Feria Mass of the Twelfth Sunday After Pentecost

Missa "Deus in adjutórìum"

GREEN Vestments

        We have been initiated into spiritual life by the Sacrament of Baptism and strengthened, perfected, by the Sacrament of Confirmation. The Feast of Pentecost has celebrated the efficaciousness of Baptism and Confirmation: the graces and fruits given by the Holy Ghost.The Church recalls in the Liturgy today the duty of charity which derives therefrom. The law of Our Lord Jesus Christ is the perfect development of the Law of Moses as the Epistle points out. Let us not follow a pharisaical interpretation of the law which reduces our religious duties to a few outward practices. "The letter killeth, the spirit quickeneth."

        The Gospel of St. Luke treats the parable of the Good Samaritan and the command from Our Lord to go and do likewise in loving our neighbor for love of God.

        Today is also the feast of the holy martyrs St. Cyriacus, Largus and Smaragdus. Cyriacus was a holy deacon of Rome under Popes St. Marcellinus and Marcellus. With Largus, Smaragdus, and about twenty others he was crowned with martyrdom in 303, in the persecution of Diocletian. The occasion of the translation of their remains many years later to a church dedicated to them led to the institution of a festival in their memory. St. Cyriacus is invoked for diseases of the eye, and against diabolical possessions.

      We want to thank the Friends of Our Lady of Fatima for expediting these resources of the Propers. Sources: Saint Andrew Daily Missal and the Marian Missal , 1945

Deus in adjutórìum meum inténde: Dómine, ad adjuvéndum me festina: confundántur, et revereántur inimíci mei, qui quærunt ánimam meam.(Ps. 69: 4) Avertántur retrórsum, et erubéscant, qui cógitant mihi mala. v.

EPISTLE:   II Corinthians 3:


Léctio Epístolæ beáti Pauli Apóstoli ad Corinthios. Fratres: Fidúciam talem habémus per Christum ad Deum: non quod sufficíéntes simus cogitáre áliquid a nobis: sed sufficiéntia nostra ex Deo est: qui et idóneos nos fecit minístros novi testaménti, non littera, sed spíritu: líttera enim occídit, spíritus autem vivíficat. Quod si ministrátio mortis lítteris deformáta in lapídus, fuit in glória, ita ut non possent inténdere fílii Israël in fáciem Móysi, propter glóriam vultus ejus, quæ evacuátur: quomodo non magis ministrátio Spíritus erit in glórià? Nam si ministrátio damnatíónis glória est: multo magis abúndat ministérium justitiæ in glórìa.
Deo Gratias.

Lesson from the Epistle of Blessed Paul the Apostle to the Corinthians. Brethren, Such confidence we have through Christ towards God. Not that we are sufficient to think of ourselves, as of ourselves: but our sufficiency is from God. Who also hath made us fit ministers of the new testament, not in the letter, but in the spirit: for the letter killeth, but the spirit quickeneth. Now if the ministration of death, engraven with letters upon stones, was glorious, so that the children of Israel could not steadfastly behold the face of Moses, for the glory of his countenance which is made void: how shall not the ministration of the spirit be rather in glory? For if the ministration of condemnation be glory, much more the ministration of justice aboundeth in glory.
Thanks be to God.

GRADUAL:  Psalm 33: 2, 3


Benedícam Dóminum in omni témpore: semper laus ejus in ore meo. V. In Dómino laudábitur ánima mea: áudiant mansuéti, et læténtur. Allelúja, allelúja. V. (Ps. 87: 2) Dómine Deus salútis mese, in die clamávi et nocte coram te. Allelúja,

I will bless the Lord at all times: His praise shall ever be in my mouth. V. In the Lord shall my soul be praised: let the meek hear, and rejoice. Alleluia, alleluia. V. (Ps. 87: 2) O Lord, the God of my salvation, I have cried in the day, and in the night before Thee. Alleluia.

