LATIN MASS PROPERS: QUINQUAGESIMA SUNDAY

INTROIT: Ps. 30. 3-4 Be Thou unto me a God, a protector, and a place of refuge to save me: for Thou art my strength and my refuge: and for Thy name’s sake Thou wilt lead me, and nourish me. Psalm In Thee, O Lord, have I hoped, let me never be confounded: deliver me in Thy justice, and save me. V. Glory be to the Father. COLLECT We beseech Thee, O Lord, mercifully hear our prayers, that being loosed from the bonds of our sins, we may be defended by Thee against all adversity. Through our Lord. EPISTLE: I Corinthians 13. 1-13 Brethren: If I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not charity, I am become as sounding brass or a tinkling cymbal. And if I should have prophecy, and should know all mysteries, and all knowledge; and I should have all faith so that I could remove mountains, and have not charity, I am nothing. And if I should distribute all my goods to feed the poor, and if I should deliver my body to be burned and have not charity, it profiteth me nothing. Charity is patient, is kind; Charity envieth not, dealeth not perversely, is not puffed up, is not ambitious, seeketh not her own, is not provoked to anger, thinketh no evil, rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth with the truth; beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things. Charity never falleth away; whether prophecies shall be made void, or tongues shall cease, or knowledge shall be destroyed. For we know in part, and we prophesy in part. But when that which is perfect is come, that which is in part shall be done away. When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child. But when I became a man, I put away the things of a child. We see now through a glass in a dark manner; but then face to face. Now I know in part; but then I shall know even as I am known. And now there remain faith, hope and charity, these three; but the greatest of these is charity. GRADUAL: Ps. 76. 15-16 Thou art the God that alone dost wonders: Thou hast made Thy power known among the nations. V. With Thy arm Thou hast delivered Thy people, the children of Israel and of Joseph. TRACT: Ps. 99. 1-2 Sing joyfully to God, all the earth: serve ye the Lord with gladness. V. Come be- fore His presence with exceeding great joy: know ye that the Lord He is God. V. He made us, and not we our- selves: but we are His people and the sheep of His pasture. GOSPEL: Luke 18. 31-43 AAAt that time Jesus took unto Him the twelve and said to them: Behold, we go up to Jerusalem, and all things shall be accomplished which were written by the Prophets concerning the Son of Man. For He shall be delivered to the Gentiles, and shall be mocked and scourged and spit upon: and after they have scourged Him, they will put Him to death, and the third day He shall rise again. And they understood none of these things, and this word was hid from them, and they understood not the things that were said. Now it came to pass, when He drew nigh to Jericho, that a certain blind man sat by the wayside, begging. And when he heard the multitude passing by, he asked what this meant. And they told him that Jesus of Nazareth was passing by. And he cried out, saying: Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me. And Jesus standing, commanded him to be brought unto Him. And when he was come near, He asked him, saying: What wilt thou that I do to thee? But he said: Lord, that I may see. And Jesus said unto him: Receive thy sight, thy faith hath made thee whole. And immediately he saw and followed Him, glorifying God. And all the people, when they saw it, gave praise to God. OFFERTORY: Ps. 118. 12-13 Blessed art Thou, O Lord, teach me Thy justifications: with my lips I have pronounced all the judgments of Thy mouth. SECRET May these sacrifices, we beseech Thee, O Lord, cleanse our offenses, and sanctify the bodies and minds of Thy servants for the celebration of this sacrifice. Through our Lord. COMMUNION: Ps. 77. 29-30 They did eat and were filled exceedingly, and the Lord gave them their desire: they were not defrauded of that which they craved. POSTCOMMUNION We beseech Thee, almighty God, that we who have received this heavenly nourishment, may be strengthened by it against all adversities. Through our Lord.
