EMBER FRIDAY

Day of Fast and Abstinence

Missa "Repleátur os meum"

Red Vestments

   Station at the Church of the Twelve Holy Apostles The stational Mass was at one time placed at Sts. John and Paul, but in the earlier days was held where the Roman Missal now assigns it. The spirit in which the Church solemnizes her feasts is one of intense spiritual joy. The Introit today contains, as it were, the summary of a great ascetic treatise on Christian joy: "My lips shall rejoice when I shall sing to thee, alleluia, alleluia"; this is the inward consequence of this prayer of love. In the Postcommunion we pray that the sacred mysteries of the altar, which we have just celebrated in obedience to Our Lord's command, may become a remedy which shall strengthen our weakness in the hard trials that beset us.

    Resources: We are grateful to Friends of Our Lady of Fatima for providing the Propers for the faithful. Sources: Saint Andrew Daily Missal and the Marian Missal , 1945

EPISTLE: Joel, 2, 23, 24, 26, 27
Léctlo Joélis Propnétæ. Hæc dicit Dóminus Deus: Exsultáte, fílii Sion, et lætámini in Dómino Deo vestro: quia dedit vobis doctórem justítiæ, et descéndere fáciet ad vos imbrem matutínum et serótinum sicut in princípio. Et implebúntur áreæ fruménto, et redundábunt torculária vino et oleo. Et comedétis vescéntes, et saturabímini, et laudábilis nomen Dómini Dei vestri, qui fecit mirabília vobíscum: et non confundétur pópulus meus in sempitérnum. Et sciétis quia in médio Israël ego sum: et ego Dóminus Deus vester, et non est ámplius: et non confundétur pópulus meus in ætérnum: ait Dóminus omnípotens. Deo Gratias.
Lesson from Joel the Prophet. Thus saith the Lord God: O children of Sion, rejoice, and be joyful in the Lord your God; because He hath given you a teacher of justice, and He will make the early and the latter rain to come down to you, as in the beginning: and the floors shall be filled with wheat, and the presses shall overflow with wine and oil. And you shall eat in plenty, and shall be filled; and you shall praise the name of the Lord your God, Who hath done wonders with you: and My people shall not be confounded for ever. And you shall know that I am in the midst of Israel: and I am the Lord your God, and there is none besides; and My people shall not be confounded forever; said the Lord almighty. Thanks be to God.

Thou the soul's delightful guest,
Sweet refreshment here below.
In our labor rest most sweet,
Pleasant coolness in the heat,
Solace in the midst of woe.
O most blessed Light divine,
Shine within these hearts of Thine,
And our inmost being fill.
Where Thou art not, man hath nought,
Nothing good in deed or thought,
Nothing free from taint of ill.
Heal our wounds, our strength renew,
On our dryness pour Thy dew,
Wash the stains of guilt away.
Bend the stubborn heart and will,
Melt the frozen, warm the chill,
Guide the steps that go astray.
On Thy faithful who adore,
And confess Thee evermore,
In Thy sevenfold gifts descend.
Give them virtue's sure reward,
Give them Thy salvation, Lord,
Give them joys that never end.
Amen. Alleluia.

GOSPEL:   Luke 5: 17-26
Dominus vobiscum.
R. Et cum spiritu tuo.
Sequentia sancti Evangelii secundum Lucam
R.Gloria tibi, Domine

In illo témpore: Factum est in una diérum, et Jesus sedébat docens. Et erant Pharisæi sedéntes, et legis doctóres, qui vénerant ex omni castéllo Galilææ, et Judææ, et Jerúsalem: et virtus Dómini erat ad sanándum eos. Et ecce viri portántes in lecto hóminem, qui erat paralýticus: et quærébant eum inférre, et pónere ante eum. Et non inveniéntes qua parte illum inférrent præ turba, ascendérunt supra tectum, et per tégulas summisérunt eum cum lecto in médiáta tua. "Homo, remittuntur tibi peccata tua." Et coepérunt cogitáre scribae; et pharisæi, dicéntes: Quis est hic, qui lóquitur blasphémias? Quis potest dimíttere peccáta, nisi solus Deus? Ut cognóvit autem Jesus cogitatiónes eórum respóndens, dixit ad illos: "Quid cogitátis in cordibus vestris? Quid est facílius dícere: Dimittúntur tibi peccáta, an dícere: Surge, et ámbula? Ut autem sciátis qui Fílius hóminis habet potestátem in terra dimitténdi peccáta (ait paralýtico): Tibi dico, surge, tolle lectum tuum, et vade in domum tuam. Et conféstim constírgens coram illis, tulit lectum, in quo jacébat: et abiit in domum suam, magníficans Deum. Et stupor apprehéndit omnes, et magnifìcábant Deum. Et repléti sunt timbre, dicéntes: Quia vídimus mirabília hódie. "
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, it came to pass, on a certain day that Jesus sat teaching; and there were pharisees and doctors of the law sitting by that were come out of every town of Galilee, and Judea, and Jerusalem, and the power of the Lord was to heal them. And behold men brought in a bed a man who had the palsy, and they sought means to bring him in, and to lay him before Him; and when they could not find by what way they might bring him in, because of the multitude, they went up upon the roof, and let him down through the tiles with his bed into the midst before Jesus. And when He saw their faith, He said, "Man, thy sins are forgiven thee: and the scribes and pharisees began to think, saying, Who is this who speaketh blasphemies? Who can forgive sins, but God alone? And when Jesus knew their thoughts, answering, He saith to them, "What is it you think in your hearts? Which is easier to say? Thy sins are forgiven thee, or to say, Arise and walk? But that you may know that the Son of man hath power on earth to forgive sins(to the crippled man) I say to thee, Arise, take up thy bed, and go into thy house." And immediately rising up before them, he took up the bed on which he lay and he went away to his own house, glorifying God. And all were astonished, and they glorified God; and they were filled with fear, saying, We have seen wonderful things today.
Praise be to Christ
