TWENTIETH SUNDAY AFTER PENTECOST

Green
Semi-Double

The Liturgy shows us that our misfortunes are caused by our unfaithfulness in conforming to the will of God. Let us beseech the Lord, through the prayers of Holy Church, to pardon our sins, so that we may serve Him with a quiet and trustful heart, always obeying His precepts.

Introit (Dan. 3. 31, 29, 35)

OMNIA, quæ fecísti nobis, Dómine, in vero judício fecisti, quia peccávimus tihi, et mandátis tuis non ohedívimus: sed da glóriam nómini tuo, et fac nobíscum secúndum multitúdinem misericórdiæ tuæ. Psalm. 1. 118. 1. Beáti immaculáti in via: qui ámhulant in lege Dómini. Glória Patri...-Omnia, quæ fecisti nobis...

 

 

ALL that Thou hast done to us, O Lord, Thou hast done in true judgment: because we have sinned against Thee, and we have not obeyed Thy commandments: but give glory to Thy Name, and deal with us according to the multitude of Thy mercy. Ps. 118. 1.
Blessed are the undefiled in the way; who walk in the law of the Lord. Glory be to the Father...—All that...

Epistle

Lesson from the Epistle of Blessed Paul the Apostle to the Ephesians, 5. 15-21.

[Let us give thanks always for all things in the Name of our Lord Jesus Christ, to God, being subject one to another in the fear of Christ.]


FRATRES: Vidéte quómodo caute ambulétis: non quasi insipiéntes, sed ut sapiéntes, re
diméntes tempus, quóniam dies mali sunt. Proptérea nolíte fíeri imprudéntes, sed intelligéntes, quæ sit volúntas Dei. Et nolíte inebriári vino, in quo est luxúria: sed implémini Spíritu Sancto, loquéntes vobismetípsis in psalmis, et hymnis, et cánticis spirituálibus, cantántes, et psalléntes in córdibus vestris Dómino: grátias agéntes semper pro ómnibus, in nómine Dómini nostri Jesu Christi, Deo et Patri. Subjécti invicem in timóre Christi.

 
BRETHREN: See how you walk circumspectly, not as unwise, but as wise; redeeming the time, because the days are evil. Wherefore, become not unwise, but understanding what is the will of God. And be not drunk with wine, wherein is luxury: but be ye filled with the Holy Spirit, speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns, and spiritual canticles, singing and making melody in your hearts to the Lord: giving thanks always for all things, in the Name of our Lord Jesus Christ, to God and the Father ; being subject one to another in the fear of Christ.
Gradual (Ps. 144. 15, 16)

OCULI ómnium in te sperant, Dómine: et tu das illis escam in témpore opportúno. Aperis tu manum tuam, et imples omne ánimal benedictióne.

Allelúia, allelúia. (Ps. 107. 2). Parátum cor meum, Deus, parátum cor meum: cantábo, et psallamtibi, glória mea. Allelúia.

 

 

THE eyes of all hope in Thee, O Lord; and Thou givest them meat in due season. Thou openest Thy hand, and fillest every living creature with Thy blessing.

Alleluia, alleluia. (Ps. 107. 2). My heart is ready, O God, my heart is ready: I will sing, and will give praise to Thee, my glory. Alleluia.

Gospel

Continuation of the holy Gospel according to St. John, 4. 46-53.

[Healing of the ruler's son at Capharnaum. The reward of faith in our Lord.]


IN illo tempore: Erat quidam régulus, cujus fílius infirmabátur Caphárnaum. Hic cum audísset, quia Jesus adveníret a Judæa in Galilæam, ábiit ad eum, et rogábat eum ut descénderet, et sanáret fílium ejus: incipiébat enim mori. Dixit ergo Jesus ad eum: Nisi signa et prodígia vidéritis, noncréditis. Dicit ad eum régulus: Dómine, descénde priúsquam moriátur fílius meus. Dicit ei Jesus: Vade, fílius tuus vivit. Crédidit homo sermóni, quem dixit ei Jesus, et ibat. Jam autem eo descendénte, servi occurrérunt ei, et nuntiavérunt dicéntes, quia filius ejus víveret. Interrogábat ergo horam ab eis, in qua mélius habúerit. Et dixérunt ei: Quia heri hora séptima, relíquit eum febris. Cognóvit ergo pater, quiailla hora erat, in qua dixit ei Jesus: Fílius tuus vivit: et crédidit ipse, et domus ejus tota. - Credo.

 


AT that time, there was a certain ruler whose son was sick at Capharnaum. He having heard that Jesus was come from Judæa into Galilee, went to Him, and prayed Him to come down, and heal his son; for he was at the point of death. Jesus therefore said to him: Unless you see signs and wonders, you believe not. The ruler saith to Him: Lord, come down before my son die. Jesus saith to him : Go thy way, thy son liveth. The man believed the word which Jesus said to him, and went his way. And as he was going down, his servants met him, and they brought word, saying, that his son lived. He asked therefore of them the hour wherein he grew better. And they said to him : Yesterday, at the seventh hour the fever left him. The father therefore knew that it was at the same hour that Jesus said to him: Thy son liveth; and himself believed, and his whole house . - Credo.

Offertory (Ps. 136. 1)

SUPER flúmina Babylónisillic sédimus, et fléimus: dum recordarémur tui, Sion.

 

 

UPON the rivers of Babylon there we sat and wept; when we remembered thee, O Sion.

Preface of the Most Holy Trinity

On 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:

Communion (Ps. 118. 49-50)

MEMENTO verbi tui servo tuo, Dómine, in quo mihi spem dedísti: hæc me consoláta est in humilitáte mea.

 

 

BE Thou mindful of Thy word to Thy servant, O Lord, in which Thou hast given me hope: this hath comforted me in my humiliation.
