First ReadingNumbers 21:4b-9

From the Book of Numbers

4They traveled from Mount Hor by the way to the Red Sea,to go around the land of Edom.The soul of the people was very discouragedbecause of the journey.5The people spoke against God and against Moses:“Why have you brought us up out of Egypt to die in the wilderness?For there is no bread,there is no water,and our soul loathes this disgusting food!”

6The Lord sent venomous snakes among the people,and they bit the people.Many people of Israel died.7The people came to Moses,and said, “We have sinned,because we have spoken against the Lord and against you.Pray to the Lord, that he take away the serpents from us.”Moses prayed for the people.

8The Lord said to Moses,“Make a venomous snake,and set it on a pole.It shall happen that everyone who is bitten,when he sees it, shall live.”9Moses made a serpent of bronze, and set it on the pole.If a serpent had bitten any man,when he looked at the serpent of bronze, he lived.

Responsorial PsalmPsalm 78:1bc-2, 34-35, 36-37, 38

1Hear my teaching, my people.Turn your ears to the words of my mouth.2I will open my mouth in a parable.I will utter dark sayings of old,

34When he killed them, then they inquired after him.They returned and sought God earnestly.35They remembered that God was their rock,the Most High God, their redeemer.

36But they flattered him with their mouth,and lied to him with their tongue.37For their heart was not right with him,neither were they faithful in his covenant.

38But he, being merciful, forgave iniquity, and didn’t destroy them.Yes, many times he turned his anger away,and didn’t stir up all his wrath.

Second ReadingPhilippians 2:6-11

From the Letter of Paul to the Philippians

6who, existing in the form of God,didn’t consider equality with God a thing to be grasped,7but emptied himself,taking the form of a servant,being made in the likeness of men.8And being found in human form,he humbled himself,becoming obedient to the point of death,yes, the death of the cross.9Therefore God also highly exalted him,and gave to him the name which is above every name,10that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow,of those in heaven,those on earth, and those under the earth,11and that every tongue should confessthat Jesus Christ is Lord,to the glory of God the Father.

GospelJohn 3:13-17

From the Gospel according to John

13No one has ascended into heavenbut he who descended out of heaven,the Son of Man, who is in heaven.14As Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness,even so must the Son of Man be lifted up,15that whoever believes in him should not perish,but have eternal life.16For God so loved the world,that he gave his only born Son,that whoever believes in him should not perish,but have eternal life.17For God didn’t send his Son into the world to judge the world,but that the world should be saved through him.

EpistleLectio

Léctio Epístolæ beáti Pauli Apóstoli ad Philippenses

Phil 2:5-11

Fratres: Hoc enim sentíte in vobis, quod et in Christo Jesu: qui, cum in forma Dei esset, non rapínam arbitrátus est esse se æquálem Deo: sed semetípsum exinanívit formam servi accípiens, in similitúdinem hóminum factus, et hábitu invéntus ut homo. Humiliávit semetípsum, factus obédiens usque ad mortem, mortem autem crucis. Propter quod et Deus exaltávit illum: et donávit illi nomen, quod est super omne nomen: (hic genuflectitur) ut in nómine Jesu omne genu flectátur cœléstium, terréstrium et infernórum: et omnis lingua confiteátur, quia Dóminus Jesus Christus in glória est Dei Patris.

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

Phil 2:5-11

Brethren: Have this mind in you which was also in Christ Jesus, Who though He was by nature God, did not consider being equal to God a thing to be clung to, but emptied Himself, taking the nature of a slave and being made like unto men. And appearing in the form of man, He humbled Himself, becoming obedient to death, even to death on a cross. Therefore God also has exalted Him and has bestowed upon Him the name that is above every name, (here all genuflect) so that at the name of Jesus every knee should bend of those in heaven, on earth and under the earth, and every tongue should confess that the Lord Jesus Christ is in the glory of God the Father.

GospelEvangelium

Sequéntia ☩ sancti Evangélii secúndum Joánnem

Joann 12:31-36

In illo témpore: Dixit Jesus turbis Judæórum: Nunc judícium est mundi: nunc princeps hujus mundi ejiciétur foras. Et ego si exaltátus fuero a terra, ómnia traham ad meipsum. (Hoc autem dicébat, signíficans qua morte esset moritúrus.) Respóndit ei turba. Nos audívimus ex lege, quia Christus manet in ætérnum: et quómodo tu dicis: Opórtet exaltári Fílium hóminis? Quis est iste Fílius hóminis? Dixit ergo eis Jesus: Adhuc módicum lumen in vobis est. Ambuláte, dum lucem habétis, ut non vos ténebræ comprehéndant: et qui ámbulat in ténebris, nescit, quo vadat. Dum lucem habétis, crédite in lucem, ut fílii lucis sitis.

Continuation ☩ of the Holy Gospel according to John

John 12:31-36

At that time, Jesus said to the multitudes of the Jews, Now is the judgment of the world; now will the prince of the world be cast out. And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all things to Myself. Now he said this signifying by what death He was to die. The crowd answered Him, We have heard from the Law that the Christ abides forever. And how can You say, ‘The son of Man must be lifted up’? Who is this Son of Man? Jesus therefore said to them, Yet a little while the light is among you. Walk while you have the light, that darkness may not overtake you. He who walks in the darkness does not know where he goes. While you have the light, believe in the light, that you may become sons of light.

PrefacePrefatio

de Sancta Cruce

Vere dignum et justum est, æquum et salutáre, nos tibi semper et ubíque grátias ágere: Dómine sancte, Pater omnípotens, ætérne Deus: Qui salútem humáni géneris in ligno Crucis constituísti: ut, unde mors oriebátur, inde vita resúrgeret: et, qui in ligno vincébat, in ligno quoque vincerétur: per Christum, Dóminum nostrum. Per quem majestátem tuam laudant Angeli, adórant Dominatiónes, tremunt Potestátes. Cæli cælorúmque Virtútes ac beáta Séraphim sócia exsultatióne concélebrant. Cum quibus et nostras voces ut admítti júbeas, deprecámur, súpplici confessióne dicéntes:

Holy Cross

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 didst establish the salvation of mankind on the tree of the Cross; that whence death came, thence also life might arise again, and that he, who overcame by the tree, by the tree also might be overcome: Through Christ our Lord. Through whom the Angels praise Thy Majesty, the Dominations worship it, the Powers stand in awe. The Heavens and the heavenly hosts together with the blessed Seraphim in triumphant chorus unite to celebrate it. Together with these we entreat Thee that Thou mayest bid our voices also to be admitted while we say with lowly praise:
