Collect

Oratio

O God, Who dost every year fill us with holy gladness for the Again rising of the Lord, mercifully grant that these Feast-days which we are now keeping here in time, may be to us a mean whereby in the end we may worthily attain unto those pleasures which are at thy right hand for evermore.
Through the same Christ our Lord…

Deus, qui nos Resurrectiónis Domínicæ ánnua solemnitáte lætíficas: concéde propítius; ut per temporália festa, quæ ágimus, perveníre ad gáudia ætérna mereámur.
Per eúndem…

Epistle

Lectio

Lesson from the Acts of Apostles
Acts 3:13-15; 3:17-19
In that time, Peter opened his mouth and said: Men of Israel, and you who fear God, listen. The God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, the God of our fathers, hath glorified his Son Jesus, whom you indeed delivered up and denied before the face of Pilate, when he judged he should be released. But you denied the Holy One and the Just, and desired a murderer to be granted unto you. But the author of life you killed, whom God hath raised from the dead, of which we are witnesses. And now, brethren, I know that you did it through ignorance, as did also your rulers. But those things which God before had shewed by the mouth of all the prophets, that his Christ should suffer, he hath so fulfilled. Be penitent, therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out.

Léctio Actuum Apostolórum
Acts 3:13-15; 3:17-19
In diébus illis: Apériens Petrus os suum, dixit: Viri Israëlítæ, et qui timétis Deum, audíte. Deus Abraham et Deus Isaac et Deus Jacob, Deus patrum nostrórum, glorificávit Fílium suum Jesum, quem vos quidem tradidístis et negástis ante fáciem Piláti, judicánte illo dimítti. Vos autem sanctum et justum negástis, et petístis virum homicídam donári vobis: auctórem vero vitæ interfecístis, quem Deus suscitávit a mórtuis, cujus nos testes sumus. Et nunc, fratres, scio, quia per ignorántiam fecístis, sicut et príncipes vestri. Deus autem, quæ prænuntiávit per os ómnium Prophetárum, pati Christum suum, sic implévit. Pœnitémini ígitur et convertímini, ut deleántur peccáta vestra.

Gospel

Evangelium

Continuation ☩ of the Holy Gospel according to John
John 21:1-14
In that time, Jesus shewed himself again to the disciples at the sea of Tiberias. And he shewed himself after this manner. There were together Simon Peter, and Thomas, who is called Didymus, and Nathanael, who was of Cana of Galilee, and the sons of Zebedee, and two others of his disciples. Simon Peter saith to them: I go a fishing. They say to him: We also come with thee. And they went forth, and entered into the ship: and that night they caught nothing. But when the morning was come, Jesus stood on the shore: yet the disciples knew not that it was Jesus. Jesus therefore said to them: Children, have you any meat? They answered him: No. He saith to them: Cast the net on the right side of the ship, and you shall find. They cast therefore; and now they were not able to draw it, for the multitude of fishes. That disciple therefore whom Jesus loved, said to Peter: It is the Lord. Simon Peter, when he heard that it was the Lord, girt his coat about him, – for he was naked, – and cast himself into the sea. But the other disciples came in the ship, – for they were not far from the land, but as it were two hundred cubits, – dragging the net with fishes. As soon then as they came to land, they saw hot coals lying, and a fish laid thereon, and bread. Jesus saith to them: Bring hither of the fishes which you have now caught. Simon Peter went up, and drew the net to land, full of great fishes, one hundred and fifty-three. And although there were so many, the net was not broken. Jesus saith to them: Come, and dine. And none of them who were at meat, durst ask him: Who art thou? knowing that it was the Lord. And Jesus cometh and taketh bread, and giveth them, and fish in like manner. This is now the third time that Jesus was manifested to his disciples, after he was risen from the dead.

Sequéntia ☩ sancti Evangélii secúndum Joánnem
Joannes 21:1-14
In illo témpore: Manifestávit se íterum Jesus discípulis ad mare Tiberíadis. Manifestávit autem sic. Erant simul Simon Petrus et Thomas, qui dícitur Dídymus, et Nathánaël, qui erat a Cana Galilǽæ, et fílii Zebedǽi et álii ex discípulis ejus duo. Dicit eis Simon Petrus: Vado piscári. Dicunt ei: Venímus et nos tecum. Et exiérunt et ascendérunt in navim: et illa nocte nihil prendidérunt. Mane autem facto, stetit Jesus in lítore: non tamen cognovérunt discípuli, quia Jesus est. Dixit ergo eis Jesus: Púeri, numquid pulmentárium habétis? Respondérunt ei: Non. Dicit eis: Míttite in déxteram navígii rete, et inveniétis. Misérunt ergo: et jam non valébant illud tráhere præ multitúdine píscium. Dixit ergo discípulus ille, quem diligébat Jesus, Petro: Dóminus est. Simon Petrus cum audísset, quia Dóminus est, túnica succínxit se – erat enim nudus, – et misit se in mare. Alii autem discípuli navígio venérunt – non enim longe erant a terra, sed quasi cúbitis ducéntis, – trahéntes rete píscium. Ut ergo descendérunt in terram, vidérunt prunas pósitas, et piscem superpósitum, et panem. Dicit eis Jesus: Afférte de píscibus, quos prendidístis nunc. Ascéndit Simon Petrus, et traxit rete in terram, plenum magnis píscibus centum quinquagínta tribus. Et cum tanti essent, non est scissum rete. Dicit eis Jesus: Veníte, prandéte. Et nemo audébat discumbéntium interrogáre eum: Tu quis es? sciéntes, quia Dóminus est. Et venit Jesus, et áccipit panem, et dat eis, et piscem simíliter. Hoc jam tértio manifestátus est Jesus discípulis suis, cum resurrexísset a mórtuis.

Amidst the joys of Easter, we offer unto thee, O Lord, the sacrifice wherewith thy Church is wonderfully fed and nourished.

Preface

Prefatio

Easter
It is truly meet and just, right and for our salvation, at all times to praise Thee, O Lord, but more gloriously especially in this season (sed tempore Passionis)
on this night (sed octava Paschæ)
on this day when Christ our Pasch was sacrificed. For He is the Lamb Who hath taken away the sins of the world: Who by dying hath destroyed our death: and by rising again hath restored us to life. 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:

Paschalis
Vere dignum et justum est, æquum et salutáre: Te quidem, Dómine, omni témpore, sed in hoc potíssimum (sed tempore Passionis)
hac potíssimum nocte (sed octava Paschæ)
hac potíssimum die gloriósius prædicáre, cum Pascha nostrum immolátus est Christus. Ipse enim verus est Agnus, qui ábstulit peccáta mundi. Qui mortem nostram moriéndo destrúxit et vitam resurgéndo reparávit. Et ídeo cum Angelis et Archángelis, cum Thronis et Dominatiónibus cumque omni milítia cœléstis exércitus hymnum glóriæ tuæ cánimus, sine fine dicéntes:
