Lectio
EpistleLesson from the book of Isaias
Hæc dicit Dóminus: Ecce, ego declinábo super eam quasi flúvium pacis, et quasi torréntem inundántem glóriam géntium, quam sugétis: ad úbera portabímini, et super génua blandiéntur vobis. Quómodo si cui mater blandiátur, ita ego consolábor vos, et in Jerúsalem consolabímini. Vidébitis, et gaudébit cor vestrum, et ossa vestra quasi herba germinábunt, et cognoscétur manus Dómini servis ejus.
Thus says the Lord: Lo, I will spread prosperity over her like a river, and the wealth of the nations like an overflowing torrent. As nurslings, you shall be carried in her arms, and fondled in her lap; as a mother comforts her son, so will I comfort you; in Jerusalem you shall find your comfort. When you see this, your heart shall rejoice, and your bodies flourish like the grass; the Lord’s power shall be known to His servants.
Graduale
GradualConfíteor tibi, Pater, Dómine cœli et terræ, quia abscondísti hæc a sapiéntibus, et prudéntibus, et revelásti ea párvulis.
Ps 70:5
Dómine, spes mea a juventúte mea.
Allelúja, allelúja.
Ps 39:17-19
Quasi rosa plantáta super rivos aquárum fructificate: quasi Libanus odórem suavitátis habete: florete, flores, quasi lílium, et date odórem, et frondete in grátiam, et collaudate cánticum, et benedicite Dóminum in opéribus suis. Allelúja.
I praise You, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that You did hide these things from the wise and prudent, and did reveal them to little ones.
Ps 70:5
V. My trust, O Lord, from my youth. Alleluia, alleluia.
Sir 39:17-19
V. Open up your petals, like roses planted near running waters; send up a sweet odor like Lebanon. Break forth in blossoms like the lily, and yield a smell, and bring forth leaves in grace, and praise with canticles, and bless the Lord in His works. Alleluia.
Evangelium
GospelContinuation + of the Holy Gospel according to Luke
In illo témpore: Intravit Jesus in quoddam castellum: et mulier quaedam, Martha nomine, excepit illum in domum suam et huic erat soror nomine Maria quae etiam sedens secus pedes Domini audiebat verbum illius. Martha autem satagebat circa frequens ministerium quae stetit, et ait: Domine non est tibi curae quod soror mea reliquit me solam ministrare dic ergo illi ut me adiuvet et respondens dixit illi Dominus: “Martha, Martha, sollicita es, et turbaris erga plurima: porro unum est necessarium. Maria optimam partem elegit, quae non auferetur ab ea.”
At that time, Jesus entered a certain village; and a woman named Martha welcome Him to her house. And she had a sister called Mary, who also seated herself at the Lord’s feet, and listened to His word. But Martha was busy about much serving.
And she came up and said, Lord, is it not concern of Yours that my sister has left me to serve alone? Tell her therefore to help me. But the Lord answered and said to her, Martha, Martha, you are anxious and troubled about many things; and yet only one thing is needful.
Mary has chosen the best part, and it will not be taken away from her.
Offertorium
OffertoryMagníficat ánima mea Dóminum: et exsultávit spíritus meus in Deo salutári meo: quia respéxit humilitátem ancíllæ suæ: fecit mihi magna qui potens est.
My soul magnifies the Lord, and my spirit rejoices in God my Saviour; because He has regarded the lowliness of His handmaid. He Who is mighty has done great things for me.
Secreta
SecretSacrifícium nostrum tibi, Dómine, quǽsumus, sanctæ Terésiæ Vírginis tuæ precátio sancta concíliet: ut, in cujus honóre sollémniter exhibétur, ejus méritis efficiátur accéptum.
Per Dóminum nostrum Jesum Christum, Fílium tuum: qui tecum vivit et regnat in unitáte Spíritus Sancti Deus, per ómnia sǽcula sæculórum.
Amen.
We beseech You, O Lord, may the holy prayers of blessed Theresa, Your Virgin, commend our sacrifice to You, so that it may be made acceptable by her merits in whose honor it is solemnly offered.
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.
Communio
CommunionCircumdúxit eam, et dócuit: et custodívit quasi pupíllam óculi sui. Sicut aquila expándit alas suas, et assúmpsit eam, atque portávit in húmeris suis. Dóminus solus dux ejus fuit.
He led her about and taught her, and He guarded her as the apple of His eye. As an eagle He spread His wings to receive her and bore her up on His pinions. The Lord alone was her leader.
Postcommunio

Amen.
May the heavenly sacrament, O Lord, enkindle in us that fire of love which urged blessed Theresa, Your Virgin, to offer herself to You as a victim of charity for mankind.

Amen.
