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.
V. O Lord, ✠ open thou my lips.
R. And my mouth shall declare thy praise.
V. O God, ✝ come to my assistance;

Hymnus {ex Commune aut Festo}
Deus tuorum militum
Sors, et corona, praemium,
Laudes canentes Martyris
Absolve nexu criminis.
Hic nempe mundi gaudia,
Et blanda fraudum pabula
Imbuta felle deputans,
Pervenit ad caelestia.
Poenas cucurrit fortiter,
Et sustulit viriliter,
Fundensque pro te sanguinem,
Aeterna dona possidet.
Ob hoc precatu supplici
Te poscimus, piissime;
In hoc triumpho Martyris
Dimitte noxam servulis.
Deo Patri sit gloria,
Et Fílio, qui a mórtuis
Surréxit, ac Paraclito,
In sempiterna sæcula.
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.
Hymns of glory, songs of praise,
Father, unto Thee we raise;
Risen Lord, all praise to Thee,
Ever with the Spirit be
Amen.

38:3 Obmútui, et humiliátus sum, et sílui a bonis: * et dolor meus renovátus est.
38:4 Concáluit cor meum intra me: * et in meditatióne mea exardéscet ignis.
38:5 Locútus sum in lingua mea: * Notum fac mihi, Dómine, finem meum.

Psalm 38 [1]
38:1 I said: I will take heed to my ways: * that I sin not with my tongue.
38:2 I have set guard to my mouth, * when the sinner stood against me.
38:3 I was dumb, and was humbled, and kept silence from good things: * and my sorrow was renewed.
38:4 My heart grew hot within me: * and in my meditation a fire shall flame out.
38:5 I spoke with my tongue: * O Lord, make me know my end.
38:6 And what is the number of my days: * that I may know what is wanting to me.
38:7 Behold thou hast made my days measurable: * and my substance is as nothing before thee.
38:8 And indeed all things are vanity: * every man living.
38:9 Surely man passeth as an image: * yea, and he is disquieted in vain.
38:10 He storeth up: * and he knoweth not for whom he shall gather these things.
38:11 And now what is my hope? Is it not the Lord? * And my substance is with thee.
38:12 Deliver thou me from all my iniquities: * thou hast made me a reproach to the fool.
38:13 I was dumb, and I opened not my mouth, because thou hast done it: * remove thy scourges from me.
38:14 The strength of thy hand hath made me faint in rebukes: * thou hast corrected man for iniquity.
38:15 And thou hast made his soul to waste away like a spider: * surely in vain is any man disquieted.
38:16 Hear my prayer, O Lord, and my supplication: * give ear to my tears.
38:17 Be not silent: for I am a stranger with thee, * and a sojourner as all my fathers were.
38:18 O forgive me, that I may be refreshed, before I go hence, * and be no more.

Psalm 39 [2]
39:1 With expectation I have waited for the Lord, * and he was attentive to me.
39:2 And he heard my prayers, * and brought me out of the pit of misery and the mire of dregs.
39:3 And he set my feet upon a rock, * and directed my steps.
39:4 And he put a new canticle into my mouth, * a song to our God.
39:5 Many shall see, and shall fear: * and they shall hope in the Lord.
39:6 Blessed is the man whose trust is in the name of the Lord; * and who hath not had regard to vanities, and lying follies.
39:7 Thou hast multiplied thy wonderful works, O Lord my God: * and in thy thoughts there is no one like to thee.
39:8 I have declared and I have spoken * they are multiplied above number.
39:9 Sacrifice and oblation thou didst not desire; * but thou hast pierced ears for me.
39:9 Burnt offering and sin offering thou didst not require: * then said I, Behold I come.
39:9 In the head of the book it is written of me that I should do thy will: * O my God, I have desired it, and thy law in the midst of my heart.
39:10 I have declared thy justice in a great church, * lo, I will not restrain my lips: O Lord, thou knowest it.
39:11 I have not hid thy justice within my heart: * I have declared thy truth and thy salvation.
39:12 I have not concealed thy mercy and thy truth * from a great council.
39:13 Withhold not thou, O Lord, thy tender mercies from me: * thy mercy and thy truth have always upheld me.
39:14 For evils without number have surrounded me; * my iniquities have overtaken me, and I was not able to see.
39:14 They are multiplied above the hairs of my head: * and my heart hath forsaken me.
39:14 Be pleased, O Lord to deliver me: * look down, O Lord, to help me.
39:15 Let them be confounded and ashamed together, that seek after my soul * to take it away.
39:16 Let them be turned backward and be ashamed * that desire evils to me.
39:17 Let them immediately bear their confusion, * that say to me: ‘T is well, ‘t is well.
39:18 Let all that seek thee rejoice and be glad in thee: * and let such as love thy salvation say always: The Lord be magnified.
39:18 But I am a beggar and poor: * the Lord is careful for me.
39:18 Thou art my helper and my protector: * O my God, be not slack.
V. Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, * and to the Holy Ghost.

