FRATRES:
Quæcúmque scripta sunt, ad nostram doctrínam
scripta sunt: ut per patiéntiam, et consolatiónem
Scripturárum, spem habeámus. Deus autem
patiéntiæ, et solátii, det vobis
idípsum sápere in altérutrum secundum
Jesum Christum: ut unánimes, uno ore honorificétis
Deum et Patrem Domini nostri Jesu Christi. Propter quod
suscípite ínvicem, sicut et Christus suscépit
vos in honórem Dei. Dico enim Christum Iesum
minístrum fuísse circumcisiónis
propter veritátem Dei, ad confirmándas
promissiónes patrum: gentes autem super misericórdia
honoráre Deum, sicut scriptum est: Proptérea
confitébor tibi in géntibus, Dómine,
et nómini tui cantábo, cum plebe ejus.
Et iterum: Laudáte omnes gentes Dóminum:
et magnificáte eum omnes pópuli. Et rursus
Isaías ait: Erit radix Jesse, et qui exsúrget
régere gentes, in eum gentes sperábunt.
Deus autem spei répleat vos omni gáudio,
et pace in credéndo: ut abundétis in spe,
et virtúte Spíritus Sancti.

BRETHREN, What things soever were written, were written
for our learning : that, through patience and the comfort
of the Scriptures, we might have hope. Now the God of
patience and of comfort grant you to be of one mind
one towards another, ac-cording to Jesus Christ : that
with one mind and with one mouth you may glorify God
and the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. Wherefore receive
one another, as Christ also hath received you unto the
honour of God. For I say that Christ Jesus was minister
of the circumcision for the truth of God, to confirm
the promises made unto the fathers: but that the Gentiles
are to glorify God for His mercy, as it is written :
Therefore will I confess to Thee, O Lord, among the
Gentiles, and will sing to Thy Name. And again He saith:
Rejoice, ye Gentiles, with His people. And again: Praise
the Lord, all ye Gentiles, and magnify Him, all ye people.
And again, Isaias saith: There shall be a root of Jesse;
and He that shall rise up to rule the Gentiles, in Him
the Gentiles shall hope. Now the God of hope fill you
with all joy and peace in believing: that you may abound
in hope, and in the power of the Holy Ghost. |

Sion spécies decóris ejus: Deus maniféste véniet.
Congregáte illi sanctos ejus, qui ordinavérunt testaméntum

Dómine íbimus. Allelúia.

OUT
of Sion the loveliness of His beauty : God shall come
manifestly. Gather ye together His Saints to Him,
who have set His covenant before sacrifices. Alleluia.
Alleluia. (Ps. 121. 1). I rejoiced at the things that
were said to me: We shall go unto the house of the
Lord. Alleluia.

Gospel
Continuation
of the holy Gospel according to Mt. , 11. 2-10
[John the Batist, sent "to prepare the way for the Messiah", puts the question to Jesus: "Art Thou He that art to come". Reply of Jesus to the Precursor.]
|
IN illo témpore: Cum audísset Joánnes in vínculis ópera Christi, mittens duos de discípulis suis, ait illi: Tu es, qui ventúrus es, an álium expectámus? Et respóndens Jesus ait íllis: Eúntes renuntiáte Joánni, quæ audístis, et vidistis. Cæci vident, claudi ámbulant, leprósi mundántur, surdi áudiunt, mórtui resúrgunt, páuperes evangelizántur: et beátus est, qui non fúerit scandalizátus in me. Illis autem abeúntibus, cœpit Jesus dícere ad turbas de Joánne: Quid exístis in desértum vidére? arúndinem vento agitátam? Sed quid exístis vidére? hóminem móllibus vestítum? Ecce qui móllibus vestiúntur, in dómibus regum sunt. Sed quid exístis vidére? prophétam? Etiam dico vobis, et plus quam prophétam. Hic est enim de quo scriptum est: Ecce ego mitto Angelum meum ante fáciem tuam, qui præparábit viam tuam ante te. - Credo.

AT that time, when John had heard in prison the works of Christ, sending two of his disciples, he said to Him: Art thou He that art to come, or look we for another? And Jesus making answer, said to them: Go and relate to John what you have heard and seen. The blind see, the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead rise again, the poor have the gospel preached to them: and blessed is he that shall not be scandalised in Me. And when they went their way, Jesus began to say to the multitudes concerning John: What went you out into the desert to see? A reed shaken with the wind? But what went you out to see? A man clothed in soft garments? Behold they that are clothed in soft garments are in the houses of kings. But what went you out to see? A Prophet? Yea I tell you, and more than a Prophet. For this is he of whom it is written: Behold I send my Angel before Thy face, who shall prepare Thy way before Thee. - Creed. |

Offertory
(Ps. 84. 7-8)
Deus, tu convérsus vivificábis nos, et plebs tua lætábitur in te: osténde nobis, Dómine, misericórdiam tuam, et salutáre tuum da nobis.
|
|
THOU wilt turn, O God, and bring us to life, and Thy people shall rejoice in Thee: show us, O Lord, Thy mercy, and grant us Thy salvation. |
Secret

BE appeased,
we beseech Thee, O Lord, by the prayers and sacrifices
of our humility: and where we lack pleading merits
of our own, do Thou, by Thine aid, assist us. Through
our Lord...

Trinity Sunday and on Sundays throughout the year.

VERE dignum et æquum est, æquum et salutáre,
nos tibi semper et ubique grátias ágere, Dómine sancte,
Pater omnipotens ætérne Deus. Qui cum unigénito Filio
tuo, et Spirítu Sancto, unus es Deus, unus es Dóminus:
non in unius singularitáte persónæ, sed in unius Trinitáte
substántiæ. Quod enim de tua glória revelánte te,
crédimus, hoc de Fílio tuo, hoc de Spíritu Sancto,
sine differéntia discrétionis sentímus. Ut in confessióne
veræ sempiternæque Deitátis, et in persónis proríetas,
et in esséntia únitas, et in majestáte adorétur æquálitas.
Quam laudant Angeli, atque Archángeli, Chérubim quoque
ac Seráphim: qui non cessant clamáre quotidie, una
voce dicéntes:

|
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, together with Thine
only-begotten Son, and the Holy Ghost, art one God,
one Lord: not in the oneness of a single Person, but
in the Trinity of One substance. For what, we believe
by Thy revelation of Thy glory, the same do we believe
of Thy Son, the same of the Holy Ghost, without difference
or separation. So that in confessing the true and
everlasting Godhead, distinction in persons, unity
in essence, and equality in majesty may be adored.
Which the Angels and Archangels, the Cherubim also
and Seraphim do praise: who cease not daily to cry
out, with one voice saying: |

of earth, and to love those of heaven. Through our
