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 Proprio Sanctorum}
Quodcumque in orbe nexibus revinxeris,
Erit revinctum Petre in arce siderum:
Et quod resolvit hic potestas tradita,
Erit solutum caeli in alto vertice:
In fine mundi judicabis saeculum.
Patri perenne sit per aevum gloria,
Tibique laudes concinamus inclytas,
Aeterne Nate, sit superne Spiritus
Honor tibi decusque: sancta jugiter
Laudetur omne Trinitas per saeculum.
Amen.

Hymn {from the Proper of Saints}
Peter, whatever thou shalt bind on earth,
The same is bound above the starry sky;
What here thy delegated power doth loose,
Is loosed in heaven's supremest court on high:
To judgement shalt thou come, when the world's end is nigh.
Praise to the Father, through all ages be;
Praise to the consubstantial sovereign Son,
And Holy Ghost, one glorious Trinity;
To whom all majesty and might belong;
So sing we now, and such be our eternal song.
Amen.

1 And at the same time, Herod the king stretched forth his hands, to afflict some of the church.
2 And he killed James, the brother of John, with the sword.
3 And seeing that it pleased the Jews, he proceeded to take up Peter also. Now it was in the days of the Azymes.
4 And when he had apprehended him, he cast him into prison, delivering him to four files of soldiers to be kept, intending, after the pasch, to bring him forth to the people.
5 Peter therefore was kept in prison. But prayer was made without ceasing by the church unto God for him.
V. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.

10 Transeuntes autem primam et secundam custodiam, venerunt ad portam ferream, quae ducit ad civitatem: quae ultro aperta est eis; et exeuntes processerunt vicum unum: et continuo discessit Angelus ab eo.
11 Et Petrus ad se reversus, dixit: Nunc scio vere quia misit Dominus Angelum suum, et eripuit me de manu Herodis, et de omni exspectatione plebis Judaeorum.
V. Tu autem, Dómine, miserére nobis.
R. Deo grátias.
R. Tu es Petrus, et super hanc petram aedificabo Ecclesiam meam, et portae inferi non praevalebunt adversus eam:
* Et tibi dabo claves regni caelorum.

Reading 3
Acts 12:9-11
9 And going out, he followed him, and he knew not that it was true which was done by the angel: but thought he saw a vision.
10 And passing through the first and the second ward, they came to the iron gate that leadeth to the city, which of itself opened to them. And going out, they passed on through one street: and immediately the angel departed from him.
11 And Peter coming to himself, said: Now I know in very deed, that the Lord hath sent his angel, and hath delivered me out of the hand of Herod, and from all the expectation of the people of the Jews.
V. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.
R. Thanks be to God.
R. Thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build My Church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.
* And I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven.
V. Whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth, shall be bound in heaven and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth, shall be loosed in heaven.
R. And I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven.

Theodosio juniore imperante, cum Eudocia ejus uxor Jerosolymam solvendi voti causa venisset, ibi multis est affecta muneribus: Prae ceteris insigne donum accepit ferreae catenae, auro gemmisque ornatae: quam illam esse affirmabant, qua Petrus Apostolus ab Herode vinctus fuerat. Eudocia catenam pie venerata, eam postea Romam ad filiam Eudoxiam misit, quae illam Pontifici maximo detulit: Isque vicissim illi monstravit alteram catenam: qua, Nerone imperatore, idem Apostolus constrictus fuerat.

Reading 4
In the year of our Lord 439, in the reign of the Emperor Theodosius the younger, his wife went to Jerusalem in fulfilment of a vow, and there was gifted with many presents. Among other things, they gave her in especial an iron chain, adorned with gold and precious stones, which they affirmed to be the same wherewith the Apostle Peter had been bound by King Herod. Eudocia, with godly reverence, afterwards sent this chain to Rome, to her daughter Eudoxia, who brought it to the Pope, and the Pope in return showed to her another chain wherewith the same Apostle had been shackled under the Emperor Nero.
V. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.
R. Thanks be to God.
R. Lord, if it be Thou, bid me come unto thee on the water

Cum igitur Pontifex Romanam catenam cum ea, quae Jerosolymis allata fuerat, contulisset, factum est ut illae inter se sic connecterentur, ut non duae, sed una catena ab eodem artifice confecta esse videretur. Quo miraculo tantus honor sacris illis vinculis haberi coepit, ut propterea hoc nomine sancti Petri ad vincula ecclesia titulo Eudoxiae, dedicata sit in Exquiliis, ejusque memoriae dies festus institutus Kalendis Augusti.

