O God, Who didst choose thy blessed servant Matthias to be of the number of the twelve Apostles, grant, we beseech thee, that thy Church, being upholden by his prayers, may ever feel about her the arms of thy most mighty protection.

Lesson from the Acts of Apostles
Acts 1:15-26
In those days, Peter stood up in the midst of the brethren - now the number of persons met together was about a hundred and twenty - and he said, Brethren, the Scripture must be fulfilled which the Holy Spirit declared before by the mouth of David concerning Judas, who was the guide of those who arrested Jesus; inasmuch as he had been numbered among us and was allotted his share in this ministry. And he indeed bought a field with the price of his iniquity and, being hanged, burst asunder in the midst, and all his bowels gushed out. And it became known to all the residents of Jerusalem, so that the field came to be called in their language Haceldama, that is, the Field of Blood. For it is written in the book of Psalms, ‘Let their habitation become desolate and let there be none to dwell in it.’ And, ‘His ministry let another take.’ Therefore, of these men who have been in our company all the time that the Lord Jesus moved among us, from John’s baptism until the day that He was taken up from us, of these one must become a witness with us of His Resurrection.” And they put forward two: Joseph, called Barsabbas, who was surnamed Justus, and Matthias. And they prayed and said, You, Lord, Who know the hearts of all, show which of these two You have chosen to take the place in this ministry and apostleship from which Judas fell away to go to his own place. And they drew lots between them, and the lot fell upon Matthias; and he was numbered with the eleven apostles.
Léctio Actuum Apostolórum
Act 1, 15-26.
In diébus illis exsúrgens Petrus in médio fratrum, dixit - erat autem turba hóminum simul, fere centum vigínti -: Viri fratres, opórtet impléri Scriptúram, quam prædíxit Spíritus Sanctus per os David de Juda, qui fuit dux eórum, qui comprehendérunt Jesum: qui connumerátus erat in nobis, et sortítus est sortem ministérii hujus. Et hic quidem possédit agrum de mercéde iniquitátis, et suspénsus crépuit médius: et diffúsa sunt ómnia víscera ejus. Et notum factum est ómnibus habitántibus Jerúsalem, ita ut appellarétur ager ille, lingua eórum, Hacéldama, hoc est ager sánguinis. Scriptum est enim in libro Psalmórum: Fiat commorátio eórum desérta, et non sit, qui inhábitet in ea: et episcopátum ejus accípiat alter. Opórtet ergo ex his viris, qui nobíscum sunt congregáti in omni témpore, quo intrávit et exívit inter nos Dóminus Jesus, incípiens a baptísmate Joánnis usque in diem, qua assúmptus est a nobis, testem resurrectiónis ejus nobíscum fíeri unum ex istis. Et statuérunt duos, Joseph qui vocabátur Bársabas, qui cognominátus est Justus, et Matthíam. Et orántes dixérunt: Tu, Dómine, qui corda nosti ómnium, osténde, quem elégeris ex his duóbus unum, accípere locum ministérii hujus et apostolátus, de quo prævaricátus est Judas, ut abíret in locum suum. Et dedérunt sortes eis, et cécidit sors super Matthíam, et annumerátus est cum úndecim Apóstolis.
Ps 138:17-18
Your friends, O God, are exceedingly honorable; their principality is exceedingly strengthened.
℣. Were I to recount them, they would outnumber the sands.
Ps 20:3-4
You have granted him his heart’s desire. You refused not the wish of his lips.
℣. For You welcomed him with goodly blessings.
℣. You placed on his head a crown of pure gold.
Ps 138:17-18
Nimis honoráti sunt amíci tui, Deus: nimis confortátus est principatus eórum.
℣. Dinumerábo eos, et super arénam multiplicabúntur.
Tractus
Ps 20:3-4
Desidérium ánimæ ejus tribuísti ei: et voluntáte labiórum ejus non fraudásti eum.
℣. Quóniam prævenísti eum in benedictiónibus dulcédinis.
℣. Posuísti in cápite ejus corónam de lápide pretióso.
Continuation ☩ of the Holy Gospel according to Matthew
Matt 11:25-30
At that time, Jesus spoke and said, I praise You, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that You hid these things from the wise and prudent, and revealed them to little ones. Yes, Father, for such was Your good pleasure. All things have been delivered to Me by My Father; and no one knows the Son except the Father; nor does anyone know the Father except the Son, and him to whom the Son chooses to reveal Him. Come to Me, all you who labor and are burdened, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you, and learn from Me, for I am meek and humble of heart; and you will find rest for your souls. For My yoke is easy, and My burden light.
Sequéntia ☩ sancti Evangélii secúndum Matthǽum
Matt 11:25-30
In illo témpore: Respóndens Jesus, dixit: Confíteor tibi, Pater, Dómine coeli et terræ, quia abscondísti hæc a sapiéntibus et prudéntibus, et revelásti ea párvulis. Ita, Pater: quóniam sic fuit plácitum ante te. Omnia mihi trádita sunt a Patre meo. Et nemo novit Fílium nisi Pater: neque Patrem quis novit nisi Fílius, et cui volúerit Fílius reveláre. Veníte ad me, omnes, qui laborátis et oneráti estis, et ego refíciam vos. Tóllite jugum meum super vos, et díscite a me, quia mitis sum et húmilis corde: et inveniétis réquiem animábus vestris. Jugum enim meum suáve est et onus meum leve.
Ps 44:17-18
You shall make them princes through all the land; they shall remember Your name, O Lord, through all generations.
Ps 44:17-18
Constítues eos príncipes super omnem terram: mémores erunt nóminis tui, Dómine, in omni progénie et generatióne.
May the prayer of Your holy Apostle Matthias, O Lord, accompany the sacrificial gifts which we offer to be hallowed in Your name, so that we may obtain pardon and protection.
Through our Lord…
Hóstias tibi, Dómine, quas nómini tuo sacrándas offérimus, sancti Matthíæ Apóstoli tui prosequátur orátio: per quam nos expiári fácias et deféndi.
Per Dominum…
of Apostles
It is truly meet and just, right and for our salvation, to entreat Thee humbly, O Lord, that Thou wouldst not desert Thy flock, O everlasting Shepherd, but, through Thy blessed Apostles, wouldst keep it under Thy constant protection; that it may be governed by those same rulers, whom as vicars of Thy work, Thou didst set over it to be its pastors. And therefore with Angels and Archangels, with Thrones and Dominations, and with all the hosts of the heavenly army, we sing the hymn of Thy glory, evermore saying:
de Apostolis
Vere dignum et justum est, æquum et salutáre: Te, Dómine, supplíciter exoráre, ut gregem tuum, Pastor ætérne, non déseras: sed per beátos Apóstolos tuos contínua protectióne custódias. Ut iísdem rectóribus gubernétur, quos óperis tui vicários eídem contulísti præésse pastóres. Et ídeo cum Angelis et Archángelis, cum Thronis et Dominatiónibus cumque omni milítia cœléstis exércitus hymnum glóriæ tuæ cánimus, sine fine dicéntes:
Matt 19:28
You who have followed Me shall sit on thrones judging the twelve tribes of Israel.
Matt 19:28
Vos, qui secúti estis me, sedébitis super sedes, judicántes duódecim tribus Israël.
Grant, almighty God, we pray You, that through the intercession of blessed Matthias, Your Apostle, we may obtain pardon and peace through the holy things of which we have partaken.
Through our Lord…
Præsta, quǽsumus, omnípotens Deus: ut per hæc sancta, quæ súmpsimus, interveniénte beáto Matthía Apóstolo tuo, véniam consequámur et pacem.
Per Dominum…
