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 exinanivit formam servi accípiens in similitúdinem hóminum
factus, et hábitu invéntus ut homo. Humiliávit semetípsum, factus obédiens
usque ad mortem, mortem áutem crucis. Propter quod et Deus exaltávit
illum: et donávit illi nomen, quod est super omne nomen: (hic
genufléctitur) ut in nómine Jesu omne genu flectátur cœléstium,
terréstrium, et infernórum: et omnis língua confiteátur, quia Dóminus
Jesus Christus in glória est Dei Patris.

Gospel
Continuation of the holy Gospel according to St. John, 12. 31-36.
[The Son of Man must be lifted up.]

IN illo témpore: Dixit Jesus turbis Judæorum: Nunc judícium est mundi:
nunc princeps hujus mundi ejicietur foras. Et ego si exaltátus fúero a
terra, ómnia traham ad meipsum. (Hoc autem dicébat, significans qua morte
esset moritúrus.) Respóndit ei turba: Nos audívimus ex lege, quia
Christus manet in æternum: 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.- Credo.
|
|
At that time: Jesus said to the multitudes of the Jews, Now is the
judgment of the world: now shall the prince of this world be cast out.
And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all things to Myself.
(Now this He said, signifying what death He should die.) The multitude
answered Him: We have heard out of the law, that Christ abideth for ever:
and how sayest Thou, The Son of man must be lifted up? Who is the Son of
man? Jesus therefore said to them, Yet a little while, the light is among
you. Walk whilst you have the light, that the darkness overtake you not.
And he that walketh in darkness knoweth not whither he goeth. Whilst you
have the light, believe in the light; that you may be the children of
light . -Creed.

VERE dignum et justum est, æquum et salutáre,
nos tibi semper et ubíque grátias ágere: Dómine sancte, Pater omnípotens,
æterne Deus. Qui salútem humáni generis 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.
Cœli, cœlorumque virtútes ac beáta Séraphim, sócia exsultatióne
concélebrant. Cum quibus et nostras voces, ut admítti júbeas, deprecámur,
súpplici confessióne 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 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:
