Introduction
by
Reb. F. X. Lasante

HIcH is the best way of assisting at Mass? In his in-

troduction to "Prayers for Holy Communion from the

Sarum Missal" Bishop Riddell of Northampton makes the
following reply to this question:

"Of the many ways of assisting at Mass, the best way 1s
that in which each person, by saying the words of the
Missal more closely, allies and associates himself with the
priest who is celebrating. 'To identify one's self thus with
him is to unite with our divine Lord Himself, Who is there and
then acting as the Priest according to the order of Melchise-
dech.

“When the faithful thus act with the celebrant, and with
the High Priest, Jesus Christ, then, indeed, is it true that
they are, as St. Peter says, a holy priesthood to offer up spir-
itual sacrifices acceptable to God by Jesus Christ.

“If so, what a pity it is so few make use of the Missal!

“All books of devotion are good at Mass; it is quite right to
say the rosary at Mass; but the Missal is preferable, being
pre-eminently the product of the mind and heart of the
Church, filled &nd expressed with reverence and love for the
divine Victim, Who day by day, in every part of the. world,
sacrifices Himself again for the glory of His Father, and for
the salvation of souls.

"It is pre-eminently the Book for Mass, as its name implies,
and nothing can exceed the beauty of the Collects and other
prayers.

“Qladly, therefore, would I see the Missal more frequentiy
in the hands of the faithful. The young should be taught
how to use it. The hearing of daily Mass, the love of the
Church's liturgy, and the use of the Missal, will all help to a
more thorough Catholic piety.”

The HMlass-Book Par Excellence

There are, indeed, many excellent Mass-books, but the
Mass-book par excellence is the Mass-book of the Church,
the Roman Missal. Its regular use is to be recommended for
this reason, also, that we are thereby made familiar with and
almost imperceptibly led to make devout reflections upon the
inspired writings, notably the Psalms, of which it contains so
Many apt and beautiful citations,

INTRODUCTION 9

The Psalms. How well adapted to every festival, and every
occasion of joy and thanksgiving, are the numerous psalms of
praise! As we read in the Crown of Jesus: “The Psalms have
a three-fold claim to our veneration—as the prayer of David—
the prayer of Jesus Christ—and the prayer of the Church.
Even, humanly speaking, the prayer of David would be the
prayer of every grade of life, of every spiritual necessity. The
Shepherd's youngest Son, 'small in stature, ruddy and beautiful
to behold, and of a comely face, becomes the champion, the
hero, and the sovereign of the chosen people. The changing
Scenes of his life display the beauty and constancy of friend-
Ship, the pangs of ingratitude, the grandeur of piety, the.sim- .
plicity of its manifestation, the loss of virtue, the agony of
remorse, and the fervor of that contrition which, amidst the
plaintive melodies of the psaltery, poured itself forth in those
deep, thrilling accents of sorrow which, to the end of our
wayward history, must form the sad language of penance.
Therefore, in the prayer of David, every one who suffers,
every one wbo rejoices, every one who is tempted, or falls,
or repents, will be able to breathe forth his thoughts, his hopes,
his praises, his desires, in strains of inspired poetry. But, as
we learn from the New Testament, David is both a prophet
and a type of Jesus Christ, and the ‘prayer of David’ is there-
fore also the Prayer of Jesus Christ. Our Lord quoted the
Psalms and applied them to Himself, He used them as His own
prayers, He sung them with His apostles, and on the cross, just
before He gave up the ghost, He cried with a loud voice those
words of the Compline Psalm, which in His sacred childhood
He had heard chanted in the temple of Jerusalem, “In manus
tuas commendo spiritum meum.— Into Thy hands I commend
My spirit.’ "

“It.is nearly three thousand years," writes Frederick Oza-
nam, in reference to the Psalms, “since a king composed those
songs in his days of repentance and desolation; and we still
find in them the expression of our deepest anguish, and the
consolation of our sorrows. ‘The priest recites them daily;
thousands of monasteries have been founded, in order that
these psalms might be chanted at every hour, and that this
voice of supplication might never be silent. The Gospel alone
is superior to the hymns of David, and this only because it
is. their fulfilment, because all the yearnings, all the ardors,
all the holy impatience of the prophet find their accomplish-
ment in the Redeemer,”

The Liturgical Books. In her admirable little work,
Ideals in Practice, the Countess Zamoyska very earnestly in-
culcates the use of the Roman Missal and greater familiarity
with the liturgical books of the Church: “As children of the
Catholic Church we must endeavor to lead her life, not as

passing guests, but as members of the family, understanding
her ceremonies and functions, united with her in mind and in
spirit, We should know the day of the celebration of each of
her feasts, and all that relates to it, understand each part of
the Mass and the meaning of the objects of our worship, and
use the prayers of the liturgy.

*In that great treasury, in which the wise householder has
Stored up for her children things new and old, we find
prayers for every occasion and for every moment—prayers of
adoration, of thanksgiving, of contrition, and of impetration.”

His Holiness, Pius X on the use of the Missal. In con-
nection with the work of the reform of the various liturgical
books, Pope Pius X of blessed memory most earnestly and
repeatedly expressed his hope and his desire that the Roman
Missal be used more commonly by the faithful of all classes in
their attendance at Mass. Religious, and in particular Re-
ligious teachers, can do much to make this saintly Pope's
recommendation a reality, not only by using the Missal them-
Selves, in their daily attendance at Mass, but also by explaining
it to those under their charge, and by opportunely urging its
use upon all who come under their influence.

The Liturgy

The prayers and canticles of the Church are prompted
by the Holy Spirit. The Divine Spirit dwells in the Church
ever since the day of Pentecost, and He it is that prompts
her prayers and her canticles. As Dom Prosper Guéranger
says in The Liturgical Year: “Under the impulse of that
Spirit which animated the admirable Psalmist and the
prophets, the holy Church, at one time, takes the subject of
her canticles from the Books of the Old Testament; at an-
other time, showing herself to be the daughter of and sister
of the holy apostles, she intones the canticles written in the
Books of the New Covenant; and finally, remembering that
she, too, has had.given to her the trumpet and harp, she at
times gives way to the Spirit which animates her, and sings
her own new Canticle. From these three sources comes the
divine element which.we call the liturgy.

“The prayer of the Church is, therefore, the most pleasing
to the ear and heart of God, and consequently the most ef-
cacious of all prayers. Happy, then, is he who prays with
the Church, and unites his own petitions with those of this
Bride, who is so dear to her Lord that He gives her all she
asks. It was for this reason that our blessed Saviour taught
us to say: ‘Our Father,’ and not ‘My Father’; ‘give us, forgive
us, deliver us,’ and not ‘give me, forgive me, deliver me,’

INTRODUCTION 1i

“The spirit of prayer—even prayer itself—has been sought
for in methods and prayer-books, which contain, it is true,
laudable, yea, pious thoughts, but, after all, only human
thoughts. By asserting the immense superiority of liturgical
over individual prayer we do not say that individual methods
should be suppressed; we would only wish them to be kept
in their proper place."

Apropos of this a pious author writes: “For the laity
assisting at holy Mass, the use of any particular form of prayer
is not of obligation. Each one may read from such approved
books of devotions, or recite such prayers as most appeal to
him. Or, again, if he please, he may pass the time of holy
Mass in purely mental prayer. Or, in fine, he may in a special
sense make his own, by reverently listening to them, or re-
peating them over, the very words put by Holy Church into
the mouths of her ministers standing at the altar and of the
singers and others charged in her name to respond to them.

“Nevertheless, from all alike, devout attention is required;
while hearing holy Mass each one should diligently heed the
chief moments in its celebration, and never forget that the
Sacrifice is his own, as well as the priest/s, together with whom
it is his privilege to offer and pray.

“There are many excellent manuals of prayer in the English
language containing appropriate and varied methods of hear-
ing holy Mass. 'The Missalis intended for those whose devo-
tion leads them to prefer to follow the Sacred Rite, as it
were, step by siep, and word by word."

The Mass and its Folklore

A very interesting and instructive little book on the Most
Holy Sacrifice and its ceremonies is The Mass and Its Folk-
lore, by John Hobson Matthews. In the Preface of this
fascinating volume we read as follows:

“There are many good and popular English books on the
Mass. Some of them treat the subject after the manner of a
Rationale, explaining the significance of the prayers and
ceremonies of the eucharistic rites; others are historical and
antiquarian, and elucidate the origin and evolution of the
ceremonial—while of devotional works there is no end. It
appeared, however, that there was room for a short treatise
on the folklore and minor antiquities of the Mass; by which
are meant the various aspects and the numerous details of
the Holy Sacrifice which have so impressed the minds of
Catholics in the past as to leave permanent traces in the
popular traditions and speech. The aim of this little book
is to stimulate love for the Mass by showing how it was
valued by our ancestors in the ages of faith, and what our
predecessors in the penal times willingly suffered for its sake.”

http://ccwatershed.org

12 INTRODUCTION

We read in the Introductory: “The Mass is the liturgical
rite whereby the Catholic Church from the last supper, until
this very morning, has celebrated throughout the world the
divine mystery of the passion and death of Our Lord Jesus
Christ. It is His perpetuation of the one sacrifice of the cross,
It is the great act of worship of historic Christianity, the
mainspring of the Church's mechanism, the throbbing heart
of the Bride ef Christ, Whether celebrated.by mitred prelate
amid the clustered columns and tinted lights of some Gothic
cathedral, with all. the splendid accessories of ecclesiastical
pomp, or by a poor blackrobe missionary in a wigwam. of the
far West, the Mass is the supreme and central Catholic wor-
ship—the one great reality—as Carlyle deemed it, which yet
survives in an age of unsubstantial insincerities. As a still
more modern thinker, Mr. Augustine Birrell, has pithily said:
‘It is the Mass that matters? It was for the Mass that the
ancient Briton constructed his wattled eglwys, the Gael his
drystone oratory. For this the Norman baron built the parish
church hard by his manor-house, and the lord abbot erected
his stately minster. For the sake of the Mass the painter,
the goldsmith, the scribe, and the limner produced the mas-
terpieces of art which are the despair of our artistically de-
generate age.

“The Mass left upon the English language marks which
centuries of Protestantism have not been able to efface. Our
greatest festival is called Christmas, ie. ‘the Christ-Mass.’
An attempt was made, in the age of Puritan ascendency, not
only to abolish Christmas, but also to eradicate its name by
substituting the term ‘Christ-tide’; but ancient custom proved
too strong for the innovators, and the Mass conquered once
more. We have also Candlemas, Lammas, Martinmas,
Michaelmas Childermas, and other words of similar forma-
tion—which is one almost peculiar to the English tongue.
The earliest Mass in our old churches was called the Morrow-
Mass. There were also the Jesus-Mass and the Lady-Mass,
In the same manner were formed the old English words ‘Mass-
priest’ and ‘Mass-penny.’ In a later age the Protestants
dubbed our poor chapels ‘Mass-houses’; and we still some-
times call a Missal a 'Mass-book." ”?” :

There is in this little book an illuminating chapter on the
Elevation in which we are informed that the act of homage
which has become so popular since Pius X—the Pope of the
Eucharist—attached to it an indulgence of seven years and
seven quarantines, namely, the act of looking on the sacred
host at the Elevation of the Mass, was quite a common prac-
tice in the ages of faith. To gain the above-mentioned indul-
gence it was requisite to say with faith, piety, and love. the

words, “My Lord and My God,” while looking upon the sacred
host at the Elevation in the Mass. (At present the condition
of looking upon the sacred host is no longer required. The
indulgence is of seven years. Plenary once a Week, under
usual conditions if this pious practice is observed daily for
an entire week. Pius X, May 18, 1907; S. Pen. Ap., June
21, 1927 and Jan, 28, 1937).

On this subject The Mass and Its Folklore says: “In the
Middle Ages the faithful were accustomed to look at the up-
lifted host before bending in prayer, and there is abundant
evidence that importance was attached to this observance—
so much so, indeed, that attendance at Mass was often spoken
of as ‘seeing God’.”

A Welsh bard, Morys ap Hywel, about the year 1530 com-
posed a certain ode which begins: “Let us go over yonder
to the church in three hosts on Sunday to see Jesus”—‘Awn
draw i'r lan yn dri llu Dydd Sul i weled Iesu” (MS Cardiff
Free Library). 'The allusion is certainly to the Elevation at
Mass.

Dan Lydgete, in his Vertue of the Masse, thus counsels his
readers, in his Renaissance style:

“First every morrow, or Phebus shine bright
Let pale Aurora conduct you and dress
To holy church, of Christ to have a sight .
For chief preservative against all ghostly sickness.

We have also noticed similar phraseology in the ancient
Welsh treatise entitled The Merits (or Virtues) of Seeing the
Body of Christ.

The best known medieval manual of devotions, The Lay-
Folks Mass-Book (composed by an unknown author in the
thirteenth century) says:

“When time is nigh of sacring

A little bell men use to ring,

Then shalt thou do reverence

To Jesus Christ’s own presence,

That may lose all sinful bands.

Kneel and hold up both thy hands,
And so the Elevation Do Thou Behold;
For that is He that Judas sold,

And then was scourged, and set on Rood,
And for mankind there shed His blood,
And died, and rose, and went to heaven,
And thence shall come to judge us, even
Every man after that he has done.

That same is He thou lookst upon:

This is the truth of Holy Kirk.”

In reference to the virtue of the Mass we read:

“The worthiest thing, most of goodness,
In all this world, it is the Mass.

http://ccwatershed.org

14 INTRODUCTION

If a thousand clerks did nought else
(According as St. Jerome tells)

But told the virtues of Mass-singing
And the profit of Mass-hearing,

Yet should they never the fifth part,
For all their wit and all their art,
Tell the virtue, meeds, and pardon
To them that with devotion,

In cleanness and with good intent,
Do worship to this sacrament.”

How the Mass was esteemed in the ages of faith. “Much as
devout Catholics of the present day revere the Holy Sacrifice,
it is only with difficulty that we can form an adequate notion
of the profound and enthusiastic devotion felt toward the
Mass by the people of this country in the ages of faith. One
is amazed in reading ancient manuscripts at the rapturous
sentiments and language of their writers on this subject. To
say that the Mass was the center and heart of our ancestors’
religion is to employ an inadequate phrase; it was their very
life and breath. It is to the point to mention that the com-
monest oath in England was ‘by the Mass’—for people swear
by what they regard as most sacred.

“No one who has read the old Welsh and English tales, on
which Tennyson founded his Arthurian idylls, can have failed
to be struck with their frequent. allusions to the Mass: King
Arthur's knights, good, bad, and indifferent, all turn in to
wayside chapels to hear Mass, as naturally as in the present
day their descendants would enter the newsrooms of their
various clubs. ‘It would seem, too, that the hearing of Mass
always preceded the taking of the morning meal: *And on the
morrow he heard Mass, and brake his fast,’ is one of the com-
monplaces of the chronicles of the Round Table. ‘And Sir
Launcelot awoke, and went and took his horse, and rode all
day and all that night in a forest; and at the last he was aware
of a hermitage, and a chapel that stood between two cliffs.
And then he heard a little bell ring to Mass; and thither he
rode, and alighted, and tied his horse to the gate, and heard
m And he that sang the Mass was the Bishop of Canter-

ury.'

“Dom John Lydgate, a Benedictine monk and the contem-
porary of Chaucer, wrote an edifying set of verses entitled
The Vertue of the Masse, by way of instruction tor the laity.
He tells his readers of the countless benefits they gain by
hearing Mass, for which he cites the testimony of the Fathers
and tradition.

* ‘Alban for England, St. Denis for France,
Blessed King Edmund for royal governance,

"Thomas of Canterbury for his meek sufferance,
At Westminster St. Edward shall not fail,

http://ccwatershed.org

INTRODUCTION 16

That none enemy shall hurt nor prevail,

But that St. George shall make you freely pass,
Hold up your banner, in peace and in battail,
Each day when ye devoutly hear Mass.’

“Lydgate makes allusion to certain pious beliefs which pre-
vailed in England, as probably they still do in some Catholic
countries. The first of these beliefs is that devout attendance
at Mass brings a signal blessing upon temporal concerns in
general:

“Hearing of Mass giveth great reward,
Ghostly health against all sickness . . .:
And unto folk that goen on pilgrimage,
It maketh them strong, getteth them secureness
Graciously to complete their voyage.
The mighty man, it maketh him more strong, -
Recomforteth the sick in his languor,
Giveth patience to them that suffer wrong,
The labourer beareth up in his labour;
To thoughtful folks, refreshing and succour,
Gracious counsel to folk disconsolate;
Good speed, good hap, in city, town and house,
To all that hear devoutly Mass at morrow;
Hearing of Mass doth passing great avail.’”

“It is, perhaps, little wonder that our forefathers, pro-
foundly impressed as they were with the mystic sanctity and
power of the eucharistic rite, should have early come to look
upon the Mass as an invincible weapon against malignant
spirits. St. Augustine mentions the laying of ghosts by the
mention of Mass in a haunted house. The writer of an old
Welsh manuscript, (Cardiff Free Library, MS. 17,119, sixteenth
century), citing this instance, moralizes thus: ‘You may see -

.the fruit of the Mass in the driving out of devils, who are
unable to endure the precious Sacrifice, On the other hand,
the ancient Fathers, as is well known, are fond of insisting
that angels surround the altar at the moment of the Conse-
cration."

A very eloquent tribute to the virtues of the Holy Sacrifice
is embodied in the Irish proverb: ^Ni luach go h-Aiffrionn Dé
éisteachd"—'""T'here is no reward like hearing God's Mass."

In thoroughly Catholic lands at the present day, as in
England before the Reformation, every undertaking, every
anxious aspiration is commended to almighty God and His
Saints by the hearing of Mass. Mass is heard daily by the
devout in those countries, as it is, indeed, in this. Our an-
cesters could no more dispense with it than with their bodily
food. ‘They realized the full significance of the petition:
“Panem mostrum quotidianum da nobis hodie—Give us this
day our Daily Bread. "

Cardinal Newman on the sublimity of the Mass. Glowing
words of praise in reference to the Holy Sacrifice are those

http://ccwatershed.org

16 INTRODUCTION

which Cardinal Newman speaks by the mouth of his hero in
his book Loss and Gain: "I declare, to me nothing is so con-
soling, so piercing, so thrilling, so overcoming, as the Mass,
said as it is among us. I could attend Masses forever and
not be tired. It is not a mere form of words, it is a great
ACTION—the greatest action that can be on earth. Tt is
not the invocation merely, but, if I dare use the word, the
evocation of the Eternal He becomes present on the altar in
flesh and blood, before Whom angels bow and devils tremble.
This is that awful event which is the end and is the interpreta-
tion of every part of the solemnity. Words are necessary,
but as means, not as ends; they are not mere addresses to
the throne of grace, they are instruments of what is far
higher, of consecration, of sacrifice. They hurry on, as if
impatient to fulfil their mission. Quickly they go—the whole
is quick; for they are all parts of one integral action. Quickly
they pass, for the Lord Jesus goes with them, as He passed
along the lake in the days of His flesh, quickly calling first
one and then another. Quickly they pass, because as the
lightning which shineth from one part of the heaven unto
the other, so is the coming of the Son of man. Quickly they
pass; for they are as the words of Moses, when the Lord came
down in the cloud, calling on the name of the Lord as He
passed by: ‘The Lord, the Lord God, merciful and gracious,
long-suffering and abundant in goodness and truth.’ And
as Moses on the mountain, so we, too, ‘make haste and bow
our heads to the earth, and adore.’ So we, ail around, each
in his place, looking out for the great Advent, ‘waiting for
the moving of the water,’ each in his place, with his own
heart, with his own wants, with his own thoughts, with his
own intentions, with his own prayers, separate but concordant,
watching what is going on, watching its progress, uniting in
its consummation; not painfully and hopelessly following a
hard form of prayer from beginning to end, but like a concert
of musical instruments, each differing but concurring in a
sweet harmony, we take our part with God’s priest, supporting
him, yet guided by him. There are little children there, and
old men, and simple laborers, and students in seminaries,
priests preparing for Mass, priests making their thanksgiving;
there are innocent maidens, and there are penitent sinners;
but out of these many minds rises one eucharistic hymn, and
the great Action is the measure and the scope of it.”

as follows on this subject:. “The liturgy is the official and pub-
lic expression of thé worship we pay to God. Now the heart
of the liturgy is the holy sacrifice of the Mass. The Hours of
the Divine Office serve as a crown and an extension to it; the
sacraments themselves are most closely connected with it;
it is the completing of all solemnities, so much so that it sums
up in itself the worship which we owe to God..

“Sacrifice has four ends. It is offered to God—first, to
adore Him; secondly, to thank Him for His favors; thirdly, to
obtain the pardon of our sins; and. fourthly, to ask for the
graces we need.

“All these things (adoration, thanksgiving, reparation, and
prayer) express the sovereign dominion of God. Such is the
notion of sacrifice. The Christian religion was to have a
sacrifice of its own.

" "This is the sublime sacrifice of the Mass—the continua-
tion of that of the cross. On Calvary the sacrifice was offered
by Christ in a bloody manner; on the altar it is still Christ
Who offers it by the ministry of His priests, but in an unbloody
manner. The sacrifice of the cross merited our redemption;
that of the altar applies the fruits of it to our souls. ——

“It is hardly necessary, after what we have said, to insist
upon the value. of the holy sacrifice of the Mass. It is God
Who immolates—God Who is immolated. What mysteries
have we here! The value of this sacrifice is infinite; its glory
is reflected upon the saints in heaven; it benefits the dead as
well as the living; it is the only holocaust truly worthy of the
Lord Who in it sacrifices Himself—‘always living to make
intercession for us.’ Ah, if we could but fully realize this gift
of God.”

The first end for which the Mass is offered i is to give God
honor and glory. This is the one great end of our existence—
to give God honor and glory, and thereby to save our souls.
“Man was created,” says St. Ignatius Loyola, at the beginning
of his Spiritual Exercises, “to praise, reverence, and serve God,
and thereby save his soul.” For this we were sent by God into
the world. Now, in the Mass we fulfil, in a supreme degree,
our function on the earth, as rational beings, of praising and
reverencing: God.

1“*The homage that we pay to God,’ says Sanchez, ‘the
glory that we give Him in the Mass, is so great that no greater
service, no greater honor, could be shown Him upon earth.
Por thereby we testify that in His sovereign majesty He is
worthy that, not the blood of caives and goats, but the most
precious blood of His first-born Son should be offered to Him
in sacrifice.’

“What is holy Mass,’ asks Marchantius, ‘but an embassy
sent to the ever blessed Trinity with a gift of priceless value,
which we present to the three divine Persons, in recognition
of their dominion over all creatures, and of our dependence
upon them?"

“St. Lawrence Justinian says: ‘It is certain that nothing
gives God greater glory than the spotless Victim of the altar,
which Christ ordained to be sacrificed in order that His
Church might offer praise to God.’

“In the Mass,’ says Molina, ‘the first-born Son of God is
Offered to the Father with all the praise and glory which He
rendered Him on earth.’

“This praise was infinite and absolutely worthy of the divine
Majesty, inasmuch as it was offered by the Man-God; there-
fore, it is clear that one Mass gives more honor and praise to
God than all the efforts of all creatures to the end of time and
through. eternity.

“To this effect a learned writer of the seventeenth century
speaks as follows: ‘If all the powers of heaven should unite
to form a solemn procession.in honor of the Holy Trinity, at
the head of which would be the Mother of God, the chief of all
creatures, surrounded by the nine choirs of angels, followed.
by innumerable companies of the saints and blessed singing
with the sweetest voices, playing on the most melodious in-
struments, this triumphant procession would doubtless be to
the praise and glory of God, and would be pleasing in His
sight. But if at the close of the procession the Church mili-
tant were to commission one single priest to say one Mass in
honor of the ever blessed Trinity, this one priest, with his one
Mass, would offer an incomparably higher tribute of praise
than that glorious procession had done. Nay, it would be as
far superior in glory and sublimity as the Son of God is
exalted above all created things,’ ”’

Hence we learn how transcendent is the praise and glory
that we offer to God, even by a single Mass, and how supremely
great a happiness we should esteem it to be able to assist so
often at the Holy Sacrifice.

The second end for which the Mass is offered is to give
thanks to God for His benefits. "Put in one heap,” says St.
Leonard of Port Maurice, “all the gifts, all the graces, you
have received from God-—so many gifts of nature and of
grace; yes, the very life, too, of His Son Jesus, and His death
suffered for us, which in themselves immeasurably swell the
great debt which we owe to God—and how shall we ever be
able sufficiently to thank Him? The law of gratitude is
observed by the very beasts, who.sometimes change their cruel
anger into gentle homage to their benefactors; and how much

more, of course, has this law not to be observed by man, gifted
88 he is with reason and so nobly endowed by the divine liber-
ality! Now, the way most fully to thank our good God—our
supreme benefactor—is taught us by the Royal Psalmist, holy
David, who, led by divine inspirations to speak with mysterious
references to this divine sacrifice, indicates that nothing can
sufficiently render the thanks which are due to God, excepting
holy Mass. ‘Quid retribuam Dómino pro ómnibus que
retribuit mihi? ‘What return shall I offer to the Lord for all
the benefits which He hath bestowed upon me’? And answer-
ing himself he says, ‘Calicem salutaris accipiam’; or, accord-
ing to another version, ‘Calicem levabo’ ‘I will uplift on high
the chalice of the Lord,’ that is, I will offer a sacrifice most
grateful to Him, and with this alone I shall satisfy the debt
of so many and such signal benefits. Add to this that the
sacrifice was instituted by our Redeemer principally in recog-
nition of the divine beneficence, and as thanks to Him; and
therefore it bears as its most special and worthy name the
Eucharist, which signifies an offering of thanks. He Himself
also gave us the example when, in the last supper, before the
act of consecration in that first Mass, He raised His eyes to
heaven, and gave thanks to His heavenly Father: ‘Elevatis
oculis in coelum, Tibi grátias agens fregit’ O divine thanks-
giving, disclosing why this tremendous Sacrifice was insti-
tuted and calling upon us to conform ourselves to the exaniple
of our Head, so that in every Mass at which we assist we may
know how to avail ourselves of so great a treasure, and offer
it in thanksgiving to our supreme Benefactor! And all the
more, since the Blessed Virgin, and the angels, and the saints
Tejoice to witness this, our tribute of ee to so great a
Bing—or, better, King of kings.”

“Would to God,” exclaims a spiritual writer, “that we ap-
preciated aright the immense treasure we possess in holy
Mass! How happy we should then be! How attentively we
should hear Mass! In holy Mass we have the noblest burnt-
offering, the sublimest sacrifice of praise and thanksgiving.
It is the believer's greatest treasure, and the devout Chris-
tian’s dearest joy."

“Consider, O Christian,” writes Father Segneri, S.J., “how
indebted we are to our Saviour for the institution of holy
Mass, for without it we can never thank God rightly for His
benefits. It was the superabundance of His love that induced
Him not only to load us with so many benefits, but to place
within our reach the means of giving Him abundant thanks
for these game benefits. Would that we appreciated our privi-
leges and turned them to good account! When we hear Mass,
Christ, Who is immolated to His Father for our sake, becomes
our own, and with Him we become possessed of all His infinite

merits and are able to offer them to God the Father, thus to
lighten the heavy load of our indebtedness that well nigh
crushes us to earth.”

The third end for which the Mass is offered to God is to
obtain the remission of our sins. The Council of Trent says
in reference to this subject: “The Holy Synod teaches that
this sacrifice is truly propitiatory, and if one draws nigh unto
God, contrite and penitent, He will be appeased by the offer-
ing thereof, and, granting the grace and gift of penitence, will
forgive even heinous crimes and sins.” (Sess. xxii, ch. 2.)

“If anyone saith that the Sacrifice of the Mass is not a pro-
Pitiatory sacrifice, let him be anathema.” (Sess. xxii, ch. 3.)

As we read in that commendable little book already referred
to, The Mystic Treasures of ihe Holy Sacrifice:

“The Mass does not, in-the case of mortal sin, —
the necessity of going to confession, but, owing to the effica-
cious grace it gives, it may become the means of procuring
perfect contrition, which, when united with the firm resolution
of going to confession, suffices us remit the guilt even of
mortal sin.

“The action of the priest at Mass shows that it is a veritable
sacrifice of atonement. He begins by saying the Confiteor or
general confession, which is then recited by the server in the
name of all tbe congregation, after which the priest pro-
nounces the absolution: ‘May the almighty God have mercy
upon you, forgive you your sins, and bring you to life everlast-
ing.’ Then making the sign of the cross, he says: ‘May the
almighty and merciful Lord grant us pardon, absolution, and
remission of our sins.’ Again and again he invokes the divine
mercy in the Kyrie Eleison, and in other prayers throughout
the Mass, notably the Agnus Dei, in which he calls aloud for
mercy, saying, ‘Lamb of God; Who takest away the sins of the
world, have mercy on us.’

* "The special effect of the holy sacrifice of the Mass,' says
St. Thomas Aquinas, ‘is that it operates our reconciliations
with God,’ and he explains this doctrine by the following
illustration: ‘Just as a man will forgive the wrong done him
by his fellow-men in consideration of a valuable gift which
is presented to him, so the anger of God may be appeased by
the acceptable service thou dost render Him when thou hear-
est Mass, and by the priceless gift which thou dost offer Him
in the oblation of thé body and blood of Jesus Christ.’ To the
Same effect St. Albertus Magnus writes: ‘By this inestimable
gift (of the Mass) the divine indignation and anger are fully
&ppeased' St. Bonaventure places the following words on
the lips of the priest at the moment of the elevation of. the
aacred. host:

http://ccwatershed.org

INTRODUCTION 21

= We, miserable sinners, have transgressed and grievously
offended Thee, O heavenly Father; but look upon the face of
Thy Christ, Whom we here present to Thee, hoping to change
Thy anger into mercy. Turn not away Thy face from Thy
Son, of Whom Thou hast said, “This is My beloved Son, in
Whom I am well pleased.” For His sake turn us to Thee, and
be not angry with us any more.’

“In all this we find a strong motive for unbounded confi-
dence in-the power of the Mass to save sinners and procure our
own sanctification and salvation.

“The Mass not merely secures the forgiveness of mortal sin,
but also blots out venial sin. This is expressly stated by the
Council of Trent: ‘Christ instituted the Mass at the last
supper that its salutary power might be applied to the remis-
sion of those sins which we daily commit.’ (Sess. xxii, ch. 2.)

“Speaking of this effect of the Mass, Suarez says: ‘Christ in-
stituted this divine oblation, and attached to it the virtue of
His death, which is applied to us for the remission of our daily
sins.’ `

“It is related in the Life of St. Gertrude that at the elevation
of the sacred host she used to say: ‘Holy Lord God! I offer to
Thee the sacred host for the remission of my sins, and that
our Lord made known to her that in answer to her prayers her
goul was cleansed from all its stains. and she was rendered
worthy to be admitted to the embrace of her beloved Spouse,”

The fourth end for which we offer to God the Holy Sacri-
fice of the Mass is to obtain for ourselves, as well as for others»
graces and favors, both temporal and spiritual, through
Jesus Christ our Lord. “The Holy Mass," says Gihr, “has
always and everywhere been regarded as the most efficacious
means to obtain assistance in all the necessities and concerns
of life. .. . The Mass draws down upon the soul the light and
the dew of heaven, so that all the gifts of the Holy Ghost
therein attain their most beautiful bloom and ripeness. 'The
Mass obtains grace, strength, and courage to perform good
Works, to overcome the flesh and its concupiscence, to despise
the world with its allurements and threats, to resist the at-
tacks of Satan, to endure not only patiently, but with joy and
thanksgiving to God, the hardships and troubles, the sufferings
and evils, of this life, to fight the good fight, to finish our
course, and to persevere in the way of salvation unto the end,
and thus to bear off the crown of life and of eternal glory. ...
Thus the holy sacrifice of the Mass is the most profound and
significant expression of all our petitions and intercessions in
spiritual and temporal concerns.”

Father Anthony Molina, in his work on the Priesthood, says:
“There is nothing so profitable to mankind, so efficacious for

http://ccwatershed.org

22 INTRODUCTION

the relief of the suffering souls, nothing so helpful for the
attaining of spiritual riches as the most holy sacrifice of the
Mass."

St. Leonard of Port Maurice in his treatise on the Mass
urges to hear Mass frequently and to have many Masses offered
not only for their own good in life and in death, but also and
especially for the relief of the holy souls in purgatory. He
says: "It is the invariable opinion of theologians that there
is no more efficacious means than Mass for obtaining a good
and holy death." “Christ our Lord is said to have revealed to
St. Mechtilde (Lib. iii, Grat. Spir. c. 27) that he who in life
is in the habit of devoutly hearing holy Mass shall in death
be consoled by the presence of the angels and saints, his advo-
cates, who shall bravely defend him from all the snares of
infernal spirits. Oh, how beautiful the death which is des-
tined to succeed your life if you shall have striven to hear
with devotion as many Masses as you could! As to the efficacy
of the holy sacrifice of the Mass for accelerating the remission
of the pains of purgatory, I do not doubt that holy Mass not
only shortens the pains of the poor souls, but also extends great
immediate relief to them. We may well believe, at least, that
at every Mass many issue forth from purgatory and fly to
holy paradise.”

“The example and authority of that great servant of God,
John of Avila, the oracle of Spain, should suffice. Being asked
on his deathbed what he had most at heart, and what kind-
ness he most longed for after death, he answered: ‘Masses!
Masses!’ "

We have the authority of the Council of ‘Trent for the asser-
tion that the Holy Sacrifice is the great means to assist the
suffering souls, “This Ecumenical Synod,” we read, “teaches
that the souls detained in purgatory are helped by the suf-
frages of the faithful, but principally by the acceptable sacri-
fice of the altar.”

It behooves us all to reflect well upon the words of the
Apostle in his letter to the Hebrews: “We have not here a
lasting city, but we seek one that is to come" (Heb. xiii. 14);
and to heed the admonition of Our Saviour: “Lay up to your-
selves treasures in heaven” (Matth. vi, 20); “Make to your-
selves bags which grow not old—a treasure in heaven which
faileth not, where no thief approacheth, nor moth corrupteth”
(Luke xii, 33).

Let us gather flowers that do not wither but will bloom for-
ever; fruits that do not decay but will retain their savor and
their sweetness throughout eternity; jewels that no thief can
steal from us, nor death deprive us of, but which shall be our
ornament and happiness in our eternal Father’s house—the
flowers, the fruits, the jewels of the Mass.

INTRODUCTION 23

“Oh, unbounded riches of holy Mass!" exclaims St. Leonard.
“Grasp well this truth, one and all: It is possible for you to
gain more favor with God by attending or celebrating one
single Mass, considered in itself, and in its intrinsic worth,
than by opening the treasure of your wealth, and distributing
the whole to the poor, or by going on a pilgrimage over the
whole world, and visiting with the utmost devotion the most
famous sanctuaries, such as Rome, Compostella, Loretto, and
Jerusalem;.and this, indeed, follows most reasonably from the
proposition laid down by the Angelic Doctor, St. Thomas,
when he says that in Mass are contained all the fruits, all the
graces—yea, all those immense treasures which the Son of
God poured out so abundantly upon the Church, His Spouse, in
‘the bloody sacrifice of the cross: In qualibet Missa invenitur
omnis fructus et utilitas quam Christus in die Parasceves
operatus est in cruce (“De Consec.,” dist. 2).

