Epistle (Wis 5:16-20)
Léctio libri Sapiéntiæ
Lesson from the book of Wisdom
Iusti autem in perpétuum vivent, et apud Dóminum est merces eórum, et cogitátio illórum apud Altíssimum. Ideo accípient regnum decóris, et diadéma speciéi de manu Dómini: quóniam déxtera sua teget eos, et bráchio sancto suo deféndet illos. Accípiet armatúram zelus illíus, et armábit creatúram ad ultiónem inimicórum. Induet pro thoráce justítiam, et accípiet pro gálea judícium certum. Sumet scutum inexpugnábile æquitátem.
But the just live forever, and in the Lord is their recompense, and the thought of them is with the Most High. Therefore shall they receive the splendid kingdom and the beauteous diadem from the hand of the Lord - for He shall shelter them with His right hand, and protect them with His holy arm. He shall take His zeal for armor and He shall arm creation to requite the enemy; He shall don justice for a breastplate and shall wear sure judgment for a helmet; He shall take rectitude as an invincible shield.
Gradual (Ps 33:18-19)
Clamavérunt justi, et Dóminus exaudívit eos: et ex ómnibus tribulatiónibus eórum liberávit eos.
When the just cry out, the Lord hears them, and from all their distress He rescues them.
Juxta est Dóminus his, qui tribuláto sunt corde: et húmiles spíritu salvabit. Allelúja, allelúja.
The Lord is close to the brokenhearted, and those who are crushed in spirit He saves. Alleluia, alleluia.
Hæc est vera fratérnitas, quæ vicit mundi crímina: Christum secuta est, ínclita tenens regna cœléstia. Allelúja.
This is the true brotherhood which overcame the wickedness of the world; it followed Christ, holding fast to the glorious heavenly kingdom. Alleluia.
Gospel (Lk 6:17-23)
Sequéntia ++ sancti Evangélii secúndum Lucam
Continuation + of the Holy Gospel according to Luke
In illo témpore: Descéndens Jesus de monte, stetit in loco campéstri, et turba discipulórum ejus, et multitúdo copiósa plebis ab omni Judæa, et Jerúsalem, et marítima, et Tyri, et Sidónis, qui vénerant, ut audírent eum et sanaréntur a languóribus suis. Et, qui vexabántur a spirítibus immúndis, curabántur. Et omnis turba quærébat eum tángere: quia virtus de illo exíbat, et sanábat omnes. Et ipse, elevátis óculis in discípulos suos, dicebat: Beáti, páuperes: quia vestrum est regnum Dei. Beáti, qui nunc esurítis: quia saturabímini. Beáti, qui nunc fletis: quia ridébitis. Beáti éritis, cum vos óderint hómines, et cum separáverint vos et exprobráverint, et ejécerint nomen vestrum tamquam malum, propter Fílium hóminis. Gaudéte in illa die et exsultáte: ecce enim, merces vestra multa est in cœlo.
At that time, Jesus coming down from the mountain, took His stand on a level stretch, with a crowd of His disciples, and a great multitude of people from all Judea and Jerusalem, and the sea coast of Tyre and Sidon, who came to listen to Him and to be healed of their diseases. And those who were troubled with unclean spirits were cured. And all the crowd were trying to touch Him, for power went forth from Him and healed all. And He lifted up His eyes to His disciples, and said, Blessed are you poor, for yours is the kingdom of God. Blessed are you who hunger now, for you shall be satisfied. Blessed are you who weep now, for you shall laugh. Blessed shall you be when men hate you, and when they shut you out, and reproach you, and reject your name as evil, because of the Son of Man. Rejoice on that day and exult, for behold your reward is great in heaven.
Secret
Sanctórum tuórum nobis, Dómine, pia non desit orátio: quæ et múnera nostra concíliet, et tuam nobis indulgéntiam semper obtíneat.
Let not the gracious prayer of Your saints fail us, O Lord, but may it make our offerings acceptable to You and obtain for us your mercy.
Communion (Ps 78:2; 78:11)
Posuérunt mortália servórum tuórum, Dómine, escas volatilíbus cœli, carnes Sanctórum tuórum béstiis terræ: secúndum magnitúdinem bráchii tui pósside fílios morte punitórum.
They have given the corpses of Your servants, O Lord, as food to the birds of heaven, the flesh of Your faithful ones to the beasts of the earth. With Your great power free those doomed to death.
Postcommunion
Prótegat, quǽsumus, Dómine, pópulum tuum et participátio cœléstis indúlta convívii, et deprecátio colláta Sanctórum.
May the participation granted in Your heavenly banquet and the united prayers of the saints, we beseech You, O Lord, protect Your people.
Ad maiorem Dei gloriam
