Introit 

Ps. 118: 75 and 120

Cognóvi, Dómine, quia æquitas judícia tua, et in veritáte tua humiliásti me:  confíge timóre tuo carnes meas, a mandátis tuis tímui.

I know, O Lord, that thy judgments are right, and that thou of very faithfulness hast afflicted me.  Make thou my flesh to tremble for fear of thee; for I am afraid of thy judgments.

Ps.  118:1. 

Beáti immaculáti in via:  qui ámbulant in lege Dómini.

Blessed are those that are undefiled in the way, and walk in the law of the Lord.

The Collect

Tuórum corda fidélium, Deus miserátor, illústra: et, beátæ Elísabeth précibus gloriósis; fac nos próspera mundi despícere, et cælésti semper consolatióne gaudére. Per Dóminum nostrum Jesum Christum Fílium tuum, qui tecum vivit et regnat in unitáte Spíritus Sancti Deus, per ómnia sæcula sæculórum.

Merciful Lord, we pray thee to pour the bright beams of thy grace into our hearts: that, by the glorious prayers of thy blessed Elisabeth; we may learn to despise all worldly prosperity, and ever to rejoice in all heavenly consolation.  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.

Second Collect of St. Pontianus, PM

Gregem tuum, Pastor ætérne, placátus inténde: et per beátum Pontiánum Mártyrem tuum atque Summum Pontíficem, perpétua protectióne custódi; quem totíus Ecclésiæ præstitísti esse pastórem.  Per Dóminum nostrum Jesum Christum Fílium tuum, qui tecum vivit et regnat in unitáte Spíritus Sancti Deus, per ómnia sæcula sæculórum.

O eternal Shepherd, do thou look favorably upon thy flock, which we beseech thee to guard and keep for evermore through the Blessed Pontianus thy Martyr and Supreme Pontiff, whom thou didst choose to be the chief shepherd of the whole Church.  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.

The Epistle

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 apprehénderent 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 tradidit Chananaeo. 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: mulier timens Dóminum, ipsa laudábitur. Date ei de fructu mánuum suárum, et laudent eam in portis ópera ejus.

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.

The Gradual and Alleluia

Ps. 44: 3 & 6

Diffúsa est grátia in lábiis tuis: proptérea benedíxit te Deus in ætérnum.

Full of grace are thy lips, therefore hath God blessed thee for ever.

V.  Propter veritátem, et mansuetúdinem, et justítiam:  et dedúcet te mirabíliter déxtera tua.

V.  Because of truth, of meekness, and righteousness; and thy right hand shall wondrously lead thee.

Ps. 44: 5

Allelúja, allelúja.  Spécie tua, et pulchritúdine tua inténde, próspere procéde, et regna.  Alleluia.

Alleluia, alleluia.  In thy comeliness, yea in thy beauty: go forth, ride prosperously, and reign.  Alleluia.

The Gospel

Matth 13:44-52

In illo témpore: Dixit Jesus discípulis suis parábolam hanc: Símile est regnum coelórum thesáuro abscóndito in agro: quem qui invénit homo, abscóndit, et præ gáudio illíus vadit, et vendit univérsa, quæ habet, et emit agrum illum. Iterum símile est regnum coelórum homini negotiatóri, quærénti bonas margarítas. Invénta autem una pretiósa margaríta, ábiit, et véndidit ómnia, quæ hábuit, et emit eam. Iterum símile est regnum coelórum sagénæ, missæ in mare et ex omni génere píscium cóngreganti. Quam, cum impléta esset educéntes, et secus litus sedéntes, elegérunt bonos in vasa, malos autem foras misérunt. Sic erit in consummatióne saeculi: exíbunt Angeli, et separábunt malos de médio justórum, et mittent eos in camínum ignis: ibi erit fletus et stridor déntium. Intellexístis hæc ómnia? Dicunt ei: Etiam. Ait illis: Ideo omnis scriba doctus in regno coelórum símilis est hómini patrifamílias, qui profert de thesáuro suo nova et vétera.

At that time, Jesus spoke this parable to His disciples: The kingdom of heaven is like a treasure hidden in a field; he who finds it hides it, and in his joy goes and sells all that he has and buys that field. Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant in search of fine pearls. When he finds a single pearl of great price, he goes and sells all that he has and buys it. Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a net cast into the sea that gathered in fish of every kind. When it was filled, they hauled it out, and sitting down on the beach, they gathered the good fish into vessels and threw away the bad. So will it be at the end of the world. The angels will go out and separate the wicked from the among the just, and will cast them into the furnace of fire, where there will be the weeping, and the gnashing of teeth. Have you understood all these things? They said to Him, Yes. And He said to them, So then, every Scribe instructed in the kingdom of heaven is like a householder who brings forth from his storeroom things new and old.

The Offertory

Ps. 44: 3

Diffúsa est grátia in lábiis tuis:  proptérea benedíxit te Deus in ætérnum, et in saéculum sæculi.

Full of grace are thy lips,  therefore hath God blessed thee for ever, yea for ever and ever.

The Secret:

Accépta tibi sit, Dómine, sacrátæ plebis oblátio pro tuórum honóre Sanctórum: quorum se méritis de tribulatióne percepísse cognóscit auxílium. Per Dóminum nostrum Jesum Christum Fílium tuum, qui tecum vivit et regnat in unitáte ejúsdem Spíritus Sancti, Deus, per omnia sæcula sæculórum.

May the Sacrifice of thy holy people be acceptable unto thee, O Lord, for the honour of thy Saints:  through whose merits they know that they have received help in tribulation.  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.

Second Secret Prayer of St. Pontianus, PM

Oblátis munéribus, quæsumus Dómine, Ecclésiam tuam benígnus illúmina: ut, et gregis tui profíciat ubíque succéssus, et grati fiant nómini tuo, te gubernánte, pastóres. Per Dóminum nostrum, Jesum Christum, Fílium tuum, qui tecum vivit et regnat in unitáte Spíritus Sancti, Deus, By the offered gifts we beg thee, O Lord: enlighten kindly thy Church: so that thy flock everywhere may be increased, and the Shepherds, under thy direction, may be pleasing to thy Name.

Thou hast loved righteousness, and hated iniquity:  wherefore God, even thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness.

The Postcommunion

Satiásti, Dómine, famíliam tuam munéribus sacris: ejus, quaésumus, semper interventióne nos réfove, cujus solémnia celebrámus. Per Dóminum nostrum Jesum Christum Fílium tuum, qui tecum vivit et regnat in unitáte Spíritus Sancti, Deus, per ómnia sæcula sæculórum. 

Thou hast filled thy household, O Lord, with holy gifts:  ever cherish us through the intercession of her whose festival we are keeping.  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. Pontianus, PM

Refectióne sancta enutrítam gubérna, quæsumus Dómine, tuam placátus Ecclésiam: ut poténti moderatióne dirécta, et increménta libertátis accípiat et in religiónis integritáte persístat. Per Dóminum nostrum, Jesum Christum, Fílium tuum, qui tecum vivit et regnat in unitáte Spíritus Sancti, Deus, per ómnia sæcula sæculórum.

O Lord, we beseech Thee, graciously govern Thy Church, which Thou hast fed with a holy meal; so that, directed by a mighty wisdom, she may progress in liberty, and persist in the integrity of faith.  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.


From Maria Angela´s Mass Propers.

Denúncia do santo Padre Pio de Pietrelcina.

Religiosos membros da maçonaria: denúncia do santo Padre Pio de Pietrelcina

O ímpio século XX teve dois grandiosíssimos santos, ambos franciscanos: o polonês São Maximiliano Maria Kolbe e o italiano São Pio de Pietrelcina, ou Padre Pio, como é popularmente conhecido.