“Why do you not run to the churches, there to hear with holy
hearts all the Masses in your power? Why not imitate the
holy angels, who, according to the saying of St. Chrysostom,
when holy Mass is being celebrated, descend in squadrons
from the empyrean, and stand before our altars, covered with
the wings of reverential awe, waiting the whole of that blessed
time, in order that they may intercede for us the more effec-
tively, well knowing this to be the time most opportune, the
conjuncture, above every other, propitious for obtaining favors
from heaven. Sink down, then, in confusion, for having in
time past so little appreciated holy Mass, for perhaps having
even many times profaned an act so dread and holy; much
more so, if you are of the number of those who have recklessly
dared to utter: ‘A Mass more or less is of little importance.’
Yes; let us heed it as the voice of heaven calling us to Mass,
when the solemn sound of church bells reverberating through
the fresh and fragrant morning air falls upon our ear.”

“All Catholics,” writes the author of Jewels of the Masses,
“unfortunately, do not regard this Great Act, as we call it,
with the same awe or attention—and yet it should be ap-
proached much as some of the old writers have put it. ‘If the
Holy Sacrifice,’ they tell us, ‘were to be celebrated but once
since the death of Our Saviour, it would be an event of such
tremendous significance as to excite the awe and reverence of
the whole world."

* And, indeed, we might conceive for ourselves what would be
our feelings if it were announced for the first time that Our
Saviour would descend from heaven upon an altar, and that
there and then the sacrifice of Calvary would be renewed.

"Beside such an event all historical events would become tame
and insignificant. It would be next in interest only to the
original coming of Our Lord. Yet most Catholics, from habit

and familiarity, ‘go to Mass,’ as it is called, in à languid, ir-
responsible fashion, for the most part once in the week. How
often do we see the rear of the church crowded with men,
standing for the necessary twenty minutes, and then hurrying
away With impatience, almost before it is concluded! How
few make it a practice of attending on week-days, on the
ground of there being ‘no obligation'—a curious delusion! It
surely ought to be a wonderful feeling for the Catholic to
think, during the day, that he has actually witnessed this
Great Act, the change of bread and wine into the Lord’s body,
and His descent upon the altar of men! ‘The day that follows
may be considered hallowed, or even; in a lower sense, & lucky
one. Indeed, those who have gained the habit of hearing
Mass 'every day' will own that when they have been hindered
by some casualty there has been a sense of incompleteness
&nd discomfort, as though the whole day had been thrown out
of gear. One of the most picturesque, but, alas! heterodox
of our writers—Thomas Carlyle—has given a striking account
of the impression left on him by the Mass (which he attended
in the old Dom at Bruges, and again at Ghent). The im-
pression leads him later on to the striking admission—for him,
Thomas of Chelsea—that the Mass was the only genuine thing
of our time.”

“Many run to sundry places,” says Thomas 4 Kempis, in the

* fourth book of the Imitation, “to visit the relics of the saints,

and are astonished to hear their wonderful works; they be-

hold the noble church buildings and kiss their sacred bones,
wrapt up in silk and gold.

“And behold I have Thee here present on the altar, my God,
the Saint of saints, the Creator of men, and the Lord of angels.

“Oftentimes in seeing these things men are moved with
curiosity, and the novelty of the sight, and but little fruit of
amendment is reaped thereby; especially when persons lightly
run hither and thither, without true contrition for their sins.

“But here, in the Sacrament of the Altar, Thou art wholly
present, my God, the man Christ Jesus; where also the fruit
of eternal salvation is plentifully reaped, as often as Thou art
worthily and devoutly received.

“And to this we are not drawn by any levity, curiosity, or
sensuality; but by a firm faith, a devout hope, and a sincere
charity.

“O God, the invisible Maker of the world, how wonderfully
. dost Thou deal with us! How sweetly and graciously dost

Thou order all things in favor of Thy elect, to whom Thou
offerest Thyself to be received in this sacrament”

Daily Mass

In his admirable little treatise on Daily Mass, Father McDon-
nell writes: "The earnest wish of the Pope (Pius X) that the
faithful should receive the Blessed Eucharist daily is an obvi-
ous and implicit expression of his desire that they should
assist at Mass daily. The connection between daily Mass and
daily communion is clear. Moreover, for such as have not as
yet taken up the practice of daily communion, daily Mass will
be a step, and a very important step, in the right direction.

"Many persons urge that they have not time to go to Mass
every day. I am afraid in the vast majority of cases this is
a mere excuse. They have time to read the newspapers, time
to visit their friends, time to amuse themselves, to go to places
of public entertainment, to spend, perhaps, hours together in
useless or idle conversation, and yet, they say, they have not
time to give one Balf-hour in the day to what is immeasura-
bly the most important occupation it could possibly be devoted
to! .

"Others assert, and with some show of reason, that domes-
tic duties render it impossible for them to leave their homes
in order to hear Mass. No doubt there are cases where this
is true; a mother must see after her husband and children,
and attend to the breakfast arrangements at home. Yet, in
cities, at least, there is Mass to be had at a late hour, when,
it may be presumed these morning duties are over; or, failing
that, might not a little more energy and diligence in rising
secure an early Mass at a neighboring church without the
smallest dereliction of duty? ‘The old saying, ‘Where there's
a will, there's a way,’ applies here.

“Again, it is a common excuse to say: ‘Well I should be
only. too happy to go to Mass every day, if I could; but really
it is beyond my power. I have to earn my bread, to support
my family, and, even, as it is, it is as much as I can do, by
constant attention to business, to make ends meet, without
sacrificing an hour, or half an hour, of my day to hearing
Mass.’ To this I reply: ‘What about the help that God would
give you, my friend, and the grace and blessing that would go
with your work in return for the little sacrifice you make in
going to daily Mass? Do you think God will allow Himself
to be outdone in generosity, or that He is not able, by the
blessing and the success He will grant to your efforts, to make
up to you, a hundredfold, for the hour or. half hour that you
give to His service? You are in business, or in a profession,
or otherwise occupied; can not and will not God, in return for
the homage you do Him, by hearing daily Mass, make your
business or your profession or occupation a thousand times
more Successful than your own unaided efforts could possibly

26 INTRODUCTION

make it, even if you were to slave from morning till night?
Can not He ward off a thousand sources of failure? Is He
likely, in return for your fidelity in His service, to allow you
and your family to starve or fall into penury? Listen to His
own words on the subject: ‘Be not solicitous, therefore, say-
ing, What shall we eat, or what shall we drink, or wherewith
shall we be clothed? . . . For your Father knoweth you have
need of all these things. Seek ye therefore, first the kingdom
of God, and His justice, and all these things shali be added
unto you' (Matth. v. 31-39).

“Our one and only real business on earth is to ‘seek the
kingdom of God and His justice,’ and we may assume that, if
we do so, God will never allow us to suffer, even in temporal
affairs; on the contrary, He will bless us and give us a cer-
tain measure of prosperity even in these temporal matters.
However, even granting that you did suffer some small diminu-
tion of earthly prosperity by devoting an hour to Mass, or did
gain some advantage by the saving of time, yet "What doth it
profit a man to gain the whole world if he suffer the loss of
his own soul?’ Against this awful misfortune there is, with
the exception of daily communion, no greater safeguard than
the hearing of daily Mass.” -

In olden times the faithful ran to Mass for strength in
trial and comfort in affliction. We find in The Mass and Its
Folklore the following interesting reference to the manner
in which the Catholics of England viewed the Mass and valued
its mystic treasures in ancient times: “During the course of
the religious revolution of the sixteenth century, a German
Protestant named Naogeorgus wrote in Latin a doggerel satire
on Catholic faith and practice. This was translated by an
English Reforming rhymester called Barnaby Googe. His
translation, printed in 1570 and entitled “The Popish King-
dom,” was immensely popular among the English Puritans,
both Anglican and Nonconformist. In 1880 this was reprinted;
and the book, originally intended and used as a means of
pouring contempt upon the Church, is now exceedingly valu-
able to antiquaries of all creeds from its minute description
of the religious ceremonies and usages of our Catholic fore-
fathers. This is how it describes the way in which the Mass
was regarded in ancient times:

""Their trust is always in the Mass, to this they only fly
In everything that toucheth them and every jeopardy.
And is not this a goodly crew? They are persuaded still,
Whar day they hear or see a Mass to have no kind of

“Googe, writing of the processions of Corpus Ohristi has
these lines:

The like at, Mass they do, while as the bread is lifted well
And „ghalice shewed aloft, when as the sexton rings the

In Notes and Queries for July 19, 1902, is a communication
by A. H. Baverstock, under the heading “Merry England and
the Mass,” to the following effect:

“A passage in Becon—I have not the reference—seems to
indicate a prevailing idea in England that the sight of. the
host at the Elevation brought joy to the heart. Becon de-
scribes how at this moment in the service a man would jostle
his neighbor in his eagerness to look on the Holy Sacrament,
exclaiming that he ‘could not be blithe until he had seen his
Lord God that day,’ or words to that effect.

Another work of Lydgate's, a set of verses entitled “How the
.Good Wife Taught Her Daughter," has these lines:

“Look lovely and in good life,

Thou love God and Holy Church,

Go to church when thou may—
Look thou spare for no rain—

For thou farest the best that ilke day
When thou has God y-seen,"

The Morning Offering and the Holp
Sacrifice of the Mass

To one ‘more point: we wish to call the attention of our
readers, viz., to the importance of making the Morning Offer-
tng of the Apostleship of Prayer:

“O Jesus, through the immaculate heart of Mary, I offer
Thee my prayers, works, and sufferings of this day for all the
intentions of Thy sacred Heart, in union with the holy sacri-
fice of the Mass throughout the world, in reparation for my
sins, for the intentions of all our associates, and in particular
for the general intention recommended this month.”.

“This devotion of the Morning Offering,” says Father Rick-
aby, S.J., “rests on the main and essential principles of
Christianity; namely, that in Christ we have access to the
Father (Eph. ii, 18); that there is no salvation in any other,
‘no other name under heaven given to man, whereby we are to
be saved (Acts iv, 12); that this salvation was wrought out by
the death of Christ on the cross, Who made peace through
the blood of His cross, blotted out the handwriting that was
against us, and took it away, nailing it to the cross (Col. i, 20;
ti, 14); that this redeeming sacrifice and death of our Saviour

is continually. shown forth and re-enacted in His own very
body and blood, made present at the Consecration in holy Mass
(1 Cor. xi, 24; Luke xxii, 19); that the most efficacious prayer
is that which goes up in closest union with Christ crucified,
pleading in sacrifice for us. Christ crucified thus pleads in
every Mass, In every Mass, as the Church says, ‘the memory of
His passion is celebrated anew.’ I can spend my day in hear-
ing Mass, traveling from altar to altar. It is not God's pur-
pose that I should do that. But the Morning Offering of the
Apostleship of Prayer, as sanctioned by the Holy See, puts me
in relation with every Mass that is said that day, and lays
upon every Christian altar my work and my play, my words
and thoughts, my pains and sorrows, my delights and joys,
and every conscious action of my will—always excepting that
which is sinful, and so unacceptable, incapable of entering into
holy union with the oblation of the body and blood of ‘my
Saviour. When I lie down to rest-at night, I may ask myself:
‘Of all that I have done to-day, of all my goings and comings,
what shall endure to my eternal good? What have I laid up
in the form of treasure for heaven’? And, provided I have
spent the day in the state of grace I may answer: ‘All and
every one of my deliberate acts of will that were right in them-
selves, and, very signally and specially, all that has received
the consecration of my morning offering.’ Of my strivings
after the good things of this life, some: will succeed, others wil]
fail; but alike in success and failure, practising the Apostle-
ship of Prayer, I. may take to myself the Apostle’s consoling
words: ‘Be ye steadfast and immovable, always abounding
in the work of the Lord, knowing that your labor is not vain
in the Lord’ (1 Cor. xv, 58) .—''Ye Are Christ's,"

*@n the Devotion with which tue are to assist at
the Sacrifice of the Altar

Consider that those heavenly mysteries which we celebrate
in the sacrifice of the altar, and the real presence of Jesus
Christ the Son of God, whom we believe to be truly there both
as priest and victim, require that we should assist thereat
with all possible devotion, but especially with a lively faith,
€ most profound reverence, and a heart inflamed with love
for that Lamb of God who there offers Himself in sacrifice
for us. The servants of God have sometimes seen angels assist-
ing round the altar and adoring their Lord—open thou thy
eyes, MY soul, as often as thou art present at the sacred mys-
teries, to contemplate with a lively faith this Lord of angels
upon our altars, acconipanied with.these heavenly spirits, and

see thou worship Him there with that awful reverence and
tender affection which His infinite majesty and His infinite
love for thee require at thy hands, Reflect that profound
respect with which the people of God in ancient times rever-
enced the sanctuary in which the ark of the covenant was
deposited, so that no one but the high priest, and he but once
a year, was allowed to enter within the veil. O how much
more profoundly oughtest thou to reverence this true sanctu-
ary of God, and the Lord Himself of the covenant, present in
our tremendous mysteries.

The memorial and representation of Christ’s Passion.
Consider that as this sacrifice has an especial relation to the
passion and death of the Son of God, in such manner as to
be in effect the same sacrifice, the same victim, and the same
priest, so the devotion with which we are to assist at the altar
should have a particular relation to the sufferings of Jesus
Christ. As Our Saviour Himself here officiates in person, and
acts as in a sacred tragedy, His whole Passion and death, we
ought to accompany Him in this action with suitable affection
and devotion. Had we been present, with a true belief in Him,
when He was offering upon the cross the sacrifice: of our re-
demption, with what sentiments of love and gratitude, with
what deep sense of sorrow and repentance for our sins, with
what fervor of devotion should we have waited upon Him there,
meditating upon His infinite goodness and love for us, mani-
fested in His passion, and on the heinous enormity of our sins.
With the like sentiments of devotion ought we to assist at this
solemn memorial and representation of His Passion in the
Eucharistic Sacrifice.

We are to offer up ourselves with the whole Church which
is the Mystical Body of Christ. Consider that as often as we
assist at this sacrifice we are not only to commemorate by
meditation the passion and death of the Son of God, but also
to take along with us as it were to God the Father His Son
slain for us, and His precious blood shed for us, and this in
such a manner as to offer up ourselves also to Him, with the
whole church, which is the Mystical Body of His Son by His
hands, and in union with the offering which He, Who is our
head, there makes of Himself. We are also at the same time
to join our intentions with His, as He is our chief priest and
principal offerer, and with those of the whole people of God,
according to the four great ends of the sacrifice, going as it
Were in a body, with Christ Jesus at our head; and with Him
We are to offer adoration, praise, and thanksgiving to Giod, and
to pray and beg mercy through Him both for ourselves and
for allthe world. 'Thus the whole chürch of God daily joins
herself with Christ Jesus her head, both as the offerer and the
offering, in these divine mysteries,

Conclude with a resolution of doing thy best to assist daily
at this great sacrifice with a suitable devotion. Go thither in
the same spirit as if thou wert going to mount Calvary, to

bleeding sacrifice for the sins of the world. And see thou re-

there makes of Himself, and thy intentions with His inten-

"The Mass
The Sacrifice of the Mystical Body :
The Social Character of The Mass
The Liturgy of The Mass

The Mystical Body of Christ is one, living reality, born of
the Redemption wrought for us by the Incarnate Word. It
is that Society formed of Christ and the Church, of which One
is the Head, the other, the Body.

In the writings of St. Paul, this doctrine of the Mystical
Body holds a most high place. We might refer to the very
frequent use of such expressions as in Christ, in Christ Jesus,
texts the ordinary sense of which tells the relations of the
faithful with Christ and of the faithful with one another.
Such texts speak of us as clothed with Christ, freed from the
bonds of the old Adam by Baptism and united to Jesus, in
Whom all Christians are not the one thing, but are made as
one person with Christ, all with Christ forming the one Mys-
tical Christ. Besides such texts are numerous passages where-
in this doctrine is explicitly affirmed. Thus in the First Epistle
to the Corinthians our bodies are called the members of
Christ (vi, 15). The bread we eat, the wine we drink in the
celebration of the Eucharist are a sharing in the body and
the blood of Jesus Christ, and all who thus feast are thereby
made the one body (xi, 3).

“St. Paul does not emphasize at length his statement. He
draws from it immediately most practical moral lessons: the
Statement itself being evidently & truth with which his audi-
ence is already familiar.” Chapters XII, XIII and XIV
(1 Cor.) might well be termed a summary of Christian soci-
ology, founded upon the union of the faithful in one sole
body, the Mystical Body of Christ. Therein the doctrine of
the Mystical Body is clearly expressed (xii, 12, 13, 27), illus-
trated at length by a comparison with the human body (12,
14-26). The soul of that Mystical Body, the vital principle
animating all its members, vivifying and making specific their

acts and their functions is the Holy Spirit (xii, 3-11, 28-30).
The bond uniting all the members is charity (xiii. 13). Thence
flow the diverse duties of. Christians, one to another. Every-
thing that is received ought to be looked upon in relation to
its social usefulness for the entire Body. Even the gifts of
the Holy Ghost are subordinated to the common good, to the
upbuilding of the whole (xii. 13 and 14).

The sacrifice of the Church, the sacrifice of the Mystical
Body is wholly worthy of the divine character of that society.
It is in no way inferior to.that Immolation which gave her to
the world; for in very truth, under the consecrated species of
bread and of wine, according to the rite instituted by the
Saviour, we offer to God Christ, Victim upon the Altar, as He
was Victim in His Passion. i

‘Thanks to the Mass, the Christians of all ages and of all
nations may gather about Calvary renewed and perpetuated
and, borrowing the all-effective voice of Christ immolated
(Heb. v, 7), speak their repentance, their adoration, their de-
votion to the service of God.

An attentive reading of the prayers of the Mass suffices to
show tbe social character of the sacrifice offered by the Mys-
tical Body and for its benefit. 'The entire Church of Christ
takes part in this drama, which is, indeed, that of Calvary,
only that the actors have been vastly multiplied.

The Liturgy of the Mass gives the full teaching, the unin-
terrupted application, of the dogma of the Communion of
Saints. A brief glance will reveal this.

Priest and people are gathered around the altar. “The altar,”
says St. Thomas, “represents Christ; the sacred edifice, the
entire Church.” Altar and edifice have been set aside from
things mundane by consecration or blessing. For Christ is
holy, and holy is the Universal Church. The priest is the
principal visible actor. The people assisting, sharing through
Baptism in the sacerdotal power, have also part in the action.

At the foot of the Altar priest and people purify them-
selves of sin by a public confession. By this very first act,
priest and people show themselves intimately united. The
priest accuses himself to the people; the people accuse them-
selves to the priest. Both ask that divine pardon which the
absolution pronounced by the priest carries to hearts well
disposed. ‘This union of priests and of people, representing the
Church, will continue during the entire sacrificial action.
‘The priest will recall it to the minds of the faithful from time
to time by addressing to them the liturgical salutation: Domi-
mus Vobiscum. . Certain prayers are reserved to the celebrant
exclusively. Some of these he recites in & loud voice because
they concern both priest and people; for example, the common
orations. In some cases he carries on the rite in a very low
voice, as the Offertory and the Consecration,

INTRODUCTION 38

Here:also the people are not put apart but are invited to
unite their prayers to those of the priest. Thus, before the
opening of the-most/ mysterious part of the drama, the people
are called upoh to do so in the urgent, solemn appeal of the
Preface. ' os : i

Co-operation need not always be evident to eye and ear.
To read the prayers of the Offertory and the Canon, to follow
the rites therein, is proof that in the silence our union is.
unbroken. The host is offered not only for the celebrant, for
all those assisting, but also for all faithful Christians and for
their eternal salvation: "that it may avail both me and them
unto salvation for life everlasting.” Mixing. a little water
with the wine, the priest asks God to make us sharers in the
divinity of Him. Whom the Incarnation has made our Head.
Then. the priest elevates the chalice: toward heaven, “for our
salvation and that of the whole world.” At solemn Mass the
altar and all gathered about it are incensed. “The incense,”
says St. ‘Thomas, “symbolizes the order of the grace of which
Christ is the plenitude, and from Christ it flows to the people
by. way of the ministers.” When the altar which represents
Christ has been incensed, the ministers and the faithful aré
incensed in turn. Shortly afterwards, the priest recalls to
those assisting that this sacrifice is theirs as it is his, “my
sacrifice and yours,” and the people ask that the offering be
to the glory of the Divine Name, to their personal benefit and
that of the entire holy Church.

After the Preface the silence grows more solemn. Neverthe-
less, not for an instant is prayer merely individualistic. The
priest speaks in the name of the many. All is done in union
with the people and in their name. Together priest and. peo-
ple-ask that the peace and unity of the holy Catholic Church
be extended over the whole earth. The sacrifice they celebrate
is. tne sacrifice of the whole Christian society. They name
its visible head, “thy servant N. our Pope,” and also the head
of the limited society—the diocese, “and N. our bishop." It
is the sacrifice of every one of the faithful, “and all true be-
lievers of the Catholic and ‘Apostolic Faith.” These catholic
Petitions do not exclude particular intentions. They are
voiced at the memento for the living. Immediately after-
wards the note of universality is again taken up. All ask God
to accept this offering of all His servants, of His entire family:
“this oblation of our servitude as also of Thy whole family.”

The moment of the Consecration and the Elevation comes.
The sacramental words. are pronounced. At last Jesus is
&mong His own, offering Himself and praying with them. It
is upon Him now that all the action is concentrated. The
Prayer, remaining humble, now grows more confident, yea,
Seeks the very throne of God, .

“Command these things to be carried up by the hands of
Thy holy Angel to Thine Altar on nigh, in the sight of Thy
Divine Majesty.” The priest’s petition is in relation to the
Mystical Body, signified in this sacrament, and it asks that the
prayers of priest and people have the honor of being presented

to God.

The Angel mentioned “is Christ Himself, the Angel of the
Great Council, Who unites His Mystical Body to God the
Father, and to the Church Triumphant.” Then the Head
and members—the one only Son and the children of adoption
—"qmake bold to say” that prayer in which they address God
as their Father. '

It would be a mistake to suppose that the two other branches
of the. Church ‘are strangers to this sacrifice. From the mo-
ment the Mass began, all the saints were asked to obtain the
pardon from. God of the sins staining the souls of the faith-
ful All Masses are offered to the Most Holy Trinity in mem-
ory of the Passion, Resurrection, and Ascension of Our Lord
Jesus Christ; offered also in honor of the Blessed Virgin
Mary, of St. John the Baptist, of the Apostles Peter and Paul,
&nd of all the Saints, for their glory, and for our salvation
through their intercession, E

The Church of heaven and the Church of earth unite in
one voice to sing “Sanctus . . . Hosanna in. Excelsis.” Before
the Consecration, whereat our common Head will come to be
sacramentally visible to the faithful of earth as He is cor-
porally visible to the blessed in heaven, the Church here below
again declares its oneness with the Church of heaven in that
moving prayer the first word of which sums up its meaning,
Communicantes—‘communicating.” The Church here asks,
through the merits and intercession of the saints, that she re-
ceive in every circumstance the help of the divine protection
through Him, Christ Jesus, Who is the common bond of all
three parts of the Church, ` ` Too i

The Consecration, which brings Jesus Christ to earth, in-
creases the confidence of His militant members. It is not alone
the grace necessary for the present life for which they ask.
They beg for heaven itself, for their share in the inheritance;
their entrance into the society of the holy Apostles and
martyrs, in the name of Christ Who speaks for them and is
the Source and the Giver of all good gifts.

The Church Suffering is not forgotten. Frequently it is
for that Church or for one of its members that the sacrifice is
offered. Liturgical prayers at the beginning and end of
Masses for the dead implore relief for the souls in purgatory,
but at every Mass special prayer is offered for thé same end,

INTRODUCTION 36

When he presents the bread at the Offertory, the priest asks
God for all the faithful living and also for the dead, “for all
faithful Christians living and dead.” There is a memento for
the living. There is a memento for the dead, whereat our
Baviour, as the Victim of Calvary and now ours, is entreated
to grant refreshment, light and peace to those who have gone
before us, signed with the sign of faith, and who, in Christ,
sleep the sleep of peace. .

The Church Suffering is included also in the final prayer of
the Placeat, Therein the priest asks the Most Blessed Trinity
that this sacrifice may be acceptable and propitiatory for all
for whom it is offered. ‘To one who would express astonish-
ment at the fact that the Mass holds thus in remembrance the
souls in purgatory, St. Thomas gives this answer: “The Holy
Eucharist is the sacrament of the unity of the entire Church.
It demands in its celebration that nothing touching the salva-
tion of the entire Church be forgotten.”

Thus, the Holy Eucharist shows itself to be the true sacrifice
of the society of the Church, the Mystical Body’s own sacrifice,
In the Mass, Jesus Christ our Head, Priest for all eternity, with
His Body offered and His Blood poured forth, comes under the
appearances of bread and wine that He may be, by this Mysti-
cal or sacramental immolation of Self in this unbloody repre-
sentation of His bloody Passion, the Victim of the Cross offered
anew by us, for us, with us, in pledge of our own self-immola-
tion to the service of God, and of our hatred of sin.

The faithful should ever remember that they are sharing
in a priestly function and should answer the invitation which
the priest addresses to them at the Orate, fratres.

continually renew that sacrifice of Himself upon our altars.
And therefore do I—sinner, but penitent; poor, but rich in
Jesus Christ—present myself before Thee, and with the love
of angels and of all Thy saints, and with the tender affection
of the immaculate heart of Mary, I offer to Thee in the name

to renew the offering of them every moment of this day and of
all my life, that I may thereby render to Thy infinite majesty
an honor and a glory worthy of Thee, thus to appease Thy in-
dignation, to satisfy Thy justice for our many sins, to render
Thee thanks in proportion to Thy benefits, and to implore Thy
mercies for myself and for all sinners, for all the faithful, liv-

The Prophecy of Malachias Realised

us to realize more vividly the truth of the prophecy contained

sun, even to the:going down, My name is great among the
Gentiles; and in every place there is sacrifice, and there is
offered to My. name a clean.obíation: for My name is great
among the Gentiles, saith the Lord of hosts."

` “Tt is not an exaggeration to say that the Massi isofferedsome-
where in the world at every moment of the twenty-four hours
of the day. The offering of the Mass travels with the sun,
and seems like one continuous and uninterrupted act of wor-
ship, which the devout Catholic at any moment by day or by
night can join in spirit. When it is midnight in New York
Masses are beginning in the churches of Italy.

“There ancient altars, at. which saints have knelt, are lit
up with tapers, and the Vicar of Christ ahd thousands of
priests are lifting holy hands up to heaven in the sacrifice
of adoration, thanksgiving, reparation, and supplication. A
Httie later and the bells of a thousand towers in France begin
to fill the air with holy sounds, and in every city, town, and
hamlet kneeling crowds adore the chastening hand of God and
pray. for sinners who despise His ordinances, Chivalric and
religious Spain catches the echoes, and, when it is one o‘clock
in New York, offers the great sacrifice in countless splendid
churches. And then Catholic Ireland, the Island of Saints,
which during centuries has suffered for the Faith, rallies anew
around the altars it would never forsake, despite the most
cruel persecutions. :

“At. two o'clock and after, the priests of the islands of the
Atlantic—perhaps the Cape Verde—white-robed and stoled
&nd wearing the great cross on their shoulders, bend before
the tabernacle. An hour later a courageous missionary lifts
up the chalice of salvation on the ice-bound coast of
Greenland.

“At half-past four the sacred lamps twinkle through the fogs
of Newfoundiand, and at five Nova Scotia’s industrious popu-
lation begins the day by attending Mass. And now all the
Canadian churches and chapels grow radiant as the faithful
people—the habitant of the country, the devout citizen, the
consecrated nun, and the innocent—hasten to unite their
prayers around the sanctuary where the priest is awaiting
them. At six how many souls are flocking to the churches of
New York, eager to begin the day of labor with the holiest act
of religion! Many young people, too, gather around the altar
at a later hour, just as the fresh flowers open with the morning,
and offer their dewy fragrance to heaven. An hour later, the
bells of Missouri and Louisiana are ringing, and at eight Mex-
ico, true to her faith, bends before her glittering altars, At nine

rust doth not corrupt. And when the Angelus-bell is ringing
at noon in New York, the unbloody sacrifice is being offered
in the islands of the Pacific, where there are generous souls
laboring for our dear Lord; and so the bells are ringing on,
on over the waters, and one taper after another catches the
light of faith, making glad all the isles of the sea. At two
o'clock the zealous missionaries of Australia are hastening to
the altar, and whispering in their eagerness for the coming
of Our Lord, Introibo ad altare Dei, And all the spicy islands
of the East catch the sweet sounds one after another, till at
four in the afternoon China proves there are many souls who
are worthy of the name of celestial by their rapt devotion at
the early rite. Then in Tibet there is many a modest chapel
where the missionary distributes the Bread of Life to a crowd
of hungry souls.

“At six the altars of Hindustan, where Bt. Francis Xavier
ministered, are arrayed with their flowers and Jamps and the
sacred vessels, and unwearied priests are hastening to fortify
their souls before Him who is their life and their strength.
At nine in Siberia, where many a poor Catholic exile from
Poland has no other solace from his woes but the foot of the
altar and the bread of heaven, During the hours when New
York is gay with parties and balls and theatrical amusements
ihe holiest of rites is going on in the Indian Ocean and
among the sable tribes of Africa, whose souls are so dear to
the Saviour who once died for all At eleven in Jerusalem,
the Holy City over which Jesus wept, where He wrought so
many miracles, where He suffered and offered Himself a sacri-
fice for the whole world.

“When midnight sounds again in New York the silver bells
&re tinkling again in every chancel in Rome. And so it goes
on; the divine host is constantly rising like the sun in its
course around the earth. Thus are fulfilled the words of the
prophet: Malachias: ‘From the rising of the sun even to the
going down thereof, My name is great among the Gentiles;
and in every place there is sacrifice, and there is offered to My
name a clean oblation.’ All day long—at any hour—we can
assist at Mass spiritually; let us frequently unite ourselves to
the Masses going on in some part of the world, thus adding
new brightness to God’s glory, atoning for the neglect of
others making reparation for our offenses, in thanksgiving
for our blessings, and thus effectually promoting our sancti-
fication.”

“Oh, what a gift is the holy Mass!” exclaims Father Baker,

Ship.'! “How full an utterance has humanity found therein

for all its woes, its aspirations, its hopes, its affections! How
completely is the distance bridged over, that separated the
creature and the Creator! The Mass supplies the want of
the human soul for an adequate mode of approaching God,
As a creature before its Creator, you are oppressed with your
own inability to worship Him worthily. Do you want a better
worship than that which His eternal Son offers? In the
Mass the Son of God in His human nature worships the Father
for us, He prays for us; asks pardon for us; gives thanks for
us; adores for us. As He is perfect man, He expresses:every
human feeling; as He is perfect. God, His utterances have a
complete perfection, an infinite acceptableness. Thus, when
we offer Mass, we worship the Father with Christ's worship.
It seems to me that the Catholic can have a certain kind of
pride in this. He may say, ‘I know I am weak and as nothing
before God, yet.I possess a treasure that is worthy to offer to
Him. I have a prayer to present to Him all perfect and all
powerful, the prayer of His onjy-begotten Son, in Whom He
is well pleased.’

Come to Mase! Come to Mass!

“Come to Mass! Come, children, come to Mass, and bring
your merry hearts with you. Come, you that are young and
happy, and rejoice before the Lord. Come, you that are old
and weary, and tell your loneliness to God. Come, you that
are sorely tempted, and ask the help of heaven. Come, you
that have sinned, and weep between the porch and the altar.
Come, you that are bereaved, and pour out here your tears.
Come, you that are sick, or anxious, or unhappy, and com-
plain to God. Come, you that are prosperous and successful,
and give thanks, Christ will sympathize with you. He will
rejoice with you, and He will mourn with you. He will gather
up your prayers. He will join to them His own almighty sup-
plications, and that concert of prayer shall enter heaven,
louder than the music of angelic choirs, sweeter than the
voice of those who sing the song of Moses and the Lamb, more
piercing than the cry of the living creatures who rest not day
or night, and more powerful and prevailing than the inter-
cession of the Blessed Virgin and all the saints of paradise
together. The Mass a formalism! The Mass an unmeaning
service! Why, it is the most beautiful, the most spiritual, the
most sublime, the most satisfying worship which the heart of
man can even conceive.

to another perplexity of Protestants. They can not under-
stand why we make such a point of attending Mass. They see

to be late at Mass, and they ask what it all means! Is it not
superstition? Do we not, like the pharisees, give an undue
value to outward observances? . May we not worship God at
home just as Well? Ah, if it were really only an outward
observance! But there is just the difference. There stands
one among us whom you know not. We believe that the Sav-
iour is with us, and you do not. We believe this with a cer-
tein, simple faith. Come to our churches and look at our
people—the poorest and most ignorant—and see if we do not.
It is written on their faces. They may not know how to ex-
press themselves, but this is in their hearts. You think we
come to Mass because the Church is so strict in requiring us to
do so, but the true state of the case is that the law of the
Church is.so.strict because Christ is present in the Mass. You
think it is the pomp and glitter of our altars that draws the
crowds. Little you know of human nature if you think it can
long be held by such things alone. No; we adorn our altars
because we believe Christ is present. This is our faith. It
is no new thing with us. It is as old as Christianity. It was
the comfort of the Christians in the Catacombs. It was the
glory of St. Basil and St. Ambrose and St. Augustine. It was
the meaning of all the glory and magnificence of the Middle
Ages. ‘And it is our stay and support in this century of knowl-
edge, labor, and disquiet. Yes; strip our altars; leave us only
the Corn and the Vine, and a rock for our altar, and we will
worship with posture as lowly and hearts as loving as in the
grandest cathedral. Let persecution rise; let us be driven
from our churches; we will say Mass in the woods and caverns,
as the early Christians did. We know that God is everywhere.
We know that Nature is His temple, wherein pure hearts can
find Him and adore Him; but we know that it is in the Holy
Mass alone that He offers Himself to His Father as the Lamb
that was slain. How can we forego that sweet and solemn
action? How can we deprive ourselves of that heavenly con-
solation? The sparrow hath found her an house and the turtle
a nest where she may lay her young, even thy altars, O Lord
of hosts, my King and my God! Man’s heart has found a home
and resting-place in this vale of tears. To us the altar is the
vestibule of heaven, and the host its open door.

“It is our delight now to think that, as the sun in its course
brings daylight to each successive spot on earth, it ever finds
some priest girding himself to go up to the holy altar; that
thus the earth is belted, from the rising of the sun unto the
going down of the same, with a chain of Masses; that as the
din of the world commences each day, the groan of the op-
pressed, the cry of the fearful and troubled, the boast of sin
and pride, the wail of sorrow—the voice of Christ ascends at
the same time to heaven, supplicating for pardon and peace.

“Such be our thoughts about the Holy Mass. Come to Mass,

and come and pray. When the Lord drew near to Elias on
the mount the prophet wrapped his face in his mantle; so,
when we come to Mass, let us wrap our souls in a holy recol-
lection of spirit. Remember what is going on. Now pray; now
praise; now ask forgiveness; now rest before God in quiet love.
So will the Mass be a marvelous comfort and refreshment, to
you. Yoü know the smell of the incense lingers about the
sacred vestments worn at the altar long, after. the service is
over; so your souls shall carry away with them as you leave the
church a celestial fragrance, a breath of the odors of Paradise,
the token that you have received a blessing from Him whoss
‘fingers drop with sweet-smelling myrrh.'"

Reb. F. X. Lasante

o NICHOLAS C. BENZIGER of blessed memory belongs the
credit of having suggested the preparation ànd publica-
tion of The Néw Missal for Every Day nearly twenty years
ago, and therefore we are justified in calling him a pioneer,
indeed an enthusiastic leader, in the liturgical movement of
the present day. The work was an immediate success. And
the New Missal has been kept “new,” that is to say, absolutely
up-to-date, by its publishers, the firm of Benziger Brothers.
They likewise prepared and energetically carried out the pro-
ject of transforming this English Missal into a Latin-English
Missal, the present work which is offered to the public with the
positive assurance that it is still entitled to its old name: The
New Missal (adding the word “Roman” to signify that it now
is in Latin and English) inasmuch as it is complete, thoroughly
up-to-date, and calculated to meet the requirements of the
Most exacting critic.