Psalmus 40 [3]

40:2 Dóminus consérvet eum, et vivíficet eum, et beátum fáciat eum in terra: * et non tradat eum in ánimam inimicórum ejus.
40:3 Dóminus opem ferat illi super lectum dolóris ejus: * univérsum stratum ejus versásti in infirmitáte ejus.
40:4 Ego dixi: Dómine, miserére mei: * sana ánimam meam, quia peccávi tibi.
40:5 Inimíci mei dixérunt mala mihi: * Quando moriétur, et períbit nomen ejus?
40:6 Et si ingrediebátur ut vidéret, vana loquebátur: * cor ejus congregávit iniquitátem sibi.
40:7 Egrediebátur foras, * et loquebátur in idípsum.
40:8 Advérsum me susurrábant omnes inimíci mei: * advérsum me cogitábant mala mihi.
40:9 Verbum iníquum constituérunt advérsum me: * Numquid qui dormit non adjíciet ut resúrgat?
40:10 Étenim homo pacis meæ, in quo sperávi: * qui edébat panes meos, magnificávit super me supplantatiónem.
40:11 Tu autem, Dómine, miserére mei, et resúscita me: * et retríbuam eis.
40:12 In hoc cognóvi quóniam voluísti me: * quóniam non gaudébit inimícus meus super me.
40:13 Me autem propter innocéntiam suscepísti: * et confirmásti me in conspéctu tuo in ætérnum.
40:14 Benedíctus Dóminus, Deus Israël, a sæculo et usque in sæculum: * fiat, fiat.

40:3 The Lord help him on his bed of sorrow: * thou hast turned all his couch in his sickness.
40:4 I said: O Lord, be thou merciful to me: * heal my soul, for I have sinned against thee.
40:5 My enemies have spoken evils against me: * when shall he die and his name perish?
40:6 And if he came in to see me, he spoke vain things: * his heart gathered together iniquity to itself.
40:7 He went out * and spoke to the same purpose.
40:8 All my enemies whispered together against me: * they devised evils to me.
40:9 They determined against me an unjust word: * shall he that sleepeth rise again no more?
40:10 For even the man of my peace, in whom I trusted, * who ate my bread, hath greatly supplanted me.
40:11 But thou, O Lord, have mercy on me, and raise me up again: * and I will requite them.
40:12 By this I know, that thou hast had a good will for me: * because my enemy shall not rejoice over me.
40:13 But thou hast upheld me by reason of my innocence: * and hast established me in thy sight for ever.
40:14 Blessed be the Lord the God of Israel from eternity to eternity. * So be it. So be it.
V. Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, * and to the Holy Ghost.
R. As it was in the beginning, is now, * and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.

