Our Father, who art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven.

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.

Hymnus {ex Commune aut Festo}
Sacris solemniis juncta sint gaudia,
Et ex praecordiis sonent praeconia;
Recedant vetera nova sint omnia,
Corda, voces, et opera.
Noctis recolitur coena novissima,
Qua Christus creditur agnum et azyma
Dedisse fratribus, juxta legitima
Priscis indulta patribus.
Post agnum typicum, expletis epulis,
Corpus Dominicum datum discipulis,
Sic totum omnibus, quod totum singulis,
Ejus fatemur manibus.
Dedit fragilibus corporis ferculum,
Dedit et tristibus sanguinis poculum,
Dicens: Accipite quod trado vasculum,
Omnes ex eo bibite.
Sic sacrificium istud instituit,
Cujus officium committi voluit
Solis presbyteris, quibus sic congruit,
Ut sumant, et dent ceteris.
Panis angelicus fit panis hominum:
Dat panis caelicus figuris terminum:
O res mirabilis, manducat Dominum
Pauper, servus, et humilis.
Te trina Deitas unaque poscimus,
Sic nos tu visita, sicut te colimus:
Per tuas semitas duc nos quo tendimus,
Ad lucem, quam inhabitas.
Amen.

Hymn {from the Common or Feast}
At this our solemn feast,
Let holy joys abound,
And from the inmost breast
Let songs of praise resound;
Let ancient rites depart,
And all be new around,
In ev'ry act and voice and heart.
Remember we that eve,
When, the last supper spread,
Christ, as we all believe,
The lamb, with leavenless bread,
Among his brethren shared,
And thus the law obeyed,
Of old unto their sires declared.
The typic lamb consumed,
The legal feast complete,
The Lord unto the twelve
His body gave to eat;
The whole to all, no less
The whole to each, did mete
With his own hands, as we confess.
He gave them, weak and frail,
His flesh, their food to be;
On them, downcast and sad,
His blood bestowèd he:
And thus to them he spake,
“Receive this cup from me,
And all of you of this partake.”
So he this sacrifice
To institute did will,
And charged his priests alone
That office to fulfil:
In them he did confide:
To whom pertaineth still
To take, and to the rest divide.
Thus angels' bread is made
The bread of man today:
The living bread from heaven
With figures doth away:
O wondrous gift indeed!
The poor and lowly may
Upon their Lord and Master feed.
O Triune Deity,
To thee we meekly pray,
So mayst thou visit us,
As we our homage pay;
And in thy footsteps bright
Conduct us on our way
To where thou dwell'st in cloudless light.
Amen.

10 Therefore they sent the ark of God into Accaron. And when the ark of God was come into Accaron, the Accaronites cried out, saying: They have brought the ark of the God of Israel to us, to kill us and our people.

Psalm 41 [6]
41:1 As the hart panteth after the fountains of water; * so my soul panteth after thee, O God.
41:2 My soul hath thirsted after the strong living God; * when shall I come and appear before the face of God?
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.

41:11 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?

De Sermone sancti Joannis Chrysostomi
Homilia 60 ad populum Antiochenum
Unicuique fidelium Christus semetipsum per mysteria commiscet, et quos genuit, per semetipsum enutrit, nec alteri tradit: per hoc tibi rursum persuadens, quod carnem tuam assumpsit Ne torpeamus igitur tanta digni caritate et honore putati. Nonne videtis quanta promptitudine parvuli papillas capiunt, et quanto impetu labia uberibus infigunt? Accedamus cum tanta nos quoque alacritate ad hanc mensam, et ad ubera poculi spiritalis: quinimmo cum longe majori trahamus, tamquam infantes lactentes, spiritus gratiam: et unus sit nobis dolor hac esca privari. Non sunt humanae virtutis opera, haec quae proponuntur: qui tunc ipsa fecit in illa coena, idem ea nunc quoque facit. Nos ministrorum tenemus locum: qui vero sanctificat ea et immutat, ipse est. Nullus itaque Judas assistat, nullus avarus: nam tales mensa non suscipit. Si quis est discipulus, adsit: ait enim: Cum discipulis meis facio Pascha. Haec est illa mensa, et minus nihil habet. Non enim illam quidem Christus, hanc autem homo perficit: verum et hanc ipse quoque.
V. Tu autem, Dómine, miserére nobis.
R. Deo grátias.
R. Coenantibus illis accepit Jesus panem, et benedixit, ac fregit, deditque discipulis suis, et ait:
* Accipite, et comedite: hoc est corpus meum.
V. Dixerunt viri tabernaculi mei: Quis det de carnibus ejus, ut saturemur?
R. Accipite, et comedite: hoc est corpus meum.