We take this occasion to offer a slight tribute of praise to
Nicholas C. Benziger, whom we have loved with the love of a
brother, and whose passing has left a wound that never will be
healed.

He won our esteem and affection not only by the uniform
courtesy, kindness, and generosity displayed toward us per-
sonally in an association which began nearly forty years ago,
but also by the strength and uprightness of his character, his
sterling worth, his integrity, honesty, sincerity, humility,
Serenity and cheerfulness. He was a man of deep, religious
convictions, with a faith like that of a Breton peasant, and
was ever ready to second the efforts of Bishops and Priests in
the dissemination of Catholic literature and to foster every
enterprise for the welfare of the Church and for the propaga-
tion of the faith. He enjoyed the respect and loyalty of his
employees by his just and kindly treatment of them, and by
the genuine interest he took in their temporal and eternal
welfare. Eternal rest give unto him, O Lord, and let per-
petual light shine upon him, May he rest in peace. Amen.

A. Sropy PLAN Basen ON “THE New Roman MISSAL IN LATIN
AND ENGLISH” By REV. F. X. LASANCE AND REV; FRANCIS
AUGUSTINE Warsa, O.S.B.

Introduction

HE Holy Sacrifice of the Mass was instituted by Our Lord

at the Last Supper, when He pronounced the words that

caused bread to be changed into His adorable Body, and wine
to be changed into His Precious Blood.

In these words are the very heart and core of Holy Mass.
They are the treasure itself of Catholic Faith.

Receiving this treasure as à pearl of great price, the Church
sought through the centuries to give it a setting worthy of
its divine Donor. And so she enshrined the sacred words or
consecration in a liturgy of overwhelming majesty, uniting
the inspired utterance of psalmist and prophet with the fer-
vent outpourings of her own saints and pontiffs.

How beautiful this liturgy really is, the reader of the Missay
will quickly see. And once acquainted with the Church’s
own prayers, he will heartily agree with: the sentiments ex-
presesd in the Introduction to Father Tasance: s “New Missal
for Every Day.”

To facilitate the use of this particular Missal for all who
desire to follow the liturgy and ceremonies of Holy Mass in
harmony with the celebrant of the Mass, is the purpose of
this guide. The exercises aim to make the student familiar
with the parts of the Missal by actually following the Mass.

An understanding of a few outstanding points wil be
enough at first; later on, the student will learn for himself
the minor variations of the liturgy.

An appreciation of the Mass as the most, sublime act of
man’s homage to God, and a knowledge of the principal ves-
sels, vestments and ceremonies are expected of every educated
Catholic, .

Exercise 1

The teacher will do well to assign an analysis of pages
8-16 of the “Introduction to the Missal.” From the quota-
tions of the author the student wil make a brief synopsis in
his own words, showing the advantages of reading the
Missal. The following points are illustrative:

(A) The Missal associates one more intimately with the
-celebrant and therefore more closely with Christ;
for the priest represents Our Lord. (Page 8.)

(B) The Missal contains many apt and beautiful citations
from the Psalms of David. Now, these prayers of
David are indeed the prayers of Christ, for David is

„a. type of Christ.- (Page 9.) 23

(C) In the Missal are found prayers for every occasion and
for every moment; prayers of adoration, of thanks-
giving, of contrition, and of petition. (Page 1494.)

(D) Books of Piety are often very good and useful; at
the best, however, they are never so good as the
prayers of Holy Scripture, or those of the Fathers of

the ‘Church, (Page 10.) , .
(E) The Prayer of the Church contained in the Missal
is the most efficacious of all prayers. Page 10.).

A STUDY PLAN 45

In the exercises that follow, we shall be concerned with
the four main sections of the Missal as enumerated below for
the purpose of demonstration, but the principles governing
their use may also be applied to the Masses contained in the
other sections of this Missal.

Note: The instructions and directions for the use of this
Missal contained in this section, “Read Mass with the Priest"
are sufficient for general use. If more detailed rubrieal in-
formation is desired for. a closer adherence to liturgical re-
quirements the study of the matter set in smaller type is
advisable.

Marking the Parts of the Missal

Note: For a better understanding of the structure of the
Missal and the exercises that follow, it is advisable to read the
instruction on the ecclesiastical year and its-divisions, page 1622.

Open the Missal, Place ribbons or cards in the following
pages: - `

1. Page 756: The Ordinary of the Mass

2. Page 103: The Proper of the Season

3. Page 830: The Proper of the Saints
` 4. Page 1299: The Common of the Saints

Turning now from one section to another, the student will see
the four important parts of the Missal.

Exercise 3

The Major Parts of the Missal Explained

(QD The Ordinary of the Mass is made up of those prayers
and rites which remain unchanged throughout the year. It
includes the familiar prayers that are found in most prayer-
books of the people. i

(II) The Proper of the Mass on the other hand consists of
the Introit, Prayer (sometimes called Collect), Epistle (some-
times called Lesson) with the Gradual or Tract or Sequence
that follows it, Gospel, Offertory, Secret, Communion and
Postcommunion (A) special to the season, as for instance
the Tenth Sunday after Pentecost; or (B) special to some
Saint's feast. Hence there are two divisions of the Proper,
viz., (A) the Proper of the Season, and (B) the Proper of the
Saints. The latter is further supplemented by the Common
of the Saints as described in the following paragraph (C).

(A) The Proper of the Season has its place in the Missa?
from page 103 to page 752, Here are to be found
ihe Masses for each Sunday of the year, beginning
‘with the First Sunday of Advent and ending with the

http://ccwatershed.org

READ MASS WITH THE PRIEST

Last Sunday after Pentecost. This section also in-
cludes the principal solemnities of Our Lord and
some other feasts which are kept Without regard for
the day of the month on which they may fall and the
week-day or as they are called the Ferial Masses.

(B) The Proper of the Saints: Pages 830 to 1298. It fol-

lows the order of the Calendar, month by month, day
by day. Here one finds tbe special Introits, Prayers,
Epistles, Gospels, Offertories, Secrets, Communions
and Postcommunions suited to the saint who is being
honored.

(C) The Common of the Saints: Now to print an n Introit,

Prayer, Epistle, Gospel, etc. for each saint would
make the Missal extremely bulky. Besides, there
would be no end of repetition, for the same Epistle
or other proper part often recur. For this reason
& special section appears in the Missal containing
the Introits, Prayers, Epistles, Gospels, Offertories,
Secrets, Communions, and Postcommunions, that are
Common to many of the Saints. This section is called
the Common of the Saints.

In the Common will be found those Prayers that
may not be printed in the Proper. If, for example,
the student turns to the feast of St. Isidore on page
974, he will find no Prayer at all for this saint. In
other words, there is no Proper for the feast of St.
Isidore. Consequently he will go to the Common.
The Missal refers him to the page, which in this
case is 1344 and from that place he will take the
Introit, Prayer, Epistle, Gospel, etc.

At times some parts will be printed in the Proper,
while the remainder must be drawn from the Com-
mon, e.g., the feast of St. Vincent Ferrer, page 975.
Here the Prayer of St. Vincent is all that is given;
the rest therefore is sought in the Common.

The same page, 975, shows an example of a feast
that has all its Proper in one place. In this instance
there is no occasion for using the Common.

Concluding Principle: When any part or parts
are not found in the Proper of the. Season or the
Proper of the Saints, they will be found in the
Common.

The Relation between the Ordinary and the

“Proper of the Mass”

Every Mass is made up of an Ordinary part and a Proper

vart,

http://ccwatershed.org

A STUDY PLAN 4

Take, for example, the Fourth Sunday of Lent, page 327.
The Ordinary is on page 756; the Proper is on page 327. To
follow the Mass, begin on page 756. Read on to page 760.
Here one is told to say the Introit. Turn back to page 327 to
find it. This done, return to page 761 to read the Kyrie, etc.
as far as top of page 762. After this the Missal tells one to
Say the Prayers (or Collects).

To put the matter very briefly: there are eight places in
the Ordinary where one is going to be directed to the Proper.
In this book, in the Ordinary of the Mass, (page 756) so that
they may be easily recognized, Proper parts are indicated by
a %. However, for his own convenience and practice the
reader may mark those eight places. Take a pen and write
Clearly, or, better yet, print plainly on the margin of your
Missal the name of the part to which reference is made ts
Shown in the following diagram.

Page Location Print in Margin
760 Bottom ‘Introit”

162 . Bottom "Prayer"

763 Middle “Epistle”

T64 Middle * Gospel"

167 Middle “Offertory”

772 Middle “Secret”

792 . Top “Communion”
"93 Top “Postcommunion”

When the reader comes to one of these signals he should
not hesitate an instant. He is to turn immediately to the
Proper that has previously been marked out.

The following diagram will indicate the manner in which
one prayer follows another. This order may be called the
sequence of prayers. It is important that the student get
practice in going rapidly from the Ordinary to the Proper
without losing his bearings. A card may be made similar
in style to the diagram, which will serve the double purpose
of a Missal-marker and a guide, in the event that one does not
know “what prayer comes next.”

Exercise 6 : :
The Proper of Saints
The. previous exercise has dealt. with the Proper of the
Season, and has been illustrated by the recitation of a
Sunday Mass. In the present exercise we shall consider the
Mass as said on the feast days of the saints, in order to
illustrate the Proper of the Saints,

Example A—Feasts that have a "Proper"
Feast of The Immaculate Conception, page 851
The Ordinary begins as usual on page 756, while all the
parts Proper to this feast, viz.: Introit, Prayer, Epistle,
Gospel, Offertory, Secret, Communion, and Postcommunion
are found together on pages 851 to 854. Hence no difficulty
will be experienced in going from the Ordinary to Proper and
vice-versa, an exercise which the teacher should now assign.
Example. B—Feasts that have no "Proper"
.. Feast of St. Eusebius, page 859
On turning to page 859, one finds that there is no Introit,

http://ccwatershed.org

50 READ MASS WITH THE PRIEST

Prayer, Epistle, etc. Recalling the principle that where there
is no Proper, recourse is had to the Common, he will place
his marker at page 1306, the Common of a Martyr-Bishop.
From this page he will then get the Introit, Prayer, Epistle,
Gradual, Gospel, Offertory, Seeret, Communion and Post-
communion. With the special parts thus marked out for
him on page 1306, the student may now read the whole Mass
beginning with the Ordinary on page 756.

Exercise 7

The Rank of Feasts and Sundays

The rank or dignity of a feast is stated immediately below
its title.

Example 1. The feast of St. Silverius, Pope and Martyr,
page 1054; here the rank is “Simple.”
Example 2, The Feast of St. Leo, page 1091; here the rank
is "Semi-Double." : :
Example 3. Feasts of “Double” rank. The greatest
feasts, like Christmas and Easter, are marked as Doubles
of the First Class; next in importance come the Doubles
of the Second Class, and the Double Majors. Lowest in
the class of Doubles is the Double Minor, which never gets
its full name, but is called “Double” for short.

The order of importance of the feasts occurring during the

Ecclestastical Year is designated by the Church as follows:

First: Those relating to our Lord and the mysteries of His
life. Then follow the feasts in honor of the Blessed Virgin,
the Holy Angels, St. John the Baptist, St. Joseph, Saints
Peter and Paul and the other Apostles, the feasts of Na-
tional Saints, Holy Patrons of dioceses and parishes, feasts
of the dedication of churches, of the martyrs, holy Popes
or Bishops, Doctors and Fathers of the-Church, Confessors
of the Faith, Holy Virgins and other Holy Women.

: CLASSIFICATION OF FEASTS
ACCORDING TO RANK

OF THE FIRST CLASS
OF THE SECOND CLASS
DOUBLE MAJORS -
DOUBLE (MINORS)

Pi | SEMI-DOUBLES l

I | SIMPLES |

All feasts, therefore, are either Simple, Semi-Double, or
Double, and the Doubles are sub-divided as noted in following
d'agram. This distinction is essential before the reader may
go on to consider the Votive and the Requiem Masses.

http://ccwatershed.org

A STUDY PLAN 51

Sundays are ranked as follows. .

I. Privileged or Major Sundays of the first class, which never
yleld precedence to any feast, viz., the first Sunday of Advent,
all the Sundays of Lent, Easter, Low Sunday, and Pentecost.

Il. Privileged or Major Sundays of the second class,
which yield only to double feasts of the first class, are Sep-
tuagesima, Sexagesima, and Quinquagesima, besides the sec-
ond, third, and fourth Sundays of Advent.

III. Common or Minor Sundays (the remaining Sundays of
the year) which yield only to a double feast of the first or
second class. When a festival Mass (of a double of the first
or second class) is celebrated on a Sunday, a commemora-
tion of the Sunday is made; i.e., the Collect, Secret, and Post-
communion of the Sunday Mass are added to the Mass of the
feast and the last Gospel is that of the Sunday.

The Church Week

The Church week is made up of a Sunday and six week
days. The Sunday is called “Dies Dominica,” i.e., the Lord's
Day. Saturday is called Sabbatum. The other week-days are
called “Ferial” days or simply Feric. The week-days of
Advent are called “Advent Feriz.” The week days of Lent
are “Lenten Feriz.” Thus, Monday is Feria II, Tuesday,
Feria III, etc. .

Feric or week-days are divided into two classes, major and
common. The former comprise all days of Advent and Lent,
the Ember-days, and Monday (feria secunda) of the Rogation-
days. All other feric belong to the second class. Major feria
must always be commemorated. A few, called privileged feric,
viz., Ash Wednesday and the first three days of Holy Week
are celebrated to the exclusion of all feasts.

On Masses Buring Lent

Each Feria in Lent has its own Mass. Keep the marker in
Dlace during Lent and advance it day by day. The priest may
choose either the Lenten Mass or the Mass of the saint whose
feast falls on that day. Should he say the Lenten Mass his
second Prayer will be from the Mass of the saint: on the
other hand, if he reads the Mass of the saint his second Prayer
will be of the Lenten Feria and the Gospel of the Feria is
said.at the end of Mass. It is easy to tell when he reads the
Lenten. Mass, for then the vestments are violet in color.

http://ccwatershed.org

52 READ MASS WITH THE PRIEST
On Masses During Advent

The Ferie of Advent have no special Mass; hence, the
Prayer, Secret and Postcommunion of the Sunday are re-
peated for each of the Ferie that follow. Thus, when the
priest says the Mass of a saint during this season, the second
Prayer, Secret and Postcommunion will be taken from the
Mags of the Sunday before. These additional prayers are
designated in the Missal “Commemoration of the Feria.”

- The Motive Masses
Page 1410 to Page 1494

A Mass other than that of the day is called a Votive Mass,
or Mass of Devotion. . These Masses are usually offered for
some special intention, such as a thanksgiving, page 1494, to
ask for peace, page 1468, etc. í

It is permissible to say a Votive Mass only on a Simple or
on a Semi-Double.

For the Marriage ceremony page 1449 and on certain special
occasions, e.g., the First Friday of the month page 646, the
Church permits a Votive Mass on feasts even higher than a
Semi-Double,. but this is by way of exception,

Masses for the Bead
Page 1501 to Page 1534

There are various Masses for the Dead, page 1501. Pope
Benedict XV granted priests permission to say three Masses on
All Souls’ Day. Then there is a Mass for the Day of Death
or Burial, another for the third, seventh and thirtieth day
after burial, one for the Anniversary of the Day of Death, and
lastly one called the Common or Daily Mass for the Dead.
The “Ordinary of the Mass” is said as usual and the “Proper”
ls taken from one of the Masses here noted.

While the priest js reading the prayers, taken from page
1501 and. following, which may be suited to his particular
intention, the reader may join charitably in that intention,
and also remember his own dead with a, prayer taken from the
same section of the Missal. f

Low Masses for the dead when said in black vestments are
not allowed on feasts which are of double rite, nor on any
Bunday, nor within any privileged octave, nor during Lent, on
the Ember-days, or Rogation Monday and all vigils; nor on the
day on which a Sunday is anticipated, or on which the Mass

of the preceding Sunday, whi

However, when the body of a deceased person has been
brought into. the. church to await burial, greater liberty is
permitted. Any Mass and on any day can be offered up for
the faithful departed in general, or for any particular de-
ceased person or persons: and, indeed, Holy Church seems to
prefer to act upon this principle, rather than delay a Mass
for the dead until a day on which. it can be said in black
vestments, and with the rites proper to requiem Masses.

The solemn or sung funeral Mass is prohibited on the last
three days of Holy Week, Christmas Day, Epiphany (Jan. 6),
Easter Sunday, Ascension Day, Pentecost, Trinity Sunday,
Corpus Christi, the feasts of the Annunciation (March 25),
Assumption (August 15), and Immaculate Conception of our
Lady (Dec. 8); the feast of the Solemnity of St. Joseph (Wed-
nesday before the third Sunday after Easter). feast of the
Nativity of St. John Baptist (June 24), and of Sts. Peter and
Paul (June 29), All Saints’ Day (Nov. 1), and the anniversary
of the title and dedication of the church in which the Masą
1s to be celebrated.

On the third, seventh, thirtieth, and anniversary days of &
person's death or burial, it is permitted by the rubrics
throughout the year to celebrate a high Mass of requiem,
except on ` .

1. Sundays and holy-days of obligation; n

2. Double feasts of the first and second class;

:8. Vigils of the Nativity and of Pentecost;

4. Within the octaves of Christmas, Epiphany, Easter, Pente-
cost, Ascension, and Corpus Christi;

5. Ash Wednesday;

6. Holy Week;

7. During solemn exposition of the Blessed Sacrament;

3, CEHGUABODSORES having but one parochial Mass with pro-
cession.

When thus prevented, this high Mass may be anticipated or
transferred to the nearest day free from the above rubrical
impediments.

A low Mass is not allowed on the third, seventh, thirtieth,

Second Order: The octaves of Epiphany and Corpus Christi.
No other feast, except it be a double of the first class, may
be celebrated during that time. The octave-day itself
may be replaced only by feasts of the Universal Church if
they are doubles of the first class. i

Third Order: The octaves of Christmas, Ascension and the
Feast of the Sacred Heart of Jesus. During this time the
celebration of all occurring feasts except those of simple
yank is permitted. But the octave-day itself may be re-

placed only by feasts, doubles of the first aud second class.

Note: When an octave day is replaced by another feast, a
commemoration is always made of the octave.

Common octaves.—Al feasts of the first class having a com-
mon octave are indicated in the Universal Calendar, as well
as on the feast itself. During their octaves, it is permitted to
celebrate a feast having a higher rank than simple with a
commemoration of the octave, except that on doubles of the
first and second class the commemoration is omitted. But the
octave day itself gives way only to doubles of the first and
second class. i

Simple octaves.—These are such feasts of which only the
octave day is celebrated as a simple rank feast.

Vigils.—Vigils (from vigilare, to watch), or days liturgically
observed, immediately preceding certain feasts, are found in
the Roman rite to the number of seventeen, divided into
privileged and common. Of the former there are three. The
vigils of Christmas and Pentecost do not yield to any feast;
but the vigil of Epiphany yields to double feasts of Our Lord
of the first or second class. All other vigils belong to the non-
privileged class, and are excluded by any office of higher rite.

Vigils are also divided into those on which there is or was
an obligation of fasting and abstinence and those which do
not carry with them this obligation. The vigil of Epiphany,
because of the Christmas joy, the vigil of Ascension, because
of the joy of Christ’s resurrection, and the vigil of the Im-
maculate Conception, because it was instituted without this
obligation, are without fast or abstinence. To all other vigils
the obligation of fasting and abstinence is attached per se,
though in many cases it has been abrogated.

Occurrence of Feasts.—Two (or more) feasts may occur on
the same day; of these only one is observed. The other is
transferred, if liturgical rules permit; otherwise it is reduced
to a simple (festum simplificatum) and commemorated, or at
times rejected entirely, according to definite laws.

Special Feasts.—The feast of a titular of a church, ie., of
the saint in whose honor the church is erected, and the anni-
versary of the consecration (strictly so called, not the simple
blessing) of a church, are doubles of the first class with an
octave for all the clergy attached to the church.

The feast of the titular of the cathedral, as well as the anni-
versary of the consecration of the cathedral, is a double
of the first class, and with an octave, when permitted, for
the secular clergy (for regulars, too, who use the diocesan
Ordo) throughout the whole diocese, Religious, male or
female, who use a special Ordo, Observe these feasts of the
cathedral as first-class doubles, but without an octave.

The day on which a church is consecrated is a double of
the first class (from tierce) with an octave for the clergy
of the church: the office is that of the dedication of a
church. The day on which the cathedral is consecrated
is observed as a double of the first class. likewise with a»

octave, throughout the diocese. The feast of the dedica-
tion or consecration of a church is a feast of Our Lord.
The feast of the consecration of the cathedral and its an-
niversary, as Well as the feast of the titular of the cathe-
dral, is a primary feast even for the clergy of the diocese
who are not attached to the cathedral. This is true, too,
of the octaves of these feasts,

Preparing the Missal for Next Day's Holy Mass

The beginner is urged to prepare the Missal before com-
ing to Mass, A few moments given to this task on the evening
before, will be repaid in ease of reading at Church.

In choosing the Mass to read, consult first the Universal
Calendar (see index). It shows what Mass is to be said
on any particular day. If closer adherence to the special
calendar of a particular diocese is desired, consult the Ordc
annually published in the locality.

If the day is a feast day, mark the Missal at the feast
given. If there is any difficulty in finding the place at once,
then look up the name of the saint, or of the feast, in the
Index at the end of the Missal. If no feast is given, then
read the Mass of the preceding Sunday, or if the priest is
vested in black a Mass for the Dead.

If the day is a day within the Octave of some feast, read
the Mass of the feast. (Certain great festivals are kept for
eight days; i.e., they have an octave and therefore the Prayer,
Secret and Postcommunion are repeated each Octave day).

If the day is a Sunday, read the Mass of Sunday. Your
Catholic Calendar at home will tell you what Sunday it is.

If some saint’s feast happens to fall on that Sunday, add
the prayer of the saint to the prayer of the Sunday Mass.

Remember that the Sunday Mass takes precedence over all
ordinary feasts.

It is only when a Double of the First or Second Class
falls on a Sunday that the Sunday Mass gives way to the
feast. (The Patronal Feast of the Parish is a Double of the
First Class). In this case the Mass is of the feast, the second
Prayer is of the Sunday, and the Gospel of the Sunday is read
at the end of the Mass.

The Altar

The form of the Catholic altar has always been a table or
atomb. This double form has perpetuated through the ages
the remembrance of the institution of the Eucharist and of
the burial of Our Lord. The cloth that covered the table at
the last supper, the winding-sheet of the Saviour’s embalming,
are recalled to our love by the white linens spread upon it.
The altar, the eucharistic table, the mystical tomb, is, above
all, the holy mountain where Jesus transfigures and immo-
lates Himself at the same time; raised as it is above the
ground, it appears to us always as a Thabor and. & Calvary.
Happier we than the apostle, for we can make for ourselves
there a perpetual dwelling-place, even in the heart of the
divine Saviour. t

Church law prescribes an altar of stone for thè Holy
Sacrifice. If the altar be made of wood or of materials other
than stone the Holy Sacrifice must be offered on an altar-
Stone set therein. : :

The little rectangle in the front center of the Altar Stone ts
the sepulcher or tomb, a hollowed part in which are contained
the relics of Saints and Martyrs.

-The Sacred Stone.—During the.Mass the priest Often kisses
the middle of the altar. In this spot is a stone become, by
the consecration of the bishop, a figure of Jesus Christ. Like
the Word of God, it has received the sacred unction; like Him,
it bears the mark of five wounds (five crosses are cut in the
stone), and these are also made by the hammer and tron;
like the Lamb of God, of Whom “not one of the bones was

broken" (Er. xil, 46), the sacred stone is entire, cut from a
single piece. He who loves Our Lord will understand these
kisses so often repeated; the Church wishes to make reparation
during the Holy Sacrifice for all:the outrages of the passion
—the derisive genuflections of the Jews replaced by the genu-
flections of the priest; the perfidious kiss of treason, by the
respectful kiss of love. In the sacred stone is enclosed a little
tomb, sealed by the arms of the bishop; berein with the relics
of the saints are laid three grains of incense. Here again is
& reminder of the burial and the different perfumes which
Jesus Christ then received from the piety of His disciples—the
aromatic herbs of Joseph of Arimathea, of Magdalen, and the
holy women.

The Relics in the Altar.—In his marvelous vision St. John
saw “under the altar the souls of them that were slain for the
Word of God" (Apoc. 6, 9). The Church militant, heir of. their
holy relics, has placed them under the altar of sacrifice. This
custom, observed from the earliest days of Christianity, teaches
us how we should receive Jesus Christ in holy communion.

Our heart becomes an altar where Our Lord consummates
His sacrifice, and upon this living altar He wishes to see the
blessed wounds of a martyr. The saints have tasted in com-
munion ineffable sweetness; recompense, we may be sure, of
the immolation which they made of themselves each day.
is easy for us to experience this; let us prepare ourselves for
such a solemn act by the sacrifice of our tastes, of our pas-
sions, as the Hebrews ate the paschal lamb with bitter herbs.
The Eucharist will then bear.in us the most abundant fruit;
it will. be the grain of wheat sown in our hearts, to grow
there tili the resurrection, the day of blossoming and of har-
vest, the heavenly wine, which maketh virgin those hearts in-
clined to evil; the divine fire, which will give to the weak the
courage of the lion. :

The Tabernacle—The rich materials which cover the place
where the Blessed Sacrament rests, even the name given it,
recall the tabernacle of the Old Law, in which the ark of the
covenant was kept, one of the prophetic figures of the sacra-
ment of our altars. Its most ordinary form is that of a tower;
this symbol of strength could not be more suitably employed
than in sheltering Him Whom St. Augustine so well calls “the
bread of the strong.”

The Cross.—Above the tabernacle is the cross. Its presence
alone in this place speaks simply and eloquently: “It is here

t Jesus Christ renews the sacrifice of Calvary. The cross
raised by deicidal hands remains always laden; love forever
fastens to it the divine Victim. His arms extended call the
sinner to return and to pardon; His lips never cease to utter
vhe great prayer of mercy, ‘Father, forgive them’; grace flows

from His heart in torrents.” Christian souls, all these things
the crucifix, by its wounds, says to you each day.

The Candles.—Doubtless they recall to us that the catacombs
were the cradle of the Cburch and her first temple; that the
divine mysteries were there celebrated by the light of torches.
This touching reminder of the persecuted Church should not
be lost sight of.

But if it were merely as a reminder of the bloody period of
the Church’s martyrdom that candles were used, why demand
Wax for the altar-lights? The anxiety of the Church on this

oint shows us that there is here some mystery. “Wax,” says

gr. de Cony, summing up the teaching of all the liturgists,
“ig one of the most expressive symbols furnished the Church
by nature to express allegorically the holy humanity of Jesus
Christ. The earliest Doctors dwell on the virginity of the dees,
and the purity of that substance drawn from the nectar of
the most exquisite flowers, and compare these things to the
conception of the Saviour in the pure womb of Mary. The
whiteness of the wax, laboriously obtained, signifies again the
glory of Jesus Christ, the result of His sufferings; then the
flame, mounting from that column of wax which it consumes,
18 the divinity of Jesus Christ, manifesting itself by the sacri-
fice of His humanity, and illuminating the world.” (Cérém.
Rom., 50, 1 c, 6) It is not, then, to lighten the darkness of
the sanctuary, let us say with St. Isidore, that the altar-
candles are lighted, because the sun is shining, but this light
is a sign of joy, and it represents Him of Whom the Gospel
says: "He is the true light.” (Orig., 50, 1 co, 12.)

During the holy mysteries, when thick darkness clouds our
souls, let us beg God, the eternal light, to scatter this gloomy
night. If at the foot of this new Calvary our heart is indiffer-
ent and frozen, let us pray God, infinite love, to melt it in
His fires. There wil come a day when this blessed light will
be, for those who have despised it, the fire of Justice. O Lord,
inspire my heart with such a profound horror of sin that I
may escape the flames of Thy vengeance.

The Sanctuary Lamp —In honor of Jesus Christ a lamp
burns perpetually before the altar. The Christian soul longs
to remain in constant adoration at the feet of Our Lord, there
to be consumed by gratitude and love. In heaven alone will
this happiness be given to us, but here below, as an expres-
sion of our devout desires, we place a lamp in the sanctuary
to take our place. In this little light St. Augustine shows us
an image of the three Christian virtues. Its clearness ts faith,
which enlightens our mind; its warmth is love, which fills our
heart; its flame, which, trembling and agitated, mounts up-
ward till it finds rest in its center, is hope, with its aspirations
toward, preven, and its troubles outside of God. (Serm. 67,

e Script. i

May our heart watch in the sanctuary under the eye of God!
During the labors of the day nothing is easier than to fly
there in thought, to offer to Jesus Christ our pain, our wearl-
néss, our actions. :

At night let us place ourselves at the feet of Jesus, and say:
While I sleep I h to love Thee and bless Thee always; here
would I take my rest. If many Christians were faithful to
this pious practice it would not.be merely a faint and solitary
Jamp which would illumine the holy place, but_thousands of
hearts Would shed there their sparkling rays of light.

The Altar Candlesticks——The heavenly Jerusalem has her
sacrifice and also her altar. St. John thus describes it: “The
altar of gold had seven golden candlesticks, and in the. midst
was the Son of man, shining like the snow by the whitenesg
of His garments, and more brilliant than the sun by reason
of the splendor of His face,” (Apoc. 1.)

It is, then, reminders of heaven which the Church con-
stantly places before the eyes of her children; how can we hel
thinking of it when all around us speaks of it: the altar, the
candlesticks, the Eucharist?

The Missal.—Upon the altar in heaven was also a mysterious
book, sealed with seven seals, and which no man could open,
The lion of the tribe of Juda, Jesus Christ, came, and His
triumphant hand broke the seals. The resemblance here ig
easily traced. The book which contains the prayers of the
liturgy is placed upon the altar before the sacrifices, but it
remains closed; only the priest, representing Jesus Christ, has
the right to open it.

In the West, Latin is the language of the liturgy of the
Church. However, certain Greek words, such as Kyrie eleison,
and some Hebrew expressions, like alleluia, amen, sabaoth,
have been enshrined in this rich casket, that the language
of the Christian sacrifice may recall the inscription placed
above the Saviour's cross, which was written, says the evan-
gelist, in Hebrew, in Greek, and in Latin. :

The Chalice and its Appurtenances

The Chalice: is a cup made of gold or silver, but if of silver,
the interior must be gold-plated. It holds the wine for
the Holy Sacrifice, and is a striking figure of the Sacred
Heart of Jesus. f

The Paten: is a plate of gold or silver upon which the large
bread for consecration rests until the offertory. If it is
of silver, the upper side, at least, must be gold-plated.
Of old it was necessarily larger than now, for it held all
the breads to be consecrated.

“To seal an alliance the ancients at the end of the banquet
caused to be passed from one to another of the guests 2 cup
to which each touched his lips. Our Lord followed this cus-
tom at the last supper. The chalice used at the altar is made
upon the model of the one from which Jesus Christ drank
on the eve of His death. While the chalice receives the blood
of Jesus Christ, the paten is reserved for His divine body. Jt
is a large plate, of gold or silver like the chalice, but always
golden in that portion which comes in contact with the holy
species. Like the chalice, before it is used in the sacred
mysteries it is consecrated by chrism and special prayers said
by the bishop. Let us receive from the gold, the holy chrism,
and the particular benediction of the prelate given to those
vessels upon which the Holy of holies rests but an instant,
the lesson which the Church teaches us. In communion our
hearts become living chalices; our tongue is another paten
upon which the priest lays Jesus Christ. May Our Lord al-
ways find our tongue and heart bright with the gold’ of
charity; let us consecrate this mystical chalice and paten with
the unction of Christian sweetness and the perfume of prayer.

The Pall: A square pocket-shaped piece of linen with a card-
board inserted in order to stiffen it. It is placed over the
chalice to prevent dust or other matter falling into it.

The Purificator: A linen cloth used for wiping the chalice, and
the fingers and mouth of the celebrant after Communion.

It is spread over the cup of the chalice at the beginning and
end of Mass, .

The Corporal: A square piece of linen, In size and appearance
it resembles à small napkin. It is spread out on the altar,
and the chalice is placed upon it. During the Mass the
Sacred Host rests for a time on the Corporal.

The Burse: is a square container for the Corporal. It is made

The Sacred "Vestments

The Vestments of the Celebrant

By God's command the Jewish priests wore a distinctive
garb when they ministered in the Temple. The Bible tells
us they were vested in violet and purple, scarlet twice dyed,
and fine linen. Gold and precious stones were also used to
give the person of the priest that dignity demanded by his
exalted office.

No special dress was at first prescribed for the Christian
priesthood. During the early days the garments worn at
the Holy Sacrifice were not dissimilar in form to the clothing
of civilians. They were distinguished, however, from profane
&pparel in richness and beauty of decorations; and of course,
their use was restricted to divine worship.

Secular fashion changed, but the Church clung to the old
Style. Thus it was that garments once common to all, pres-
ently became the privileged dress of the clergy. Faith then
saw in each particular vestment a symbol relating to the
Passion of Our Lord, and a reminder of some Christian duty.

The priest’s vestments may be considered now:

(a) According to their present use.

(b) According to their historical origin.

(c) According to their symbolism.
THE AMICE

The amice is a piece of fine linen in the form of an oblong.
The priest places it for a moment on his head, and then allows
it to rest upon his shoulders. As he does so he prays: “Place,
O Lord, on my head the helmet of salvation, that so I may
resist the assaults.of the devil.”

Historical Origin:

A covering for the head and neck worn like a hood.
When indoors it was lowered and thrown over the
‘shoulders.

REQUISITES AND PRAYERS FOR HOLY MASS 63

Symbolic Reference:

(a) The linen cloth that the soldiers put over Our Lord’s
head; when thus blindfolded He was mockingly asked
who struck Him.

(b) The helmet of Salvation. Cf. Ephes. vi, 17.

THE ALB
A wide linen robe reaching to the feet and covering the
whole body. The word “Alb” is derived from the Latin, alba
(vestis understood), or white vestment. The vesting prayer
is: “Make me white, O Lord, and cleanse my heart; that being
made white in the Blood of the Lamb I may deserve an
eternal reward."
Historical: Origin:
The alb, or tunic, was worn in ancient times by all who
enjoyed any dignity. The lace alb is a 17th century
development.
Symbolic Reference:
(a) The garment with which Herod clothed Our Lord.
(b) Signifies the purity of conscience demanded of God's
priest.

THE CINCTURE
The cincture, or girdie, is a cord of linen fastened about the
waist to confine the alb. 'The vesting prayer is: ''Gird me,
O Lord, with the cincture of purity, and quench in my heart
the fire of concupiscence, that the virtue of continence and
chastity may abide in me."
Historical Origin:
Walking and active exertion made it necessary for one to
gird up a long garment like the alb. Hence the cincture
was an essential article of dress.
Symbolic Reference:
(a) The cord that bound Our Lord to the pillar when He
Was being scourged.
(b) Symbolizes modesty, and also readiness. for hard
work in God's service.

THE MANIPLE
A strip of silken cloth worn on the left arm of the priest.
The vesting prayer is: “May I deserve, O Lord, to bear the
maniple of weeping and sorrow in order that I may joyfully
reap the reward of my labors.”
Historical Origin:
Originally a strip of linen worn over the arm. During
the long services, and in the intense heat of southern
countries its use was frequently necessary to wipe the
perspiration from the face and brow.

