St. Camillus de Lellis, Confessor

S. Camilli de Lellis Confessoris

After Pentecost

John 15:13

v. Majórem hac dilectiónem nemo habet, ut ánimam suam ponat quis pro amícis suis.

Ps 40:2

Beátus, qui intéllegit super egénum et páuperem: in dic mala liberábit eum Dóminus.

v. Majórem hac dilectiónem nemo habet, ut ánimam suam ponat quis pro amícis suis.

v. Greater love than this no one has, that one lay down his life for his friends.

Ps 40:2

Happy is he who has regard for the lowly and the poor; in the day of misfortune the Lord will deliver him.

v. Greater love than this no one has, that one lay down his life for his friends.

Deus, qui sanctum Camíllum, ad animárum in extrémo agóne luctántium subsídium, singulári caritátis prærogatíva decorásti: ejus, quǽsumus, méritis, spíritum nobis tuæ dilectiónis infúnde; ut in hora éxitus nostri hostem víncere, et ad cœléstem mereámur corónam perveníre.

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

Amen.

O God, Who endowed St. Camillus with a special gift of charity for the help of souls struggling in their final agony, pour upon us, we beseech You, by his merits, the spirit of Your love, so that in the hour of our death we may be found worthy to overcome the enemy and attain the heavenly crown.

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.

Phil 4:4-9

Lesson from the letter of St. Paul the Apostle to the Philippians

Fratres: Gaudéte in Dómino semper: íterum dico, gaudéte. Modéstia vestra nota sit ómnibus homínibus: Dóminus prope est. Nihil sollíciti sitis; sed in omni oratióne et obsecratióne, cum gratiárum actióne, petitiónes vestræ innotéscant apud Deum.

Et pax Dei quæ exsúperat omnem sensum, custódiat corda vestra et intelligéntias vestras, in Christo Jesu. De cétero, fratres, quæcúmque sunt vera, quæcúmque púdica, quæcúmque justa, quæcúmque sancta, quæcúmque amabília, quæcúmque bonæ famæ, si qua virtus, si qua laus disciplínæ, hæc cogitáte. Quæ et didicístis, et accepístis, et audístis, et vidístis in me, hæc agite: et Deus pacis erit vobíscum.

Brethren: Rejoice in the Lord always; again I say, rejoice. Let your moderation be known to all men. The Lord is near.

Have no anxiety, but in every prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your petitions be made known to God. And may the peace of God which surpasses all understanding guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. For the rest, brethren, whatever things are true, whatever honorable, whatever just, whatever holy, whatever lovable, whatever of good repute, if there be any virtue, if anything worthy of praise, think upon these things.

And what you have learned and received and heard and seen in me, these things practice. And the God of peace will be with you.

Ps 36:3-5

Spera in Dómino, et fac bonitátem, et inhábita terram, et pascéris in divítiis ejus.

V. Delectáre in Dómino, et dabit tibi petitiónes cordis tui; revéla Dómino viam tuam et spera in eo, et ipse fáciet. Allelúja, allelúja

Ps 73:21

Pauper et inops laudábunt nomen tuum. Allelúja.

Trust in the Lord and do good, that you may dwell in the land and be fed with its riches.

V. Take delight in the Lord, and He will grant you your heart’s requests. Commit to the Lord your way; trust in Him, and He will act. Alleluia, alleluia.

Ps 73:21

V. The afflicted and the poor shall praise Your name. Alleluia.

Matt 18:1-5

Continuation + of the Holy Gospel according to Matthew

In illo témpore: Accessérunt discípuli ad Jesum dicéntes: Quis, putas, major est in regno cælórum? Et ádvocans Jesus párvulum, státuit eum in médio eórum, et dixit: Amen dico vobis, nisi convérsi fueritis, et efficiámini sicut párvuli, non intrábitis in regnum cœlórum. Quicúmque ergo humiliáverit se sicut párvulus iste, hic est major in regno cœlórum.

Et qui suscéperit unum párvulum talem in nómine meo, me súscipit.

At that time, the disciples came to Jesus, saying, Who then is greatest in the kingdom of heaven? And Jesus called a little child to Him, set him in their midst, and said, Amen I say to you, unless you turn and become like little children, you will not enter into the kingdom of heaven. Whoever, therefore, humbles himself as this little child, he is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven.

And whoever receives one such little child for My sake, receives Me.

Ps 33:12

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

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

Hóstia immaculáta, qua illud Dómini nostri Jesu Christi imménsæ caritátis opus renovámus, sit, Deus Pater omnípotens, sancto Gamíllo intercedénte, contra omnes córporis et animæ infirmitates salutáre remedium, et in extrémo agóne solátium et tutéla.

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

Amen.

Through the prayers of St. Camillus may this spotless sacrificial offering, by which we renew the work of our Lord Jesus Christ’s infinite charity, be a healing remedy against all infirmities of body and soul and a consolation and protection in our last agony.

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.

Matt 25:36, 40

Infírmus fui, et visitástis me. Amen, amen, dico vobis: Quámdiu fecístis uni ex his frátribus meis minimis, mihi fecístis.

I was sick and you visited Me: Amen, amen, I say to you, as long as you did it for one of these the least of My brethren, you did it for Me.

Per hæc cœléstia aliménta, quæ, sancti Camílli Confessóris tui sollémnia celebrántes, pia devotióne suscépimus: da, quǽsumus. Dómine; ut, in hora mortis nostræ sacraméntis refécti et culpis ómnibus expiáti, in sinum misericórdiæ tuæ læti súscipi mereámur:

Qui vivis et regnas cum Deo Patre, in unitáte Spíritus Sancti, Deus, per ómnia sǽcula sæculórum.

Amen.

Through this heavenly food which we have received with holy devotion as we celebrate the feast of St. Camillus, Your Confessor, grant, we beseech You, O Lord, that in the hour of our death, strengthened by Your sacraments and absolved of all our sins, we may be found worthy to be taken up, rejoicing, into the bosom of Your mercy.

Who livest and reignest with God the Father, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, God, world without end.

Amen
