Epistle:
[I Cor 13:1-13] Fratres: Si linguis hóminum loquar, et Angelórum, caritátem autem non hábeam, factus sum velut æs sonans, aut cýmbalum tínniens. Et si habúero prophetíam, et nóverim mystéria ómnia et omnem sciéntiam: et si habúero omnem fidem ita ut montes tránsferam, caritátem autem non habúero, nihil sum. Et si distribúero in cibos páuperum omnes facultátes meas, et si tradídero corpus meum, ita ut árdeam, caritátem autem non habúero, nihil mihi prodest. Cáritas pátiens est, benígna est: cáritas non æmulátur, non agit pérperam, non inflàtur, non est ambitiósa, non quærit quæ sua sunt, non irritátur, non cógitat malum, non gaudet super iniquitáte, congáudet autem veritáti: ómnia suffert, ómnia credit, ómnia sperat, ómnia sústinet. Cáritas numquam éxcidit: sive prophetíæ evacuabúntur, sive linguæ cessábunt, sive sciéntia destruétur. Ex parte enim cognócimus, et ex parte prophetámus. Cum autem vénerit quod perféctum est, evacuábitur quod ex parte est. Cum essem párvulus, loquébar ut párvulus, sapiébam ut párvulus, cogitábam ut párvulus. Quando autem factus sum vir, evacuávi quæ erant párvuli. Vidémus nunc per spéculum in ænígmate: tunc autem fácie ad fáciem. Nunc cognósco ex parte: tunc autem cognóscam sicut et cógnitus sum. Nunc autem manent fides, spes, cáritas, tria hæc: major autem horum est cáritas.
[I Cor 13:1-13] Brethren: If I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not charity, I am become as sounding brass or a tinkling cymbal. And if I should have prophecy, and should know all mysteries and all knowledge; and if I should have all faith so that I could remove mountains, and have not charity, I am nothing. And if I should distribute all my goods to feed the poor, and if I should deliver my body to be burned and have not charity, it profiteth me nothing. Charity is patient, is kind; Charity envieth not, dealeth not perversely, is not puffed up, is not ambitious, seeketh not her own, is not provoked to anger, thinketh no evil, rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth with the truth; beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things. Charity never falleth away; whether prophecies shall be made void, or tongues shall cease, or knowledge shall be destroyed. For we know in part, and we prophesy in part. But when that which is perfect is come, that which is in part shall be done away. When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child. But when I became a man, I put away the things of a child. We see now through a glass in a dark manner; but then face to face. Now I know in part; but then I shall know even as I am known. And now there remain faith, hope and charity, these three; but the greatest of these is charity.

notam fecísti in géntibus virtútem tuam. [Psalm 76:15-16]

servíte Dómino in lætítia.
V. Intráte in conspéctu ejus, in exsultatióne:
scitóte quod Dóminus ipse est Deus.
V. Ipse fecit nos, et non ipsi nos:
nos autem pópulus ejus, et oves páscuæ ejus. [Psalm 99:1-2]