THE STOLE

A long band of silk of the same width as the maniple, but
three times its length. It is worn around the neck and
crossed on the breast.: The vesting prayer is: “Restore to me,
O Lord, the state of immortality which I lost through the sin
of my first parents and, although unworthy to approach Thy
Sacred Mysteries, may I deserve nevertheless eternal joy.”

Historical Origin:.

A kind of neck-piece or kerchief; ; a part of the dress of the

upper classes. It gradually became the distinctive mark

of spiritual authority in the higher clerics, viz., the priest
and deacon.
Symbolic Reference:

(a) The cords with which Jesus was tied. Worn as it is
over the shoulders, it reminds us, too, of the Cross
Our Lord carried.

(b) A reminder of the Yoke of Christ. ‘The priest’s bur-
den is a heavy one, which Christ nevertheless makes
sweet and light.

THE CHASUBLE

The chasuble is the outer and chief vestment of the priest.
It is essentially tie Mass vestment and is now exclusively
reserved to the priest. The vestment is familiar to all by
reason of thé. cross usually embroidered on it. The word
“chasuble” is derived from the Latin, casula, a little house.
The ancient vestment completely enveloped the priest, and
was somewhat like a tent. The vesting prayer is: “O Lord,
who hast said, ‘My yoke is sweet and My burden light,’ grant
that I may so carry it as to merit Thy grace."

Historical Origin:

Imagine a large circular cloth with a hole eut in the
center for the head. This will help one to visualize the
ancient chasuble, which was an immense cloak, without
opening in front, and without sleeves, It was put on over
the head and completely enveloped the body. When it
was necessary to use the hands, the garment had to be
folded up on each side over the arms. Because of its
inconvenience (for two assistants were needed to manipu-
late it), the vestment was gradualy cut and altered until
it now has its present shape.

(b) An emblem of love. When the ordaining bishop gives
jt to the new priest, he says: “Receive the priestly
garment, for the Lord is powerful to increase in you
love and perfection."

Vestments of the Deacon and Subdeacon and.
Their Office

The Deacon:—This word means servitor. One of the prin-
cipal duties of this sacred minister js to assist the priest
during Solemn High Mass and other solemn ceremonies. He
is always at his side, and, by the place of honor which he occu-
pies, he reminds us of the Beloved Disciple leaning on the
Heart of Jesus during the Last Supper, and standing under
ihe cross of Calvary.

The deacon chants the Gospel, and dismisses the people
at the end of Mass by intoning: “Ite, Missa est.”

His vestments are the amice, alb, cincture, stole, and dal-
matic; except the latter, all have already been explained.

The Dalmatic: This vestment was originally worn at Dal-
matia, whence it was brought to Rome. It is a long and ample
garment, with very large but short sleeves, descending only to
the elbow, From the second century among the Romans it
was the vestment of the emperors: the Church adopted it
for the Sovereign Pontiff and the bishops. 'The deacons re-
ceived it from Pope Sylvester, but the privilege of wearing it
was confined to the deacons of the Church at Rome, and for
them only granted on festival-days as a sign of joy; conse-
quently, it was laid aside during Advent, Lent, and fast-days,
periods of sadness and mourning in the Church.

e dalmatic is of the same color as the chasuble of the
priest. ;

The deacon does not wear the stole in the same manner 8s
the priest; he places it on the left shoulder, and brings the
extremities under the right arm.

The Subdeacon.—This minister is charged with the prepa-
ration of the sacred vessels, the bread and wine of the sacri-
fice, giving the water to the celebrant when he washes hls
hands, and reading the Epistle. His vestments are the amice,
alb, girdle, maniple, and tunic. The tunic was formerly dis-
tinguished from the dalmatic by its form and material; now
: i in all respects like it, The Subdeacon does not wear the
stole.

From the “offertory” until the “Pater Noster" at Solemn
Mass he wears the humeral veil like a shawl over his shoul-
ders, in the folds of which he holds the paten. This veil is
&n oblong piece of silk of the color of the vestments of the day.
It has strings to tie it in front.

The Vestments Worn at Benediction

The Cope.—It is a large semi-circular cloak, reaching to
the feet and having a small cape in the back. It is clasped
in front at the breast. The cope is worn by the officiating
priest at Benediction of the Blessed Sacrament and in pro-
cessions. It is likewise used at the "Asperges" before High
Mass, at funeral services, and in solemn blessings connected
with Mass,—like the blessing of the ashes on Ash-Wednesday
and of the palms on Palm Sunday. The humeral vell as
described above, but in white, is worn by the priest when hold-
ing the Monstrance to give Benediction,

The Colors of the Vestments

There are five liturgical colors: White, Green, Red, Purple,

and Black.

"White: is the symbol of purity. It is used on all feasts of
Our Lord except those relating to His sufferings; on
feasts of Our Lady; on the feasts of saints that are not
martyrs.

Red: is the figure of blood and fire. The Church assigns it
to the feasts of the martyrs and apostles; to Pentecost
Sunday; to feasts connected with the Passion of Our

Ord.
Green: is the symbol of hope. It is used on the Sundays

from Epiphany to Septuagesima and on the Sundays
after Pentecost.

(The Sacred Congregation of Rites permits the use
of gold vestments instead of red, white or green, pro-
vided the material be of pure cloth of gold.)

Violet: the penitential color, is used during Advent and
Lent and on the Vigils of the greater feasts. (Vest-
ments of rose color may be worn in place of violet on
two days during the year: the third Sunday of Advent,
Gaudete Sunday; and the fourth Sunday of Lent,
Letare Sunday).

Black: the sign of mourning, is used on Good Friday, and in
Masses of the Dead.

High Mass and Low Mass

High Mass: that which is celebrated by a priest, assisted by
deacon and subdeacon, with ali the solemnity of chant,
incense and full ceremonial.

Low Mass: is said by a priest alone, with one or two servers,
and is a shortened or simplified form of the High Mass,

Missa Cantata: The so-called sung Mass, or Missa Cantata,
is & modern compromise between a Low and a High Mass.
At a Missa Cantata the ceremonies are somewhat abbre-
viated because of the absence of the sacred ministers;
incense is not permitted, and the celebrant himself sings
the Gospel in the deacon’s stead. :

- The Asperges

-The Asperges, from the Latin aspergere, to wash or sprinkle,
1s a rite at least fifteen centuries old, which precedes the prin-
cipal Mass on Sunday. It is performed by the celebrant of
the Mass, who sprinkles the congregation with holy water
while reciting a verse from Psalm 50: “Thou shalt sprinkle
me with hyssop; and I shall be cleansed; Thou shalt wash me
and I shall be made whiter than snow” (verse 8). At Easter-
tide there is substituted for this versicle the Church’s anti-
phon, “Vidi Aquam." The ceremony of sprinkling the con-
gregation grew out of an old custom of blessing water for the
faithful on Sunday mornings. In a ninth-century document
we read: “Every Sunday, before the celebration of Mass, the
priest shall bless water in his church and, for this holy pur-
pose he shall use a clean and suitable vessel, The people,
when entering the church, are to be sprinkled with this water,
and those who so desire may carry some away,”

with it. Uniformity in this matter would greatly add to the
edification of the people and tend to enhance the sacred
functions.

Loto Mass

HEN the celebrant enters the sanctuary . the laity rise

and remain standing till he descends to the foot of

the altar to begin Mass. They then kneel and remain so

throughout the Mass, except during the two Gospels, during

which they stand. (Rubricæ Generales Missalis, Tit. 17, n. 2.)

De Herdt (Vol. 1, n. 146) says that this rubric is not preceptive
but directive only.

Note.—When the last Gospel is that of St. John they make

a simple genufiection with the priest. at the words “Et

Verbum," etc. then rise and remain standing until the priest
reaches the foot of the altar,

Asperges

1. Stand when the celebrant enters the sanctuary and
remain standing until the end of the Asperges. Do not kneel
when the celebrant kneels and: intones the Asperges or Vidi
Aquam.

2. Sit whilst the celebrant is removing the cope and putting
on the chasuble.

3. Stand when the celebrant goes to the altar.

: High Mass

The rubrics give no direction. Gavantus (Pars I, Tit. 17)
and Pouget (Institutiones Catholice in modum Catecheseos,
Pars 3, Sect. 2, cap 7, § 20) say that the people may conform
to the rules given for those who are in choir. Hence the
people—

1. Stand—from the time the celebrant enters the sanctuary
to the beginning of the Mass.

2. Kneel—-from the beginning of the Mass until the cele-
brant ascends the altar after the Confiteor.

3. Stand—from the time the celebrant ascends the altar
until he goes to the bench after the intonation of the Gloria,
During the singing of the Kyrie eleison the people sit if the
celebrant sits.

to the end of the Orations.

6. Sit—from the beginning of the Epistle to the Dominus
vobiscum before the Gospel.

Credo; during the latter they make a genuflection on one knee at
Et incarnatus est.

8. Sit - when the celebrant takes his seat, and whilst the Credo
is being sung by the choir, except at the Et incarnatus est...et
homo factus est, when they kneel on both knees.

9. Stand - when the celebrant rises to return to the altar and
remain standing whilst he sings Dominus vobiscum and Ore-
mus. A

10. Sit - from the Oremus to the beginning of the Preface - Per

celebrant begins the Sanctus.

12. Kneel - from the Hosanna, etc., until the Per omnia saecula
saeculorum before the Pater Noster.

Nore. - The S. C. Indulg. issued a decree June 12, 1907, according to
which all who look at the Sacred Host when it is elevated at Mass or
when the Blessed Sacrament is solemnly exposed and recite the
ejaculation “My Lord and My God.” may gain an indulgence of seven
years and seven times forty days, besides a plenary indulgence once a
week if this is done daily and the sacraments are received. Hence the
laity should bow when the celebrant genuflects, look at the Sacred Host
when the celebrant elevates it, and bow again when the celebrant
genuflects after elevating it.

13. Stand - from the Pater Noster until the Agnus Dei.

14. Kneel - from the Agnus Dei until the Dominus vobiscum
before the Postcommunion.

15. Stand - during the Postcommunion and remain standing
until the celebrant gives the Blessing.

16. Kneel - during the Blessing.

17. Stand - during the Last Gospel and remain standing until
the celebrant has left the sanctuary.

Note. - When the Last Gospel is that of St. John, the people should
make a simple genuflection with the priest at the words "Et Verbum, "
etc., then rise and remain standing until the celebrant has left the
sanctuary.

Requiem and Ferial filagses

The rules given above are to be observed, except -

1. Kneel during the prayers before the Epistle and after the
Communion.

2. Kneel from the Benedictus through to the Last Gospel.

REQUISITES AND PRAYERS FOR HOLY MASS 71

Note I—If, whilst sitting, the celebrant doffs his biretta,
the people should make a bow by bending the head and to
some extent the shoulders also,

Note IIL—When the celebrant bows or makes the sign of the
cross in those parts of the Mass which he recites in a clear
&nd intelligible tone of voice, the people should do the same.

Note III.—As often as the celebrant makes a genuflection or
kneels, because the rubrics prescribe it, between the begin-
ning of Mass and the Offertory (e.g., at the Adjuva nos in the
Trect on Ash Wednesday and at Emisit spiritum during the
reading of the Passion on Palm Sunday) the people do the

The Ordinary ano tbe Proper Patts
of the Mass

"The English form of the Ordinary of the Mass is given here
for study purposes only. The Latin has been omitted since it
is in the “Ordinary of the Mass" for regular use on page 756
Thus the beginner may have at hand the copious notes and
instructions interspersed throughout which were provided by
Father Lasance, and readily familiarize himself with the order
of Holy Mass and the sequence of the prayers. This will be
so much easier of accomplishment as the reading and study
of this form is correlated with the explanation of “The Parts
of the Mass” taken from “Read Mass with the Priest" by Rev.
William R, Kelly. After this knowledge has been acquired the
“Ordinary of the Mass” in Latin and English as contained for
practical purposes on page 756 should be used because it per-
mits smoothly progressive reading.

To find what Mass ts to be celebrated on any given day,
consult “The Universal Calendar” at the end of this book
and then turn to the alphabetical index to ascertain the page
on which the Mass for the celebration of the designated feast
is contained.

The Parts of the Mass

Each Mass contains certain prayers and rites which are
fized, i.e., they do not change and this is called the Ordinary
of the Mass. But it also contains other prayers which vary
according to the feast and this portion of the Mass is called
the Proper of the Mass. These variable parts are the Introit,
the Prayer or Collect, the Epistle or Lesson with their Gradual
Tract or Sequence, the Gospel, the Offertory, Antiphon, the
Secret, the Communion Antiphon and the Postcommunion
These parts are indicated by a y so they may readily be
recognized.

The Drapers and Ceremonies of tbe
Ordinary of the Mass

The Mass of the Catechumens

The Mass of the Catechumens extends from the prayers at
the foot of the altar until the Offertory. It is a kind of
prelude to the great act of sacrifice which begins with the
Offertory and concludes with the end of the Mass. It is
called “The Mass of the Catechumens" because in the early
Church, the Catechumens, who were those under instruction
and had not yet been baptized and admitted to the Church,
were allowed to attend only this first part of the Mass,

Whe Preparation

As the first step in his preparation to say Mass the priest
recites certain prayers privately before vesting. These prayers
will be found at the end of this book and are recommended
to the laity as a special preparation for the reception of Holy
Communion. Indulgence, one year. Leo XIII, Feb. 17, 1883.

When the priest enters the Sanctuary, stand until he begins
the prayers at the foot of the altar. Then kneel.

Standing at the foot of the altar steps, and signing himself

PRAYERS AND CEREMONIES OF MASS 16

with the sign of the holy cross, the priest begins, the acolytes
or other ministers responding: 1

In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy
Ghost. Amen.

The priest, folding his hands, says the Antiphon.

P. I will go in to the altar of God.

Hf. To God, Who giveth joy to my youth.

Now the priest recites the 42nd Psaim, "Judge me, O God,
etc." and immediately adds the Confiteor, Therein expressed
are the sentiments which. ought to animate both priest and
people at this sacred time. (The priest humbled at the foot
of the altar represents Jesus in the Garden of Olives.) (See
Mass Picture, “The Beginning of Mass—The Confiteor," page
791).

Psalm 42

From Passion Sunday till Holy Saturday exclusively, and
in Masses for the dead, the following psalm is omitted. In
this event continue at the Confiteor.

Judge me, O God, and distinguish my cause from the nation
that is not holy; deliver me from the unjust and deceitful man.

I. For Thou art, God, my strength: why hast Thou cast
me off? and why do I go sorrowful whilst the enemy afilicteth
me?

P. Send forth Thy light and Thy truth: they have con-
ducted me, and brought me unto Thy holy hill, and into Thy
tabernacles.

RY. And I will go in to the altar of God; to God, Who giveth
joy to my youth.

P. To Thee, O God, my God, I will give praise upon the
harp: why art thou sad, O my soul, and why dost thou dis~
quiet me?

BY. Hope in God, for I will still give praise to Him, the
salvation of my countenance and my God.

P. Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy
Ghost.

Bí. As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be,
world without end. Amen.

P. I will go in to the altar of God.

RY. To God, Who giveth joy to my youth.

The Confiteor or Public Confession

The priest makes the sign of the cross and says:

1The directions given throughout this Ordinary of the
Mass when to kneel, stand or sit are the general customs for
Low Mass, Consult the “Ceremonies for the Laity,” page 68.
However, frequently it is the rule to kneel all through Low
Mass and stand at the two Gospels.

http://ccwatershed.org

76 PRAYERS AND CEREMONIES OF MASS

P. Our help is in the name of the Lord.

RY. Who made heaven and earth.

Joining his hands and bowing profoundly, the priest con-
tinues:

I confess to almighty God, to blessed Mary, ever virgin, to
blessed Michael the archangel, to blessed John the Baptist, to
the holy apostles Peter and Paul, to all the saints, and to you,
brethren, that I have sinned exceedingly in thought, word, and
deed: (Here the priest strikes his breast three times) through
my fault, through my fault, through my most grievous fault.
Therefore I beseech the blessed Mary, ever virgin, blessed
Michael the archangel, blessed John the Baptist, the holy
apostles Peter and Paul, all the saints, and you, brethren, to
pray to the Lord our God for me.

B. May almighty God have mercy on thee and, having
forgiven thee thy sins, bring thee to life everlasting.

P. Amen.

The priest rises and the ministers or the acolytes bowing
down, recite the Confiteor.

The priest now says:

P. May almighty God have mercy on you and, having
forgiven you your sins, bring you to life everlasting.

B. Amen.

Signing himself with the sign of the cross he continues:

P. May the almighty and merciful God grant us pardon,
absolution, and remission of our sins.

RY. Amen.

Bowing moderately the priest continues:

P. Thou wilt turn again, O God, and quicken us.

RY. And Thy people shall rejoice in Thee.

P. Show us, O Lord, Thy mercy.

K. And grant us Thy salvation.

P. O Lord, hear my prayer.

BY. And let my cry come unto Thee.

P. The Lord be with you.

RB. And with thy spirit.

P. Let us pray.

Then going up to the altar the- priest prays silently:

Take away from us our iniquities, we beseech Thee, O Lord;
that, being made pure in heart, we may be worthy to enter
into the Holy of holies, Through Christ our Lord. Amen.

Bowing down over the altar, he kisses it anq says:

We beseech Thee, O Lord, by the merits of those of Thy
saints whose relics are here, and of all the saints, that

http://ccwatershed.org

PRAYERS AND CEREMONIES OF MASS 77

Thou wouldst. vouchsafe to pardon me all my sins. Amen.

- Á The Jntroit ;

In the ancient days the Introit (from the Latin “he enters”)
usually a selection from Holy Scripture, was chanted while
the priest and his attendants were going in procession to the
altar, Often, but not always, the Introit sounds the keynote
of the Mass, for instance, rejoicing on Letare Sunday, (4th
Bunday. of Lent, page 327). (See Mass Picture—The Introit,

age E
E Saniko to the left or Epistle side of the altar, he reads the
Introit, which varies according to the Mass that is being cele-
brated, and which will be found in its place in the order of
proper Masses, page 103 to page 752, in this book. (In this
connection attention is called to the directions for finding the
Proper Part of a Mass in “Read Mass with the Priest, page 43.)

Then alternately with his ministers and with folded hands
he says: v ;

The Kprie Eleison

Kyrie Eleison: These are Greek words. Kyrie Eleison—Lord
have mercy. Christe Eleison—Christ have mercy. “The Kyrie
Eleison, that cry for mercy .. . seems introduced as if to give
grander effect to the outburst of joy and praise which suc-
ceeds: it in the Gloria in Excelsis” (Cardinal Wiseman).

P. Lord, have mercy on us.

Hf. Lord, have mercy on us.

P. Lord, have mercy on us.

BY. Christ, have mercy on us.

P. Christ, have mercy on us.

W. Christ, have mercy on us.

P. Lord, have mercy on us.

K. Lord, have mercy on us.

P. Lord, have mercy on us.

He now moves to the center of the altar, and recites:

g The Gloria in Exrelsig?

This is omitted in Lent and Advent, and in Masses for the
dead. 1

The Gloria is the Church's greatest hymn of praise. Its first
words are from the angels hymn on the night of the Divine
Saviour’s birth. In the Gloria the Church renders honor, and
glory, and thanksgiving, to the Father, the Son, and the Holy
Ghost. (See Mass Picture “The Gloria in Excelsis," page 761).

1At high Mass the priest, before reading the Introit, blesses
incense, saying:

Mayest thou be blessed by Him in Whose honor thou art to
be burnt. Amen. .

He then incenses the altar and, is himself incensed. by his
deacon.

2In high Masses the celebrant sings the first words of the
Gloria in excelsis Deo, which is then taken up by the choir;
the celebrant and ministers being seated until it is finished.

78 PRAYERS AND CEREMONIES OF MASS

Glory be to God on high, and on earth peace to men of
good will. We praise Thee, we bless Thee, we adore 'Thee, we
glorify Thee. We give Thee thanks for Thy great glory. O
Lord God, heavenly king, God the Father almighty. O Lord
Jesus Christ, the only-begotten Son, O Lord God, Lamb of
God, Son of the Father. Who takest away the sins of the
world, have mercy on us. Who takest away the sins of the
world, receive our prayer. Who sittest at the right hand of
the Father, have mercy on us. For Thou alone art holy; Thou
alone art the Lord; Thou alone, O Jesus Christ, together
(he makes the sign of the Cross) with the Holy Ghost, art
most high in the glory of God the Father. Amen.

After his recitation of the Gloria the priest kisses the altar.
The significance of the act is obvious, since the altar stands
for Christ Himself. Turning to the people and with arms
extended, the priest then says or sings:

P. The Lord be with you.

To which the server responds:

Bí. And with thy spirit.

This greeting of the celebrant is a sacramental and there-

fore a means of grace for those hearers who are properly dis-
posed.

* The Praper or Collect

Here follow the Prayers (also called “Collects”) appointed
for the day which will be found in their proper places for
each Mass in the book. The priest says or sings them at the
Tight or Epistle side of the altar.

After his greeting the priest says “Oremus,” "Let us pray,"
exhorting the congregation to join him in the prayer of the
Mass. This prayer is found in the Missal immediately after
the Introit. The number of prayers varies according to the
day. On the greater feasts there is only one prayer; the
second and third prayers said on other days are called Com-
memorations, The prayer usually begins with an address to
the Almighty, is followed by an appeal expressed very briefly
and fervently, and always ends with mention of the Three
Divine Persons. God Himself seems to have inspired the com-
poser of these ancient petitions. No prayers can compare
with them in simplicity and unction.

The endings of the Prayers vary according to the nature of
the Prayer. For explanation see page 819.

* ' The Epistle or Lesson

The priest next reads the Epistle, or Lesson, from the Mass
he is celebrating, with the Gradual, or Tract or Sequence
ar ee ESSEN,

1At Solemn High Mass the Epistle is sung by the subdeacon,
the choir afterwards singing the Gradual.

http://ccwatershed.org

PRAYERS AND CEREMONIES OF MASS 79

which will be found in their proper place for each Mass in
the book. At the end the server answers “Thanks be to God”
(Deo Gratias).

The Epistle is a passage from the Bible read after the last
Prayer, It is also called *Lectio"—lesson or reading. It may
be a reading from the Epistles of the New Testament. The
custom of reading parts of the Bible in public is very ancient.
It is quite likely that the early Church followed the Temple
tradition in this respect. At the end of the Epistle the people
were wont to answer “Deo Gratias, “Thanks be to God."
The Epistle is generally read aloud to the people along with
the Gospel. (See Mass Picture, "The Epistle," page 763).

The Gradual, as we now have it, is composed of only two
psalm verses. Originally a whole psalm was sung by the
deacon between the Epistle and Gospel. It was introduced
to keep up the interest of the falthful during the very long
ceremonies of the ancient Church. There is evidence to show
that the people liked good singing.

The Alleluia: a Hebrew expression meaning “Praise ye the
Lord,” is repeated twice after the Gradual. It is omitted
during the penitential season, its place then being taken by
the Tract. The Sequence is a hymn used on certain occasions.
Five Sequences are found today in the Roman Missal; there
were many others in the Middle Ages. These are found on
pages 540, 599, 636, 969, 1503.

The priest, returning to the center, bows down over the
altar and says silently the prayer of preparation for the read-
ing of the holy Gospel:

The Munda Cor Meum

Cleanse my heart and my lips, Who didst cleanse with a
burning coal the lips of the prophet Isaias; and vouchsafe in
Thy loving-kindness so to purify me that I may be enabled
worthily to announce Thy holy Gospel. Through Christ our
Lord. Amen. ]

Vouchsafe, O Lord, to bless me.

The Lord be in my heart and on my lips, that I mey
worthily and becomingly announce His Gospel. Amen.

* The Gospel *

The Gospel is an extract from one of the four Evangelists.

1At Solemn High Mass, after the celebrant has read the
Gospel, in a low tone, the deacon, taking the book of the Holy
Gospels from the altar, kneels before the celebrant and asks
his blessing:

Pray, sir, a blessing.

The Lord be in thy heart and on thy lips, that worthily
and becomingly thou mayest announce His Gospel: In the
pate of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost.

en,

Then the deacon goes to the place appointed, and sings the
Gospel to the end. The celebrant kisses the Sacred Text as
above, and ts then incensed by the deacon,

http://ccwatershed.org

80 PRAYERS AND CEREMONIES OF MASS

Our English word gospel from the Anglo-Saxon god (good)
spell (speak), signifies good news, In apostolic days the sacred
text was read at some length during the liturgical services
of the Church. Later on, Pope St. Damasus (A.D. 304-384)
selected definite passages, bound them in a book called the
Evangeliarium and appointed them to be read on certain days.
In another~ Volume, the Epistolarium, were gathered the
Epistles; in the Psalterium, the psalms; and in the Sacra-
mentarium, the rites and prayers for the celebrant. These
four books were duly arranged and combined in one volume
centuries later. This volume is the Roman Missal. The por-
tion of the Gospel read in Mass is chosen for the useful lesson
it imparts. Before the priest reads, he signs himself with the
cross upon the forehead, lips and heart, the symbolism of the
act being at cnce apparent. A homily or sermon followed the
public reading of the Gospel. The catechumens and penl-
tents were then excluded, so that the Mass up to this point
was called fhe Mass of the Catechumens. Only the faithful
might remain for the Sacred Mystery, hence the Mass from
the Offertory to the end was called the Mass of the Faithful.
(See Mass Picture, “The Priest Reads the Gospel,” page 764).

Passing to the right or Gospel corner of the altar, the priest
says:

P, The Lord be with you.

Bí. And with thy spirit.

P. The continuation (or beginning) of the holy Gospel
according to N. (Here he announces the name of the
Evangelist.) .

Jy. Glory be to Thee, O Lord.

The Gospel ended, the acolyte answers:

W. Praise be to Thee, O Christ.

Kissing the words of the Sacred Text, the priest says:

May our sins be blotted out by the words of the Gospel.

The Ricene Creed

The Creed is the public and solemn profession of the Faith,
Its text was not made known to the catechumens of early
times until they had been tried and approved. For more than
three centuries the Apostles’ Creed alone was in use. Then in
the fourth century. a more explicit statement of belief, the
Nicene Creed, was formulated against the errors of the time,
and it is this creed that is recited in. the Mass. (See Mass
Picture, “The Credo,” page 765).

The priest returns to the middle of the altar and recites
the Creed, if it is to be said. (For the text of the Nicene
Creed see page 765). It is said or sung at Mass on all Sun-
days, on other days whenever indicated.

The Mass of the Faithful

This portion of the Mass has three principal parts: (a.) The
Offertory, beginning with the verse called “The Offertory" to

http://ccwatershed.org

PRAYERS AND CEREMONIES OF MASS 81

the "Preface" during which time the bread and wine are pre-
Dared for the Sacrifice. This verse is a portion of the "Long
Psalm” which used to be sung at this point while the people
Walked to the altar to present, or offer their gifts. (b.) The
Canon of the Mass, introduced by the “Preface” and extend-
ing to just before the “Pater Noster” (The Our Father) and
including, therefore, the “Consecration” which is the sacri-
ficial act of. the Mass, known sometimes as the "Action."
(c.) The. Communion, prefaced by. the “Pater Noster" and ex-
tending to the conclusion of the Mass. The "Communion"
consists of first the preparation. for the reception of Holy
Communion and secondly of the Thanksgiving after reception
of Holy Communion. 'The entire part is called Mass of ihe
Faithful because in the early church the Catechumens were
excluded before the Offertory, while the Faithful, who were
baptized in good standing, remained also for the sacrifice of
the Mass and partook of Holy Communion.

The priest now proceeds to the Offertory. He kisses the
altar; then turning to the people, he salutes them:
P. The Lord be with you. :
BY. And with thy spirit.
P. Let us pray.

ISE) x - Uhe Offertory!

Now he reads the Psalm-verse appointed which will be found
in its proper place for each Mass in this book. At high Mass
it is to be sung by the choir. This verse was originally a
whole psalm, which was chanted while the people walked up
to the sanctuary with their offerings. The Offertory, as an
act, is accomplished as the priest offers the bread and wine
while reciting the prayer “Receive, O holy Father,” and the
four oblation prayers that follow. (See Mass Picture, “The
Offering of the Host," page 767). :

The priest now uncovers the chalice,

Offering of the Wost

Taking the host to be consecrated, which is lying on the
paten solemnly consecrated for the holding of the body of
Christ, he makes the oblation, saying ‘silently: .

Receive, O holy Father, almighty and eternal God, this
spotiess host, which I, Thine unworthy servant, offer unto
Thee, my living and true God, for my countless sins, tres-
passes, and omissions; likewise for all here present, and for
all faithful Christians, whether living or dead, that it may
avail both me and them to salvation, unto life everlasting.
Amen.

1 Here at Solemn High Mass the subdeacon proceeds to the
eredence table and putting on the Humeral Veil he takes the
covered chalice to the altar, giving it to the deacon who hands
the paten with the host to the celebrant.

http://ccwatershed.org

82 PRAYERS AND CEREMONIES OF MASS

Making the sign of the cross with the paten he places the
host upon the corporal. He proceeds to the Epistle side and
pours wine.and water into the chalice, blessing the ‘water
before pouring it (but in Masses for the Dead the blessing of
the water is omitted). While doing this, he recites the prayer
below: “O God, Who in creating man" (Deus qui humane).

This is a telling Mlustration of the perfect and indissoluble
union of the divinity with the humanity of Jesus through
the Incarnation of the Word; and, according to the prayer
of the Church, it is likewise & touching symbol of the union
of Jesus with all Christians and especially with every single
one who assists at Holy Mass; for the priest petitions the
heavenly Father to unite our poor human nature so closely
with the divinity of Jesus that nothing may ever be abie to
separate it. And even as these few drops of water lose them-
selves in the wine, so may also we lose ourselves in the
divinity of Christ.—Herbst, Holy Mass.

O God, Who in creating man didst exalt his nature very
wonderfully and yet more wonderfully didst establish it anew;
by the mystery signified in the mingling of this water and
wine grant us to have part in the Godhead of Him Who hath
vouchsafed to share our manhood, Jesus Christ Thy Son, Our
Lord, Who liveth and reigneth with Thee in the unity of the
Holy Ghost; God, world without end. Amen.

Offering of the Chalice

The celebrant offers the chalice with the words:

We offer unto Thee, O Lord, the chalice of salvation, be-
seeching Thy clemency that it may ascend as a sweet odor
before Thy divine majesty, for our own salvation, and for that
of the whole world. Amen.

Making the sign of the cross with the chalice, and placing
it on the corporal, he covers it with the pali?

Bowing down over the altar the celebrant goes on:

Humbled in mind, and contrite of heart, may we find favor
with Thee, O Lord: and may the sacrifice we this day offer up
be well-pleasing to Thee, Who art our Lord and our God.

Raising his eyes to heaven he invokes the Holy Ghost upon
the oblation, over which he makes the sign of the cross, say-
ing: : l

1 Here at Solemn High Mass the deacon pours the wine into
the chalice, the subdeacon afterwards adding a jew dropa of
the water which the celebrant has blessed,

2 Here at Solemn High Mass the subdeacon receives from the
deacon the paten, which he covers with the extremity of the
veil worn over his shoulders; he then proceeds to the foot of
the altar-steps, and takes his stand behind the priest. He
holds the paten before his eyes until the conclusion of the
Pater Noster. In Masses for the.dead the paten is not removed
from the altar nor is the humeral veil worn by the subdeacon.

Following the offering of the bread and wine water is

When the people had made their offerings in kind, that 1s,
bread, wine, fruits, etc., the priest’s hands were perhaps a bit
soiled. Practical reasons would thus require an ablution.
And, of course, the external washing symbolized the inward
purity expected of God's minister at the sublime Sacrifice.
While washing his hands, the priest recites the second half
of Psaim 25. (See Mass Picture, “The Lavabo—The Priest
Washes His Hands,” page 770).

I will wash my hands among the innocent: and will com-

Bowing down over the middle of the altar the priest con-
tinues the prayer of oblation:

Receive, O holy Trinity, this oblation offered up by us to
Thee, in memory of the passion, resurrection, and ascension
of Our Lord Jesus Christ, and in honor of blessed Mary, ever
& virgin, of blessed John the Baptist, of the holy apostles
Peter and Paul, of these, and of all the saints, that it may
be available to their honor and to our salvation: and may
they whose memory we celebrate on earth vouchsafe to inter-
cede for us in heaven. 'Through the same Christ our Lord.
Amen.

The Orate Fratres
Feeling his unworthiness, the priest, after he kisses the
altar, turns to the people imploring them with raised voice:

(See Mass Picture, “The Orate Fratres," page 772).

Brethren, pray (and turning back to the altar continues
silently) that my sacrifice and -yours may be well pleasing to
God the Father almighty.

To which they answer through the server:

. May the Lord receive this sacrifice at thy hands, to the
praise and glory of His name, to our own benefit, and to that
of all His holy Church.

To this the priest adds Amen.

* The Secret Praper

Then with hands extended, the priest says the Secret prayers.
Their order and number are the same as the Prayers said. at
the beginning of Mass, and will be found in the proper place
in each Mass.

http://ccwatershed.org

PRAYERS AND CEREMONIES OF MASS 85

The Secret was originally the one prayer of oblation re-
cited by the priest over the bread and wine he. was to con-
Secrate. It is said inaudibly, for here the priest is acting as a
mediator speaking directly to God on behalf of man.

As he finishes the last of the Secret prayers he raises his
voice, saying, or singing:

World without end.

And the server answers, Amen.

The Preface

Next follows the Preface which for high Mass is set to an
impressive chant.. The Preface said or sung on Sundays which
includes Trinity Sunday is the so-called “Sunday Preface,” also
named “Preface of the Blessed Trinity" (page 773). The
“Common Preface,” also named “Ferial or Weekday Preface”
(page 775), is said throughout the year on all weekdays and
feasts that have no special Preface, For days that have a
Special Preface directions are given in the respective Masses,
These Special Prefaces are found on pages 798 to 818. i

The Preface, or introduction to the Canon, is a hymn of
thanksgiving and praise. It is preceded by an invitation to
the people to raise their hearts to God, and ends with the
words of the seraphim incessantly sung before the throne of
God. We should humbly acknowledge our unworthiness and
seek to unite our praises with their acceptable Song of Tri-
umph—the Trisagion (thrice holy). (See Mass Picture, “The
Preface," page 773).

The Canon of the Mass

Having with those present, after the example of our blessed
Lord at the last supper, given solemn thanks to God, the
Father almighty, for all His blessings, the priest alone and
silently, enters upon the rite proper to the offering up of the
unbloody sacrifice of the New Testament, called the Canon of
of the Mass. '

It is the. most solemn—the most mysterious--portion of the
Holy Sacrifice. St. Gregory and St. Augustine refer to the
Canon as "the prayer par excellence.” Other early writers on
the liturgy of the Mass allude to the Canon as “The Action,”
or “The Mystery of the Most Holy Action,” “because,” as
Father Gavin, S.J. explains “the body and blood of Jesus

Christ in the Mass is wrought or made (conficitur) by the
greatest ‘action’ or act in this world."

"It has been called the Action," writes another liturgist,
Father Vandeur, 0.8.B. “from the Latin expression agere
causam, ‘to plead a cause.’ Indeed, what is the priest about
to do but to plead in the person of Christ the cause of the
universal Church? The word Canon is derived from the Greek,
and signifies rule. It is, in other words, the formula which
must invariably be followed in the consecration of the ele-
ments of bread and wine.”

