Ferial Day for the Tuesday in the Fourth Week of Lent
Violet Vestments
Missa "Exaudi, Deus"
The Station is at the church built in the fourth century by Pope St. Damasus in honor of the celebrated deacon, the martyr St. Laurence. This sanctuary in the fifth century was one of the twenty-five parish churches of Rome. The palace adjoining contained the archives of the Church, in St. Damasus time; it is now the Pontifical Cancellatia. The Epistle carries us to Sinai. God has seen with indignation His people prostrated at the foot of the golden calf : He announced to Moses His intention of destroying this ungrateful race. Moses prayed and his prayer appeased the Divine anger. He descended from the mountain, chastised the idolaters and brought the Israelites to repentance. Let us do penance and God will hear our prayers, since we are henceforth part of the people of God.
The Gospel introduces us into the Temple where Jesus is accused by His perfidious enemies. He confounds them by appealing to the authority of Moses, but fails to change their hearts. Rejected by Jerusalem, He will found a new people, the church, which spreads over the whole world and will soon have the joy of seeing increased numbers of her children at the Paschal festivities. Let us rejoice that we are embers of this Church.
The prayer of Moses upon the idolatry of his people (Epistle) has been interpreted as an allusion to the schism that occurred in Rome on the election of Pope Damasus. This act of rebellion was like that which was evoked by the opposition that Our Lord encountered on the feast of Tabernacles (Gospel).

Lectii libri Exodi. In diebus illis: Locutus est autem Dominus ad Moysen, dicens : Vade, descende : peccavit populus tuus, quem eduxisti de terra Ægypti. Recesserunt cito de via, quam ostendisti eis : feceruntque sibi vitulum conflatilem, et adoraverunt, atque immolantes ei hostias, dixerunt : Isti sunt dii tui Israël, qui te eduxerunt de terra Ægypti. Rursumque ait Dominus ad Moysen : Cerno quod populus iste duræ cervicis sit : dimitte me, ut irascatur furor meus contra eos, et deleam eos, faciamque te in gentem magnam. Moyses autem orabat Dominum Deum suum, dicens : Cur, Domine, irascitur furor tuus contra populum tuum, quem eduxisti de terra Ægypti, in fortitudine magna, et in manu robusta ? Ne quæso dicant Ægyptii : Callide eduxit eos, ut interficeret in montibus, et deleret e terra : quiescat ira tua, et esto placabilis super nequitia populi tui. Recordare Abraham, Isaac, et Israël servorum tuorum, quibus jurasti per temetipsum, dicens : Multiplicabo semen vestrum sicut stellas cæli : et universam terram hanc, de qua locutus sum, dabo semini vestro, et possidebitis eam semper.
Deo Gratias.

Lesson from the Book of Exodus
And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying: Go, get thee down: thy people, which thou hast brought out of the land of Egypt, hath sinned.
They have quickly strayed from the way which thou didst shew them: and they have made to themselves a molten calf, and have adored it, and sacrificing victims to it, have said: These are thy gods, O Israel, that have brought thee out of the land of Egypt.
And again the Lord said to Moses: I see that this people is stiffnecked:
Let me alone, that my wrath may be kindled against them, and that I may destroy them, and I will make of thee a great nation.
But Moses besought the Lord his God, saying: Why, O Lord, is thy indignation enkindled against thy people, whom thou hast brought out of the land of Egypt, with great power, and with a mighty hand?
Let not the Egyptians say, I beseech Thee: He craftily brought them out, that He might kill them in the mountains, and destroy them from the earth: let Thy anger cease, and be appeased upon the wickedness of Thy people.
Remember Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, Thy servants, to whom Thou sworest by Thy own self, saying: I will multiply your seed as the stars of Heaven: and this whole land that I have spoken of, I will give to your seed, and you shall possess it for ever:
And the Lord was appeased from doing the evil which He had spoken against His people
Thanks be to God.

