Credo in Spíritum Sanctum, sanctam Ecclésiam cathólicam, Sanctórum communiónem, remissiónem peccatórum, carnis resurrectiónem, vitam ætérnam. Amen.

Start
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.
℣. O Lord, +︎ open thou my lips.
℟. And my mouth shall declare thy praise.
℣. O God, come to my assistance;

Ant. The Lord, the King of Martyrs, * O come, let us worship.
Ant. The Lord, the King of Martyrs, * O come, let us worship.
Come let us praise the Lord with joy: let us joyfully sing to God our saviour. Let us come before his presence with thanksgiving; and make a joyful noise to him with psalms.
Ant. The Lord, the King of Martyrs, * O come, let us worship.
For the Lord is a great God, and a great King above all gods. For the Lord will not cast off his people: for in his hand are all the ends of the earth, and the heights of the mountains are his.
Ant. O come, let us worship.
For the sea is his, and he made it: and his hands formed the dry land. (genuflect) Come let us adore and fall down: and weep before the Lord that made us: For he is the Lord our God: and we are the people of his pasture and the sheep of his hand.
Ant. The Lord, the King of Martyrs, * O come, let us worship.
Today if you shall hear his voice, harden not your hearts: As in the provocation, according to the day of temptation in the wilderness: where your fathers tempted me, they proved me, and saw my works.
Ant. O come, let us worship.
Forty years long was I offended with that generation, and I said: These always err in heart. And these men have not known my ways: so I swore in my wrath that they shall not enter into my rest.

Hymnus {ex Commune aut Festo}
Deus tuórum mílitum
Sors, et córona, prǽmium,
Laudes canéntes Mártyris
Absólve nexu críminis.

Hic nempe mundi gáudia,
Et blanda fraudum pábula
Imbúta felle députans,
Pervénit ad cæléstia.

Pœnas cucúrrit fórtiter,
Et sústulit viríliter,
Fundénsque pro te sánguinem,
Ætérna dona póssidet.

Ob hoc precátu súpplici
Te póscimus, piíssime;
In hoc triúmpho Mártyris
Dimítte noxam sérvulis.

Laus et perénnis glória
Patri sit, atque Fílio,
Sancto simul Paráclito,
In sempitérna sǽcula.
Amen.
Hymn {from the Common or Feast}
O God, of those that fought thy fight,
Portion, and prize, and crown of light,
Break every bond of sin and shame
As now we praise thy martyr's name.

He recked not of the world's allure,
But sin and pomp of sin forswore:
Knew all their gall, and passed them by,
And reached the throne prepared on high.

Bravely the course of pain he ran,
And bare his torments as a man:
For love of thee his blood outpoured,
And thus obtained the great reward.

With humble voice and suppliant word
We pray thee therefore, holy Lord,
While we thy martyr's feast-day keep,
Forgive thy loved and erring sheep.

Glory and praise for aye be done
To God the Father, and the Son,
And Holy Ghost, who reign on high,
One God, to all eternity.
Amen.

11 Let no man therefore despise him, but conduct ye him on his way in peace: that he may come to me. For I look for him with the brethren.
12 And touching our brother Apollo, I give you to understand, that I much entreated him to come unto you with the brethren: and indeed it was not his will at all to come at this time. But he will come when he shall have leisure.

105:6 Peccávimus cum pátribus nostris: * injúste égimus, iniquitátem fécimus.
105:7 Patres nostri in Ægýpto non intellexérunt mirabília tua: * non fuérunt mémores multitúdinis misericórdiæ tuæ.
105:7 Et irritavérunt ascendéntes in mare, * Mare Rubrum.
105:8 Et salvávit eos propter nomen suum: * ut notam fáceret poténtiam suam.
105:9 Et incrépuit Mare Rubrum, et exsiccátum est, * et dedúxit eos in abýssis sicut in desérto.
105:10 Et salvávit eos de manu odiéntium: * et redémit eos de manu inimíci.
105:11 Et opéruit aqua tribulántes eos: * unus ex eis non remánsit.
105:12 Et credidérunt verbis ejus: * et laudavérunt laudem ejus.
105:13 Cito fecérunt, oblíti sunt óperum ejus: * et non sustinuérunt consílium ejus.
105:14 Et concupiérunt concupiscéntiam in desérto: * et tentavérunt Deum in inaquóso.
105:15 Et dedit eis petitiónem ipsórum: * et misit saturitátem in ánimas eórum.

Nocturn II.
Ant. The Lord saved them.
Psalm 105(1-15) [4]
105:1 Give glory to the Lord, for he is good: * for his mercy endureth for ever.
105:2 Who shall declare the powers of the Lord? * who shall set forth all his praises?
105:3 Blessed are they that keep judgment, * and do justice at all times.
105:4 Remember us, O Lord, in the favour of thy people: * visit us with thy salvation.
105:5 That we may see the good of thy chosen, that we may rejoice in the joy of thy nation: * that thou mayst be praised with thy inheritance.
105:6 We have sinned with our fathers: * we have acted unjustly, we have wrought iniquity.
105:7 Our fathers understood not thy wonders in Egypt: * they remembered not the multitude of thy mercies:
105:7 And they provoked to wrath going up to the sea, * even the Red Sea.
105:8 And he saved them for his own name’s sake: * that he might make his power known.
105:9 And he rebuked the Red Sea, and it was dried up: * and he led them through the depths, as in a wilderness.
105:10 And he saved them from the hand of them that hated them: * and he redeemed them from the hand of the enemy.
105:11 And the water covered them that afflicted them: * there was not one of them left.
105:12 And they believed his words: * and they sang his praises.
105:13 They had quickly done, they forgot his works: * and they waited not for his counsels.
105:14 And they coveted their desire in the desert: * and they tempted God in the place without water.
105:15 And he gave them their request: * and sent fulness into their souls.
℣. 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.
Ant. The Lord saved them for his own name's sake.
Ant. Oblíti sunt Deum.

105:16 Et irritavérunt Móysen in castris: * Aaron, sanctum Dómini.
105:17 Apérta est terra, et deglutívit Dathan: * et opéruit super congregatiónem Abíron.
105:18 Et exársit ignis in synagóga eórum * flamma combússit peccatóres.
105:19 Et fecérunt vítulum in Horeb * et adoravérunt scúlptile.
105:20 Et mutavérunt glóriam suam * in similitúdinem vítuli comedéntis fænum.
105:21 Oblíti sunt Deum, qui salvávit eos, * qui fecit magnália in Ægýpto, mirabília in terra Cham: terribília in Mari Rubro.
105:23 Et dixit ut dispérderet eos: * si non Móyses, eléctus ejus, stetísset in confractióne in conspéctu ejus:
105:24 Ut avérteret iram ejus ne dispérderet eos: * et pro níhilo habuérunt terram desiderábilem:
105:25 Non credidérunt verbo ejus, et murmuravérunt in tabernáculis suis: * non exaudiérunt vocem Dómini.
105:26 Et elevávit manum suam super eos: * ut prostérneret eos in desérto:
105:27 Et ut deíceret semen eórum in natiónibus: * et dispérgeret eos in regiónibus.
105:28 Et initiáti sunt Beélphegor: * et comedérunt sacrifícia mortuórum.
105:29 Et irritavérunt eum in adinventiónibus suis: * et multiplicáta est in eis ruína.
105:30 Et stetit Phínees, et placávit: * et cessávit quassátio.

Ant. They forgot God.
Psalm 105(16-31) [5]
105:16 And they provoked Moses in the camp, * Aaron the holy one of the Lord.
105:17 The earth opened and swallowed up Dathan: * and covered the congregation of Abiron.
105:18 And a fire was kindled in their congregation: * the flame burned the wicked.
105:19 They made also a calf in Horeb: * and they adored the graven thing.
105:20 And they changed their glory * into the likeness of a calf that eateth grass.
105:21 They forgot God, who saved them, * who had done great things in Egypt, wondrous works in the land of Cham: terrible things in the Red Sea.
105:23 And he said that he would destroy them: * had not Moses his chosen stood before him in the breach:
105:24 To turn away his wrath, lest he should destroy them; * and they set at nought the desirable land.
105:25 They believed not his word, and they murmured in their tents: * they hearkened not to the voice of the Lord.
105:26 And he lifted up his hand over them: * to overthrow them in the desert;
105:27 And to cast down their seed among the nations, * and to scatter them in the countries.
105:28 They also were initiated to Beelphegor: * and ate the sacrifices of the dead.
105:29 And they provoked him with their inventions: * and destruction was multiplied among them.
105:30 Then Phinees stood up, and pacified him: * and the slaughter ceased.
105:31 And it was reputed to him unto justice, * to generation and generation for evermore.
℣. 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.

Ant. Cum tribularéntur.
Psalmus 105(32-48) [6]
105:32 Et irritavérunt eum ad aquas contradictiónis: * et vexátus est Móyses propter eos: quia exacerbavérunt spíritum ejus.
105:33 Et distínxit in lábiis suis: * non disperdidérunt gentes, quas dixit Dóminus illis.
105:35 Et commísti sunt inter gentes, et didicérunt ópera eórum: et serviérunt sculptílibus eórum: * et factum est illis in scándalum.
105:37 Et immolavérunt fílios suos, * et fílias suas dæmóniis.
105:38 Et effudérunt sánguinem innocéntem: * sánguinem filiórum suórum et filiárum suárum, quas sacrificavérunt sculptílibus Chánaan.
105:39 Et infécta est terra in sanguínibus, et contamináta est in opéribus eórum: * et fornicáti sunt in adinventiónibus suis.
105:40 Et irátus est furóre Dóminus in pópulum suum: * et abominátus est hereditátem suam.
105:41 Et trádidit eos in manus géntium: * et domináti sunt eórum qui odérunt eos.
105:42 Et tribulavérunt eos inimíci eórum, et humiliáti sunt sub mánibus eórum: * sæpe liberávit eos.
105:43 Ipsi autem exacerbavérunt eum in consílio suo: * et humiliáti sunt in iniquitátibus suis.
105:44 Et vidit, cum tribularéntur: * et audívit oratiónem eórum.
105:45 Et memor fuit testaménti sui: * et pœnítuit eum secúndum multitúdinem misericórdiæ suæ.
105:46 Et dedit eos in misericórdias * in conspéctu ómnium qui céperant eos.
105:47 Salvos nos fac, Dómine, Deus noster: * et cóngrega nos de natiónibus:
105:47 Ut confiteámur nómini sancto tuo: * et gloriémur in laude tua.

Ant. And he saw when they were in tribulation.
Psalm 105(32-48) [6]
105:32 They provoked him also at the waters of contradiction: * and Moses was afflicted for their sakes: because they exasperated his spirit.
105:33 And he distinguished with his lips; * they did not destroy the nations of which the Lord spoke unto them.
105:35 And they were mingled among the heathens, and learned their works: and served their idols, * and it became a stumblingblock to them.
105:37 And they sacrificed their sons, * and their daughters to devils.
105:38 And they shed innocent blood: * the blood of their sons and of their daughters which they sacrificed to the idols of Chanaan.
105:39 And the land was polluted with blood, and was defiled with their works: * and they went aside after their own inventions.
105:40 And the Lord was exceedingly angry with his people: * and he abhorred his inheritance.
105:41 And he delivered them into the hands of the nations: * and they that hated them had dominion over them.
105:42 And their enemies afflicted them: and they were humbled under their hands: * many times did he deliver them.
105:43 But they provoked him with their counsel: * and they were brought low by their iniquities.
105:44 And he saw when they were in tribulation: * and he heard their prayer.
105:45 And he was mindful of his covenant: * and repented according to the multitude of his mercies.
105:46 And he gave them unto mercies, * in the sight of all those that had made them captives.
105:47 Save us, O Lord, our God: * and gather us from among nations:
105:47 That we may give thanks to thy holy name, * and may glory in thy praise.
105:48 Blessed be the Lord the God of Israel, from everlasting to everlasting: * and let all the people say: So be it, so be it.

Marcellus Romanus, a Constantio et Galerio usque ad Maxéntium pontificátum gessit. Cujus hortatu Lucina matrona Romana, bonórum suórum Dei Ecclésiam fecit heredem. Aucto in Urbe fidelium numero, ad eórum utilitátem, ad baptismum pœnitentiámque dandam eis, qui christianam religiónem suscíperent, et ad Mártyrum sepultúram, novos Titulos instituit, et quasi álteras diœcéses distríbuit.

Reading 4
This Marcellus was a Roman, and held the supreme Pontificate from (the year of our Lord 304, in) the reign of Constantius and Galerius, till 310, in that of Maxentius. It was through his persuasion that the Roman lady Lucina left the whole of her property to the Church of God. As the believers increased, he instituted new titles in the City, which he divided after the manner of dioceses for their convenience, and for the baptism and penance of heathens converted to Christianity, and for the burial of the martyrs. These proceedings excited the wrath of Maxentius, who threatened Marcellus with the heaviest punishment, unless he would lay down the Popedom and sacrifice to idols.
℣. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.
℟. Thanks be to God.