The Canon, strictly speaking, comprises the fixed forms of
prayer in the Mass, from the Sanctus to the Pater Noster. It
has not been changed, or added to, since the time of Pope
St. Gregory the Great, who lived in the sixth century.

Father M. C. Nieuwbarn, O. P., in his admirable treatise on
the Holy Sacrifice? says in reference to the Canon: “This
selection of liturgical prayers is of unparalleled beauty. They
seem to give utterance to the feelings of our great High Priest,
Jesus Christ, and the mind can not fail to be impressed by
the accents of persevering prayer, and by the spirit of hu-
mility, love and adoration, which pervade these confident ap-
peals to the omnipotent. God, as well as by the impressive
ceremonies which set them forth.

“Sayings of Christ and apostolic traditions form the ground-
work of the Canon, and to this the devotion of Popes has
made additions. Thus the Canon is in the truest sense the
prayer of God’s Church.

“Silence now reigns at the altar. In the Old Law the high
priest entered alone into the Holy of holies. Like Moses, he
spoke alone with God, and the Lord answered him. (Cf. Ez.
19, 10.) Thus, too, the priest recites in silence the wonderful
prayers of the Canon, and renews the mysterious sacrifice of
Christ’s infinite love. The ceremony proceeds in absolute
silence; the priest’s voice no longer alternates in prayer with
that of the people, for he alone is ordained to offer the sacri-
fice in the name of the Church, he alone can come into close
contact with his Lord and his God. Silence envelopes, like a
mysterious veil, the ‘enclosed garden’ (Cant. 4, 12), the ‘sealed
source’ of the divine mysteries. For we are truly in presence
of the mysteries of religion. It is the prayer of prayers which
we are saying, a secret holy action which we are performing.
Silence becomes the representative of the divine high priest
when celebrating the divine mystery. Truly, ‘the Lord is in
His holy temple: let all the earth keep silence before Him’
{Hab, 2, 20).

“The priest first addresses himself to God the Father. Jesus
Christ, however, the divine High Priest, is his intermediary;
through Him he offers the prayers of sacrifice. He redoubles
the fervor of his prayer; he raises his hands and eyes to
heaven, lowers them again, and with a profound inclination
joins his hands in the form of prayer, and rests them upon
the altar. Raising them once more, he blesses the offering.

All these actions represent in a visible manner the spirit of
the Church's prayer, and the sanctifying power of her bless-
ings. During the opening prayer (Te igitur) the priest, be-
fore blessing the offering, Kisses the altar as a sign of rever-
ence and love to Our Lord. This is the last time he kisses the
altar before the solemn moment when the consecrated stone
shal] become the throne of the divine Victim—Jesus Christ.
Introduced by the Preface—that beautiful Prayer of Thanks-
giving—the Canon is pre-eminently a Prayer of Impetration.

The first prayer of the Canon begins with the words:
“Wherefore we humbly pray." The word “Wherefore” con-
nects the Canon with the Preface. Having offered our thanks
to our heavenly Father, we now come to Him and humbly
present our petitions. ,

The Commemoration of the Church

Wherefore, we humbly pray and beseech Thee, most merci-
ful Father, through Jesus Christ, Thy Son, our (Here the
priest kisses the altar) Lord, to receive and to bless these Hm
gifts, these presents, these holy unspotted sacrifices,
which we offer up to Thee, in the first place, for Thy holy
Catholic Church, that it may please Thee to grant her peace,
to guard, unite, and guide her throughout the world; as also
for Thy servant N., our Pope, and N., our bishop, and for all
who are orthodox in belief and who profess the Catholic and
apostolic faith.

The priest while saying the aforegoing prayer makes the
sign of the cross three times over the holy offerings—"'ihree
times; for these oblations are first, gifts, which have come
from God; secondly, presents, which we give back to Him;
and, thirdly, holy unspotted sacrifices, which have been set
apart from every profane use, and which are destined to
become the body of the immaculate Lamb."—Vandeur.

“The bread and wine are called by three names—gifts, things
which we receive from God; presents, which we offer to Him;
holy and unspotted sacrifice, in anticipation of the words of
consecration so soon to be pronounced when these gifts will
be changed into the body and blood of Our Lord.’’-—Gavin,
The Sacrifice of the Mass.

The Commemoration for the Living

Be mindful, O Lord, of Thy servants N. and N.

Pausing for a moment, and joining his hands, the priest
prays silently by name for those whom he desires to remember
especially,

And of all here present, whose faith and devotion are
known to Thee, for whom we offer, or who offer up to Thee,
this sacrifice of praise, for themselves, thelr families, and

The Communicantes.

This is the beginning of the Action or most solemn part of
the Sacrifice. In the following prayer the memory of the
Blessed Virgin and the Saints is venerated and their help im-
plored. ]

The varying forms of this prayer will be found following the
Special Prefaces as indicated on page 798. Directions when to
say these are given in the Masses for certain feasts. ..

Having communion with and venerating the memory, first,
of the glorious Mary, ever a virgin, Mother of Jesus Christ,
our God and our Lord; likewise of Thy blessed apostles and
martyrs, Peter and Paul, Andrew, James, John, Thomas,
James, Philip, Bartholomew, Matthew, Simon, and Thad-
deus; of Linus, Cletus, Clement, Xystus, Cornelius, Cyprian,
Lawrence, Chrysogonus, John and Paul, Cosmas and Damian,
and of all Thy saints: for the sake of whose merits and
prayers do Thou grant that in all things we may be defended
by the help of Thy protection. Through the same Christ our
Lord. Amen. . d

The priest joins his hands at “Through the same Christ,"
etc. Then spreading his hands over the oblation, he prays
that almighty God may graciously accept it. This is a cere-
mony akin to that in the Old Law, when the priest held his
hands extended over the victim he was about to offer as a
sacrifice. (See Mass Picture “The Hanc Igitur. The priest
extends his hands over the host and chalice, page 779.)

The “Iane Igitur” ---3Brapers Before the Consecration .

The sanctuary bell is now usually rung to give notice to
the faithful of the Consecration which is about to take place.

Wherefore, we beseech Thee, O Lord, graciously to receive
this oblation which we Thy servants, and with us Thy whole
family, offer up to Thee: dispose our.days in Thy peace; com-
niand that we be saved from eternal damnation and numbered
among the flock of (The priest joins his hands) Thine elect:
Through Christ our Lord. Amen.

While reciting the following prayer the priest makes the
sign of the cross five times: thrice over the host and the
chalice together; then, once over the host; and once over the
. chalice,

And do Thou, O God, vouchsafe in all respects to bless. "B,

and to render it well pleasing to Thyself, so that it may be-
come for us the body & and blood of Thy most beloved

The Consecration and Elevation

The Consecration begins with the faithful gathered, so to
Speak, in the Upper Room on the eve of Our Lord's Passion.
How touchingly the scene is re-enacted! Another Christ takes
bread into his hands, raises his eyes to heaven, and blesses
the bread with the sign of the cross.

The priest continues:

Who the day before He suffered took bread into His holy
&nd venerable hands (The priest takes the host into his hands,
holding it with the thumbs and index fingers) and having
lifted up His eyes to heaven, (The priest raises his eyes to
heaven) to Thee God, His almighty Father, giving (The priest
makes the sign of the cross over the host) thanks to Thee,
blessed it 1, broke it, and gave it to His disciples, saying,
Take ye, and eat ye all of this,

Now he bends low over the altar. The words are uttered by
which the God of heaven and earth becomes present under
the appearance of bread and wine. Before that adorable
Presence he bends in love and reverence. Like sentiments
inspire the people, who behold their Eucharistic King raised
by priestly hands. How divinely simple; a few whispered
words, and what a stupendous result. (See Mass Pictures
“The Consecration of the Host," page 781, and “The Consecra-
tion of the Wine,” page 782). :

The Consecration of the Bread
FOR THIS IS MY BODY

‘The Elevation of the Sacred Host

The Elevation of the Consecrated Host and Chalice is & re
minder of the Saviour raised on the Cross. This ceremony
made a most profound impression on the people of the Middle
Ages. Their eagerness to look upon the Blessed Sacrament
sometimes caused jostling. Everyone present wanted “to see
Jesus.” Indeed, the very attendance at Mass was spoken of as
“seeing God.” (See Mass Picture “The Elevation of the Sacred
Host,” page 781, and “The Elevation of the Chalice,” page
82). In an instruction published by. Pope Gregory X about
the year 1275, the priest’s assistants are directed to lie pros-
trate on the ground at the Elevation, worshipping in this wise
until the Pater Noster. The people were warned of the solemn
moment by the tinkling of a little bell, while for the consola-
tion of the brethren at home and in the fields, a great bell
tolled from the church tower.

The priest makes a genuflection, and then elevates the sacred
host that all present may adore it. At the elevation the
sanctuary bell is rung.

His Holiness, Pope Pius X, on May 18, 1907, granted an in-
dulgence of seven years and seven quarantines, to all the faith-
ful, who, at the Elevation during Mass, or at public exposition

of the Blessed Sacrament, look at the sacred host &nd de-
voutly say: “My Lord and my God!"

The Consecration of the Wine

Having placed the sacred host upon the corporal the priest
again makes a genufiection.

Uncovering the chalice, he says:

In like manner, after He had supped, taking also into His
holy and venerable hands this goodly chalice, (The priest
takes the chalice into his hands) again giving thanks to Thee,
He blessed H« it, (The priest makes the sign of the cross over
the chalice) and gave it to His disciples, saying: Take ye,
and drink ye all of this.

For this is the chalice of My blood, of the new and ever-
lasting testament, the mystery of faith, which for you and
for many. shall be shed unto the remission of sins.

The priest places the chalice on the corporal and says:

As often as ye shall do these things, ye shall do them in
memory of Me.

The Elevation of the Chalice
The priest makes a genuflection in adoration of the precious
blood of Christ and then elevates the chalice. At the elevation
the sanctuary bell is rung. Having placed the chalice on the
corporal, and covered it with the pall, the priest again makes
a genuflection. He. proceeds with,

Whe Prayers after the Consecration
In the following prayer the word Wherefore refers to Our
Lord's command “As often as ye shall do these things, ye shall
do them in memory of Me.” Only because Christ so com-
manded does the priest dare celebrate the holy Mysteries. _

. Wherefore, O Lord, we, Thy servants, as also Thy holy
people, calling to mind the blessed passion of the same
Christ, Thy Son, our Lord, His resurrection from the grave,
and His glorious ascension into heaven, offer up to Thy most
excellent majesty of Thine own gifts bestowed upon us, a
victim 4K which is pure (the priest makes the sign of the cross
five times: thrice over the host and the chalice together; once
over the host; and once over the chalice), a victim hk which is
holy, a victim 4% which is stainless, the holy bread H of life
everlasting, and the chalice & of eternal salvation.

The meaning of these five crosses is variously explained.
They can not mean a blessing conferred by the priest, who is
a sinner, on Jesus Christ, infinitely holy. The signs of the
Cross before the Consecration really bless the bread and wine
and prepare them for transubstantiation; after the Consecra-
tion they are to be considered as commemorations—they are in

http://ccwatershed.org

memory of Christ's passion. The five crosses may be con-
sidered to refer to the five wounds of Our Lord. (Benedict
XIV, De Miss. sect. 1. c. 277.)—Gavin: "The Sacrifice of the
Mass.”

In the following prayer we ask that God may receive our
Sacrifice as He received other sacrifices in the Old Law. Men-
tion is therefore made of those sacrifices in the Old Dispensa-
tion that were especially pleasing to the Almighty. Abel,
Abraham and Melchisedech were types of the Saviour. Abel
was killed by his envious brother; through the jealousy of
His own brethren was Our Lord’s Blood shed. Abraham, ready
to sacrifice his son, Isaac, prefigures the Heavenly Father im-
molating his Only-Begotten Son. Melchisedech the priest-
King, who offered a clean sacrifice of bread and wine, bears a
strong resemblance to Jesus Christ, the Eternal High Priest
and King of Glory, Who offers Himself daily under the appear-
ance of bread and wine.

Extending his hands, the priest proceeds

Vouchsafe to look upon them with a gracious and tranquil
countenance, and to accept them, even as Thou wast pleased
to accept the offerings of Thy just servant, Abel, and the
sacrifice of Abraham, our patriarch, and that which Mel-
chisedech, Thy high priest, offered up to Thee, a holy sacri-
fice, a victim without blemish.

Bowing low with his hands joined and placed upon the altar,
the priest prays thus:

We humbly beseech Thee, almighty God, to command that
these our offerings be borne by the hands of Thy holy angel,
to Thine altar on high, in the presence of Thy divine
majesty, (Here the priest kisses the altar) that as many of
us as shall receive the most (The priest makes the sign of the
cross once over the host and once over the chalice and then
signs himself) sacred FB body and blood of Thy Son by
partaking thereof from this altar may be filled with every
heavenly blessing and grace. (Now. he joins his hands).
Through the same Christ our Lord. Amen.

“In order to understand the essence of the aforegoing pray-
er, ‘We humbly beseech Thee, etc.,’" says Bossuet in his
“Explanation of the Prayers of the Mass,” "and to clear up
all the difüculties connected with it, we must ever bear in
mind these things (haec) of which it speaks are truly the body
and blood of Jesus Christ, that with Our Lord's body and
blood are included ourselves, along with our desires and pray-
ers, and that all taken together compose one and the same
oblation which we desire to render in every respect pleasing
to God, not only so far as Jesus Christ is concerned, Who is
offered, but also as regards those who offer Him and with Him
themselves. For this end what can we do better than ask
again the companionship of the holy angel, who presents the
prayer Of the faithful to God (Tob. rii. 12), and with him the
feliowship of all his companions in bliss, in order that our

gift may rise more promptly and more agreeably before the
heavenly altar, when it is offered in that blessed society.

“Those who will partake of the sacrament of the earthly
altar—that is, those who are going to communicate—will
share also in the blessings of the heavenly altar, whence flows
the source Of divine grace. Let us note, by the way, how
salutary it is to communicate during Holy Mass."—Vandeur:
“The Holy Mass Popularly Explained.”

“The Church here commemorates in a special manner those
who communicate with the priest during Mass: for they are
in the strict sense offerers with him of the Holy Sacrifice.”
—Nieuwbarn.

The Commemoration of the Departed

Now the priest appeals in a special way for certain souls.
He implores of God, for all the souls in purgatory: A place of
refreshment, for they are in suffering; A place of light, for,
as yet, deprived of God’s vision, they are in darkness; A place
of peace, because they are enduring the purging flames. These
very words, refreshment, light and peace, are to be found in
thousands of inscriptions appearing in the Catacombs, or
cemeteries of the first Christians.

Be mindful, also, O Lord, of Thy servants, N. and N., who
have gone before us with the sign of faith and who sleep the
sleep of peace.

Whilst saying the aforegoing, the priest slowly joins his
hands and, pausing for a few moments, prays silently by
name for those departed souls whom he desires to remember
especially. Then extending his hands, he continues:

To these, O Lord, and to all who rest in Christ, grant, we
beseech Thee, 2 place of refreshment, light and peace. (The
priest joins his hands and bows). Through the same Christ
our Lord. Amen.

The first three words of the following prayer, “To us Sin-
ners,” are the only words in the Canon which the priest pro-
nounces in a somewhat elevated tone of voice; then he con-
tinues the prayer inaudibly. At the same time, the rubric bids
him strike his breast, as did the publican of old, who cried
out in all humility: “O God, be merciful to me a sinner.”
Thus in word and gesture the priest acknowledges his un-
worthiness. He asks for himself, and for those present, some
part and fellowship with the saints, naming in particular
fifteen holy martyrs. Into this blessed company, he beseeches
God to admit us through Christ Our Lord.

To us sinners, also Thy servants, who put our trust in the
muititude of Thy mercies, vouchsafe to grant some part and
fellowship with Thy holy apostles and martyrs: with John,
Stephen, Matthias, Barnabas, Ignatius, Alexander, Marcel-
linus, Peter, Felicitas, Perpetua, Agatha, Lucy, Agnes, Cecilia,
Anastasia, and with all Thy saints. Into their company de

Thou, we beseech Thee, admit us, not weighing our merits,
but freely pardoning our offenses. Through Christ our Lord.

By whom, O Lord, Thou dost always create, (The priest here
makes the sign of the cross three times over the host and the
chalice together) sanctify, * quicken, 5% bless, and bestow
upon us all these good things.

The Minor Elevation

Now he uncovers the chalice, cnd makes a genuflection;
then, with the thumb and index finger of his right hand he
takes the host, also holding the chalice with the left hand,
and makes, with the host, the sign of the cross thrice over
the chalice, meanwhile saying:

Through HK Him, and with H Him, and in & Him, (and
now twice between the chalice and himself, continuing) is to
‘Thee, God the Father *K almighty, in the unity of the Holy HÀ:
Ghost (finally, he holds the host over the chalice and slightly
elevates both together, saying while so doing) all honor and
glory.

In order to notify the congregation that the prayer is ended,
the priest says or sings the concluding words in a louder voice:

World without end.

The choir or the acolyte answers, Amen, as proof that the
faithful in heart and mind join with the priest in the act of
sacrifice and prayer.

“This aforementioned act is now called the minor elevation;
at one time it was the only elevation, and then the sacred
species were raised sufficiently high to be seen by all present.
But after Berengarius denied the Real Presence, about 1050,
a more decided elevation of each species was made immedi-
ately after the consecration, as à protest against his heresy,
and as an act of reparation and of faith. Strictly speaking,
the Canon ends here."—' The Mass Companion.”

As to the character of the aforesaid prayer we must bear
in mind the two natures, divine and human, in Jesus Christ.
Through Him, Ñ that is through Jesus Christ, the Father and
Holy Ghost are infinitely glorified, first, by the sacrifice of
the Man-God, secondly, because the homage of creatures is
only acceptable when presented through Christ, the one medi-
ator. HH With Him—the Father and Holy Ghost receive all
honor and glory with the Son, for Christ is true God. Fm In
Him—the Father and Holy Ghost are glorified in Jesus Christ
because the three Persons of the Blessed Trinity, by their
one essence and nature, must necessarily receive the same
honor and glory. The Canon ends in a burst of praise —Gavin:
“The Sacrifice of the Mass.”

. The Communion

This part of the Mass, "The Communion,” begins with the
praying or singing by the priest of the “Our Father” (Pater
Noster) as a preparation for Holy Communion. It ts said

aloud that tbe people may join in its several petitions. From
the earliest time it has been a part of the Mass. It occurs
here “as a link between the sacrificial act, which has for its
purpose the glory of God, ‘Hallowed be Thy name,’ and the
Holy Communion, whose purpose is our sanctification, ‘Give
us this day our daily bread." (The Missal and Holy Mass,
Rev. William J. Lallou, D.D., and Sister Josefita Maria, S.S.J.,
Ph.D.) (See Mass Picture "The Pater Noster," page 786),

The Pater Moster
The priest joining his hands, prays or sings:
Let us pray.

Admonished by salutary precepts, and following divine di-
rections, we presume to say (He extends his hands):

Our Father, Who art in heaven: hallowed be Thy name.,
Thy kingdom come: Thy wil be done on earth as it is in
heaven. Give us this day our daily bread; and forgive us
Our trespasses, as we forgive them that trespass against us.

Here at Solemn High Mass the subdeacon goes up to the
altar and gives the paten to the deacon. The subdeacon then
divests himself of the humeral veil.

And lead us not into temptation.

The choir or acolytes answer

But deliver us from evil.

The priest says Amen. He takes the paten between his first
and middle fingers, and, says the following prayer:

This prayer is a very ancient appendix to the Our Father.
Its earnest plea for deliverance from evils, and its yearning
for peace, suggest the early days of persecution.

Deliver us, we beseech Thee, O Lord, from all evils, past,
present, and to come: and by the intercession of the blessed
and glorious Mary, ever a virgin, mother of God, and of Thy
holy apostles Peter and Paul, of Andrew, and of all the saints,

The priest makes the sign of the cross on himself with the
paten; then he kisses the paten, and continues:

Graciously grant peace in our days, that through the help
of Thy bountiful mercy we may always be free from sin, and
Secure from all disturbance.

The Breaking of the Bost

The gospel narrative speaks of Our Lord breaking the bread
before He gave it to His disciples: “Jesus took bread, and
blessed and broke, and gave to His disciples.” “And taking
bread, He gave thanks and brake, and. gave to them" (Matt.
26, 36). So, too, in the account of the apostles at Emmaus:
“whilst He was at table with them, He took bread, and blessed
and brake” (Luke 22, 19). The expression “breaking of bread”
tame to have a special meaning among the first Christians.
Wt was the term for.the Lord's Supper. There is an interest-

ing reference to Sunday Mass in the Acts (20, 7): “And on the
first day of the week, when we were assembled to break
bread, ete.” (Luke 24, 30 also of Catholic Encyclopedia, vol,
VI, p. 165, article on “Fractio Panis.’’)

“The breaking of bread may be mystically connected closely
with the ceremony which immediately follows the com-
mingling of the two species. This is effected by the priest
putting a particle of the sacred. host into the chalice. It
means that the one Christ, whole and undivided, is present
under both species, and exists in every particle of each species,
For although they are both mystically separated, the whole
person of Christ is living and glorious under each separate
form. ‘Thus, by way of concomitance, the Precious Blood is
united with the Body of Christ in the sacred host, while the
sacred Body exists with the Blood of the Lord in the chalice.

“As the separate consecrations of the sacred Body and Blood
signify the death of Christ, so the uniting of the two sacred
species represents His resurrection. Bellarmine translates con-
secratio as “the union of the consecrated Body and Blood."
~Nieuwbarn, “The Holy Sacrifice and its Ceremonies."

The priest puts the paten under the host; he then uncovers
the chalice, makes a genuflection, takes the host and breaks
it in two over the chalice, saying:

‘Through the same Jesus Christ, Thy Son, our Lord.

He puts the portion which is in his right hand on the
paten; he then breaks off a particle from the portion which
is in his left hand, saying:

Who liveth and reigneth with Thee in the unity of the
Holy Ghost, God,

He places on the paten the portion that remains in his left
hand; then, holding over the chalice the particle in his right
hand, he says aloud:

FN. World without end.

BY. Amen.

Then with the same particle of the sacred host he makes
the sign of the cross three times over the chalice, saying in a
raised voice:

V. May the peace ®© of the Lord be *& always with you.

W. And with thy spirit. .

He then drops the particle into the chalice, saying silently:

May this commingling and;consecrating of the Body and
Blood of Our Lord Jesus Christ avail us who receive it unto
life everlasting. Amen.

He covers the chalice, and makes a genuftection; then, bow-
ing down and striking his breast three times, he says aloud:

The Agnus Bei

There is infinite tenderness in this triple appeal to our slain
Lord. He is the Lamb of God of Whom the prophets spoke so
vividly: “I was as a meek lamb that is carried to be a vic-
tim" (Jer. 11, 19). “He was offered because it was His own

http://ccwatershed.org

96 PRAYERS AND CEREMONIES OF MASS

will, and He opened not His mouth. He shall be led as a
sheep to the slaughter, and shall be dumb as a Jamb before
his shearer, and He shall not open His mouth" (Is. 53, 7).

He is the Lamb Whom John the Baptist pointed out: “Be-
hold the Lamb of God, behold Him Who taketh away the sin
of the world" (John 1,29). Christ is called here the Lamb of
God. In the Old Law the lamb was one of the ordinary vic-
tims offered; it was a figure of Jesus Christ, the only true
Lamb, who satisfied for sin by dying for sinners. The lamb
is the figure of innocence, of -meekness, of submission ‘and
of willing sacrifice, since it lets itself be led to slaughter
without resistance. All these qualities apply to Jesus con-
sidered as. the Supreme Sacrifice. The third time that this
formula of prayer is repeated it concludes with “Grant us
peace.” The Lamb of God is soon to become the food of our
souls. Full of goodness and mildness, gladly forgiving and for-
getting all the injury done It through our sinfulness, Jesus
the Lamb of God comes to us laden with mercy and bringing
us the heavenly peace we beg for.

In Masses for the dead the following supplications are
slightly changed; see second form below.

Lamb of God, Who takest away the sins of the world: have
mercy on us.

Lamb of God, Who takest away the sins of the world: have
mercy on us.

Lamb of God, Who takest away the sins of the world: grant
us peace,

In Masses for the dead

Lamb of God, Who takest away the sins of the world: give
unto them rest.

Lamb of God, Who takest away the sins of the world: give
unto them rest.

Lamb of God, Who takest away the sins of the world: give
unto them rest for evermore.

After the Agnus Del the priest, bowing low his head, and
resting his folded hands on the altar, recites in silence the
three prayers of immediate preparation for holy communion.

The Three Communion Prayers which follow the Agnus Det
were originally of private devotion. During the Middle Ages
they were made official. Since the priest addresses himself to
Our Lord, the rubric tells him to fasten his gaze on the Con-
secrated Host. He asks for the Church peace and unity, for
himself pardon of his sins and the grace of fidelity to the
commandments, and finally he implores that the Communion
he is about to receive may be a safeguard for soul and body
and not the cause of his condemnation. This closing prayer
is evidently inspired by 1 Cor. xi, 28-29.

O Lord Jesus Christ, Who didst say to Thine apostles:
Peace I leave you, My peace I give you; look not upon my sins
but upon the faith of Thy Church: and vouchsafe to grant

http://ccwatershed.org

PRAYERS AND CEREMONIES OF MASS 97

her peace and unity according to Thy will: Who livest and
reignest, God, world without end. Amen.

Here at Solemn High Mass the Kiss of Peace is given. Dur-
ing the previous prayer the deacon has been kneeling at the
right of the Priest: he now rises, and both he and the priest
kiss the alter. Formerly the priest kissed the Blessed Sacra-
ment itself, The deacon by an inclination salutes the priest.
who places his hands upon the shoulders of the deacon, bends
forward over his right shoulder, and says, "Pax tecum"—"peace
be to thee.” The deacon replies, "Et cum spiritu tuo"; and
after having again saluted the priest by an inclination, which
is acknowledged in like manner, he imparts the kiss of peace
mi the subdeacon in the manner in which he himself received
t.

In early times the actual kiss of peace was received and
given by all, for all who were present intended to receive holy
communion, Formerly the sexes were separated in the church,
and the kiss of peace was given throughout the whole as-
sembly. This practice continued till the time of Pope Inno-
cent III, 1216.—Morrall, “The Mass Companion.”

The kiss of peace exchanged at Mass is simply the symbol of
that charity which should unite all who approach the Holy
T&ble.—Vandeur, “The Holy Mass Popularly Explained."

In Masses for the dead, the kiss of peace is omitted; neither
does the priest recite the foregoing prayer.

Lord Jesus Christ, Son of the living God, Who, according
to the will of the Father, through the co-operation of the
Holy Ghost, hast by Thy death given life to the world; de-
liver me by this Thy most sacred Body and Blood from all my
iniquities, and from every evil. Make me always cleave to
Thy commandments and never suffer me to be separated from
Thee, Who with the same God the Father and the Holy Ghost
livest and reignest God, world without end. Amen.

Let not the partaking of Thy Body, O Lord Jesus Christ,
which I, all unworthy, presume to receive, turn to my judg-
ment and condemnation; but through Thy loving kindness
may it be to me a safeguard and remedy for soul and body;
Who, with God the Father, in the unity of the Holy Ghost,
livest and reignest, God, world without end. Amen.

The Communion of the Priest

Before receiving his Divine Master, the priest cries out in
words that all can hear: “O Lord, I am not worthy, etc.”
These words are full of faith and humility. When first spoken
by the humble centurion they merited the admiration of
Christ Himself, They betoken the contrite and humble heart
that God will not despise. And so when the priest has re-
ceived the Body and Blood of Jesus Christ, he turns to the
people, blesses them, and repeats in their name, “O Lord, i
am not worthy, etc," whereat they beat their breasts in

acknowledgment. (See Mass Picture “The Priest Receives Com-
munion," page 790)

The priest makes a genuftection, then he says:

I will take the bread of heaven and will call upon the name
of the Lord.

He takes both parts of the host between the thumb and
forefinger of his left hand, and the paten between the same
forefinger and the middle one; then, bowing a little, he strikes
his breast with his right hand, and, slightly raising his voice,
says three times very humbly and reverently:

Lord, I am not worthy that Thou shouldst enter under my
roof; but only say the word and my soul shall be healed.

Here it is customary to ring ihe sanctuary bell, warning
those present of the time of communion which is approaching.

The priest now makes the sign of the cross with the sacred
host, and reverently receives the communion of the Body of
the Lord, saying before doing so:

May the Body of Our Lord Jesus Christ keep my soul unto
life everlasting. Amen.

The priest joins his hands and remains & short time in
meditation on the Most Holy Sacrament; he next uncovers the
chalice and makes a genufiection; he then gathers onto the
paten any fragments that may have fallen from the Sacred
Host upon the corporal and puts them into the chalice. He
recites meanwhile some verses from Holy Scripture.

What shall I render unto the Lord for all the things that
He hath rendered unto me? I will take the chalice of salva-
tion and will call upon the name of the Lord. With high
praises will I call upon the Lord, and I shall be saved f-om all
mine enemies.

Taking the chalice into his right hand he makes therewith
the sign of the cross, and reverently receives the communion
of the Blood of the Lord, saying before drinking from the
chalice:

. May the Blood of Our Lord Jesus Christ keep my soul unto
life everlasting. Amen.

The Communion of the Faithful

Here holy communion is administered to those of the faith-
ful who desire to receive it.

In the name of the communicants who kneel at the sanc-
tuary rails an acolyte recites the Confiteor, the priest respond-
ing with the Misereatur and Indulgentiam as at the beginning
oj Mass. Facing the people with the Ciborium and holding up
one of the Sacred Particles before the communicants the priest
Says:

Behold the Lamb of God: behold Him Who taketh away
the sins of the world.

He then repeats the Domine non sum dignus three times as
before his own communion, and going to the Communion rail

PRAYERS AND CEREMONIES OF MASS 99

places a consecrated Host in the mouth of each communicant,
saying at the same time:

May the Body of Our Lord Jesus Christ keep thy soul unto
life everlasting. Amen.

The Thanksgiving

The priest returns to the altar, replaces the ciborium in the
tabernacle, and then rinses the chalice with a small quantity
of wine that the acolyte pours into it the priest saying the
following prayers.

In these Prayers God is implored that He may permit His
gifts to have enduring effects in our souls and that the sacra-
mental power and grace may remain, so that we may be able
to say in truth with St. Paul: “And I live, now not I, but
Christ liveth in me” (Gal. 2, 20).

Into a pure heart, O Lord, may we receive the heavenly
food which has passed our lips; bestowed upon us in time,
may it be the healing of our souls for eternity.

Having received the ablution the priest saus the following

prayer, while a little wine and some water are poured over
his fingers into the chalice.

May Thy Body, O Lord, which I have received, and Thy
Blood, which I have drunk, cleave to mine inmost parts: and
do Thou grant that no stain of sin remain in me, whom pure
and holy mysteries have refreshed. Who livest and reignest
world without end. Amen.

Having received the contents of the chalice, the priest care-
fully wipes the chalice and rearranges it and its appurtenances,
covering gi with a silken veil, and leaving it in the center of
the altar.

* The Communion---Antiphon

The Communion, so called, is a vestige of a chant formerly
rendered while the people were being communicated.

The priest at the Epistle side recites the Communion, which
will be found in its proper place in each Mass, then returning
to the middle of the altar, he faces the people, saying:

P. The Lord be with you.

To which the answer is returned

Hf. And with thy spirit.

* The Postconmumion

The Postcommunion is the Church’s official thanksgiving
after Communion. (See Mass Picture “The Postcommunion,”
page 792.)

e
1At Solemn High Mass the subdeacon takes the chalice from

the celebrant for cleansing. Then he arranges the coverings
and removes the chalice to the Credence table.

lov PRAYERS AND CEREMONIES OF MASS

Going to the Epistle side he says the prayers called Post-
communions. They correspond to the Prayers and Secrets
already read, and are to be found in their proper places in
the Missal.

Then the priest going back to the middle, kisses the altar,
and turning toward the people says:

The “Ite Missa Est”

Literally Ite Missa est means “Go, it is the dismissal.” These
words were used until the 12th Century to conclude the Mass.
The beautiful prayer "May the lowly homage, etc." which fol-
lows immediately was originally of private devotion. Its peti-
tion to God to make the Sacrifice useful for priests and
people, became in time official.

P. The Lord be with you.

BY. And with thy spirit.

Should the Mass be one in which the Gloria in excelsis is
omitted, then, in place of “Go the Mass is ended” (Ite, missa
est), the priest says or sings “Let us bless the Lord” (Benedi-
eamus Domino). But in Masses for the dead is substituted
the prayer, May they rest in peace (Requiescant in pace), to
which is answered, Amen.

P. Go, the Mass is ended.*

BY. Thanks be to God.

Bowing down over the altar, the priest prays:

May the lowly homage of my service be pleasing to Thee, O
most holy Trinity: and do Thou grant that the sacrifice which
I, all unworthy, have offered up in the sight of Thy majesty,
may be acceptable to Thee, and, because of Thy loving-kind-
ness, may avail to atone to Thee for myself and for all those
for whom I have offered it up. Through Christ our Lord.
Amen.

The Blessing

The blessing was introduced about the 10th Century but
the older custom of not blessing the people at all is yet kept
up in Masses for the Dead. (See Mass Picture “The Blessing,”
page 794.) .

The priest, having kissed the altar, stands erect, raises his
eyes to heaven, extending, raising, and then joining his hands;
he inclines his head and says:

May almighty God bless you—

Turning to the people, he blesses them saying:

The Father, and the Son, '& and the Holy Ghost. RY. Amen.

The priest now goes to the Gospel side of the altar; he
makes the sign of the cross, first upon the altar, and then
upon his forehead, lips and heart, and reads a passage from
the Gospel—as 4 rule, the first verses of that according to
St. John, as below. But if because of the occurrence of a
festival day, the Gospel proper to a Sunday has not been read
in its proper place, it must be read here. In this case he signs
the book, not the altar.

'The Last Gospel

No nobler words could be found to close the Sacrifice of
the Mass than the sublime and inspired expression of the
Disciple whom Jesus loved. From the earliest days of the
Faith, this Gospel has been held in the highest veneration.
Pius V, in the 16th Century, realizing how very much the
people cherished it, inserted it in the Missal which was drawn
up by his orders.

P. The Lord be with you.

RY. And with thy spirit. '

P. The beginning of the holy Gospel according to St. John.

RY. Glory be to Thee, O Lord.

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with
God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning
with God. All things were made'/by Him: and without Him
was made nothing that was made. In Him was life, and the
life was the light of men: and the light shineth in darkness,
&nd the darkness did not comprehend it. There was a man
sent from God, whose name was John. This man came for a
witness, to give testimony of the light, that all men might
believe through him. He was not the light, but was to give
testimony of the light. 'That was the true light which en-
lighteneth every man that cometh into this world. He was in
the world, and the world was made by Him, and the world
knew Him not. He came unto His own, and His own received
Him not. But as many as received Him, to them He gave
power to become the sons of God, to them that believe in His
name. Who are born, not of blood, nor of the will of the
flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God. (Here all kneel
Gown.) LN 1 l

And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us (and
we Saw His glory, the glory as of the only-begotten of the
Father), full of grace and truth.

RY. Thanks be to God.

At the end of the Gospel, the server responds: "Thanks be:
to God." 'The last words of the Gospel of St. John declare:
"The Word was made Flesh and dwelt among us;" whereupon
priest and people bend in adoration. In very deed has the
Word been made Flesh in the Mass. He dwells among us in
the Sacrament of the Altar. How meet it is, then, that We
breathe this fervent Deo Gratias, this thanksgiving from the
bottom of our hearts for the unspeakably holy privilege of
being present at the new Bethlehem and the new Calvary.

