Lesson from the book of Exodus
Exod 23:20-23
Thus says the Lord God: See, I am sending My Angel before you, to guard you on the way and bring you to the place I have prepared. Be attentive to him and heed his voice. Do not rebel against him, for he will not forgive your sin. My authority resides in him. If you heed his voice and carry out all I tell you, I will be an enemy to your enemies and a foe to your foe, and My Angel will go before you.
Léctio libri Exodi
Exod 23:20-23
Hæc dicit Dóminus Deus: Ecce, ego mittam Angelum meum, qui præcédat te, et custódiat in via, et intróducat in locum, quem parávi. Obsérva eum, et audi vocem ejus, nec contemnéndum putes: quia non dimíttet, cum peccáveris, et est nomen meum in illo. Quod si audiéris vocem ejus et féceris ómnia, quæ loquor, inimícus ero inimícis tuis et affligam affligéntes te: præcedétque te Angelus meus.
Ps 90:11-12
To His Angels God has given command about you, that they guard you in all your ways.
℣. Upon their hands they shall bear you up, lest you dash your foot against a stone. Alleluia, alleluia.

Bless the Lord all you His hosts, His ministers, who do His will. Alleluia.
Ps 90:11-12
Angelis suis Deus mandávit de te, ut custódiant te in ómnibus viis tuis.
℣. In mánibus portábunt te, ne umquam offéndas ad lápidem pedem tuum.
Allelúja, allelúja.
Ps 102:21.
Benedícite Dómino, omnes virtútes ejus: minístri ejus, qui fácitis voluntátem ejus. Allelúja.
Continuation ☩ of the Holy Gospel according to Matthew
Matt 18:1-10
In that time: the disciples came to Jesus, saying: Who thinkest thou is the greater in the kingdom of heaven? And Jesus calling unto him a little child, set him in the midst of them, And said: Amen I say to you, unless you be converted, and become as little children, you shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven. Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, he is the greater in the kingdom of heaven. And he that shall receive one such little child in my name, receiveth me. But he that shall scandalize one of these little ones that believe in me, it were better for him that a millstone should be hanged about his neck, and that he should be drowned in the depth of the sea. Woe to the world because of scandals. For it must needs be that scandals come: but nevertheless woe to that man by whom the scandal cometh. And if thy hand, or thy foot scandalize thee, cut it off, and cast it from thee. It is better for thee to go into life maimed or lame, than having two hands or two feet, to be cast into everlasting fire. And if thy eye scandalize thee, pluck it out, and cast it from thee. It is better for thee having one eye to enter into life, than having two eyes to be cast into hell fire. See that you despise not one of these little ones: for I say to you, that their angels in heaven always see the face of my Father who is in heaven.
Sequéntia ☩ sancti Evangélii secúndum Matthǽum
Matt 18:1-10
In illo témpore: Accessérunt discípuli ad Jesum, dicéntes: Quis, putas, major est in regno cœlórum? Et ádvocans Jesus párvulum, státuit eum in médio eórum et dixit: Amen, dico vobis, nisi convérsi fuéritis et efficiámini sicut párvuli, non intrábitis in regnum cœlórum. Quicúmque ergo humiliáverit se sicut párvulus iste, hic est major in regno cœlórum. Et qui suscéperit unum párvulum talem in nómine meo, me súscipit. Qui autem scandalizáverit unum de pusíllis istis, qui in me credunt, expédit ei, ut suspendátur mola asinária in collo ejus, et demergátur in profúndum maris. Væ mundo a scándalis! Necésse est enim, ut véniant scándala: verúmtamen væ hómini illi, per quem scándalum venit! Si autem manus tua vel pes tuus scandalízat te, abscíde eum et projíce abs te: bonum tibi est ad vitam ingrédi débilem vel claudum, quam duas manus vel duos pedes habéntem niitti in ignem ætérnum. Et si óculus tuus scandalízat te, érue eum et projice abs te: bonum tibi est cum uno óculo in vitam intráre, quam duos óculos habéntem mitti in gehénnam ignis. Vidéte, ne contemnátis unum ex his pusíllis: dico enim vobis, quia Angeli eórum in cœlis semper vident fáciem Patris mei, qui in cœlis est.
Ps 102:20-21
Bless the Lord, all you His Angels, His ministers, who do His will, obeying His spoken word.
Ps 102:20-21
Benedícite Dóminum, omnes Angeli ejus: minístri ejus, qui fácitis verbum ejus, ad audiéndam vocem sermónum ejus.
Accept, O Lord, the gifts which we offer in honor of Your holy Angels, and mercifully grant that we may be freed from present perils by their perpetual protection and attain unto life everlasting.
Through our Lord…
Súscipe, Dómine, múnera, quæ pro sanctórum Angelórum tuórum veneratióne deférimus: et concéde propítius; ut, perpétuis eórum præsídiis, a præséntibus perículis liberémur et ad vitam perveniámus ætérnam.
Per Dominum…
Common
It is truly meet and just, and profitable unto salvation, that we should at all times, and in all places, give thanks to Thee, O Holy Lord, Father Almighty, eternal God, through Christ, our Lord. Through whom the Angels praise Thy Majesty, the Dominions adore it, the Powers are in awe. Which the heavens and the hosts of heaven together with the blessed Seraphim joyfully do magnify. And do Thou command that it be permitted us to join with them in confessing Thee, while we say with lowly praise:
Communis
Vere dignum et justum est, æquum et salutáre, nos tibi semper et ubíque grátias ágere: Dómine sancte, Pater omnípotens, ætérne Deus: per Christum, Dóminum nostrum. Per quem majestátem tuam laudant Angeli, adórant Dominatiónes, tremunt Potestátes. Cæli cælorúmque Virtútes ac beáta Séraphim sócia exsultatióne concélebrant. Cum quibus et nostras voces ut admítti jubeas, deprecámur, súpplici confessione dicéntes:
Dan 3:58
All you Angels of the Lord, bless the Lord: sing a hymn, and exalt Him above all forever.
Dan 3:58
Benedícite, omnes Angeli Dómini, Dóminum: hymnum dícite et superexaltáte eum in sǽcula.
Rejoicing on the feast of Your holy Angels, O Lord, we have received the divine sacrament; we pray that we may ever be freed, by their protection, from the snares of the enemy and be preserved from all harm.
Through our Lord…
Súmpsimus, Dómine, divína mystéria, sanctórum Angelórum tuórum festivitáte lætántes: quǽsumus; ut eórum protectióne ab hóstium júgiter liberémur insídiis, et contra ómnia advérsa muniámur.
Per Dominum…
