Start
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.
℣. O Lord, +︎ open thou my lips.
℟. And my mouth shall declare thy praise.
℣. O God, ✠ come to my assistance;

María castis ósculis
Lambit Dei vestígia,
Fletu rigat, tergit comis,

Amen.

Hymn {from the Proper of Saints}
His sacred feet with tears of agony
She bathes; and prostrate on the ground adores;
Steeps them in kisses chaste, and wipes them dry
With her own hair; then forth her precious ointment pours.
Praise in the highest to the Father be;
Praise to the mighty co-eternal Son;
And praise, O Spirit Paraclete, to thee,
While ages evermore of endless ages run.
Amen.

Homilia 25 in Evangelia
María Magdaléne, quæ fúerat in civitáte peccátrix, amándo veritátem, lavit lácrimis máculas críminis: et vox Veritátis implétur, qua dícitur: Dimíssa sunt ei peccáta multa, quia diléxit multum. Quæ enim prius frígida peccándo remánserat, póstmodum amándo fórtiter ardébat. Quæ a monuménto Dómini, étiam discípulis recedéntibus, non recedébat. Exquirébat quem non invénerat; flebat inquiréndo, et amóris sui igne succénsa, ejus, quem ablátum crédidit, ardébat desidério. Unde cóntigit, ut eum sola tunc vidéret, quæ remánserat ut quǽreret: quia nimírum virtus boni óperis perseverántia est.
℣. Tu autem, Dómine, miserére nobis.
℟. Deo grátias.
℟. Propter veritátem, et mansuetúdinem, et justítiam:

Reading 4
From the Sermons of Pope St. Gregory the Great.
25th on the Gospels.
Mary Magdalen, a woman in the city, which was a sinner, through love of the truth, washed away in her tears the defilement of her sins, and the words of the Truth are fulfilled which He spake Her sins, which are many, are forgiven; for she loved much. She who had remained chilly in sin, became fiery through love. When even His disciples went away again unto their own home, Mary still stood without at the sepulchre of Christ, weeping. She sought Him Whom her soul loved, but she found Him not. She searched for Him with tears; she yearned with strong desire for Him Who, she believed, had been taken away. And thus it befell her, that being the only one who had remained to seek Him, she was the only one that saw Him. It is the truth that the backbone of a good work is perseverance.
℣. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.
℟. Thanks be to God.
℟. Because of truth, and meekness, and righteousness;
* And thy right hand shall lead thee wonderfully.
℣. In thy comeliness, and thy beauty, go forward, fare prosperously, and reign.
℟. And thy right hand shall lead thee wonderfully.

Quæsívit ergo prius, et mínime invénit: perseverávit ut quæreret, unde et cóntigit ut inveníret: actúmque est, ut desidéria diláta créscerent, et crescéntia cáperent quod inveníssent. Hinc est enim quod de eódem sponsa Ecclésia in Cánticis canticórum dicit: In léctulo meo per noctes quæsívi quem díligit ánima mea. Diléctum namque in léctulo quærimus, quando, in præséntis vitæ aliquántula réquie. Redemptóris nostri desidério suspirámus. Per noctem quærimus: quia, etsi jam in illo mens vígilat, tamen adhuc óculus calígat.
℣. Tu autem, Dómine, miserére nobis.
℟. Deo grátias.
℟. Dilexísti justítiam, et odísti iniquitátem:

Reading 5
At first when she sought Him, she found Him not; she went on searching, and so it came to pass that she found Him; and this was so, to the end that her longing might grow in earnestness, and so in its earnestness might find what it sought. Hence is it that the Bride in the Song of Songs saith as representing the Church: By night on my bed I sought him whom my soul loveth. We seek on our bed for Him Whom our soul loveth, when, having got some little rest in this world, we still sigh for the Presence of our Redeemer but it is by night that we so seek Him, for though our mind may be on the alert for Him, yet still He is hidden from our eyes by the darkness that now is.
℣. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.
℟. Thanks be to God.
℟. Thou hast loved righteousness, and hated iniquity;
* Therefore God, thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness.