Lesson from the Epistle of
blessed Paul the apostle to the
Romans.

RETHREN, knowing the

time, that it is now the
hour for us to rise from sleep;
for now our salvation 1s nearer

night is past, and the day is at
hand; let us therefore cast off
the works of darkness, and put
on the armor of light. Let us
walk honestly as in the day;
not in rioting and drunken-
ness, not in chambering and
impurities, not in contention
and envy; but put ye on the
Lord Jesus Christ.

fusion of the roaring of the sea
and of the waves, men wither-
ing away for fear and expecta-
tion of what shall come upon
the whole world. For the pow-
ers of heaven shall be moved;
and then they shall see the Son
of man coming in & cloud with
great power and majesty. But
when these things begin to
come to pass, look up and lift
up your heads, because your
redemption is at hand. And He
spoke to them a similitude: See
the fig-tree, and all the trees:
when they now shoot forth
their fruit, you know that sum-
mer is nigh; so you also, when
you shall see these things come
to pass, know that the kingdom
of God is at hand. Amen I say
to you, this generation shall
not pass away, till all things be

fulfilled. Heaven and earth

shall pass away, but My words
shall not pass away.

To Thee have I lifted up my

Lesson from the Epistle of
blessed Paul the apostle to the
Romans.

Bnew what things so-
ever were written, were
written for our learning; that
through patience and the com-
fort of the Scriptures we might
have hope. Now the God of pa-
tience and of comfort ‘grant
you to be of one mind one to-
ward another, according to
Jesus Christ: that with one
mind, and with one mouth,
you may glorify God and the
Father of our Lord Jesus
Christ. Wherefore receive one
another; as Christ also hath
received you, unto the honor
of God. For I say that Christ
Jesus was minister of the cir-
cumcision for the truth of God,
to confirm the promises made
unto the fathers. But that the
Gentiles are to glorify God for
His mercy, as it is written:
Therefore will I confess to
Thee, O Lord, among the Gen-
tiles, and will sing to Thy
name. And again He saith: Re-
joice, ye Gentiles, with His
people. And again: Praise the
Lord, all ye Gentiles; and mag-
nify Him, all ye people. And
again, Isaias saith: There shall
be a root of Jesse; and He that
shall rise up to rule the Gen-
tiles, in Him the Gentiles shall
hope. Now the God of hope fill
you with all joy and peace in

T THAT time when John

had heard in prison the
works of Christ: sending two of
his disciples, he said to Him:
Art Thou He that art to come,
5r do we look for another? and
Jesus making answer, said to
them, Go and relate to John
what you have heard and seen.
The blind see, the lame walk,
the lepers are cleansed, the
deaf hear, the dead rise again,
the poor have the gospel
preached to them; and blessed
is he that shall not be scan-
dalized in Me. And when they
went their way, Jesus began to
say to the multitudes concern-
ing John, What went you out
into the desert to see? a reed
shaken with the wind? But
what went you out to see? a
man clothed in soft garments?

praised and glorified, and
blessed God in the furnace,

went out a decree from

enrolling was first made by
Cyrinus, the governor of Syria.
And all went to be enrolled,
every one into his own city.
And Joseph also went up from
Galilee out of the city of Naz-
areth, into Judea to the city of
David, which is called Bethle-
hem, because he was of the
house and family of David, to
be enrolled with Mary his es-

that when they were there, her
days were accomplished, that
she should be delivered. And
she brought forth her first-
born Son, and wrapped Him
up in swaddling clothes, and
laid Him in a manger, because
there was no room for them in
the inn. And there were in
the same country shepherds
watching, and keeping the
night watches over their flock.
And behold an angel of the
Lord stood by them, and the
brightness of God shone round
about them, and they feared
with a great fear. And the
angel said to them: Fear not;
for behold I bring you good
tidings of great joy, that shall
be to all the people; for this
day is born to you a Saviour,
Who is Christ the Lord, in the
city of David. And this shall
be a sign unto you: You shail
find the infant wrapped in
swaddling clothes, and laid in
a manger. And suddenly there
was with the angel a multitude

of the heavenly army, praising God, and saying: Glory to God
in the highest; and on earth peace to men of good will.

Lord hath showed to us. And

and the infant lying in a
manger. And seeing, they un-

been spoken to them concern-

heard wondered: and at those

Lesson from the Acts of the
Apostles.

N THOSE days, Stephen, full
T of grace and fortitude, did
great wonders and signs among
the people. Now there arose
some of that which is called
the synagogue of the Liber-
tines, and of the Cyrenians,
and of the Alexandrians, and
of them that were of Cilicia
and Asia, disputing with Ste-
phen. And they were not able
to resist the wisdom and spirit
that spoke. Now hearing these
things they were cut to the
heart, and they gnashed with
their teeth at him. But he
being full of the Holy Ghost,
looking up steadfastly to
heaven, saw the glory of God,
and Jesus standing on the

Standing on the right hand of
God. And they crying out with
@ loud voice, stopped their ears,
and with one accord ran vio-
lently upon him. And casting
him forth without the city,
they stoned him; end the wit-
nesses laid down their gar-
ments at the feet of a young
man whose name was Saul.
And they stoned Stephen, in-
voking and saying, Lord Jesus,
receive my spirit. And falling
on his knees, he cried with a
loud voice, saying: Lord, lay
not this sin to their charge.

And when he had said this, he

fell asleep in the Lord.

Epistle. Heb. 5, 1.6

Lesson from the Epistle of
blessed Paul the Apostle to the
Hebrews.

RETHREN, every high priest

taken from among. men
is ordained for men in the
things that appertain to God,
that he may offer up gifts and
Sacrifices for sins: who can
have compassion on them that
are ignorant and that err, be-
cause he himself also is com-
passed with infirmity; and
therefore he ought, as for the
people, so also for himself, to
offer for sins. Neither doth
any man take the honor to
himself, but he that is called
by God, as Aaron was. So
Christ also did not glorify
Himself that He might be
made a high priest; but He
that said unto Him, Thou art
My Son, this day have I be-
gotten Thee. As He saith also
in another place, Thou art a
priest forever, according to the
order of Melchisedech.

And other sheep I have, that

% Continuation of the holy

q THAT time, Joseph and
Mary, the mother of
esus, were wondering at these
things which were spoken con-
cerning Him. And Simeon
blessed them, and said to Mary
His mother: Behold this child
is set for the fall, and for the
resurrection of many in Israel,
and for a sign which shall be
contradicted: and thy own
soul a sword shall pierce, that
out of many hearts thoughts
may be revealed. And there
was one Anna, a prophetess,
the daughter of Phanuel, of the
tribe of Aser; she was far ad-
vanced in years, and had lived
with her husband seven years
from her virginity. And she
was a widow until fourscore
and four years; who departed
not from the temple, by fast-
ings and prayers serving night
and day. Now she at the same
hour coming in, confessed to
the Lord; and spoke of Him to
all that looked for the redemp-
tion of Israel. And after they
had performed all things ac-
cording to the law of the Lord,
they returned into Galilee, to
their city Nazareth. And the
child grew and waxed strong,
full of wisdom and the grace of
God was in Him. —

Juda; for out of thee shall-come
forth the ruler that shall rule

them into Bethlehem, said, Go
and diligently inquire after the
child, and when you have
found Him bring. me word
again, that I also may come
and adore Him. Who having
heard the king, went their
way; and behold the star which
they had seen in the east went
before them, until it came and
stood over where the child was.
And seeing the star, they re-
joiced with exceeding great
joy. And entering into the
house, they’ found the child
with Mary His mother (here

down they adored Him. And
opening their treasures, they

RETHREN, be not wise in

no man rendering evil for evil:
providing good things not only
in the sight of God, but also in
the sight of men. If it be pos-
sible, as much as it is in you,
having peace with al men.
Revenge not yourselves, my
dearly beloved; but give place
unto wrath, for it is written,
Revenge is mine; I will repay,
saith the Lord. But if thy
enemy be hungry, give him to
eat; if he thirst, give him to
drink, for doing this, thou shalt
heap coals of fire upon his
head. Be not overcome by evil,
but overcome evil by good.

that sowed good seed in his

asleep, his enemy came, and
oversowed cockle among the
wheat, and went his way. And.
when the blade was sprung up,
and had brought forth fruit,
then appeared also the cockle.
And the servants of the good
man of the house coming, said
to him, Sir, didst thou not sow
good seed in thy field? whence
then hath it cockle? . And he
said to them, An enemy hath
done this. And the servants
said to him, Wilt thou that we
go and gather it up? And he
said, No: lest perhaps gather-
ing up the cockle you root up
the wheat also together with it.
Suffer both to grow until the
harvest; and in the time of the
harvest, I will say to the reap-

burn, but the wheat gather ye

Lesson from the Epistle of
blessed Paul the Apostle to the
Corinthians.

RETHREN, know you not

that they that run in the
race, all run indeed, but one
receiveth the prize? So run,
that you may obtain. And
every one that striveth for the
mastery, refraineth himself
from all things: and they in-
deed that they may receive a
corruptible crown, but we an
incorruptible one. I therefore
so run, not as at an uncer-
tainty; I so fight, not as one
beating the air: but I chastise
my body, and bring it into sub-
jection: lest perhaps, when I
have preached to others, I my-
self should become a castaway.
For I would not have you ig-
norant, brethren, that our
fathers were all under the
cloud, and all passed through
the sea; and all in Moses were
baptized, in the cloud and in
the sea; and all did eat the
same spiritual food, and all
drank the same spiritual drink;
(and they drank of the spirit~
ual rock that followed them;
and the rock was Christ). But
with the most of them God
was not well pleased.

T THAT time, Jesus spoke

to His disciples this
parable: The kingdom of
heaven is like to a householder,
who went out early in the
morning to hire laborers into
his vineyard. And having
agreed.with the laborers for a
penny a day, he sent them into
his vineyard. And going out
&bout the third hour, he saw
others standing in the market-
place idle, and he said to them,
Go you also into my vineyard,
and I wil give you what shall
be just: and they went their
way. And again he went out
about the sixth and the ninth
hour, and did in like manner.
But about the eleventh hour,
he went out, and found others
standing; and he saith to them,
Why stand you here all the
day idle? They say to him,
Because.no man hath hired us.
He saith to them, Go you also

the vineyard saith to his stew-
ard, Call the laborers, and pay
them their hire, beginning
from the last even to the first.
When therefore they were
come that came about the
eleventh hour, they received
every mana penny. But when
the first also came, they
thougbt that they should re-
ceive more; and they also re-
ceived every man a penny. And
receiving it, they murmured
against the master of the
house, saying, These last have
worked but one hour, and thou
hast made them equal to us
that have borne the burden of
the day and the heats. But he
answering, said to one of them,
Friend, I do thee no wrong;

for a penny? Take what is
thine, and go thy way: I will
also give to this last even as
to thee. Or, is it not lawful for
me to do what I will? is thy eye
evil, because I am good? So

shall the last be first, and the first last. For many are called,

Lesson from the Epistle of
blessed Paul the Apostle to the
Corinthians.

RETHREN, you gladly suffer

the foolish; whereas
yourselves are wise, For. you
suffer if a man bring you into
bondage, if a man devour you,
if a man take from you, if a
man be lifted up, if a man
strike you in the face. I speak
according to dishonor, as if we
had been weak in this part.
Wherein if any man dare (1
speak foolishly), I dare also.
They are Hebrews; so am I.
They are Israelites: so am X.
They are the seed of Abraham;
so am I. They are the minis-
ters of Christ (I speak as one
less wise); Iam more: in many
more labors, in prisons more
frequently, in stripes above
measure, in deaths often. Of
the Jews five times did I re-
ceive forty stripes save one,
Thrice was I beaten with rods;
once I was stoned; thrice I suf-
fered shipwreck; a night and a
day I was in the depth of the
sea. In journeying often, in
perils of waters, in perils of
robbers, in perils from my own
nation, in perils from the gen-
tiles, in perils in the city, in
perils in the wilderness, in
perils in the sea, in perils from
false brethren. In labor and

http://ccwatershed.org

208

painfulness, in much watch-
ings, in hunger and thirst, in
fastings often, in cold and
nakedness; besides those
things which are without, my
daily instance, the solicitude
for all the churches. Who is
weak, and I am not weak?
Who is scandalized, and I am
not on fire? If I must needs
glory, I will glory of the things
that concern my infirmity.
The God and Father of Our
Lord Jesus Christ, Who is
blessed for ever, knoweth that
t He not. At Damascus the
governor of the nation under
Aretas the king, guarded the
sity of the Damascenes to ap-
prehend me; and through a
window in a basket was I let
down by the wall and so es-
caped his hands. If I must
glory (it is not expedient in-
deed): but I will come to the
visions and revelations of the
Lord. I know a man in Christ
above fourteen years ago
(whether in the body, I know
not, or out of the body, I know
not; God knoweth): such an
one rapt even to the third
heaven. And I know such a
man (whether in the body, or
out of the body, I cannot tell;
God knoweth); that he was
caught up into paradise; and
heard secret words, which it is
not granted to man to utter.
For such an one I will glory;
but for myself I wil glory
nothing, but in my infirmities.
For though I should. have a
mind to glory, I shall not be
foolish; for I will say the truth,
But I forbear, lest any man
should think of me above that
which he seeth in me, or any
thing he ‘heareth from me.

T THAT time, when a very

He spoke by a similitude; The

And as he sowed, some fell by

some fell upon a rock; and as

withered away, because it had

being sprung up, yielded fruit
2 hundred fold. Saying these
things, He cried out, He that
hath ears to hear, let him hear.
And His disciples asked Him
what this parable might be.
To whom He said, To you it is
given to know the mystery of
the kingdom of God, but to the
rest in parables; that seeing
they may not see, and hearing
may not understand. Now the
parable is this: The seed is the
word of God. And they by the
wayside are they that hear;
ihen the devil cometh, and
taketh the word out of their
heart, lest believing they should
be saved. Now they upon the
rock are they who when they
hear, receive the word with
joy; and these have no roots,
for they believe for a while, and
in time of temptation they fall
away. And that which fell
among thorns are they who
have heard, and going their
way, are choked with the cares

Epistle. 1 Cor. 13, 1-13

Lesson from the Epistle of
blessed Paul the Apostle to the
Corinthians.

RETHREN, 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
know all mysteries, and all
knowledge, and if 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 char-
ity, 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; re-
joiceth not in iniquity, but re-
joiceth in 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 de-
Stroyed. For we know in part,
and We prophesy in part. But
when that which is perfect is
come, that which is in part

went before, rebuked him, that
he should hold his peace: but
he cried out much more, Son of

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 to him,

hath made thee whole.

unto men to fast. Amen, I say

consume, and where thieves
break through and steal. But

God: they ask of Me the judg-
ments of justice: they are will-
ing to approach to God. Why
have we fasted, and Thou hast
not regarded: have we humbled
our souls, and Thou hast not
taken notice? Behold in the
day of your fast your own will
is found, and you exact of all
your debtors. Behold you fast
for debates and strife, and
strike with the fist wickedly.
Do not fast as you have done
until this day to make your cry
to be heard on high. Is this
such a fast as I have chosen:
for a man to afflict his soul for
a day? Is this it, to wind his
head about like a circle, and to
spread sackcloth and ashes?
Wilt thou call this a fast, and
a day acceptable to the Lord?
Is not this rather the fast that
I have chosen? Loose the bands
of wickedness, undo the bundles
that oppress, let them that are
broken go free, and break
asunder every burden. Deal thy
bread to the hungry, and bring
the harborless into thy house;
when thou shalt see one naked,
cover him, and despise not thy
own flesh. Then shall thy light
break forth as the morning and
thy health shall speedily arise,
and thy justice shall go before
thy face, and the glory of the
Lord shall gather thee up.
Then shalt thou call, and the
Lord shall hear: thou shalt
cry, and He shall say: Here I
am. Because I the Lord thy

forty days and forty nights,
afterwards He was hungry. And
the tempter coming said to
Him, If Thou be the Son of
God, command that these
Stones be made bread. Who
answered and said: It is writ-
ten, Not in bread alone doth
man Jive, but in every word
that proceedeth from the
mouth of God. Then the devil
took Him up into the holy city,
and set Him upon the pinnacle
'of the temple, and said to Him,
If Thou be the Son of God, cast
Thyself down: for it is written,
'That He hath given His angels
charge over Thee, and in their
hands shall they bear Thee up,
lest perhaps Thou dash ‘Thy
foot against a stone. Jesus said
to Him, It is written again,
Thou shalt not tempt the Lord
thy God. Again the devil took
Him up into a very high moun-
tain; and showed Him all the

Isaias spoke, saying, Seek

his way, and the unjust man

have mercy on him; and to our

you use among you this parable
as a proverb in the land of
Israel, saying, The fathers have
eaten sour grapes, and the
teeth of the children are set
on edge? As I live, saith tbe
Lord, this parable shall be no
more to you a proverb in Israel.
Behold all souls are Mine: as
the soul of the father, so also
the soul of the son is Mine:
the soul that sinneth, the same
shall die. And if a man be just,
and do justice, and hath not
eaten upon the mountains, nor
lifted up his eyes to the idols
of the house of Israel; and hath
not defiled his neighbor’s wife,
nor come near to a menstruous
woman; and hath not wronged
any man, but hath restored the
pledge to the debtor; hath
taken nothing away by vio-
lence; hath given his bread to
the hungry, and hath covered
the naked with & garment;
hath not lent upon usury, nor
taken any increase; hath with-
drawn his hand from iniquity,
and hath executed true judg-
ment between man and man;
hath walked in My command-

Have mercy on me, O Lord,
Thou son of David: my daugh-

word. And His disciples came
and besought Him, saying,
Send her away, for she crieth
after us: and He answering,
said, I was not sent but to the
sheep that are lost of the house
of Israel. But she came and
adored Him, saying, Lord, help
me, Who answering, said, It is
not good to take the bread of
the children, and to cast it to
the dogs. But she said, Yea,
Lord: for the whelps also eat
of the crumbs that fall from

saith the Lord God, and not
that he should be converted
from his ways, and live? But if
the just man turn himself away
from his justice, and do in-
iquity according to all the
abominations which the wicked
man useth to work, shall he
live? All his justices which he
hath done, shall not be remem-
bered: in the prevarication, by
which he hath prevaricated,
and in his sin, which he hath
committed, in them he shall
die. And you have said: The
way of the Lord is not right.
Hear ye, therefore, O house
of Israel: Is it My way
that is not right, and are not
rather your ways perverse? For
when the just turneth himself
away from his justice, and
committeth iniquity, he shall
die therein; in the injustice
that he hath wrought he shall
die. And when the wicked
turneth himself away from his
wickedness, which he hath
wrought, and doeth judgment,
and ‘justice: he shall save his
soul alive. Because he con-

sidereth and turneth away himself from all his iniquities
which he hath wrought, he shall surely live, and not die, saith

N THOSE days, Moses said to
I the children of Israel, if
you keep the commandments
which I command you, and do
them, to love the Lord your
God, and walk in all His ways,
cleaving unto Him; the Lord
wiM destroy all these nations
before your face, and you shall
possess them, which are
greater and stronger than you.
Every place that your foot shall
tread upon, shall be yours.
From the desert, and from Li-
banus, from the great river
Euphrates unto the western
sea shall be your borders, None
shall stand against you: The
Lord your God shall lay the
dread and fear of you upon all
the land that you. shall tread
upon, as He hath spoken to
you: the Lord your God.

Will He kill Himself? because
He said, Whither I go, you can
not come. And He said to them,
You are from beneath, I am

Therefore I say to you, that you
shall die in your sins; for if
you believe not that I am He,
you shall die in your sin. They
said therefore to Him, Who art

speak and judge of you; but
he that sent Me is true, and the
things I have heard of him,
these same I speak in the

not that He called God His

lifted up the Son of man, then

taught Me, these things I
speak: and He that sent Me is

Kings.
N THOSE days the word of
the Lord came to Elias the
Thesbite, saying, Arise and go
to Sarephta of the Sidonians,
and dwell there; for I have
commanded & widow-woman
there to feed thee. He arose,
and went to Sarephta: and
when he was come to the gate
of the city, he saw the widow-
woman gathering sticks, and
he called her, and said to her,
Give me.a little water in a ves-
sel, that I may drink. And
when she was going to fetch
it, he called after her, saying,
Bring me also, I beseech thee,
a morsel of bread in thy hand;
and she answered, As the Lord
thy God liveth, I have no
bread, but only a handful of
meal in a pot, and a little oil in
a cruse; behold I am gathering
two sticks, that I may go in
and dress it, fof me and my
Son, that we may eat it, and
die. And Elias said to her, Fear
not, but go and do as thou hast
said; but first make for me of
the same meal a little hearth-
cake, &nd bring it to me; and
after make for thyself and thy
son. For thus saith the Lord

Cursed be the man thai
trusteth in man, and maketh
flesh his arm, and whose heart
departeth from the Lord. For
he shall be like tamaric in the
desert, and he shall not see
when good shall come: but he
shall dwell in dryness in the
desert, in a salt land, and not
inhabited. Blessed be the man
that trusteth in the Lord, and
the Lord shall be his confi-
dence. And he shall be as a
tree that is planted by the
waters, that spreadeth out its

And he cried and said, Father
Abraham, have mercy on me,

I am tormented in this flame.
And Abraham saíd to him, Son,
remember that thou didst re-

evil things: but now he is com-
forted, and thou art tormented.
And besides all this, between
us and you there is fixed a
great chaos: so that they who
would pass from hence to you,
cannot, nor from thence come
hither. And he said; 'Then,
father, I beseech thee that
thou wouldst send him to my
father's house, for I have five
brethren, that he may testify
unto them, lest they also come
into this place of torments.

They have Moses and the
prophets: let them hear them.

them from the dead, they will

they believe if one rose again
from the dead. `

to his brethren: Hear my

thonght we were binding
sheaves in the field: and my
sheaf rose as it were, and
Stood, and your sheaves stand-
ing about, bowed down before
my sheaf. His brethren an-
swered: Shalt thou be our
king? or shall we be subject to
thy dominion? Therefore this
matter of his dreams and
words ministered nourishment
to their envy and hatred. He
dreamed also another dream,
which he told to his brethren
saying: I saw in a dream, as it

were the sun, and the moon,
and eleven stars worshipping
me, And when he had tola this
to his father, and brethren, his
father rebuked him, and said:
What meaneth this dream that
thou hast dreamed? shall I
and thy mother, and thy
brethren worship thee upon
the earth? His brethren there-
fore envied him: but his father
considered the thing with him-
self. And when his brethren
abode in Sichem, feeding their
father’s flocks, Israel said to
him: Thy brethren feed the
sheep in Sichem: come, I will
send thee to them. And when
he had answered: I am ready;
he said to him: Go, and see if
all things be well with thy
brethren, and the cattle: and
bring me word again what is
doing. So being sent from the
vale of Hebron, he came to
Sichem: and a man found him
there wandering in the field,
and asked what he sought. But
he answered: I seek my
brethren, tell me where they
feed the flocks. And the man
said to him: They are de-
parted from this place: for I
heard them say: Let us go
down to Dothain. And Joseph
went forward after his breth-
ren, and found them in Do-
thain. And when they saw him
afar off, before he came nigh
them, they thought to kill him.
And said one to another: Be-
hold the dreamer cometh.
Come, let us kill him, and cast
him into some old pit; and we
will say: Some evil beast hath
devoured him: and then it
shall appear what his dreams
shall avail him: and Ruben
hearing this, endeavored to de-
liver him out of their hands,

round aboutt, and dug inita
press, and built a tower, and

And when the time of the
fruits drew nigh, he sent his
servants to the husbandmen,
that they might receive the
fruits thereof: and the hus-

servants, beat one, and killed
another, and stoned another.
Again he sent other servants
more'than the former, and
they did to them in like man-

them his son, saying, They will
reverence my son. But the hus-

among themselves, This is the

we shall have his inheritance;

forth out of the vineyard, and

Jord of the vineyard shall come,
what will he do to those hus-
bandmen? They say to Him, He
wil bring those evil men to
an evil end, and will let out his
vineyard to other husbandmen,
that shall render him the fruit
in due season. Jesus saith to
them, Have you never read in

hath been done, and it is won-

voice, and go, fetch me the
things which I have said. He
went, and brought, and gave
them to his mother. She
dressed meats, such as she
knew his father liked; and she
put on him very good garments
of Esau, which she had at
home with her; and the little
skins of the kids she put about
his hands, and covered the bare
of his neck; and she gave him
the savory meat, and delivered
him bread, that she had baked.
Which when he had carried in,
he said, My father! But he
answered, I hear. Who art
thou, my son? And Jacob said,
I am Esau thy first-born: I
have done as thou didst com-
mand me: arise, sit, and eat of
my venison, that thy soul may
bless me. And Isaac said to his
son, How couldst thou find it
so quickly, my son? He an-
swered, It was the will of God,
that what I sought came
quickly in my way: and Isaac
said, Come hither, that I may
feel thee, my..son, and may
prove whether thou be my son
Esau or not. He came near to
his father, and when he had
felt him, Isaac said, The volce
indeed is the voice of Jacob,
but the hands are the hands of
Esau; and he knew him not,
because his hairy hands made
him like to the elder; then
blessing him, he said, Art thou
my son Esau? He answered, I
am. Then he said, Bring me
the meats of thy hunting, my
son, that my soul may bless
thee: and when they were
brought, and he had eaten, he
offered him wine also, which
after he had drunk, he said to
him, Come near me, and give

me a kiss, my son. He came
near, and kissed him; and im-
mediately as he smelled the
fragrant smell of his garments,
blessing him, he said, Behold
the smell of my son is as the
smell of a plentiful field which
the Lord hath blessed. God
give thee of the dew of heaven,
and of the fatness of the earth,
abundance of corn and wine;
and let people serve thee, and
tribes worship thee: be thou
lord of thy brethren, and let
thy mother'schildren bow down
before thee. Cursed be he that
curseth thee, and let him that
blesseth thee be filled with
blessings. Isaac had scarce
ended his words, when Jacob
being now gone out abroad,
Esau came, and brought in to
his father meats made of what
he had taken in hunting, say-
ing, Arise, my father, and eat
of thy son's venison, that thy
Soul may bless me. And Isaac
said to him, Why! who art
thou? He answered, I am thy
first-born son, Esau. Isaac was
struck with fear, and aston-
ished exceedingly; and won-
dering beyond what can be be-
lieved, said, Who is he then
that even now brought me ven-
ison that he had taken, and I
ate of all before thou camest?
and I have blessed him, and he
shall be blessed. Esau having
heard his father’s words,
roared out with a great cry;
and being in a great consterna~
tion, said, Bless me also, my
father: and he said, Thy
brother came deceitfully, and
got thy blessing. But he said
again, Rightly is his name
called Jacob, for he hath sup-
planted me lo this second time;

T THAT time, Jesus spoke
to the pharisees and
scribes this parable: A certain
man had two sons; and the
younger of them said to his
father, Father, give me the
portion of substance that fall-
eth to me: and he divided unto
them his substance. And not
many days after, the younger
son gathering -all together,
went abroad into a far coun-
try, and there wasted his sub-
stance, living riotously. And
after he had spent all, there
came a mighty famine in that
country, and he began to be

in want; and he went, and
cleaved to one of the citizens
of that country, and he sent
him into his farm to feed
swine; and he would fain have
filled his belly with the husks
the swine did eat, and no man
gave unto him. And returning
to himself, he said, How many
hired servants in my father’s
house abound with bread, and
I here perish with hunger? I
will arise, and will go to my
father, and say to him, Father,
I have sinned against heaven,
and before thee: I am not now
worthy to be called thy son,
make me as one of thy hired
servants. And rising up, he
came to his father: and when
he was yet a great way off, his
father saw him, and was moved
with compassion, and running
to him fell upon his neck and
kissed him; and the son said
to him, Father, I have sinned
against heaven, and before
ihee, I am not now worthy to
be called thy son. And the
father said to his servants,
Bring forth quickly the first
robe, and put it on him, and
put a ring on his hand, and
shoes on his feet; bring hither
the fatted calf, and kill it, and
let us eat and make merry: be-
cause this my son was dead,
&nd is come to life again; he
was lost, snd is found, And
they began to be merry. Now
his elder son was in the field;
and when he came, and drew
nigh to the house, he heard
music and dancing: and he
called one of the servants, and
asked what these things meant.
And he said to him, Thy
brother is come, and thy father
hath killed the fatted calf, be-

Lesson from the Epistle of
blessed Paul the Apostle to the
Ephesians.

RETHREN, be ye followers

of God, as most dear
children; and walk in love, as
Christ also hath loved us, and
hath delivered Himself for us,
an oblation and a sacrifice to
God, for an odor of sweetness.

-But fornication, and all un-

cleanness, or covetousness, let
it not so much as be named
among you, as becometh
saints; nor obscenity, nor fool-
ish talking, nor scurrility,
which is to no purpose; but
rather giving of thanks: for
know ye this, and understand,
that no fornicator, nor un-
clean, nor covetous person,
which is a serving of idols,
hath any inheritance in the
kingdom of Christ and of God.
Let no man deceive you with
vain words; for because of
these things cometh the anger
of God upon the children of
unbelief. Be ye not therefore
partakers with them. For you
were heretofore darkness; but
now light in the Lord. Walk ye
as children of the light: for the
fruit of the light is in all good-
ness, and justice, and truth.

Ps. 9, 20, 4

Arise, O Lord, let not man be
strengthened; let the gentiles
be judged in Thy sight. J.
When my enemy shal be
turned back, they shall be
weakened and perish before
Thy face.

T THAT time, Jesus was
A, casting out a devil, and

e same was dumb; and when
He had cast out the devil the
dumb spoke, and the multitude
were in admiration at it, but
some of them said, He casteth
out devils by Beelzebub the
prince of devils, And others
tempting, asked of Him a sign
from heaven. But He seeing
their thoughts, said to them,
Every kingdom divided against
itself shall be brought to des-
olation, and house upon house
Shall fall; and if Satan also be
divided against himself,.how
shall his kingdom stand? be-
cause you say, that through
Beelzebub 1 cast out devils.
Now if Icast out devils by Beel-
zebub, by whom do your chil-
dren cast them out? Therefore
they shall be your judges. But
if I by tne finger of God cast
out devils, doubtless the:king-
dom of God is come upon you.

Lesson from the Book of
Kings.

