Hymnus {ex Commune aut Festo}
Tristes erant Apostoli
De Christi acerbo funere,
Quem morte crudelissima
Servi necarant impii.
Sermone verax Angelus
Mulieribus praedixerat:
Mox ore Christus gaudium
Gregi feret fidelium.
Ad anxios Apostolos
Currunt statim dum nuntiae,
Illae micantis obvia
Christi tenent vestigia.
Galilaeae ad alta montium
Se conferunt Apostoli,
Jesuque, voti compotes,
Almo beantur lumine.
Ut sis perenne mentibus
Paschale Jesu gaudium;
A morte dira criminum
Vitae renatos libera.
Deo Patri sit gloria,
Et Fílio, qui a mórtuis
Surréxit, ac Paraclito,
In sempiterna sæcula.
Amen.

Hymn {from the Common or Feast}
While Christ's disciples, grieving, sad,
Their master's painful death deplore,
Whom faithless servants' cruel hands,
Had bathed in his own crimson gore;
Quick from the happy realms above,
An angel comes on joyful wing,
And to the women tells the joy
That to his flock their Lord will bring.
As they with eager steps make haste,
Their joyous message to repeat,
Their master's glorious form they see,
And falling clasp his sacred feet.
Cheered by this tale, his faithful flock
The Galilean mount ascend,
And there with loving awe behold
Their heart's sole wish, their truest friend.
That thou mayst be our Paschal joy
Through happy, never-ending years,
thine own poor children, Jesu, free
From sin's sad death with all its fears.
Hymns of glory, songs of praise,
Father, unto Thee we raise;
Risen Lord, all praise to Thee,
Ever with the Spirit be
Amen.

For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea, which is moved and carried about by the wind.
7 Therefore let not that man think that he shall receive any thing of the Lord.
A double minded man is inconstant in all his ways.
9 But let the brother of low condition glory in his exaltation:
10 And the rich, in his being low; because as the flower of the grass shall he pass away.
11 For the sun rose with a burning heat, and parched the grass, and the flower thereof fell off, and the beauty of the shape thereof perished: so also shall the rich man fade away in his ways.

Jas 1:12-16
12 Beatus vir qui suffert tentationem: quoniam cum probatus fuerit, accipiet coronam vitae, quam repromisit Deus diligentibus se.
13 Nemo cum tentatur, dicat quoniam a Deo tentatur: Deus enim intentator malorum est: ipse autem neminem tentat.
14 Unusquisque vero tentatur a concupiscentia sua abstractus, et illectus.
15 Deinde concupiscentia cum conceperit, parit peccatum: peccatum vero cum consummatum fuerit, generat mortem.
16 Nolite itaque errare, fratres mei dilectissimi.

Reading 3
Jas 1:12-16
12 Blessed is the man that endureth temptation; for when he hath been proved, he shall receive a crown of life, which God hath promised to them that love him.
13 Let no man, when he is tempted, say that he is tempted by God. For God is not a tempter of evils, and he tempteth no man.
14 But every man is tempted by his own concupiscence, being drawn away and allured.
15 Then when concupiscence hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin. But sin, when it is completed, begetteth death.
16 Do not err, therefore, my dearest brethren
V. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.
R. Thanks be to God.
R. Precious in the sight of the Lord, alleluia.

Philippus Bethsaidae natus, unus ex duodecim Apostolis, qui primum a Christo Domino vocati sunt: a quo cum accepisset Nathanael, venisse Messiam in lege promissum, ad Dominum deductus est. Quam vero Christus eum familiariter adhiberet, illud facile declarat, quod Gentiles Salvatorem videre cupientes, ad Philippum accesserunt: et Dominus, cum in solitudine hominum multitudinem pascere vellet, sic Philippum affatus est: Unde ememus panes ut manducent hi? Is, accepto Spiritu sancto, cum ei Scythia ad praedicandum Evangelium obtigisset, omnem fere illam gentem ad christianam fidem convertit. Postremo cum Hierapolim Phrygiae venisset, pro Christi nomine cruci affixus, lapidibusque obrutus est, Kalendis Maji. Ejus corpus ibidem a Christianis sepultum, postea Romam delatum, in basilica duodecim Apostolorum una cum corpore beati Jacobi Apostoli conditum est.

Reading 4
Philip was born in the town of Bethsaida, and was one of the first of the twelve Apostles who were called by the Lord Christ. Then Philip findeth Nathanael, and saith unto him We have found Him of Whom Moses in the Law, and the Prophets, did write." And so he brought him to the Lord. How familiarly he was in the company of Christ, is manifest from that which is written " There were certain Greeks among them that came up to worship at the Feast the same came therefore to Philip, and desired him, saying: Sir, we would see Jesus." When the Lord was in the wilderness, and was about to feed a great multitude, "He said unto Philip Whence shall we buy bread, that these may eat" Philip, after that he had received the Holy Ghost, took Scythia, by lot, as the land wherein he was to preach the Gospel, and brought nearly all that people to believe in Christ. At the last he came to Hierapolis in Phrygia, and there, for Christ's Name's sake, he was fastened to a cross and stoned to death. The day was the first of May. The Christians of Hierapolis buried his body at that place, but it was afterwards brought to Rome and laid in the Basilica of the Twelve Apostles, beside that of the blessed Apostle James.

