Hymnus

Ætérna Christi múnera,
Apostolórum glóriam,
Palmas et hymnos débitos
Lætis canámus méntibus.

Ecclesiárum Príncipes,
Belli triumpháles duces,
Cæléstis aulæ mílites,
Et vera mundi lúmina.

Devóta Sanctórum fides,
Invícta spes credéntium,
Perfécta Christi cáritas
Mundi tyránnum cónterit.

In his Patérna glória,
In his triúmphat Fílius,
In his volúntas Spíritus,
Cælum replétur gáudio.

Patri, simúlque Fílio,
Tibíque Sancte Spíritus,
Sicut fuit, sit iúgiter
Sæclum per omne glória.
Amen.

Th' eternal gifts of Christ the King,
The Apostles' glory, let us sing;
And all with hearts of gladness raise
Due hymns of thankful love and praise.

For they the Church's princes are,
Triumphant leaders in the war,
The heavenly King's own warrior band,
True lights to lighten every land.

Theirs was the steadfast faith of saints,
The hope that never yields nor faints,
The love of Christ in perfect glow,
That lay the prince of this world low.

In them the Father's glory shone,
In them the Spirit's will was done,
The Son himself exults in them;
Joy fills the new Jerusalem.

Praise to the Father, with the Son,
And Holy Spirit, Three in One;
As ever was in ages past,
And so shall be while ages last.
Amen.

18:6b Exsultávit ut gigas ad curréndam viam, * (7a) a summo cælo egréssio eius:
18:7b Et occúrsus eius usque ad summum eius: * nec est qui se abscóndat a calóre eius.
18:8 Lex Dómini immaculáta, convértens ánimas: * testimónium Dómini fidéle, sapiéntiam præstans párvulis.
18:9 Iustítiæ Dómini rectæ, lætificántes corda: * præcéptum Dómini lúcidum, illúminans óculos.
18:10 Timor Dómini sanctus, pérmanens in sǽculum sǽculi: * iudícia Dómini vera, iustificáta in semetípsa.

De Epístola beáti Pauli Apóstoli ad Romános

From the Epistle of the blessed Apostle Paul to the Romans

Rom 10:4-9

Heb 9:11-15

4 Finis legis, Christus, ad iustítiam omni credénti.
5 Móyses enim scripsit, quóniam iustítiam, quæ ex lege est, qui fécerit homo, vivet in ea.
6 Quæ autem ex fide est iustítia, sic dicit: Ne díxeris in corde tuo: Quis ascéndet in cælum? id est, Christum dedúcere:
7 aut, Quis descéndet in abýssum? hoc est, Christum a mórtuis revocáre.
8 Sed quid dicit Scriptúra? Prope est verbum in ore tuo, et in corde tuo: hoc est verbum fídei, quod prædicámus.
9 Quia si confiteáris in ore tuo Dóminum Iesum, et in corde tuo credíderis quod Deus illum suscitávit a mórtuis, salvus eris.

11 But Christ, standing as the High Priest of future good things, through a greater and more perfect tabernacle, one not made by hand, that is, not of this creation,
12 entered once into the Holy of Holies, having obtained eternal redemption, neither by the blood of goats, nor of calves, but by his own blood.
13 For if the blood of goats and oxen, and the ashes of a calf, when these are sprinkled, sanctify those who have been defiled, in order to cleanse the flesh,
14 how much more will the blood of Christ, who through the Holy Spirit has offered himself, immaculate, to God, cleanse our conscience from dead works, in order to serve the living God?
15 And thus he is the Mediator of the new testament, so that, by his death, he intercedes for the redemption of those transgressions which were under the former testament, so that those who have been called may receive the promise of an eternal inheritance.

℟ Cum perambuláret Dóminus iuxta mare Galilǽæ, vidit Petrum et Andréam rétia mitténtes in mare, et vocávit eos, dicens:

℟ As the Lord was walking by the Sea of Galilee, he saw Peter and Andrew casting their nets into the sea, and he called them, saying:

Veníte post me, fáciam vos fíeri piscatóres hóminum.

Come after me, and I will make you fishers of men.

℣ Erant enim piscatóres, et ait illis.

℣ For they were fishermen, and he said to them.

℟ Veníte post me, fáciam vos fíeri piscatóres hóminum.

℟ Come after me, and I will make you fishers of men.

℣ Iube, Dómine, benedícere.

℣ Grant a blessing, O Lord.

Benedictio. Unigénitus Dei Fílius nos benedícere et adiuváre dignétur.

Benedictio. May the Only Begotten Son of God be pleased to bless and assist us.

Rom 10:10-15

10 Corde enim créditur ad iustítiam: ore autem conféssio fit ad salútem.
11 Dicit enim Scriptúra: Omnis qui credit in illum, non confundétur.
12 Non enim est distínctio Iudǽi et Græci: nam idem Dóminus ómnium, dives in omnes qui ínvocant illum.
13 Omnis enim quicúmque invocáverit nomen Dómini, salvus erit.
14 Quómodo ergo invocábunt, in quem non credidérunt? aut quómodo credent ei, quem non audiérunt? quómodo autem áudient sine prædicánte?
15 Quómodo vero prædicábunt nisi mittántur? sicut scriptum est: Quam speciósi pedes evangelizántium pacem, evangelizántium bona!

10 For with the heart, we believe unto justice; but with the mouth, confession is unto salvation.
11 For Scripture says: "All those who believe in him shall not be confounded."
12 For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek. For the same Lord is over all, richly in all who call upon him.
13 For all those who have called upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.
14 Then in what way will those who have not believed in him call upon him? Or in what way will those who have not heard of him believe in him? And in what way will they hear of him without preaching?
15 And truly, in what way will they preach, unless they have been sent, just as it has been written: "How beautiful are the feet of those who evangelize peace, of those who evangelize what is good!"

℟ Mox ut vocem Dómini prædicántis audívit beátus Andréas, relíctis rétibus, quorum usu actúque vivébat,

℟ As soon as blessed Andrew heard the voice of the Lord preaching, he left his nets, by whose use and labor he lived,

Ætérnæ vitæ secútus est prǽmia largiéntem.

And followed the one who bestows the rewards of eternal life.

℣ Hic est qui pro amóre Christi pepéndit in cruce, et pro lege eius sustínuit passiónem.

℣ This is he who, for the love of Christ, hung upon the Cross, and for his law endured his Passion.

℟ Ætérnæ vitæ secútus est prǽmia largiéntem.

℟ And followed the one who bestows the rewards of eternal life.

℣ Iube, Dómine, benedícere.

℣ Grant a blessing, O Lord.

Benedictio. Ad gáudia paradísi perdúcat nos misericórdia Christi.

Benedictio. May the mercy of Christ lead us to the joys of paradise.

Rom 10:16-21

16 Sed non omnes obédiunt Evangélio. Isaías enim dicit: Dómine, quis crédidit audítui nostro?
17 Ergo fides ex audítu, audítus autem per verbum Christi.
18 Sed dico: Numquid non audiérunt? Et quidem in omnem terram exívit sonus eórum, et in fines orbis terræ verba eórum.
19 Sed dico: Numquid Israël non cognóvit? Primus Móyses dicit: Ego ad æmulatiónem vos addúcam in non gentem: in gentem insipiéntem, in iram vos mittam.
20 Isaías autem audet, et dicit: Invéntus sum a non quæréntibus me: palam appárui iis, qui me non interrogábant.
21 Ad Israël autem dicit: Tota die expándi manus meas ad pópulum non credéntem, et contradicéntem.

16 But not all are obedient to the Gospel. For Isaiah says: "Lord, who has believed our report?"
17 Therefore, faith is from hearing, and hearing is through the Word of Christ.
18 But I say: Have they not heard? For certainly: "Their sound has gone forth throughout all the earth, and their words unto the limits of the whole world."
19 But I say: Has Israel not known? First, Moses says: "I will lead you into a rivalry with those who are not a nation; in the midst of a foolish nation, I will send you into wrath."
20 And Isaiah dares to say: "I was discovered by those who were not seeking me. I appeared openly to those who were not asking about me."
21 Then to Israel he says: "All day long I have stretched out my hands to a people who do not believe and who contradict me."