41:3 My tears have been my bread day and night, * whilst it is said to me daily: Where is thy God?
41:4 These things I remembered, and poured out my soul in me: * for I shall go over into the place of the wonderful tabernacle, even to the house of God:
41:5 With the voice of joy and praise; * the noise of one feasting.
41:6 Why art thou sad, O my soul? * and why dost thou trouble me?
41:6 Hope in God, for I will still give praise to him: * the salvation of my countenance, and my God.
41:7 My soul is troubled within myself: * therefore will I remember thee from the land of Jordan and Hermoniim, from the little hill.
41:8 Deep calleth on deep, * at the noise of thy flood-gates.
41:9 All thy heights and thy billows * have passed over me.
41:10 In the daytime the Lord hath commanded his mercy; * and a canticle to him in the night.
41:11 With me is prayer to the God of my life. * I will say to God: Thou art my support.
41:12 Why hast thou forgotten me? * and why go I mourning, whilst my enemy afflicteth me?
41:12 Whilst my bones are broken, * my enemies who trouble me have reproached me;
41:12 Whilst they say to me day by day: Where is thy God? * Why art thou cast down, O my soul? and why dost thou disquiet me?
41:12 Hope thou in God, for I will still give praise to him: * the salvation of my countenance, and my God.

De Actibus Apostolorum
Acts 20:17-24
17 A Mileto Paulus mittens Ephesum, vocavit majores natu Ecclesiae.
18 Qui cum venissent ad eum, et simul essent, dixit eis: Vos scitis a prima die qua ingressus sum in Asiam, qualiter vobiscum per omne tempus fuerim,
19 Serviens Domino cum omni humilitate, et lacrimis, et tentationibus, quae mihi acciderunt ex insidiis Judaeorum:
20 Quomodo nihil subtraxerim utilium, quominus annuntiarem vobis et docerem vos, publice et per domos,
21 Testificans Judaeis atque Gentilibus in Deum poenitentiam, et fidem in Dominum nostrum Jesum Christum.
22 Et nunc ecce alligatus ego spiritu, vado in Jerusalem: quae in ea ventura sint mihi, ignorans:
23 Nisi quod Spiritus Sanctus per omnes civitates mihi protestatur, dicens: Quoniam vincula et tribulationes Jerosolymis me manent.
24 Sed nihil horum vereor: nec facio animam meam pretiosiorem quam me, dummodo consummem cursum meum, et ministerium verbi quod accepi a Domino Jesu, testificari Evangelium gratiae Dei.
V. Tu autem, Dómine, miserére nobis.
R. Deo grátias.
R. Beatus vir qui metuit Dominum, alleluia:
* In mandatis ejus cupit nimis, alleluia, alleluia, alleluia.
V. Gloria et divitiae in domo ejus, et justitia ejus manet in saeculum saeculi.

Acts 20:17-24
17 And sending from Miletus to Ephesus, he called the ancients of the church.
18 And when they were come to him, and were together, he said to them: You know from the first day that I came into Asia, in what manner I have been with you, for all the time,
19 Serving the Lord with all humility, and with tears, and temptations which befell me by the conspiracies of the Jews;
20 How I have kept back nothing that was profitable to you, but have preached it to you, and taught you publicly, and from house to house,
21 Testifying both to Jews and Gentiles penance towards God, and faith in our Lord Jesus Christ.
22 And now, behold, being bound in the spirit, I go to Jerusalem: not knowing the things which shall befall me there:
23 Save that the Holy Ghost in every city witnesseth to me, saying: That bands and afflictions wait for me at Jerusalem.
24 But I fear none of these things, neither do I count my life more precious than myself, so that I may consummate my course and the ministry of the word which I received from the Lord Jesus, to testify the gospel of the grace of God.

25 And now behold, I know that all you, among whom I have gone preaching the kingdom of God, shall see my face no more.
26 Wherefore I take you to witness this day, that I am clear from the blood of all men;
27 For I have not spared to declare unto you all the counsel of God.
28 Take heed to yourselves, and to the whole flock, wherein the Holy Ghost hath placed you bishops, to rule the church of God, which he hath purchased with his own blood.
29 I know that, after my departure, ravening wolves will enter in among you, not sparing the flock.

35 Omnia ostendi vobis, quoniam sic laborantes, oportet suscipere infirmos ac meminisse verbi Domini Jesu: quoniam ipse dixit: Beatius est magis dare, quam accipere.
36 Et cum haec dixisset, positis genibus suis oravit cum omnibus illis.

32 And now I commend you to God, and to the word of his grace, who is able to build up, and to give an inheritance among all the sanctified.
33 I have not coveted any man's silver, gold, or apparel, as
34 You yourselves know: for such things as were needful for me and them that are with me, these hands have furnished.
35 I have showed you all things, how that so labouring you ought to support the weak, and to remember the word of the Lord Jesus, how he said: It is a more blessed thing to give, rather than to receive.
36 And when he had said these things, kneeling down, he prayed with them all.
37 And there was much weeping among them all; and falling on the neck of Paul, they kissed him,
38 Being grieved most of all for the word which he had said, that they should see his face no more. And they brought him on his way to the ship.

Psalmus 43 [5]
43:1 Deus áuribus nostris audívimus: * patres nostri annuntiavérunt nobis.
43:2 Opus, quod operátus es in diébus eórum, * et in diébus antíquis.
43:3 Manus tua gentes dispérdidit, et plantásti eos: * afflixísti pópulos, et expulísti eos.
43:4 Nec enim in gládio suo possedérunt terram, * et bráchium eórum non salvávit eos:
43:5 Sed déxtera tua, et bráchium tuum, et illuminátio vultus tui: * quóniam complacuísti in eis.
43:6 Tu es ipse Rex meus et Deus meus: * qui mandas salútes Jacob.
43:7 In te inimícos nostros ventilábimus cornu: * et in nómine tuo spernémus insurgéntes in nobis.
43:8 Non enim in arcu meo sperábo: * et gládius meus non salvábit me.
43:9 Salvásti enim nos de affligéntibus nos: * et odiéntes nos confudísti.
43:9 In Deo laudábimur tota die: * et in nómine tuo confitébimur in sæculum.
43:10 Nunc autem repulísti et confudísti nos: * et non egrediéris, Deus, in virtútibus nostris.
43:11 Avertísti nos retrórsum post inimícos nostros: * et qui odérunt nos, diripiébant sibi.
43:12 Dedísti nos tamquam oves escárum: * et in géntibus dispersísti nos.
43:13 Vendidísti pópulum tuum sine prétio: * et non fuit multitúdo in commutatiónibus eórum.
43:14 Posuísti nos oppróbrium vicínis nostris, * subsannatiónem et derísum his, qui sunt in circúitu nostro.
43:15 Posuísti nos in similitúdinem géntibus: * commotiónem cápitis in pópulis.
43:16 Tota die verecúndia mea contra me est, * et confúsio faciéi meæ coopéruit me.
43:17 A voce exprobrántis, et obloquéntis: * a fácie inimíci, et persequéntis.
43:18 Hæc ómnia venérunt super nos, nec oblíti sumus te: * et iníque non égimus in testaménto tuo.
43:19 Et non recéssit retro cor nostrum: * et declinásti sémitas nostras a via tua:
43:20 Quóniam humiliásti nos in loco afflictiónis, * et coopéruit nos umbra mortis.
43:21 Si oblíti sumus nomen Dei nostri, * et si expándimus manus nostras ad deum aliénum:
43:22 Nonne Deus requíret ista? * ipse enim novit abscóndita cordis.
43:23 Quóniam propter te mortificámur tota die: * æstimáti sumus sicut oves occisiónis.
43:24 Exsúrge, quare obdórmis, Dómine? * exsúrge, et ne repéllas in finem.
43:25 Quare fáciem tuam avértis, * oblivísceris inópiæ nostræ, et tribulatiónis nostræ?
43:26 Quóniam humiliáta est in púlvere ánima nostra: * conglutinátus est in terra venter noster.
43:26 Exsúrge, Dómine, ádjuva nos: * et rédime nos propter nomen tuum.

Nocturn II.
Psalm 43 [5]
43:1 We have heard, O God, with our ears: * our fathers have declared to us,
43:2 The work thou hast wrought in their days, * and in the days of old.
43:3 Thy hand destroyed the Gentiles, and thou plantedst them: * thou didst afflict the people and cast them out.
43:4 For they got not the possession of the land by their own sword: * neither did their own arm save them.
43:5 But thy right hand and thy arm, and the light of thy countenance: * because thou wast pleased with them.
43:6 Thou art thyself my king and my God, * who commandest the saving of Jacob.
43:7 Through thee we will push down our enemies with the horn: * and through thy name we will despise them that rise up against us.
43:8 For I will not trust in my bow: * neither shall my sword save me.
43:9 But thou hast saved us from them that afflict us: * and hast put them to shame that hate us.
43:9 In God shall we glory all the day long: * and in thy name we will give praise for ever.
43:10 But now thou hast cast us off, and put us to shame: * and thou, O God, wilt not go out with our armies.
43:11 Thou hast made us turn our back to our enemies: * and they that hated us plundered for themselves.
43:12 Thou hast given us up like sheep to be eaten: * thou hast scattered us among the nations.
43:13 Thou hast sold thy people for no price: * and there was no reckoning in the exchange of them.
43:14 Thou hast made us a reproach to our neighbours, * a scoff and derision to them that are round about us.
43:15 Thou hast made us a byword among the Gentiles: * a shaking of the head among the people.
43:16 All the day long my shame is before me: * and the confusion of my face hath covered me.
43:17 At the voice of him that reproacheth and detracteth me: * at the face of the enemy and persecutor.
43:18 All these things have come upon us, yet we have not forgotten thee: * and we have not done wickedly in thy covenant.
43:19 And our heart hath not turned back: * neither hast thou turned aside our steps from thy way.
43:20 For thou hast humbled us in the place of affliction: * and the shadow of death hath covered us.
43:21 If we have forgotten the name of our God, * and if we have spread forth our hands to a strange god:
43:22 Shall not God search out these things: * for he knoweth the secrets of the heart.
43:23 Because for thy sake we are killed all the day long: * we are counted as sheep for the slaughter.
43:24 Arise, why sleepest thou, O Lord? * arise, and cast us not off to the end.
43:25 Why turnest thou thy face away? * and forgettest our want and our trouble?
43:26 For our soul is humbled down to the dust: * our belly cleaveth to the earth.
43:26 Arise, O Lord, help us * and redeem us for thy name’s sake.
V. Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, * and to the Holy Ghost.
R. As it was in the beginning, is now, * and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.

44:9 Thou hast loved justice, and hated iniquity: * therefore God, thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows.
44:10 Myrrh and stacte and cassia perfume thy garments, from the ivory houses: * out of which the daughters of kings have delighted thee in thy glory.
44:10 The queen stood on thy right hand, in gilded clothing; * surrounded with variety.
44:11 Hearken, O daughter, and see, and incline thy ear: * and forget thy people and thy father's house.
44:12 And the king shall greatly desire thy beauty; * for he is the Lord thy God, and him they shall adore.

Fidelis in oppido Sueviae Sigmaringa ex honesta Reyorum familia natus, ab ineunte aetate singularibus naturae et gratiae donis ornatus praefulsit. Egregiam quippe sortitus indolem, morumque optima imbutus disciplina, dum Friburgi philosophiae et juris utriusque lauream emeruit, in schola etiam Christi ad perfectionis apicem sedulo virtutum exercitio contendere coepit. Nobilium exinde virorum varias Europae provincias lustrantium comes ascitus, eos ad christianam pietatem sectandam, tam verbis quam operibus excitare non destitit. Quinimmo in eodem itinere crebris austeritatibus desideria carnis mortificare, ac ita seipsum regere studuit, ut in tanta rerum vicissitudine nullo umquam visus fuerit irae motu perturbari. Juris praeterea, et justitiae strenuus propugnator, post reditum in Germaniam celebre sibi nomen acquisivit in advocati munere, in quo tamen cum fori pericula esset expertus, tutiorem aeternae salutis viam ingredi deliberavit, et superna vocatione illustratus, paulo post ordini Seraphico inter fratres Minores Capuccinos adscribi petiit.

Faithful was born of the respectable family of Rey in the town of Sigmaringen in Swabia, in the year of our Lord 1577. From his childhood he was adorned with many bright gifts of nature and grace. Intellectually distinguished, and assisted by all the advantages of education, he took at Fribourg the degrees of Philosophy and of Civil and Canon Law, and it was while engaged in these studies, that he began to strive after the height of perfection in the school of Christ, to which end he earnestly trained himself in all the exercises of godliness. He ceased not to exhort to Christian godliness, both by his words and works, the noblemen who made him their companion, and who were drawn from the chief families of divers parts of Europe. While on his travels, he was careful to mortify the lusts of the flesh by frequent austerities, and so to get the command of himself, that he was never seen under any circumstances to be moved to anger. He was a zealous champion of law and justice, and when he returned into Germany, he won a most distinguished name in his profession as an advocate. After a while, however, in view of the dangers which beset him at the Bar, he determined to enter on a path safer as regarded his eternal salvation, and, in obedience to an inward call from above, he sought admission into the Seraphic Order, among the Capuchin Friars Minor, in the year 1612.

Arctissimae paupertatis zelator egregius, quidquid vel minus necessarium videretur, e coenobio penitus eliminavit. Inter austera jejunia, vigilias, et flagella salutari seipsum prosequens odio, in alios amorem, quasi mater in filios, ostendit. Cum pestifera febris Austriacas militares copias dire affligeret, ipse in extremis infirmorum indigentiis ad assidua caritatis officia toto spiritu incubuit. In componendis etiam animorum dissidiis, aliisque proximi necessitatibus sublevandis consilio et opere adeo praeclare se gessit, ut pater patriae meruerit appellari.
V. Tu autem, Dómine, miserére nobis.
R. Deo grátias.

Reading 5
After he had obtained his holy wish, he showed himself even in his noviceship a singular despiser of the world and of himself, and still more so when with great spiritual joy he had made his solemn profession to the Lord. By his observance of the Rule, he became the wonder and the example of all. He gave himself chiefly to prayer and sacred learning, but he excelled, by a remarkable grace, in the ministry of the Word, and thereby not only stirred up the Catholics to bring forth more fruit, but also drew misbelievers to the knowledge of the truth. He was set at the head of communities of Friars in divers places, and discharged the duty so laid upon him with great praise for prudence, justice, meekness, wisdom, and lowliness. He was animated by a vehement love of the strictest poverty, and cleansed the convent of whatever was not altogether needful. While he pursued himself with an healthy hatred, and most stern fastings, watchings, and scourgings, he showed to all others a love like the love of a mother for her sons. When a contagious fever made horrid ravages among the Austrian soldiers, he gave himself up with his whole soul to unwearied offices of tenderness toward the helpless sick. In allaying quarrels and relieving the temporal distress of his neighbour, he bore himself with such wisdom and zeal as to earn the name of Father of his country.
V. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.

Deiparae Virginis et rosarii cultor eximius, illius praecipue, aliorumque Sanctorum patrocinio a Deo postulavit, ut in catholicae fidei obsequium vitam sibi et sanguinem fundere liceret. Cumque ardens hoc desiderium in quotidiana Sacri devota celebratione magis accenderetur, mira Dei providentia factum est, ut fortis Christi athleta praeses eligeretur illarum missionum, quas Congregatio de Propaganda Fide pro Rhaetia tunc temporis instituerat. Quod arduum munus prompto hilarique animo suscipiens, tanto fervore exsecutus est, ut pluribus haereticis ad orthodoxam fidem conversis, spes non modica effulserit totius illius gentis Ecclesiae, et Christo reconciliandae. Prophetiae dono praeditus, futuras Rhaetiae calamitates, suique necem ab haereticis inferendam saepius praedixit. Postquam vero insidiarum probe conscius impendenti agoni se praeparasset, die vigesima quarta Aprilis anno millesimo sexcentesimo vigesimo secundo ad ecclesiam loci, Sevisium nuncupati, se contulit, ubi ab haereticis, qui pridie conversionem simulantes, eum dolose ad praedicandum invitaverant, concione tumultuarie interrupta, per verbera ac vulnera eidem crudeliter inflicta gloriosam mortem magno et alacri corde perpessus, primitias Martyrum memoratae Congregationis proprio sanguine consecravit; pluribus signis et miraculis exinde clarus, praesertim Curiae et Feldkirchii, ubi summa populi veneratione illius reliquiae asservantur.

Tenderly and warmly loved the maiden Mother of God and her Rosary, and he besought God under the patronage of many of His holy servants, but especially under that of the same blessed Mother, to vouchsafe to let him offer his life and his blood together for the sake of the Catholic faith. This burning desire came upon him more and more, day by day, as he celebrated with great ardour of spirit the Holy Liturgy and by the unexpected Providence of God it came to pass that this brave He was a travelling tutor. soldier of Christ was chosen President of the Missions which the Congregation for the Propagation of the Faith had at that time just founded for the Grisons. He accepted this hard task with a willing and joyful heart, and discharged it with such zeal, that many heretics were turned to the orthodox faith, and great hope was engendered that the whole of that people would return to the peace of Christ and His Church. Faithful, who was gifted with the spirit of Prophecy, often foretold the great woes which afterwards came upon the Grisons, and that he himself would be murdered by the heretics. At last, on a certain 23rd of April, some of the heretics, who pretended to be converted, entreated him to come and preach the following day at the Church of a place which is called Sevis. He complied with the treacherous invitation, but, as he knew that plots were being laid against him, he had made himself ready beforehand for the last conflict. On the 24th day of April, in the year 1622, he went to Sevis, and began to preach, but his discourse was interrupted by a riot, and on his way back, he was [met by a party of Calvinists, and) brutally murdered. By this glorious death, which he suffered with a willing and cheerful heart, he offered to God in his own blood the first-fruits of martyrdom from the above - mentioned Congregation. God hath since glorified him by many signs and wonders, especially at Coire and Feldkirchen, where his reliques are kept with much popular veneration.
V. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.
R. Thanks be to God.

47:5 So they saw, and they wondered, they were troubled, they were moved: * trembling took hold of them.
47:6 There were pains as of a woman in labour; * with a vehement wind thou shalt break in pieces the ships of Tharsis.

48:3 My mouth shall speak wisdom: * and the meditation of my heart understanding
48:4 I will incline my ear to a parable; * I will open my proposition on the psaltery.
48:5 Why shall I fear in the evil day? * the iniquity of my heel shall encompass me.
48:6 They that trust in their own strength, * and glory in the multitude of their riches,
48:7 No brother can redeem, nor shall man redeem: * he shall not give to God his ransom,
48:8 Nor the price of the redemption of his soul: * and shall labour for ever, and shall still live unto the end.
48:9 He shall not see destruction, when he shall see the wise dying: * the senseless and the fool shall perish together:
48:10 And they shall leave their riches to strangers: * and their sepulchres shall be their houses for ever.
48:11 Their dwelling places to all generations: * they have called their lands by their names.
48:12 And man when he was in honour did not understand; * he is compared to senseless beasts, and is become like to them.
48:14 This way of theirs is a stumbling block to them: * and afterwards they shall delight in their mouth.
48:15 They are laid in hell like sheep: * death shall feed upon them.
48:16 And the just shall have dominion over them in the morning; * and their help shall decay in hell from their glory.
48:17 But God will redeem my soul from the hand of hell, * when he shall receive me.
48:18 Be not thou afraid, when a man shall be made rich, * and when the glory of his house shall be increased.
48:19 For when he shall die he shall take nothing away; * nor shall his glory descend with him.
48:20 For in his lifetime his soul will be blessed: * and he will praise thee when thou shalt do well to him.

From the Holy Gospel according to John
John 15:1-7
At that time Jesus said unto His disciples I am the true vine, and My Father is the husbandman. And so on.
Homily by St Austin, Bishop of Hippo.
Tract 80, on John.
Dearly beloved brethren, this passage of the Gospel, wherein the Lord saith that He is the vine, and that His disciples are the branches, is to be taken in that sense wherein it is also said, that He is the Head of the Church, and that we are the members of Him Who is the Mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus. The vine and his branches are of one and the same nature. Therefore, seeing that He was God, of which nature we are not, He was made man, to the end that He might have in Himself this vine, that is, the manhood, whereof we men can be made branches.
V. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.
R. Thanks be to God.
R. I am the true vine, ye are the branches.
* He that abideth in Me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit. Alleluia, Alleluia.

Quid ergo est, Ego sum vitis vera? Numquid ut adderet, vera, hoc ad eam vitem retulit, unde ista similitudo translata est? Sic enim dicitur vitis per similitudinem, non per proprietatem: quemadmodum dicitur ovis, agnus, leo, petra, lapis angularis, et cetera hujusmodi, quae magis ipsa sunt vera, ex quibus ducuntur istae similitudines, non proprietates. Sed cum dicit, Ego sum vitis vera: ab illa se utique discernit, cui dicitur: Quomodo conversa es in amaritudinem vitis aliena? Nam quo pacto est vitis vera, quae exspectata est ut faceret uvam, fecit autem spinas?

Saith He "I am the true vine"? As touching this word "true," hath He not here regard to that other parable of a vine, the like figure whereto He doth here apply to Himself? Here is He called a vine, not plainly, but in parable, as also He is called elsewhere a sheep, a lamb, a lion, a rock, a corner-stone, and other things of the like kind. But these things are in themselves that which they seem to be, albeit He is called by their names, not plainly, but in a parable, and herein are they different from that vine, whereof in this place He taketh on Him the name. For when He saith "I am the true vine," doth He not make distinction between Himself, and that which indeed seemed to be a vine, but to which it is said "How art thou turned into the degenerate plant of a strange vine unto Me?" For by what title shall that plant be called other than a false vine, whereto they looked that she should bring forth grapes, and she brought forth thorns.
V. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.
R. Thanks be to God.
R. Her Nazarites are become pure, alleluia; they reflect the glory of God, alleluia;
* They are whiter than milk, alleluia, alleluia.
V. They are purer than snow, they are whiter than milk, they are more ruddy in body than coral, their polishing is of sapphire.
R. They are whiter than milk, alleluia, alleluia.
V. Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, * and to the Holy Ghost.
R. They are whiter than milk, alleluia, alleluia.

Lectio 9
Ego sum, inquit, vitis vera: et Pater meus agricola est. Numquid unum sunt agricola et vitis? Secundum hoc ergo vitis Christus, secundum quod ait: Pater major me est. Secundum autem id, quod ait: Ego, et Pater unum sumus; et ipse agricola est: nec talis, quales sunt, qui extrinsecus operando exhibent ministerium: sed talis, ut det etiam intrinsecus incrementum. Nam neque qui plantat est aliquid, neque qui rigat: sed, qui incrementum dat, Deus. Sed utique Deus est Christus, quia Deus erat Verbum: unde ipse, et Pater unum sunt. Et, si Verbum caro factum est, quod non erat, manet quod erat.
V. Tu autem, Dómine, miserére nobis.
R. Deo grátias.

Reading 9
Jesus saith "I am the true vine, and My Father is the husbandman." Is the vine one with the husbandman These words then are to be taken in that sense wherein He also saith "My Father is greater than I." But again, in regard to those words "I and the Father are one," and again "and My Father is the husbandman," we understand that They are not the vine and the husbandman, after the manner of a vine, and the husbandman that from without doth care for and keep it, but after the manner of a vine and Him That from within doth make it to bring forth fruit. For "neither is he that planteth anything, neither he that watereth but God that giveth the increase." But Christ is God, for "the Word was God." Therefore He and the Father are one and, albeit "the Word was made flesh," which, before, He was not, He ceased not to be still That Which He was.
V. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.
R. 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.