Exsurge, Domine, adjuva nos,

Dominus vobiscum.
R. Et cum spiritu tuo.
Sequentia sancti Evangelii secundum Joannem.
R.Gloria tibi, Domine
In illo tempore : Jam autem die festo mediante, ascendit Jesus in templum, et docebat. Et mirabantur Judæi, dicentes : Quomodo hic litteras scit, cum non didicerit ? Respondit eis Jesus, et dixit : "Mea doctrina non est mea, sed ejus qui misit me. Si quis voluerit voluntatem ejus facere, cognoscet de doctrina, utrum ex Deo sit, an ego a me ipso loquar. Qui a semetipso loquitur, gloriam propriam quærit ; qui autem quærit gloriam ejus qui misit eum, hic verax est, et injustitia in illo non est. Nonne Moyses dedit vobis legem : et nemo ex vobis facit legem ? Quid me quæritis interficere ?"
Respondit turba, et dixit : Dæmonium habes : quis te quæret interficere ? Respondit Jesus et dixit eis : Unum opus feci, et omnes miramini : propterea Moyses dedit vobis circumcisionem (non quia ex Moyse est, sed ex patribus), et in sabbato circumciditis hominem. Si circumcisionem accipit homo in sabbato, ut non solvatur lex Moysi : mihi indignamini quia totum hominem sanum feci in sabbato ? Nolite judicare secundum faciem, sed justum judicium judicate."
Dicebant ergo quidam ex Jerosolymis : Nonne hic est, quem quærunt interficere ? Et ecce palam loquitur, et nihil ei dicunt. Numquid vere cognoverunt principes quia hic est Christus ? Sed hunc scimus unde sit : Christus autem cum venerit, nemo scit unde sit. Clamabat ergo Jesus in templo docens, et dicens :"Et me scitis, et unde sim scitis : et a me ipso non veni, sed est verus qui misit me, quem vos nescitis. Ego scio eum : quia ab ipso sum, et ipse me misit." Quærebant ergo eum apprehendere : et nemo misit in illum manus, quia nondum venit hora ejus. De turba autem multi crediderunt in eum, et dicebant : Christus cum venerit, numquid plura signa faciet quam quæ hic facit ?
Laus tibi Christe.

The Lord be with you.
R. And with thy spirit.
The continuation of the holy Gospel according to John.
R. Glory to Thee, O Lord
At that time about the midst of the feast, Jesus went up into the temple and taught.
And the Jews wondered, saying: How doth this man know letters, having never learned?
16 Jesus answered them and said: "My doctrine is not Mine, but His that sent Me.
If any man will do the will of Him, he shall know of the doctrine, whether it be of God, or whether I speak of myself.
He that speaketh of himself seeketh his own glory: but he that seeketh the glory of Him that sent him, he is true and there is no injustice in him.
Did not Moses give you the law, and yet none of you keepeth the law?
Why seek you to kill Me?" The multitude answered and said: Thou hast a devil. Who seeketh to kill Thee?
Jesus answered and said to them: "One work I have done: and you all wonder.
Therefore, Moses gave you circumcision (not because it is of Moses, but of the fathers): and on the sabbath day you circumcise a man.
If a man receive circumcision on the sabbath day, that the law of Moses may not be broken: are you angry at Me, because I have healed the whole man on the sabbath day?
Judge not according to the appearance: but judge just judgment."
Some therefore of Jerusalem said: Is not this he whom they seek to kill?
And behold, he speaketh openly: and they say nothing to Him. Have the rulers known for a truth that this is the Christ?
But we know this man, whence He is: but when the Christ cometh, no man knoweth, whence He is.
Jesus therefore cried out in the temple, teaching and saying: "You both know Me, and you know whence I am. And I am not come of Myself: but He that sent Me is true, Whom you know not.
I know Him, because I am from Him: and He hath sent Me."
They sought therefore to apprehend Him: and no man laid hands on Him, because His hour was not yet come.
But of the people many believed in Him and said: When the Christ cometh, shall He do more miracles than this man doth?
Praise be to Christ

And he put a new canticle into my mouth, a song to our God. Many shall see, and shall fear: and they shall hope in the Lord.