Andréas Apóstolus, Bethsáidæ natus, qui est Galilǽæ vicus, frater Petri, discípulus Ioánnis Baptistæ, cum eum de Christo dicéntem audísset: Ecce Agnus Dei; secútus Iesum, fratrem quoque suum ad eúndem perdúxit. Cum póstea una cum fratre piscarétur in mari Galilǽæ, ambo a prætereúnte Christo Dómino ante álios Apóstolos vocáti illis verbis: Veníte post me, fáciam vos fíeri piscatóres hóminum; nullam interponéntes moram, et relíctis rétibus, secúti sunt eum. Post cuius passiónem et resurrectiónem, Andréas, cum in Scýthiam Európæ, quæ ei província ad Christi fidem disseminándam obtígerat, venísset, deínde Epírum ac Thráciam peragrásset; doctrína et miráculis innumerábiles hómines ad Christum convértit. Post, Patras Acháiæ proféctus, et in ea urbe plúrimis ad veritátem evangélicam perdúctis, Ægéam procónsulem, prædicatióni evangélicæ resisténtem, libérrime increpávit, quod, qui iudex hóminum habéri vellet, Christum Deum ómnium iúdicem, a dæmónibus elúsus, non agnósceret.

Andrew the Apostle, born at Bethsaida, a village of Galilee, brother of Peter, a disciple of John the Baptist, when he heard him speak of Christ, saying: "Behold the Lamb of God," followed Jesus and also led his own brother to the same Lord. Afterward, when he was fishing with his brother in the sea of Galilee, both were called before the other Apostles by Christ the Lord as he passed by, with these words: "Come after me, I will make you fishers of men"; and without any delay, leaving their nets, they followed him. After the Lord's Passion and Resurrection, Andrew, having come into Scythia of Europe — the province allotted to him for the sowing of the faith of Christ — and then having traversed Epirus and Thrace, converted innumerable men to Christ by his teaching and miracles. Going afterward to Patras in Achaia, and having led very many in that city to the evangelical truth, he freely rebuked Aegeas the proconsul, who was resisting the preaching of the Gospel, because one who wished to be considered a judge of men did not recognize Christ the Judge of all, being deceived by demons.

℟ Homo Dei ducebátur ut crucifígerent eum: pópulus autem clamábat voce magna, dicens:

℟ The man of God was being led away to be crucified: but the people cried out with a loud voice, saying:

Innocens eius sanguis sine causa damnátur.

His innocent blood is condemned without cause.

℣ Cumque dúcerent eum ut crucifigerétur, factus est concúrsus populórum clamántium et dicéntium.

℣ And as they led him away to be crucified, there arose a gathering of peoples crying out and saying.

℟ Innocens eius sanguis sine causa damnátur.

℟ His innocent blood is condemned without cause.

℣ Iube, Dómine, benedícere.

℣ Grant a blessing, O Lord.

Benedictio. Christus perpétuæ det nobis gáudia vitæ.

Benedictio. May Christ grant us the joys of eternal life.

Reading 5

Tum Ægéas irátus, Désine, inquit, Christum iactáre, cui simília verba nihil profuérunt, quóminus a Iudǽis crucifigerétur. Andréam vero de Christo nihilóminus líbere prædicántem quod pro salúte humáni géneris se crucifigéndum obtulísset, ímpia oratióne interpéllat, ac demum hortátur, ut sibi cónsulens, diis velit immoláre. Cui Andréas: Ego omnipoténti Deo, qui unus et verus est, ímmolo cotídie, non taurórum carnes, nec hircórum sánguinem, sed immaculátum Agnum in altári; cuius carnem posteáquam omnis pópulus credéntium manducáverit, Agnus, qui sacrificátus est, ínteger persevérat et vivus. Quam ob rem ira accénsus Ægéas, iubet eum in cárcerem detrúdi unde pópulus Andréam fácile liberásset, nisi ipse sedásset multitúdinem, veheméntius rogans, ne se ad optatíssimam martýrii corónam properántem impedírent.

