Pater noster, qui es in cælis, sanctificétur nomen tuum: advéniat regnum tuum: fiat volúntas tua, sicut in cælo et in terra. Panem nostrum quotidiánum da nobis hódie: et dimítte nobis débita nostra, sicut et nos dimíttimus debitóribus nostris: et ne nos indúcas in tentatiónem: sed líbera nos a malo. Amen.
Ave María, grátia plena; Dóminus tecum: benedícta tu in muliéribus, et benedíctus fructus ventris tui Jesus. Sancta María, Mater Dei, ora pro nobis peccatóribus, nunc et in hora mortis nostræ. Amen.
Credo in Deum, Patrem omnipoténtem, Creatórem cæli et terræ. Et in Jesum Christum, Fílium ejus únicum, Dóminum nostrum: qui concéptus est de Spíritu Sancto, natus ex María Vírgine,
passus sub Póntio Piláto, crucifíxus, mórtuus, et sepúltus: descéndit ad ínferos; tértia die resurréxit a mórtuis; ascéndit ad cælos; sedet ad déxteram Dei Patris omnipoténtis: inde ventúrus est judicáre vivos et mórtuos. Credo in Spíritum Sanctum, sanctam Ecclésiam cathólicam,
Sanctórum communiónem, remissiónem peccatórum, carnis resurrectiónem, vitam ætérnam. Amen.
Deinde, clara voce, dicitur Versus:
℣. Dómine, lábia +︎ mea apéries.
℟. Et os meum annuntiábit laudem tuam.
℣. Deus ✠ in adjutórium meum inténde.
℟. Dómine, ad adjuvándum me festína.
Glória Patri, et Fílio, * et Spirítui Sancto.
Sicut erat in princípio, et nunc, et semper, * et in sǽcula sæculórum. Amen.
Allelúja.

Our Father, who art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation: But deliver us from evil. Amen.
Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee; blessed art thou amongst women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death. Amen.
I believe in God, the Father almighty, Creator of heaven and earth. And in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord; who was conceived by the Holy Ghost, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died and was buried: he descended into hell; the third day he arose again from the dead; he ascended into heaven; sitteth at the right hand of God the Father almighty: from thence he shall come to judge the living and the dead. I believe in the Holy Ghost, the holy catholic Church, the communion of Saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and life everlasting. Amen.
Thereafter, with hearable voice, the Versicle is said:
℣. O Lord, +︎ open thou my lips.
℟. And my mouth shall declare thy praise.
℣. O God, ✠ come to my assistance;
℟. O Lord, make haste to help me.
Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, * and to the Holy Ghost.
As it was in the beginning, is now, * and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.
Alleluia.

Hymn {from the Common or Feast}
Th' eternal gifts of Christ the King,
The Apostles' glory, let us sing;
And all with hearts of gladness raise
Due hymns of thankful love and praise.
For they the Church's princes are,
Triumphant leaders in the war,
The heavenly King's own warrior band,
True lights to lighten every land.
Theirs was the steadfast faith of saints,
The hope that never yields nor faints,
The love of Christ in perfect glow,
That lay the prince of this world low.
In them the Father's glory shone,
In them the Spirit's will was done,
The Son himself exults in them;
Joy fills the new Jerusalem.
Praise to the Father, with the Son,
And Holy Spirit, Three in One;
As ever was in ages past,
And so shall be while ages last.
Amen.

De Actibus Apostolórum
Acts 13:43-47
43 Cum dimíssa esset synagóga, secúti sunt multi Judæórum et coléntium advenárum, Paulum et Bárnabam; qui loquéntes suadébant eis ut permanérent in grátia Dei.
44 Sequénti vero sábbato pene univérsa cívitas convénit audíre verbum Dei.
45 Vidéntes autem turbas Judǽi, repléti sunt zelo, et contradicébant his, quæ a Paulo dicebántur, blasphemántes.
46 Tunc constánter Paulus et Bárnabas dixérunt: Vobis oportébat primum loqui verbum Dei; sed, quóniam repéllitis illud, et indígnos vos judicátis ætérnæ vitæ, ecce convértimur ad gentes;
47 Sic enim præcépit nobis Dóminus: Pósui te in lucem Géntium, ut sis in salútem usque ad extrémum terræ.
℣. Tu autem, Dómine, miserére nobis.
℟. Deo grátias.
℟. Ecce ego mitto vos sicut oves in médio lupórum, dicit Dóminus:
* Estóte ergo prudéntes sicut serpéntes, et símplices sicut colúmbæ.
℣. Dum lucem habétis, crédite in lucem, ut fílii lucis sitis.
℟. Estóte ergo prudéntes sicut serpéntes, et símplices sicut colúmbæ.

