Lesson from the book of Exodus
Ex 32:7-14
In those days, the Lord said to Moses, Go down from the mountain to your people, whom you brought out of the land of Egypt, for they have become depraved. They have soon turned aside from the way I pointed out to them, making for themselves a molten calf and worshipping it, sacrificing to it and crying out, ‘This is your God, O Israel, Who brought you out of the land of Egypt!’ I see how stiff-necked this people is, continued the Lord to Moses. Let Me alone, then, that My wrath may blaze up against them to consume them. Then I will make of you a great nation. But Moses implored the Lord, his God, saying, Why, O Lord, should Your wrath blaze up against Your own people, whom You brought out of the land of Egypt with such great power and with so strong a hand? Why should the Egyptians say, ‘With evil intent He brought them out, that He might kill them in the mountains and exterminate them from the face of the earth’? Let Your blazing wrath die down; relent in punishing Your people. Remember Your servants Abraham, Isaac and Israel, and how You swore to them by Your own self, saying, ‘I will make your descendants as numerous as the stars in the sky; and all this land that I promised, I will give your descendants as their perpetual heritage.’ So the Lord relented in the punishment He had threatened to inflict on His people.

Exod 32:7-14
In diébus illis: Locútus est Dóminus ad Móysen, dicens: Descénde de monte: peccávit pópulus tuus, quem eduxísti de terra Ægýpti. Recessérunt cito de via, quam ostendísti eis: fecerúntque sibi vítulum conflátilem, et adoravérunt, atque immolántes ei hóstias, dixérunt: Isti sunt dii tui, Israël, qui te eduxérunt de terra Ægýpti. Rursúmque ait Dóminus ad Móysen: Cerno, quod pópulus iste duræ cervícis sit: dimítte me, ut irascátur furor meus contra eos, et déleam eos, faciámque te in gentem magnam. Móyses autem orábat Dóminum, Deum suum, dicens: Cur, Dómine, iráscitur furor tuus contra pópulum tuum, quem eduxísti de terra Ægýpti in fortitúdine magna et in manu robústa? Ne quæro dicant Ægýptii: Cállide edúxit eos, ut interfíceret in móntibus et deléret e terra: quiéscat ira tua, et esto placábilis super nequítia pópuli tui. Recordáre Abraham, Isaac et Israël, servórum tuórum, quibus jurásti per temetípsum, dicens: Multiplicábo semen vestrum sicut stellas cœli: et univérsam terram hanc, de qua locútus sum, dabo sémini vestro, et possidébitis eam semper. Placatúsque est Dóminus, ne fáceret malum, quod locútus fúerat advérsus pópulum suum.
Ps 43:26, 2
Arise, O Lord, help us! Redeem us for Your Name’s sake.
℣. O God, our ears have heard, our fathers have declared to us the deeds You did in their days, in days of old.
Ps 43:26, 2
Exsúrge, Dómine, fer opem nobis: et líbera nos propter nomen tuum.
℣. Deus, áuribus nostris audívimus: et patres nostri annuntiavérunt nobis opus, quod operátus es in diébus eórum et in diébus antíquis.
Continuation of the Holy Gospel according to John
John 7:14-31
At that time, when the feast was already half over, Jesus went up into the temple and began to teach. And the Jews marveled, saying, How does this man come by learning, since He has not studied? Jesus answered them and said, My teaching is not My own, but His Who sent Me. If anyone desires to do His will, he will know of the teaching whether it is from God, or whether I speak on My own authority. He who speaks on his own authority seeks his own glory. But he who seeks the glory of the one who sent him is truthful, and there is no injustice in him. Did not Moses give you the Law, and none of you observes the Law? Why do you seek to put Me to death? The crowd answered and said, You have a devil. Who seeks to put You to death? Jesus answered and said to them, One work I did and you all wonder. For this reason Moses gave you the circumcision -- not that it is from Moses, but from the fathers -- and on a Sabbath you circumcise a man. If a man receives circumcision on a Sabbath, that the Law of Moses may not be broken, are you indignant with me because I made a whole man well on a Sabbath? Judge not by appearances but give just judgment. Some therefore of the people of Jerusalem were saying, Is not this the man they seek to kill? And behold, He speaks openly and they say nothing to Him. Can it be that the rulers have really come to know that this is the Christ? Yet we know where this man is from; but when the Christ comes, no one will know where He is from. Jesus therefore, while teaching in the temple, cried out and said, You both know Me, and know where I am from. Yet I have not come of Myself, but He is true Who has sent Me, whom you do not know. I know Him because I am from Him, and He sent Me. They wanted therefore to seize Him, but no one laid hands on Him because His hour had not yet come. Many of the people, however, believed in Him.
Sequéntia ☩ sancti Evangélii secúndum Joánnem.
Joann 7:14-31
In illo témpore: Jam die festo mediánte, ascéndit Jesus in templum, et docébat. Et mirabántur Judǽi, dicéntes: Quómodo hic lítteras scit, cum non didícerit? Respóndit eis Jesus et dixit: Mea doctrína non est mea, sed ejus, qui misit me. Si quis volúerit voluntátem ejus fácere, cognóscet de doctrína, utrum ex Deo sit, an ego a meípso loquar. Qui a semetípso lóquitur, glóriam própriam quærit. Qui autem quærit glóriam ejus, qui misit eum, hic verax est, et injustítia in illo non est. Nonne Móyses dedit vobis legem: et nemo ex vobis facit legem? quid me quǽritis interfícere ? Respóndit turba, et dixit: Dæmónium habes: quis te quærit interfícere ? Respóndit Jesus et dixit eis: Unum opus feci, et omnes mirámini. Proptérea Móyses dedit vobis circumcisiónem -non quia ex Móyse est, sed ex pátribus: - et in sábbato circumcíditis hóminem. Si circumcisiónem áccipit homo in sábbato, ut non solvátur lex Móysi: mihi indignámini, quia totum hóminem sanum feci in sábbato? Nolíte judicáre secúndum fáciem, sed justum judícium judicáte. Dicébant ergo quidam ex Jerosólymis: Nonne hic est, quem quærunt interfícere ? Et ecce, palam lóquitur, et nihil ei dicunt. Numquid vere cognovérunt príncipes, quia hic est Christus? Sed hunc scimus, unde sit: Christus autem, cum vénerit, nemo scit, unde sit. Clamábat ergo Jesus in templo docens, et dicens: Et me scitis et, unde sim, scitis, et a meípso non veni, sed est verus, qui misit me, quem vos nescítis. Ego scio eum, quia ab ipso sum, et ipse me misit. Quærébant ergo eum apprehéndere: et nemo misit in illum manus, quia nondum vénerat hora ejus. De turba autem multi credidérunt in eum.
Ps 39:2-4
I have waited, waited for the Lord, and He stooped toward me and heard my cry. And He put a new song into my mouth, a hymn to our God.
Ps 39:2, 3, 4
Exspéctans exspectávi Dóminum, et respéxit me: et exaudívit deprecatiónem meam: et immísit in os meum cánticum novum, hymnum Deo nostro.
May this offering, O Lord, we beseech You, wipe away our sins, and make holy the minds and bodies of Your servants for celebrating this Sacrifice.
Through our Lord…
Hæc hóstia, Dómine, quǽsumus, emúndet nostra delícta: et, ad sacrifícium celebrándum, subditórum tibi córpora mentésque sanctíficet.