Reading 5
When then the Pope put together the Roman chain and that which had been brought from Jerusalem, it came to pass that they got so entangled the one with the other that they seemed no longer two but one chain. From this wonder these holy fetters began to receive such honour, that Eudoxia's Church of St Peter on the Esquiline Mount was dedicated under the name of St Peter in - Chains, and a Feast - Day instituted upon the first day of August in memory of it.
V. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.
R. Thanks be to God.
R. Arise, O Peter! Cast thy garment about thee, gird thee with strength for the saving of the nations.
* The chains are fallen off from thine hands.
V. The Angel of the Lord came upon him, and a light shined in the prison and he smote Peter on the side and raised him up, saying Arise up quickly.

Quo ex tempore honos, qui eo die profanis Gentilium celebritatibus tribui solitus erat, Petri vinculis haberi coepit: quae tacta aegros sanabant, et daemones ejiciebant. Quo in genere anno salutis humanae nongentesimo sexagesimo nono accidit, ut quidam comes, Ottonis imperatoris familiaris, occupatus ab immundo spiritu, seipsum dentibus dilaniaret. Quare is jussu imperatoris ad Joannem Pontificem ducitur: qui, ut sacra catena comitis collum attigit, erumpens nefarius spiritus hominem liberum reliquit: ac deinceps in Urbe sanctorum vinculorum religio propagata est.

Reading 6
From that time forth the honour which before had used to be paid to the profane festivity of the Gentiles, (held in memory of the dedication of the temple of Mars, and of the birth of Claudius,) began to be turned to the Chains of Peter, whose very touch healed the sick, and drove out devils. Among other such cases there befell in the year of man's Redemption 969, that of a certain Count, a servant of the Emperor Otho, who was possessed by an unclean spirit, and tore himself with his own teeth. This man the Emperor ordered to be taken to Pope John, and as soon as he had touched the Count's neck with the hallowed chains, the foul spirit came out of him, and left him free. And thenceforward the reverence for these holy chains greatly increased in the City.
V. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.
R. Thanks be to God.
R. Thou art the Shepherd of the sheep, and the Prince of the Apostles, and unto thee hath God given all the kingdoms of the world.
* Therefore unto thee hath He given the keys of the kingdom of heaven.
V. Whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.
R. Therefore unto thee hath He given the keys of the kingdom of heaven.

Lectio sancti Evangelii secundum Matthaeum.
Matt 16:13-19
In illo tempore: Venit Jesus in partes Caesareae Philippi: et interrogabat discipulos suos, dicens: Quem dicunt homines esse Filium hominis? Et reliqua.
Homilia sancti Augustini Episcopi.
Ex serm. 29. de Sanct. in medio.
Solus Petrus inter Apostolos meruit audire: Amen dico tibi, quia tu es Petrus, et super hanc petram aedificabo Ecclesiam meam; dignus certe, qui aedificandis in domo Dei populis lapis esset ad fundamentum, columna ad sustentaculum, clavis ad regnum. De hoc ait sermo divinus: Et ponebant, inquit, infirmos suos, ut umbra saltem transeuntis Petri obumbraret eos. Si tunc opem ferre poterat umbra corporis, quanto magis nunc plenitudo virtutis? si tunc supplicantibus proderat aura quaedam pertranseuntis quanto magis gratia nunc permanentis? Merito per omnes Christi ecclesias auro pretiosius habetur ferrum illud poenalium vinculorum.
V. Tu autem, Dómine, miserére nobis.
R. Deo grátias.
R. Ego pro te rogavi Petre, ut non deficiat fides tua:
* Et tu aliquando conversus confirma fratres tuos.
V. Caro et sanguis non revelavit tibi, sed Pater meus, qui est in caelis.
R. Et tu aliquando conversus confirma fratres tuos.

V. Grant, Lord, a blessing.

From the Holy Gospel according to Matthew
Matt 16:13-19
At that time Jesus came into the coasts of Caesarea Philippi, and He asked His disciples, saying Who do men say that I, the Son of Man, am And so on.
Homily by St Austin, Bishop of Hippo.
29th on the Saints.
Peter was the only one of the Apostles who was worthy to hear the words Amen, I say unto thee that thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build My Church. Worthy indeed must he be, who, when the nations are to be built up into a Temple of God, is chosen as the ground-stone whereon the building is to stand the pillar whereby it is to be held up, and the key wherethrough entrance is to be made into the kingdom. Concerning him the Word of God saith That they brought forth the sick into the streets, and laid them on beds and couches, that at the least the shadow of Peter passing by might overshadow some of them. (Acts v. 15.) If the shadow of his body then could give help, how much more shall the fulness of his strength give help now If the very air, as he passed by, was then profitable to such as besought him, how much more shall his favour profit where now he abideth It is with reason that, throughout all the Churches of Christ, the iron chains wherewith he was afflicted are reckoned more precious than gold.
V. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.
R. Thanks be to God.
R. Peter, I have prayed for thee, that thy faith fail not
* And when thou art converted, strengthen thy brethren.
V. Flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but My Father Which is in heaven.
R. And when thou art converted, strengthen thy brethren.

