PROPER OF THE MASS (lent2fri.htm)

Friday of the Second Week in Lent


Violet or Purple Vestments

Missa "Ego autem"

   Collecta at St. Agatha in Monasterio. Station at St. Vitalis. The meeting place today is in the deaconry of St. Agatha "of the Goths" in the Suburra, which was restored to Catholic worship by St. Gregory the Great.

   From there the procession went to the neighboring Church of Vestian, dedicated under Innocent I (402-17) to the martyr Vitalis. The martyrology of Ado confused this Vitalis with the saint of the same name at Ravenna. In the Mass, the choice of the lesson of Joseph let down by his brothers into an empty well, and the Gospel of the wicked husbandmen who stoned their master's son, was suggested by the Acta of St. Vitalis, which tell us how the martyr was first buried up to the waist in a pit and then stoned to death.

   The Church, as though she feared that the very splendor of her liturgy might lead simple folk into thinking that Christianity consisted merely in holding functions and receiving the sacraments, insists continually in her Lenten formulas that we should by our good works, give reality to what is so sublimely expressed in the liturgy.

    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

      EPISTLE:   Genesis 37: 6-22

      [Joseph and his brethren.]
    Léctio libri Génesis. In diébus iilis: Dixit Joseph frátribus suis: Audite sómnium meum, quod vidi: Putébam nos ligáre manípulos in agro: et quasi consúrgere manípulum meum, et stare, vestrósque manípulos circumstántes adoráre manípulum meum. Respondérunt fratres ejus: Numquid rex noster eris? aut subjiciémur ditióni tuæ? Hæc ergo causa somniórum atque sermónum, invídiæ et ódii fómitem ministrávit. Aliud quoque vidit sómnium, quod narrans frátribus, ait: Vidi per sómnium quasi solem, et lunam, et stellas undecim adoráre me. Quod cum patri suo et frátribus retulísset, increpávit eum pater suus, et dixit: Quid sibi vult hoc sómnium, quod vidísti? Num ego et mater tua et fratres tui adorábimus te super terram? Invidébant et ígitur fratres sui: pater vero rem tácitus considerábat. Cumque fra­tres illíus in pascéndis grégibus patris moraréntur in Sichem, dixit ad eum Israël: Fratres tui pascunt oves in Síchimis: veni, mittam te ad eos. Quo respondénte: Præsto sum, ait ei: Vade, et vide si cuncta próspera sint erga fratres tuos, et pécora: et renúntia mihi quid agátur. Missus de valle Hebron, venit in Sichem: invenítque eum vir errántem in agro, et interrogávit quid quaereret. At ille respóndit: Fratres meos quæro: índica mihi ubi pascant greges. Dixítque ei vir: Recessérunt de loco isto: audívi autem eos dicéntes: Eámus in Dóthain. Perréxit ergo Joseph post fratres suos, et invénit eos in Dóthain. Qui cum vidíssent eum procul, ántequam accéderet ad eos, cogitavérunt illum occídere: et mútuo loquebántur: Ecce somniátor venit: veníte, occidámus eum, et mittámus in cistérnam véterem, dicemúsque: Fera péssima devorávit eum: et tunc apparébit quid illi prosint sómnia sua. Audiens autem hoc Ruben, nitebátur liberáre eum de mánibus eórum, et dicébat: Non interficiátis ánimam ejus, nec effundátis sángui­nem: sed projícite eum in cistérnam hanc, quæ est in solitúdine, manúsque vestras serváte innóxias: hoc autem dicébat, volens erípere eum de ménibus eórum, et réddere patri suo.
    Deo Gratias.
    Lesson from the Book of Genesis. In those days Joseph said to his brethren: Hear my dream which I dreamed. I thought we were binding sheaves in the field: and my sheaf rose as it were, and stood, and your sheaves standing about, bowed down before my sheaf. His brethren answered: Shalt thou be our king? or shall we be subject to thy dominion? Therefore this matter of his dreams and words ministered nourishment to their envy and hatred. He dreamed also another dream, which he told to his brethren saying: I saw in a dream, as it were the sun, and the moon and eleven stars worshipping me. And when he had told this to his father, and brethren, his father rebuked him, and said: What meaneth this dream that thou hast dreamed? shall I and thy mother, and thy brethren worship thee upon the earth? His brethren therefore envied him: but his father considered the thing with himself. And when his brethren abode in Sichem, feeding their father's flocks, Israel said to him: Thy brethren feed the sheep in Sichem: come, I will send thee to them. And when he had answered: I am ready; he said to him: Go, and see if all things be well with thy brethren, and the cattle: and bring me word again what is doing. So being sent from the vale of Hebron, he came to Sichem: and a man found him there wandering in the field, and asked what he sought. But he answered: I seek my brethren, tell me where they feed the flocks. And the man said to him: They are departed from this place: for I heard them say: Let us go down to Dothain. And Joseph went forward after his brethren, and found them in Dothain. And when they saw him afar off, before he came nigh them, they thought to kill him. And said one to another: Behold the dreamer cometh. Come, let us kill him, and cast him into some old pit; and we will say: Some evil beast hath devoured him: and then it shall appear what his dreams shall avail him: and Ruben hearing this, endeavored to deliver him out of their hands, and said: Do not take away his life, nor shed his blood: but cast him into this pit, that is in the wilderness, and keep your hands harmless: now he said this, being desirous to deliver him out of their hands and to restore him to his father.
    Thanks be to God.