℣. Grant, Lord, a blessing.
Benediction. May the Eternal Father bless us with an eternal blessing. Amen.
Reading 1
From the Acts of Apostles.
Acts 13:43-47
43 And when the synagogue was broken up, many of the Jews, and of the strangers who served God, followed Paul and Barnabas: who speaking to them, persuaded them to continue in the grace of God.
44 But the next sabbath day, the whole city almost came together, to hear the word of God.
45 And the Jews seeing the multitudes, were filled with envy, and contradicted those things which were said by Paul, blaspheming.
46 Then Paul and Barnabas said boldly: To you it behoved us first to speak the word of God: but because you reject it, and judge yourselves unworthy of eternal life, behold we turn to the Gentiles.
47 For so the Lord hath commanded us: I have set thee to be the light of the Gentiles; that thou mayest be for salvation unto the utmost part of the earth.
℣. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.
℟. Thanks be to God.
℟. Behold, I send you as sheep in the midst of wolves, said the Lord:
* Be ye, therefore, wise as serpents and simple as doves.
℣. Whilst you have the light, believe in the light, that you may be the children of light.
℟. Be ye therefore wise as serpents and simple as doves.

℣. Jube, domne, benedícere.
Benedictio. Unigénitus Dei Fílius nos benedícere et adjuváre dignétur. Amen.

Act 13:48-52
48 Audiéntes autem gentes, gavísæ sunt, et glorificábant verbum Dómini: et credidérunt quotquot erant præordináti ad vitam ætérnam.
49 Disseminabátur autem verbum Dómini per univérsam regiónem.
50 Judǽi autem concitavérunt mulíeres religiósas et honéstas, et primos civitátis, et excitavérunt persecutiónem in Paulum et Bárnabam: et ejecérunt eos de fínibus suis.
51 At illi, excússo púlvere pedum in eos, venérunt Icónium.
52 Discípuli quoque replebántur gáudio, et Spíritu Sancto.
℣. Tu autem, Dómine, miserére nobis.
℟. Deo grátias.

Joseph, who by the Apostles was surnamed Barnabas, (which is, being interpreted, the Son of Consolation,) a Levite and of the country of Cyprus, having land, sold it, and brought the money, and laid it at the Apostles' feet. (Acts iv. 36, 37.) When Paul, after his conversion, was come to Jerusalem, the disciples were all afraid of him, but Barnabas took him, and brought him to the Apostles, (ix. 26, 27,) When tidings that a great number believed and turned unto the Lord at Antioch came unto the ears of the Church which was at Jerusalem, they sent forth Barnabas that he should go as far as Antioch. Who, when he came, and had seen the grace of God, was glad, and exhorted them all that with purpose of heart they would cleave unto the Lord. For he was a good man, and full of the Holy Ghost, and of faith, and much people was added unto the Lord. xi. 21-24.

Then departed Barnabas to Tarsus for to seek Paul, and, when he had found him, he brought him unto Antioch. And it came to pass that a whole year they assembled themselves with the Church, and taught much people. And the disciples were called Christians first in Antioch. And in these days came prophets from Jerusalem unto Antioch. And there stood up one of them, named Agabus, and signified, by the Spirit, that there should be great dearth throughout all the world which came to pass in the days of Claudius Caesar. Then the disciples, every man according to his ability, determined to send relief unto the brethren which dwelt in Judea, which also they did, and sent it to the elders by the hands of Barnabas and Paul. xi. 25-30. And Barnabas and Paul returned from Jerusalem, when they had fulfilled their ministry, and took with them John, whose surname was Mark. xii. 25.

