 
Double Major of the Feast of the Conversion of Saint Paul
Missa "Scio cui crédidi"
White Vestments
Since the 8th century the feast of the conversion of St. Paul has been set
apart by the Church to return thanks to almighty God for His act of grace in
bringing the future apostle to the Faith. After the miracle of Christ's
Resurrection no other wonder in the history of the early Church is a
stronger proof of the divine origin of Christianity than the marvelous
conversion of St. Paul. Just as there was a commemoration of St. Paul on the Feast of St. Peter's Chair at Rome last week, there is a commemoration today of St. Peter at the Collect, Secret and Postcommunion.
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 Bio: Catholic Encyclopedia 1913 edition. Saint Andrew Daily Missal and the Marian Missal , 1945

Scio cui crédidi et certus sum, quia potens est depósitum meum serváre in

(Ps. 138: 1, 2) Dómine, probásti me, et cognovísti me: tu cognovísti

I know whom I have believed and I am certain that he is able to keep that which I have committed to him, against that day; being a just judge. (Ps. 138: 1, 2) Lord, Thou hast proved me and known me: Thou hast known my sitting down, and my rising up.
v. Glory be to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Ghost, as it was in the beginning, is now and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.

Léctio Actuum Apostolórum.
In diébus illis: Saulus adhuc spirans minárum, et coedis in discípulos
Dómlni, accéssit ad príncipem sacerdótum, et pétiit ab eo epístolas in
Damáscum ad synagógas: ui si quos invenísset hujus viæ viros, ac mulíeres,
vinetos perdúceret in Jerúsalem. Et cum iter fáceret, cóntigit, ut
appropinquáret Damásco: et súbito circumfúlsit eum lux de coelo. Et cadens
in terram, audívit vocem dicéntem sibi: Saule, Saule, quid me perséqueris?
Qui dixit: Quis es, Dómine? Et ille: Ego sum Jesus, quem tu perséqueris:
durum est tibi contra stímulum calcitráre. Et tremens, ac stupens, dixit:
Dómine, quid me vis fácere? Et Dóminus ad eum: Surge, et ingrédere
civitátem, et ibi dicétur tibi quid te opórteat fácere. Viri autem illi, qui
comitabántur cum eo, stabant stupefácti, audiéntes quidem vocem, néminem
autem vidéntes. Surréxit autem Saulus de terra, apertísque óculis nihil
vidébat. Ad manus autem illum trahéntes, introduxérunt Damascum. Et erat ibi
tribus didéus non videns, et non manducávit, neque bibit. Erat autem quidem
discípulus Damásci, nómine Ananías: et dixit ad illum in visu Dóminus:
Ananía. At ille ait: Ecce ego, Dómine. Et Dóminus ad eum: Surge, et vade in
virum, qui vocátur Rectus: et quære in domo Judæ Saulum nómine Tarsénsem:
ecce enim orat. (Et vidit virum, Ananíam nómine, introëúntem, et imponéntem
sibi manus, ut visum recípiat.) Respóndit autem Ananías: Dómine, audivi a
multis de viro hoc, quanta mala fécerit sanctus tuis in Jerúsalem: et hic
habet potestátem a princípibus sacerdótum alligándi omnes, qui invócant
nomen tuum. Dixit autem ad eum Dóminus: Vade, quóniam vas electiónis est
mihi iste, ut portet nomen meum coram géntibus, et régibus, et fíllis
Israël. Ego enim osténdam illi, quanta opórteat eum pro nómine meo pati. Et
ábiit Ananías, et introívit in domum: et impónens ei manus dixit: Saule
frater, Dóminus misit me Jesus, qui appáruit tibi in via, qua veniébas, ut
videas, et ímpleáris Spíritu Sancto. Et conféstim cecidérunt ab óculis ejus
tamquam squamæ, et visum recépit: et surgens baptizátus est. Et cum
accepísset cibum, confortátus est. Fuit autem cum discípulis, qui erant
Damásci, per dies áliquot. Et contínuo in synagógis prædicábat Jesum,
quóniam hic est Fílius Dei. Stupébant autem omnes, qui audiébant, et
dicébant: Nonne hic est, qui expugnábat In Jerúsalem eos, qui invocábant nomen istud: et huc ad hoc venit, ut vinctos illos dúceret ad príncipes
sacerdótum? Saulus autem multo magis convalescébat, et confundébat Judæos,
qui habitábant Damásci, affírmans quóniam hic est Christus.
Deo Gratias.

Lesson from the Acts of the Apostles.
In those days, Saul, as yet breathing out threatenings and slaughter against
the disciples of the Lord, went to the high priest, and asked of him letters
to Damascus, to the synagogues; that if he found any men and women of this
way, he might bring them bound to Jerusalem. And as he went on his journey,
it came to pass that he drew nigh to Damascus: and suddenly a light from
heaven shined round about him. And falling on the ground he heard a voice
saying to him, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou Me? Who said, Who art Thou,
Lord? And He said, I am Jesus of Nazareth, Whom thou persecutest. It is hard
for thee to kick against the goad. And he trembling and astonished, said,
Lord, what wilt Thou have me to do? And the Lord said to him, Arise, and go
into the city, and there it shall be told thee what thou must do. Now the
men who went in company with him stood amazed, hearing indeed a voice, but
seeing no man. And Saul arose from the ground, and when his eyes were
opened, he saw nothing. But they leading him by the hand, brought him to
Damascus. And he was there three days without sight; and he did neither eat
nor drink. Now there was a certain disciple at Damascus, named Ananias and
the Lord said to him
in a vision, Ananias. And he said, Behold I am here, Lord. And the Lord said
to him, Arise and go into the street that is called Strait, and seek in the
house of Judas one named Saul of Tarsus; for behold he prayeth. (And he saw
a man, named Ananias, coming in, and putting his hands upon him, that he
might recover his sight.) But Ananias answered, Lord, I have heard by many
of this man, how much evil he hath done to thy saints in Jerusalem: and here
he hath authority from the chief priests to bind all that invoke Thy name.
And the Lord said to him, Go thy way; for this man is to Me a vessel of
election, to carry My name before the gentiles, and kings, and the children
of Israel. For I will show him how great things he must suffer for My name's
sake. And Ananias went his way, and entered into the house, and laying his
hands upon him he said, Brother Saul, the Lord Jesus hath sent me, He that
appeared to thee in the way as thou camest, that thou mayest receive thy
sight, and be filled with the Holy Ghost. And immediately there fell from
his eyes as it were scales, and he received his sight; and rising up he was
baptized. And when he had taken meat, he was strengthened. And he was with
the disciples that were at Damascus for some days. And immediately he
preached Jesus in the synagogues, that He !s the Son of God. And all that
heard him were astonished, and said, Is not this he who persecuted in
Jerusalem those who called
upon this name: and came hither for that intent, that he might carry them
bound to the chief priest? But Saul increased much more in strength, and
confounded the Jews who dwelt in Damascus, affirming that this is the
Christ.
Thanks be to God.

say to you, that you who have followed Me, in the regeneration, when the Son
of man shall sit on the seat of his majesty, you also shall sit on twelve
seats judging the twelve tribes of Israel. And every one that hath left
house, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children,
or lands, for My name's sake, shall receive a hundredfold, and shall possess
life everlasting."
Praise be to Christ

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 Archangels, with Thrones and Dóminations and with all the
hosts of the heavenly army, we sing the hymn of Thy glory, evermore saying:
HOLY, HOLY, HOLY...