V. Grant, Lord, a blessing.
Benediction. May God the Father Omnipotent, be to us merciful and clement. Amen.
Reading 4
From the Sermons of St John Chrysostom Patriarch of Constantinople.
Continuation of the both Homily.
In this mysterious Sacrament Christ doth mingle Himself with all and each of His faithful ones. They are His children, and He nurseth them Himself, and giveth them not over unto another, herein again assuring us that the Flesh He hath taken unto Himself is ours. We then, who have been deemed meet to be treated with such love and such honour, let us be wakeful See ye not how eagerly the sucklings seize on the breasts, how readily they fix their mouths on the paps Let us, with like eagerness, draw nigh to that Table, and suck at that spiritual Cup. Yea, let us prize that gracious Food as the suckling doth its mother's breast, and hold it the great woe of life to be cut off from that Banquet. Here there are set before us no works of man's power He That worked at that Last Supper, the Same worketh the same here still. As for us Priests, we hold the place of His ministers, but He Which halloweth and changeth is He. Hither let there draw nigh no Judas, nor covetous one this is no Table for him. But he which is Christ's disciple, let him come for the Lord saith "I will keep the Passover with My disciples," Matth. xxvi. 18. This is that Passover Table, and it is all Christ's what is wrought there is not some of it Christ's work, and some of it man's work, but it is all His work and not another's.
V. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.
R. Thanks be to God.
R. As they were eating, Jesus took bread, and blest it, and brake it, and gave it to the disciples, and said
* Take, eat this is My Body.
V. The men of my tabernacle said O that we had of his flesh we cannot be satisfied.
R. Take, eat this is My Body.

V. Jube, domne, benedicere.

Inhumanus accedat nemo, nemo crudelis et immisericors, nemo prorsus immundus. Haec ad communicantes dico, et ad vos ministrantes. Nam et ad vos sermonem convertere necessarium est, ut multo cum studio haec dona distribuatis. Non parva vobis imminet ultio, si quemquam, illius culpae conscii hujus mensae participem esse concedatis: sanguis ejus de manibus vestris exquiretur: Sive quis dux militiae sit, sive praefectus, sive princeps diademate coronatus, indigne autem accedat, prohibe: majorem illo potestatem habes. Propterea vos Deus hoc insignivit honore, ut talia discernatis. Hoc vestra dignitas est, hoc securitas, hoc omnis corona; non ut albam et splendentem tunicam circumeatis induti. Verum et tu laice, cum sacerdotem videris offerentem, ne ut sacerdotem esse putes hoc facientem, sed Christi manum invisibiliter extensam.
V. Tu autem, Dómine, miserére nobis.
R. Deo grátias.
R. Accepit Jesus calicem, postquam coenavit, dicens: Hic calix novum testamentum est in meo sanguine:
* Hoc facite in meam commemorationem.
V. Memoria memor ero, et tabescet in me anima mea.
R. Hoc facite in meam commemorationem.

Wither let there draw nigh none brutal, none cruel, none merciless in good sooth, none unclean. I speak to all that take that Holy Communion, and to you also, O ye that do administer the same To you now I turn my speech, to warn you with how great care that Gift is to be given. No slight vengeance is that which awaiteth you if ye admit for a partaker at the Lord's Table the sinner whose guiltiness ye know. At your hands will his blood be required. If a man be a General, a Governor, a crowned Monarch, yet if he come there unworthily, forbid him thou hast greater power than he. To this end hath God exalted you to the honour ye hold, that ye may judge in such matters. This office is your dignity, this is your strength, this is all your crown, this, and not the going about in white robes and glittering vestments. And thou, O layman when thou seest the Priest making the oblation, think not that He Which is then the real Worker is such a Priest as thou seest, but know of a surety that it is Christ's Hand Which is stretched out, albeit unseen by thee.
V. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.
R. Thanks be to God.
R. Jesus took the cup, after supper, saying This cup is the New Testament in My Blood.
* This do in remembrance of Me.
V. My soul hath them still in remembrance, and is humbled in me.
R. This do in remembrance of Me.