℟. The Lord made him honourable, and defended him from his enemies, and kept him safe from those that lay in wait for him,
* And gave him perpetual glory.
℣. He went down with him into the pit, and left him not in bonds.
℟. And gave him perpetual glory.

Qui cum insanas hóminis voces neglígeret, misit eum in catábulum, ut bestiárum, quæ publice alebántur, curam sustinéret: ubi Marcéllus assiduis jejuniis et precibus novem menses vitam duxit, parochias, quas præsens non póterat, visitans per epistolas. Inde ereptus a clericis, hospítio recípitur a beáta Lucina, in cujus ædibus ecclésiam dedicávit, quæ hódie titulo sancti Marcelli nominátur: in qua et Christiáni orábant, et ipse beátus Marcellus prædicabat.
℣. Tu autem, Dómine, miserére nobis.
℟. Deo grátias.

℟. Desidérium ánimæ ejus tribuísti ei Dómine,
* Et voluntáte labiórum ejus non fraudásti eum.

℟. Et voluntáte labiórum ejus non fraudásti eum.
℣. Grant, Lord, a blessing.
Benediction. May Christ to all His people give, for ever in His sight to live. Amen.

Reading 5
The servant of God treated with contempt the mad cries of this man, who accordingly took him and sent him to a menagerie, to take care of the beasts which were fed at the public cost. Marcellus remained at this place for nine months, which he spent in continual fasting and prayer, and, as he could not visit the parishes in person, he wrote letters to them. Some clerks rescued him, and the blessed Lucina hospitably received him into her house, in which he dedicated a Church, which is now called St. Marcellus'. Here the Christians met to pray, and the blessed Marcellus himself preached.
℣. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.
℟. Thanks be to God.

℟. Lord, Thou hast given him his heart's desire.
* And hast not withholden the request of his lips.
℣. For Thou hast prevented him with the blessings of sweetness: Thou hast set a crown of precious stones upon his head.
℟. And hast not withholden the request of his lips.

Quibus cógnitis, Maxéntius in eam ecclésiam catábuli bestias transférri, et a Marcello custodiri jubet: ubi loci fœditate, multisque ærumnis afflíctus obdormívit in Dómino. Cujus corpus in cœmeterio Priscillæ via Salaria a beáta Lucina sepúltum est décimo septimo Kalendas Februarii. Sedit annos quinque, mensem unum, dies viginti quinque. Scripsit epistolam ad episcopos Antiochenæ provinciæ de primatu Romanæ Ecclésiæ, quam caput ecclesiárum appellandam demonstrat; ubi étiam illud scriptum est, nullum concílium jure celebrari, nisi ex auctoritáte Romani Pontificis. Ordinávit mense Decembri Romæ presbyteros viginti quinque, diaconos duos, episcopos per diversa loca viginti unum.
℣. Tu autem, Dómine, miserére nobis.
℟. Deo grátias.

℟. Stola jucunditátis índuit eum Dóminus:

Reading 6
These proceedings came to the knowledge of Maxentius, who thereupon had the wild beasts brought from the menagerie and located in the church, where Marcellus was made to feed them. The noisomeness of the place and the filthiness of his occupation broke down a constitution already enfeebled by many ailments, and he fell asleep in the Lord. The blessed Lucina buried his body in the cemetery of Priscilla, on the Salarian Way, on the 16th of January. He sat on the throne of Peter for five years, one month, and twenty-five days. He wrote an epistle to the Bishops of the Patriarchate of Antioch on the primacy of the Roman Church, wherein he proveth the right of the same Church to be called the head of all the Churches. In this letter he likewise saith that no Council can be lawfully gathered together except by the authority of the Roman Pontiff. He ordained at Rome in the month of December twenty - five Priests, two Deacons, and twenty - one Bishops for diverse Sees.
℣. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.
℟. Thanks be to God.

℟. The Lord hath put on him a robe of honour,
* And put about his head a crown of joy.
℣. With the bread of life and understanding hath the Lord fed him, and given him the water of health and wisdom to drink.
℟. And put about his head a crown of joy.
℣. Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, * and to the Holy Ghost.

106:3 From the rising and the setting of the sun, * from the north and from the sea.
106:4 They wandered in a wilderness, in a place without water: * they found not the way of a city for their habitation.
106:5 They were hungry and thirsty: * their soul fainted in them.
106:6 And they cried to the Lord in their tribulation: * and he delivered them out of their distresses.

106:8 Let the mercies of the Lord give glory to him: * and his wonderful works to the children of men.
106:9 For he hath satisfied the empty soul, * and hath filled the hungry soul with good things.
106:10 Such as sat in darkness and in the shadow of death: * bound in want and in iron.
106:11 Because they had exasperated the words of God: * and provoked the counsel of the most High:
106:12 And their heart was humbled with labours: * they were weakened, and there was none to help them.

106:25 He said the word, and there arose a storm of wind: * and the waves thereof were lifted up.
106:26 They mount up to the heavens, and they go down to the depths: * their soul pined away with evils.
106:27 They were troubled, and reeled like a drunken man; * and all their wisdom was swallowed up.
106:28 And they cried to the Lord in their affliction: * and he brought them out of their distresses.
106:29 And he turned the storm into a breeze: * and its waves were still.

106:32 And let them exalt him in the church of the people: * and praise him in the chair of the ancients.
106:33 He hath turned rivers into a wilderness: * and the sources of water into dry ground:

Léctio sancti Evangélii secúndum Matthǽum
Matt 16:13-19
In illo témpore: Venit Jesus in partes Cæsaréæ Philíppi, et interrogábat discípulos suos, dicens: Quem dicunt hómines esse Fílium hóminis? Et réliqua.

Homilía sancti Leónis Papæ
Sermo 2 in anniversario assumpt. suæ ante medium
Cum, sicut evangélica lectióne reserátum est, interrogásset Dóminus discípulos, quem ipsum (multis divérsa opinántibus) créderent; respondissétque beátus Petrus, dicens: Tu es Christus Fílius Dei vivi; Dóminus ait: Beátus es, Simon Bar-Jona, quia caro et sanguis non revelávit tibi, sed Pater meus, qui in cælis est: et ego dico tibi, quia tu es Petrus, et super hanc petram ædificábo Ecclésiam meam, et portæ ínferi non prævalébunt advérsus eam. Et tibi dabo claves regni cælórum: et quodcúmque ligáveris super terram, erit ligátum et in cælis: et quodcúmque sólveris super terram, erit solútum et in cælis. Manet ergo disposítio veritátis, et beátus Petrus, in accépta fortitúdine petræ persevérans, suscépta Ecclésiæ gubernácula non relíquit.
℣. Tu autem, Dómine, miserére nobis.
℟. Deo grátias.

℟. Coróna áurea super caput ejus,
* Expréssa signo sanctitátis, glória honóris, et opus fortitúdinis.
℣. Quóniam prævenísti eum in benedictiónibus dulcédinis, posuísti in cápite ejus corónam de lápide pretióso.
℟. Expréssa signo sanctitátis, glória honóris, et opus fortitúdinis.
℣. Grant, Lord, a blessing.
Benediction. May the Gospel's holy lection be our safety and protection. Amen.

Reading 7
From the Holy Gospel according to Matthew
Matt 16:13-19
At that time: When Jesus came into the coasts of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, saying, Whom do men say that I the Son of man am? And so on.

A Homily by St. Leo the Pope
Sermo 2 in anniversario assumpt. suæ ante medium
When the Lord, as we read in the Gospel, asked his disciples who did men, amid their diverse speculations, believe him the Son of Man to be, blessed Peter answered and said: Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God. And the Lord answered and said unto him: Blessed art thou, Simon Bar-Jona: for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my Father, which is in heaven: and I say also unto thee: That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my Church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it; and I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven; and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven; and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven. But the dispensation of truth perdures, and blessed Peter, persevering in the strength of the rock which he hath received, hath not relinquished the position he assumed at the helm of the Church.
℣. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.
℟. Thanks be to God.

℟. A crown of gold upon his head,
* Wherein is engraved Holiness, an ornament of honour, a costly work.
℣. For Thou hast prevented him with the blessings of sweetness, Thou hast set a crown of precious stones upon his head.
℟. Wherein is engraved Holiness, an ornament of honour, a costly work.
℣. Jube, domne, benedícere.
Benedictio. Cujus festum cólimus, ipse intercédat pro nobis ad Dóminum. Amen.

