Lesson from the Prophecy of Ezechiel
Ezech 34:11-16
Thus says the Lord God: I Myself will look after and tend My sheep. As a shepherd tends his flock when he finds himself among his scattered sheep, so will I tend My sheep. I will rescue them from every place where they were scattered when it was cloudy and dark. I will lead them out from among the peoples and gather them from the foreign lands; I will bring them back to their own country and pasture them upon the mountains of Israel in the land’s ravines and all its inhabited places. In good pastures will I pasture them, and on the mountain heights of Israel shall be their grazing ground. There they shall lie down on good grazing ground, and in rich pastures shall they be pastured on the mountains of Israel. I Myself will pasture My sheep; I Myself will give them rest, says the Lord God. The lost I will seek out, the strayed I will bring back, the injured I will bind up, the sick I will heal, but the sleek and the strong I will preserve, shepherding them rightly, says the Lord almighty.
Léctio Ezechiélis Prophétæ
Ezech 34:11-16
Hæc dicit Dóminus Deus: Ecce, ego ipse requíram oves meas, et visitábo eas. Sicut vísitat pastor gregem suum in die, quando fúerit in médio óvium suárum dissipatárum: sic visitábo oves meas, et liberábo eas de ómnibus locis, in quibus dispérsæ fúerant in die nubis et calíginis. Et edúcam eas de pópulis, et congregábo eas de terris, et indúcam eas in terram suam: et pascam eas in móntibus Israël, in rivis, et in cunctis sédibus terræ. In páscuis ubérrimis pascam eas, et in móntibus excélsis Israël erunt páscua eárum: ibi requiéscent in herbis viréntibus, et in páscuis pínguibus pascéntur super montes Israël. Ego pascam oves meas, et ego eas accubáre fáciam, dicit Dóminus Deus. Quod períerat, requíram; et quod abjéctum erat, redúcam; et quod confractum fúerat, alligábo; et quod infírmum fúerat, consolidábo; et quod pingue et forte, custódiam: et pascam illas in judício, dicit Dóminus omnípotens.
Ps 83:10, 9
Behold, O God, our Protector, and look upon Your servants.
℣. O Lord God of Hosts, hear the prayers of Your servants.
Ps 102:10
O Lord, deal with us not according to our sins, nor requite us according to our crimes.
Ps 78:8-9
℣. O Lord, remember not against us the iniquities of the past; may Your compassion quickly come to us, for we are brought very low. (kneel)
℣. Help us, O God, our Saviour, because of the glory of Your Name, O Lord; deliver us and pardon our sins for Your Name’s sake.
Ps 83:10; 83:9
Protéctor noster, áspice, Deus, et réspice super servos tuos.
℣. Dómine, Deus virtútum, exáudi preces servórum tuórum.
Tractus
Ps 102:10
Dómine, non secúndum peccáta nostra, quæ fécimus nos: neque secúndum iniquitátes nostras retríbuas nobis
Ps 78:8-9
Dómine, ne memíneris iniquitátum nostrárum antiquárum: cito antícipent nos misericórdiæ tuæ, quia páuperes facti sumus nimis. (Hic genuflectitur)
℣. Adjuva nos, Deus, salutáris noster: et propter glóriam nóminis tui, Dómine, líbera nos: et propítius esto peccátis nostris, propter nomen tuum.
Continuation of the Holy Gospel according to Matthew
Matt 25:31-46
At that time, Jesus said to His disciples: When the Son of Man shall come in His majesty, and all the angels with Him, then He will sit on the throne of His glory; and before Him will be gathered all the nations, and He will separate them one from another, as the shepherd separates the sheep from the goats; and He will set the sheep on His right hand, but the goats on the left. Then the king will say to those on his right hand, ‘Come, blessed of My Father, take possession of the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world; for I was hungry and you gave Me to eat; I was thirsty and you gave Me to drink; I was a stranger and you took Me in; naked and you covered Me; sick and you visited Me; I was in prison and you came to Me.’ Then the just will answer Him, saying; ‘Lord, when did we see You hungry, and feed You; or thirsty, and give you to drink? And when did we see You a stranger, and take You in; or naked, and clothe You? Or when did we see You sick, or in prison, and come to You?’ And, answering, the king will say to them, ‘Amen I say to you, as long as you did it for one of these, the least of My brethren, you did it for Me.’ Then He will say to those on His left hand, ‘Depart from Me, accursed ones, into the everlasting fire which was prepared for the devil and his angels. For I was hungry, and you did not give Me to eat; I was thirsty and you gave Me no drink; I was a stranger and you did not take Me in; naked, and you did not clothe Me; sick, and in prison, and you did not visit Me.’ Then they also will and say, ‘Lord, when did we see You hungry, or thirsty, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not minister to You?’ Then He will answer them, saying, ‘Amen I say to you, as long as you did not do it for one of these least ones, you did not do it for Me.’ And these will go into everlasting punishment, but the just into everlasting life.
