| Lectio Léctio Epístolæ beáti Pauli Apóstoli ad Corínthios 1 Cor 4:1-5 Fratres: Sic nos exístimet homo ut minístros Christi, et dispensatóres mysteriórum Dei. Hic iam quǽritur inter dispensatóres, ut fidélis quis inveniátur. Mihi autem pro mínimo est, ut a vobis iúdicer aut ab humano die: sed neque meípsum iudico. Nihil enim mihi cónscius sum: sed non in hoc iustificátus sum: qui autem iúdicat me, Dóminus est. Itaque nolíte ante tempus iudicáre, quoadúsque véniat Dóminus: qui et illuminábit abscóndita tenebrárum, et manifestábit consília córdium: et tunc laus erit unicuique a Deo. ℟. Deo grátias. | Lesson Lesson from the first letter of St. Paul the Apostle to the Corinthians 1 Cor. 4:1-5 Brethren: Let a man so account us, as servants of Christ and stewards of the mysteries of God. Now here it is required in stewards that a man be found trustworthy. But with me it is a very small matter to be judged by you or by man’s tribunal. Nay I do not even judge my own self. For I have nothing on my conscience, yet I am not thereby justified; but he who judges me is the Lord. Therefore, pass no judgment before the time, until the Lord comes, Who will both bring to light the things hidden in darkness and make manifest the counsels of hearts; and then everyone will have his praise from God. ℟. Thanks be to God. |
| Graduale Ps 144:18; 144:21 Prope est Dóminus ómnibus invocántibus eum: ómnibus, qui ínvocant eum in veritáte. ℣. Laudem Dómini loquétur os meum: et benedícat omnis caro nomen sanctum eius. | Gradual Ps 144:18, 20 The Lord is near to all who call upon Him, to all who call upon Him in truth. ℣. May my mouth speak the praise of the Lord, and may all flesh bless His holy name. |
| Evangelium Sequéntia + sancti Evangélii secundum Lucam ℟. Glória tibi, Dómine. Luc 3:1-6 Anno quintodécimo impérii Tibérii Cǽsaris, procuránte Póntio Piláto Iudǽam, tetrárcha autem Galilǽæ Heróde, Philíppo autem fratre eius tetrárcha Iturǽæ et Trachonítidis regionis, et Lysánia Abilínæ tetrárcha, sub princípibus sacerdotum Anna et Cáipha: factum est verbum Domini super Ioannem, Zacharíæ filium, in deserto. Et venit in omnem regiónem Iordánis, prǽdicans baptísmum pæniténtiæ in remissiónem peccatórum, sicut scriptum est in libro sermónum Isaíæ Prophétæ: Vox clamántis in desérto: Paráte viam Dómini: rectas fácite sémitas eius: omnis vallis implébitur: et omnis mons et collis humiliábitur: et erunt prava in dirécta, et áspera in vias planas: et vidébit omnis caro salutáre Dei. ℟. Laus tibi, Christe. S. Per Evangélica dicta, deleántur nostra delícta. | Gospel Continuation ✠ of the Holy Gospel according to Luke ℟. Glory be to Thee, O Lord. Luke 3:1-6 Now in the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Caesar, when Pontius Pilate was procurator of Judea, and Herod tetrarch of Galilee, and Philip his brother tetrarch of the district of Iturea and Trachonitis, and Lysanias tetrarch of Abilene, during the high priesthood of Annas and Caiphas, the word of God came to John, the son of Zachary, in the desert. And he went into all the region about the Jordan, preaching a baptism of repentance for the forgiveness of sins, as it is written in the book of the words of Isaiah the prophet, The voice of one crying in the desert, ‘Make ready the way of the Lord, make straight His paths. Every valley shall be filled, and every mountain and hill shall be brought low, and the crooked ways shall be made straight, and the rough ways smooth; and all mankind shall see the salvation of God.’ ℟. Praise be to Thee, O Christ. S. By the words of the Gospel may our sins be blotted out. |

| Prefatio de Adventu Vere dignum et iustum est, æquum et salutáre, nos tibi semper et ubíque grátias ágere: Dómine, sancte Pater, omnípotens ætérne Deus: per Christum Dóminum nostrum. Quem pérdito hóminum géneri Salvatórem miséricors et fidélis promisísti: cuius véritas instrúeret ínscios, sánctitas iustificáret ímpios, virtus adiuváret infírmos.

For You have promised Him, O faithful and merciful One, as a Saviour for the lost human race; so that His truth might instruct the ignorant, His holiness might sanctify sinners, and His power might strengthen the weak. Since, therefore, the time of His coming is near, and the day of our liberation is dawning, we trust in Your promises and exult with joyous love. And, therefore, with Angels and Archangels, with Thrones and Dominations, and with the whole host of the heavenly army, we sing a hymn to Your glory, saying without ceasing: |
| Communicántes, et memóriam venerántes, in primis gloriósæ semper Vírginis Maríæ, Genetrícis Dei et Dómini nostri Iesu Christi: sed et beáti Ioseph, eiúsdem Vírginis Sponsi, | We pray in union with and honor the memory, especially of the glorious ever Virgin Mary, mother of our God and Lord Jesus Christ: as also of the blessed Joseph, her Spouse, |

Having received Your gifts, we beseech You, O Lord, that each partaking of this sacrament may increase within us its saving effect. Through Jesus Christ, thy Son our Lord, Who liveth and reigneth with thee, in the unity of the Holy Ghost, God, world without end. ℟. Amen. |
