Epistle:

[Col 1:9-14] Fratres: Non cessámus pro vobis orántes et postuléntes, ut impleémini agnitióne voluntétis Dei, in omni sapiéntia et intelléctu spiritáli: ut ambulétis digne Deo per ómnia placéntes: in omni ópere bono fructificéntes, et crescéntes in sciéntia Dei: in omni virtúte confortáti secúndum poténtiam claritétis ejus in omni patiéntia et longanimitéte cum gáudio, grátias agéntes Deo Patri, qui dignos nos fecit in partem sortis sanctórum in lúmine: qui erípuit nos de potestáte tenebrárum, et tránstulit in regnum Fílii dilectiónis suæ, in quo habémus redemptiónem per sánguinem ejus, remissiónem peccatórum.

[Col 1:9-14] Brethren: We cease not to pray for you, and to beg that you may be filled with the knowledge of the will of God, in all wisdom and spiritual understanding; that you may walk worthy of God, in all things pleasing, being fruitful in every good work, and increasing in the knowledge of God; strengthened with all might according to the power of His glory, in all patience and long suffering with joy; giving thanks to God the Father, who hath made us worthy to be partakers of the lot of the saints in light: Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of the Son of His love, in whom we have redemption through His blood, the remission of sins.

[Psalm 43:8-9] Liberásti nos, Dómine, ex affligéntibus nos: et eos, qui nos odérunt, confudísti. V. In Deo laudábimur tota die et in nómine tuo confitébimur in sǽcula.

[Psalm 43:8-9] Thou hast delivered us, O Lord, from them that afflict us: and hast put them to shame that hate us. V. In God we will glory all the day: and in Thy name we will give praise for ever.

Gospel:

[Matthew 24:13-25] In illo témpore: Dixit Jesus discípulis suis: Cum vidéritis abominatiónem desolatiónis quæ dicta est a Daniéle prophéta, stantem in loco sancto: qui legit, intélligat: tunc qui in Jud?a sunt, fúgiant ad montes: et qui in tecto, non descéndat tóllere áliquid de domo sua: et qui in agro, non revertátur tóllere túnicam suam. Væ autem prægnántibus et nutriéntibus in illis diébus. Oráte autem ut non fiat fuga vestra in hiéme vel sábbato. Erit enim tunc tribulátio magna, qualis non fuit ab inítio mundi usque modo, neque fiet. Et nisi breviáti fuíssent dies illi, non fíeret salva omnis caro: sed propter eléctos breviabúntur dies illi. Tunc si quis vobis díxerit: Ecce hic est Christus, aut illic: nolíte crédere. Surgent enim pseudochrísti et pseudoprophétæ: et dabunt signa magna, et prodígia, ita ut in errórem inducántur (si fíeri potest) étiam elécti. Ecce prædíxi vobis. Si ergo díxerint vobis: Ecce in desérto est, nolite exire: ecce in penetrálibus, nolite crédere. Sicut enim fulgur exit ab Oriénte et paret usque in Occidéntem: ita erit et advéntus Fílii hóminis. Ubicúmque fúerit corpus, illic congregabúntur et áquilæ. Statim autem post tribulatiónem diérum illórum sol obscurábitur, et luna non dabit lumen suum, et stellæ cadent de cœlo, et virtútes cœlórum commovebúntur: et tunc parébit signum Fílii hóminis in célo: et tunc plangent omnes tribus terræ: et vidébunt Filium hóminis veniéntem in núbibus cœli cum virtúte multa et majestáte. Et mittet Angelos suos cum tuba et voce magna: et congregábunt eléctos ejus a quátuor ventis, a summis cœlórum usque ad términos eórum. Ab árbore autem fici díscite parábolam: cum jam ramus ejus tener fúerit et fólia nata, scitis quia prope est æstas: ita et vos cum vidéritis hæc ómnia, scitóte quia prope est in jánuis. Amen dico vobis, quia non præteríbit generátio hæc, donec ómnia hæc fiant. Cœlum et terra transíbunt, verba autem mea non præteríbunt.