Lectio 8
In univérsa namque Ecclésia, Tu es Christus Fílius Dei vivi, quotídie Petrus dicit; et omnis lingua, quæ confitétur Dóminum, magistério hujus vocis imbúitur. Hæc fides diábolum vincit et captivórum ejus víncula dissólvit. Hæc érutos mundo, ínserit cælo, et portæ ínferi advérsus eam prævalére non possunt. Tanta enim divínitus soliditáte muníta est, ut eam neque hærética umquam corrúmpere právitas, nec pagána potúerit superáre perfídia. His ítaque modis, dilectíssimi, rationábile obséquio celebrétur hodiérna festívitas: ut in persóna humilitátis meæ ille intelligátur, ille honorétur, in quo et ómnium pastórum sollicitúdo, cum commendatárum sibi óvium custódia persevérat, et cujus étiam dígnitas in indígno heréde non déficit.
℣. Tu autem, Dómine, miserére nobis.
℟. Deo grátias.

℟. Dómine, prævenísti eum in benedictiónibus dulcédinis:
* Posuísti in cápite ejus corónam de lápide pretióso.
℣. Vitam pétiit a te, et tribuísti ei longitúdinem diérum in sæculum sæculi.
℟. Posuísti in cápite ejus corónam de lápide pretióso.
℣. Glória Patri, et Fílio, * et Spirítui Sancto.
℟. Posuísti in cápite ejus corónam de lápide pretióso.
℣. Grant, Lord, a blessing.
Benediction. He whose feast-day we are keeping, be our Advocate with God. Amen.

Reading 8
In the universal Church it is as if Peter were still saying every day: Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God. For every tongue which confesseth the Lord is taught that confession by the teaching of Peter. This is the Faith that overcometh the devil and looseth the bonds of his prisoners. This is the Faith which maketh men free of the world and bringeth them to heaven, and the gates of hell are impotent to prevail against it. This is the rock which God hath fortified with such ramparts of salvation, that the contagion of heresy will never be able to infect it, nor idolatry and unbelief to overcome it. And therefore, dearly beloved, we celebrate today’s festival with reasonable obedience, that in my humble person he may be acknowledged and honoured who doth continue to care for all the shepherds as well as sheep entrusted unto him, and who doth lose none of his dignity even in an unworthy successor.
℣. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.
℟. Thanks be to God.

℟. O Lord, thou hast prevented him with blessings of sweetness:
* Thou hast set on his head a crown of precious stones.
℣. He asked life of thee: * and thou hast given him length of days for ever and ever.
℟. Thou hast set on his head a crown of precious stones.
℣. Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, * and to the Holy Ghost.
℟. Thou hast set on his head a crown of precious stones.
℣. Jube, domne, benedícere.
Benedictio. Ad societátem cívium supernórum perdúcat nos Rex Angelórum. Amen.

Cum ergo cohortatiónes nostras áuribus vestræ sanctitátis adhibémus, ipsum vobis, cujus vice fúngimur, loqui crédite: quia et illíus vos afféctu monémus, et non áliud vobis, quam quod dócuit, prædicámus; obsecrántes, ut succíncti lumbos mentis vestræ, castam et sóbriam vitam in Dei timóre ducátis. Coróna mea, sicut Apóstolus ait, et gáudium vos estis, si fides vestra, quæ ab inítio Evangélii in univérso mundo prædicáta est, in dilectióne et sanctitáte permánserit. Nam licet omnem Ecclésiam, quæ in toto est orbe terrárum, cunctis opórteat florére virtútibus; vos tamen præcípue inter céteros pópulos decet méritis pietátis excéllere, quos in ipsa apostólicæ petræ arce fundátos, et Dóminus noster Jesus Christus cum ómnibus redémit, et beátus Apóstolus Petrus præ ómnibus erudívit.

Reading 9
When, therefore, we address our exhortations to your godly ears, believe ye that ye are hearing him speak whose office we are discharging. Yea, it is with his love for you that we warn you. And we preach unto you no other thing than that which he taught, entreating you as did he: Gird up the loins of your mind; be sober; be ye holy in all manner of living; pass the time of your sojourning here in the fear of God. My disciples, dearly beloved, ye are to me as the disciples of the Apostle Paul were to him, namely: My crown and joy; if so be that your faith, abide, still in all lowliness and holiness, like unto the first times of the Gospel. For although the whole Church, which is in all the world, should indeed abound in all the virtues, it becometh especially you among all others to excel in acts of piety, founded as ye be on the very citadel of the Apostolic Rock ye who have not only been redeemed with the rest of men by our Lord Jesus Christ, but who have been instructed by the blessed Apostle Peter far beyond all others.
℣. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.
℟. Thanks be to God.

bow head Holy, Holy, Holy * Lord God of Sabaoth;
Heaven and earth are full * of the Majesty of thy glory.

The Father, * of an infinite Majesty.

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.
