PROPER OF THE MASS (lent1tue.htm)

Tuesday of the First Week in Lent


Violet or Purple Vestments

Missa "Dómine, refúgium"


   Collecta at St. Nicholas in Carcere. Station at St. Anastasia.

   In the Middle Ages the church of St. Nicholas was one of the most central and important of the Roman churches. The funeral ceremony of Urban II was held here; the name in carcere (in prison) also goes back to the Middle Ages.

   St. Anastasia is commemorated in the second Mass of Christmas; her feast at Rome is perhaps older than the feast of Christmas itself. The church is said to mark the spot of the martyr's dwelling; she was a holy widow martyred under Diocletian.

   The Lucernare (Psalm 140) of the Gradual is noteworthy. In oriental liturgies it belongs to the Night Office. We must bear in mind that for many centuries Rome did not use the canonical Office of Vespers, its place being taken by the stational Mass celebrated either during Lent or on the eve of some solemn feast, at the very hour of sunset, when the Eastern Church was reciting the Office of the Lucernare. We learn from the Mass the importance of prayer and meditation, and how careful should be our preparation to approach the sacraments.

    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

(Ps. 89: 2) Before the mountains were made, or the earth and the world was formed: from eternity and to eternity Thou art God. v.

      EPISTLE:   Isaias 55: 6-11
        [Lent is a time of fast and prayer and good works; Lent is the time when God is near to us and eager to forgive us, if we put aside our evil thoughts and forsake the way of sin.]


      Léctio Isaiæ Prophétæ. In diébus illis: Locútus est Isaías prophéta, dicens: Quærite Dóminum, dum inveníri potest: invocáte eum, dum pgrope est. Derelínquat ímpius viam suam, et vir iníquus cogitatiónes suas, et revertétur ad Dóminum: et miserébitur ejus, et ad Deum nostrum: quóniam multus est ad ignoscéndum. Non enim cogitatiónes meæ, cogitatiónes vestræ: neque viæ vestræ, viæ meæ, dicit Dóminus. Quia sicut exaltántur cæli a terra, sic exaltáte sunt viæ meæ a viis vestris, et cogitatiónes mesa a cogitatiónibus vestris. Et quómodo descéndit imber, et nix de cælo, et illuc ultra non revértitur, sed inébriat terram, et infúndit eam, et germináre eam facit, et dat semen serénti, et panem comedénti: sic erit verbum meum, quod egrediétur de ore meo: non revertétur ad me vacuum, sad fáciet quæcúmque vólui, et posperábitur in his, ad quæ misi illud: sit Dóminus omnipotens.
      Deo Gratias.

      Lesson from Isaias the Prophet. In those days the prophet Isaias spoke, saying, Seek ye the Lord while He may be found, call upon Him while He is near. Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unjust man his thoughts, and let him return to the Lord, and He will have mercy on him; and to our God, for He is bountiful to forgive. For My thoughts are not your thoughts: nor your ways My ways, saith the Lord. For as the heavens are exalted above the earth, so are My ways exalted above your ways, and My thoughts above your thoughts. And as the rain and the snow come down from heaven, and return no more thither, but soak the earth and water it, and make it to spring, arid give seed to the sower and bread to the eater; so shall My word be which shall go forth from My mouth: it shall not return to Me void, but it shall do whatsoever I please, and shall prosper in the things for which I sent it; saith the Lord almighty.
      Thanks be to God.

      GRADUAL    Psalm 140: 2


      Dirigátur orátio mea sicut incénsum in conspéctu tuo, Dómine. V. Elevátio mónuum mearum, sacrifícium vespertínum.

      Let my prayer be directed as incense in Thy sight, O Lord. V. The lifting up of my hands as evening sacrifice.

      GOSPEL:    Matthew 21: 10,17
        [We must cast sin out from our minds and hearts, as Jesus cast out the sellers from the Temple, and receive the teaching of Christ with the simplicity of children of God.]
      Dominus vobiscum.
      R. Et cum spiritu tuo.
      Sequentia sancti Evangelii secundum Matthaeum.
      R.Gloria tibi, Domine

      In illo témpore: Cum intrásset Jesus Jerosólymam, commóta est univérsa cívitas, dicens: Quis est hic? Populi autem dicébant: Hic est Jesus prophéta a Názareth Galilææ. Et intrávit Jesus in templum Dei, et ejiciébat omnes vendéntes, et eméntes in templo; et mensas nummulariórum, et cáthedras vendéntium colúmbas evértit: et dicit eis: "Scriptum est: Domus mea domus oratiónis vocábitur: vos autem fecístis illam spelúncam latrónum." Et accessérunt ad eum cæci, et claudi in templo: et sanávit eos. Vidéntes autem príncipes sacerdótum, et Scribæ mirabilia, quæ fecit, et púeros clamántes in templo, et dicentes: Hosánna, fílio David: indignáti sunt, et dixérunt ei: Audis quid isti dicunt? Jesus autem dixit eis: "Utique. Numquam legístis: Quia ex ore infántium et lacténtium perfecisti laudem?" Et relictis illis, ábiit foras extra civitátem in Bethániam: ibíque mansit
      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, when Jesus was come into Jerusalem, the whole city was moved, saying, Who is this? And the people said, This is Jesus the prophet, from Nazareth of Galilee. And Jesus went into the temple of God, and cast out all them that sold and bought in the temple, and overthrew the tables of the money­changers, and the chairs of them that sold doves, and He saith to them, " It is written, My house shall be called the house of prayer, but you have made it a den of thieves." And there came to Him the blind and the lame, in the temple; and He healed them. And the chief priests and scribes seeing the wonderful things that He did, and the children crying in the temple, and saying, Hosanna to the son of David, were moved with indignation, and said to Him, Hearest Thou what these say? And Jesus said to them, Yea, have you never read, Out of the mouth of infants and of sucklings Thou hast perfected praise?" And leaving them, He went out of the city in Bethania and remained there.
      Praise be to Christ

      PREFACE   FOR LENT


      Dominus vobiscum.
      R. Et cum spiritu tuo.
      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 sancte, Pater Omnipotens, aeterne Deus. Qui corporali jejunio vitia comprimis, mentem elevas, virtutem largiris et praemia : per Christum Dominum nostrum. Per quem majestatem tuam laudant Angeli, adorant Dominationes, tremunt Potestates. Coeli, caelorumque Virtutes, ac beata Seraphim, socia exsultatione concelebrant. Cum quibus et nostras voces, ut admitti jubeas deprecamur, supplici confessione dicentes:
      SANCTUS, SANCTUS, SANCTUS...

      The Lord be with you.
      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, everlasting God: Who by this bodily fast, dost curb our vices, dost lift up our minds and bestow on us strength and rewards; through Christ our Lord. Through whom the Angels praise Thy Majesty, the Dominations worship it, the Powers stand in awe. The Heavens and the heavenly hosts together with the blessed Seraphim in triumphant chorus unite to celebrate it. Together with these we entreat Thee that Thou mayest bid our voices also to be admitted while we say with lowly praise:
      HOLY, HOLY, HOLY...