Eles sempre denunciaram a maior organização criada pelos filhos das trevas para corromper as almas: a maçonaria.

O combate de São Maximiliano Maria Kolbe a essa seita é conhecido de seus verdadeiros devotos. Quanto  ao Santo Padre Pio, muitos só falam de seu hospital para cuidar dos doentes, como se ele não passasse de  “um bom velhinho”, esquecendo ou omitindo suas denúncias contra a maçonaria que, no decorrer dos séculos, vem destruindo na sociedade a noção de civilização cristã, do bem e do mal, do certo e do errado.

  Cumpre frisar que embora muitas pessoas não façam parte dos planos da maçonaria ou sejam membros desta, se possuírem um espirito revolucionário, igualitário, a favor do comunismo, da destruição da propriedade privada, do divorcio, do aborto e das práticas homossexuais, acabam por se filiar indiretamente a essa seita.

    É muito conhecida a denúncia de São Kolbe aos embustes demoníacos da seita maçônica, feitos a  pessoas da sociedade temporal (governantes em geral). O Padre Pio, por sua vez, denuncia os religiosos que fazem parte da referida seita, como veremos a seguir, em carta que ele escreveu ao seu diretor espiritual, a qual dispensa comentários:

"Meu caríssimo Padre,

Na sexta-feira pela manhã, eu ainda estava na cama quando Jesus me apareceu. Estava todo maltratado e desfigurado. Ele me mostrou uma grande multidão de sacerdotes regulares e seculares, entre os quais vários dignitários eclesiásticos; destes, uns estavam celebrando, outros falando, e outros se despindo das vestes sagradas.

Como a visita de Jesus angustiado causava-me muita dor, eu quis Lhe perguntar por que Ele sofria tanto. Não obtive resposta. Contudo, seu olhar recaiu sobre aqueles sacerdotes; mas, pouco depois, quase como se estivesse horrorizado e cansado de ver, Ele retirou o olhar e, quando o pousou sobre mim, com grande horror observei duas lágrimas que Lhe sulcavam  o rosto. Ele se afastou daquela multidão de sacerdotes com uma grande expressão de desgosto em seu rosto, gritando: "Açougueiros!".

E voltando-se para mim, disse: “Meu filho, não creia que minha agonia durou apenas três horas, não; Eu estarei, por causa das almas mais beneficiadas por Mim, em agonia até o fim do mundo. Durante o tempo de minha agonia, meu filho, não se deve dormir. Minha alma vai à procura de qualquer gota de piedade humana, mas ai daqueles que me deixam sozinho sob o peso da indiferença. A ingratidão e o sono dos meus ministros tornam mais aguda a minha agonia.

Ai daqueles que correspondem mal ao Meu amor! E o que mais Me aflige e custa, é que à indiferença eles somam o desprezo, a incredulidade. Quantas vezes estive para fulminá-los, se não fosse impedido pelos anjos e pelas almas que Me veneram... Escreva ao seu diretor espiritual e narra-lhe tudo o que viu e ouviu de Mim esta manhã. Diga a ele que mostre sua carta ao Padre provincial...”

 Jesus ainda continuou, mas o que me disse jamais poderei revelar a nenhuma criatura deste mundo. Esta aparição causou-me tanta dor no corpo, e mais ainda na alma, que durante todo o dia fiquei prostrado e achei que ia morrer, se o dulcíssimo Jesus já não me tivesse revelado...

 Jesus tem infelizmente razão de lamentar de nossa ingratidão! Quantos de nossos irmãos desgraçados não correspondem ao amor de Jesus lançando-se de braços abertos na infame seita da Maçonaria! Oremos para  que o Senhor ilumine suas almas e toque seus corações.”

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.

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.

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.

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.

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,

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.

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.

The Epistle

Judith 13:22-25; 15:10

 [22] Universi autem adorantes Dominum, dixerunt ad eam: Benedixit te Dominus in virtute sua, quia per te ad nihilum redegit inimicos nostros. [23] Porro Ozias princeps populi Israel dixit ad eam: Benedicta es tu, filia, a Domino Deo excelso prae omnibus mulieribus super terram. [24] Benedictus Dominus, qui creavit caelum et terram, qui te direxit in vulnera capitis principis inimicorum nostrorum: [25] quia hodie nomen tuum ita magnificavit, ut non recedat laus tua de ore hominum, qui memores fuerint virtutis Domini in aeternum, pro quibus non pepercisti animae tuae propter angustias et tribulationem generis tui, sed subvenisti ruinae ante conspectum Dei nostri. [10] Quae cum exisset ad illum, benedixerunt eam omnes una voce, dicentes: Tu gloria Jerusalem; tu laetitia Israel; tu honorificentia populi nostri:

 [22] And they all adored the Lord, and said to her: The Lord hath blessed thee by his power, because by thee he hath brought our enemies to nought. [23] And Ozias the prince of the people of Israel, said to her: Blessed art thou, O daughter, by the Lord the most high God, above all women upon the earth. [24] Blessed be the Lord who made heaven and earth, who hath directed thee to the cutting off the head of the prince of our enemies. [25] Because he hath so magnified thy name this day, that thy praise shall not depart out of the mouth of men who shall be mindful of the power of the Lord for ever, for that thou hast not spared thy life, by reason of the distress and tribulation of thy people, but hast prevented our ruin in the presence of our God.
 [10] And when she was come out to him, they all blessed her with one voice, saying: Thou art the glory of Jerusalem, thou art the joy of Israel, thou art the honour of our people:

The Gospel

Luke 1: 41-50

[41] Et factum est, ut audivit salutationem Mariae Elisabeth, exsultavit infans in utero ejus: et repleta est Spiritu Sancto Elisabeth: [42] et exclamavit voce magna, et dixit: Benedicta tu inter mulieres, et benedictus fructus ventris tui. [43] Et unde hoc mihi, ut veniat mater Domini mei ad me? [44] Ecce enim ut facta est vox salutationis tuae in auribus meis, exsultavit in gaudio infans in utero meo. [45] Et beata, quae credidisti, quoniam perficientur ea, quae dicta sunt tibi a Domino.

[46] Et ait Maria: Magnificat anima mea Dominum: [47] et exsultavit spiritus meus in Deo salutari meo. [48] Quia respexit humilitatem ancillae suae: ecce enim ex hoc beatam me dicent omnes generationes, [49] quia fecit mihi magna qui potens est: et sanctum nomen ejus, [50] et misericordia ejus a progenie in progenies timentibus eum.


[41] And it came to pass, that when Elizabeth heard the salutation of Mary, the infant leaped in her womb. And Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Ghost: [42] And she cried out with a loud voice, and said: Blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb. [43] And whence is this to me, that the mother of my Lord should come to me? [44] For behold as soon as the voice of thy salutation sounded in my ears, the infant in my womb leaped for joy. [45] And blessed art thou that hast believed, because those things shall be accomplished that were spoken to thee by the Lord.

[46] And Mary said: My soul doth magnify the Lord. [47] And my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Saviour. [48] Because he hath regarded the humility of his handmaid; for behold from henceforth all generations shall call me blessed. [49] Because he that is mighty, hath done great things to me; and holy is his name. [50] And his mercy is from generation unto generations, to them that fear him.

Inimicítias ponam inter te et mulíerem, et semen tuum et Semen illíus. 

I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed.

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.  Through Jesus Christ thy Son our Lord, who liveth and reigneth with thee, in the unity of the Holy Ghost, ever one God.

Brethren: I reckon that the sufferings of this time are not worthy to be compared with the glory to come that shall be revealed in us. For the expectation of the creature waiteth for the revelation of the sons of God. For the creature was made subject to vanity: not willingly, but by reason of him that made it subject, in hope. Because the creature also itself shall be delivered from the servitude of corruption, into the liberty of the glory of the children of God. For we know that every creature groaneth and travaileth in pain, even till now. And not only it, but ourselves also, who have the firstfruits of the Spirit: even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for the adoption of the sons of God, the redemption of our body.

 lake of Genesareth, And saw two ships standing by the lake: but the fishermen were gone out of them and were washing their nets. And going into one of the ships that was Simon's, he desired him to draw back a little from the land. And sitting, he taught the multitudes out of the ship. Now when he had ceased to speak, he said to Simon: "Launch out into the deep and let down your nets for a draught." 

And Simon answering said to him: "Master, we have laboured all the night and have taken nothing: but at thy word I will let down the net." And when they had done this, they enclosed a very great multitude of fishes: and their net broke. And they beckoned to their partners that were in the other ship, that they should come and help them. And they came and filled both the ships, so that they were almost sinking.

Which when Simon Peter saw, he fell down at Jesus' knees, saying: "Depart from me, for I am a sinful man, O Lord." For he was wholly astonished, and all that were with him, at the draught of the fishes which they had taken. And so were also James and John, the sons of Zebedee, who were Simon's partners. And Jesus saith to Simon: "Fear not: from henceforth thou shalt catch men." And having brought their ships to land, leaving all things, they followed him.

O demônio existe mesmo? O que diz o Papa Francisco?

O Papa Francisco confirma o que todos os papas e santos da Igreja já disseram: o demônio existe ( 11-10-2013, Gaudium Press). 

O Papa Francisco alertou sobre os riscos que o demônio pode trazer para nossas vidas. Baseando-se no Evangelho onde Jesus expulsa o demônio, o Papa afirmou que a presença do inimigo no mundo "é real e não uma fábula", ressaltando que o Evangelho nos mostra que "os cristãos devem sempre estar alertas contra o maligno". Ele disse: "Alguns padres, quando leem esta passagem, ou outras, dizem que Jesus curou aquela pessoa de uma doença mental. 

É verdade que antigamente se podia confundir epilepsia com estar possuído pelo demônio, mas é igualmente verdade que o demônio existe! A presença do demônio está na primeira página da Bíblia e também no final, com a vitória de Deus sobre ele". Para resistir às tentações do inimigo, o Papa aconselhou três caminhos: "não confundir a verdade", pois "Jesus luta contra o diabo; e este é o primeiro critério". 

O demônio é o pai da mentira, e quando mente fala daquilo que lhe é próprio”, disse Jesus (João 8,44). São João diz que “Jesus veio ao mundo para destruir a obra do demônio” (1 João 3,8). Como, então, negar que ele não existe e que não age? O segundo caminho indicado pelo Papa seria seguir fielmente a Cristo, pois "quem não está com Jesus está contra Jesus". 

O terceiro é a vigilância do nosso coração: "porque o demônio é astuto e nunca é expulso para sempre". “Vigiai e orai, pois o espírito é forte mas a carne é fraca”. Para que os cristãos não sejam "ingênuos", o Pontífice explicou a estratégia do diabo: ele diz "Você é cristão, tem Fé, vai adiante que eu não volto. Mas depois, quando você está acostumado e se sente seguro, ele volta". 

Francisco disse que "O Evangelho de hoje [11-10-13] começa com o demônio expulso e termina com o demônio voltando! É como um leão feroz, que nos circunda. Isto não é mentira". Ele tentou até mesmo Jesus; São Pedro disse que ele é como “um leão que ruge a nosso redor buscando a quem possa devorar” (1 Pedro 5,8) O Papa ainda alentou: "Peçamos a Ele (Jesus) a graça de levar a sério estas coisas. 

Ele veio lutar por nossa salvação e venceu o demônio! Não façamos negócios com o demônio; ele tenta voltar para casa, se apoderar de nós. Não devemos relativizar, mas vigiar, sempre e com Jesus".
