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.

Hymnus {ex Commune aut Festo}
Iste Confessor Dómini coléntes,
Quem pie laudant pópuli per orbem,
Hac die lætus meruit beatas,
Scandere sedes.
Qui pius, prudens, humilis, pudicus,
Sobriam duxit sine labe vitam,
Donec humanos animávit auræ
Spíritus artus.
Cujus ob præstans meritum, frequenter,
Ægra quæ passim jacuere membra,
Viribus morbi domitis, salúti
Restituúntur.
Noster hinc illi chorus obsequentem
Concinit laudem celebresque palmas,
Ut piis ejus precibus juvemur
Omne per ævum.
Sit salus illi, decus atque virtus,
Qui, super cæli solio coruscans,
Totius mundi seriem gubernat,
Trinus et unus.
Amen.

Hymn {from the Common or Feast}
This the confessor of the Lord, whose triumph
Now all the faithful celebrate, with gladness
Erst on this feast-day merited to enter
Into his glory.
Saintly and prudent, modest in behaviour,
Peaceful and sober, chaste was he, and lowly.
While that life's vigour, coursing through his members,
Quickened his being.
Sick ones of old time, to his tomb resorting,
Sorely by ailments manifold afflicted,
Oft-times have welcomed health and strength returning,
At his petition.
Whence we in chorus gladly do him honour,
Chanting his praises with devout affection,
That in his merits we may have a portion,
Now and forever.
His be the glory, power and salvation,
Who over all things reigneth in the highest,
Earth's mighty fabric ruling and directing,
Onely and Trinal.
Amen.

1 Fidelis sermo: si quis episcopatum desiderat, bonum opus desiderat.
2 Oportet ergo episcopum irreprehensibilem esse, unius uxoris virum, sobrium, prudentem, ornatum, pudicum, hospitalem, doctorem,
3 Non vinolentum, non percussorem, sed modestum: non litigiosum, non cupidum, sed

5 Si quis autem domui suae praeesse nescit, quomodo Ecclesiae Dei diligentiam habebit?
6 Non neophytum: ne in superbiam elatus, in judicium incidat diaboli.

Lesson from the first letter of St Paul the Apostle to Timothy
1 Tim 3:1-7
1 A faithful saying: if a man desire the office of a bishop, he desireth a good work.
2 It behoveth therefore a bishop to be blameless, the husband of one wife, sober, prudent, of good behaviour, chaste, given to hospitality, a teacher,
3 Not given to wine, no striker, but modest, not quarrelsome, not covetous, but
4 One that ruleth well his own house, having his children in subjection with all chastity.
5 But if a man know not how to rule his own house, how shall he take care of the church of God?
6 Not a neophyte: lest being puffed up with pride, he fall into the judgment of the devil.
7 Moreover he must have a good testimony of them who are without: lest he fall into reproach and the snare of the devil.
V. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.
R. Thanks be to God.
R. Well done, thou good and faithful servant, thou hast been faithful over a few things. I will make thee ruler over many things
* Enter thou into the joy of thy Lord. Alleluia
V. Lord, thou deliveredst unto me five talents; behold, I have gained beside them five talents more.
R. Enter thou into the joy of thy Lord. Alleluia

7 Oportet enim episcopum sine crimine esse, sicut Dei dispensatorem: non superbum, non iracundum, non vinolentum, non percussorem, non turpis lucri cupidum:
8 Sed hospitalem, benignum, sobrium, justum, sanctum, continentem,
9 Amplectentem eum, qui secundum doctrinam est, fidelem sermonem: ut potens sit exhortari in doctrina sana, et eos qui contradicunt, arguere.
10 Sunt enim multi etiam inobedientes, vaniloqui, et seductores: maxime qui de circumcisione sunt:
11 Quos oportet redargui: qui universas domos subvertunt, docentes quae non oportet, turpis lucri gratia.

From the letter of St. Paul the Apostle to Titus
Titus 1:7-11
7 For a bishop must be without crime, as the steward of God: not proud, not subject to anger, not given to wine, no striker, not greedy of filthy lucre:
8 But given to hospitality, gentle, sober, just, holy, continent:
9 Embracing that faithful word which is according to doctrine, that he may be able to exhort in sound doctrine, and to convince the gainsayers.
10 For there are also many disobedient, vain talkers, and seducers: especially they who are of the circumcision:
11 Who must be reproved, who subvert whole houses, teaching things which they ought not, for filthy lucre's sake.
V. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.
R. Thanks be to God.
R. Behold an high priest, who in his days pleased God
* Therefore the Lord assured him by an oath that He would multiply his seed among His people. Alleluia

4 That they may teach the young women to be wise, to love their husbands, to love their children,

47:6 There were pains as of a woman in labour; * with a vehement wind thou shalt break in pieces the ships of Tharsis.
47:7 As we have heard, so have we seen, in the city of the Lord of hosts, in the city of our God: * God hath founded it for ever.
47:8 We have received thy mercy, O God, * in the midst of thy temple.
47:9 According to thy name, O God, so also is thy praise unto the ends of the earth: * thy right hand is full of justice.
47:10 Let mount Sion rejoice, and the daughters of Juda be glad; * because of thy judgments, O Lord.
47:11 Surround Sion, and encompass her: * tell ye in her towers.
47:12 Set your hearts on her strength; and distribute her houses, * that ye may relate it in another generation.
47:13 For this is God, our God unto eternity, and for ever and ever: * he shall rule us for evermore.
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.

Ubaldus, Eugubii in Umbria nobili genere natus, a primis annis pietate et litteris egregie est institutus: jamque adolescens, ut uxorem duceret, saepe tentatus, numquam tamen a proposito servandae virginitatis recessit. Sacerdos effectus, patrimonium suum pauperibus et ecclesiis distribuit, et canonicorum regularium ordinis sancti Augustini institutum suscipiens, illud in patriam transtulit, atque in eo aliquamdiu sanctissime vixit. Cujus sanctitatis opinione evulgata, ab Honorio secundo summo Pontifice ecclesiae Eugubinae invitus praeficitur, et episcopalis consecrationis munere decoratur.

Reading 4
Ubald was born of a noble family at Gubbio in Umbria, and well established in godliness and learning from his earliest years. When he was a young man, it was often proposed to him to marry, but he never abandoned his determination to preserve his virginity. After that he was ordained Priest he divided his inheritance among the poor and Churches, and embraced the Institute of Canons Regular of St Austin. This Institute he brought to Gubbio, and for some time led therein a most holy life. When the fame of his saintliness had got noised abroad, Pope Honorius II. set him, contrary to his own wishes, over the Church of Gubbio, and he was honoured with consecration as Bishop by the hands of the said Pope himself, in the year of our Lord 1129.
V. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.
R. Thanks be to God.

Ad suam itaque revertens ecclesiam, cum de consueta vivendi ratione nihil admodum immutasset, in omni tamen virtutum genere eo magis eminere coepit, quo efficacius aliorum etiam salutem verbo et exemplo procuraret, factus forma gregis ex animo. Nam victu parco, vestitu moderato, lectulo aspero et pauperrimo, crucis mortificationem jugiter in suo corpore circumferebat, dum inexplebili orationis studio spiritum quotidie recrearet. Hinc admirabilem illam mansuetudinem est adeptus, qua gravissimas injurias et contumelias non modo aequanimiter tulit, verum etiam mirifico dilectionis affectu persecutores suos omni benignitatis testimonio complectebatur.
V. Tu autem, Dómine, miserére nobis.