Lectio 6
Audiamus igitur et sacerdotes et subditi, quali esca facti sumus digni: audiamus et horreamus. Sanctis carnibus suis nos dedit impleri, semetipsum apposuit immolatum. Quaenam igitur erit nobis excusatio, cum talibus pasti talia peccemus, cum lupi fiamus Agnum comedentes, cum tamquam oves pasti more leonum diripiamus? Hoc enim mysterium non a rapina tantum, verum et ab omni vel tenui inimicitia purum esse penitus jubet: est enim pacis mysterium. Judaeis quidem annuatim propriorum monumenta beneficiorum solemnitates Deus alligavit: tibi vero singulis diebus per haec mysteria. Nullus itaque Judas hanc mensam petat, nullus Simon. Hi namque duo propter avaritiam perierunt: hoc igitur barathrum fugiamus.
V. Tu autem, Dómine, miserére nobis.
R. Deo grátias.
R. Ego sum panis vitae: patres vestri manducaverunt manna in deserto, et mortui sunt:
* Hic est panis de caelo descendens, ut si quis ex ipso manducet, non moriatur.
V. Ego sum panis vivus, qui de caelo descendi: si quis manducaverit ex hoc pane, vivet in aeternum.
R. Hic est panis de caelo descendens, ut si quis ex ipso manducet, non moriatur.
V. Glória Patri, et Fílio, * et Spirítui Sancto.

Reading 6
Let us hear, all of us, both Priests and laymen, let us hear What Food it is whereof we are made worthy let us hear, I say, and let us quake. The Lord satisfieth us with His Own holy Flesh, setting Himself slain before us. What excuse therefore shall we have, if, being so fed as we are, we sin as we do If, eating of the Lamb, we are still wolves If, pastured as the sheep of the flock, we raven like lions This mysterious Sacrament forbiddeth unto us not outrage only, but any the least enmity it is the Mystery of peace. Upon the Jews God laid it to make year by year by solemn festivals a yearly commemoration of His mercies unto them, but upon thee to do this in remembrance of His love to thee, day by day. To this Table then let there draw nigh no Judas Iscariot, no Simon Magus. These men fell through covetousness let us fly that bottomless pit.
V. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.
R. Thanks be to God.
R. I am that Bread of life. Your fathers did eat manna in the wilderness, and are dead.
* This is the Bread Which cometh down from heaven, that a man may eat thereof, and not die.
V. I am the living Bread Which came down from heaven if any man eat of this Bread, he shall live for ever.
R. This is the Bread Which cometh down from heaven, that a man may eat thereof, and not die.
V. Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, * and to the Holy Ghost.
R. This is the Bread Which cometh down from heaven, that a man may eat thereof, and not die.

Psalm 80 [8]
80:1 Rejoice, O God, our helper: * sing aloud to the God of Jacob.
80:2 Take a psalm, and bring hither the timbrel: * the pleasant psaltery with the harp.
80:3 Blow up the trumpet on the new moon, * on the noted day of your solemnity.
80:4 For it is a commandment in Israel, * and a judgment to the God of Jacob.
80:5 He ordained it for a testimony in Joseph, when he came out of the land of Egypt: * he heard a tongue which he knew not.
80:6 He removed his back from the burdens: * his hands had served in baskets.
80:7 Thou calledst upon me in affliction, and I delivered thee: * I heard thee in the secret place of tempest: I proved thee at the waters of contradiction.
80:8 Hear, O my people, and I will testify to thee: * O Israel, if thou wilt hearken to me; there shall be no new god in thee: neither shalt thou adore a strange god.
80:9 For I am the Lord thy God, who brought thee out of the land of Egypt: * open thy mouth wide, and I will fill it.
80:10 But my people heard not my voice: * and Israel hearkened not to me.
80:11 So I let them go according to the desires of their heart: * they shall walk in their own inventions.
80:12 If my people had heard me: * if Israel had walked in my ways:
80:13 I should soon have humbled their enemies, * and laid my hand on them that troubled them.
80:14 The enemies of the Lord have lied to him: * and their time shall be for ever.