GOSPEL:    Luke 10: 23-37


Dominus vobiscum.
R. Et cum spiritu tuo.
Sequentia sancti Evangelii secundum Lucam.
R.Gloria tibi, Domine

In illo témpore: Dixit Jesus æ discípulis suis. "Beáti óculi, qui vident quæ vos vidétis. Dico enim vobls, quod multi prophétæ, et reges voluérunt vidére quæ vos vidétis, et non vidérunt: et non vidérunt: et audíre quæ audítis, et non audíerunt." Et ecce quidam legisperítus surrexit tentans illum, et dicens: Magister, quid faciéndo vitam ætérnam possidébo? At ille dixit ad eum:"In lege quid scríptum est? quómodo legis? Ille respóndens dixit: Diliges Dóminum Deum tuum ex toto corde tuo, et ex tota ánima tua, et ex ómnibus víribus tuis, et ex ómni mente tua: et próximum tuum sicut teípsum. Dixítque illl: Recto respondísti: hoc fac, et vives. llle autem volens justificáre seípsum, dixit ad Jesum: Et quis est meus próximus? Suscípiens autem Jesus, dixit: "Homo quidam descendébat ab Jersúsalem in Jéricho, incidit in latrónes, qui étiam despoliavérunt eum: et plagis impósitis abiérunt, semivívo relícto. Accidit autem ut sacérdos quidam descénderet éadem via: et viso illo, præterívit. Simífliter et levíta, cum esset secus locum, et viéret eum, pertránsiit. Samaritánus autem quidam iter fáciens, venit secus eum: et videns eum, misericórdia motus est. Et apprópians, alligávit vúlnera ejus, infúndens oleum, et vinum: of impónens illum in juméntum suum, duxit in stábulum, et curam ejus egit. Et altera die prótulit duos denários, et dedit stabulário, et ait: Curam illíus habe: et quodcúmque supererogáveris, ego cum redíero, reddam tibi. Quis horum trium vidétur tibi próximus fuísse illi, qui íncidit in latrónes? At ille dixit: Qui fecit misericórdiam in illum. Et ait ill Jesus: "Vade, et tu fac simíliter."
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: "Blessed are the eyes that see the things which you see. For I say to you, that many prophets and kings have desired to see the things that you see, and have not seen them and to hear the things that you hear, and have not heard them." And behold a certain lawyer stood up, tempting Him, and saying: Master, what must I do to possess eternal life? But He said to him: "What is written in the law? how readest thou?" He answering, said: “Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with thy whole heart, with thy whole soul, and with all thy strength, and with all thy mind and thy neighbor as thyself," And He said to him: "Thou hast answered rightly: this do, and thou shalt live.” But he, willing to justify himself, said to Jesus: “And who is my neighbor?“ And Jesus answering, said: “A certain man went down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and fell among robbers, who also stripped him, and having wounded him, went away, leaving him half dead. And it chanced that a certain priest went down the same way, and seeing him, passed by. In like manner also a Levite, when he was near the place and saw him, passed by. But a certain Samaritan being on his journey, came near him, and seeing him, was moved with compassion, and going up to him, bound up his wounds, pouring in oil and wine and setting him upon his own beast, brought him to an inn, and took care of him. And the next day he took out two pence and gave to the host, and said. “Take care of him, and whatsoever thou shalt spend over and above I, at my return, will repay thee. Which of these three, in thine opinion, was neighbor to him that fell among robbers?“ But he said: “He that showed mercy to him.“ And Jesus said to him: “Go and do thou in like manner. “
Praise be to Christ

Dominus vobiscum.
R. Et cum spiritu tuo.

Orémus. Precátus est Móyses in conspéctu Dómini Dei sui, et dixit: Quare, Domine irásceris pópulo, tuo? Paræ iræ ánimæ tuæ: meménto Abraham, Isaac et Jacob, quibus jurásti dare terram fluéntem lac et mel. Et placátus factus est Dóminus de malignitáte, quam fácere pópulo Suo.

The Lord be with you.
R. And with thy spirit.

Let us pray. Moses prayed in the sight of the Lord his God, and said: Why, O Lord, is Thine indignation enkindled against Thy people? Let the anger of Thy mind cease; remember Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, to whom Thou didst swear to give a land flowing with milk and honey. And the Lord was appeased from doing the evil which He had spoken of doing against His people.