Reading 5
When Ubald came to live as Bishop in Gubbio, he changed his way of life in no wise from that which he had led before, but his virtues began to be more eminent because his word and ensample were now more able to benefit his neighbours, to whom the shepherd of their souls was a pattern, not by outward showing only, but from his heart. He ate little, dressed simply, and slept upon a hard and very poor bed. He "always bore in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus," (2 Cor. iv. 10,) while he daily fed his soul in unceasing and earnest prayer. Hence he acquired such wonderful meekness, that when he was most grievously wronged and insulted he not only took it patiently, but, by a strange impulse of love for them, embraced his persecutors with every proof of affection.
V. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.
R. Thanks be to God.
R. I have laid help upon one that is mighty, and have exalted one chosen out of My people

Biennio antequam ex hac vita migraret, cum diutinis afflictaretur infirmitatibus, inter acerbissimos corporis cruciatus, velut aurum in fornace purgatum, Deo gratias indesinenter agebat. Adveniente autem sacro Pentecostes die, cum multis annis ecclesiam sibi commissam summa cum laude gubernasset, sanctis operibus ac miraculis clarus quievit in pace. Quem Caelestinus Papa tertius in Sanctorum numerum retulit. Ejus virtus praecipue in effugandis spiritibus immundis elucet. Corpus vero per tot saecula incorruptum magna fidelium veneratione in patria colitur, quam non semel a praesenti discrimine liberavit.

Reading 6
Just the space of two years before Ubald passed away from this present life, he was tried as gold in the furnace, by grievous bodily weakness, and, day after day, amid the sharpest sufferings, he never ceased patiently to give God thanks. He rested in peace on the sacred day of Pentecost, in the year 1160, having for many years governed with great praise the Church which had been entrusted to him, and glorious for good works and miracles. Pope Celestine III. numbered him with the Saints. His strength is most chiefly shown in the casting out of evil spirits. His body hath remained without corruption for all these ages, and is reverenced greatly in his native town by Christ's faithful people. To them he hath more than once shown himself good at need.
V. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.
R. Thanks be to God.
R. This is he which wrought great wonders before God, and the whole earth is full of his teaching
* May he pray for all people, that their sins may be forgiven unto them Alleluia

R. May he pray for all people, that their sins may be forgiven unto them Alleluia

Homilia 9. in Evangelia
Lectio sancti Evangelii, fratres carissimi, sollicite considerare nos admonet, ne nos, qui plus ceteris in hoc mundo accepisse aliquid cernimur, ab Auctore mundi gravius inde judicemur. Cum enim augentur dona, rationes etiam crescunt donorum. Tanto ergo esse humilior, atque ad serviendum Deo promptior quisque debet ex munere, quanto se obligatiorem esse conspicit in reddenda ratione. Ecce homo qui peregre proficiscitur, servos suos vocat, eisque ad negotium talenta partitur. Post multum vero temporis positurus rationem revertitur. Bene operantes pro apportato lucro remunerat, servum vero a bono opere torpentem damnat.

From the Holy Gospel according to Matthew
Matt 25:14-23
At that time Jesus spake unto His disciples this parable A man, travelling into a far country, called his own servants, and delivered unto them his goods. And so on.
Homily by Pope St Gregory [the Great.]
9th on the Gospels.
Dearly beloved brethren, this Lesson from the Holy Gospel moveth us to take good heed lest we, who are seen in this world to have received more than others, should thereby bring ourselves into greater condemnation from the Maker of this world. To whom much is given, of the same is much required. Therefore, let him that receiveth much, strive to be all the more lowly, and all the more ready to do God service, for his very gifts' sake, knowing that he will be obliged to give account thereof. Behold, a man, travelling into a far country, calleth his own servants, and delivereth unto them talents, to the end that they may trade therewith. After a long time, the lord of those servants cometh, and reckoneth with them, and to them that have done well He rendereth a reward of their labours, but that servant which was careless of his master's work He condemneth.
V. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.
R. Thanks be to God.
R. The Lord loved him and beautified him He clothed him with a robe of glory
* And crowned him at the gates of Paradise. Alleluia
V. The Lord hath put on him the breast-plate of faith, and hath adorned him.
R. And crowned him at the gates of Paradise. Alleluia

