Rogation Monday


Missa "Exaudivit"

Violet or Purple Vestments


   Station for the first Rogation day is at St. Mary Major. Earthquakes and other calamities afflicted the diocese of Vienne in Dauphiné (France) in the fifth century, and St. Mamertus, who was bishop of that diocese, instituted a penitential procession with public supplications on the Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday before Ascension Day. In 816, Pope Leo III introduced it into Rome, and soon after it became a general observance throughout the Church. The Litany of the Saints, the psalms and prayers sung during the procession on these days are supplications: hence the name of Rogation days (rogare, to ask) applied to them. The object of these "rogation” supplications is to appease the anger of God and avert the scourges of His justice, and to pray for the harvest. With such blasphemous works like The Da Vinci Code poisoning society, we need to offer these prayers to appease the obvious and just wrath of the Father.

   A similar function is observed on April 25th, on the Feast of St. Mark, but this of Roman origin. It is called the Greater Litanies in contrast to the Lesser Litanies of the Rogation Days: but in practice there is no difference between them. For the prayers of Rogation see Lesser Litanies

EPISTLE: James 5: 16-20
Léctlo Epístolæ beáti Jacóbi Apóstoli. Caríssimi: Confitémini altérutrum peccáta vestra, et orate pro ínvicem, ut salvémini: multum enim valet deprecátio justi assídua. Elías homo erat símilis nobis passíbilis: et oratióne orávit ut non plúeret super terram, et non pluit annos tres, et menses sex. Et rursum orávit: et cælum dedit plúviam, et terra dedit fructum suum. Fratres mei, si quis ex vobis erráverit a veritáte, et convérterit quis eum: scire debet, quóniam qui convérti fécerit peccatórem ab erróre viæ sum, salvábit ánimam ejus a morte, et opériet multitúdinem peccató Deo Gratias.
Lesson from the Epistle of blessed James the Apostle. Dearly beloved, Confess your sins one to another, and pray for one another, that you may be saved. For the continual prayer of a just man availeth much. Elias was a man passible like unto us; and with prayer he prayed that it might not rain upon the earth, and it rained not for three years and six months: and he prayed again, and the heaven gave rain, and the earth brought forth her fruit. My brethren, if any of you err from the truth, and one convert him, he must know that he who causeth a sinner to be converted from the error of his way shall save his soul from death, and shall cover a multitude of sins. Thanks be to God.

ALLELUIA
Allelúja. V. (Ps. 117: 1) Confìtémini Dómino, quóniam bonus: quóniam in sæculum misericórdia ejus.
Alleluia. V. (Ps. 117: 1) Confess ye to the Lord, for He is good, for His mercy endureth forever.

GOSPEL:   Luke 11: 5-13
Dominus vobiscum.
R. Et cum spiritu tuo.
Sequentia sancti Evangelii secundum Lucam
R.Gloria tibi, Domine

In illo témpore: Dixit Jesus discípulis suis: "Quis vestrum habébit amícum, et ibit ad illum média nocte, et dicet illi: Amíce, cómmoda mihi tres panes, quóniam amícus meus venit de via ad me, et non hábeo quod ponam ante illum: et ille deíntus respóndens, dicat: Noli mihi moléstus esse, jam óstium clausum est, et púeri mei mecum sunt in cubíli: non pos­sum súrgere, et dare tibi. Et si ille perseveráverit pulsans: dico vobis, etsi non dabit illi surgens, eo quod amícus ejus sit, propter improbitátem tamen ejus surget, et dabit illi quotquot habet necessários. Et ego dico vobis: Pétite, et dábitur vobis: quærite, et inveniétes: pulsáte, et aperiétur vobis. Omnis enim, qui petit, áccipit: et qui quærit, invenit: et pulsánti aperiétur. Quis autem ex vobis patrem petit panem, numquid lápidem dabit illi? Aut piscem: numquid pro pisce serpéntem dabit illi: Aut si petíerit ovum: numquid pórriget illi scorpiónem? Si ergo vos cum sitis mali, nostis bona data dare fíliis vestris: quanto magis Pater vester de Cælo dabit spíritum bonum peténtibus se?"
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, "Which of you shall have a friend, and shall go to him at midnight, and shall say to him, friend, lend me three loaves, because a friend of mine is come off his journey to me, and I have not what to set before him; and he from within should answer and say, Trouble me not, the door is now shut, and my children are with me in bed; I cannot rise and give thee. Yet if he shall continue knocking, I say to you, although he will not rise and give him because he is his friend, yet because of his importunity he will rise, and give him as many as he needeth. And I say to you, Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and you shall find; knock, and it shall be opened to you. For every one that asketh, receiveth; and he that seeketh, findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened. And which of you if he ask his father bread, will he give him a stone? or a fish, will he for a fish give him a serpent? Or if he shall ask an egg, will he reach him a scorpion? If you then being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father from Heaven give the good Spirit to them that ask Him?"
Praise be to Christ

PREFACE   for Eastertide


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, æqum et salutáre, te quidem Dómine omni témpore, sed in hac potíssimum die, gloriósius prædicáre, cum Pascha nostrum immolátus est Christus. Ipse enim verus est Agnus qui ábstulit peccáta mundi. Qui mortem nostram moriéndo destrúxit, et vitam resurgéndo reparávit. Et ídeo cum Angelis et Archángelis, cum Thronis et Dóminatiónibus, cumque omni milítia cæléstis exércitus, hymnum glóriæ tuæ cánimus sine fine dicentes:
SANCTUS, SANCTUS, SANCTUS...

The Lord be with you.
R. And with thy spirit.
Lift up your hearts.
R.We have lifted them up to the Lord.
Let us give thanks to the Lord our God.
R. It is meet and just.

It is truly meet and just, right and for our salvation, at all times to praise Thee, O Lord, but more gloriously especially at this time above others when Christ our Pasch was sacrificed. For He is the true Lamb Who hath taken away the sins of the world: Who by dying hath destroyed our death: and by rising again hath restored us to life. And therefore with Angels and Archangels, with Thrones and Dominations, and with all the hosts of the heavenly army, we sing the hymn of Thy glory, evermore saying:
HOLY, HOLY, HOLY...
