Double Feast of Saint Augustine of Canterbury, Bishop and Confessor
WHITE Vestments
|
St. Augustine was a Roman monk, and was sent by Pope Saint Gregory the Great with
forty companions to England in order to convert that land to the Faith. The result far surpassed the expectations of the Pope, for God set his seal on
the preaching of St. Augustine by so great a number of miracles that the age of the apostles seemed to have come again. Ethelbert, the King of Kent,
together with the chief persons of his court, was the first to receive Baptism from the hands of the saint, who gave bodily health to the sick as well as salvation to their souls. By command of St. Gregory, Augustine was consecrated the first Bishop of the English by Virgilius of Arles. Returning to England, he consecrated bishops
for other Sees and established his own See, as Primate, at Canterbury, where he also built a monastery.
He died on May 26, 609, and was at once venerated as a saint.
This feast was placed on the Calendar by Pope Leo XIII.

Léctio Epístolæ beáti Pauli Apóstoli ad Thessalonicénses.
Fratres: Fidúciam habúimus in Deo nostro loqui ad vos Evangélium Dei in
multa sollicitúdine. Ex horátio enim nostra non de erróre, neque de
immundítia, neque in dolo, sed sicut probáti sumus a Deo, ut crederétur
nobis Evangélium: its lóquimur, non quasi homínibus placéntes, sed Deo qui
probat corda nostra. Neque enim aliquándo fúimus in sermóne adulatiónis,
sicut scitis: neque in occasióne avarítiæ: Deus testis est: nec quæréntes ab
homínibus glóriam, neque a vobis, neque ab aliis; cum possémus vobis óneri
esse ut Christi Apóstoli; sed facti sumus párvuli in médio vestrum, tamquam
si nutrix fóveat fílios suos. Ita desiderúntes vos, cupide volebámus trádere
vobis non solum Evangélium Dei, sed étiam ánimas nostras: quóniam caríssimi
nobis facti estis. Mémores enim estis, fratres, labóris nostri, et
fatigatiónis: nocte ac die operántes, ne quem vestrum gravarémus,
prædicávimus in vobis Evangélium Dei.
Deo Gratias.

Lesson from the Epistle of blessed Paul the Apostle to the Thessalonians.
Brethren, we had confidence in our God to speak unto you the gospel of God
in much carefulness. For our exhortation was not of error, nor of
uncleanness, nor in deceit. But as we were approved by God that the gospel
should be committed to us: even so we speak, not as pleasing men, but God,
Who proveth our hearts. For neither have we used at any time the speech of
flattery, as you know; nor taken an occasion of covetousness, God is
witness: nor sought we glory of men, neither of you, nor of others. Whereas
we might have been burdensome to you, as the apostles of Christ: but we
became little ones in the midst of you, as if a nurse should cherish her
children: so desirous of you, we would gladly impart unto you not only the
gospel of God, but also our own souls; because you were become most dear
unto us. For, you remember, brethren, our labor and toil: working night and
day lest we should be chargeable to any of you, we preached unto you the
gospel of God.
Thanks be to God.

Sequentia sancti Evangelii secundum Matthaeum
R.Gloria tibi, Domine
In illo témpore: Dixit Jesus discípulis suis: "Vigilate, quia nescitis qua hora Dominus vester venturus sit. Illud autem scitote, quoniam si sciret paterfamilias, qua hora fur venturus esset, vigiliaret utique, et non sineret perfodi domum suam. Ideo et vos nescitis hora, Filius hominis venturus est. Quis, putas est fidelis servus, et prudens, quem constituit dominus suus illiscibum in tempore? Beatus ille servus, quem, cum venerit dominus ejus, invenerit sic facientem. Amen dico vobis, quoniam super omnia bona sua constituet eum."
Laus tibi Christe.

The Lord be with you.
R. And with thy spirit.
The continuation of the holy Gospel according to Matthew.
R. Glory to Thee, O Lord
At that time, Jesus said to His disciples, "Watch ye, because you know not what hour your Lord will come. but this know ye, that , if the good man of the house knew at what hour the thief would come, he would certainly watch, and would not suffer his house to be broken open. Wherefore be you also ready: because at what hour you know not the Son of Man will come. Who, thinkest thou, is a faithful and wise servant, whom his lord hath appointed over his family, to give them meat in season? Blessed is that servant, whom when his lord shall come he shall find so doing. Amen I say to you, he shall place him over all his goods."
Praise be to Christ

PREFACE of the Apostles

Dominus vobiscum.
R. Et cum spiritu tuo.
Sursum corda.
R.Habemus ad Dominum.
Gratias agamus Domino Deo nostro.
R. Dignum et justum est.
Vere dignum et justum est, aequum et salutare. Te Domine supplicitur exorare, ut gregem tuum pastor aeterne, non deseras: sed per beatos Apostolos tuos continua protectione custodias. Ut iisdem rectoribus gubernetur, quos operis tui vicarious eidem contulisti praesse pastores. Et ideo cum Angelis et Archangelis, cum Thronis et Dominationibus, cumque omni militia caelestis exercitus, hymnum gloriae tuae canimus, sine fine dicentes:
SANCTUS, SANCTUS, SANCTUS...

R. It is meet and just.
It is truly meet and just, right and for our salvation, to entreat Thee humbly, O Lord, that Thou woulds not desert Thy flock. O everlasting Shepherd; but through Thy blessed Apostles, wouldst keep it under Thy constant protection; that it may be governed by those same rulers, whom as vicars of Thy work, Thou didst set over it to be its pastors. And therefore with Angels and Archangesl, with Thrones and Dominations, and with all the hosts of the heavenly army, we sing the hymn of The glory, evermore saying:
HOLY, HOLY, HOLY...