know ye that the Lord He is God.
V. He made us, and not we ourselves:
but we are His people and the sheep of His pasture. [Psalm 99:1-2]
Gospel:
[Saint Luke 18:31-43] In illo témpore:
Assúmpsit Jesus duódecim, et ait illis:
Ecce ascéndimus Jerosólymam, et consummabúntur ómnia, quæ scripta sunt per Prophétas de Fílio hóminis.
Tradétur enim géntibus, et illudétur, et flagellábitur, et conspuétur:
et postquam flagelláverint, occídent eum, et tértia die resúrget.
Et ipsi nihil horum intellexérunt, et erat verbum istud abscónditum ab eis, et non intelligébant quæ dicebántur.
Factum est autem, cum appropinquáret Jéricho, cæcus quidam sedébat secus viam, mendícans.
Et cum audíret turbam prætereúntem, interrogábat quid hoc esset.
Dixérunt autem ei, quod Jesus Nazarénus transíret.
Et clamavit, dicens:
Jesu, fili David, miserére mei.
Et qui præíbant, increpábant eum ut tacéret.
Ipse vero multo magis clamábat: Fili David, miserére mei.
Stans autem Jesus, jussit illum addúci ad se.
Et cum appropinquásset, interrogávit illum, dicens:
Quid tibi vis fáciam?
At ille dixit:
Dómine, ut vídeam.
Et Jesus dixit illi:
Réspice, fides tua te salvum fecit.
Et conféstim vidit, et sequebátur illum magníficans Deum.
Et omnis plebs ut vidit, dedit laudem Deo.
[Saint Luke 18:31-43] At that time Jesus took unto Him the twelve and said to them: Behold, we go up to Jerusalem, and all things shall be accomplished which were written by the Prophets concerning the Son of Man. For He shall be delivered to the Gentiles, and shall be mocked and scourged and spit upon: and after they have scourged Him, they will put Him to death, and the third day He shall rise again. And they understood none of these things, and this word was hid from them, and they understood not the things that were said. Now it came to pass, when He drew nigh to Jericho, that a certain blind man sat by the wayside, begging. And when he heard the multitude passing by, he asked what this meant. And they told him that Jesus of Nazareth was passing by. And he cried out, saying: Jesus, son of David, have mercy on me. And they that went before rebuked him, that he should hold his peace. But he cried out much more: Son of David, have mercy on me. And Jesus standing, commanded him to be brought unto him. And when he was come near, He asked him, saying: What wilt thou that I do to thee? But he said: Lord, that I may see. And Jesus said to him: Receive thy sight, thy faith hath made thee whole. And immediately he saw and followed Him glorifying God. And all the people, when they saw it, gave praise to God.
Offertory:
Benedíctus es, Dómine, doce me justificatiónes tuas:
in lábiis meis pronuntiávi ómnia judícia oris tui. [Psalm 118:12-13]
Blessed art Thou, O Lord, teach me Thy justifications: with my lips I have pronounced all the judgments of Thy mouth. [Psalm 118:12-13]
Secret:
Hæc hóstia, Dómine, quǽsumus, emúndet nostra delicta: et ad sacrifícium celebrándum, subditórum tibi córpora mentésque sanctíficet. Per Dóminum nostrum.
May these sacrifices, we beseech Thee, O Lord, cleanse our offenses, and sanctify the bodies and minds of Thy servants for the celebration of this sacrifice. Through our Lord.
Preface: Preface of the Most Holy Trinity
Vere dignum et justum est, aéquum et salutáre, nos tibi semper et ubíque grátias ágere:
Dómine sancte, Pater omnípotens, ætérne Deus.
Qui cum unigénito Fílio tuo, et Spíritu Sancto, unus es Deus, unus es Dóminus:
non in uníus singularitáte persónæ, sed in uníus Trinitáte substántiæ.
Quod enim de tua glória, revelánte te, crédimus, hoc de Fílio tuo, hoc de Spíritu Sancto, sine differéntia discretiónis sentímus.
Ut in confessióne veræ sempiternaéque Deitátis, et in persónis propríetas, et in esséntia únitas, et in majestáte adorétur æquálitas.
Quam laudant Ángeli, atque Archángeli, Chérubim quoque ac Séraphim:
qui non cessant clamáre quotídie, 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 unto Thee, O holy Lord, Father almighty, everlasting 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 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 …
Communion:
Manducavérunt, et saturáti sunt nimis, et desidérium eórum áttulit eis Dóminus: non sunt fraudáti a desidério suo [Psalm 77:29-30]
They did eat, and were filled exceedingly, and the Lord gave them their desire: they were not defrauded of that which they craved.
Postcommunion:
Quǽsumus, omnípotens Deus, ut qui cæléstia aliménta percépimus, per hæc contra Omnia advérsa muniámur. Per Dóminum nostrum.
We beseech Thee, almighty God, that we who have received this heavenly nourishment, may be strengthened by it against all adversities. Through our Lord.