Sed, qui diléctum suum non invénit, restat ut surgat, civitátem circúmeat, id est, sanctam electórum Ecclésiam mente et inquisitióne percúrrat; per vicos eum et platéas quærat, id est, per angústa et lata gradiéntes aspíciat, ut, si qua inveníre in eis váleat, ejus vestígia exquírat: quia sunt nonnúlli étiam vitæ sæculáris, qui imitándum áliquid hábeant de actióne virtútis. Quæréntes autem nos vígiles invéniunt, qui custódiunt civitátem: quia sancti Patres, qui Ecclésiæ statum custódiunt, bonis nostris stúdiis occúrrunt, ut suo vel verbo vel scripto nos dóceant. Quos cum páululum pertransímus, invenímus quem dilígimus: quia Redémptor noster, etsi humilitáte homo inter hómines, divinitáte tamen super hómines fuit.
℣. Tu autem, Dómine, miserére nobis.
℟. Deo grátias.

Reading 6
But if we find not Him Whom our soul loveth, it remaineth that we should rise and go about the city, that is, by thought and questioning, go through the holy Church of the elect seek Him in the streets, and in the broad ways, that is, walk anxiously looking about us both in the narrow and the broad places, that if we can, we may find His footsteps there for there are some even of those who live for the world, from whom something may be learnt to be imitated by a godly man. As we thus go wakefully about, the watchmen, that keep the city, find us; the holy Fathers, who are the watchmen of the bulwarks of the Church, come to meet our good endeavours, and to teach us either by their words or by their writings. And it needeth but a little to pass from them, but we find Him Whom our soul loveth (a little we must pass,) for albeit our Redeemer in lowliness became a man among men, yet by right of His Divine Nature He is still above men.
℣. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.
℟. Thanks be to God.
℟. Favour is deceitful, and beauty is vain
* A woman that feareth God she shall be praised.

Léctio sancti Evangélii secúndum Lucam
Luc 7:36-50
In illo témpore: Rogábat Jesum quidam de pharisǽis, ut manducáret cum illo. Et ingréssus domum pharisǽi discúbuit. Et réliqua.
Homilía sancti Augustíni Epíscopi
Liber 50 Homilía 23, tom. 10
Evangélium cum legerétur, attentíssime audístis; et res gesta narráta atque versáta est ante óculos cordis vestri. Vidístis enim, non carne, sed mente, Dóminum Jesum Christum in domo pharisǽi recumbéntem, et ab illo invitátum non fastidiéntem. Vidístis étiam in civitáte mulíerem famósam, mala útique fama, quæ erat peccátrix, non invitátam irruísse convívio ubi suus médicus recumbébat, et quæsísse pia impudéntia sanitátem; írruens, quasi importúna convívio, opportúna benefício. Nóverat enim quanto morbo laboráret; et illum ad sanándum esse idóneum, ad quem vénerat, sciébat.
℣. Tu autem, Dómine, miserére nobis.
℟. Deo grátias.
℟. Os suum apéruit sapiéntiæ, et lex cleméntiæ in lingua ejus: considerávit sémitas domus suæ,
* Et panem otiósa non comédit.
℣. Gustávit et vidit quia bona est negotiátio ejus: non exstinguétur in nocte lucérna ejus.
℟. Et panem otiósa non comédit.

From the Holy Gospel according to Luke
Luke 7:36-50
At that time One of the Pharisees desired Jesus that He would eat with him. And He went into the Pharisee's house, and sat down to meat. And so on.
Homily by St. Augustine, Bishop of Hippo.
Bk. 1. Hom. 23, tom. x.
Ye have listened carefully to the Gospel while it was being read, so that the thing told hath, as it were, passed before the eyes of your heart. Ye have seen in your mind's eye, albeit not with bodily sight, the Lord Jesus Christ sitting down to meat in the Pharisee's house, and not refusing when He is bidden of him. Ye have seen also an infamous woman of the city, one of utterly bad character, a sinner, thrusting herself in an uninvited guest, to the banquet where her Healer was sitting, and seeking health at His hands with godly shamelessness; thrusting herself in eager for mercy, as though eager for the feast. She knew under what a disease she laboured, and she knew that He unto Whom she came was mighty to cure it.
℣. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.
℟. Thanks be to God.
℟. She openeth her mouth with wisdom, and in her tongue is the law of kindness. She looketh well to the ways of her household
* And eateth not the bread of idleness.
℣. She tasteth and perceiveth that her merchandise is good. Her candle goeth not out by night.
℟. And she eateth not the bread of idleness.