Now there were in the Church that was at Antioch, certain Prophets and teachers and, as Paul and Barnabas, together with them, ministered to the Lord and fasted, the Holy Ghost said Separate Me Barnabas and Saul for the work whereunto I have called them. And when they had fasted and prayed, and laid their hands on them, they sent them away. So they, being sent forth by the Holy Ghost, departed unto Seleucia and from thence they sailed to Cyprus xiii. 1-4 in the which island, and in many other cities and countries, they journeyed about, preaching the Gospel with great gain to them that heard them. Nevertheless, at last, Paul and Barnabas departed asunder one from the other. And so Barnabas took Mark and sailed unto Cyprus, xv. 39, once more. And there it was that upon a certain nth of June, in or about the seventh year of the reign of Nero, Barnabas crowned the dignity of the Apostolate with the glory of martyrdom. During the reign of the Emperor Zeno, his body was found in its grave in Cyprus on his breast lay a copy of the Gospel according to Matthew, written by the hand of Barnabas himself.

Léctio sancti Evangélii secúndum Matthǽum.
Matt 10:16-22
In illo témpore: Dixit Jesus discípulis suis: Ecce ego mitto vos sicut oves in médio lupórum. Et réliqua.
Homilía sancti Joánnis Chrysóstomi.
Homilia 34 in Matthæum, post initium
Cum Dóminus omnem sollicitúdinem a discipulórum córdibus ejécerit, et ostensióne signórum armáverit, atque, ab ómnibus negótiis sæculáribus alienátos et ab omni temporálium rerum cura liberátos, férreos quodámmodo atque adamántinos fécerit, tum dénique eventúra illis advérsa prædicit. Multa enim ex hac prædicatióne futurárum rerum cómmoda consequebántur. Primum, ut ejus præsciéntiæ vim edíscerent. Deínde, ut nemo suspicarétur, ex Magístri infirmitáte tam grávia mala descéndere. Prætérea, ne, qui ea passúri erant, súbito ac inopináto rerum evéntu perturbaréntur. Dénique, ne, cum ista sub ipsum passiónis suæ tempus audírent, nímium commoveréntur.
℣. Tu autem, Dómine, miserére nobis.
℟. Deo grátias.
℟. Isti sunt qui vivéntes in carne, plantavérunt Ecclésiam sánguine suo:

From the Holy Gospel according to Matthew
Matt 10:6-22
At that time: Jesus said unto His disciples Behold, I send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves. And so on.
Homily by St. John Chrysostom, Patriarch of Constantinople.
34/A on Matthew.
When the Lord had cleared the minds of His disciples of all care, and had armed them by showing forth His mighty works, had estranged them from all business of this world, and freed them from all anxiety touching the things of time, moulding them into a frame of iron-like, nay, diamondlike, hardness, then at length He told them of the contendings against the which they were afterward to wrestle. By this foretelling of things to come they were much holpen. First, they learnt the power of His fore-knowledge. Then, they were guarded against all suspicion that these great sorrows flowed from faultiness in their Master. Again, the future sufferers were made safe from all trouble of being taken unawares. Lastly, seeing that they heard these things at a time nigh to His own suffering, they were not over troubled.
℣. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.
℟. Thanks be to God.
℟. These are they who while yet they lived in the flesh, planted the Church in their own blood;
* They drank of the Lord's cup, and became the friends of God.
℣. Their sound is gone out through all the earth, and their words to the ends of the world.
℟. They drank of the Lord's cup, and became the friends of God.

℣. Jube, domne, benedícere.
Benedictio. Cujus festum cólimus, ipse intercédat pro nobis ad Dóminum. Amen.

Jam vero, ut intélligant novum hoc esse belli genus et insólitum præliándi morem, cum illos nudos mítteret, una indútos túnica, sine cálceis, absque virga et absque zona et pera, et ab excipiéntibus ali jubéret; non fecit hic dicéndi finem, sed inexplicábilem virtútem suam próferens, Etiam sic eúntes, inquit, mansuetúdinem tamen óvium osténdite, quamvis ad lupos itúri, nec simplíciter ad lupos, sed étiam in médio lupórum: (neque vero óvium tantum mansuetúdinem habére jubet, sed étiam colúmbæ simplicitátem); sic enim virtútem meam máxime osténdam, cum ab óvibus lupi superabúntur; et quamvis illæ sint in médio lupórum, et innúmeris móribus laceréntur, non modo non consúmptæ fúerint, verum étiam illos in sui natúram transmutáverint.

