S. Pii X Papæ Confessoris

After Pentecost

v. Extuli eléctum de pópulo, óleo sancto meo unxi eum: ut manus mea sit semper cum eo, et brácchium meum confírmet eum.

Ps. 88:2

Grátias Dómini in ætérnum cantábo: per omnes generatiónes annuntiábo fidelitátem tuam ore meo.

v. Extuli eléctum de pópulo, óleo sancto meo unxi eum: ut manus mea sit semper cum eo, et brácchium meum confírmet eum.

v. I have raised up the chosen one from the people; with My holy oil I have anointed him, that My hand may be always with him, and that My arm may make him strong.

The favors of the Lord I will sing forever; through all generations my mouth shall proclaim Your faithfulness.

v. I have raised up the chosen one from the people; with My holy oil I have anointed him, that My hand may be always with him, and that My arm may make him strong.

Deus, qui ad tuéndam cathólicam fidem, et univérsa in Christo instauránda sanctum Pium, Summum Pontíficem, cælésti sapiéntia et apostólica fortitúdine replevísti: concéde propítius; ut, ejus institúta et exémpla sectántes, præmia consequámur ætérna.

Per eúndem Dóminum nostrum Jesum Christum Fílium tuum, qui tecum vivit et regnat in unitáte Spíritus Sancti, Deus, per ómnia sǽcula sæculórum.

Amen.

O God Who, for the defense of the Catholic faith and the restoration of all things in Christ, filled St. Pius, the Supreme Pontiff, with heavenly wisdom and apostolic fearlessness, mercifully grant that, by following his teachings and examples, we may receive Your eternal rewards.

Through the same Jesus Christ, thy Son, Our Lord, Who liveth and reigneth with thee in the unity of the Holy Ghost, God, world without end.

Amen.

1 Thess. 2:2-8

Lesson from the first letter of St. Paul the Apostle to the Thessalonians

Brethren: We had confidence in our God to preach to you the gospel of God amid much anxiety. For our exhortation was not from error, nor from impure motives, nor from guile; but, as approved by God to be entrusted with the gospel, so we speak not as pleasing men, but God, Who proves our hearts. For at no time have we used words of flattery, as you know, nor any pretext for avarice, God is witness, nor have we sought glory from men, neither from you nor from others.

Although as the apostles of Christ we could have claimed a position of honor among you, still while in your midst we were as children, as if a nurse were cherishing her own children. So, we, in our love for you, would gladly have imparted to you not only the gospel of God, but also our own souls, because you had become most dear to us.

Ps 39:10-11

v. Annuntiávi justítiam tuam in cœtu magno; ecce lábia mea non cohíbui: Dómine, tu nosti.

V. Justítiam tuam non abscóndi in corde meo; fidelitátem tuam et auxílium tuum narrávi. Allelúia, allelúia.

Ps 22:5-6

Paras mihi mensam, inúngis óleo caput meum, calix meus ubérrimus est. Allelúia.

I announced Your justice in the vast assembly; I did not restrain my lips as You, O Lord, know.

V. Your justice I kept not hid within my heart; Your faithfulness and Your salvation I have spoken of. Alleluia, alleluia.

Ps 22:5-6

V. You spread the table before me; You anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows. Alleluia.

Ps 131:16-18

v. Sacerdótes ejus índuam salúte, et sancti ejus exsultántes exsultábunt.

V. Illic David suscitábo cornu, parábo lucérnam uncto meo.

V. Inimícos ejus índuam confusióne, super ipsum autem fulgébit diadéma meum.

Her priests I will clothe with salvation, and her faithful ones shall shout merrily for joy.

V. In her will I make a horn to sprout forth for David; I will place a lamp for My anointed.

V. His enemies I will clothe with shame, but upon him My crown shall shine.

John 21:15-17

Continuation + of the Holy Gospel according to John

At that time, Jesus said to Simon Peter, Simon, son of John, do you love Me more than these do? He said to Him, Yes, Lord, You know that I love You. He said to him, Feed My lambs.

He said to him a second time, Simon, son of John, do you love Me? He said to Him, Yes, Lord, You know that I love You. He said to him, Feed My lambs.

And third time He said to him, Simon, son of John, do you love Me? Peter was grieved because He said to him for the third time, Do you love Me? And he said to Him, Lord, You know all things, You know that I love You.

He said to him, Feed My sheep.

Ps 33:12

v. Veníte, fílii; audíte me: timórem Dómini docébo vos.

Come, children, hear me; I will teach you the fear of the Lord.

Oblatiónibus nostris, quǽsumus, Dómine, benígne suscéptis, da nobis, ut hæc divína mystéria, sancto Pio Summo Pontífice intercedénte, sincéris tractémus obséquiis et fidéli mente sumámus.

Per Dóminum nostrum Jesum Christum, Fílium tuum: qui tecum vivit et regnat in unitáte Spíritus Sancti Deus, per ómnia sǽcula sæculórum.

Amen.

Having graciously accepted our offerings, we beseech You, O Lord, that we may ever treat this divine sacrament with sincere veneration and receive it with faithful heart, through the prayers of St. Pius, Your Supreme Pontiff.

Through Jesus Christ, thy Son our Lord, Who liveth and reigneth with thee, in the unity of the Holy Ghost, God, world without end.

Amen.

John 6:56-57

Caro enim mea vere est cibus: et sanguis meus, vere est potus; qui mandúcat meam carnem et bibit meum sánguinem, in me manet, et ego in illo.

My Flesh is food indeed, and My Blood is drink indeed. He who eats My Flesh and drinks My Blood, abides in Me and I in him.

Mensæ cæléstis virtúte refécti, quǽsumus, Dómine Deus noster: ut, interveniénte sancto Pio Summo Pontífice; fortes efficiámur in fide, et in tua simus caritáte concórdes.

Per Dóminum nostrum Jesum Christum, Fílium tuum: qui tecum vivit et regnat in unitáte Spíritus Sancti Deus, per ómnia sǽcula sæculórum.

Amen.

We, who have been filled with strength at the heavenly table, beseech You, O Lord, our God, that by the intercession of St. Pius, Supreme Pontiff, we may be made firm in faith and of one mind in Your love.

Through Jesus Christ, thy Son our Lord, Who liveth and reigneth with thee, in the unity of the Holy Ghost, God, world without end.

Amen.