    GRADUAL    Psalm 119: 1,2
    Ad Dóminum cum tribulárer clamávi, et exaudívit me. V. Dómine, libera ánimam meam a lábiis iníquis, et a lingua dolósa.
    In my trouble I cried to the Lord: and He heard me. V. O Lord, deliver my soul from wicked lips, and a deceitful tongue.

    TRACT    Psalm 102: 10
    Dómine, non secúndum peccáta nostra, qua fécimus nos: neque secúndum iniquitátes nostras retríbuas nobis. V. (Ps. 78: 8-9) Dómine, ne memíneris iniquitátum nostrárum antiquárum: cito antícipent nos misericórdiæ tuæ, quia páuperes facti sumus nimis.
    (Here all kneel down)
    Adjuva nos, Deus salutáris noster: et propter glóriam nóminis tui, Dómíne, líbera nos: et propítius esto peccátis nostris, propter nomen tuum.
    O Lord, repay us not according to the sins we have committed, nor according to our iniquities. V. (Ps. 78: 8-9) O Lord, remember not our former iniquities: let Thy mercies speedily prevent us, for we are become exceeding poor.
    (Here all kneel down)
    Help Us, O Lord our Saviour: and for the glory of Thy name, O Lord, deliver us: and forgive us our sins for Thy name's sake.

    GOSPEL:    Matthew 21: 33-46
      [Parable of Christ: the destiny of the heathen and that of the Jews.]
    Dominus vobiscum.
    R. Et cum spiritu tuo.
    Sequentia sancti Evangelii secundum Matthaeum.
    R.Gloria tibi, Domine

    In illo témpore: Dixit Jesus turbis Judæórum, et princípibus sacerdótum parábolam hanc: "Homo erat paterfamílias, qui plantávit víneam, et sepem circúmdedit ei, et fodit in ea tórcular, et ædificávit turrim, et locávit eam agrícolis, et péregre proféctus est. Cum autem tempus frúctuum appropinquásset, misit servos suos ad agrícolas, ut accíperent fructus ejus. Et agrícolæ, apprehénsis servis ejus, álium cecidérunt, alium occidérunt, álium vero lapidavérunt. Iterum misit álios servos plures prióribus, et fecérunt illis simíliter. Novíssime autem misit ad eos fílium suum, dicens: Verebúntur fílium meum. Agricolæ autem vidéntes fílium, dixérunt intra se: Hic est heres, veníte, occidémus eum, et habébimus hereditátem ejus. Et apprehénsum eum ejecérunt extra víneam, et occidérunt. Cum ergo vénerit dóminus víneæ, quid fáciet agrícolis illis? Aiunt illi: Malos male perdet: et víneam suam locábit áliis agrícolis, qui reddant ei fructum tempóribus suis." Dicit illis Jesus: "Numquam legístis in Scriptúris: Lápidem, quem reprobavérunt ædificántes, hic factus est in caput ánguli? A Dómino factum est istud, et est mirábile in óculis nostris. Ideo dico vobis, quia auferétur a vobis regnum Dei, et dábitur genti faciénti fructus ejus. Et qui cecíderit super lápidem istum, confringétur: super quem vero cecíderit, cónteret eum." Et cum audíssent príncipes sacerdótum, et pharisæi parábolas ejus, cognovérunt quod de ipsis díceret. Et quæréntes eum tenére, timuérunt turbas: quóniam sicut prophétam eum habébant.
    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 the multitude of the Jews and the chief priests: "There was a certain householder who planted a vineyard, and made a hedge round about it, and dug in it a press, and built a tower, and let it out to husbandmen, and went into a strange country. And when the time of the fruits drew nigh, he sent his servants to the husbandmen, that they might receive the fruits thereof: and the husbandmen laying hands on the servants, beat one, and killed another, and stoned another. Again he sent other servants more. than the former, and they did to them in like manner; and last of all he sent to them his son, saying, They will reverence my son. But the husbandmen seeing the son, said among themselves, This is the heir: come, let us kill him, and we shall have his inheritance; and taking him, they cast him forth out of the vineyard, and killed him. When therefore the lord of the vineyard shall come, what will he do to those husbandmen? They say to Him, He will bring those evil men to an evil end, and will let out his vineyard to other husbandmen, that shall render him the fruit in due season." Jesus saith to them, "Have you never read in the Scriptures, The stone which the builders rejected, the same is become the head of the corner? By the Lord this hath been done, and it is wonderful in our eyes. Therefore I say to you, that the kingdom of God shall be taken from you, and shall be given to a nation yielding the fruits thereof. And whosoever shall fall on this stone shall be broken; but on whomsoever it shall fall, it shall grind him to powder." And when the chief priests and pharisees had heard His parables, they knew that He spoke of them; and seeking to lay hands on Him, they feared the multitudes, because they held Him as a prophet.
    Praise be to Christ