Then the enraged Aegeas said: Cease boasting of Christ, to whom similar words brought no profit, so that he was not crucified by the Jews. But as Andrew continued to preach freely about Christ — that he had offered himself to be crucified for the salvation of the human race — Aegeas interrupted him with impious speech and finally urged him, for his own good, to sacrifice to the gods. To whom Andrew replied: I daily sacrifice to almighty God, who is one and true, not the flesh of bulls nor the blood of goats, but the immaculate Lamb upon the altar; whose flesh, after all the people of believers have eaten, the Lamb who was sacrificed remains whole and living. Whereupon, inflamed with anger, Aegeas ordered him to be thrown into prison, whence the people would have readily freed Andrew, had he not himself calmed the multitude, earnestly begging them not to hinder him as he hastened toward the most longed-for crown of martyrdom.

℟ O bona crux, quæ decórem et pulchritúdinem de membris Dómini suscepísti; áccipe me ab homínibus, et redde me magístro meo:

℟ O good Cross, which received beauty and comeliness from the limbs of the Lord; receive me from among men, and restore me to my Master:

Ut per te me recípiat, qui per te me redémit.

That through you he may receive me, who through you redeemed me.

℣ Beátus Andréas expánsis mánibus ad cælum orábat, dicens: Salva me, bona crux.

℣ Blessed Andrew, with hands outstretched toward heaven, prayed, saying: Save me, O good Cross.

℟ Ut per te me recípiat, qui per te me redémit.

℟ That through you he may receive me, who through you redeemed me.

℣ Iube, Dómine, benedícere.

Igitur paulo post in tribúnal prodúctum, cum Ægéas crucis extolléntem mystéria sibíque suam impietátem exprobrántem diútius ferre non posset, in crucem tolli, et Christi mortem imitári iussit. Addúctus Andréas ad locum martýrii, cum crucem vidísset, longe exclamáre cœpit: O bona crux, quæ decórem ex membris Dómini suscepísti, diu desideráta, sollícite amáta, sine intermissióne quæsíta, et aliquándo cupiénti ánimo præparáta: áccipe me ab homínibus, et redde me magístro meo; ut per te me recípiat, qui per te me redémit. Itaque cruci affíxus est: in qua bíduum vivus pendens, et Christi fidem prædicáre nunquam intermíttens, ad eum migrávit, cuius mortis similitúdinem concupíerat. Quæ ómnia presbýteri et diáconi Acháiæ, qui eius passiónem scripsérunt, se ita ut commemoráta sunt, audísse et vidísse testántur. Eius ossa primum Constantíno imperatóre Constantinópolim, deínde Amálphim transláta sunt. Caput, Pio secúndo Pontífice, Romam allátum, in basílica sancti Petri collocátum est.

Therefore, shortly after being brought to the tribunal, since Aegeas could no longer endure Andrew proclaiming the mysteries of the Cross and reproaching him for his own impiety, he ordered him to be raised on a cross and to imitate the death of Christ. Andrew, led to the place of martyrdom, when he had seen the cross, began to cry out from afar: O good cross, that received beauty from the members of the Lord, long desired, earnestly loved, sought without ceasing, and at last made ready for a longing soul — take me from among men and restore me to my Master, so that through you he who redeemed me through you may receive me back. And so he was fixed to the cross, on which hanging alive for two days and never ceasing to preach the faith of Christ, he passed to him whose death he had yearned to imitate. All this the priests and deacons of Achaia who recorded his Passion attest they heard and saw as it has been related. His bones were first translated to Constantinople under the Emperor Constantine, then to Amalfi. His head, under Pope Pius II, was brought to Rome and placed in the basilica of Saint Peter.

℟ Expándi manus meas tota die in cruce ad pópulum non credéntem, sed contradicéntem mihi:

℟ I stretched out my hands all day on the Cross to a people who did not believe, but who contradicted me:

Qui ámbulant vias non bonas, sed post peccáta sua.

Who walk ways that are not good, but after their own sins.

℣ Deus ultiónum Dóminus, Deus ultiónum líbere egit: exaltáre, qui iúdicas terram; redde retributiónem supérbis.

