Double Feast of Saint Hedwig, Widow
White Vestments
Missa "Cognovi, Domine"
Saint Hedwig, of royal origin, on the death of her husband, Duke Henry of Poland, retired into a Cistercian monastery, where she lived under obedience
to one of her daughters, who was abbess of the monastery, growing day by day in holiness till Almighty God called her to Himself, October 14, 1243. St. Hedwig fasted and prayed and took the discipline; she heard several Masses
daily and distributed alms with great generosity.
She was canonized twenty years later by Pope Clement IV.

I know, O Lord, that Thy judgments are equity, and in Thy truth Thou hast humbled me : pierce Thou my flesh with Thy fear, I am afraid of Thy judgments. (Psalm 118) Blessed are the undefiled in the way : who walk in the law of the Lord.

EPISTLE: Wisdom 31: 10-31

Muliérum fortem quis invéniet? Procul, et de últimis fínibus prétium ejus.
Confídit in ea cor viri sui, et spóliis non indigébit. Reddet et bonum, et
non malum ómnibus diébus vitæ suæ. Quæsívit lanam et linum, et operáta est
consílio mánuum suárum. Facta est quasi navis institóris, de longe portans
panem suum. Et de nocte surréxit, dedítque prædam domésticis suis, et
cibária ancíllis suis. Considerávit agrum, et emit eum: de fructu mánuum
suárum plantávit vineam. Accínxit fortitúdine lumbos suos, et roborávit
bráchium suum. Gustávit et vidit quia bona est negotiátio ejus: non
exstinguétur in nocte lucérna ejus. Manum suam misit ad fórtia, et dígiti
ejus apprehendérunt fusum. Manum suam apéruit inopi, et palmas suas exténdit
ad páuperem. Non timébit domui suæ a frigóribus nivis: omnes enim doméstici
ejus vestiti sunt duplícibus. Stragulátam vestem fecit sibi: byssus, et
púrpura induméntum ejus. Nóbilis in portis vir ejus, quando séderit cum
senatóribus terræ. Síndonem fecit, et véndidit, et cingulum trádidit
Chananæo. Fortitúdo et decor induméntum ejus, et ridébit in die novíssima.
Os suum aperuit sapiéntiæ, et lex cleméntiæ in lingua ejus. Considerávit
sémitas domus suæ, et panem otiósa non comédit. Surrexérunt fílii ejus, et
beatíssimam prædicavérunt: vir ejus, et laudávit eam. Multæ fíliæ
congregavérunt divítias: tu supergréssa es univérsas. Fallax grátia, et vana
est pulchritúdo: múlier timens Dóminum ipsa laudábitur. Date ei de fructu
mánuum suarum: et laudent eam in portis ópera ejus.
Deo Gratias.

Lesson from the Book of Wisdom.
Who shall find a valiant woman? the price of her is as of things brought
from afar off, and from the uttermost coasts. The heart of her husband
trusteth in her, and he shall have no need of spoils. She will render him
good and not evil all the days of her life. She hath sought wool and flax,
and hath wrought by the counsel of her hands: she is like the merchant's
ship, she bringeth her bread from afar: and she hath risen in the night, and
given a prey to her household, and victuals to her maidens: she hath
considered a field and bought it; with the fruit of her hands she hath
planted a vineyard. She hath girded her loins with strength, and hath
strengthened her arm. She hath tasted and seen that her traffic is good; her
lamp shall not be put out in the night. She hath put out her hands to strong
things, and her fingers have taken hold of the spindle. She hath opened her
hand to the needy, and stretched out her hands to the poor. She shall not
fear for her house in the cold of snow: for all her domestics are clothed
with double garments. She hath made for herself clothing of tapestry; fine
linen and purple is her covering. Her husband is honorable in the gates,
when he sitteth among the senators of the land. She made fine linen and sold
it, and delivered a girdle to the Chanaanite. Strength and beauty are her
clothing: and she shall laugh in the latter day. She hath opened her mouth
to wisdom, and the law of clemency is on her tongue: she hath looked well to
the paths of her house, and hath not eaten her bread idle. Her children rose
up, and called her blessed; her husband, and he praised her. Many daughters
have gathered together riches; thou hast surpassed them all. Favor is
deceitful, and beauty is vain: the woman that feareth the Lord, she shall be
praised. Give her of the fruit of her hands; and let her works praise her in
the gates.
Thanks be to God.

Dominus vobiscum.
R. Et cum spiritu tuo.
Sequentia sancti Evangelii secundum Matthaeum.
R.Gloria tibi, Domine
In illo tempore: Dixit Jesus, discípulis suis parábolam hanc: "Símile est
regnum coelórum thesáuro abscóndito in agro: quem qui invénit homo, abscóndit, et præ gáudio illíus vadit, et vendit univérsa quæ habet, et emit agrum illum. Íterum símile est regnum coelórum hómini negotiatóri, quærénti bonas margaritas. Invénta autem una pretiósa margaríta, abiit, et véndidit ómnia quæ hábuit, et emit eam. Íterum símile est regnum coelórum sagénæ missæ in mare, et ex omni génere píscium congregánti. Quam, cum impléta esset, educéntes, et secus littus sedéntes, elegérunt bonos in vasa, malos autem foras misérunt. Sic erit in consummatióne sæculi: exíbunt Ángeli, et separábunt malos de médio justórum, et mittent eos in camínum ignis: ibi erit fletus, et stridor déntium. Intellexístis hæc omnia?" Dicunt ei: 'Étiam.' Ait illis: "Ideo omnis scriba doctus in regno coelórum, similis est hómini patrifamílias, qui profert de thesáuro suo nova et vétera."
Laus tibi Christe.

The Lord be with you.
R. And with thy spirit.
The continuation of the holy Gospel according to Matthew. R. Glory to Thee, O Lord
At that time, Jesus spoke this parable to His disciples: "The kingdom of
heaven is like unto a treasure hidden in a field; which a man having found, hid it, and for joy thereof goeth, and selleth all that he hath, and buyeth that field. Again, the kingdom of Heaven is like to a merchant seeking good pearls. Who, when he had found one pearl of great price, went his way and
sold all that he had, and bought it. Again, the kingdom of Heaven is like to a net cast into the sea, and gathering together of all kinds of fishes; which, when it was filled, they drew out, and sitting by the shore, they chose out the good into vessels, but the bad they cast forth. So shall it be at the end of the world. The angels shall go out, and shall separate the wicked from among the just, and shall cast them into the furnace of fire; there shall be weeping
and gnashing of teeth. Have ye understood all these things?" They say to Him, 'Yes.' He said unto them,"Therefore every scribe instructed in the kingdom of Heaven, is like to a man who is a householder, who bringeth forth out of his treasure new things and old."
Praise be to Christ
