Missa "Protéctor"
Fourteenth Sunday After Pentecost
"No man can serve two masters"


Semi-Double Observance of the Fourteenth Sunday After Pentecost


Missa "Protéctor"

GREEN Vestments


        The Epistle and the Gospel for the Traditional liturgy for the Fourteenth Sunday After Pentecost focuses on the fact that we cannot serve two masters. Those two masters this week are namely the flesh and the spirit. The spirit, or grace, given to us by the Holy Ghost, inclines us to supernatural and holy things. The flesh, or man with his bad and carnal instincts, make us commit all manner of sins.

        The Epistle and Gospel teach Christian people to attend to their temporal interests without exaggerated preoccupation, for such anxiety offends God Who is our Father in Heaven.

      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

      Protéctor noster, áspice Deus, et réspice in fáciem Christi tui: quia mélior est dies una in átriis tuis super míllia. (Ps. 83: 2) Quam dilécta tabernácula tua, Dómine virtútem! concupíiscit et déficit ánima mea in átria Dómini. v. Gloria Patri, et Filio, et Spiritui Sancto. Sicut erat in principio et nunc et semper et in saecula saeculorum. Amen.

      Behold, O God, our protector, and look on the face of Thy Christ for better is one day in Thy courts above thousands. (Ps. 83: 2) How lovely are Thy tabernacles, O Lord of hosts! my soul longeth and fainteth for the courts of the Lord. v. Glory be to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Ghost, as it was in the beginning, is now and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.

      EPISTLE:   Galatians 5: 16-24
      Léctio Epístolæ beáti Pauli Apóstolii ad Gálitas. Fratres, Spíritu ambuláte, et desidéria carnis non perficiétis. Caro enim concupíscit advérsus spíritum: spíritus autem advérsus carnem: hæc enim sibi ínvicem adversántur: ut non quæcúmque vultis, illa faciétis. Quod si spíritu ducímini, non estis sub lege. Manifésta sunt autem ópera carnis: quæ sunt fornicátio, immundítia, impudicítia, luxúria, idolórum sérvitus, venefícia, inimícitiæ, contentiónes, æmuIatiónes, iræ, rixæ, dissensiónes, sectæ, invidiæ, homicídia, ebrietátes, comessatiónes, et his simília quæ prædíco vobis, sicut prædíxi: quóniam qui tália agunt, regnum Dei non consequéntur. Fructus autem Spíritus est: cáritas, gáudium, pax, patiéntia, benígnitas, bónitas, longanímitas, mansuetúdo, fides, modéstia, continéntia, cástitas. Advérsus hujúsmodi non est lex. Qui autem sunt Christi, carnem suam crucifixérunt cum vítiis at concupiscéntiis.
      Deo Gratias.
      Lesson from the Epistle of Blessed Paul the Apostle to the Galatians. Brethren, Walk in the spirit, and you shall not fulfill the lusts of the flesh: for the flesh lusteth against the spirit, and the spirit against the flesh for these are contrary one to another: so that you do not the things that you would. But if you are led by the spirit, you are not under the law. Now the works of the flesh are manifest which are fornication, uncleanness, immodesty, luxury, idolatry, witchcrafts, enmities, contentions, emulations, wraths, quarrels, dissensions, sects, envies, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like of which I foretell you, as I have foretold to you, that they who do such things, shall not obtain the kingdom of God. But the fruit of the spirit is charity, joy, peace, patience, benignity, goodness, longanimity, mildness, faith, modesty, continency, chastity. Against such there is no law. And they that are Christ's, have crucified their flesh with the vices and concupiscences.
      Thanks be to God.
      GRADUAL:  Psalm 117: 8-9
      Bonum est confíidere in Dómino, quam confídere in hómine. V. Bonum est speráre in Dómino, quam speráre in princípibus. Allelúja,allelúja.(Ps. 4: 91) Veníte, exsultémus Dómino: jubilémus Deo salutári nostro. Allelúja.
      It is good to confide in the Lord, rather than to have confidence in man V. It is good to trust in the Lord, rather than to trust in princes. Alleluia, alleluia. (Ps. 4: 91) Come, let us praise the Lord with joy; let us joyfully sing to God our Savior. Alleluia
      GOSPEL:    Matthew 6: 24-33
      Dominus vobiscum.
      R. Et cum spiritu tuo.
      Sequentia sancti Evangelii secundum Matthaeum.
      R.Gloria tibi, Domine

