Semi-Double Feast of Saint Raymond of Penafort, Confessor
WHITE Vestments
Missa "Os justi"
Born in 1175 of a noble Spanish family, Raymond, at the age of twenty, taught philosophy in Barcelona with marvelous success. Ten years later his rare abilities won for him the degree of Doctor in the University of Bologna, accompanied by many high dignities. A tender devotion to our Blessed Lady, which had increased within him from childhood, determined him in his mature years to renounce all his honors and to enter Her Order of Saint Dominic.
There a vision of the Mother of Mercy instructed him to cooperate with his penitent Saint Peter Nolasco, and with James, King of Aragon, in founding the Order of Our Lady of Ransom for the redemption of captives. He began this great work by preaching a crusade against the Moors, and by rousing to penance the Christians enslaved in both soul and body by the infidels. The king of Aragon, a man of great qualities but governed by a ruling passion, often took Saint Raymond with him on his voyages. On one such occasion, when they were visiting the island of Majorca, he was told by the Saint he must put away at once the cause of his sin. When he delayed, Raymond asked for leave to depart, since he could not live in company with sin. The king refused and under pain of death, forbade his conveyance by any ship. The Saint replied to the sailors, “If a mortal king has given such a command, we will see that the Eternal King has disposed otherwise.” Full of faith, he went out on a rock extending into the sea, and spread his cloak upon the waters. Tying one end of it to his staff as a sail, he made the sign of the cross and fearlessly stepped upon it. In six hours he was borne to Barcelona where, gathering up his cloak, which was dry, he made his way to his monastery.
The king, vanquished by this miracle, to which many were witness, became a sincere penitent and the disciple of the Saint until his death. In 1230, Pope Gregory IX summoned Raymond to Rome, made him his confessor and grand penitentiary, and directed him to compile “The Decretals,” a collection of the scattered decisions of the Popes and Councils. Having refused the archbishopric of Tarragon, Raymond was in 1238 chosen to be the third General of his Order, which post he again succeeded in resigning, pleading his advanced age. His first act when set free was to resume his labors among the infidels, and in 1256 Raymond, then eighty-one, was able to report that ten thousand Saracens had received Baptism. He died at the age of one hundred years, in 1275. He is considered the patron saint of canon lawyers.
Saint Emerentiana was the foster-sister of St. Agnes who, after Agnes gave her life rather than being defiled, followed the holy example and gave her life as a bride of Christ in 304. There is a commemoration of her at the Collect, Secret and Postcommunion for today's Holy Mass.

Lectio libri Sapientiae, Dilectus memoria in benedictione est. SSimilem illum fecit in Gloria sanctorum, et magnificavit eum in timore inmicorum, et in verbis suis monstra placivit. Glorificavit illum in conspectus regum, et jussit illi oram populo suo, et ostendit illi gloriam suam. In fide, et lenitate ipsius, sanctum fecit illum, et elegit eum ex omni carne. Audivit enim eum, et vocem ipsius, sanctum fecit illum, et elegit eum, et vocem ipsius, et induxit illum in nubem. Et dedit illi coram praecepta, et lagem vitae et disciplinae.
Deo Gratias.

Lesson from the Book of Wisdom. Beloved of God and men, whose memory is in benediction. He made him like the saints in glory, and magnified him in the fear of his enemies, and with his words he made prodigies to cease. He glorified him in the sight of kings, and gave him commandments in the sight of his people, and showed him His glory. He sanctified him in his faith and meekness, and chose him out of all flesh. For He heard him and his voice, and brought him into a cloud. And He gave him commandments before His face, and a law of life and instruction.
Thanks be to God.

Dominus vobiscum.

Sequentia sancti Evangelii secundum Lucam.
R.Gloria tibi, Domine
In illo tempore: Dixit Jesus discipulis suis: 'Sint lumbi vistri praecincti, et lucrenae ardentes in minibus vestestris, et vos similes hominibus ex spectantibus dominum suum, quando revertatur a nuptiis ut, cum veneerit, et pulsaveverit confestim apperiant ei. Beati servi illi, quos, cum venerit dominus, inveneerit vigilantes: amen dico vobis, quod praecinget se, et faciet illos discumbere, et transiens nimistrabit illis. Et si venerit in secunda vigilia, et si in tertia vigilia venerit, et inta invenerit, beati sunt servi illi. Hoc autem sciote quoniam si sciret paterfamilias qua hora fur veniret, vigilaret uitique et non sineret perfodi domum suam. Et vos estote parati quia qu hora non putatis, Filius hominis veniet.'
Laus tibi Christe.

The Lord be with you.
R. And with thy spirit.
The continuation of the holy Gospel according to Luke.
R. Glory to Thee, O Lord
At that time, Jesus said to His disciples: 'Let your loins be girt and lamps burning in your hands, and you yourselves like to men who wait for their lord when he shall return from the wedding: tht when he commeth and knocketh, they may open to him immediately. Blessed are those servants whom the lord, when he cometh, shall find watching: Amen I say to you that he will gird himself and make them sit down to meat, and passing will minister unto them. And if he shall come in the second watch, or come in the third watch, and find them so, blessed are those servants. But this know ye, that if the householder did know at what hour the thief would come, he would surely watch, and would not suffer his house to be broken open. Be you then also ready, for at what hour you think not the Son of man will come.'
Praise be to Christ
