Missa "Accípite"

Red Vestments


   Today is the Double of the First Class Feast of Pentecost Tuesday. The titular church of St. Anastasia, once the Court church during the Byzantine period, is chosen for today's station instead of the Basilica of St. Paul, as the latter is too far out for a procession at this season of the year when the weather is too warm. During the Octave of Pentecost the Church celebrates more especially the glories of the grace of the Holy Ghost and His secret work of sanctification in the Mystical Body of Christ. Thus to-day she repeats in the verse for the Communion the words of Our Lord: "The Spirit Who proceedeth from the Father, He shall glorify Me," and this glorification consists chiefly in our sanctification and in the growth of the Kingdom of God in our souls.

    Resources: We are grateful to Friends of Our Lady of Fatima for providing the Propers for the faithful. Sources: Saint Andrew Daily Missal and the Marian Missal , 1945

      EPISTLE: Acts 8: 14-17
      Léctio Áctuum Apostolórum. In diébus illis: Cum audíssent Apóstoli, qui erant Jerosólymis, quod recepíssent Samaria verbum Dei, misérunt ad eos Petrum, et Joánnem. Qui cum veníssent, oravérunt pro ipsis ut accíperent Spíritum Sanctum: nondum enim in quemquam illórum vénerat, sed baptizáti tantum erant in nómine Dómini Jesu. Tunc imponébant manus super illos, et accipiébant Spíritum Sanctum. Deo Gratias.
      Lesson from the Acts of the Apostles. In those days, when the apostles that were in Jerusalem had heard that Samaria had received the word of God, they sent unto them Peter and John; who, when they were come, prayed for them, that they might receive the Holy Ghost: for He was not as yet come upon any of them; but they were only baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus. Then they laid their hands upon them, and they received the Holy Ghost. Thanks be to God.
      ALLELUIA:
      Allelúja, allelúja. V. (John 14: 26) Spíritus Sanctus docébit vos quæcúmque díxero vobis. Allelúja.

      V. Veni, sancte Spíritus, Reple tuórum corda fidélium: et tui amóris in eis ignem accénde.

      Here all kneel
      V. Come, O Holy Spirit, fill the hearts of Thy faithful: and kindle in them the fire of Thy love.

      Lucis tuæ rádium.
      Veni pater páuperum,
      Veni dator múnerum,
      Veni lumen córdium.
      Consolátor óptime,
      Dulcis hospes ánimæ,
      Dulce refrigérum.

      O Lux beatíssima,
      Reple cordis íntima
      Tuórum fidélium.
      Sine tuo númine,
      Nihil est in hómine,
      Nihil est innoxium.
      Lava quod est sórdidium,
      Riga quod est áridum,
      Sana quod est sáucium.
      Flecte quod est rígidium,
      Fove quod est frígidium,
      Rege quod est dévium.

      Come Thou Holy Spirit, come,
      And from Thy celestial home
      Shed a ray of light divine.
      Come, Thou Father of the poor,
      Come, Thou source of all our store,
      Come, within our bosoms shrine,
      Thou of Comforters the best,
      Thou the soul's delightful guest,
      Sweet refreshment here below.
      In our labor rest most sweet,
      Pleasant coolness in the heat,
      Solace in the midst of woe.
      O most blessed Light divine,
      Shine within these hearts of Thine,
      And our inmost being fill.
      Where Thou art not, man hath nought,
      Nothing good in deed or thought,
      Nothing free from taint of ill.
      Heal our wounds, our strength renew,
      On our dryness pour Thy dew,
      Wash the stains of guilt away.
      Bend the stubborn heart and will,
      Melt the frozen, warm the chill,
      Guide the steps that go astray.
      On Thy faithful who adore,
      And confess Thee evermore,
      In Thy sevenfold gifts descend.
      Give them virtue's sure reward,
      Give them Thy salvation, Lord,
      Give them joys that never end.
      Amen. Alleluia.

      Sequentia sancti Evangelii secundum Joannem
      R.Gloria tibi, Domine

      In illo témpore: Dixit Jesus pharisæis : "Amen, amen dico vobis: qui non intrat per óstium in ovíle óvium, sed ascéndit aliúnde, ille fur est, et latro. Qui autem intrat per óstium, pastor est óvium. Huic ostiárius áperit, et oves vocem ejus áudiunt, et próprias oves vocat nominátim, et edúcit eas. Et cum próprias oves emiserit, ante eas vadit: et oves illum sequúntur, quia sciunt vocem ejus. Aliénum autem non seqúuntur, sed fúgiunt ab eo; quia non novérunt vocem alienórum." Hoc provérbium dixit eis Jesus. Illi autem non cognovérunt quid loquerétur eis. Dixit ergo eis íterum Jesus: "Amen, amen dico vobis, quia ego sum óstium óvium. Omnes quotquot venérunt fures sunt,et latrónes, et non audiérunt eos oves. Ego sum óstium. Per me si quis introíerit, salvábitur: et ingrediétur, et egrediétur, et páscua invéniet. Fur non venit nisi ut furétur, et mactet, et perdat. Ego veni ut vitam hábeant, et abundántius hábeant."
      Laus tibi Christe.

      The Lord be with you.
      R. And with thy spirit.
      The continuation of the holy Gospel according to John. R. Glory to Thee, O Lord

      At that time, Jesus said to the Pharisees: "At that time, Jesus said to the pharisees, Amen, amen, I say to you, he that entereth not by the door into the sheepfold, but climbeth up another way, the same is a thief and a robber. But he that entereth in by the door is the shepherd of the sheep. To him the porter openeth, and the sheep hear his voice, and he calleth his own sheep by name, and leadeth them out. And when he hath let out his own sheep, he goeth before them; and the sheep follow him, because they know his voice; but a stranger they follow not, but fly from him, because they know not the voice of strangers." This proverb Jesus spoke to them: but they understood not what He spoke to them. Jesus therefore said to them again: "Amen, amen, I say to you, I am the Door of the sheep. All others, as many as have come, are thieves and robbers; and the sheep hear them not. I am the Door. By Me if any man enter in, he shall be saved; and he shall go in, and go out, and shall find pastures. The thief cometh not but to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I am come that they may have life, and may have it more abundantly.
      Praise be to Christ
