátus es: ejus, quǽsumus, méritis et intercessióne, ita nos per grátiam tuam in fide et caritáte confírma; ut in servítio tuo fidéles usque ad mortem inveníri mereámur.

God, Who didst vouchsafe to enkindle in blessed Fidelis the fire of thy Seraphim, and to glorify his toil to give men a true knowledge of thee by the palm-branch of martyrdom and by great signs and wonders, be entreated, we beseech thee, for his sake and by his prayers, and so establish us in the knowledge and love of thee, that we also, like him, may be found faithful even unto death in serving of thee.

Through our Lord…

EpistleLectio

Léctio libri Sapiéntiæ

Sap 5:1-5

Stabunt justi in magna constántia advérsus eos, qui se angustiavérunt et qui abstulérunt labóres eórum. Vidéntes turbabúntur timore horríbili, et mirabúntur in subitatióne insperátæ salútis, dicéntes intra se, poeniténtiam agéntes, et præ angústia spíritus geméntes: Hi sunt, quos habúimus aliquándo in derísum et in similitúdinem impropérii. Nos insensáti vitam illórum æstimabámus insániam, et finem illórum sine honóre: ecce, quómodo computáti sunt inter fílios Dei, et inter Sanctos sors illórum est.

Lesson from the book of Wisdom

Wis 5:1-5

Then shall the just stand with great constancy against those that have afflicted them, and taken away their labours. These seeing it, shall be troubled with terrible fear, and shall be amazed at the suddenness of their unexpected salvation. Saying within themselves, repenting, and groaning for anguish of spirit: These are they, whom we had some time in derision, and for a parable of reproach. We fools esteemed their life madness, and their end without honour. Behold how they are numbered among the children of God, and their lot is among the saints.

GospelEvangelium

Sequéntia ☩ sancti Evangélii secúndum Joánnem

Joannes 15:1-7

In illo témpore: Dixit Jesus discípulis suis: Ego sum vitis vera: et Pater meus agrícola est. Omnem pálmitem in me non feréntem fructum, tollet eum: et omnem, qui fert fructum, purgábit eum, ut fructum plus áfferat. Jam vos mundi estis propter sermónem, quem locútus sum vobis. Manéte in me: et ego in vobis. Sicut palmes non potest ferre fructum a semetípso, nisi mánserit in vite: sic nec vos, nisi in me manséritis. Ego sum vitis, vos pálmites: qui manet in me, et ego in eo, hic fert fructum multum: quia sine me nihil potéstis fácere. Si quis in me non mánserit, mittétur foras sicut palmes, et aréscet, et cólligent eum, et in ignem mittent, et ardet. Si manséritis in me, et verba mea in vobis mánserint: quodcúmque voluéritis, petétis, et fiet vobis.

Continuation ☩ of the Holy Gospel according to John

John 15:1-7

In that time, Jesus said to his disciples: I am the true vine; and my Father is the husbandman. Every branch in me, that beareth not fruit, he will take away: and every one that beareth fruit, he will purge it, that it may bring forth more fruit. Now you are clean by reason of the word, which I have spoken to you. Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, unless it abide in the vine, so neither can you, unless you abide in me. I am the vine: you the branches: he that abideth in me, and I in him, the same beareth much fruit: for without me you can do nothing. If any one abide not in me, he shall be cast forth as a branch, and shall wither, and they shall gather him up, and cast him into the fire, and he burneth. If you abide in me, and my words abide in you, you shall ask whatever you will, and it shall be done unto you.

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:
