Introit
Ps. 54
Cum clamárem ad Dóminum, exaudívit vocem meam, ab his, qui appropínquant mihi: et humiliávit eos, qui est ante sǽcula et manet in ætérnum: jacta cogitátum tuum in Dómino, et ipse te enútriet.
When I called upon the Lord, he heard my voice, even from the battle that was aginast me: yea, even God that endureth for ever shall hear me, and bring them down: O cast thy burden upon the Lord, and he shall nourish thee.
Exáudi, Deus, oratiónem meam, et ne despéxeris deprecatiónem meam: inténde mihi et exáudi me.
Save me, O God, for thy Name's sake, and avenge me in thy strength.
The Collects
Deus, qui omnipoténtiam tuam parcéndo máxime et miserándo maniféstas: multíplica super nos misericórdiam tuam; ut ad tua promíssa curréntes, cæléstium bonórum fácias esse consórtes. Per Dóminum nostrum Jesum Christum Fílium tuum, qui tecum vivit et regnat in unitáte Spíritus Sancti Deus, per ómnia sæcula sæculórum.
O God, who declarest thine Almighty power most chiefly in shewing mercy and pity, mercifully grant unto us such a measure of thy grace, that we, running the way of thy commandments, may obtain thy gracious promises, and be made partakers of thy heavenly treasure. Through Jesus Christ thy Son our Lord, who liveth and reigneth with thee, in the unity of the Holy Ghost, ever one God, world without end.
Collect of St. Hyacinth
O God who dost gladden us by the annual solemnity of blessed Hyacinth, Thy confessor, mercifully grant that we who celebrate his heavenly birthday may also imitate his example.
Collect for the Octave of the Assumption:
Omnípotens sempitérne Deus, qui Immaculátam Vírginem Maríam, Fílii tui Genitrícem, córpore et ánima ad cæléstem glóriam assumpsísti: concéde, quæsumus; ut ad supérna semper inténti, ipsíus glóriæ mereámur esse consórtes. Per eúmdem Dóminum nostrum Jesum Christum Fílium tuum, qui tecum vivit et regnat in unitáte Spíritus Sancti Deus, per ómnia sæcula sæculórum.
Almighty and everlasting God, who hast taken up into heavenly glory both the body and soul of the Mother of thy Son, the immaculate Virgin Mary: grant, we beseech thee; that we may in such wise set our affections on things above; that we may finally attain unto fellowship with her in glory. Through the same Jesus Christ thy Son our Lord, who liveth and reigneth with thee, in the unity of the Holy Ghost, ever one God, world without end.
Collect for the Octave Day of St. Lawrence.
Excita, Domine, in Ecclesia tua Spiritum, cui beatus Laurentius Levita servivit: ut, eodem nos repleti, studeamus amare quod amavit, et opere exercere quod docuit.
Stir up within Thy Church, O Lord, the Spirit which blessed Laurence Thy deacon obeyed: that therewith we too may be filled and may strive to love what he loved and may put in practice what he taught.
The Epistle
I Cor. 12: 2-11
Fratres: Scitis, quóniam, cum gentes essétis, ad simulácra muta prout ducebámini eúntes. Ideo notum vobis fácio, quod nemo in Spíritu Dei loquens, dicit anáthema Jesu. Et nemo potest dícere, Dóminus Jesus, nisi in Spíritu Sancto. Divisiónes vero gratiárum sunt, idem
autem Spíritus. Et divisiónes ministratiónum sunt, idem autem Dóminus. Et divisiónes operatiónum sunt, idem vero Deus, qui operátur ómnia in ómnibus. Unicuíque autem datur manifestátio Spíritus ad utilitátem. Alii quidem per Spíritum datur sermo sapiéntiæ álii autem sermo sciéntiæ secúndum eúndem Spíritum: álteri fides in eódem Spíritu: álii grátia sanitátum in uno Spíritu: álii operátio virtútum, álii prophétia, álii discrétio spirítuum, álii génera linguárum, álii interpretátio sermónum. Hæc autem ómnia operátur unus atque idem Spíritus, dívidens síngulis, prout vult.
Brethren: Ye know that ye were Gentiles, carried away unto these dumb idols, even as ye were led. Wherefore I give you to understand, that no man speaking by the Spirit of God calleth Jesus accursed: and that no man can say that Jesus is the Lord, but by the Holy Ghost. Now there are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit. And there are differences of administrations, but the same Lord. And there are diversities of operations, but it is the same God which worketh all in all. But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to every man to profit withal. For to one is given by the Spirit the word of wisdom; to another the word of knowledge by the same Spirit; to another faith by the same Spirit; to another the gifts of healing by the same Spirit; to another the working of miracles; to another prophecy; to another discerning of spirits; to another divers kinds of tongues; to another the interpretation of tongues: but all these worketh that one and the selfsame Spirit, dividing to every man severally as he will.
The Gradual and Alleluia
Ps. 16: 9-10 and 3
Custódi me, Dómine, ut pupíllam óculi: sub umbra alárum tuárum prótege me.
Keep me as the apple of an eye: hide me under the shadow of thy wings.
V. De vultu tuo judícium meum pródeat: óculi tui vídeant æquitátem.
V. Let my sentence come forth from thy presence; and let thine eyes look upon the thing that is equal.
Ps. 64: 1
Allelúja, allelúja. Te decet hymnus, Deus, in Sion: et tibi redde tu votum in Jerúsalem. Allelúja.
Alleluia, alleluia. Thou art worthy to be praised, O God, in Sion; and a vow shall be paid thee in Jerusalem. Alleluia.
The Gospel
Luke 18: 9-14
In illo témpore: Dixit Jesus ad quosdam, qui in se confidébant tamquam justi et aspernabántur céteros, parábolam istam: Duo hómines ascendérunt in templum, ut orárent: unus pharisǽus, et alter publicánus. Pharisǽus stans, hæc apud se orábat: Deus, grátias ago tibi, quia non sum sicut céteri hóminum: raptóres, injústi, adúlteri: velut étiam hic publicánus. Jejúno bis in sábbato: décimas do ómnium, quæ possídeo. Et publicánus a longe stans nolébat nec óculos ad cælum leváre: sed percutiébat pectus suum, dicens: Deus, propítius esto mihi peccatóri. Dico vobis: descéndit hic justificátus in domum suam ab illo: quia omnis qui se exáltat, humiliábitur: et qui se humíliat, exaltábitur.
At that time, Jesus spake this parable unto certain which trusted in themselves that they were righteous, and despised others: Two men went up into the temple to pray; the one a Pharisee, and the other a publican. The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself, God, I thank thee, that I am not as other men are, extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even as this publican. I fast twice in the week, I give tithes of all that I possess. And the publican, standing afar off, would not lift up so much as his eyes unto heaven, but smote upon his breast, saying, God be merciful to me a sinner. I tell you, this man went down to his house justified rather than the other: for every one that exalteth himself shall be abased; and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted.
Offertory
Ps. 24: 1-2
Ad te, Dómine, levávi ánimam meam: Deus meus, in te confído, non erubéscam: neque irrídeant me inimíci mei: étenim univérsi, qui te exspéctant, non confundéntur.
Unto thee, O Lord, have I lifted up my soul: my God, in thee do I trust, O let me not be confounded. Neither let mine enemies triumph over me: for all they that hope in thee shall not be confounded.
The Secret:
Tibi, Dómine, sacrifícia dicáta reddántur: quæ sic ad honórem nóminis tui deferénda tribuísti, ut éadem remédia fíeri nostra præstáres. Per Dóminum nostrum Jesum Christum Fílium tuum, qui tecum vivit et regnat, in unitáte Spíritus Sancti, Deus, per omnia sæcula sæculórum. Amen.
O Lord, who hast instituted this sacrifice to be a remembrance of the effectual continuance of the work of our redemption: grant, we pray thee, that we may ever be enabled by thee to draw near in worthiness unto these thy mysteries. Through Jesus Christ, thy Son, our Lord, who liveth and reigneth with thee, in the unity of the Holy Ghost, ever one God, world without end. Amen.
Second Secret Prayer of St. Hyacinth, C
Laudis tibi, Dómine, hóstias immolámus in tuórum commemoratióne Sanctórum: quibus nos et præséntibus éxui malis confídimus, et futúris.
In memory of thy Saints, O Lord, we offer thee the sacrifice of praise, by which we trust to be freed from both present and future evils.
Third Secret Prayer of the Octave of the Assumption
Ascéndat ad te, Dómine, nostræ devotiónis oblátio, et, beatíssima Vírgine María in cælum assúmpta intercedénte, corda nostra, caritátis igne succénsa, ad te júgiter adspírent.
May the offering of our devotion rise up unto thee, O Lord, and by the intercession of the most blessed Virgin Mary, who hath been assumed into heaven, may our hearts, burning with the fire of charity, aspire continually to be united with thee.
Fourth Secret Prayer of the Octave Day of St. Lawrence, Archdeacon of Rome, M
Sacrifícium nostrum tibi, Dómine, quæsumus, beáti Lauréntii precátio sancta concíliet: ut, cujus honóre solémniter exhibétur, ejus méritis efficiátur accéptum. Per Dóminum nostrum Jesum Christum Fílium tuum, qui tecum vivit et regnat in unitáte Spíritus Sancti, Deus,
O Lord, we pray thee that the devout prayers of blessed Lawrence may commend our sacrifice unto thee: that this bounden oblation which we offer in his honour, may by his merits be rendered acceptable in thy sight. Through Jesus Christ, thy Son our Lord, who liveth and reigneth with thee, in the unity of the Holy Ghost, ever one God,
Communion:
Ps. 50: 20
Acceptábis sacrificium justítiæ, oblatiónes et holocáusta, super altáre tuum, Dómine.
Thou shalt be pleased with the sacrifice of righteousness, with the burnt-offerings and oblations upon thine altar, O Lord.
The Postcommunion
Quǽsumus, Dómine, Deus noster: ut, quos divínis reparáre non désinis sacraméntis, tuis non destítuas benígnus auxíliis. Per Dóminum nostrum Jesum Christum Fílium tuum, qui tecum vivit et regnat in unitáte Spíritus Sancti, Deus, per ómnia sæcula sæculórum.
Grant, O Lord, we pray thee: that this holy Communion, which we have received, may cleanse us from all our sins, and bestow upon us unity and concord. Through Jesus Christ, thy Son our Lord, who liveth and reigneth with thee, in the unity of the Holy Ghost, ever one God, world without end.
Second Postcommunion of St. Hyacinth, C
Refécti cibo potúque cælésti, Deus noster, te súpplices exorámus: ut, in cujus hæc commemoratióne percépimus, ejus muniámur et précibus.
We who are refreshed by heavenly meat and drink, humbly entreat thee, O our God, that we may be defended by the prayers of him in whose memory we have received them.
Third Postcommunion of the Octave of the Assumption
Sumptis, Dómine, salutáribus sacraméntis: da, quæsumus; ut, méritis et intercessióne beátæ Maríæ in cælum assúmptæ, ad resurrectiónis glóriam perducámur.
Having received these salutary sacraments, O Lord, we pray thee, that by the intercession and merits of the Blessed Virgin Mary assumed into heaven, we may be brought unto the glory of the Resurrection.
Fourth Postcommunion of the Octave Day of St. Lawrence, Archdeacon of Rome
Súpplices te rogámus, omnípotens Deus: ut, quos donis cæléstibus satiásti, intercedénte beáto Lauréntio Mártyre tuo, perpétua protectióne custódias. Per Dóminum nostrum Jesum Christum Fílium tuum, qui tecum vivit et regnat in unitáte ejúsdem Spíritus Sancti, Deus, per ómnia sæcula sæculórum.
We humbly beseech thee, O Almighty God, that we, whom thou hast fulfilled with thy heavenly gifts, may, by the intercession of blessed Lawrence thy Martyr, receive the perpetual succour of thy protection. Through Jesus Christ, thy Son our Lord, who liveth and reigneth with thee, in the unity of the same Holy Ghost, ever one God, world without end.
