Lesson from the book of Revelation
Apoc 19:1-9.
In that time: After these things I heard as it were the voice of much people in heaven, saying: Alleluia. Salvation, and glory, and power is to our God. For true and just are his judgments, who hath judged the great harlot which corrupted the earth with her fornication, and hath revenged the blood of his servants, at her hands. And again they said: Alleluia. And her smoke ascendeth for ever and ever. And the four and twenty ancients, and the four living creatures fell down and adored God that sitteth upon the throne, saying: Amen; Alleluia. And a voice came out from the throne, saying: Give praise to our God, all ye his servants; and you that fear him, little and great. And I heard as it were the voice of a great multitude, and as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of great thunders, saying, Alleluia: for the Lord our God the Almighty hath reigned. Let us be glad and rejoice, and give glory to him; for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife hath prepared herself. And it is granted to her that she should clothe herself with fine linen, glittering and white. For the fine linen are the justifications of saints. And he said to me: Write: Blessed are they that are called to the marriage supper of the Lamb. And he saith to me: These words of God are true.
Léctio libri Apocalýpsis beáti Joánnis Apóstoli
Apoc 19:1-9.
In diébus illis: Post hæc ego Joánnes audívi quasi vocem turbárum multárum in cœlo, dicéntium: Allelúja: salus et glória et virtus Deo nostro est: quia vera et justa judícia sunt ejus, qui judicávit de meretríce magna, quæ corrúpit terram in prostitutióne sua, et vindicávit sánguinem servórum suórum de mánibus ejus. Et íterum dixérunt: Allelúja. Et fumus ejus ascéndit in sǽcula sæculórum. Et cecidérunt senióres vigínti quátuor et quátuor animália, et adoravérunt Deum sedéntem super thronum, dicéntes: Amen, Allelúja, tit vox de throno exívit, dicens: Laudem dícite Deo nostro, omnes servi ejus; et, qui timétis eum, pusílli et magni. Et audívi quasi vocem turbæ magnæ, et sicut vocem aquárum multárum, et sicut vocem tonitruórum magnórum, dicentium: Alleiúja: quóniam regnávit Dóminus, Deus noster omnípotens. Gaudeámus et exsultémus et demus glóriam ei: quia venérunt núptiæ Agni et uxor ejus præparávit se. Et datum est illi, ut coopériat se býssina splendénti et cándido. Býssinum enim justificatiónes sunt Sanctórum. Et dixit mihi: Scribe: Beáti, qui ad cœnam nuptiárum Agni vocáti sunt.
Alleluia, alleluia.
Sir 39:19
Thy Saints, O Lord, shall flourish as the lily, and shall be before Thee as the odour of balm. Alleluia.
Ps 115:15
Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of His Saints. Alleluia.
Allelúja, allelúja.
Sir 39:19
Sancti tui, Dómine, florébunt sicut lílium: et sicut odor bálsami erunt ante te. Allelúja.
Ps 115:15
Pretiósa in conspéctu Dómini mors Sanctórum ejus. Allelúja.
Continuation ☩ of the Holy Gospel according to John
John 15:5-11
In that time, Jesus said to his disciples: I am the vine: you the branches: he that abideth in me, and I in him, the same beareth much fruit: for without me you can do nothing. If any one abide not in me, he shall be cast forth as a branch, and shall wither, and they shall gather him up, and cast him into the fire, and he burneth. If you abide in me, and my words abide in you, you shall ask whatever you will, and it shall be done unto you. In this is My Father glorified, that you bring forth very much fruit, and become My disciples. As the Father hath loved Me, I also have loved you. Abide in My love. If you keep My commandments, you shall abide in My love; as I also have kept My Father's commandments, and do abide in His love. These things I have spoken to you, that My joy may be in you, and your joy may be filled.
Sequéntia ☩ sancti Evangélii secúndum Joánnem
Joannes 15:5-11
In illo témpore: Dixit Jesus discípulis suis: Ego sum vitis, vos pálmites: qui manet in me, et ego in eo, hic fert fructum multum: quia sine me nihil potéstis fácere. Si quis in me non mánserit, mittétur foras sicut palmes, et aréscet, et cólligent eum, et in ignem mittent, et ardet. Si manséritis in me, et verba mea in vobis mánserint: quodcúmque voluéritis, petétis, et fiet vobis. In hoc clarificátus est Pater meus, ut fructum plúrimum afferátis, et efficiámini mei discípuli. Sicut diléxit me Pater, et ego diléxi vos. Manéte in dilectióne mea. Si præcépta mea servavéritis, manébitis in dilectióne mea, sicut et ego Patris mei præcépta servávi, et máneo in ejus dilectióne. Hæc locútus sum vobis, ut gáudium meum in vobis sit, et gáudium vestrum impleátur.
Ps 31:11
Rejoice in the Lord and be glad, ye just; and glory, all ye right of heart, alleluia, alleluia.
Ps 31:11
Lætámini in Dómino et exsultáte, justi: et gloriámini, omnes recti corde, allelúja, allelúja.
Graciously accept, O Lord, the sacrifices dedicated to Your blessed Martyrs Gordian and Epimachus, and grant that they may bring us constant help.
Through our Lord…
Hóstias tibi, Dómine, beatórum Martyrum tuórum Gordiáni et Epímachi dicátas méritis, benígnus assúme: et ad perpétuum nobis tríbue proveníre subsídium.
Per Dominum…
Common
It is truly meet and just, and profitable unto salvation, that we should at all times, and in all places, give thanks to Thee, O Holy Lord, Father Almighty, eternal God, through Christ, our Lord. Through whom the Angels praise Thy Majesty, the Dominions adore it, the Powers are in awe. Which the heavens and the hosts of heaven together with the blessed Seraphim joyfully do magnify. And do Thou command that it be permitted us to join with them in confessing Thee, while we say with lowly praise:
Communis
Vere dignum et justum est, æquum et salutáre, nos tibi semper et ubíque grátias ágere: Dómine sancte, Pater omnípotens, ætérne Deus: per Christum, Dóminum nostrum. Per quem majestátem tuam laudant Angeli, adórant Dominatiónes, tremunt Potestátes. Cæli cælorúmque Virtútes ac beáta Séraphim sócia exsultatióne concélebrant. Cum quibus et nostras voces ut admítti jubeas, deprecámur, súpplici confessione dicéntes:
Ps 32:1
Rejoice in the Lord, ye just: praise becometh the upright, alleluia.
Ps 32:1
Gaudéte, justi, in Dómino, allelúja: rectos decet collaudátio, allelúja.
We who have eaten of the heavenly food beseech You, almighty God, that it may protect us from all harm by the intercession of Your holy Martyrs, Gordian and Epimachus.
Through our Lord…
Quǽsumus, omnípotens Deus: ut, qui cœléstia aliménta percépimus, intercedéntibus sanctis Martýribus tuis Gordiáno et Epímacho, per hæc contra ómnia advérsa muniámur.
Per Dominum…
