Semi-Double Observance of the Twenty-Third Sunday After Pentecost
Missa "Dicit Dóminus"
GREEN Vestments
In today's Gospel, Jesus confounds the Pharisees, His enemies, who more than ever are compassing His ruin. His reply is full of divine wisdom. The Apostle Paul in his Epistle to the Philippians illustrates how destruction is the end of those who are enemies of the Cross, and those who laughed and derided our Lord have discovered this only too well. It is left to the Church to counsel all that Christ means what He says and, refreshingly in light of Vatican II-speak ambiguity, says what He means.
 There is a commemoration today of the holy Defender of Trent Saint Charles Borromeo. About fifty years after the Protestant heresy began, Our Lord raised up a
mere youth to renew the face of His Church. The lifework of St. Charles Borromeo may
be divided into two periods, first, the activities he discharged beside his
uncle Pius IV which embraced not only Rome but the Universal Church.
Secondly, the pastoral office which he filled at Milan, as the Bishop and
Apostle of that diocese. He may be said to have directed from Rome the last
phase of the Council of Trent.
&bnsp;
The zeal displayed by St. Charles in fulfilling his pastoral duties is
almost incredible. His field of action as Archbishop of Milan and Legate of
the Holy See was very extensive. Yet there was no deserted Alpine village
which was not included in his pastoral visitation. His biographers tell us
that in three weeks he consecrated no less than fifteen churches. He
established a seminary, whose rules have been the basis of seminary
regulations since that time. He died November 4 , 1584.
&bnsp;There is also a commemoration of the holy martyrs
Sts. Vitalis and Agricola.
St. Vitalis, the servant of St. Agricola, by his courage in bearing the most
atrocious tortures for the Faith, encouraged his master to die bravely with
him for Christ. They suffered at Bologna in Italy about the year 300.
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

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 Epístolæ beáti Pauli Apóstoli ad Philippénses.
Fratres, Imitatóres mei estóte, et observáte eos, qui ita ámbulant, sicut
habétis formam nostram. Multi enim ámbulant, quos sæpe dicébam vobis (nunc
autem et flens dico) inimícos crucis Christi: quorum finis intéritus: quorum
deus venter est: et glória in confusióne ipsórum, qui terréna sápiunt.
Nostra autem conversátio in cælis est: unde etiam Salvatórem exspectámus
Dóminum nostrum Jesum Christum, qui reformábit corpus humilitátis nostræ,
configurátum córpori claritátis suæ, secúndum operatiónem, qua étiam possit
subjícere sibi ómnia. Itáque, fratres mei caríssimi et desideratíssimi,
gáudium meum et coróna mea: sic state in Dómino, caríssimi. Evódiam rogo, et
Syntichen deprécor idípsum sápere in Dómino. Etiam rogo et te, germáne
compar, adjúva illas, quæ mecum laboravérunt in Evangélio, cum Cleménte, et
céteris adjutóribus meis, quorum nómina sunt in libro vitæ.
Deo Gratias.

Lesson from the Epistle of Blessed Paul the Apostle to the Philippiians. Brethren, Be followers of me, and observe them who walk so as you have our model. For many walk, of whom I have told you often (and now tell you weeping) that they are enemies of the cross of Christ whose end is destruction, whose god is their belly, and whose glory is in their shame who mind earthly things. But our conversation is in heaven, from whence also we look for the Savior, our Lord Jesus Christ, Who will reform the body of our lowness, made like to the body of His glory, according to the operation whereby also He is able to subdue all things unto Himself. Therefore, my brethren, dearly beloved, and most desired, my joy and my crown: so stand fast in the Lord, my dearly beloved. I beg of Evodia, and I beseech Syntyche to be of one mind with the Lord: and I entreat thee also, my sincere companion, help those women who have labored with me in the Gospel, with
Clement and the rest of my fellow-laborers, whose names are in the book of life.
Thanks be to God.

Sequentia sancti Evangelii secundum Matthaeum.
R.Gloria tibi, Domine In illo témpore: Loquénte Jesu ad turbas, ecce princeps unus
accéssit, et adorábat eum, dicens: Dómine, fília mea modo defúncta est: sed veni, impone manum tuam super eam, et vivet. Et surgens Jesus sequebátur eum, et discípuli ejus. Et ecce múlier, quæ sánguinis fluxum patiebátur duódecim annis, accéssit retro, et tétigit fímbriam vestiménti ejus. Dicebat
enim intrea se: Si tetígero tantum vestiméntum ejus, salva ero. At Jesus convérsus, et vídens eam, dixit:
"Confíde, fília, fides tua te salvam fecit. Et salva facta est múlier ex illis hora." Et cum venísset Jesus in domum
príncipis, et vidísset tibícines, et turbam, tumultuántem dicébat: "Recédite, non est enim mórtua puélla, sed dormit." Et deridébant
eum. Et cum ejécta esset turba, intrávit, et ténuit manum ejus. Et surréxit
puella. Et éxiit fama hæc in univérsam terram illam.
Laus tibi Christe.

The continuation of the holy Gospel according to Matthew. R. Glory to Thee, O Lord
At that time, as Jesus was speaking to the multitudes, behold a certain ruler came up and adored Him, saying: Lord, my daughter is even now dead but come, lay Thy hand upon her, and she shall live. And Jesus, rising up,
followed him, with His disciples. And behold a woman, who, was troubled with an issue of blood twelve years, came behind Him, and touched the hem of His garment. For she said within herself: If I shall touch only His garment, I
shall be healed. But Jesus turning and seeing her, said: "Be of good heart,
daughter, thy faith hath made thee whole." And the woman was made whole from
that hour. And when Jesus was come into the house of the ruler, and saw the
minstrels and the multitude making a tumult, He said: "for the girl is not dead, but sleepeth." And they laughed Him to scorn. And when the multitude was put forth, He went in and took her by the hand. And the maid arose. And the fame thereof went abroad into all that country.
Praise be to Christ

Dominus vobiscum.

Sursum corda.
R.Habemus ad Dominum.
Gratias agamus Domino Deo nostro.
R. Dignum et justum est.
Vere dignum et justum est, aequum et salutare, nos tibi semper, et ubique gratias agere: Domine sancta, Pater omnipotens, aeterne Deus. Qui cum unigenito Filio: tuo et Spiritu Sancto, unus es Deus, unus es Dominus: non in uninus singularitate personae, sed in unius Trinitae substantiae. Quo denim de tua Gloria, revelante te, credimus, hoc de Filio tuo, hod de Spiritu Sancto, sine differentia discretionis sentimus. Ut in confessione verare, sempitiernaeque Deitatis, et in personis proprietas, et in essential unitas, et in majestate adoretur aequalitas. Quam laudant Angeli atque Archangeli, Cherubim, quoque ac Seraphim: qui non cessant clamare quotodie, una voce dicentes:
SANCTUS, SANCTUS, SANCTUS...

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, that we should at all times and in all places, give thanks unto Thee, O holy Lord, Father almighty, ever-lasting God: Who, together with Thine only-begotten Son, and the Holy Ghost, are one God, one Lord: not in the oneness of a single Person, but in the Trinity of one substance. For what we believe by Thy revelation of Thy glory, the same do we believe of Thy Son, the same of the Holy Ghost, without difference or separation. So that in confessing the true and everlasting Godhead, distinction in persons, unity in essence, and equality in majesty may be adored. Which the Angels and Archangels, the Cherubim also and Seraphim do praise: who cease not daily to cry out with one voice saying:
HOLY, HOLY, HOLY...
