Protect Your Church by Your abiding mercy, we beseech You, O Lord, and since all mortals fall without You, may Your help keep them from danger and guide them to salvation.
Through our Lord…
Custódi, Dómine, quǽsumus, Ecclésiam tuam propitiatióne perpétua: et quia sine te lábitur humána mortálitas; tuis semper auxíliis et abstrahátur a nóxiis et ad salutária dirigátur.

Commemoration Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary
Bestow upon Your servants, we beseech You, O Lord, the gift of heavenly grace, that, as the child-bearing of the Blessed Virgin stood for the beginning of our salvation, so may the solemn feast of her Nativity bring about an increase of peace.
Through our Lord…
Commemoratio Nativitate Beatæ Mariæ Virginis
Fámulis tuis, quǽsumus, Dómine, cœléstis grátiæ munus impertíre: ut, quibus beátæ Vírginis partus éxstitit salútis exórdium; Nativitátis ejus votíva sollémnitas pacis tríbuat increméntum.

Lesson from the letter of St. Paul the Apostle to the Galatians
Gal 5:16-24
Brethren: Walk in the Spirit, and you will not fulfill the lusts of the flesh. For the flesh lusts against the spirit, and the spirit against the flesh; for these are opposed to each other, so that you do not do what you would. But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the Law. Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are immorality, uncleanness, licentiousness, idolatry, witchcrafts, enmities, contentions, jealousies, anger, quarrels, factions, parties, envies, murders, drunkenness, carousings, and suchlike. And concerning these I warn you, as I have warned you, that they who do such things will not attain the kingdom of God. But of the fruit of the Spirit is: charity, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, long-suffering, mildness, faith, modesty, continency, chastity. Against such things there is no law. And they who belong to Christ have crucified their flesh with its passions and desires.
Léctio Epístolæ beáti Pauli Apóstoli ad Gálatas.
Gal 5:16-24
Fratres: Spíritu ambuláte, et desidéria carnis non perficiétis. Caro enim concupíscit advérsus spíritum, spíritus autem advérsus carnem: hæc enim sibi ínvicem adversántur, ut non quæcúmque vultis, illa faciátis. Quod si spíritu ducímini, non estis sub lege. Manifésta sunt autem ópera carnis, quæ sunt fornicátio, immundítia, impudicítia, luxúria, idolórum sérvitus, venefícia, inimicítiæ, contentiónes, æmulatiónes, iræ, rixæ, dissensiónes, sectæ, invídiæ, homicídia, ebrietátes, comessatiónes, et his simília: quæ prædíco vobis, sicut prædíxi: quóniam, qui talia agunt, regnum Dei non consequántur. Fructus autem Spíritus est: cáritas, gáudium, pax, patiéntia, benígnitas, bónitas, longanímitas, mansuetúdo, fides, modéstia, continéntia, cástitas. Advérsus hujúsmodi non est lex. Qui autem sunt Christi, carnem suam crucifixérunt cum vítiis et concupiscéntiis.
Ps 117:8-9
It is better to take refuge in the Lord than to trust in man.
℣. It is better to take refuge in the Lord than to trust in princes. Alleluia, alleluia.
Ps 94:1
℣. Come, let us sing joyfully to the Lord; let us acclaim the God of our salvation. Alleluia.
Ps 117:8-9
Bonum est confidére in Dómino, quam confidére in hómine.
℣. Bonum est speráre in Dómino, quam speráre in princípibus. Allelúja, allelúja.
Ps 94:1.
Veníte, exsultémus Dómino, jubilémus Deo, salutári nostro. Allelúja.
Continuation ☩ of the Holy Gospel according to Matthew
Matt 6:24-33
At that time, Jesus said to His disciples: No man serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or else he will stand by the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon. Therefore I say to you, do not be anxious for your life, what you shall eat; nor yet for your body, what you shall put on. Is not the life a greater thing than the food, and the body than the clothing? Look at the birds of the air: they do not sow, or reap, or gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are not you of much more value than they? But which of you by being anxious about it can add to his stature a single cubit? And as for clothing, why are you anxious? Consider how the lilies of the field grow; they neither toil nor spin, yet I say to you that not even Solomon in all his glory was arrayed like one of those. But if God so clothes the grass of the field, which flourishes today but tomorrow is thrown into the oven, how much more you, O you of little faith! Therefore do not be anxious, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or, ‘What shall we drink?’ or, ‘What are we to put on?’ - for after all these things the Gentiles seek; - for your Father knows that you need all these things. But seek first the Kingdom of God and His justice, and all these things shall be given you besides.
Sequéntia ☩ sancti Evangélii secúndum Matthǽum
Matt 6:24-33
In illo témpore: Dixit Jesus discípulis suis: Nemo potest duóbus dóminis servíre: aut enim unum ódio habébit, et álterum díliget: aut unum sustinébit, et álterum contémnet. Non potéstis Deo servíre et mammónæ. Ideo dico vobis, ne sollíciti sitis ánimæ vestræ, quid manducétis, neque córpori vestro, quid induámini. Nonne ánima plus est quam esca: et corpus plus quam vestiméntum? Respícite volatília cœli, quóniam non serunt neque metunt neque cóngregant in hórrea: et Pater vester cœléstis pascit illa. Nonne vos magis pluris estis illis? Quis autem vestrum cógitans potest adjícere ad statúram suam cúbitum unum? Et de vestiménto quid sollíciti estis? Consideráte lília agri, quómodo crescunt: non labórant neque nent. Dico autem vobis, quóniam nec Sálomon in omni glória sua coopértus est sicut unum ex istis. Si autem fænum agri, quod hódie est et cras in clíbanum míttitur, Deus sic vestit: quanto magis vos módicæ fídei? Nolíte ergo sollíciti esse, dicéntes: Quid manducábimus aut quid bibémus aut quo operiémur? Hæc enim ómnia gentes inquírunt. Scit enim Pater vester, quia his ómnibus indigétis. Quǽrite ergo primum regnum Dei et justítiam ejus: et hæc ómnia adjiciéntur vobis.
Ps 33:8-9
The Angel of the Lord encamps around those who fear Him, and delivers them. Taste and see how good the Lord is.
Ps 33:8-9
Immíttet Angelus Dómini in circúitu timéntium eum, et erípiet eos: gustáte et vidéte, quóniam suávis est Dóminus.
Grant us, Lord, we beseech You, that this salutary sacrifice may be not only a cleansing from our sins but also a propitiation of Your divine power.
Through our Lord…
Concéde nobis, Dómine, quǽsumus, ut hæc hóstia salutáris et nostrórum fiat purgátio delictórum, et tuæ propitiátio potestátis.