[Matthew 24:13-25] At that time, Jesus said to His disciples: When you shall see the abomination of desolation, which was spoken of by Daniel the Prophet, standing in the holy place; (he that readeth, let him understand:) then they that are in Judea, let them flee to the mountains; and he that is on the housetop, let him not come down to take anything out of his house; and he that is in the field, let him not go back to take his coat. And woe to them that are with child and that give suck, in those days. But pray that your flight be not in the winter, or on the sabbath: for there shall be then great tribulation, such as hath not been found from the beginning of the world until now, neither shall be: and unless those days had been shortened, no flesh should be saved; but for the sake of the elect, those days shall be shortened. Then if any man shall say to you: Lo here is Christ, or there; do not believe him; for there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall show great signs and wonders, insomuch as to deceive (if possible) even the elect. Behold I have told it to you beforehand. If therefore they shall say to you: Behold He is in the desert, go ye not out; Behold He is in the closets, believe it not. For as lightning cometh out of the east, and appeareth even into the west, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. Wheresoever the body shall be, there shall the eagles also be gathered together. And immediately after the tribulation of those days, the sun shall be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of heaven shall be moved; and then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven, and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn; and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with much power and majesty. And He shall send His angels with a trumpet and a loud voice, and they shall gather together His elect from the four winds, from the farthest parts of the heavens to the utmost bounds of them. And from the figtree learn a parable: when the branch thereof is now tender, and the leaves come forth, you know that summer is nigh. So you also, when you shall see all these things, know ye that it is nigh even at the doors. Amen I say to you that this generation shall not pass till all these things be done. Heaven and earth shall pass away, but My words shall not pass away.

Offertory:

De profúndis clamávi ad te, Dómine: Dómine, exáudi oratiónem meam: de profúndis clamávi ad te, Dómine. [Psalm 129:1,2]

From the depths I have cried out to Thee, O Lord: Lord, hear my prayer: from the depths I have cried out to Thee, O Lord. [Psalm 129:1,2]

Secret:

Propítius esto, Dómine, supplicatiónibus nostris: et pópuli tui oblatiónibus precibúsque suscéptis, ómnium nostrum ad te corda convérte; ut a terrénis cupiditátibus liberáti, ad cœléstia desidéria transeámus. Per Dóminum nostrum.

Be gracious, O Lord, to our humble entreaties: receive the offerings and prayers of Thy people, and turn to Thyself the hearts of us all; and thus freed from earthly covetings, may we be caught by heavenly desires. Through our Lord.

Preface: Preface of the Most Holy Trinity

Vere dignum et justum est, æquum et salutáre, nos tibi semper et ubique grátias ágere, Dómine sancte, Pater omnípotens, ætérne Deus: Qui cum unigénito Fílio tuo, et Spíritu Sancto, unus es Deus, unus es Dóminus: non in unius singularitáte persónæ, sed in unius Trinitáte substántiæ. Quod enim de tua glória, revelánte te, crédimus, hoc de Fílio tuo, hoc de Spiritu Sancto, sine differéntia discretiónis sentímus. Ut in confessióne veræ, sempiternæque Deitátis, et in persónis propríetas et in esséntia únitas, et in majestáte adorétur æquálitas. Quam laudant Angelí, atque Archángeli, Chérubim quoque ac Séraphim: qui non cessant clamáre quotidíe, una voce dicéntes: Sanctus, Sanctus, Sanctus.

It is truly meet and just, right and for our salvation, that we should at all times, and in all places, give thanks to Thee, holy Lord, Father almighty, eternal God: Who, together with Thine only-begotten Son and the Holy Ghost, art one God, one Lord: not in the Oneness of a single Person, but in the Trinity of one substance. For what by Thy revelation we believe 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 eternal Godhead, in It we should adore distinction in persons, unity in Essence, and equality in Majesty: in praise of which Angels and Archangels, Cherubim also and Seraphim day and night exclaim, without end and with one voice saying: Holy, Holy, Holy.

Communion:

Amen dico vobis, quidquid orántes pétitis, crédite quia accipiétis, et fiet vobis. [Mark 11:24]

Amen I say to you, whatsœver you ask when you pray, believe that you shall receive, and it shall be done to you. [Mark 11:24

Postcommunion:

Concéde nobis, quǽsumus, Dómine: ut per hæc sacraménta quæ súmpsimus, quidquid in nostra mente vitiósum est, ipsórum medicatiónis dono curétur. Per Dóminum nostrum.

Grant unto us, we beseech Thee, O Lord, that through these Sacraments which we have received, whatsoever is in our minds corrupt, may be cured by the gift of their power to heal. Through our Lord.
