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.

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}
Nullis te génitor blandítiis trahit,
Non vitæ cáperis dívitis ótio,
Gemmarúmve nitóre,
Regnandíve cupídine.
Diris non ácies te gládii minis,
Nec terret périmens carníficis furor:
Nam mansúra cadúcis
Præfers gáudia cǽlitum.
Nunc nos e Súperum prótege sédibus
Clemens, atque preces, dum cánimus tua
Quæsítam nece palmam,
Pronis áuribus éxcipe.
Sit rerum Dómino jugis honor Patri,
Et Natum célebrent ora precántium,
Divinúmque suprémis
Flamen láudibus éfferant.

Hymn {from the Proper of Saints}
From the truth thy soul to turn,
Pleads a father's voice in vain;
Naught to thee were jewelled crown,
Earthly pleasure, earthly gain.
Angry threat and naked sword
Daunted not thy courage high;
Choosing glory with the Lord,
Rather than a present joy.
Now amidst the Saints in light,
Throned in bliss forevermore;—
Oh! from thy exalted height,
Hear the solemn prayer we pour.
Honour, glory, majesty,
To the Father and the Son,
With the Holy Spirit be,
While eternal ages run.
Amen.

10 Cui auscultábant omnes a mínimo usque ad máximum, dicéntes: Hic est virtus Dei, quæ vocátur magna.
11 Attendébant autem eum: propter quod multo témpore magíis suis dementásset eos.
12 Cum vero credidíssent Philíppo evangelizánti de regno Dei, in nómine Jesu Christi baptizabántur viri ac mulíeres.

Lesson from the Acts of the Apostles
Acts 8:9-13
9 There was therefore great joy in that city. Now there was a certain man named Simon, who before had been a magician in that city, seducing the people of Samaria, giving out that he was some great one:
10 To whom they all gave ear, from the least to the greatest, saying: This man is the power of God, which is called great.
11 And they were attentive to him, because, for a long time, he had bewitched them with his magical practices.
12 But when they had believed Philip preaching of the kingdom of God, in the name of Jesus Christ, they were baptized, both men and women.
13 Then Simon himself believed also; and being baptized, he adhered to Philip. And being astonished, wondered to see the signs and exceeding great miracles which were done.
℣. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.
℟. Thanks be to God.
℟. I am the True Vine, and ye are the branches;
* He that abideth in Me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit, alleluia, alleluia.

14 Now when the apostles, who were in Jerusalem, had heard that Samaria had received the word of God, they sent unto them Peter and John.
15 Who, when they were come, prayed for them, that they might receive the Holy Ghost.
16 For he was not as yet come upon any of them; but they were only baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.
17 Then they laid their hands upon them, and they received the Holy Ghost.
18 And when Simon saw, that by the imposition of the hands of the apostles, the Holy Ghost was given, he offered them money,

22 Do penance therefore for this thy wickedness; and pray to God, that perhaps this thought of thy heart may be forgiven thee.

Hermenegildus rex, Leovigildi regis Visigothorum filius, ab Ariana hæresi ad fidem catholicam viro reverendissimo Leandro Hispalensi episcopo, dudum mihi in amicitiis familiariter juncto, prædicante, conversus est. Quem pater Arianus, ut ad eamdem hæresim rediret, et præmiis suadere, et minis terrere conatus est. Cumque ille constantissime responderet, numquam se veram fidem posse relinquere, quam semel agnovisset: iratus pater eum privavit regno, rebusque exspoliavit omnibus. Cumque nec sic virtutem mentis illius emollire valuisset, in arcta illum custodia concludens, collum manusque illius ferro ligavit. Cœpit ítaque Hermenegildus rex juvenis terrenum regnum despicere, et forti desiderio cæleste quærens, in ciliciis vinculatus jacens, omnipotenti Deo ad confortandum se, preces effundere; tantoque sublimius gloriam transeuntis mundi despicere, quanto et religatus agnoverat nihil fuísse, quod potuerit auferri.

From the Book of Dialogues written by Pope St. Gregory
Lib. 3. Cap. 31
Hermenegild, the son of Leovigild, King of the Visigoths, was turned from the Arian heresy to the Catholic Faith by the preaching of that most worshipful man Leander, Bishop of Seville, the same who was for a long season mine own familiar friend. Then his father, being himself an Arian, strove to bring him back to that heresy, first by offering him gifts, and then seeking to awe him by threatening. And when he answered alway that, having once had knowledge of the true faith, he never could forsake it, his father was wroth, and took away his kingdom from him, and plundered him of all his goods. And when not even so could he sap the manliness of his soul, he cast him into a most strait prison, having his neck and his hands in fetters of iron. And so that young King Hermenegild began to hold in little esteem an earthly kingdom, and to long exceedingly for an heavenly. Yea, he clothed himself in sackcloths in the prison, and as he lay bound therein, he poured forth supplications to Almighty God to give him strength. There he lay bound, having suffered the loss of all things, but his suffering made him but to esteem more worthless the glory of this world, which passeth away so easily.
℣. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.