℣ The Lord is a God of vengeance, the God of vengeance has acted freely: be exalted, you who judge the earth; render retribution to the proud.

℟ Qui ámbulant vias non bonas, sed post peccáta sua.

℟ Who walk ways that are not good, but after their own sins.

℣ Glória Patri, et Fílio, * et Spirítui Sancto.

74:3 We will declare your wonders: * when I have received the time, I will judge justices.
74:4 The earth has been dissolved, with all who dwell in it: * I have confirmed its pillars.
74:5 I said to the iniquitous: Do not act unjustly: * and to the offenders: Do not exalt the horn:
74:6 Do not exalt your horn on high: * do not speak iniquity against God.
74:7 For it is neither from the east, nor from the west, nor from the desert mountains: * for God is judge.
74:8 This one he humbles, and that one he exalts: * for in the hand of the Lord there is a cup of undiluted wine, full of consternation.

74:10 But I will announce it in every age: * I will sing to the God of Jacob.

Léctio sancti Evangélii secúndum Matthǽum

A Reading from the holy Gospel according to Matthew

Matt 4:18-22

In illo témpore: Ambulans Iesus iuxta mare Galilǽæ, vidit duos fratres, Simónem, qui vocátur Petrus, et Andréam fratrem eius, mitténtes rete in mare. Et réliqua.

Homilía sancti Gregórii Papæ

At that time: And Jesus, walking near the Sea of Galilee, saw two brothers, Simon who is called Peter, and his brother Andrew, casting a net into the sea. And so forth.

A Homily of Saint Gregory the Pope

Homilia 5 in Evangelia

Audístis, fratres caríssimi, quia ad uníus iussiónis vocem Petrus et Andréas relíctis rétibus secúti sunt Redemptórem. Nulla vero hunc fácere adhuc mirácula víderant, nihil ab eo de prǽmio ætérnæ retributiónis audíerant: et tamen ad unum Dómini præcéptum hoc quod possidére videbántur, oblíti sunt. Quanta nos eius mirácula vidémus, quot flagéllis afflígimur, quantis minárum asperitátibus deterrémur, et tamen vocántem sequi contémnimus.

You have heard, dearest brethren, how Peter and Andrew, at the sound of a single command, left their nets and followed the Redeemer. They had not yet seen him work any miracle; they had not yet heard anything from him about the reward of eternal recompense: and yet, at one command of the Lord, they forgot what they seemed to possess. How great are the miracles we behold, by how many scourges we are afflicted, by how many harshnesses of threats we are deterred, and yet we disdain to follow him when he calls.

℟ Orávit sanctus Andréas, dum respíceret in cælum, et voce magna clamávit et dixit: Tu es Deus meus, quem vidi: ne me patiáris ab ímpio iúdice depóni:

℟ Saint Andrew prayed, looking up to heaven, and cried out with a loud voice and said: You are my God, whom I have seen; do not allow me to be cast down by an impious judge:

Quia virtútem sanctæ crucis agnóvi.

for I have known the power of the holy Cross.

℣ Tu es magíster meus Christus, quem diléxi, quem cognóvi, quem conféssus sum: tantúmmodo in ista voce exáudi me.

℣ You are my master, Christ, whom I have loved, whom I have known, whom I have confessed: only in this voice hear me.

℟ Quia virtútem sanctæ crucis agnóvi.

℟ for I have known the power of the holy Cross.

℣ Iube, Dómine, benedícere.

℣ Grant a blessing, O Lord.

Benedictio. Divínum auxílium máneat semper nobíscum.

Benedictio. May the divine assistance remain always with us.

In cælo iam sedet, qui de conversióne nos ádmonet; iam iugo fídei colla géntium súbdidit, iam mundi glóriam stravit, iam ruínis eius crebrescéntibus, distrícti sui iudícii diem propinquántem denúntiat: et tamen supérba mens nostra adhuc non vult hoc sponte desérere, quod cotídie perdit invíta. Quid ergo, fratres caríssimi, quid in eius iudício dictúri sumus, qui ab amóre præséntis sǽculi nec præcéptis fléctimur, nec verbéribus emendámur?