John 6:56-59
In illo tempore: Dixit Jesus turbis Judaeorum: Caro mea, vere est cibus: et sanguis meus, vere est potus. Et reliqua.
De Homilia sancti Augustini Episcopi.
Tract. 26. in Joann. post medium)
Hic est panis, qui de caelo descendit. Hunc panem significavit manna, hunc panem significavit altare Dei. Sacramenta illa fuerunt: in signis diversa sunt, sed in re, quae significatur, paria sunt. Apostolum audi: Nolo enim vos, inquit, ignorare fratres, quia patres nostri omnes sub nube fuerunt, et omnes mare transierunt, et omnes per Moysen baptizati sunt in nube, et in mari: et omnes eamdem escam spiritalem manducaverunt. Spiritalem utique eamdem: nam corporalem alteram: quia illi manna, nos aliud: spiritalem vero, quam nos, sed patres nostri, non patres illorum, quibus nos similes sumus, non quibus illi similes fuerunt. Et adjungit: Et omnes eumdem potum spiritalem biberunt. Aliud illi, aliud nos, sed specie visibili quidem, tamen hoc idem significante virtute spiritali. Quomodo enim eumdem potum? Bibebant, inquit, de spiritali, sequente petra: petra autem erat Christus. Inde panis, inde potus: Petra Christus in signo, verus Christus in verbo, et in carne. Et quomodo biberunt? Percussa est petra de virga bis, gemina percussio, duo ligna crucis significat.
V. Tu autem, Dómine, miserére nobis.
R. Deo grátias.
R. Qui manducat meam carnem, et bibit meum sanguinem,
* In me manet, et ego in eo.
V. Non est alia natio tam grandis, quae habeat deos appropinquantes sibi, sicut Deus noster adest nobis.
R. In me manet, et ego in eo.

V. Grant, Lord, a blessing.
Benediction. May His blessing be upon us who doth live and reign for ever. Amen.

From the Holy Gospel according to John John 6:56-59 At that time Jesus said unto the multitudes of the Jews My Flesh is meat indeed, and My Blood is drink indeed. And so on.
Homily by St Austin, Bishop of Hippo.
26th Tract on John.
"This is the bread which cometh down from heaven," v. 50. By " this bread "the Lord here signifieth both the manna, and That Which we receive at the Altar of God. Both these are, as it were, Sacramental signs, differing indeed somewhat in their outward and visible part, but pointing to the Same Thing signified. Hear what the Apostle saith "Moreover, brethren, I would not that ye should be ignorant how that all our fathers were under the cloud, and all passed through the sea, and were all baptized unto Moses in the cloud and in the sea, and did all eat the same spiritual meat." 1 Cor. x. 1-3. This meat was the same spiritually but not really they ate manna we eat Something else. Spiritually they ate What we eat but our fathers not their fathers; unto whom we are like not unto whom they are like. And it is added "And did all drink the same Spiritual drink." They drank one thing, and we drank Another, the difference being in the outer show, the sameness in that the Same Thing is pointed to by both. And what was that Same Drink? "They drank of the spiritual Rock that followed them, and that Rock was Christ." Him did bread and rock alike signify. The Rock was a figure, but by the Word and in the Flesh there is the very Christ Himself. And how came they to drink of that rock " Moses lift up his hand, and with his rod he smote the rock twice, and the water came out abundantly." Num. xx. 11. These two strokes of the rod upon the rock are a figure of the two beams whereof the Cross was made.
V. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.
R. Thanks be to God.
R. He that eateth My Flesh and drinketh My Blood,
* Dwelleth in Me, and I in him.
V. What nation is there so great, who hath gods so nigh unto them, as the Lord our God is to us
R. Dwelleth in Me, and I in him.