Superveniente autem Paschalis festivitatis die, intempestæ noctis silentio, ad eum perfidus pater Arianum episcopum misit, ut ex ejus manu sacrilegæ consecrationis communionem perciperet, atque per hoc ad patris gratiam redire mereretur. Sed vir Deo deditus, Ariano episcopo venienti exprobravit, ut debuit, ejusque a se perfidiam dignis increpationibus repulit: quia etsi exterius jacebat ligatus, apud se tamen in magno mentis culmine stabat securus. Ad se ítaque reverso episcopo, Arianus pater infremuit, statimque suos apparitores misit, qui constantissimum Confessorem Dei illic ubi jacebat, occiderent; quod et factum est. Nam mox ut ingressi sunt, securim cerebro ejus infigentes, vitam corporis abstulerunt: hocque in eo valuerunt perimere, quod ipsum quoque, qui peremptus est, in se constiterat despexisse. Sed pro ostendenda vera ejus gloria, superna quoque non defuere miracula.

Reading 5
But when the day of the glad Passover came, at dead of night, the unbelieving father sent to his son the Arian Bishop, to offer him, as the price of his favour, to receive at the hands of the said Bishop the Communion which was the result of a sacrilegious consecration. But when the Arian Bishop came into the prison, the servant of God, remembering that he was not his own but God's man, rebuked the unbeliever as he deserved, and drave him from his presence with just reproaches for though he was weak and bound as touching this outer body, yet was he strong in the mighty castle of his soul. The Bishop, therefore, went away again to that Arian father. And when he came to Leovigild, he waxed exceeding wroth, and sent his servants to kill God's faithful witness where he lay. Which thing was done for as soon as they came to him into the prison, they clave his head with an axe, and freed him from the dying life of this house of our tabernacle. And so they did to him all that which they that kill the body are able to do, and it was a thing which now of a long season he feared not, seeing that when they have done that, they have no more that they can do, but fearing rather Him Who, when He hath killed, hath power to cast both body and soul into hell. But God, to make manifest the glory of His servant, was pleased to work signs from heaven, for of a sudden the solemn swell of singing of Psalms was heard at that dead hour of night from round about the place where lay the body of the kingly martyr, kingly now in an higher and truer sense than the sense of earthly kingship, since he had witnessed a good confession for the truth, sealing it with his blood.

Quidam étiam ferunt, quod illic nocturno tempore accensæ lampades apparebant; unde et factum est, quatenus corpus illius, ut videlicet Martyris, jure a cunctis fidelibus venerari debuisset. Pater vero perfidus et parricida, commotus pœnitentia, hoc fecisse se doluit, nec tamen usque ad obtinendam salutem pœnituit. Nam quia vera esset catholica fides agnovit, sed gentis suæ timore perterritus, ad hanc pervenire non meruit. Qui, oborta ægritudine, ad extrema perductus est, et Leandro episcopo, quem prius vehementer afflixerat, Reccaredum regem filium suum, quem in sua hæresi relinquebat, commendare curavit, ut in ipso quoque talia faceret, qualia et in fratre suis exhortationibus fecisset. Qua commendatione expleta, defunctus est. Post cujus mortem Reccaredus rex non patrem perfidum, sed fratrem Martyrem sequens, ab Arianæ hæreseos pravitate conversus est, totamque Visigothorum gentem ita ad veram perduxit fidem, ut nullum in suo regno militare permitteret, qui regni Dei hostis exsistere per hæreticam pravitatem non timeret Nec mirum quod veræ fidei prædicator factus est, qui frater est Martyris: cujus hunc quoque merita adjuvant, ut ad omnipotentis Dei gremium tam multos reducat.

Come say, too, that lights were seen there that night. Wherefore it came to pass that the body of the martyr became the rightful object of reverence to all God's faithful people. The unbelieving father, murderer of his own child, was seized with remorse, and repented him or what he had done, but he sorrowed not unto salvation. For though he knew that the Catholic faith was true, he stood in fear of his people, and deserved not to attain unto it. He fell sick, and, when he was at the point of death, he made it his duty to recommend King Reccared his surviving son to the care of the Bishop Leander, whom aforetime he had grievously persecuted, that though Reccared was now left in heresy, the Bishop might work in him by his exhortations the same change that he had worked in his brother, which when Leovigild had said, he died. After his death, King Reccared took for his example not his unbelieving father but his martyred brother. He forsook the Arian heresy, and brought the whole nation of the Visigoths to believe in the true faith, so that he allowed no man in his kingdom to be an officer, who dared any longer range himself through heresy as an enemy of the Kingdom of God. Neither need we marvel that Reccared was a preacher of the faith, since he had had to his brother a martyr, for whose sake Almighty God hath helped him to bring back so many to the bosom of their Father Who is in heaven.
℣. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.

From the holy Gospel according to John
John 15:1-7
In that time Jesus said to his disciples: I an the true vine; and my Father is the husbandman. And so on.
Homily by St. Augustine, 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, Eph. v. 23, and that we are the members of Him 30 Who is the Mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus 1 Tim. ii. 5. 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.
℣. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.
℟. Thanks be to God.
℟. I am the vine: you the branches.
* He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same beareth much fruit, alleluia, alleluia.
℣. As the Father hath loved me, I also have loved you.
℟. He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same beareth much fruit, alleluia, alleluia.

Quid ergo est, Ego sum vitis vera? Numquid ut ádderet, vera, hoc ad eam vitem rétulit, unde ista similitúdo transláta est? Sic enim dícitur vitis per similitúdinem, non per proprietátem: quemádmodum dícitur ovis, agnus, leo, petra, lapis anguláris, et cétera hujúsmodi, quæ magis ipsa sunt vera, ex quibus ducúntur istæ similitúdines, non proprietátes. Sed cum dicit, Ego sum vitis vera: ab illa se útique discérnit, cui dícitur: Quómodo convérsa es in amaritúdinem vitis aliéna? Nam quo pacto est vitis vera, quæ exspectáta est ut fáceret uvam, fecit autem spinas?
℣. Tu autem, Dómine, miserére nobis.
℟. Deo grátias.
℟. Cándidi facti sunt Nazarǽi ejus, allelúja: splendórem Deo dedérunt, allelúja:
* Et sicut lac coaguláti sunt, allelúja, allelúja.
℣. Candidióres nive, nitidióres lacte, rubicundióres ébore antíquo, sapphíro pulchrióres.
℟. Et sicut lac coaguláti sunt, allelúja, allelúja.
℣. Glória Patri, et Fílio, * et Spirítui Sancto.
℟. Et sicut lac coaguláti sunt, allelúja, allelúja.

Why 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? Jer. ii. 21. Here is He called a vine, not plainly, but in parable, as also He is called elsewhere a sheep, Isa. liii. 7, Acts viii. 32, a lamb, John i. 36, a lion, Apoc. v. 5, a rock, 1 Cor. x. 4, a corner-stone, ~Eph. ii. 20, 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? Jer. ii. 21. 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?
℣. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.
℟. Thanks be to God.
℟. Her Nazarites are become pure, Alleluia: they reflect the glory of God, Alleluia.
* They are whiter than milk. Alleluia, Alleluia.
℣. They are purer than snow, they are whiter than milk, they are more ruddy in body than coral, their polishing is of sapphire.
℟. They are whiter than milk. Alleluia, Alleluia.
℣. Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, * and to the Holy Ghost.
℟. They are whiter than milk. Alleluia, Alleluia.

Ego sum, inquit, vitis vera: et Pater meus agrícola est. Numquid unum sunt agrícola et vitis? Secúndum hoc ergo vitis Christus, secúndum quod ait: Pater major me est. Secúndum autem id, quod ait: Ego, et Pater unum sumus; et ipse agrícola est: nec talis, quales sunt, qui extrínsecus operándo éxhibent ministérium: sed talis, ut det étiam intrínsecus increméntum. Nam neque qui plantat est áliquid, neque qui rigat: sed, qui increméntum dat, Deus. Sed útique 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.
℣. Tu autem, Dómine, miserére nobis.
℟. Deo grátias.

He 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. John xiv. 28. In this sense is He the vine, and the Father is the husbandman. 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. 1 Cor. iii. 7. But Christ is God, for the Word was God. John i. 1. Therefore He and the Father are one: and, albeit the Word was made flesh, John i. 14, which, before, He was not, He ceased not to be still That Which He was.
℣. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.
℟. Thanks be to God.
Te Deum

bow head Holy, Holy, Holy * Lord God of Sabaoth;

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.

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.

Govern them, * and lift them up for ever.
