Lesson from the first letter of St. Paul the Apostle to the Corinthians
1 Cor. 4:9-15
Brethren: I think God has set forth us the Apostles last of all, as men doomed to death, seeing that we have been made a spectacle to the world, and to angels, and to men. We are fools for Christ, but you are wise in Christ! We are weak, but you are strong! You are honored, but we are without honor! To this very hour we hunger and thirst, and we are naked and buffeted, and have no fixed abode. And we toil, working with our own hands. We are reviled and we bless, we are persecuted and we bear with it, we are maligned and we entreat, we have become as the refuse of this world, the offscouring of all, even until now! I write these things not to put you to shame, but to admonish you as my dearest children. For although you have ten thousand tutors in Christ, yet you have not many fathers. For in Christ Jesus, through the gospel, did I beget you.
Léctio Epístolæ beáti Pauli Apóstoli ad Corínthios
1 Cor 4:9-15
Fratres: Puto, quod Deus nos Apóstolos novíssimos osténdit, tamquam morti destinátos: quia spectáculum facti sumus mundo et Angelis et homínibus. Nos stulti propter Christum, vos autem prudéntes in Christo: nos infírmi, vos autem fortes: vos nóbiles, nos autem ignóbiles. Usque in hanc horam et esurímus, et sitímus, et nudi sumus, et cólaphis cædimur, et instábiles sumus, et laborámus operántes mánibus nostris: maledícimur, et benedícimus: persecutiónem pátimur, et sustinémus: blasphemámur, et obsecrámus: tamquam purgaménta hujus mundi facti sumus, ómnium peripséma usque adhuc. Non ut confúndam vos, hæc scribo, sed ut fílios meos caríssimos móneo. Nam si decem mília pædagogórum habeátis in Christo: sed non multos patres. Nam in Christo Jesu per Evangélium ego vos génui.
Ps 44:17-18
You shall make them princes through all the land; they shall remember Your name, O Lord.
℣. The place of your fathers your sons shall have; therefore shall nations praise You. Alleluia, alleluia.
John 15:16
℣. I have chosen you out of the world, that you should go and bear fruit, and that your fruit should remain. Alleluia.
Ps 44:17; 44:18
Constítues eos príncipes super omnem terram: mémores erunt nóminis tui, Dómine.
℣. Pro pátribus tuis nati sunt tibi fílii: proptérea pópuli confitebúntur tibi.
Allelúja, allelúja.
Joannes 15:16
Ego vos elegi de mundo, ut eátis, et fructum afferátis, et fructus vester máneat. Allelúja.
Continuation ☩ of the Holy Gospel according to Matthew
Matt 20:20-23
In that time: came to him the mother of the sons of Zebedee with her sons, adoring and asking something of him. Who said to her: What wilt thou? She saith to him: Say that these my two sons may sit, the one on thy right hand, and the other on thy left, in thy kingdom. And Jesus answering, said: You know not what you ask. Can you drink the chalice that I shall drink? They say to him: We can. He saith to them: My chalice indeed you shall drink; but to sit on my right or left hand, is not mine to give to you, but to them for whom it is prepared by my Father.
Sequéntia ☩ sancti Evangélii secúndum Matthǽum
Matt 20:20-23
In illo témpore: Accessit ad Jesum mater filiórum Zebedæi cum fíliis suis, adórans et petens áliquid ab eo. Qui dixit ei: Quid vis? Ait illi: Dic, ut sédeant hi duo fílii mei, unus ad déxteram tuam et unus ad sinístram in regno tuo. Respóndens autem Jesus, dixit: Néscitis, quid petátis. Potéstis bíbere cálicem, quem ego bibitúrus sum? Dicunt ei: Póssumus. Ait illis: Cálicem quidem meum bibétis: sedére autem ad déxteram meam vel sinístram, non est meum dare vobis, sed quibus parátum est a Patre meo.
Ps 18:5
Through all the earth their voice resounds, and to the ends of the world, their message.
Ps 18:5
In omnem terram exívit sonus eórum: et in fines orbis terræ verba eórum.
May the holy martyrdom of blessed James, the Apostle, make acceptable the offerings of Your people; and because our own merits are insufficient, may his prayer make them pleasing to You.
Through our Lord…
Oblatiónes pópuli tui, quǽsumus, Dómine, beáti Jacóbi Apóstoli pássio beáta concíliet: et, quæ nostris non aptæ sunt méritis, fiant tibi plácitæ ejus deprecatióne.

of Apostles
It is truly meet and just, right and for our salvation, to entreat Thee humbly, O Lord, that Thou wouldst not desert Thy flock, O everlasting Shepherd, but, through Thy blessed Apostles, wouldst keep it under Thy constant protection; that it may be governed by those same rulers, whom as vicars of Thy work, Thou didst set over it to be its pastors. And therefore with Angels and Archangels, with Thrones and Dominations, and with all the hosts of the heavenly army, we sing the hymn of Thy glory, evermore saying:
de Apostolis
Vere dignum et justum est, æquum et salutáre: Te, Dómine, supplíciter exoráre, ut gregem tuum, Pastor ætérne, non déseras: sed per beátos Apóstolos tuos contínua protectióne custódias. Ut iísdem rectóribus gubernétur, quos óperis tui vicários eídem contulísti præésse pastóres. Et ídeo cum Angelis et Archángelis, cum Thronis et Dominatiónibus cumque omni milítia cœléstis exércitus hymnum glóriæ tuæ cánimus, sine fine dicéntes:
Matt 19:28
You who have followed Me shall sit on thrones judging the twelve tribes of Israel.
Matt 19:28
Vos, qui secúti estis me, sedébitis super sedes, judicántes duódecim tribus Israël.
Help us, O Lord, we beseech You, by the intercession of blessed James, Your Apostle, for whose festival we have joyfully received Your holy sacrament.
Through our Lord…
Beáti Apóstoli tui Jacóbi, quǽsumus, Dómine, intercessióne nos ádjuva: pro cujus festivitáte percépimus tua sancta lætántes.
Per Dominum…
Commemoration St. Christopher
Grant, we beseech thee, O our God, that we who in time render joyful service in memory of thy saints, may be gladdened by their company in eternity.

Commemoratio S. Christophori
Da, quǽsumus, Dómine, Deus noster: ut, sicut tuórum commemoratióne Sanctórum temporáli gratulámur offício; ita perpétuo lætémur aspéctu.