He who admonishes us of conversion now sits in heaven; he has already submitted the necks of the nations to the yoke of faith, has already laid low the glory of the world, and now, as its ruins multiply, he announces that the day of his strict judgment is drawing near: and yet our proud mind is still unwilling willingly to abandon that which it daily loses against its will. What then, dearest brethren, what shall we say at his judgment — we who are moved neither by precepts nor corrected by blows to withdraw from love of the present age?

℟ Videns crucem Andréas exclamávit, dicens: O crux admirábilis, o crux desiderábilis, o crux quæ per totum mundum rútilas:

℟ Seeing the cross, Andrew cried out, saying: O admirable cross, O desirable cross, O cross that shines throughout the whole world: *

Súscipe discípulum Christi, ac per te me recípiat, qui per te móriens me redémit.

Receive the disciple of Christ, and through you may he who died upon you to redeem me receive me.

℣ O bona crux, quæ decórem et pulchritúdinem de membris Dómini suscepísti.

℣ O good cross, which received the beauty and comeliness of the members of the Lord.

℟ Súscipe discípulum Christi, ac per te me recípiat, qui per te móriens me redémit.

℟ Receive the disciple of Christ, and through you may he who died upon you to redeem me receive me.

℣ Glória Patri, et Fílio, * et Spirítui Sancto.

℣ Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, * and to the Holy Spirit.

℟ Sicut erat in princípio, et nunc, et semper, * et in sǽcula sæculórum. Amen.

℟ As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, * world without end. Amen.

℟ Súscipe discípulum Christi, ac per te me recípiat, qui per te móriens me redémit.

℟ Receive the disciple of Christ, and through you may he who died upon you to redeem me receive me.

℣ Iube, Dómine, benedícere.

℣ Grant a blessing, O Lord.

Benedictio. Ad societátem cívium supernórum perdúcat nos Rex Angelórum.

Benedictio. May the King of Angels lead us to the company of the citizens on high.

Sed fortásse áliquis tácitis sibi cogitatiónibus dicat: Ad vocem Domínicam utérque iste piscátor quid, aut quantum dimísit, qui pene nihil hábuit? Sed hac in re, fratres caríssimi, afféctum debémus pótius pensáre quam censum. Multum relíquit, qui sibi nihil retínuit: multum relíquit, qui quantúmlibet parum, totum deséruit. Certe nos et hábita cum amóre possidémus, et ea, quæ mínime habémus, ex desidério quǽrimus. Multum ergo Petrus et Andréas dimísit, quando utérque étiam desidéria habéndi derelíquit.

But perhaps someone may say to himself in silent thoughts: What, or how much, did either of these fishermen leave at the Lord's word, who had scarcely anything at all? But in this matter, dearest brethren, we ought to weigh the affection rather than the wealth. He leaves much who retains nothing for himself; he leaves much who, however little it may be, forsakes everything. Certainly we both possess what we have with desire, and what we do not have we seek with longing. Much, therefore, did Peter and Andrew leave, since each of them also forsook even the desire of possessing.

℟ Ecce dies véniunt, dicit Dóminus, et suscitábo David germen iustum: et regnábit rex, et sápiens erit, et fáciet iudícium et iustítiam in terra:

℟ Behold, the days are approaching, says the Lord, and I will raise up to David a righteous branch; and a king shall reign and be wise, and shall do judgment and justice in the land:

Et hoc est nomen quod vocábunt eum: * Dóminus iustus noster.

And this is the name they will call him: * The Lord, our Just One.

℣ In diébus illis salvábitur Iuda, et Israël habitábit confidénter.

℣ In those days Judah shall be saved, and Israel shall dwell in confidence.

℟ Et hoc est nomen quod vocábunt eum:

℟ And this is the name they will call him:

℣ Glória Patri, et Fílio, * et Spirítui Sancto.

℣ Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, * and to the Holy Spirit.

℟ Sicut erat in princípio, et nunc, et semper, * et in sǽcula sæculórum. Amen.

℟ As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, * world without end. Amen.

℟ Dóminus iustus noster.

℟ The Lord, our Just One.
