First ReadingActs 20:28-38

From the Acts of the Apostles

28Take heed, therefore,to yourselves and to all the flock,in which the Holy Spirit has made you overseers,to shepherd the assembly of the Lord and Godwhich he purchased with his own blood.29For I know that after my departure,vicious wolves will enter in among you,not sparing the flock.30Men will arise from among your own selves,speaking perverse things,to draw away the disciples after them.31Therefore watch, rememberingthat for a period of three years I didn’t cease to admonish everyone night and day with tears.32Now, brothers, I entrust you to Godand to the word of his grace,which is able to build upand to give you the inheritance among all those who are sanctified.33I coveted no one’s silver, gold, or clothing.34You yourselves knowthat these hands served my necessities,and those who were with me.35In all things I gave you an example,that so laboring you ought to help the weak,and to remember the words of the Lord Jesus,that he himself said,‘It is more blessed to give than to receive.’ ”

36When he had spoken these things,he knelt down and prayed with them all.37They all wept freely,and fell on Paul’s neck and kissed him,38sorrowing most of allbecause of the word which he had spoken,that they should see his face no more.Then they accompanied him to the ship.

Responsorial PsalmPsalm 68:29-30, 33-35a, 35bc-36ab

29Your God has commanded your strength.Strengthen, God, that which you have done for us.30Because of your temple at Jerusalem,kings will bring presents to you.

33Sing to God, you kingdoms of the earth!Sing praises to the Lord34to him who rides on the heaven of heavens, which are of old;behold, he utters his voice, a mighty voice.35Ascribe strength to God!

35His excellency is over Israel,his strength is in the skies.36You are awesome, God, in your sanctuaries.The God of Israel gives strength and power to his people.Praise be to God!

GospelJohn 17:11b-19

From the Gospel according to John

11I am no more in the world,but these are in the world,and I am coming to you.Holy Father, keep them through your namewhich you have given me,that they may be one, even as we are.12While I was with them in the world,I kept them in your name.I have kept those whom you have given me.None of them is lost except the son of destruction,that the Scripture might be fulfilled.13But now I come to you,and I say these things in the world,that they may have my joy made full in themselves.14I have given them your word.The world hated them because they are not of the world,even as I am not of the world.15I pray not that you would take them from the world,but that you would keep them from the evil one.16They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.17Sanctify them in your truth.Your word is truth.18As you sent me into the world,even so I have sent them into the world.19For their sakes I sanctify myself,that they themselves also may be sanctified in truth.

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

de Ascensione Domini

Vere dignum et justum est, æquum et salutáre, nos tibi semper et ubíque grátias ágere: Dómine sancte, Pater omnípotens, ætérne Deus: per Christum, Dóminum nostrum. Qui post resurrectiónem suam ómnibus discípulis suis maniféstus appáruit et, ipsis cernéntibus, est elevátus in cælum, ut nos divinitátis suæ tribúeret esse partícipes. Et ídeo cum Angelis et Archángelis, cum Thronis et Dominatiónibus cumque omni milítia cœléstis exércitus hymnum glóriæ tuæ cánimus, sine fine dicéntes:

Ascension

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: through Christ our Lord. Who, after His Resurrection, appeared openly to all His disciples, and, while they looked on, was taken up into heaven, that He might grant unto us to be sharers in His own divinity. 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:

Ps 63:11

Lætábitur justus in Dómino, et sperábit in eo: et laudabúntur omnes recti corde, allelúja, allelúja.

Ps 63:11.

The just shall rejoice in the Lord, and shall hope in him: and all the upright in heart shall be praised, alleluia, alleluia.

May this Communion, O Lord, cleanse us of sin, and through the intercession of blessed Stanislaus, Your Martyr and Bishop, may it make us sharers of heavenly healing.

Through our Lord…