N THOSE days, Naaman, gen-
I eral of the army of the
king of Syria, was a great man
with his master, and honor-
able; for by him the Lord gave
deliverance to Syria: and he
was a Valiant man and rich,
but a leper. Now there had gone
out robbers from Syria, and
had led away captive out of
the land of Israel a little maid,
and she waited upon Naaman’s
wife: and she said to her mis-
tress, I wish my master had
been with the prophet that is
in Samaria; He would cer-
tainly have healed him of the
leprosy which he hath. Then
Naaman went in to his lord,
and told him saying, Thus and
thus said the girl from the land
of Israel: and the king of Syria
said to him, Go, and I will send
& letter to the king of Israel;
and he departed, and took with
him ten talents of silver, and
six thousand pieces of gold, and
ten changes of raiment; and
brought the letter to the king
of Israel, in these words:
When thou shalt receive this
letter, know that I have sent to
thee Naaman my servant, that
thou mayest heal him of his
leprosy. And when the king of
Israel had read the letter, he
rent his garments, and said,
Am I God, to be able to kill,
and give life, that this man
hath sent to me, to heal a man
of his leprosy? mark and see
how he seeketh occasions
against me. And when Eliseus
the man of God had heard this,
to wit, that the king of Israel

http://ccwatershed.org

had rent his garments, he sent
to him, saying, Why hast thou
rent thy garments? let him
come to me, and let him know
that there is & prophet in
Israel. So Naaman came with
his borses and chariots, and
stood at the door of the house
of Eliseus: and Eliseus sent a
messenger to him, saying, Go,
and wash seven times in the
Jordan, and thy flesh shall re-
cover health, and thou shalt be
clean, Naaman was angry, and
went away saying, I thought he
would have come out to me,
and standing would have in-
voked the name of the Lord his
God, and touched with his
hand the place of the leprosy,
and healed me. Are not the
Abana, and the Pharphar riv-
ers of Damascus, better than
all the waters of Israel, that I
may wash in them, and be
made clean? So as he turned,
and was going away with in-
dignation, his servants came to
him, and said to him, Father,
if the prophet had bid thee do
some great thing, surely thou
shouldst have done it: how
much rather what he now hath
said to thee, Wash, and thou
shalt be clean? Then he went
down, and washed in the Jor-
dan seven times according to
the word of the man of God;
and his flesh was restored, like
the flesh of a little child, and

Honor thy father and thy

the Lord thy God will give thee.
Thou shalt not kill. Thou shalt
not commit adultery. Thou
shalt not steal. Thou shalt not
bear false witness against thy
neighbor. Thou shalt not covet
thy neighbor’s house; neither
shalt thou desire his wife, nor
his servant, nor his handmaid,
nor his ox, nor his ass, nor
anything that is his. And all
the people saw the voices, and
the flames, and the sound of
the trumpet, and the mount
smoking: and being terrified
and struck with fear, they
stood afar off, saying to Moses,
Speak thou to us, and we will
hear; let not the Lord speak to
us, lest we die. And Moses said
to the people, Fear not, for God
is come to prove you, and.that
the dread of Him might be in

And the people stood afar off,
but Moses went to the dark
cloud ‘wherein God was: and
the Lord said to Moses, Thus
shalt thou say to the children
of Israel, You have seen that I
have spoken to you from
heaven. You shall not make
gods of silver, nor shall you
make to yourselves gods of
gold. You shall make an altar
of earth unto Me, and you shall
Offer upon it your holocausts
and peace offerings, your sheep
and oxen, in every place where
the memory of My name

T THAT lime, the scribes
and pharisees came to
Jesus from Jerusalem, saying,
Why do Thy disciples trans-
gress the tradition of the an-
cients? for they wash not thelr
hands when they eat bread.
But He answering, said to them,
Why do you also transgress the
commandment of God for your
tradition? For God said, Honor
thy father and mother; and he
that shall. curse father or
mother, let him die the death
But you say, Whosoever shall
say to father or mother, The
gift whatsoever proceedeth
from me, shall profit thee; and
he shall not honor his father
or his mother: and you have
made void the commandment
of God for your tradition. Ye
hypocrites, well hath Isaias
prophesied of you, saying, This
people honoreth Me with their
lips, but their heart is far
from Me; and in vain do they
worship Me, teaching doctrines
and commandments of men.
And having called together the
multitudes unto Him, He said
to them, Hear ye and under-
stand: not that which goeth
into the mouth defileth a man,

T THAT lime, Jesus, rising
up out of the synagogue,
went into Simon's house: and
Simon's wife's mother was
taken with a great fever, and
they besought Him for her. And
Standing over her, He com-
manded the fever, and it left
her: and immediately rising,
She ministered to them. And
when the sun was down, all
they that had any sick with
divers diseases, brought them
to Him: but He laying His
hands on every one of them,
healed them. And devils went
out from many, crying out, and
saying, Thou art the Son of
God. And rebuking them, He
suftered them not to speak, for
they knew that He was Christ.
And when it was day, going out
He went into a desert place;
and the multitudes sought Him,
and came unto Him; and they
stayed Him that He should not
depart from them. To whom He
said, To other cities also I must
preach the kingdom of God, for
therefore am I sent. And He
was preaching in the syna-
gogues of Galilee,

for thou hast had five hus-
bands and he whom thou now
hast is not thy husband. This
thou hast said truly. The wo-
man said to Him, Sir, I perceive
that Thou art a prophet. Our
fathers adored on this moun-
tain; and You say that at Jeru-
salem is the place where men
must adore, Jesus saith to her,
Woman, believe Me, that the
hour cometh, when you shall
neither on this mountain nor
in Jerusalem adore the Father.
You adore. that which you
know not; we adore that which
we know; for salvation is of the
Jews. But the hour cometh,
and now is, when the true
adorers shall adore the Father
in spirit and in truth. For the
Father also seeketh: such to
adore Him. God is a spirit; and
they. that adore Him, must
adore Him in spirit and in
truth. The woman saith to
Him, I know that the Messias
cometh (Who is called Christ) ;
therefore when He is come, He
will tell us all things. Jesus
saith to her, Iam He Who am
speaking with thee. And imme-
diately His disciples came: and
they wondered that He talked
with the woman; yet no man
said, What seekest Thou, or
why talkest Thou’ with her?
The woman therefore left her
waterpot and went her way into
the city, and saith to the men
there, Come, and see a man
who has told me all. things
whatsoever I have done: Is not
He the Christ? They went
therefore out of the: city, and
came unto Him. In the mean-
time, the disciples prayed Him
saying, Rabbi, eat, But He said
to them, I have meat to eat

which you know not, The dis-
ciples therefore said one to an-
other, Hath any man brought
Him to eat? Jesus saith to
them, My meat is to do the will
of him that sent me, that
I may perfect His work. Do
you not say, there are yet
four months, and then the
harvest cometh? Behold I say
to you, lift up your eyes,
and see the countries, for they
are white already to harvest.
And he that reapeth receiveth
Wages, and gathereth fruit unto
life everlasting; that both he
that soweth and he that reap-
eth may rejoice together. For
in this is the saying irue, thiat
it is one man that soweth, and
it is another that reapeth. I
have sent you to reap that in
which you did not labor: others
have labored, and you have en-
tered into their labors. Now of
that city many of the Samari-
tans believed in Him, for the
word of the woman giving tes-
fimony, He told me all things
whatsoever I have done. So
when. the Samaritans were
come to Him, they desired Him
ihat He would tarry there. And

Lesson from Daniel the
Prophet.
N THOSE days, there was a
man that dwelt in Baby-
lon, and his name was Jóakim;
and he took a wife whose name
was Susanna, the daughter of
Helcias, & very beautiful wo-
man, and one that feared God;
for her parents, being just, had
instructed their daughter ac-
cording to the law of Moses.
Now Joakim was very rich, and
had an orebard near his house;
and the Jews resorted to him,
because he was the most hon-
orable of them all, And there
were two of the ancients of the
people appointed judges that
year, of whom the Lord said,
Iniquity came out from Baby-
lon from the ancient judges,
that seemed to govern the peo-
ple. These men frequented the
house of Joakim, and all that
had any matters of judgment
came to them. And when the
people departed away at noon,
Susanna went in and walked in

their own mind, and turned
away: their eyes, that they
might not look unto heaven,
nor remember just judgments,
And it fell out, as they

was hot weather. And tbere
was nobody there, but the two
old men that had hid them-
selves and were beholding her.
So she said to the maids, bring
me oil and washing-balls, and
shut the doors of the orchard,
that I may wash me. Now when
the maids were gone forth, the
two elders arose and ran to her
and said, Behold the doors of
the orchard are shut, and no-
body seeth us, and we are in
love with thee; wherefore con-
sent to us and lie with us. But
if thou wilt not, we will bear
witness against thee, that a
young man was with thee, and
therefore thou didst send away
thy maids from thee. Susanna
sighed, and said, I am strait-
ened on every side: for if I da
this thing, it is death to me;
and if I do it not, I shall not
escape your hands. But it is
better for me to fall into your
hands without doing it, than to
sin in the sight of the Lord.
With that Susanna cried out
with a loud voice; and the eld-
ers also cried out against her.
And one of them ran to the door
of the orchard and opened 1t.
So when the servants of tha

had spoken, the servants were

ihere been any such word said
of Susanna. And on the next

her acquaintance wept. But the

midst of the people, laid their
hands upon her head; and she
weeping looked up to heaven,

As we walked in the orchard
alone, this woman came in with
two maids, and shut the doors
of the orchard, and sent away
the maids from her. Then a
young man that was there hid
came to her, and lay with her.
But we that were in a corner of
the orchard, seeing this wick-

saw them lie together; and him
indeed we could not take, be-
cause he was-stronger than we,

leaped out; but having taken

with a loud voice, and said: O
eternal God, Who knowest hid-
den things, Who knowest all
things before they come to
pass: Thou knowest that they
have borne false witness
against me, and behold I
must die, whereas I have done
none of these things which
these men have maliciously
forged against me. And the
Lord heard her voice. And
when she was led to be put to
death, the Lord raised up the
holy spirit of a young boy,
whose name was Daniel. And
he cried out with a loud voice,
I am clear from the blood of
this woman. Then the people
turning themselves towards
him, said, What meaneth this
word that thou hast spoken?
But he standing in the midst
of them, said, Are ye so fool-
ish, ye children of Israel, that
without examination or knowl-
edge of the truth, you have
condemned a daughter of Is-
rael? Return to judgment; for
they have borne false witness
against her. So all the people
turned again in haste. And
Daniel said to them, Separate
these two far from one another,
and I wil examine them. So
when they were put asunder
one from the other, he called
one of them, and said to him,
O thou that art grown old in
evil days, now are thy sins
come out, which thou hast
committed before, in judging
unjust judgments, oppressing
the innocent; and letting the
guilty to go free, whereas the
Lord saith, The innocent and
the just, thou shalt not kill.

*& Continuation -of the holy
Gospel according to St. John,
T. THAT time, Jesus
went to Mount Olivet;
and early in the morning He
came again into the temple,
and all the people came to
Him, and sitting down He
taught them. And the scribes
and pharisees bring unto Him
a woman taken in adultery;
and they set her in the midst,
and said to Him, Master, this
woman was even now taken in
adultery. Now Moses in the law
commanded us to stone such an
one. But what sayest Thou?
And this they said tempting
Him, that they might accuse
Him. But Jesus bowing Himself
down, wrote with: His finger on
the ground. When therefore
they continued asking.Him, He
lifted up Himself, and said to
them, He that is without sin
among you, let him first cast
a stone at her; and again stoop-
ing down, He wrote on the
ground. But they hearing this,
went out one by one, beginning
at the eldest; and Jesus alone
remained, and the woman
standing in the midst. Then
Jesus lifting up Himself, said to
her, Woman, where are they
that accuse thee? Hath no man
condemned thee? Who said, No
man, Lord. And Jesus said,
Neither wil I condemn thee.
Go, and now sin no more,

Léctio Epístole beáti Paull
Apóstoli ad Gálatas.

RATRES: Scriptum est:

Quóniam Abraham du-
os filios hábuit; unum de
ancilla, et unum de líbera.
Sed qui de ancílla, secándum
carnem natus est: qui autem
de líbera, per repromissión-
em: que sunt per allegoríam
dicta. Hec enim sunt duo
testaménta. Unum quidem
in monte Sina, in servitütem

enim mons est in Arabia, qui
conjünctus est ei, que hunc
est Jerüsalem, et servit cum
filiis suis. Illa autem, que
sursum est Jerüsalem, libera
est, que est mater nostra.
Scriptum est enim: Lætáre,

Lesson from ihe Epistle of

blessed Paul the Apostle to the

Galatians.
RETHREN: It is written
that Abraham had two
sons; the one by a bond-wo-
man, and the other by a free-
woman, But he who was of the

bond-woman was born accord-

ing to the flesh; but he of the
free-woman was by promise.
Which things are said by an
allegory. For these are the two
testaments: the one from
Mount Sina, engendering unto
bondage, which is Agar: for
Sina is a mountain in Arabia,
which hath affinity to that Je-
rusalem which now is, and is
in bondage with her children:
but that Jerusalem which is
above is free, Which is our
mother, For it is written, Re-

joice, thou barren that bearest

not; break forth and cry, thou
that travailest not; for many

are the children of the deso-
late, more than of her that
hath a husband. Now we, breth-
ren, as Isaac was, are the chil-
dren of promise. But as then
he that was born according to
the fiesh persecuted him that
was after the spirit, so also it is
now. But what saith the Scrip-
ture? Cast out the bond-woman
and her son; for the son of the
bond-woman shall not be heir
with the. son of the free-wo-
man. So then, brethren, we-are
not the children of the bond-

went up into à mountain, and
there He sat with His disciples.
Now the pasch, the festival-
day of the Jews, was near at
hand. When Jesus therefore
had lifted up his eyes, and seen
that a very great multitude
cometh to Him, He said to
Philip Whence shall we buy
bread that these may eat? And
this He said to try him; for He
Himself knew what He would
do. Philip answered, Two hun-
dred pennyworth of bread is
not sufficient for them, that
every one may take a little. One
of His disciples, Andrew, the
brother of Simon Peter, saith
to Him, There is a boy here
that hath five barley loaves and
two fishes; but what are these
among so many? Then Jesus
said, Make the men sit down.

‘Now there was much grass in

the place. The men therefore
sat down, in number about five
thousand, And Jesus took the
loaves; and when He had given
thanks, He distributed to them
that’ were set down. In like
manner also of the fishes, as
much as they would. And when
they were filled, He said to His
disciples, Gather up the frag-
ments that remain, lest they be
lost. They gathered up there-
fore, and filled twelve baskets
with the fragments of the five
barley loaves, which remained
over and above to them that
had eaten. Now those men,
when they had seen what a
miracle Jesus had done, said,
This is of a truth the prophet
that is to come into the world.

house and I was delivered of a

this woman’s child died in the
night, for in her sleep she over-
laid him; and rising in the dead
time of the night, she took my
child from my side, while I thy
handmaid was asleep, and laid

it in her bosom, and laid her
dead child in my bosom. And
when I rose in the morning to
give my child suck, behold it
was dead: but considering him
more diligently when it was
clear day, I found that it was
not mine which I bore. And the
other woman answered, It is
not so as thou sayest, but thy
child is dead and mine is alive.
On the contrary, she said, Thou
liest, for my child liveth and
thy child is dead: and in this
manner they strove before the
king. Then said the king, the
one saith, My child is alive,
and thy child is dead; and the
other answereth, Nay, but thy
child is dead and mine liveth.
The king therefore said, Bring
me a sword; and when they
had brought a sword before the
king, Divide, said he, the liv-
ing child in two, and give half
to the one, and half to the
other. But the woman whose
child was alive said to the king
(for her bowels were. moved
upon her child) , 1 beseech thee,
my lord, give her the child alive,
and do not kill it. But the other
said, Let it be nelther mine nor
thine, but divide it. The king
answered and said, Give the
living child to this woman, and
let it not be killed; for she is
the mother thereof. And all
Israel heard the judgment
which the king had judged, and
they feared the king, seeing
that the wisdom of God was in
him to do judgment,

His disciples remembered that
it was written, The zeal of Thy

Jews therefore answered and
said to Him, What sign dost
Thou show unto us, seeing
Thou dost these things? Jesus
answered and said to them, De-

T THAT time, about the
middle of the feast,

Jesus went up into the temple,
and taught. And the Jews won-
dered, saying, How doth this
man know letters, having never
learned? Jesus answered them,
and said, My doctrine is not
Mine, but His that sent Me. If
any man will do the will of
Him, He shall know of the doc-
trine, whether it be of God, or
whether I speak of Myself. He
that speaketh of himself, seek-

seeketh the glory of Him that
sent him, he is true, and there
is no injustice in him. Did not
Moses give you the law, and yet
none of you keepeth the law?
Why seek you to kill Me? The
multitude answered and said,
Thou hast a devil: who sse&-

swered and said to them, One
work I have done, and you all
wonder. Therefore Moses gave
you circumcision (not because
it is of Moses, but of the fath-

you circumcise a man. If a man
receive circumcision on the

Moses may not be broken, are

His disciples asked Him, Rabbi,
who hath sinned, this man or

Neither hath this man sinned

Me, Whilst it is day; the night
cometh when no man can work.
As long as I am in the world I

spread the clay upon his eyes;

anointed my eyes, and said to
me, Go to the pool of Siloe, and

there was a division among

blind man again, What sayest
thou of Him that hath opened
thy eyes? And he said, He is a
prophet. The Jews then did not
believe concerning him, that
he had been blind and had re-
ceived his sight, until they
called the parents of him that
had received his sight and
asked them, saying, Is this your
son, who you say was born
blind? How then doth he now
see? His parents answered
them and said, We know that
he is our son, and that he was
born blind: but how he seeth
we know not, or -who hath
opened his eyes we know not:
ask himself; he is of age, let
him speak for himself. These
things his parents said, be-
cause they feared the Jews: for
the Jews had already agreed
among themselves, that if any
man should confess Him to
be Christ, he should be put out
of the synagogue. Therefore
did his parents say, He is of
age, ask him. They therefore
called the man again that had
been blind, and said to him,
Give glory to God. We know
that this man is a sinner. He
said therefore to them, If He be
2 sinner, I know not; one thing
I know, that whereas I was
blind, now I see. They then
said to him, What did He to
thee? How did He open thine
eyes? He answered them, I

know that God spoke to Moses;
but as to this man, we know
not from whence He is, The

N THOSE days, a Sunamite
woman came to Eliseus to
Mount Carmel: and when the
man of God saw her coming
towards, he said to Giezi his
servant, Behold that Suna-
mitess. Go therefore to meet
her, and say to her, Is all well
with thee, and with thy hus-
band, and with thy son? And
she answered, Well. And when
she came to the man of God
to the mount, she caught hold
on his feet: and Giezi came to
remove her. And the man of
God said, Let her alone, for her
Soul is in anguish, and the
Lord hath hid it from me and
hath not told me. And she said
to him, Did I ask a son of my
Lord? did I not say to thee, Do
not deceive me? Then he said
to Giezi, Gird up thy Joins, and

Lazarus, of Bethania, of the

that anointed the Lord with
ointment, and wiped His feet
with her hair; whose brother
Lazarus was sick). His sisters
therefore sent to Him, saying,
Lord, behold he whom Thou
lovest is sick. And Jesus hear-

ness is not unto death, but for
the glory of God, that the Son
of God may be glorified by it.
Now, Jesus loved Martha, and
her sister Mary, and Lazarus.
When He had heard therefore
that he was sick, He still re-

mained in the same place two
days. Then after that, He said
to His disciples, Let us go into
Judea again. The disciples say
to Him, Rabbi, the Jews but
now sought to stone Thee; and
goest Thou thither again? Jesus
answered, Are there not twelve
hours of the day? If a man
walk in the day he stumbleth
not, because he seeth the light
of this world: but if he walk in
the night he stumbleth, because
the light js not in him. These
things He said, and after that
He said to them, Lazarus our
friend sleepeth; but I go that
I may awake him out of sleep.
His disciples therefore said,
Lord, if he sleep he shall do
well; but Jesus spoke of his
death, and they thought that
He spoke of the repose of sleep.
Then therefore Jesus said to
them plainly, Lazarus is dead;
and I am glad for your sakes
that I was not there, that you
may believe: but let us go to
him. Thomas therefore, who is
called Didymus, said to his
fellow-disciples, Let us also go
that we may die with Him.
Jesus therefore came, and
found that he had been four
days already in the grave.
(Now Bethania was near Jerus-
alem, about fifteen furlongs
off). And many of the Jews
were come to Martha and Mary,
to comfort them concerning
their brother. Martha, there-
fore, as soon as she heard that
Jesus was come, went to meet
Him: but Mary sat at home.
Martha therefore said to Jesus,

will give it Thee. Jesus saith to
her, Thy brother shall rise
again. Martha saith to Him, I
know that he shall rise again
in the resurrection at the last
day. Jesus said to her, I am the
resurrection and the life: he
that believeth in Me, although
he be dead, shall live; and every
one that liveth and believeth
in Me, shall not die forever.
Believest thou this? She saith
to Him, Yea, Lord, I have be-
lieved, that Thou are Christ,
the Son of the living God,
Who art come into this world.
And when she had said these
things she went, and called her
sister Mary secretly, saying,
‘The Master is come, and calleth
for thee. She, as soon as she
heard this, riseth quickly, and
cometh to Him. For Jesus was
not yet come into the town, but
He was still in that place where
Martha had met Him. The
Jews therefore, who were with
her in the house and com-
forted her, when they saw

-Mary that she rose up speedily,

and went out, followed her, say-
ing, She goeth to the grave to
weep there. When Mary there-
fore was come where Jesus was,
seeing Him, she fel down at
His feet, and saith to Him,
Lord, if Thou hadst been here,
my brother had not died. Jesus
therefore, when He saw her
weeping, and the Jews that
were come with her, weeping,
groaned in the spirit, and
troubled Himself; and said,
Where have you laid him?
They say to Him, Lord, come
and see. And Jesus wept. The
Jews therefore said, Behold
how He loved him! But some of
them said, Could not He that

saith, Take away the stone.
Martha, the sister of him that
was dead, saith to Him, Lord,
by this time he stinketh; for
he is now of four days. Jesus
saith to her, Did not I say to
thee that if thou believe, thou

They took therefore the stone

Gospel according to St. John.

T THAT lime, Jesus spoke

to the multitudes of the

Jews, saying, I am the light of
the world: he that followeth
Me, walketh not in darkness,
but shall have the light of life.
The pharisees therefore said to
Him, Thou givest testimony of
Thyself; Thy testimony is not
irue. Jesus answered and said
to them. Although I give testi-
mony of Myself, My testimony
is true, for I know whence I
come, and whither I go; but
you know not whence I come,
or whither I go. You judge ac-
cording to the flesh: I judge
not any man. And if I do judge,
My judgment is true; because
I am not alone, but I and the
Father that sent Me. And in
your law it is written, that the
testimony of two men is true.
I am one that giveth testi-
mony of Myself; and the Father

that sent Me giveth testimony
of Me. They said therefore to
Him, Where is Thy Father?
Jesus answered, Neither Me do
you know, nor My Father: if
you did know Me, perhaps you
would know My Father also.
These Words Jesus spoke in the
treasury, teaching in the tem-
ple: and no man laid hands on
Him; because His hour was not
yet come.

Lesson from the Epistle of

Hebrews.

Du. Christ being
come, à high priest of
the good things to come, by a
greater and more perfect tab-
ernacle, not made with hands,
that is, not of this creation,
neither by the blood of goats
or of calves, but by His own
blood, entered once into the
Holies, having obtained eter-
nal redemption. For if the blood
of goats and of oxen, and the
ashes of an heifer being
sprinkled sanctify such as are
defiled, to the cleansing of the
flesh, how much more shall the
blood of Christ, Who, through
the Holy Ghost, offered Him-
self without spot to God,
cleanse our conscience from
dead works, to serve the living
God? And therefore He is the
mediator of the New Testa-
ment: that by means of His
death, for the redemption of
those transgressions which
were under the former testa-
ment; they that are called may
receive the promise of eternal
inheritance; in Christ Jesus
our Lord.

Lesson. Jonas 3, 1-10

Lesson from Jonas the Pro-
phet.
N THOSE days, the word of
the Lord came to Jonas the
second time, saying: Arise, and
go to Ninive the great city; and
preach in it the preaching that
I bid thee. And Jonas arose
and went to Ninive according
to the word of the Lord. Now
Ninive was 2 great city of three
days' journey. And Jonas be-
gan to enter into the city one
day's journey, and he cried,
and said, Yet forty days, and
Ninive shall be destroyed. And
the men of Ninive believed in
God, and they proclaimed a
fast, and put on sackcloth
from the greatest to the least.
And the word came to the king
of Ninive: and he rose up out
of his throne, and cast away
his robe from him, and was
clothed with sackcloth, and sat
in ashes; and he caused it to
be proclaimed and published in
Ninive from the mouth of the
king and of his princes, saying,
Let neither men, nor beasts,

Prophet.

N THOSE days, the Baby-

and said to him, Deliver us
Daniel, who hath destroyed
Bel, and slain the dragon; or
else we will destroy thee and
thy house. And the king saw
that they pressed upon him
violently; and, being con-
strained by necessity he deliv-
ered Daniel to them: and they
cast him into the den of lions,
and he was there six days.
And in the den there were
seven lions, and they had given
to them two carcasses every
day, and two sheep; but then
they were not given unto them,
that they might devour Dan-
iel. Now there was in Judea a
prophet called Habacuc: and
he had boiled pottage, and had
broken bread in a bowl, and
was going into the field to carry
it to the reapers. And the angel
of the Lord said to Habacuc,
Carry the dinner which thou
hast into Babylon, to Daniel
who is in the lion's den. And
Habacuc said, Lord, I never

Lord took him by the top of
his head and carried him by
the hair of his head, and set
him in Babylon, over the den,
in the force of his spirit. And
Habacuc cried, saying, O Dan-
iel, thou servant of God, take
the dinner that God hath sent
thee. And Daniel said, Thou
hast remembered me, O God,
and Thou hast not forsaken
them that love Thee. And Dan-
iel arose, and ate. And the
angel of the Lord presently set
Habacuc again in his own
place. And upon the seventh
day the king came to bewail
Daniel: and he came to the
den, and looked in, and behold
Daniel was sitting in the midst
of the lions. And the king cried
out with a loud voice, saying,
Great art Thou, O Lord, the
God of Daniel. And he drew
him out of the lion's den; but
those that had been the cause
of his destruction, he cast into
the den, and they were de-

T THAT time, Jesus

walked in Galilee, for
He would not walk in Judea,
because the Jews sought to kill
Him. Now the Jews' feast of
Tabernacles was at hand: and
His brethren said to Him, De-
part from hence, and go into
Judea that Thy disciples also
may see Thy works. which Thou
dost: for there is no man that
doth any thing in secret, and
he himself seeketh to be
known openly. If Thou do these
things, manifest Thyself to the
world. For neither did His
brethren believe in Him. Then
Jesus said to them, My time is
not yet come; but your time is
always ready. The world can-
not hate you; but Me it hateth,
pecause I give testimony of it,
that the works thereof are evil.
Go you up to this festival-day,
but I go not up to this festival-
day; because My time is not
accomplished. When He had
said these things, He Himself
stayed in Galilee, But after His
brethren were gone up, then He
also went up to the feast, not
openly, but as it were in secret.
The Jews therefore sought Him
on the festival-day, and said,
Where is He? And there was
much murmuring among the
multitude concerning Him: for

duceth the people. Yet.no man

for which of those works do
you stone me? The Jews an-

we stone Thee not, but for blas-

T THAT time, one of the

pharisees desired Jesus
to eat with him; and He went
into the house of the pharisee,
and sat down to meat. And
behold a woman that was in
the city, a sinner, when she
knew that He sat at meat
in the pharisee's house, brought
an alabaster box of oint-
ment; and standing behind
at ‘His feet, she began to
wash His feet with tears, and
wiped them with the hairs of
her head, and kissed his feet,
and anointed them with the
ointment. And the pharisee,
who had invited Him, seeing
it, spoke within himself, say-

whereas they had not where-

N THOSE days, Jeremias said:

O Lord, all that forsake
Thee shall be confounded: they
that depart from Thee, shall be
written in the earth: because
they have forsaken the Lord,
the vein of living waters. Heal
me, O Lord, and I shall be
healed, save me, and I sball
be saved: for Thou art my
praise. Behold they say to me:
Where is the word of the
Lord? let it come. And I am
not troubled, following Thee
for my pastor, and I have not
desired the day of man, Thou
knowest. That which went out
of my lips, had been right in
Thy sight. Be not Thou a ter-
ror unto me, Thou art my hope
in the day of affliction. Let
them be confounded that per-
secute me, and let not me be
confounded: let them be afraid,
and let not me be afraid; bring
upon them the day of affliction,
and with a double destruction
destroy them, O Lord our God.

all will believe in Him, and tht
Romans will come, and take

But one of them, named Cai-

year, sald to them, You know
nothing; neither do you con-
sider that it is expedient for
you that one man should die
for the people, and that the
whole nation perish not. And
this he spoke not of himself,
but being the high priest of
that year, he prophesied that
Jesus should die for the nation;

and not only for the nation,

but to gather together in one
the children of God that were
dispersed. From that day
therefore they devised to put
Him to death, Wherefore Jesus
walked no more openly among
the Jews; but He went into a
country near the desert, unto a
city that is called Ephrem, and
there He abode with His disci-
ples.

eth in the name of the Lord,
the king of Israel. And Jesus
found a young ass, and sat upon
it; as it is written, Fear not,
daughter of Sion; behold thy
king cometh, sitting on an ass's
colt. These things His disciples
did not know at the first; but
when Jesus was glorified, then
they remembered that these
things were written of Him,
and that they did these things
to Him. The multitude there-
fore gave testimony which was
with Him when He called Laz-
arus out of the grave, and
raised. him from the dead. For
which reason also the people
came to meet Him; because
they heard that He had done
this miracle. The pharisees
therefore said among. them-
themselves: Do you see that we
prevail nothing? behold, the
whole world is gone after Him.
Now there were: certain gen-
tiles among them, who came
up to adore on the festival-day.
These therefore came to Philip,
who was of Bethsaida of Gali-
lee, and desired him, saying:
Sir, we would see Jesus. Philip
cometh and telleth Andrew.
Again Andrew and Philip told
Jesus, But Jesus answered
them, saying, The hour is come
that the Son of man should be
glorified. Amen, amen, I say to
you, unless the grain of wheat
falling into the ground die, it
remaineth alone: but if it die,
it bringeth forth much fruit.
He that loveth his life shall
lose it; and he that hateth his
life in this world keepeth it
unto life eternal. If any man
minister to Me, let him follow
Me; and where I am, there also
shall My minister be, If any

soul troubled. And what shall I
say? Father, save Me from this
hour. Father, glorify Thy
name, A voice therefore came
from heaven, I have both glori-
fied it, and will glorify it again.
The multitude therefore that
stood and heard, said that it
thundered, Others said, An an-
gel spoke to Him. Jesus an-
swered and said, 'This voice
came not because of Me, bur
for your sakes. Now is the judg-
ment of the world: now shall
the prince of this world be cast
out. And I, if I be lifted up
trom the earth, wil draw all
things to Myself. (Now this He
said, signifying what death He
should die). The multitude an-
swered Him, We have heard out
of the law, that Christ abideth
for ever: and how sayest Thou,
The Son. of man must be lifted
up? Who is this Son of man?
Jesus therefore said to them,
Yet a little whiie, the light is
among you. Walk whilst you
have the light, that the dark-
ness overtake you not. And he
that walketh in darkness know-
eth not whither he goeth.
‘Whilst you have the light be-
Neve in the light; that you

He went away, and hid Him-
Self from them.

N THOSE days, the children
T of Israel came unto Elim,
where there were twelve foun-

palm-trees; and they encamped
by the waters. And they set for-
ward from Elim, and all the
multitude of the children of

Sin, which is between Elim and
Sinai; the fifteenth day of the
second month after they came
out of the land of Egypt. And
all the congregation of the chil-

against Moses and Aaron in
the wilderness. And the chil-
dren of Israel said to them,
Would to God we had died by
the hand of the Lord in the
land of Egypt, when we sat
over the flesh-pots, and ate
bread to the full. Why have you
brought us into this desert, that
you might destroy all the mul-
titude with famine? And the
Lord said to Moses, Behold I
will rain bread from heaven for
you: let the people go forth,
and gather what is sufficient
for every day, that I may prove
them whether they will walk in
My law or not. But the sixth
day let them provide for to
bring in; and let.it be double
to that they were wont to
gather every day. And Moses

order of Thy providence hast
been pleased to show forth the
manner of our salvation even
by means of material things,
grant, we beseech Thee, that
the devout hearts of Thy faith-
ful may understand, to their
profit, the mystical significa-
tion of the fact that on this
day the populace, filled with
heavenly enlightenment, went
out to meet the Redeemer, and
strewed under His feet branches
of olive and of palm. The palm
branches, therefore, look to
His triumph over the prince of
death, but the sprigs of olive
proclaim that in a certain man-
ner the spiritual unction is al-
ready come. For that favored
throng even then understood
that our Redeemer, condoling
with the sorrows of mankind,
was to battle with the prince of
death for the life of the whole
world, and was to triumph by
dying. And for this they waited
upon Him with such observ-
ance as should declare both the
triumph of His victory and the
richness of His mercy. Re-
membering which fact and its
signification with full faith, we,
too, beseech and supplicate
Thee, O holy Lord, almighty
Father, eternal God, through
the same Our Lord Jesus
Christ, that in Him, and
through Him, Whose members
Thou hast willed us to be, we
may be worthy to gain the vic-
tory over the empire of death
and to partake in His glorious
resurrection. Who with thee
liveth and reigneth. H. Amen.

If another priest is present the officiant goes to the middle of
the altar, where, facing the people, he receives the palm from
the priest. Both stand during the ceremony and kiss the palm.
If no other priest assists at the ceremony the server places the
palm intended for the officiant upon the altar immediately after
the palms have been blessed; the officiant proceeds to the middle,
kneels on both knees, takes his palm from the altar, kisses it,
and returns it to the server. If the ceremony is carried on
without chant the officiant then goes to the Missal at the Epistle
corner, reads the two antiphons, found below, returns to the
middle of the altar, hands the palms to the-servers, and then
distributes them to the people.

At the solemn blessing the officiant now gives each of the
clergy and laity present a palm or olive branch, or a twig of
whatever tree or shrub was blessed in place of these. Each one
on receiving his palm reverently kisses it and the hand of the
officiating priest. Meanwhile the choir sings the following

antiphons:

The children of the Hebrews,
bearing olive branches, went to
meet the Lord, crying aloud
and saying, Hosanna in the

The children of the Hebrews

The usual preparatory prayer Munda cor meum is not said be-
fore the recital of the Passion, as at high Mass, and the deacons
do not ask the priest’s blessing mor salute the people with
Dominus vobiscum when beginning their chant. Nor are they
attended as at other high Masses by thurifer and acolytes.

In order to enable the faithful to realize more fully the sad
events of our Lord’s Passion and Death, the church provides in
the liturgy for the singing of the Passion, in three voices, which
are indicated in the text below. C (standing for Chronista) rep-
resents the narrator; S (standing for Synagoga), the Jewish
People; Hm (Christus) the divine Victim, our Lord. During the
chanting or reading of the Passion, clergy and laity hold the
palms in their hands.

When the Passion is sung by three deacons the celebrant te-
cites the Passion, down to the words “And the next day," stand-
ing at he Epistle corner of the altar. On other occasions he
reads the Passion at the Gospel corner.

be crucified. C. Then there
were gathered together the
chief priests and the ancients
of the people, into the court of
the high priest, who was called
Caiphas; and they consulted
together that by subtilty they
might apprehend Jesus, and
put Him to death. But they
sald, S. Not on the festival-
day, lest there should be a
tumult among the people. C.
And when Jesus was in Beth-
ania, in the house of Simon the
leper, there came to Him a
woman having an alabaster box
of precious ointment, and
poured it on His head, as He
was at table. And the disciples
seeing it, had indignation,
saying, S. to what purpose is
this waste? for this might have
been sold for much, and given
to the poor. C. And Jesus know-
ing it, said to them, 5} Why do
you trouble this woman? for -
she hath wrought a good work
upon Me. For the poor you have
always with you; but Me you
have not always. For she, in
pouring this ointment upon my
body, hath done it for My
burial. Amen I say to you,
wheresoever this gospel shall be
preached in the whole world,
that also which she hath done
shall be told, for a memory of
her. C, Then went one of the
twelve, who was called Judas
Iscariot, to the chief priests;
and he said to them, S. What
will you give me, and I will de-
liver Him unto you? C. bu.

they appointed Him thirty pieces of silver. And from thence.
forth he sought opportunity to betray Him.

to Jesus, saying, S. Where

But Jesus said ri Go ye into the
city to a certain man, and say
to him, The Master saith, My
time is near at hand, I will
keep the pasch at thy house
with My disciples. C. And the
disciples did as Jesus had ap-
pointed them; and they pre-
pared the pasch. Now when it
was evening, He sat down with
His twelve disciples: and whilst
they were eating, He said, Hk
Amen I say to you, that one
of you is about to betray Me.
C; And they, being very much
troubled, began every one to
say, S. Is it I, Lord? C. But
He answering, said, 1 He that
dippeth his hand with Me in
the dish, he shall betray Me.
The Son of man indeed goeth,
as it is written of Him; but
woe to that man by whom the
Son of man shall be betrayed:
it were better for him, if that
man had not been born. C. And
Judas that betrayed Him, an-
swering, said, S. Is it I, Rabbi?

C. Then he released to them
Barabbas; and having scourg-
ed Jesus, delivered Him unto
them to be crucified. Then the
soldiers of the governor taking
Jesus into the hall, gathered
together unto Him the whole
band; and stripping Him, they
put a scarlet cloak about Him.
And platting a crown of thorns,
they put it upon His head, and
a reed in His right hand. And
bowing the knee before Him,
they mocked Him, saying, S.
Hail, king of the Jews. C.
And spitting upon Him, they
took the reed and struck His
head. And after they had
mocked Him, they took off the
cloak from Him, and put on
Him His own garments, and
led Him away to crucify Him.
And going out they found a
man of Cyrene, named Simon;
him they forced to take up His
cross.

which is, the place of Calvary.
And they gave Him wine to

crucified Him, they divided His
garments, casting lots; that it
might be fulfilled which was
spoken by the prophet, saying,
They divided my garments
among them, and upon My
vesture they cast lots. And they
sat, and watched Him. And
they put over His head His
cause, written: This is Jesus
the King of the Jews. Then
were crucified with Him two
thieves, one on the right hand,

it was evening, there came a
certain rich man of Arimathea,
named Joseph, who also him-
self was a disciple of Jesus. He
went to Pilate, ‘and asked the
body of Jesus. Thén Pilate
commanded that the body
should be delivered. And Joseph
taking the body, wrapt it up in
a, clean linen cloth, and laid
it in his own new monument,
which he had hewn out in a

stone to the door of the monu-

there was there Mary Mag-

set my face as a most hard

contend with me? Let us stand
together: who is my adversary?
Jet him come near to me: Be-
hold the Lord God is my
helper: who is he that shall
condemn me? Lo, they shall all
be destroyed as a garment, the
moth shall eat them up. Who
is there among you that fear-

walked in darkness, and hath
no light? let him hope in the
name of the Lord, and lean
upon his God.

H* Continuation of the holy
Gospel according to St. John.
1x days before the pasch,
Jesus came to Bethanla,
where Lazarus had been dead,
whom Jesus raised to life. And
they made Him a supper there:
&nd Martha served, but Laz-
&rus was one of them that were
at table with Him. Mary there-
fore took a pound of ointment
of right spikenard, of great
price, and anointed. the feet of
Jesus, and wiped His feet with
her hair; and the house was
filled. with the .odor. of the
ointment. Then one of His dis-
ciples, Judas Iscariot, he that
was about to betray Him, said,
Why was not this ointment
sold for three hundred pence,
and given to the poor? Now, he
said this, not because he cared
for the poor, but because he
was a thief, and having the
purse, carried what was put
therein. But Jesus said, Let her
alone, that she may keep it
against the day of My burial:
for the poor you have always
with you; but Me you have not
always. A great multitude
therefore of the Jews knew that
He was there; and they came,
not for Jesus’ sake only, but
that they might see Lazarus,
whom He had raised from the
dead.

She hath wrought a good work
upon Me. For the poor you have

Soever you will, you may do

you, Wheresoever this gospel
Shall be preached in the whole

cariot, one of the twelve, went
io the chief priests, to betray
Him to them. And they hearing

it were glad; and promised to give him money; and he sought
how he might conveniently betray Him.