      In illo témpore: Dixit Jesus discípulis suis: "Nemo potest duóbus Dóminis servíre: aut enim unum ódio habébit, et álterum díligit: aut unum sustinébit, et álterum contémnet Non potéstis Deo servíre, et mammónæ. Ideo dico vobis, ne sollíciti sitis ánimæ vestræ quid manducátis, neque córpori vestro quid induámini. Nonne ánima plus est quam esca: et corpus plus quam vestiméntum? Respícite volatília cæli, quóniam non serunt, neque metunt, neque cóngregant in hórrea: et Pater vester cæléstis pascit illa. Nonne vos magis pluris estis illis? Quis autem vestrum cógitans, potest adjícere ad statúram suam cúbitum unum? Et de vestiménto quid sollíciti estis? Consideráte lílla agri, quómodo crescunt: non labórant, neque nent. Dico autem vobis, quóniam nec Sálomon in omni glória sua coopértus est sicut unum ex istis. Si autem foenum agri, quod hódie est, et eras in clíbanum míttitur, Deus sic vestit: quanto magis vos módicæ fidei? Nólite ergo sollíciti esse, dicéntes: Quid manducábimus, aut quid bibémus, aut quo operiémur? Hæc enim ómnia gentes inquírunt. Scit enim Pater vester, quia his ómnibus indigétis. Quærite ergo primum regnum Dei, et justítiam ejus: et hæc ómnia adjiciéntur vobis."
      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 said to His disciples: "No man can serve two masters for he will hate the one and love the other, or he will sustain the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon. Therefore I say to you, be not solicitous for your life, what you shall eat, nor for your body, what you shall put on. Is not the life more than the meat, and the body more than the raiment? Behold the birds of the air for they neither sow nor do they reap, nor gather into barns, and your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are you not of much more value than they? And which of you, by taking thought, can add to his stature one cubit? And for raiment, why are you solicitous? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they labor not, neither do they spin but I say to you, that not even Solomon in all his glory was arrayed as one of these. Now if God so clothe the grass of the field, which is today, and tomorrow is cast in the oven, how much more you, O ye of little faith! Be not solicitous therefore saying: What shall we eat, or what shall we drink, or wherewith shall we be clothed? for after all these things do the heathen seek. For your Father knoweth that you have need of all these things. Seek ye therefore first the kingdom of God, and His justice and all these things shall be added unto you."
      Praise be to Christ

      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 sancta, Pater omnipotens, aeterne Deus. Qui cum unigenito Filio: tuo et Spiritu Sancto, unus es Deus, unus es Dominus: non in uninus singularitate personae, sed in unius Trinitae substantiae. Quo denim de tua Gloria, revelante te, credimus, hoc de Filio tuo, hod de Spiritu Sancto, sine differentia discretionis sentimus. Ut in confessione verare, sempitiernaeque Deitatis, et in personis proprietas, et in essential unitas, et in majestate adoretur aequalitas. Quam laudant Angeli atque Archangeli, Cherubim, quoque ac Seraphim: qui non cessant clamare quotodie, una voce 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, ever-lasting God: Who, together with Thine only-begotten Son, and the Holy Ghost, are one God, one Lord: not in the oneness of a single Person, but in the Trinity of one substance. For what we believe by Thy revelation of Thy glory, the same do we believe of Thy Son, the same of the Holy Ghost, without difference or separation. So that in confessing the true and everlasting Godhead, distinction in persons, unity in essence, and equality in majesty may be adored. Which the Angels and Archangels, the Cherubim also and Seraphim do praise: who cease not daily to cry out with one voice saying:
      HOLY, HOLY, HOLY...
