Lesson from the book of Proverbs
Prov 31:10-31
When one finds a worthy wife, her value is far beyond pearls. Her husband, entrusting his heart to her, has an unfailing prize. She brings him good, and not evil, all the days of her life. She obtains wool and flax and makes cloth with skillful hands. Like merchant ships, she secures her provisions from afar. She rises while it is still night, and distributes food to her household. She picks out a field to purchase; out of her earnings she plants a vineyard. She is girt about with strength, and sturdy are her arms. She enjoys the success of her dealings; at night her lamp is undimmed. She puts her hands to the distaff, and her fingers ply the spindle. She reaches out her hands to the poor, and extends her arms to the needy. She fears not the snow for her household; all her charges are doubly clothed. She makes her own coverlets; fine linen and purple are her clothing. Her husband is prominent at the city gates as he sits with the elders of the land. She makes garments and sells them, and stocks the merchants with belts. She is clothed with strength and dignity, and she laughs at the days to come. She opens her mouth in wisdom, and on her tongue is kindly counsel. She watches the conduct of her household, and eats not her food in idleness. Her children rise up and praise her; her husband, too, extols her: Many are the women of proven worth, but you have excelled them all. Charm is deceptive and beauty fleeting; the woman who fears the Lord is to be praised. Give her a reward of her labors, and let her works praise her at the city gates.
Léctio libri Sapiéntiæ
Prov 31:10-31
Mulíerem fortem quis invéniet? Procul et de últimis fínibus prétium ejus. Confídit in ea cor viri sui, et spóliis non indigébit. Reddet ei bonum, et non malum, ómnibus diébus vitæ suæ. Quæsívit lanam et linum, et operáta est consílio mánuum suárum. Facta est quasi navis institóris, de longe portans panem suum. Et de nocte surréxit, dedítque prædam domésticis suis, et cibária ancíllis suis. Considerávit agrum, et emit eum: de fructu mánuum suárum plantávit víneam. Accínxit fortitúdine lumbos suos, et roborávit bráchium suum. Gustávit, et vidit, quia bona est negotiátio ejus: non exstinguétur in nocte lucérna ejus. Manum suam misit ad fórtia, et dígiti ejus apprehendérunt fusum. Manum suam apéruit ínopi, et palmas suas exténdit ad páuperem. Non timébit dómui suæ a frigóribus nivis: omnes enim doméstici ejus vestíti sunt duplícibus. Stragulátam vestem fecit sibi: byssus et púrpura induméntum ejus. Nóbilis in portis vir ejus, quando séderit cum senatóribus terræ. Síndonem fecit et véndidit, et cíngulum trádidit Chananǽo. Fortitúdo et decor induméntum ejus, et ridébit in die novíssimo. Os suum apéruit sapiéntiæ, et lex cleméntiæ in lingua ejus. Considerávit sémitas domus suæ, et panem otiósa non comédit. Surrexérunt fílii ejus, et beatíssimam prædicavérunt: vir ejus, et laudávit eam. Multæ fíliæ congregavérunt divítias: tu supergréssa es univérsas. Fallax grátia, et vana est pulchritúdo: múlier timens Dóminum, ipsa laudábitur. Date ei de fructu mánuum suárum: et laudent eam in portis ópera ejus.
Ps 123:7-8
We were rescued like a bird from the fowlers’ snare.
℣. Broken was the snare, and we were freed. Our help is in the name of the Lord, Who made heaven and earth. Alleluia, alleluia.
℣. This is the true brotherhood, which overcame the wickedness of the world; it followed Christ, attaining the noble kingdom of heaven.
Ps 123:7-8.
Anima nostra, sicut passer, erépta est de láqueo venántium.
℣. Láqueus contrítus est, et nos liberáti sumus: adjutórium nostrum in nómine Dómini, qui fecit cœlum et terram.
Allelúja, allelúja.
℣. Hæc est vera fratérnitas, quæ vicit mundi crímina: Christum secuta est, ínclita tenens regna cœléstia. Allelúja.
Continuation ☩ of the Holy Gospel according to Matthew
Matt 12:46-50
At that time, as Jesus was still speaking to the crowds, His mother and His brethren were standing outside, seeking to speak to Him. And someone said to Him, Behold, Your mother and your brethren are standing outside, seeking You. But He answered and said to him who told Him, Who is My mother and who are My brethren? And stretching forth His hand toward His disciples, He said, Behold My mother and My brethren! For whoever does the will of My Father in heaven, he is My brother and sister and mother.
Sequéntia ☩ sancti Evangélii secúndum Matthǽum
Matt 12:46-50
In illo témpore: Loquente Jesu ad turbas, ecce, Mater ejus et fratres stabant foris, quæréntes loqui ei. Dixit autem ei quidam: Ecce, mater tua et fratres tui foris stant, quæréntes te. At ipse respóndens dicénti sibi, ait: Quæ est mater mea et qui sunt fratres mei? Et exténdens manum in discípulos suos, dixit: Ecce mater mea et fratres mei. Quicúmque enim fécerit voluntátem Patris mei, qui in cœlis est: ipse meus frater et soror et mater est.
Ps 123:7
Our soul hath been delivered as a sparrow out of the snare of the fowlers. The snare is broken, and we are delivered.
Ps 123:7
Anima nostra, sicut passer, erépta est de láqueo venántium: láqueus contrítus est, et nos liberáti sumus.
Look with favor, we beseech You, O Lord, upon the offerings here before You, that, through the intercession of Your Saints, they may be beneficial for our devotion and salvation.
Through our Lord…
Sacrifíciis præséntibus, quǽsumus, Dómine, inténde placátus: et, intercedéntibus Sanctis tuis, devotióni nostræ profíciant et salúti.
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:
Matt 12:50
Whoever does the will of My Father in heaven, he is My brother and sister and mother, says the Lord.
Matt 12:50
Quicúmque fécerit voluntátem Patris mei, qui in cœlis est: ipse meus frater et soror et mater est, dicit Dóminus.
Grant, we beseech You, almighty God, that, by the intercession of Your Saints, we may obtain the effect of that salvation pledged to us through this sacred rite.
Through our Lord…
Quǽsumus, omnípotens Deus: ut, intercedéntibus Sanctis tuis, illíus salutáris capiámus efféctum; cujus per heec mystéria pignus accépimus.
Per Dominum…
