RED Vestments

Missa "Justi epulentur"

       Marius and Martha his wife were Persian nobles, who with their two sons, Audifax and Abachum came to Rome to worship God in the reign of Claudius II. There they visited Christians cast into prison for their faith: "You had compassion on prisoners," says the Epistle. They devoted themselves in many ways to the service of religion: but soon they had themselves to suffer for the faith: for "they were tortured and put to death" (Gospel).

       "Without fearing the persecutors" (Communion), they underwent all these torments with prayers of thanksgiving on their lips, for in them they saw like "the sparrow liberated from the bird catcher's net and who escapes towards heaven" (Offertory) the means of going to enjoy God for evermore (Introit). They were martyred in 270.

       Let us ask Jesus Christ "Who showed Himself so admirably in these martyrs." (Alleluia) also to make manifest in our souls the effects of His divine power so that, "enjoying peace in this life, we may in the other receive the eternal reward" (Collect).

      EPISTLE:   Hebrews: 10. 32-38
      Lectio Epistolae beati Pauli Apostoli ad Habraeos. Fratres: Rememoramini pristinos dies, in quibus illuminati magnum certamen sustinuistis passionum: et in altero quidem opprobris, et tribulationibus spectaculum facti: in altero autem socil taliter conversantium effecti. Nam et vinctis compassi estis, et rapinam bonorum vestrorum cum gaudio suscepistis, cognoscentes vos habere meliorem, et manentem substantiam. Nolitae itaque amittere confidentiam vestram, quae magnam habet remunerationem. Patientia enim vobis necessary est: ut volunatem Dei facientes, reportetis promissionem. adhu enim modicum aliquantulum, qui venturus est, veniet, et non tardabit. Justus autem meus ex fide vivit.
      Deo Gratias.
      Lesson from the Epistle of blessed Paul the Apostle to the Hebrews. Brethren, call to mind the former days, wherein being illuminated, you endured a great fight of afflictions. And on the one hand indeed, by reproaches and tribulations, were made a gazing-stock; and on the other, became companions of them that were used in such sort For you both had compassion on them that were in bands, and took with joy the being stripped of your own goods, knowing that you have a better and a lasting substance. Do not therefore lose your confidence, which hath a great reward. For patience is necessary for you; that, doing the will of God, you may receive the promise. For yet a little and a very little while, and He that is to come will come, and will not delay. But my just man liveth by faith.
      Thanks be to God.

      GOSPEL:   Matthew 24: 3-13
      Dominus vobiscum.
      R. Et cum spiritu tuo.
      Sequentia sancti Evangelii secundum Matthaeum.
      R.Gloria tibi, Domine

      In illo tempore: Sedente Jesu super montem Oliveti, accesserunt ad eum discipuli secreto, dicdentes: Dic nobis, quando haec erunt? et quod signum adventus tuii, et consummationis saeculi? Et respondens Jesus, dixit eis: Videte, ne quis vos seducat. Multi enim venient in nominee meo, dicentes: Ego sum Christus: et multos seducent Audituri enim estis praelia, et opinions praeliorum. Videte ne turbemini. Oportet enim haec fieri, sed nondum est finis. Consurget enim gens in gentem, et regnum in regnum et erunt pestilentiae, et fames, et terraemotus per loca. Haec qutem omnia, initia sunt dolorum. Tunc trident vos in tribulationem, et occident vos: et eritis odio omnibus gentibus propter nomen meum. Et tunc scandalizabuntur multi, et invicem trident, et odio habebunt invicem. Et multi pseudoprophetae surgent, et seducent multos. Et quoniam abundavit iniquitas, refrigescet caritas multorum. Qui autem perseveraverit usque in finem, hic salvus erit.
      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, as Jesus was sitting on mount Olivet, the disciples came to Him privately, saying: Tell us when shall these things be? And what shall be the sign of Thy coming and of the consummation of the world? And Jesus answering, said to them: Take heed that no man seduce you. For many will come in My name, saying: I am Christ: and they will seduce many. For you shall hear of wars and rumours of wars. See that ye be not troubled. For these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom, and there shall be pestilences, and famines, and earthquakes in places. Now all these are the beginnings of sorrows. Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall put you to death: and you shall be hated by all nations for My name's sake. And then shall many be scandalized, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another. And many false prophets shall rise, and shall seduce many. And because iniquity hath abounded, the charity of many shall grow cold. But he that shall persevere to the end, he shall be saved.
      Praise be to Christ

Per quem majestatem Tuam laudant Angeli, adorant Dominationes, tremunt Potestates, Coeli, Coelorumque Virtutes, ac beata Seraphim socia exultatione concelebrant.

      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: 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 them we entreat Thee, that Thou mayest bid our voices also to be admitted, while we say in lowly praise:
      HOLY, HOLY, HOLY...