℣. Jube, domne, benedícere.
Benedictio. Cujus festum cólimus, ipsa intercédat pro nobis ad Dóminum. Amen.
Lectio 8
Accéssit ergo non ad caput Dómini, sed ad pedes. Et quæ diu male ambuláverat, vestígia recta quærébat. Prius fudit lácrimas cordis, et lavit Dómini pedes obséquio confessiónis, capíllis suis tersit, osculáta est, unxit; tácita loquebátur, non sermónem promébat, sed devotiónem ostendébat. Quia ergo tétigit Dóminum rigándo, osculándo, tergéndo, unguéndo pedes ejus; pharisæus, qui invitáverat Dóminum Jesum Christum, quia ex illo génere erat hóminum superbórum, de quibus Isaías prophéta dicit: Qui dicunt, Recéde longe a me, noli me tángere, quóniam mundus sum; putávit Dóminum nescísse mulíerem.
℣. Tu autem, Dómine, miserére nobis.
℟. Deo grátias.
℟. Regnum mundi et omnem ornátum sǽculi contémpsi, propter amórem Dómini mei Jesu Christi:
* Quem vidi, quem amávi, in quem crédidi, quem diléxi.
℣. Eructávit cor meum verbum bonum: dico ego ópera mea Regi.
℟. Quem vidi, quem amávi, in quem crédidi, quem diléxi.

Benediction. She whose feast-day we are keeping, be our Advocate with God. Amen
Reading 8
She drew near therefore, not unto the Lord's Head, but unto His Feet. She that had so long walked the paths of sin betook her unto the Feet that went about doing good. She first poured forth heart-felt tears, and washed the Lord's Feet with the humble service of her acknowledgment, wiped them with her hair, kissed them, and anointed them. Her silence cried aloud, next in words but in manifested love. The Pharisee, who had desired the Lord Jesus Christ that He would eat with him, belonged to that class of proud men concerning whom the Prophet Isaiah saith people which say, Stand by thyself, come not near to me; for I am holier than thou. lxv. 5. When therefore he saw how this woman touched the Lord's Feet with her tears, her kisses, her hair, and her ointment, he spake within himself, saying This Man, if He were a Prophet, would have known who and what manner of woman this is, that toucheth Him; for she is a sinner.
℣. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.
℟. Thanks be to God.
℟. The kingdom of this world and all the beauty of life I have esteemed as nothing, for the excellency of the love of Jesus Christ my Lord
* Whom, having seen, I loved Whom, having believed, I longed after.
℣. My heart is overflowing with a good matter I speak of my works unto the King.
℟. Whom, having seen, I loved Whom, having believed, I longed after.
℣. Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, * and to the Holy Ghost.
℟. Whom, having seen, I loved Whom, having believed, I longed after.

O pharisǽe invitátor et irrísor Dómini, Dóminum pascis, et a quo pascéndus sis, non intélligis? Unde scis Dóminum nescísse, quæ fúerit illa múlier, nisi quia permíssa est accédere, nisi quia, illo patiénte, osculáta est pedes ejus, nisi quia tersit, nisi quia unxit? Hæc enim non débuit permítti fácere in pédibus mundis múlier immúnda? Ad illíus ergo pharisæi pedes si talis múlier accessísset, dictúrus erat, quod Isaías de tálibus dicit: Recéde a me, noli me tángere, quóniam mundus sum. Accéssit autem ad Dóminum immúnda, ut redíret munda; accéssit ægra, ut redíret sana; accéssit conféssa, ut redíret proféssa.
℣. Tu autem, Dómine, miserére nobis.
℟. Deo grátias.

Pharisee, that biddest and scornest the Lord! Thou invitest the Lord to meat, and thou knowest not Him That should have given thee to eat! Whence knowest thou that the Lord knoweth not who and what manner of woman this is, save from this, that she is allowed to draw near unto Him, and that He suffereth her to kiss His Feet, to wipe them, and to anoint them? Ought not an unclean woman to have been permitted to do these things to clean feet? If such a woman had drawn near to the feet of this Pharisee, he would have said to her what Isaiah putteth into the mouth of such Stand by thyself, come not near to me, for I am holier than thou. But she came unto the Lord unclean that she might go away cleansed, sick, that she might go away healed, with confession, that she might go away with thanksgiving.
℣. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.
℟. 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.