Sequéntia ☩ sancti Evangélii secundum Matthǽum
Matt 25:31-46
In illo témpore: Dixit Jesus discípulis suis: Cum vénerit Fílius hóminis in majestáte sua, et omnes Angeli cum eo, tunc sedébit super sedem majestátis suæ: et congregabúntur ante eum omnes gentes, et separábit eos ab ínvicem, sicut pastor ségregat oves ab hædis: et státuet oves quidem a dextris suis, hædos autem a sinístris. Tunc dicet Rex his, qui a dextris ejus erunt: Veníte, benedícti Patris mei, possidéte parátum vobis regnum a constitutióne mundi. Esurívi enim, et dedístis mihi manducáre; sitívi, et dedístis mihi bíbere; hospes eram, et collegístis me; nudus, et cooperuístis me; infírmus, et visitástis me; in cárcere eram, et venístis ad me. Tunc respondébunt ei justi, dicéntes: Dómine, quando te vídimus esuriéntem, et pávimus te; sitiéntem, et dedimus tibi potum? quando autem te vídimus hóspitem, et collégimus te? aut nudum, et cooperúimus te? aut quando te vídimus infírmum, aut in cárcere, et vénimus ad te? Et respóndens Rex, dicet illis: Amen, dico vobis: quámdiu fecístis uni ex his frátribus meis mínimis, mihi fecístis. Tunc dicet et his, qui a sinístris erunt: Discédite a me, maledícti, in ignem ætérnum, qui parátus est diábolo et ángelis ejus. Esurívi enim, et non dedístis mihi manducáre; sitívi, et non dedístis mihi potum; hospes eram, et non collegístis me; nudus, et non cooperuístis me; infírmus et in cárcere, et non visitástis me. Tunc respondébunt ei et ipsi, dicéntes: Dómine, quando te vídimus esuriéntem, aut sitiéntem, aut hóspitem, aut nudum, aut infírmum, aut in cárcere, et non ministrávimus tibi? Tunc respondébit illis, dicens: Amen, dico vobis: Quámdiu non fecístis uni de minóribus his, nec mihi fecístis. Et ibunt hi in supplícium ætérnum: justi autem in vitam ætérnam.
Ps 118:18, 26, 73
I will lift up my eyes, that I may consider Your wonders, O Lord; teach me Your statutes; give me discernment that I may learn Your commands.
Ps 118:18; 118:26; 118:73
Levábo óculos meos, et considerábo mirabília tua, Dómine, ut dóceas me justítias tuas: da mihi intelléctum, et discam mandáta tua.
Sanctify the gifts offered unto You, O Lord, and cleanse us from the stains of our sins.
Through our Lord…
Múnera tibi, Dómine, obláta sanctífica: nosque a peccatórum nostrórum máculis emúnda.
Per Dominum…
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:
Matt 25:40, 34
Amen I say to you: What you did for one of these, the least of My brethren, you did for Me: come, blessed of My Father, take possession of the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world.
Matt 25:40; 25:34
Amen, dico vobis: quod uni ex mínimis meis fecístis, mihi fecístis: veníte, benedícti Patris mei, possidéte parátum vobis regnum ab inítio sǽculi.
Refreshed by the sacramental gift of Your salvation, we humbly beseech You, O Lord, that, enjoying its savor, we may be made new by its action.
Through our Lord…
Salutáris tui, Dómine, múnere satiáti, súpplices exorámus: ut, cujus lætámur gustu, renovémur efféctu.
Per Dominum…
Prayer over the people
Let us pray.
Bow your heads to God.
Loose the bonds of our sins, we beseech You, O Lord, and mercifully turn aside whatever punishment we deserve for them.
Through our Lord…
Oratio super populum
Orémus.
Humiliáte cápita vestra Deo.
Absólve, quǽsumus, Dómine, nostrórum víncula peccatórum: et, quidquid pro eis merémur, propitiátus avérte.
Per Dominum…
