Pater noster, qui es in cælis, sanctificétur nomen tuum: advéniat regnum tuum: fiat volúntas tua, sicut in cælo et in terra.

Ave María, grátia plena; Dóminus tecum: benedícta tu in muliéribus, et benedíctus fructus ventris tui Jesus. Sancta María, Mater Dei, ora pro nobis peccatóribus, nunc et in hora mortis nostræ. Amen.
Credo in Deum, Patrem omnipoténtem, Creatórem cæli et terræ. Et in Jesum Christum, Fílium ejus únicum, Dóminum nostrum: qui concéptus est de Spíritu Sancto, natus ex María Vírgine,
passus sub Póntio Piláto, crucifíxus, mórtuus, et sepúltus: descéndit ad ínferos; tértia die resurréxit a mórtuis; ascéndit ad cælos; sedet ad déxteram Dei Patris omnipoténtis: inde ventúrus est judicáre vivos et mórtuos. Credo in Spíritum Sanctum, sanctam Ecclésiam cathólicam,
Sanctórum communiónem, remissiónem peccatórum, carnis resurrectiónem, vitam ætérnam. Amen.

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.

Hymnus {ex Proprio Sanctorum}
Athléta Christi nóbilis
Idóla damnat géntium,
Deíque amóre sáucius
Vitæ perícla déspicit.
Loris revínctus ásperis,
E rupe præceps vólvitur:
Spinéta vultum láncinant;
Per saxa corpus scínditur.
Dum membra raptant Mártyris,
Languent siti satéllites;
Signo crucis Venántius
E rupe fontes élicit.
Bellátor o fortíssime,
Qui pérfidis tortóribus
E caute præbes póculum,
Nos rore grátiæ írriga.
Sit laus Patri, sit Fílio,
Tibíque, Sancte Spíritus:
Da per preces Venántii
Beáta nobis gáudia.
Amen.

Hymn {from the Proper of Saints}
Noble champion of the Lord!
Armed against idolatry!
In thy fervent zeal for God
Death had naught of fear for thee.
Bound with thongs, thy youthful form
Down the rugged steep they tear,
Jagged rock and rending thorn
All thy tender flesh lay bare.
Spent with toil, the savage crew,
Fainting, sinks with deadly thirst;
Thou the cross dost sign; and lo!
From the rock the waters burst.
Saintly warrior-prince! who thus
thy tormentors couldst forgive;
Pour the dew of grace on us,
Bid our fainting spirits live.
To thee, O Father, with the Son
And Holy Spirit, glory be;
Oh, grant us through thy martyr's prayer
The joys of immortality.
Amen.

3 John 1:5-10
5 Dearly beloved, thou dost faithfully whatever thou dost for the brethren, and that for strangers,
6 Who have given testimony to thy charity in the sight of the church: whom thou shalt do well to bring forward on their way in a manner worthy of God.
7 Because, for his name they went out, taking nothing of the Gentiles.
8 We therefore ought to receive such, that we may be fellow helpers of the truth.
9 I had written perhaps to the church: but Diotrephes, who loveth to have the pre-eminence among them, doth not receive us.
10 For this cause, if I come, I will advertise his works which he doth, with malicious words prating against us. And as if these things were not enough for him, neither doth he himself receive the brethren, and them that do receive them he forbiddeth, and casteth out of the church.
℣. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.

5:6 Neither shall the wicked dwell near thee: * nor shall the unjust abide before thy eyes.
5:7 Thou hatest all the workers of iniquity: * thou wilt destroy all that speak a lie.
5:7 The bloody and the deceitful man the Lord will abhor. * But as for me in the multitude of thy mercy,
5:8 I will come into thy house; * I will worship towards thy holy temple, in thy fear.
5:9 Conduct me, O Lord, in thy justice: * because of my enemies, direct my way in thy sight.
5:10 For there is no truth in their mouth: * their heart is vain.
5:11 Their throat is an open sepulchre: they dealt deceitfully with their tongues: * judge them, O God.
5:11 Let them fall from their devices: according to the multitude of their wickednesses cast them out: * for they have provoked thee, O Lord.
5:12 But let all them be glad that hope in thee: * they shall rejoice for ever, and thou shalt dwell in them.
5:12 And all they that love thy name shall glory in thee: * For thou wilt bless the just.

Venantius Camers, quindecim annos natus, cum christianæ religiónis accusarétur apud Antíochum, qui sub Decio imperatóre Camerino præerat, in porta civitátis præsidi se obtulit. Quem ille pollicitatiónibus ac terróribus diu tentátum, flagris cædi et vinculis astringi jussit; sed is mirabíliter ab Angelo solutus, lampadibus póstea aduritur, atque inverso ore, fumo supposito, suspénditur. Ejus constantiam in tormentis demirátus Anastasius Cornicularius, et quod eum ab Angelo íterum solutum cándida veste supra fumum ambulántem vidísset, in Christum credidit; et a beato Porphyrio presbytero cum família baptizatus, paulo post martyrii palmam cum eodem promeruit.

Reading 4
Venantius was a lad of Camerino (in the neighbourhood of Ancona,) who at fifteen years of age was accused of Christianity before Antiochus, Praefect of Camerino under the Emperor Decius. Venantius therefore appeared before Antiochus at the gate of the city, and when the Praefect had striven with him for a long while, by promises and threats, he commanded him to be scourged and thrown into irons, but an Angel loosed his bonds. He was afterwards scarified with lamps, and hung head downwards in smoke. Anastasius the trumpeter was amazed at his hardiness under suffering, and when it appeared to him that the Martyr was a second time loosed by an Angel, and was walking in white raiment on the smoke, he believed in Christ, and was baptized, with all his house, by the blessed Priest Porphyry, and a little while after they both together earned the palm of martyrdom.