V. Jube, domne, benedicere.
Benedictio. Cujus festum colimus, ipse intercedat pro nobis ad Dominum. Amen.
Lectio 8
Quis itaque iste homo est, qui peregre proficiscitur, nisi Redemptor noster, qui in ea carne quam assumpserat, abiit in caelum? Carnis enim locus proprius terra est; quae quasi ad peregrina ducitur, dum per Redemptorem nostrum in caelo collocatur. Sed homo iste peregre proficiscens, servis suis bona sua tradidit, quia fidelibus suis spiritualia dona concessit. Et uni quidem quinque talenta, alii duo, alii vero commisit unum. Quinque etenim sunt corporis sensus, videlicet: visus, auditus, gustus, odoratus, et tactus. Quinque ergo talentis, donum quinque sensuum, id est, exteriorum scientia exprimitur. Duobus vero, intellectus et operatio designatur. Unius autem talenti nomine, intellectus tantummodo designatur.
V. Tu autem, Dómine, miserére nobis.
R. Deo grátias.
R. Sint lumbi vestri praecincti, et lucernae ardentes in manibus vestris:
* Et vos similes hominibus exspectantibus dominum suum, quando revertatur a nuptiis. Alleluia
V. Vigilate ergo, quia nescitis qua hora Dominus vester venturus sit.
R. Et vos similes hominibus exspectantibus dominum suum, quando revertatur a nuptiis. Alleluia.
V. Glória Patri, et Fílio, * et Spirítui Sancto.
R. Et vos similes hominibus exspectantibus dominum suum, quando revertatur a nuptiis. Alleluia.

V. Grant, Lord, a blessing.
Benediction. He whose feast-day we are keeping, be our Advocate with God. Amen.
Reading 8
What other, then, is that man travelling into a far country but our Redeemer, Who is gone up from us into heaven in that Flesh Which He had taken into Himself? For the earth is the home of the Flesh, Which travelleth into a far country when our Redeemer giveth It a place in heaven. But that man travelling into a far country delivered unto his servants his goods and so doth our Redeemer give spiritual gifts unto His faithful people. "And unto one he gave five talents, to another two, and to another one." There are five bodily senses that is, sight, hearing, taste, smell, and touch. By the five talents therefore are signified the five senses, that is, outward knowledge. By the two, wit and work. And by the figure of the one talent, understanding, which is alone.
V. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.
R. Thanks be to God.
R. Let your loins be girded about, and your lights burning
* And ye yourselves like unto men that wait for their lord, when he will return from the wedding. Alleluia
V. Watch therefore, for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come.
R. And ye yourselves like unto men that wait for their lord, when he will return from the wedding. Alleluia
V. Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, * and to the Holy Ghost.
R. And ye yourselves like unto men that wait for their lord, when he will return from the wedding. Alleluia

Lectio sancti Evangelii secundum Joannem.
John 17:1-11
In illo tempore: Sublevatis Jesus oculis in caelum, dixit: Pater, venit hora, clarifica Filium tuum. Et reliqua.
Homilia sancti Augustini Episcopi
Tractatus 104 in Joanni, sub med.
Poterat Dominus noster, unigenitus et coaeternus Patri, in forma servi, et ex forma servi, si hoc opus esset, orare silentio: sed ita se Patri exhibere voluit precatorem, ut meminisset nostrum se esse doctorem. Proinde eam, quam fecit orationem pro nobis, notam fecit et nobis: quoniam tanti magistri non solum ad ipsos sermocinatio, sed etiam pro ipsis ad Patrem oratio discipulorum est aedificatio: et si illorum, qui haec dicta aderant audituri, profecto et nostra, qui fueramus conscripta lecturi.
V. Tu autem, Dómine, miserére nobis.
R. Deo grátias.

Commemoration of the day
Continuation of the Holy Gospel according to John
John 17:1-11
At that time Jesus lifted up His Eyes to heaven, and spake these words Father, the hour is come glorify thy Son. And so on.
Homily by St Austin, Bishop of Hippo.
104th Tract on John.
Our Lord, the Only-begotten and coeternal Son of the Father, was able, if need were, in and from the form of a servant, to pray in silence but He thus manifested Himself in prayer, remembering that He is our Teacher. Thus He made known unto us the prayer which He made for us since He was so great a Master that, not only His discourse to them, but His prayer to the Father for them, is an up-building to His disciples. And if it was so for them who were there to hear, truly it is so for us also for whose instruction it hath been written down.
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.