And now, that they may understand how that this is a new kind of warfare, and an unaccustomed manner of contending, when He sendeth them forth unarmed, providing neither gold, nor silver, nor brass in their purses nor scrip for their journey, neither two coats, neither shoes, nor yet staves, x. 9, 10, left to the hospitality of whosoever would receive them, He maketh not here an end to His discourse, but, in manifestation of His unspeakable power, He biddeth them, so going, to show forth the meekness of sheep, seeing they were about going unto wolves neither simply unto wolves, but in the very midst of wolves. Neither is it only the meekness of sheep which He biddeth them have, but also the harmlessness of doves, that He might so much the more gloriously display His power, when the sheep overcame the wolves. These are the sheep which albeit they abide in the midst of wolves, and are mangled by many a bite, not only are not destroyed, but do gradually make the wolves change their nature, and become sheep themselves.
℣. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.
℟. Thanks be to God.
℟. These men are saints, whom the Lord hath chosen in love unfeigned, and hath given them glory everlasting. These are they
* By the light of whose teaching the Church is glorified, even as the moon is glorified by the light of the sun.
℣. The saints through faith subdued kingdoms, wrought righteousness.
℟. By the light of whose teaching the Church is glorified, even as the moon is glorified by the light of the sun.

Majus certe atque admirabílius est mentem adversariórum commutáre, et ánimum in divérsum transférre, quam illos occídere; præsértim cum duódecim tantum essent, et lupis plenus esset orbis univérsus. Erubescámus ígitur, qui, longe divérsa faciéntes, tamquam lupi in adversários rúimus. Nam, quámdiu oves fuérimus, víncimur; tunc enim a nobis pastóris auxílium recédit, qui non lupos, sed oves pascit.

Beyond all doubt it is a greater and more marvellous thing to change the minds of enemies, and to turn their thoughts round, than to kill them more especially when the work is to be done by only twelve sheep, and the whole world is full of the wolves. Shame then upon us, whose deeds are so contrary, and who rather run like wolves upon our enemies. For so long as we are sheep we conquer, yea, though a thousand wolves be gathered round about us, we overcome, and are the conquerors but if we become wolves ourselves, then are we conquered. For then doth the Shepherd's help forsake us, Who feedeth not wolves but sheep.
℣. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.
℟. Thanks be to God.
Te Deum
We praise thee, O God, * we acknowledge thee to be the Lord.
All the earth doth worship thee, * the Father everlasting.
To thee all Angels cry aloud, * the Heavens, and all the Powers therein.
To thee Cherubim and Seraphim * continually do cry.
bow head Holy, Holy, Holy * Lord God of Sabaoth;
Heaven and earth are full * of the Majesty of thy glory.
The glorious company of the Apostles * praise thee.
The goodly fellowship of the Prophets * praise thee.
The noble army of Martyrs * praise thee.
The holy Church throughout all the world * doth acknowledge thee;
The Father, * of an infinite Majesty.
Thine honourable, true, * and only Son;
Also the Holy Ghost, * the Comforter.
Thou art the King of Glory, * O Christ.
Thou art the everlasting * Son of the Father.
During the following verse all make a profound bow: When thou tookest upon thee to deliver man, * thou didst not abhor the Virgin's womb.
When thou hadst overcome the sharpness of death, * thou didst open the Kingdom of Heaven to all believers.
Thou sittest at the right hand of God, * in the glory of the Father.
We believe that thou shalt come * to be our Judge.
Kneel for the following verse
We therefore pray thee, help thy servants, * whom thou hast redeemed with thy precious Blood.
Make them to be numbered with thy Saints, * in glory everlasting.
O Lord, save thy people, * and bless thine heritage.
Govern them, * and lift them up for ever.
Day by day * we magnify thee;
During the following verse, by local custom, all make a profound bow. And we worship thy Name * ever, world without end.
Vouchsafe, O Lord, to keep us * this day without sin.
O Lord, have mercy upon us, * have mercy upon us.
O Lord, let thy mercy lighten upon us, * as our trust is in thee.
O Lord, in thee have I trusted, * let me never be confounded.
