Double Feast of Saints John and Paul, Martyrs
RED Vestments
|
Sts. John and Paul were both Christian officers in the army under Julian the
Apostate. They suffered martyrdom in their own house, on the Coelian Hill.
They spent ten days allowed them to deliberate about renouncing their
devotion to Christ in distributing all their goods to the poor. The fact
that, unlike other martyrs who were buried outside the walls, they had their
place of burial in the very heart of the Eternal City, was looked upon by
the early Christians as a special honor granted to them and to Rome by
Divine Providence. Archeological discoveries have fully confirmed the truth
of the Acts of their martyrdom. Their dwelling-house, the place of their
execution, the graves, and important paintings have been brought to light.
The two brothers when on earth possessed one home and one Faith, and now in
Heaven possess the same immortal crown.
There is also a commemoration within the Octave of the Nativity of Saint John the Baptist.

Hi viri misericórdiæ sunt, quorum pietátes non defuérunt: cum sémine eórum
pérmanent bona, hæréditas sancta nepótes eórum, et in testaméntis stetit
semen eórum, et fílii eórum propter illos usque in ætérnum manent: semen
eórum et glória eórum non derelinquétur Córpora ipsórum in pace sepúlta

Lesson from the Book of Wisdom. These are men of mercy whose godly deeds have not failed. Good things continue with their seed; their posterity are a holy inheritance, and their
seed hath stood in the covenants; and their children for their sakes remain forever: their seed and their glory shall not be forsaken. Their bodies are buried in peace, and their name liveth unto generation and generation. Let the people show forth their wisdom, and the Church declare Her praise.
Thanks be to God.

Ecce quam bonum, et quam júcundum, habitáre fratres, in unum.
V. Sicut unguéntum in cápite, quod descéndit in barbam, barbam Aaron.
Allelúja, alIelúja. V. Hæc est vera fratérnitas quæ vicit mundi crímina:
Christum secúta est, ínclyta tenens regna cæléstia. Allelúja.

Behold how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity. V. It is like the Precious ointment on the head, that ran down upon the beard, the beard of Aaron. Alleluia, alleluia. V. This is the true brotherhood which overcame the wickedness of the world: it followed Christ, attaining the noble kingdom of
heaven. Alleluia.

Dominus vobiscum.
R. Et cum spiritu tuo.
Sequentia sancti Evangelii secundum Lucam.
R.Gloria tibi, Domine In illo témpore: Dixit Jesus discípulis suis: "Atténdite a ferménto
pharisæórum, quod est hypócrisis. Nihil autem opértam est, quod non revelétur: neque abscónditum, quod non sciátur. Quóniam, quæ in ténebris dixístis in lúmine dicéntur: et quod in aurem locúti estis in cubículis, prædicábitur in tectis. Dico autem vobis amícis meis: Ne terrámini ab his,
qui occídunt corpus, et post hæc non habent ámplius quid fáciant. Osténdam autem vobis quem timeátis: timéte eum qui, postquam occíderet, habet potestátem míttere in gehénnam. Ita dico vobis: hunc timéte. Nonne quinque pásseres véneunt dipóndio, et unus ex illis non est in oblivióne coram Deo?
Sed et capílli cápitis vestri omnes numeráti sunt. Nolíte ergo timére: multis passéribus pluris estis vos. Dico autem vobis: Omnis quicúmque conféssus fúerit me coram homínibus, et Fílius hóminis confitébitur illum coram Angelis Dei."
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, "Beware ye of the leaven of the
Pharisees, which is hypocrisy. For there is nothing covered that shall not be revealed; nor hidden, that shall not be known. For whatsoever things you have spoken in darkness, shall be published in the light; and that which you have spoken in the ear, in the chambers, shall be preached on the house-tops. And I say to you, My friends, be not afraid of them who kill the body, and after that have no more that they can do. But I will show you whom ye shall fear: fear ye him who after he hath killed, hath power to cast into hell. Yea, I say to you, fear him. Are not five sparrows sold for two farthings, and not one of them is forgotten before God? Yea, the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear not therefore; you are of more value than many sparrows. And I say to you, whosoever shall confess Me before men, him shall the Son of Man also confess before the angels of God."
Praise be to Christ
