Ecce, óculi Dómini super timéntes eum, sperántes in misericórdia ejus, allelúja: ut erípiat a morte ánimas eórum: quóniam adjútor et protéctor noster est, allelúja, allelúja.
But see, the eyes of the Lord are upon those who fear Him, upon those who hope in His kindness, alleluia: to deliver them from death; for He is our help and our shield, alleluia, alleluia.

Exsultáte, justi, in Dómino: rectos decet collaudátio.
Exult, you just, in the Lord; praise from the upright is fitting.
Ecce, óculi Dómini super timéntes eum, sperántes in misericórdia ejus, allelúja: ut erípiat a morte ánimas eórum: quóniam adjútor et protéctor noster est, allelúja, allelúja.

Epistle
Léctio libri Sapiéntiæ
Lesson from the book of Wisdom
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, pœniténtiam 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.
The just shall stand with great assurance before their oppressors who set at nought their labors. Seeing this, these shall be shaken with dreadful fear, and amazed at the suddenness of the unlooked-for salvation. They shall say among themselves, rueful and groaning through anguish of spirit: These are they whom once we held as a laughingstock and as a type for mockery, fools that we were! Their life we deemed madness, and their death dishonored. See how they are accounted among the sons of God; how their lot is with the Saints!
Gradual
Allelúja, allelúja.
Alleluia, alleluia.
Hæc est vera fratérnitas, quæ vicit mundi crímina: Christum secúta est, ínclita tenens regna cœléstia. Allelúja.
This is the true brotherhood, which overcame the wickedness of the world; it followed Christ, attaining the noble kingdom of heaven. Alleluia.
Te Mártyrum candidátus laudat exércitus, Dómine. Allelúja.
The white-robed army of Martyrs praises You, O Lord. Alleluia.
Gospel
Sequéntia ++ sancti Evangélii secúndum Joánnem
Continuation + of the Holy Gospel according to John
Joannes 4:46-53
In illo témpore: Erat quidam régulus, cujus fílius infirmabátur Caphárnaum. Hic cum audísset, quia Jesus adveníret a Judǽa in Galilǽam, 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, non créditis. 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 fílius ejus víveret. Interrogábat ergo horam ab eis, in qua mélius habúerit. Et dixérunt ei: Quia heri hora séptima relíquit eum febris. Cognóvit ergo pater, quia illa hora erat, in qua dixit ei Jesus: Fílius tuus vivit: et crédidit ipse et domus ejus tota.
At that time, there was a certain royal official whose son was lying sick at Capharnaum. When he heard that Jesus had come from Judea into Galilee, he went to Him and besought 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 do not believe. The royal official said to Him, Sir, come down before my child dies. Jesus said to him, Go your way, your son lives. The man believed the word that Jesus spoke to him, and departed. But even as he was now going down, his servants met him and brought word saying that his son lived. He asked of them therefore the hour in which he had got better. And they told him, Yesterday, at the seventh hour, the fever left him. The father knew then that it was at that very hour in which Jesus had said to him, Your son lives. And he himself believed, and his whole household.
