Observance of the Preceding Sunday: Sixteenth Sunday After Pentecost

Missa "Miserere mihi"

GREEN Vestments


        In the Gospel for the Sixteenth Sunday After Pentecost the supernatural life of our souls requires that the grace of God should always go before us and accompany us (Collect). To Him therefore be glory (Epistle).

        It is He (Christ) Who heals our infirmities (Gospel), and Who is our support. Wherefore He teaches us in the Gospel the virtue of humility. In a short parable He shows that God raises whoever humiliates himself.

        There is a commemoration of the holy abbot Saint Giles, who was an Athenian and lived in the Sixth Century. He fled to the south of France where he lived as a hermit in a vast forest. Discovered by King Theodoric he founded a celebrated monastery in the diocese of Nimes and was so famous on account of his miracles that a number of churches were dedicated to him. His feast was kept at Rome with great solemnity with fireworks, music, races through the streets, etc. He is invoked for the cure of epilepsy and other diseases. The abbey erected in his honor was a magnificent structure and center of pilgrimage during the middle ages.

      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

EPISTLE:   Ephesíans 3:13-21
Léctio Epístolæ beáti Pauli Apóstolii ad Ephésios. Fratres, Obsecro vos, ne deficiátis in tribulatiónibus meis pro vobis, quæ est glória vestra. Hujus rei grátia flecto genus mea ad Patrem Dóminum nostri Jesu Christi, ex quo omnis patérnitas in cælis, et in terra nominétur, ut det vobis secúndum divítias gloriæ suæ, virtúte corroborári per Spíritum ejus in interiórem hóminem, Christum habitáre per fidem in córdibus vestris: in caritáte radicáti, et fundáti, ut possítis comprehéndere cum ómnibus sanctis, quæ sit latitúdo, et longitúdo, at sublímitas, et profundum: scire étiam supereminéntem sciéntias caritátem Christi, ut impleámini in omnem plentúdinem Dei.

Lesson from the Epistle of Blessed Paul the Apostle to the Ephesians. Brethren, I pray you not to faint at my tribulations for you, which are your glory. For this cause I bow my knees to the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, of whom all paternity in Heaven and earth is named, that He would grant you, according to the riches of His glory, to be strengthened by His Spirit with which might unto the inward man, That Christ may dwell by faith in your hearts: that being rooted and founded in charity, you may be able to comprehend with all the saints, what is the breadth and the length, and height, and depth. To know also the charity of Christ, which surpasseth all knowledge that you may be filled unto all the fullness of God. Now to Him who is able to do all things more abundantly than we desire or understand, according to the power that worketh in us: to Him be glory in the Church, and in Christ Jesus, unto all generations, world without end. Amen.
Thanks be to God.

R.Gloria tibi, Domine

In illo témpore: Cum intráret Jesus in domum cujúsdam príncipis pharisæórum sabbáto manducáre panem, at ipsi observábant eum. Et ecce homo quidam hydrópicus erat ante illum, Et respóndens Jesus, dixit ad legisperítos, at pharisæos, dicens: "Si licet sabbáto curare?" At iili tacuérunt. Ipse vero apprehénsum sanávit eum, ac dimisit. Et respondens ad illos, dixit: "Cujus vestrum ásinus, aut bos in púteum cadet, et non contínuo extrahet illum die sabbáti?" Et non póterant ad hæc respondére illi. Dicébat autem et ad invitátos parábolam, inténdens quómodo primos accúbitus elígerent, dicens ad illos: "Cum invitiátus fúeris ad ad núptias, non discúmbas in primo loco, ne forte honorátior te sit invitátus ab illo, et véniens is, quis te et illum vacávit, dicat tibi: Da huic locum: et tunc incípias cum rubóre novíssimum locum tenére. Sed cum vocátus fúeris, vade, recúmbe in novíssimo loco: ut, cum vénerit qui te invitávit, dicat tibi: Amice, ascénde supérius. Tunc erit tibi glória coram simul discumbéntibus: quia omnis qui se exáltat, humiliábitur: et qui se humíliat, exaltábitur."
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, when Jesus went into the house of one of the chiefs of the Pharisees on the Sabbath day to eat bread, they watched Him. And behold, there was a certain man before Him who had the dropsy: and Jesus answering, spoke to the lawyers and the Pharisees, saying: "Is it lawful to heal on the sabbath day?" But they held their peace: but He taking him, healed him, and sent him away. And answering them, He said: "Which of you shall have an ass or an ox fall into a pit, and will not immediately draw him out on the sabbath day?" And they could not answer Him these things. And He spoke a parable also to them that were invited, marking how they chose the first seats at the table, saying to them: "When thou art invited to a wedding, sit not down in the first place, lest perhaps one more honorable than thou be invited by him and he that invited thee and him, come and say to thee: Give this man place: and then thou begin with shame to take the lowest place. But when thou art invited, go, sit down in the lowest place: that when he who invited thee cometh, he may say to thee: Friend, go up higher. Then shalt thou have glory before them that sit at table with thee: because every one that exalteth himself shall be humbled and he that humbled himself shall be exalted."
Praise be to Christ