Jacobus frater Domini, cognomento Justus, ab ineunte aetate vinum et siceram non bibit, carne abstinuit, numquam tonsus est, nec unguento nec balneo usus. Huic uni licebat ingredi in Sancta sanctorum. Idem lineis vestibus utebatur: cui etiam assiduitas orandi ita callum genibus obduxerat, ut duritie cameli pellem imitaretur. Eum post Christi ascensionem Apostoli Jerosolymorum episcopum creaverunt: ad quem etiam princeps Apostolorum misit, qui nuntiaret se e carcere ab Angelo eductum fuisse. Cum autem in concilio Jerosolymis controversia esset orta de lege et circumcisione: Jacobus Petri sententiam secutus, ad fratres habuit concionem, in qua vocationem Gentium probavit: fratribusque absentibus scribendum esse dixit, ne Gentibus jugum Mosaicae legis imponerent De quo et loquitur Apostolus ad Galatas: Alium autem Apostolorum vidi neminem, nisi Jacobum fratrem Domini.

Reading 5
JAMES, surnamed the Just, the brother of our Lord Jesus Christ, was a Nazarite from the womb. During his whole life he never drank wine or strong drink, never ate meat, never shaved, and never took a bath. He was the only man who was allowed to go into the Holy of Holies. His raiment was always linen. So continually did he kneel in prayer, that the skin of his knees became horny, like a camel's knees. After Christ was ascended, the Apostles made James Bishop of Jerusalem and even the Prince of the Apostles gave special intelligence to him after that he was delivered from prison by an angel. When in the Council of Jerusalem certain questions were mooted touching the law and circumcision, James, following the opinion of Peter, addressed a discourse to the brethren, wherein he proved the call of the Gentiles, and commanded letters to be sent to such brethren as were absent, that they might take heed not to lay upon the Gentiles the yoke of the Law of Moses. It is of him that the Apostle Paul saith, writing to the Galatians " Other of the Apostles saw I none, save James the Lord's brother."
V. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.
R. Thanks be to God.
R. With great power did the Apostles
* Give testimony of the resurrection of Jesus Christ our Lord, alleluia, alleluia.

Tanta autem erat Jacobi vitae sanctitas, ut fimbriam vestimenti ejus certatim homines cuperent attingere. Nam is nonaginta sex annos natus, cum triginta annis illi Ecclesiae sanctissime praefuisset, Christum Dei Filium constantissime praedicans, lapidibus primum appetitur: mox in altissimum templi locum adductus, inde praecipitatus est. Qui confractis cruribus, jacens semivivus, manus tendebat ad caelum, Deumque pro illorum salute deprecabatur his verbis: Ignosce eis Domine, quia nesciunt quid faciunt. Qua in oratione, graviter ejus capite fullonis fuste percusso, animam Deo reddidit, septimo Neronis anno, et juxta templum ubi praecipitatus fuerat, sepultus est. Unam scripsit epistolam, quae de septem catholicis est.

So great was James' holiness of life that men strove one with another to touch the hem of his garment. When he was ninety-six years old, and had most holily governed the Church of Jerusalem for thirty years, ever most constantly preaching Christ the Son of God, he laid down his life for the faith. He was first stoned, and afterward taken up on to a pinnacle of the Temple and cast down from thence. His legs were broken by the fall, and he was wellnigh dead, but he lifted up his hands towards heaven, and prayed to God for the salvation of his murderers, saying " Lord, forgive them, for they know not what they do " As he said this, one that stood by smote him grievously upon the head with a fuller's club, and he resigned his spirit to God. He testified in the seventh year of Nero, and was buried hard by the Temple, in the place where he had fallen. He wrote one of the Seven Epistles which are called Catholic.
V. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.

Lectio sancti Evangelii secundum Joannem.
John 14:1-13
In illo tempore: Dixit Jesus discipulis suis: Non turbetur cor vestrum. Creditis in Deum, et in me credite. In domo Patris mei mansiones multae sunt. Et reliqua.
Homilia sancti Augustini Episcopi.
Tract. 67. in Joannem.
Erigenda est nobis, fratres, ad Deum major intentio, ut verba sancti Evangelii, qua modo in nostris auribus sonuerunt, etiam mente capere utcumque possimus. Ait enim Dominus Jesus: Non turbetur cor vestrum. Creditis in Deum, et in me credite. Ne mortem tamquam homines timerent, et ideo turbarentur, consoletur eos, etiam se Deum esse contestans. Creditis, inquit, in Deum, et in me credite. Consequens est enim, ut si in Deum creditis, et in me credere debeatis: quod non esset consequens, si Christus non esset Deus.
V. Tu autem, Dómine, miserére nobis.
R. Deo grátias.
R. Ego sum vitis vera, et vos palmites:
* Qui manet in me, et ego in eo, hic fert fructum multum, alleluia, alleluia.
V. Sicut dilexit me Pater, et ego dilexi vos.
R. Qui manet in me, et ego in eo, hic fert fructum multum, alleluia, alleluia.