V. Jube, domne, benedicere.
Benedictio. Divinum auxilium maneat semper nobiscum. Amen.

Norunt fideles corpus Christi, si corpus Christi non negligant esse. Fiant corpus Christi, si volunt vivere de Spiritu Christi. De Spiritu Christi non vivit, nisi corpus Christi. Intelligite fratres mei, quid dixerim. Homo es, et spiritum habes, et corpus habes. Spiritum dico, quae anima vocatur, qua constas quod homo es: constas enim ex anima, et corpore. Habes enim spiritum invisibilem, corpus visibile. Dic mihi, quid ex quo vivat? Spiritus tuus vivit ex corpore tuo, an corpus tuum ex spiritu tuo? Respondet omnis, qui vivit: qui autem hoc non potest respondere, nescio si vivit. Quid respondet omnis, qui vivit? Corpus utique meum vivit de spiritu meo. Vis ergo et tu vivere de Spiritu Christi? In corpore esto Christi.
V. Tu autem, Dómine, miserére nobis.
R. Deo grátias.
R. Misit me vivens Pater, et ego vivo propter Patrem:
* Et qui manducat me, vivet propter me.
V. Cibavit illum Dominus pane vitae et intellectus.
R. Et qui manducat me, vivet propter me.
V. Glória Patri, et Fílio, * et Spirítui Sancto.
R. Et qui manducat me, vivet propter me.

Christ's faithful ones discern the Lord's Body while they remain watchful members of His Body. They remain members of His Body as long as they will to live according to His Spirit. The Spirit of Christ giveth life to nothing but the body of Christ. Now, my brethren, understand what I am going to say. Thou art a man, and hast a body and a spirit. By spirit I mean the soul, which causeth thee to be a man at all. Thou art a man, made up of soul and body. thy spirit is unseen, thy body seen. Tell me, which of them is it which giveth animation to the other Doth thy spirit derive animation from thy body, or thy body from thy spirit Every one who liveth will answer for if any one cannot answer this, I know not if he be alive. What will whosoever hath life answer " Verily, it is my spirit which doth animate my body." Wilt thou then live by the Spirit of Christ Be of the Body of Christ.
V. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.
R. Thanks be to God.
R. As the living Father hath sent Me, and I live by the Father,
* So he that eateth Me, even he shall live by Me.
V. With the bread of life and understanding hath the Lord fed him.
R. So he that eateth Me, even he shall live by Me.
V. Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, * and to the Holy Ghost.
R. So he that eateth Me, even he shall live by Me.

Numquid enim corpus meum vivit de spiritu tuo? Meum vivit de spiritu meo, et tuum de spiritu tuo. Non potest vivere corpus Christi, nisi de Spiritu Christi. Inde est, quod exponens nobis Apostolus Paulus hunc panem: Unus panis, inquit, unum corpus multi sumus. O sacramentum pietatis, o signum unitatis, o vinculum caritatis! Qui vult vivere, habet ubi vivat, habet unde vivat. Accedat, credat, incorporetur, ut vivificetur. Non abhorreat a compage membrorum, non sit putre membrum quod resecari mereatur, non sit distortum, de quo erubescatur. Sit pulchrum, sit aptum, sit sanum: haereat corpori, vivat Deo de Deo. Nunc laboret in terra, ut postea regnet in caelo.
V. Tu autem, Dómine, miserére nobis.
R. Deo grátias.

Is it not my spirit which doth animate my body My spirit doth animate my body, and thy spirit doth animate thy body. The Body of Christ liveth not save by the Spirit of Christ. Hence it is that the Apostle Paul saith, touching this Bread " We, being many, are one bread, and one body, for we are all partakers of that one Bread." 1 Cor. x. 17. O what a Sacrament of love O what a seal of union O what a bond of charity He that willeth to live hath here where to live, and whence to live. Let him come near, let him believe, let him enter into that Body, that he may be quickened. Let him not sever himself from the fit joining-together of all the members let him not be as a mortifying limb, that must needs be cut off, nor a mis-shapen limb, a cause to blush. Let him be goodly, and useful, and healthy. Let him cleave unto the body let him live by God to God let him labour now on earth, that he may reign hereafter in heaven.
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.
