Double of the Second Class Feast of Saint Bartholomew, Apostle


Red Vestments

Missa "Mihi autem nimis"

   In the Gospel of St. John, the Apostle Bartholomew is not mentioned among the Apostles, but it is stated that Philip and Nathaniel came to Jesus, and that Our Lord said of Nathaniel, "the Israelite in whom was no guile." In the list of the apostles in the other Gospels, Nathaniel is not mentioned, but after Philip is placed Bartholomew. The Redeemer chose all the apostles at once, and formed them from the beginning into a hierarchial group with St. Peter at their head, in order to show us that the rightful priesthood instituted by Christ is that which is derived in unbroken succession from the twelve apostles chosen by Our Savior, and being in communion with the See of Peter, is also in communion with the entire Catholic episcopate.

   Bartholomew is said to have preached the faith over a great Part of Asia and suffered martyrdom in Armenia, where he was flayed alive. His body was transferred many times, and now believed to repose in the Church of St. Bartholomew on an island in the Tiber.

    EPISTLE:   I Corinthians 12: 27-31
    Léctio Epístolæ beáti Pauli Apóstoli ad Corínthios. Fratres: Vos estis corpus Christi, et membra de membro. Et quosdam quidem pósuit Deus in Ecclésia primum apóstolis, secúndo prophétas, tértio doctóres, delude virtútes, exínde grátias curatiónum, opitulatiónes, gubernatiónes, génera linguárum, interpretatiónes sermónum. Num-quid omnes apóstoli? numquid omnes prophétæ? numquid omnes doctóres? numquid omnes virtútes? numquid omnes grátiam habent curatiónum? numquid omnes liguis loquúntur? numquid omnes interpretántur? Æmulámini autem charímata mehóra.
    Deo Gratias.
    Lesson from the Epistle of blessed Paul the Apostle to the Corinthians. Brethren, you are the body of Christ, and members of member. And God indeed hath set some in the Church, first apostles, secondly prophets, thirdly doctors, after that miracles, then the graces of healings, helps, governments, kinds of tongues, interpretations of speeches. Are all apostles? Are all prophets? Are all doctors? Are all workers of miracles? Have all the grace of healing? Do all speak with tongues? Do all interpret? But be ye zealous for the better gifts.
    Thanks be to God.

    R.Gloria tibi, Domine

    In illo tempore: Exiit Jesus in moutem oráre, et erat pernóctans in oratióne Dei. Et cum dies factus esset, vocávit discípulos suos, et elégit duódecim ex ipsis (quos et Apóstolos nominávit): Simónem, quem cognominávit Petrum, et Andréam fratrem ejus, Jacóbum et Joánnem, Philíppum et Bartholomæum, Matthæum et Thomam, Jacóbum Alphæi et Simónem, qui vocátur Zelótes, et Judam Jacóbi, et Judam Iscariótem, qui fuit próditor. Et descéndens cum illis, stetit in loco campéstri, et turba discipulórum ejus, et multitúdo copiósa plebis ab omni Judæa, et Jerúsalem, et marítima, et Tyri, et Sidónuis, qui vénerant ut audírent eum, et sanaréntur a languóribus suis. Et qui vexabántur a spirítibus immúndis rurabántur. Et omnis turba quærébat eum tángere: quia virtus de illo exíbat et sanábat omnes.
    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 went out into a mountain to pray, and He passed the whole night in the prayer of God: and when day was come, He called unto Him His disciples; and He chose twelve of them (whom also He named apostles), Simon whom He surnamed Peter, and Andrew his brother, James and John, Philip and Bartholomew, Matthew and Thomas, James the son of Alpheus, and Simon who is called Zelotes, and Jude the brother of James, and Judas Iscariot, who was the traitor. And coming down with them, He stood in a plain place, and the company of His disciples, and a very great multitude of people from all Judea and Jerusalem, and the seacoast, both of Tyre and Sidon, who were come to hear Him, and to be healed of their diseases. And they that were troubled with unclean spirits were cured. And all the multitude sought to touch Him, for virtue went out from Him, and healed all.
    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...
    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, 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...