At Venantius præsidi sistitur, et ab eo íterum frustra tentátus ut Christi fidem deséreret, in carcerem conjícitur; quo Attalus præco mittitur, qui ei dicat se quoque christianum fuísse et ei nómini proptérea renuntiásse, quod cognovísset inane esse fidei comméntum, quo Christiáni præséntibus se ábdicant ob vanam futurórum spem. Verum nobilis Christi athleta, callidi hostis insidias non ignorans, diaboli ministrum a se pénitus rejécit. Quare ad præsidem íterum adducto omnes contusi sunt dentes maxillæque confractæ; atque, ita cæsus, in sterquilinium dejícitur. Sed inde ab Angelo quoque ereptus, rursus stetit ante judicem; qui, Venantio adhuc loquente, e tribunali cécidit, et in ea voce, Verus est Venantii Deus, nostros deos destrúite, exclámans exspirávit.

Now Venantius stood before the Praefect, and when he had again vainly tempted him to give up his faith in Christ, he cast him into prison, and sent unto him Attalus the crier. Attalus told him how that he also had been a Christian, but had denied that name, seeing it was a foolish faith which made Christians to throw away things present for a groundless hope of things to come. But Christ's brave champion, well knowing the wiles of our subtle enemy, drove the devil's servant from his presence. When he appeared again before the Praefect, his teeth and jaws were broken, and so mangled he was cast out upon a dunghill. But thence also an Angel delivered him, and he stood again before the judge. And there while Venantius was yet speaking, the judge fell from off the judgment-seat, and when he had cried with a loud voice, "Venantius, his God is true, take away our gods," he died.

Quod cum præsidi nuntiátum esset, extemplo Venántium leónibus óbjici jussit; qui, naturali feritáte omissa, ad ejus se pedes abjecérunt. Interim ille pópulum Christi fidem édocebat. Quare inde amotus, íterum in carcerem traditur. Cumque postridie præsidi referret Porphyrius, se per visum noctu pópulos, quos Venantius aqua tingebat, claríssima luce fulgéntes, ipsum vero præsidem obscuríssima caligine operátum vidisse; præses, ira incénsus, eum illico cápite plecti imperat, deínde Venántium per loca vépribus et cárduis cónsita trahi usque ad vésperam. Is, cum semiánimis relíctus esset, mane se íterum præsidi præsentávit; cujus jussu statim e rupe præcipitátur.

Eo miraculo plures permoti in Christum credidérunt, quos omnes præses eo loci una cum Venantio cápite feriri jussit. Fulgura et terræmotus eo témpore ita magni fuére, ut præses aufugeret; qui paucis tamen post diébus, divinam haud valens effugere justítiam, turpíssimam mortem oppétiit.

Then they told the President of it, he commanded Venantius to be straightway thrown to the lions. But the beasts were not wild to him, and lay down at his feet. And meanwhile he taught the Christian faith to the people. So they took him away from thence and cast him once more into prison. The next day Porphyry came to the President, and told him how that he had seen in a vision of the night Venantius sprinkling certain ones with water, and they that were sprinkled shone with a marvellous light, and the President himself hidden in deep darkness. Then the President was moved to great anger and commanded forthwith to behead Porphyry. As for Venantius, he bade them drag him about in rough places, full of briars and thistles, until the evening. When it was over, he was left half dead, but in the morning he stood for the last time before the President, who commanded to cast him down from a steep rock. It pleased God that this should not kill him, and he was haled again through rough places for about a mile. There the soldiers were athirst, and Venantius, by the sign of the Cross, made waters to flow from a stone in a gulley hard by. This is that stone whereon also he left the imprint of his knees, and which can be seen to this day in his Church. By this wonder many were moved to believe in Christ and the President commanded them all, and Venantius with them, to be beheaded in the same place where they were. When it was done there were great lightnings and earthquakes, so that the President fled, but he could not fly from the judgment of God, and but a few days thereafter he died a most shameful death. Meanwhile the Christians took the bodies of Venantius and the others, and buried them in an honourable place, wherein they lie to this day, under the Church at Camerino which is dedicated to Venantius.

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.

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.

℣. Jube, domne, benedícere.
Benedictio. Per evangélica dicta, deleántur nostra delícta. Amen.

Commemoration of the day
From the Holy Gospel according to John
John 15:26-27; 16:1-4
At that time, Jesus said unto His disciples: When the Comforter is come, whom I will send unto you from the Father, even the Spirit of truth, Which proceedeth from the Father, He shall testify of Me. And so on.
Homily by St. Augustine, Bishop of Hippo.
92nd Tract on John.
Upon the day of Pentecost the Holy Ghost came down upon a congregation of an hundred and twenty men, among whom were all the Apostles. These men, after they had been filled with the Spirit, began to speak with the tongues of all nations, and many of the bystanders, amazed at the marvel, when they saw in the discourse of Peter, how great and how Divine a witness was borne to the fact that the Christ, Whom they had murdered, and Whom they reckoned among the dead, had risen again and was alive, many of these bystanders were pricked in their heart Acts ii. 37 and were converted. They received pardon from that noble Blood, Which they had so sacrilegiously and so brutally shed, seeing that that Blood had redeemed even Its Own out-pourers.
℣. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.
℟. Thanks be to God.

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.