Commemoration Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary
May the humanity of Your only-begotten Son help us, O Lord, as He, Who, born of a virgin did not lessen but consecrated the purity of His mother, so, on the festival of her Nativity may Jesus Christ, our Lord, free us from our sins and render our sacrifice acceptable to You.
Who livest…
Commemoratio Nativitate Beatæ Mariæ Virginis
Unigéniti tui, Dómine, nobis succúrrat humánitas: ut, qui natus de Vírgine, matris integritátem non mínuit, sed sacrávit; in Nativitátis ejus sollémniis, nostris nos piáculis éxuens, oblatiónem nostram tibi fáciat accéptam Jesus Christus, Dóminus noster:

Holy Trinity
It is truly meet and just, right and for our salvation, that we should at all times, and in all places, give thanks unto Thee, O holy Lord, Father almighty, everlasting God; Who, together with Thine only-begotten Son, and the Holy Ghost, art one God, one Lord: not in the oneness of a single Person, but in the Trinity of one substance. For what we believe by Thy revelation of Thy glory, the same do we believe of Thy Son, the same of the Holy Ghost, without difference or separation. So that in confessing the true and everlasting Godhead, distinction in persons, unity in essence, and equality in majesty may be adored. Which the Angels and Archangels, the Cherubim also and Seraphim do praise: who cease not daily to cry out, with one voice saying:
de sanctissima Trinitate
Vere dignum et justum est, æquum et salutáre, nos tibi semper et ubíque grátias ágere: Dómine sancte, Pater omnípotens, ætérne Deus: Qui cum unigénito Fílio tuo et Spíritu Sancto unus es Deus, unus es Dóminus: non in uníus singularitáte persónæ, sed in uníus Trinitáte substántiæ. Quod enim de tua glória, revelánte te, crédimus, hoc de Fílio tuo, hoc de Spíritu Sancto sine differéntia discretiónis sentímus. Ut in confessióne veræ sempiternǽque Deitátis, et in persónis propríetas, et in esséntia únitas, et in majestáte adorétur æquálitas. Quam laudant Angeli atque Archángeli, Chérubim quoque ac Séraphim: qui non cessant clamáre cotídie, una voce dicéntes:
Matt 6:33
Seek first the Kingdom of God; and all things shall be given you besides, says the Lord.
Matt 6:33
Primum quǽrite regnum Dei, et ómnia adjiciéntur vobis, dicit Dóminus.
May Your sacrament, O God, ever cleanse and strengthen us, and bring us to everlasting salvation.
Through our Lord…
Puríficent semper et múniant tua sacraménta nos, Deus: et ad perpétuæ ducant salvatiónis efféctum.