V. Jube, domne, benedicere.
Benedictio. Cujus festum colimus, ipse intercedat pro nobis ad Dominum. Amen.

Si tam medicabilis fuit obumbratio visitantis, quanto magis catena vincientis? Si inanis quaedam species vacuae imaginis habere potuit in se vim salutis, quanto plus de corpore meruerunt attrahere salubritatis ferreo pondere sacris impressa membris vincula passionis? Si ad praesidia supplicantium tam potens fuit ante martyrium, quanto magis efficax post triumphum? Felices illi nexus, qui de manicis et compedibus in coronam mutandi, Apostolum contingentes Martyrem reddiderunt. Felicia vincula, quae reum suum usque ad Christi crucem non tam condemnatura, quam consecratura miserunt.
V. Tu autem, Dómine, miserére nobis.
R. Deo grátias.
R. Quem dicunt homines esse Filium hominis? dixit Jesus discipulis suis. Respondens Petrus dixit: Tu es Christus Filius Dei vivi.
* Et ego dico tibi, quia tu es Petrus, et super hanc petram aedificabo Ecclesiam meam.
V. Beatus es Simon Bar-Jona, quia caro et sanguis non revelavit tibi, sed Pater meus, qui est in caelis.
R. Et ego dico tibi, quia tu es Petrus, et super hanc petram aedificabo Ecclesiam meam.
V. Glória Patri, et Fílio, * et Spirítui Sancto.
R. Et ego dico tibi, quia tu es Petrus, et super hanc petram aedificabo Ecclesiam meam.

If his shadow as a visitor was so healthful, what is his chain now that he bindeth and looseth If his empty image in the air had healing power, how much power must have been contracted from his body by those chains, whose iron weight sank into his holy limbs during his suffering If, before he testified, he was so mighty to aid them that called upon him, how much mightier is he now since his victory Blessed were the links, doomed to be changed from fetters and shackles, into a crown, which by touching the Apostle, made him a Martyr. Blessed were the chains, whose prisoner left them for the Cross of Christ, and which brought him thither, not as the instruments of condemnation, but of sanctification.
V. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.
R. Thanks be to God.
R. Jesus asked His disciples, saying Who do men say that I, the Son of man, am Peter answered and said Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God.
* And I say unto thee, that thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build My Church.
V. Blessed art thou, Simon Bar-jona, for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but My Father Which is in heaven.
R. And I say unto thee, that thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build My Church.
V. Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, * and to the Holy Ghost.
R. And I say unto thee, that thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build My Church.

Commemoratio pro sanctis Machabeis.
Sermo sancti Gregorii Nazianzeni.
Orat. 20. in Machabaeos.
Quidnam Machabaei? Horum enim nomine dies festus praesenti frequentia celebratur. Qui etsi apud multos non sunt in honore, quod illud certamen post Christum non susceperunt: tamen digni sunt qui ab omnibus honorentur, quia pro patriis legibus et institutis fortes constantesque se praebuerunt. Nam qui martyrium subiere ante Christi passionem, quid facturi erant, si post Christum persecutionem passi fuissent, ejusque mortem nostrae salutis causa susceptam, ad imitandum propositam habuissent? Quorum enim nullo proposito exemplo talis tantaque virtus fuit, an non ii exemplum illud intuentes, fortius in certamen descendissent? Quin etiam mystica quaedam et occulta ratio mihi quidem atque omnibus Dei amatoribus valde probabilis est, neminem eorum, qui ante Christi adventum martyrio consummati sunt, id sine fide in Christum consequi potuisse.
V. Tu autem, Dómine, miserére nobis.
R. Deo grátias.
Te Deum
Te Deum laudámus: * te Dóminum confitémur.

Commemoratio for the Holy Martyrs.
From the Sermons of St Gregory of Nazianzus (Patriarch of Constantinople)
Sermon 20th on the Machabees.
What were the Machabees For it is under their name that the Festival at which you are this day assembled is kept. It is true that many persons do not hold them in honour, because they fought before the coming of Christ nevertheless they deserve to be venerated by all men, for they bore themselves bravely and faithfully in defence of the laws and ordinances of their people. They that underwent martyrdom before Christ came, what would not have been their deeds, if they had suffered persecution after He came, and had had before them for a pattern the Death which He embraced for the sake of man's salvation With no ensample to lead them, their bravery was what it was had they had the ensample before their eyes, would they not have gone down with double nerve to the battle There is a mystic and subtle idea, which seemeth very likely to me and to all lovers of God, that none of those who were crowned with martyrdom before Christ came, could have been so, unless they had had faith in Christ.
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.

Reliqua omittuntur, nisi Laudes separandae sint.