V. Grant, Lord, a blessing.
Benediction. May the Gospel's holy lection be our safety and protection. Amen.

From the Holy Gospel according to John
John 14:1-13
At that time Jesus said unto His disciples Let not your heart be troubled. Ye believe in God, believe also in Me. In My Father's house there are many mansions. And so on.
Homily by St Austin, Bishop of Hippo.
67th Tract on John.
It behoveth us, my brethren, to have our minds more given to God-ward, if we would that those words of the Holy Gospel which have just sounded in our ears, should become a living reality for our understandings. The Lord Jesus saith " Let not your heart be troubled. Ye believe in God, believe also in Me." Lest, being but men, their heart should be troubled by the fear of death, He strengtheneth them, even by the reminder that He is God. He saith " Ye believe in God, believe also in Me" for if ye believe in God, ye must needs believe in Me. And this were not so, if Christ were not God.
V. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.
R. Thanks be to God.
R. I am the vine: you the branches.
* He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same beareth much fruit, alleluia, alleluia.
V. As the Father hath loved me, I also have loved you.
R. He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same beareth much fruit, alleluia, alleluia.

V. Jube, domne, benedicere.
Benedictio. Quorum festum colimus, ipsi intercedant pro nobis ad Dominum. Amen.
Lectio 8
Creditis in Deum, et in eum credite, cui natura est, non rapina, esse aequalem Deo: semetipsum enim exinanivit, non tamen formam Dei amittens, sed formam servi accipiens. Mortem metuitis huic formae servi: non turbetur cor vestrum: suscitabit illam forma Dei. Sed quid est, quod sequitur, In domo Patris mei mansiones multae sunt: nisi quia et sibi metuebant? Unde audire debuerunt: Non turbetur cor vestrum. Quis enim eorum non metueret, cum Petro dictum esset, fidentiori atque promptiori: Non cantabit gallus, donec ter me neges?
V. Tu autem, Dómine, miserére nobis.
R. Deo grátias.
R. Candidi facti sunt Nazaraei ejus, alleluia: splendorem Deo dederunt, alleluia:
* Et sicut lac coagulati sunt, alleluia, alleluia.
V. Candidiores nive, nitidiores lacte, rubicundiores ebore antiquo, sapphiro pulchriores.
R. Et sicut lac coagulati sunt, alleluia, alleluia.
V. Glória Patri, et Fílio, * et Spirítui Sancto.
R. Et sicut lac coagulati sunt, alleluia, alleluia.

V. Grant, Lord, a blessing.
Benediction. They whose feast-day we are keeping, be our Advocates with God. Amen
Reading 8
We believe in God, believe also in Him Who is by nature and not by robbery equal with God, for in that He emptied Himself, He did it not by laying aside the form of God, but by taking upon Him the form of a* servant. Ye fear death for this form of a servant, but let not your heart be troubled, the form of God will raise it up again." But what signifieth that which followeth " In My Father's house there are many mansions." Was it not that they had fear on their own account, and needed for themselves to hear Him say, " Let not your heart be troubled " Which of them trembled not when they had heard Him say to Peter, the lealest and boldest of them all, "The cock shall not crow this day, before that thou shalt thrice deny that thou knowest Me "
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.

V. Jube, domne, benedicere.

Lectio 9
Tamquam ergo essent ab illo perituri, merito turbabantur: sed cum audiunt, In domo Patris mei mansiones multae sunt: si quo minus dixissem vobis: Quia vado parare vobis locum: a perturbatione recreantur, certi ac fidentes, etiam post pericula tentationum, se apud Deum cum Christo esse mansuros: quia etsi alius est alio fortior, alius alio sapientior, alius alio justior, alius alio sanctior: in domo Patris mei mansiones multae sunt. Nullus eorum alienabitur ab illa domo ubi mansionem pro suo quisque accepturus est merito.
V. Tu autem, Dómine, miserére nobis.
R. Deo grátias.

Reading 9
Meetly were they troubled, for that they were about to be scattered from Him, but when they heard Him say, "In My Father's house are many mansions," they had been comforted even if He had not also said, "I go to prepare a place for you," for then they believed and knew, that, when all dangers and all trials were for ever over, they should be for ever with the Lord, with Christ and with God. Yea, though one man be stronger than another, though one be wiser than another, though one be holier than another, yet " in My Father's house are many mansions." That house is an house wherein none are strangers, but every man shall receive a mansion therein according as his work shall be.
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.
