Commemoration St. John of God
O God, Who caused blessed John when burning with love for You, to walk unharmed through the midst of flames, and through him enriched Your Church with a new religious family; grant that through the help of his merits, our sins may be burned away by the fire of Your love, and eternal remedies may come to us.

Deus, qui beátum Joánnem, tuo amóre succénsum, inter flammas innóxium incédere fecísti, et per eum Ecclésiam tuam nova prole fœcundásti: præsta, ipsíus suffragántibus méritis; ut igne caritátis tuæ vitia nostra curéntur, et remédia nobis ætérna provéniant.

Lesson from the Book of Kings
3 Kings 17:8-16
In those days, the word of the Lord came to Elias the Thesbite, saying, Arise, and go to Sarepta of the Sidonians, and dwell there: for I have commanded a widow woman there to feed you. He arose, and went to Sarepta. And when he was come to the gate of the city, he saw the widow woman gathering sticks, and he called her, and said to her, Give me a little water in a vessel, that I may drink. And when she was going to fetch it, he called after her, saying, Bring me also, I beseech you, a morsel of bread in your hand. And she answered, As the Lord your God lives, I have no bread, but only a handful of meal in a pot, and a little oil in a cruse. Behold I am gathering two sticks, that I may go in and dress it for me and my son, that we may eat it, and die. And Elias said to her, Fear not, but go and do as you have said; but first make for me of the same meal a little hearth-cake, and bring it to me; and after make for yourself and your son. For thus says the Lord the God of Israel: ‘The pot of meal shall not waste, nor the cruse of oil be diminished, until the day wherein the Lord will give rain upon the face of the earth.’ She went, and did according to the word of Elias; and he ate, and she, and her house; and from that day the pot of meal wasted not, and the cruse of oil was not diminished, according to the word of the Lord, which He spoke in the hand of Elias.
Léctio libri Regum.
3 Reg 17:8-16
In diébus illis: Factus est sermo Dómini ad Elíam Thesbíten, dicens: Surge et vade in Saréphta Sidoniórum, et manébis ibi: præcépi enim ibi mulíeri víduæ, ut pascat te. Surréxit et ábiit in Saréphta. Cumque venísset ad portam civitátis, appáruit ei múlier vídua cólligens ligna, et vocávit eam, dixítque ei: Da mihi páululum aquæ in vase, ut bibam. Cumque illa pérgeret, ut afférret, clamávit post tergum ejus, dicens: Affer mihi, óbsecro, et buccéllam panis in manu tua. Quæ respóndit: Vivit Dóminus, Deus tuus, quia non hábeo panem, nisi quantum pugíllus cápere potest farínæ in hýdria, et páululum ólei in lécytho: en, cóllige duo ligna, ut ingrédiar, et fáciam illum mihi et fílio meo, ut comedámus et moriámur. Ad quam Elías ait: Noli timére, sed vade, et fac, sicut dixísti: verúmtamen mihi primum fac de ipsa farínula subcinerícium panem párvulum, et affer ad me: tibi autem et fílio tuo fácies póstea. Hæc autem dicit Dóminus, Deus Israël: Hýdria farínæ non defíciet, nec lécythus ólei minuétur, usque ad diem, in qua Dóminus datúrus est plúviam super fáciem terræ. Quæ ábiit, et fecit juxta verbum Elíæ: et comédit ipse et illa et domus ejus: et ex illa die hýdria farínæ non defécit, et lécythus ólei non est imminútus, juxta verbum Dómini, quod locútus fúerat in manu Elíæ.
Ps 54:23, 17-19.
Cast your care upon the Lord, and He will support you.
℣. When I called upon the Lord, He heard my voice from those who war against me.
Ps 54:23; 54:17; 54:18; 54:19
Jacta cogitátum tuum in Dómino, et ipse te enútriet.
℣. Dum clamárem ad Dóminum, exaudívit vocem meam ab his, qui appropínquant mihi.
Continuation of the Holy Gospel according to Matthew
Matt 23:1-12
At that time, Jesus spoke to the crowds and to His disciples, saying, The Scribes and the Pharisees have sat on the chair of Moses. All things, therefore, that they command you, observe and do. But do not act according to their works; for they talk but do nothing. And they bind together heavy and oppressive burdens, and lay them on men’s shoulders; but not with one finger of their own do they choose to move them. In fact, all their works they do in order to be seen by men; for they widen their phylacteries, and enlarge their tassels, and love the first places at suppers and the front seats in the synagogues, and greetings in the market place, and to be called by men ‘Rabbi.’ But do not you be called ‘Rabbi’; for one is your Master, and all you are brothers. And call no one on earth your father; for one is your Father, Who is in heaven. Neither be called masters; for one only is your Master, the Christ. He who is greatest among you shall be your servant. And whoever exalts himself shall be humbled, and whoever humbles himself shall be exalted.
Sequéntia ☩ sancti Evangélii secúndum Matthǽum.
Matt 23:1-12
In illo témpore: Locútus est Jesus ad turbas et ad discípulos suos, dicens: Super cáthedram Móysi sedérunt scribæ et pharisǽi. Omnia ergo, quæcúmque díxerint vobis, serváte et fácite: secúndum ópera vero eórum nolíte fácere: dicunt enim, et non fáciunt. Alligant enim ónera grávia et importabília, et impónunt in húmeros hóminum: dígito autem suo nolunt ea movére. Omnia vero ópera sua fáciunt, ut videántur ab homínibus: dilátant enim phylactéria sua, et magníficant fímbrias. Amant autem primos recúbitus in cenis, et primas cáthedras in synagógis, et salutatiónes in foro, et vocári ab homínibus Rabbi. Vos autem nolíte vocári Rabbi: unus est enim Magíster vester, omnes autem vos fratres estis. Et patrem nolíte vocáre vobis super terram, unus est enim Pater vester, qui in cœlis est. Nec vocémini magístri: quia Magíster vester unus est, Christus. Qui major est vestrum, erit miníster vester. Qui autem se exaltáverit, humiliábitur: et qui se humiliáverit, exaltábitur.
Ps 50:3
Have mercy on me, O Lord, in the greatness of Your compassion; O Lord, wipe out my offense.
Ps 50:3.
Miserére mei, Dómine, secúndum magnam misericórdiam tuam: dele, Dómine, iniquitátem meam.
Through this sacrament, O Lord, graciously perform Your holy work, that it may cleanse us of earthly vices and bring us to heavenly rewards.
Through our Lord…
Sanctificatiónem tuam nobis, Dómine, his mystériis operáre placátus: quæ nos et a terrénis purget vítiis, et ad cœléstia dona perdúcat.

Commemoration St. John of God

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 9:2-3
I will declare all Your wondrous deeds; I will be glad and exult in You; I will sing praise to Your name, Most High.
Ps 9:2-3
Narrábo ómnia mirabília tua: lætábor, et exsultábo in te: psallam nómini tuo, Altíssime.
Grant us, O Lord, ever to obey Your commandments, that we may be worthy of Your sacred gifts.
Through our Lord…
Ut sacris, Dómine, reddámur digni munéribus: fac nos tuis, quǽsumus, semper obœdíre mandátis.