Commemoration St. Gabriel the Archangel
May this gift from us, Your servants, and the prayer of the blessed Archangel Gabriel be acceptable in Your sight, O Lord, so that he whom we honor on earth may plead our cause with You in heaven.
Through our Lord…
Commemoratio S. Gabrielis Archangeli
Accéptum fiat in conspéctu tuo, Dómine, nostræ servitútis munus, et beáti Archángeli Gabriélis orátio: ut, qui a nobis venerátur in terris, sit apud te pro nobis advocátus in cœlis.

Lent
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 by this bodily fast, dost curb our vices, dost lift up our minds and bestow on us strength and rewards; through Christ our Lord. Through whom the Angels praise Thy Majesty, the Dominations worship it, the Powers stand in awe. The Heavens and the heavenly hosts together with the blessed Seraphim in triumphant chorus unite to celebrate it. Together with these we entreat Thee that Thou mayest bid our voices also to be admitted while we say with lowly praise:
de Quadragesima
Vere dignum et justum est, æquum et salutáre, nos tibi semper et ubíque grátias ágere: Dómine, sancte Pater, omnípotens ætérne Deus: Qui corporáli ieiúnio vítia cómprimis, mentem élevas, virtútem largíris et prǽmia: 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 iúbeas, deprecámur, súpplici confessióne dicéntes:
Ps 19:6
May we shout for joy at Your victory and raise the standards in the Name of the Lord our God.
Ps 19:6
Lætábimur in salutári tuo: et in nómine Dómini, Dei nostri, magnificábimur.
May the reception of this sacrament, O Lord, cleanse us from guilt and bring us to the kingdom of heaven.
Through our Lord…
Hujus nos, Dómine, percéptio sacraménti mundet a crímine: et ad cæléstia regna perdúcat.

Commemoration St. Gabriel the Archangel
O God, our Lord, having received the sacrament of Your Body and Blood, we ask of Your mercy that, as Your incarnation was made known to us by the message of Gabriel, so by his help we may reap the benefits of that same incarnation.
