Vigil of ALL SAINTS

Violet Vestments

Missa "Júdicant sancti gentes"

        The preparing by a solemn vigil for the celebration of All Saints' Day, probably dates from the Eighth Century, when November 1st was fixed for the celebration of the feast. The fast on this vigil is of universal observance. As on other vigils Holy Mass is celebrated in purple vestments, and the liturgy throughout is of a penitential character.

EPISTLE:   Apocalypse 5: 6-12
Léctio libri Apocalypsis beáti Joánnis Apóstoli. In diébus illis: Ecce ego Joánnes vidi in médio throni, et quátuor animálium, et in médio seniórum, Agnum stantem tamquam occísum, habéntem córnua septem et óculos septem: qui sunt septem spíritus Dei, missi in omnem terram. Et venit: et accépit de déxtera sedéntis in throno librum. Et cum aperuísset librum, quátuor animália et vigintiquátuor senióres cecidérunt coram Agno, habéntés singuli cítharas, et phíalas áureas plenas odoramentórum, quæ sunt oratiónes sanctórum: et cantábant cánticum novum, dicéntes: Dignus es, Dómine, accípere librum, et aperíre signácula ejus: quóniam occísus es, et redemísti nos Deo in sánguine tuo ex omní tribu, et lingua, et pópulo, et natíóne: et fecísti nos Deo nostro regnum, et sacerdótes: et regnábimus super terram. Et vidi, et audívi vocem Angelórum multórum in circúitu throni, et animálium, et seniórum: et erat númerus eórum míllia míllium dicéntium voce magna: Dignus est Agnus, qui occísus est, accípere virtútem, et divinitátem, et sapíéntiam, et fortitúdinem, et honórem, et glóríam, et benedictiónem, in sæcula sæculórum. Amen.
Deo Gratias.
Lesson from the Book of The Apocalypse of Blessed John the Apostle. In those days, Behold, I, John, saw in the midst of the throne and of the four living creatures, and in the midst of the ancients, a Lamb, standing as it were slain, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven spirits of God, sent forth into all the earth. And He came, and took the book out of the right hand of Him that sat on the throne: and when He had opened the book, the four living creatures, and the four and twenty ancients fell down before the Lamb, having every one of them harps, and golden vials full of odors, which are the prayers of saints; and they sung a new canticle, saying, Thou art worthy, O Lord, to take the book, and to open the seals thereof; because Thou wert slain, and hast redeemed us to God, in Thy blood, out of every tribe, and tongue, and people, and nation, and hast made us to God a kingdom and priests; and we shall reign on the earth. And I beheld, and I heard the voice of many angels round about the throne, and the living creatures and the ancients, and the number of them was thousands of thousands, saying with a loud voice, The Lamb that was slain is worthy to receive power, and divinity, and wisdom, and strength, and honor, and glory, and benediction for ever and ever. Amen.
Thanks be to God.
GRADUAL:  Psalm 149: 5, 1
Exsultábunt sancti in glória, lætabúntur in cubílibus suis. V. Cantáte Dómino cánticum novum, laus ejus in Ecclésia sanctórum.
The saints shall rejoice in glory; they shall be joyful in their beds. V. Sing ye to the Lord a new canticle; let His praise be in the assembly of the saints.
GOSPEL:    Luke 6: 17-23
Dominus vobiscum.
R. Et cum spiritu tuo.
Sequentia sancti Evangelii secundum Lucam.
R.Gloria tibi, Domine

In illo témpore: Descéndens Jesus de monte stetit in loco campéstri, et turba discipulórum ejus, et multitúdo copiósa plebis ab omni Judæa, et Jerúsalem, et marítima, et Tyri, et Sidónis, qui vénerant, ut audírent eum, et sanaréntur a languóribus suis. Et qui vexabántur a spirítibus immúndis, curabántur. Et omnis turba quærébat eum tángere: quia virtus de illo exíbat, et sanábat omnes. Et ipse elevátis óculis in discípulos suos, dicébat: "Beáti páuperes: quia vestrum est regnum Dei. Beáti, qui nunc esúritis, quia saturabímini. Beáti, qui nunc fletis: quia ridébitis. Beáti éritis, cum vos óderint hómines, et cum separáverint vos, et exprobráverint, et ejécerint nomen vestrum tamquam malum, propter Fílium hóminis. Gaudéte in illa die, et exsultáte: ecce enim merces vestra multa est in Coelo."
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 coming down from the mountain 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. And He, lifting up His eyes on His disciples, said, "Blessed are ye poor, for yours is the kingdom of God. Blessed are ye that hunger now, for you shall be filled. Blessed are ye that weep now, for you shall laugh. Blessed shall you be when men shall hate you, and when they shall separate you, and shall reproach you, and cast out your name as evil, for the Son of man's sake: be glad in that day and rejoice, for behold, your reward is great in Heaven."
Praise be to Christ