The Preparation of the Pasch

Et primo die azymórum
quando pascha immolábant,
dicunt ei discípuli: S. Quo vis
eámus, et parémus tibi, ut
mandüces pascha? C. Et mit-
tit duos ex discípulis suis, ét
dicit eis: HH Ite in civitátem:
et occürret vobis homo lagé-
nam aque bájulans, sequímini
eum: et quocümque introferit,
dícite dómino domus, quia
Magíster dicit: Ubi est reféc-
tio mea, ubi pascha cum dis-
cípulis meis mandücem? Et
ipse vobis demonstrábit cená-
culum grande, stratum: et il-
lic paráte nobis. C. Et abié-
runt discfpuli ejus, et‘ vené-
runt in civitátem: et invené-
runt sicut dixerat illis, et pa-
ravérünt pascha.

Now on the first day of the
unleavened bread, when they
Sacrificed the pasch, the dis-
ciples say to Him. S. Whither
wilt Thou that we go and pre-
pare for Thee to eat the
pasch? C. And He sendeth two
of His disciples, and saith to
them, "M Go ye into the city,
and there shall meet you a man
carrying & pitcher of water;
follow him; and whithersoever
he shall go in, say to the master
of the house: The Master saith,
Where is My refectory, where
I may eat the pasch with My
disciples? And he will show
you a large dining-room fur-
nished: and there prepare ye
for us. C. And His disciples
went their way, and came to
the city; and they found as He

had told them: and they prepared the pasch.

one by one, S. Is it I? C. And
He saith to them, FK One of the

of man indeed goeth, as it is
written of Him; but woe to that
man by whom the Son of man
Shall be betrayed. It were bet-

they were eating, Jesus took
bread and blessing, broke, and
gave to them, and said, B Take

and they all drank of it, And
He said to them +H This is My
blood of the new testament,

Amen I say unto you, that I
will drink no more of this fruit
of the vine, until that day when
I shall drink it new in the

they had sung a hymn, they
went forth to the Mount of
Olives. And Jesus saith to
them, 4 You will all be scan-
dalized in My regard, this
night; for it is written, I will
strike the shepherd, and the
sheep shall be dispersed. But
after I shall be risen again, I
will go before you into Galilee.
C. But Peter saith to Him, S.

And they came to a farm
called Gethsemani; and He
saith to His disciples, FR Sit
you here, while I pray. C. And
He taketh Peter and James,
and John with Him; and He
began to fear, and to be heavy:
and He saith to them, My
soul is sorrowful even unto
death; stay you here, and
watch. C. And when He had
gone forward a little, He fell
flat on the ground; and He
prayed that if it might be, the
hour might pass from Him.
And He said, FR Abba, Father,
all things are possible to Thee;
take away this chalice from
Me: but not what I will, but
what Thou wilt. C. And He
cometh, and findeth them
sleeping. And He saith te
Peter, 11 Simon, sleepest thou?
couldst thou not watch one
hour? Watch ye, and pray, that
you enter not into temptation.
The spirit indeed is willing, but
the flesh is weak. C. And go-
ing away again, He prayed,
Saying the same words. And
when He returned, He found
them again asleep (for their
eyes wete heavy), and they
knew not what to answer Him.
And He cometh the third time,
and saith to them, HK Sleep ye
now, and take your rest. It is

enough; the hour is come: behold the Son of man shall be
betrayed into the hands of sinners. Rise up, let us go; behold
he that will betray Me is at hand. `

I wil build another not made

But the chief priests moved the

C. So Pilate, being willing to

And the soldiers led Him

and they call together the

Him with purple; and platting
a crown of thorns, they put it

with a reed; and they did spit
on Him; and bowing their
knees, they worshipped Hin.
And after they had mocked
Him, they took off the purple
from Him, and put His own

led Him out to crucify Him:

Jesus Is Crucified

And crucifying Him, they di-
vided His garments, casting
lots upon them, what every
man should take. And it was
the third hour, and they cruci-
fied Him: and the inscription
of His cause was written over,
The King of the Jews. And
with Him they crucify two
thieves, the one on His right
hand, and the other on His
left; and the Scripture was
fulfilled which saith, And with
the wicked He was reputed.
And they that passed by, blas-
phemed Him wagging their
heads, and saying. S. Vah,
Thou that destroyest tbe temple
of God, and in three days
buildest it up again; save Thy-
self, coming down from the
cross. C. In like manner also
the chief priests with the
scribes, mocking, said to one
another, S. He saved others,
Himself He cannot save. Let
Christ the king of Israel come
down from the cross, that. we
may see, and believe. C. And
they that were crucified with
Him reviled Him. And when
the sixth hour was come, there
was darkness over the whole
earth, until the ninth hour;
and at the ninth hour, Jesus
cried out with a loud voice,
saying, & Eloi, Eloi, lamma

And there were also women

And when evening was now

who was also himself looking
for the kingdom of God, came,
and went in boldly to Pilate,
and begged the body of Jesus.
But Pilate wondered that He
should be already dead: and
sending for the centurion, he
asked him if He were already
dead; and when he had under-
stood it by the centurion, he
gave the body to Joseph. And
Joseph buying fine linen, and

Him up in the fine linen, and
laid Him in a sepulchre which

infirmities, and carried our
sorrows; and we have thought
Him as it were a leper, and as
one struck by God and aí-
flicted. But He was wounded
for our iniquities, He was
bruised for our sins: the chas-
tisement of our peace was upon
Him, and by His bruises we are
healed. All we like sheep have
gone astray, every one hath
turned aside into his own way,

the iniquity of us all. He was

open His mouth. He was taken
away from distress and from
judgment; who shall declare
His generation? because He is
cut off out of the land of the
living; for the wickedness of
My people have I struck Him.
And He shall give the ungodly
for His burial, and the rich for
His death: because He hath
done no iniquity, neither was
there deceit in His mouth.
And the Lord was pleased to
bruise Him in infirmity: if He
shall lay down His life for sin,
He shall see a long-lived seed,
and the will of the Lord shall
be prosperous in His hand. Be-
cause His soul hath labored. He
shall see and be filled: by His

Judas Approaches to Apprehend Jesus

he that was called Judas, one
of the twelve, went before
them, and drew near to Jesus
to kiss Him. And Jesus said to
him, 5H Judas, dost thou be-

about Him, seeing what would
follow, said to Him, S. Lord,
shall we strike with the sword?
C. and one of them struck the

Jesus Before the High Priest

C. Then they laid hold on
Him, and led Him to the high

lowed afar off. And when they
had kindled a fire in the midst
of the hall, and were sitting
about it, Peter was in the
midst of them. And when a
certain servant-maid had seen
him sitting at the light, and
had earnestly looked upon him,
she said, S. This man also
was with Him. C. But he
denied Him, saying, C. Woman,
I know Him not. C. And after
a little while, another, seeing
him, said, S. Thou also art one
of them. C. But Peter said, S.

about the space as it were
of one hour, another certain
man affirmed, saying, S. Of

with Him, for he is also a
Galilean. C. And Peter said, S.

struck Thee? C. And blasphem-

said against Him. And, as
Soon as it was day, the an-

chief priests and scribes came
together, and they brought
Him into their council, saying,

man. C. But they were more
earnest, saying, S. He stirreth
up the people teaching
throughout all Judea, begin-
ning from Galilee to this place.
C. But Pilate hearing Galilee,
asked if the man were of Gali-
lee? and when he understood
that He was of Herod's juris-
diction, he sent him away to
Herod, who was also himself at
Jerusalem in those. days. And
Herod, seeing Jesus, was very
glad; for he was desirous of a
long-time to see Him, because
he had heard many things of
Him, and he hoped to see some
sign wrought by Him: and. he
questioned Him in many
words; but He answered him
nothing. And the chief priests
and the scribes stood by, earn-
estly accusing Him, And Herod
with his. army set Him at
naught; and mocked Him, put-
ting on Him a white garment;
and sent Him back to Pilate.
And Herod and Pilate were
made friends that. same day;
for before they were enemies
one to another. And Pilate call-
ing together the chief priests,
and the magistrates, and the
people, said to them, S. You
have presented unto me this
man as one that perverteth the
people, and behold I, having
examined Him before you, find
no cause in this man in those
things wherein you accuse
Him; no, nor Herod neither,
for I sent you to him, and. be-
hold nothing worthy of death
is done to Him: I will chastise
Him therefore, and release
Him. C. Now of necessity he
was io release unto them one
upon the .feast-day: but the
whole multitude together cried

out, saying, S. Away with this
man, and release unto us Bar-
abbas; C. who, for a certain
sedition made in the city, and

for à murder, was cast into prison.
Pilate Consents to the Crucifixion

And Pilate again spoke to
them, desiring to release Je-
sus. But they cried again, say-
ing, S. Crucify Him, crucify
Him. C. And he said to them a
third time, S. Why, what evil
hath He done? I find no cause
of death in Him: I will chas-
tise Him therefore; and let
Him go. C. But they were in-
stant with loud voices requir-
ing that He might be crucified:
and their voices prevailed. And
Pilate gave sentence, that it
should be as they required. And
he released unto them him,
who, for murder and sedition,
had been cast into prison,
whom they had desired; but
Jesus he delivered over to their
will. And as they led Him away,
they laid hold on one Simon of
Cyrene, that was coming out
of the country; and they laid
the cross on him to carry after
Jesus. And there followed Him
a great multitude of people,
and of women, who bewailed,
and lamented Him. But Jesus
turning to them, said, &
Daughters of Jerusalem, weep
not over Me, but weep for
yourselves, and for your chil-
dren: for behold the days shall
come, wherein they will say,
Blessed are the barren, and the

HOLY THURSDAY 447

Copyright. by Beniiger Bro:za

Maundy ot Holp Thursday (Purple-White)
STATION AT ST. JOHN LATERAN

On Maundy Thursday the Church commemorates the in-
stitution of the Blessed Eucharist. On this day one Mass only
can be said in the same church and that must be a public
one. White vestments are worn by the priest, the altar is
decked with flowers, and even the purple veil, which covers
the cross during Passion-tide, is replaced by one of white.
The celebrant consecrates two hosts, one for the priest who
oficiates on Good Friday, when there is no consecration. This
host is carried in procession to a place known as the Reposi-
tory Gr Sepulchre, where it remains until the following ‘day.
After the Mass on Maundy Thursday the signs of mourning
proper to Passion-tide are resumed: the altar is stripped of
tts coverings and of ornaments of all kinds, the lights in the
sanctuary are extinguished, and the door of the empty taber-
nacle is left open. In Rome the Pope washes the feet of
thirteen poor persons, all of them priests. On Maundy Thurs-
day the yearly consecration of the holy oils takes place, each
bishop consecrating a sufficient quantity of these oils for the
wants of his diocese during the ensuing year. These oils are
three in number: the oil for the sacrament of Extreme Unc-
tion; that for anointing those who are_to be baptized, and also
for anointing the priest’s hands at his ordination; and the
Sacred chrism, a mixture of oil and balsam used in the sacra-
ment of Confirmation and at the consecration of bishops.

also I delivered to you, that the
Lord Jesus, the same night in
which He was betrayed, took
bread, and giving thanks,
broke, and said, Take ye, and
eat; this is My body which
Shall be delivered for you; this
do for the commemoration of
Me. In like manner also the
chalice, after He had supped,
saying, 'This chalice is the new
testament, in My blood; this
do ye, as often as you shall
drink, for the commemora-
tion of Me. For as often 85 you
shall eat this bread, and drink
the chalice, you shall show the
death of the Lord until He
come, Therefore, whoscever
shall eat this bread, or drink
the chalice of the Lord un-
worthily, shall be guilty of the
body and of the blood of the
Lord. But let a man prove him-
self; and so let him eat of that
bread, and drink of the chalico.
For he that eateth and drink-
eth unworthily, eateth and
drinketh judgment to himself;
not discerning the body of the
Lord, Therefore are.there many
infirm and weak among ycu,
and many sleep. But if we
would judge ourselves, we
should not be judged: but
whilst we are judged,. we are
chastised by the Lord, that we
be not. condemned with this
world.

Phil.2,8,9.

Christ became obedient for
us unto death, even the death
of the cross. Y. Wherefore God
also hath exalted Him, and
hath given Him a name which
is above every name. |

Gospel. John 13, 1-15

H Continuation of the holy
Gospel according to St. John.

EFORE the festival-day of

the pasch, Jesus know-

ing that His hour was come
that He should pass out of this
world to the Father, having
loved His own who were in the
world, He loved them unto the
end. And when supper was
done (the devil having now put
into the heart of Judas Iscar-
lot, the son of Simon, to betray
Him), knowing that the
Father had given Him all
things into His hands, and that
He came from God, and goeth
to God; He riseth from supper,
and layeth aside His garments,
and having taken a towel, He
girdeth Himself; and after that
He putteth water into a basin,
and began to wash the feet of
the disciples, and to wipe them
with the towel wherewith He
was girded. He cometh there-
fore to Simon Peter. And Peter
was my teet? Jesus answered;
and said to him, What I do
thou knowest not now, but thou
shalt know hereafter. Peter
saith to Him, Thou shalt never
wash my feet. Jesus answered
him, If I wash thee not, thou
shalt have no part with Me.
Simon Peter saith to Him,
Lord, not only my feet, but also
my hands, and my head. Jesus
saith to him, He that is washed,
needeth not but to wash his
feet, but is clean wholly. And
you are clean, but. not all. For
He knew who he was. that
would betray Him: therefore
He said, You are not all clean.
Then after He had washed

HOLY THURSDAY

The Mandatum or Washing of feet

When this ceremony is to take place the clergy meet either
in the church or other appointed place where the persons
whose feet are to be washed are awaiting them. The Church
dignitary who is to officiate wears a purple cope over his alb
and stole, but his deacon and subdeacon are in white. A
cleric holds a processional cross and acolytes carry lights and
incense. The passage of the Gospel that relates how our
blessed Lord washed His disciples’ feet, and that was sung
earlier at the high Mass, is then chanted, after which the
officiating prelate removes his cope, and, putting on an apron,
kneels and washes the feet of those who are waiting, wipes
them, and then humbly kisses the tight foot of each person
he has waited on. The deacon and subdeacon assist him when
necessary, The choir in the meanwhile chants the following:

Good Friday (Black)
STATION AT HOLY CROSS IN JERUSALEM
On this day the Church commemorates the Passion of

Christ, so that it is the saddest and, most solemn day in Holy
Week.. The officiating clergy enter the sanctuary vested in
black and prostrate themselves before the altar, which is still
stripped. The candles are not lighted, the organ is not played,
nor are.the bells rung. The most striking and singular feature
of the Good Friday liturgy is the omission of holy Mass. In its
place is the Mass of the Presanctified in which the priest re-
ceives in holy communion a host previously consecrated. The
Blessed .Sacrament is borne from the repository or chapel
where it was placed the previous day, while the choir sings the
hymn Vexilla Regis (“The Banners of the King"), page 490.
The priest places the host on the altar and the candles are
lighted, The Blessed Sacrament is elevated and adored, while
a wooden clapper is sounded. All this and what follows, ap-
pears here in the Missal. Good Friday is not a holy-day of
obligation; the Church forbids the giving of holy communion
to the faithful, except as Viaticum to the dying.

The clergy and people assemble at en appointer time. The
officiating priest, with his deacon and subdeacon, enter the
sanctuary and prostrate themselves before the altar. The
acolytes spread a linen cloth on the altar and put the Missal
in place. The priest goes to the Epistle corner, amd, the first
Lesson is chanted. t

In the absence of sacred ministers all the prayers are recited

or sung, if the custom prevails), at the Epistle corner. The
essons and the Passion are read at the same place.

Lesson.

'HUS saith the Lord, In their
affliction they will rise

early to Me: Come, and let us
return to the Lord; for He hath
taken us, and He will heal us:
He will strike, and He will cure
us. He will revive us after two
days; on the third day He will
raise us up, and we shall live in
His sight. We shall know, and
we shall follow on, that we may
know the Lord. His going forth
is prepared as the morning
light, and He will come to us

to the earth. Wnat snaiu 1 ao
to thee, O Ephraim? what shall
I do to thee, O Juda? Your
mercy is as a morning cloud,
and as the dew that goeth
away in the morning. For this
reason have I hewed them by
the prophets. I have slain them
by the words of My mouth: and
Thy judgments shall go forth
as the light. For I desired mer-
cy and not sacrifice; and the
knowledge of God more than
holocausts.

because Jesus had often re-

ing received a band of soldiers,
and servants from the chief
priests and the pharisees, com-
eth thither with lanterns, and
torches, and weapons. Jesus
therefore knowing all things
that should come upon Him,
went forth, and said to them
‘#Whom seek ye? C. They an-

I am He. C. And Judas also,
who betrayed Him, stood with
them. As soon therefore as He
had said to them, I am He, they
went backward, and fell to the
ground. Again therefore He
asked them, "* Whom seek ye?

And Simon Peter followed Je-
sus, and so did another dis-
ciple; and that disciple was
known to the high priest, and
went in with Jesus into the
court of the high priest. But Pe-
ter stood at the door without.
The other disciple therefore,
who was known to the high
priest, went out and spoke to
the portress, and brought in
Peter. The maid therefore that
was portress, saith to Peter. S.
Art not thou also one of this
man’s disciples? C. He saith. S.
I am not. C. Now the servants
and ministers stood at a fire of
coals, because it was cold, and
warmed themselves; and with
them was Peter also standing,
and warming himself, The high
priest therefore asked Jesus of
His disciples, and of His doc-
trine. Jesus answered him, mH I
have spoken openly to the
world; I have always taugbt in
the synagogue, and in the tem-
ple, whither all the Jews re-
Sort; and in secret I have
Spoken nothing. Why askest
thou Me? ask them who have

He had said these things, one
of the servants standing by
gave Jesus a blow, saying, S.
Answerest Thou the high priest
so? C. Jesus answered him, 9"
If I have spoken evil, give tes-
timony of the evil; but if well,
why strikest Thou Me? And
Annas sent Him bound to Cai-
phas, the high priest. And Si-
mon Peter was standing and
warming himself. They said
therefore to him, S. Art not

C. He denied it and said, S. Tam

him whose ear Peter cut off)

thee in the garden with Him?
C. Again therefore Peter de-
nied; and immediately the cock
crew. Then they led Jesus from
Caiphas to the governor’s hall.
And it was morning: and they
went not into the hall, that
they might not be defiled, but
that they might eat the pasch.
Pilate therefore went out to

C. And when he had said
this, he went out again to the
Jews, and saith to them, S. J

Barabbas was a robber. Then
therefore Pilate took Jesus and
scourged him. And ‘the soldiers
platting a crown of thorns, put
it upon His head; and they put
on Him a purple garment. And

Behold the man. C. When the

When Pilate therefore had
heard this saying, he feared the
more. And he entered into the
hall again, and he said to Jesus,
S. Whence art Thou? C, But
Jesus gave him no answer, Pi-
late therefore saith to him, S.
Speakest Thou not to me?
knowest Thou not that I have
power to crucify Thee, and I
have power to release Thee? C.
Jesus answered, ‘4 Thou
shouldst not have any power
against Me, unless it were given
thee from above. Therefore he
that hath delivered Me to thee
hath the greater sin. C. And
from thenceforth Pilate sought
to release Him. But the Jews
cried out, saying, S. If thou re-
lease this man, thou art not
Cesar’s friend. For whosoever
maketh himself a king, speak-
eth against Cesar. C. Now when

each side, and Jesus in the
midst. And Pilate wrote a title
also, and he put it upon the
cross: and the -writing was,
Jesus of Nazareth, the King of
the Jews. This title therefore
many of the Jews did read, be-
cause the place where Jesus was
crucified was nigh to the city:
and it was written in Hebrew,
in Greek, and in Latin. Then
the chief priests of the Jews
said to Pilate, S. Write not the
King of the Jews, but that He
said, I am the King of the Jews.
C. Pilate answered, S. What I
have written I have written.
C. Then the soldiers, when they
had crucified Him, took His
garments (and they made four
parts, to every soldier a part),
and also His coat. Now the
coat was without seam, woven
from the top throughout. They
said then one to another, S.
Let us not cut it, but let us cast
lots for it, whose it shall be;
C. that the Scripture might be
fulfilled which saith, They have
parted My garments among
them, and upon My vesture
they have cast lots. And the
soldiers indeed did these things.
Now there stood by the cross of
Jesus, His mother, and His
mother’s sister Mary of Cleo-
phas, and Mary Magdalene.
When Jesus therefore saw His
mother, and the disciple stand-
ing whom He loved, He saith to
His mother, X Woman, behold
thy son. C. After that, He saith
to the disciple, & Behold thy
mother. C, And from that hour
the disciple took her to his own.

When the Jews (because it
was ihe Parasceve), that the
bodies might not remain upon
the cross on the sabbath-day
(for that was a great sabbath-
Gay), besought Pilate that their
legs might be broken, and that
they might be taken away. The
soldiers therefore came; and
they broke the legs of the first,
and of the other that was cru-
cified with him. But after they
were come to Jesus, when they
saw that He was already dead,
they did not break His legs. But
one of the soldiers opened His
side with & spear, and immedi-
ately there came out. blood and
water. And he that saw it hath
given testimony, and his tes-

The solemn prayers being ended, the officiating priest disests

himself of his black chasuble, and having received from the
Geacon the altar cross, which was veiled at the beginning of
Passion-tide, he uncovers, before all the people, first, the head
of the crucifiz, next, the right arm, and lastly the entire cross.
While doing this, he goes from the Epistle corner to the centre
of the altar, lifting the cross higher at each step and thrice
chanting, each time on a higher note:

Ecce lignum crucis. In quo Behold the wood of the cross,
salus mundi pepéndit. on which has hung the Salva-
tion of the world.

And each time kneeling, the choir and people answer.
Venite, adorémus. Come, let us adore.

The priest now lays the unveiled cross on a cushion, in the
centre of the sanctuary. Then he removes his shoes and,
genuflecting three times, humbly kisses the feet of the cruci-
fi. The deacon and subdeacon, followed by the rest of the
clergy, do likewise, and then the deacon carries the cross to a
place outside the sanctuary, where the laity approach to vene-
rate it. The following words may be said while doing reverence
to the holy cross: "We adore Thee, O Christ, and: we bless
Thee; because by thy holy cross Thou hast redeemed the
world.”

Meanwhile the choir sings the Improperia, or Reproaches, as
follows:

y. Pópule meus, quid feci
tibi? aut in quo contristávi
te? respónde mihi. Y. Quia
eduxi te de terra Atgypti:

X. O My people, what have I
done unto thee? or in what

Eastern Church:

Lastly is sung the Hymn of the Passion: `

The cross having been again set up on the altar, and candles
lit as for high Mass, the clergy move to the chapel or reposi-

don, with lights and incense/ to the high altar, the cele-

cess

choir singing the hymn Vexilla Regis (“The Banners of the

The chalice is placed on the altar, the Sacred Host lying

before it on the corporal, the small linen altar-cloth. Wine
mired with a little water is poured into the chalice and the
altar is incensed as at high Mass. The priest washes his fingers,

but does not recite the Psalm Lavabo.

Returning to the

middle of the altar he silently prays:

In the spirit of humility and
in a contrite mind may we be

may our sacrifice become in
Thy sight such as to please
'Thee, O Lord God.

He now turns to the people, saying the Orate fratres, as

Brethren, pray that my sac-
rifice and yours may become
acceptable before God the
Father almighty.

No answer is made, and the celebrant proceeds to rectte the

Lord’s Prayer.

Let us pray

particle dropped therein, he purifies it with the customary
ablutions, Saying in the last place the prayer:

it be to us the healing of our
souls for eternity.

The ceremony is now ended and the priest and his ministers
leave the sanctuary, the acolytes removing the altar-cloth and
extinguishing the candles. The altar of the repository is also
dismantled, and, until the Mass of the Resurrection on the
following morning, Catholic churches remain without the
Real Presence, which is their glory, So that the dying may
not be deprived of Holy Viaticum, some consecrated particles
are kept in à tabernacle, with a lamp burning before it; either
in the sacristy or in some nearby chapel.

Before retiring, the clergy recite the Vesper Psalms as on
Maundy Thursday, page 455, using the following antiphon
before and after the Magnificat: _

Cum accepísset acétum, When He had received the

The ceremonies of this day begin early in the morning with
the blessing of a new fire that has been kindled with flint and
steel. From this fire a candle with three stems, and placed on
a reed, is lighted and carried up the church by a deacon, who
three times chants the words "Lumen Christi.” The paschal
candle is blessed by the deacon, who. fizes in it five grains of
blessed incense in memory of the wounds of Christ and the
precious spices with which He was anointed in the tomb, and
afterwards lights it from the candle on the reed. The bless
ing of the candle is followed by the reading of the twelve
prophecies, and after that the priest goes in procession to bless
the font. The water in the font is scattered toward the four
quarters of the world, to indicate the catholicity of the Church
and the world-wide efficacy of her sacraments; the priest
breathes on the water in the form of a cross and plunges the

aschal candle into the water, for the Spirit of God is to

allow it, and the power of Christ is to descend on it; lastly,
a few drops of the oil of catechumens and. of the chrism are
poured into the font, im order to signify the union of Christ,
our anointed King, with His people. On the way back from
the font the Litany of the Saints is begun, and when it is
ended the altar is decked with flowers and the Mass is begun

Saying the following prayer the celebrant blesses the five
grains of incense which are to be inserted in the wax of the
paschal candle and afterwards sprinkles with holy water and
incenses both the fire and the grains of incense:

brought from the mystery of

Amen.

The deacon now puts on a white dalmatic, and taking in his

hand a war candle, so moulded as to end in three separate
branches (a symbol of the Holy Trinity), enters the church ac-
companied by the officiating priest and the rest of the clergy.
While going toward the sanctuary he stops three times, so
that the wax branches he is carrying may be successively
lighted; chanting each time the words:

Lumen Christi. Light of Christ.
At each announcement all present kneel and answer.
W. Deo grátias. BY. We thank thee, O God.

On reaching the altar steps the deacon kneels and prays as
when about to read the holy Gospel at Mass.

He then chants the following ancient song of praise, known

as the Paschale Preconium, or

Easter Laud, in which the

hallowing of the paschal candle is embodied.

Now, let the angelic host of

separate believers in Christ
from the iniquities of the world
and the gloom of sins, doth re-
store them to grace, and join
them unto holiness. 'This is the
night on which, bursting the
bonds of death, Christ came
victorious from the grave. For
it profited us nothing to be born
except that we might be re-
deemed. O wondrous conde-
scension of Thy great kindness
in our regard! O inestimable
affection of charity: to redeem
the slave, Thou didst give up

of Adam, that is wiped out by
the death of Christ! O happy
fault, that was worthy to have
such and so great a redeemer!
O truly blessed night, that
alone Was worthy to know the
time and the hour when Christ
rose again from the dead. This
is the night of which it is writ-
ien: And the night shall be
enlightened like day; and the
night is my enlightening in my
pleasures.

days and forty nights. In the
selfsame day Noe, and Sem and
Cham and Japheth, his sons,
his wife, and the three wives of
his sons with them, went into
the ark; they and. every beast
according to its kind, and all
the cattle in their kind, and
every thing that moveth upon
the earth according to its kind,
and every fowl according to its
kind. And the ark was carried
upon the waters: and the wa-
ters prevailed beyond measure
upon the earth, and all the high
mountains under the whole
heaven were covered; the water
was fifteen cubits higher than
the mountains which it: cov-
ered. And all flesh was de-
stroyed that moved upon the
earth, both of fowl, and of cat-
tle, and of beasts, and of all
creeping things that creep upon
the earth. And Noe only re-
mained, and they that were
with him in the ark. And the
waters prevailed upon the earth
a hundred and fifty days. And
God remembered Noe, and all
the living creatures, and all the
cattle-which were with him in
the ark, and brought a wind
upon the earth, and the waters
were abated; the fountains also
of the deep and the floodgates
of heaven were shut up, and the
rain from heaven was re-
Strained. And the waters re-
turned from off the earth, going
and coming; and they began
to be abated after a hundred
and fifty days. And after that
forty days were passed, Noe
opened the window of the ark,
which he had made, sent forth
a raven, which went forth, and
did not return till the waters
were dried up upon the earth.

He sent forth also a dove after
him, to. see if the waters had
ceased upon the face of the
earth: but she not finding
where her foot might rest, re-
turned to him into the ark, for
the waters were upon the whole
earth; and he put forth his
hand, and caught her, and
brought her into the ark. And
having waited yet seven other
days, he again sent forth the
dove out of the ark. And she
came to him in the evening
carrying a bough of an olive-
tree with green leaves in her
mouth, Noe therefore under-
stood that the waters were
ceased upon the earth. And he
stayed yet another seven days;
and he sent forth the dove,
which returned not any more
unto him. And God spake to
Noe, saying, Go out of the ark,
thou and thy wife, thy sons,
and the wives of thy sons with

Gen. 22, 1-19

In those days, God tempt-
ed Abraham, and said to him,
Abraham,. Abraham: and he
answered, Here I am. He
said to him, Take thy only-be-
gotten son Isaac, whom thou
lovest, and go into the land of
vision; and there thou shalt
offer him for an holocaust upon
one of the mountains which I
will show thee. So Abraham
rising up in the night, saddled
his ass, and took with him two
young men, and Isaac his son;
and when he had cut wood for
the holocaust, he went his way
to the place which God ‘had
commanded him. And on the
third day, lifting up his eyes,
he saw the place afar off; and
he said to his young men, Stay
you here with the ass: I and
the boy will go with speed as
far as yonder, and, after we
have worshipped will return
to you. And he took the wood
for the holocaust, and laid
it upon Isaac his son: and
he himself carried in his hands
fire and a sword. And as they
two went-on together, Isaac
said to his father, My father;
and he answered, What wilt

Abraham said, God will provide
Himself a victim for a holo-
caust, my son. So they went on
together; and they came to the
place Which God had showed
him, where he built an altar,
and laid the wood in order upon
it; and when he had bound
Isaac his son, he laid him on
the altar upon the pile of wood;
and he put forth his hand, and
took the sword to sacrifice his
son. And behold an angel of
the Lord from heaven called
to him, saying, Abraham, Abra-
ham; and he answered, Here I
am. And he said to him, Lay
not thy hand upon the boy,
neither do thou anything to
him; now I know that thou
fearest God, and hast not
spared thy only-begotten son

In those days, the morning

the Lord, looking upon the
Egyptian army through the pil-

slew their host, and overthrew
the wheels of the chariots, and
they were carried into the deep.
And the Egyptians said, Let us
flee from Israel, for the Lord
fighteth for them against us.
And the Lord said to Moses,
Stretch forth thy hand over the
sea, that the waters may come
again upon the Egyptians, upon
their chariots and horsemen.
And when Moses had stretched
forth his hand toward the sea,
it returned, at the first break
of day, to the former place;

soul shall live, and I will make
an everlasting covenant with

In those days, the hand of
the Lord was upon me, ana
brought me forth in the spirit
of the Lord, and set me down
in the midst of a plain that was
full of bones; and He led me
about through them on every
side: now there were very many
upon the face of the plain, and
they Were exceeding dry. And
He said to me, Son of man, dost
thou think these bones shall
live? And I answered, O Lord
God, Thou knowest. And He
said to me, Prophesy concern-
ing these bones, and say to
them, Ye dry. bones, hear the
word of the Lord. Thus saith
the Lord God to these bones,
Behold, I wil sen spirit into
you, and you shall live, ana I
will lay sinews upon you, aud
will cause flesh to grow over
you, and will cover you with
skin; and I will give you spirit,
and you shall live, and you shall
know that I am the Lord. And
I prophesied as He had com-
manded me; and as I prophe-
sied there was a noise, and be-
hold a commotion; and the
bones came together, each one
to its joint. And I saw, and be-
hold the sinews and the flesh
came up upon them, and the
skin was stretched out over
them, but there was no spirit
in them: And He said to me,
Prophesy to the spirit; proph-
esy, O son of man, and say to
the spirit, Thus saith the Lord
God, Come, spirit from the four
winds, and blow upon these
slain, and let them live again.
And I prophesied as He had
commanded me; and the spirit
came into them, and they lived;

vine font, reborn to newness of
life, and that grace as a mother
may bring forth every one, how
different so ever in age or sex,
into a like spiritual infancy.
At Thy bidding, therefore, O
Lord, may every unclean spirit
depart from hence; far be re-
moved all malice of diabolical
deceit, Here let no admixture
of the enemy’s power have any

May this holy and innocent
creature be free from every as-
sault of the adversary and
purged of every flaw of wicked-
ness. May it be a living foun-

purifying tide, that all who
shall be washed in these waters
of salvation may, by the work-

obtain ‘the favor of perfect
cleansing.

During the return of the procession from the baptistery to
the sanctuary, the following shorter form of the Litany of the
Saints is sung. When he reaches the altar-steps, the cele-
brant, with his deacon and subdeacon, remain prostrate on the
ground until the cantors intone the invocation beginning,
Peccatores (“We sinners, beseech Thee, hear us”). They then
rise, and going to the sacristy they lay aside their purple vest-
ments, and robe in the richer ones of white appointed for
Easter. They return before the altar at such time as will
enable them to recite the Psalm and Confession (the Con-
fiteor), with which holy Mass begins, while the choir is clos-
ing the litany with the chant of the Kyrie eleison. During
their absence the candles on the altar are lighted, flowers are
placed upon it, and the pictures and statues in the church
are unveiled,

The following litany is intoned by two chanters and the choir

answers, i.e., repeats all the words of the two chanters:

And very early in the morning,
the first day of the week, they
come to the sepulchre, the sun
being now risen; and they said
one to another, Who shall roll
back the stone from the door of
the sepulchre? And looking,
they saw the stone rolled back:
for it was very great. And en-
tering into the sepulchre, they
saw a young man sitting on the
right side, clothed with a white
robe, and they were astonished:
who saith to them, Be not af-
frighted; you séek Jesus of Naz-
areth, Who was crucified: He is
risen, He is not here; behold
the place where they laid Him:
but go, tell His disciples, and
Peter, that He goeth before you

ish, and slow of heart to be-
lieve in all things which the
prophets have spoken! Ought
not Christ to have suffered
these things, and so to enter
into His glory? And,. beginning
at Moses and all the prophets,
He expounded to them in all
the Scriptures the things that
were concerning Him. And they
drew nigh to the town whither
they were going; and He made
as though He would go farther.
But they constrained Him, say-
ing: Stay with us, because it is
toward evening, and the day is
now far spent. And He went in
with them, And it came to pass,
whilst He was at table with
them, He took bread, and
blessed, and broke, and gave to
them; and their eyes were
opened, and they knew Him,
and He vanished out of their
sight. And they said one to the
other, Was not our heart burn-
ing within us whilst He spoke
in the way, and opened to us
the Scriptures? And, rising up
the same hour, they went back

-to Jerusalem, and they found

ihe eleven gathered together,
and those that were with them,
Saying, the Lord is risen in-
deed, and hath appeared to Si-

mon. And they told what things were done in the way, and how
they knew Him in the breaking of bread.

Lesson from the Acts of the
Apostles.

N THOSE days, Paul standing
T up, and with his hand be-
speaking silence, said, Men,
brethren, children of the stock
of Abraham, and whosoever
among you fear God, to you
the word of this salvation is
sent. For they that inhabited
Jerusalem, and the rulers
thereof, not knowing Him, nor
the voices of the prophets
which are read every sabbath,
judging Him have fulfilled
them; and finding no cause of
death in Him, they desired of
Pilate that they might kill
Him. And when they had ful-
filed all things that were
written of Him, taking Him
down from the tree, they
laid Him in a sepulchre. But
God raised Him up from the
dead the third day; Who was
seen for many days by them
who came up with Him from
Galilee to Jerusalem, who to
this present time are His wit-
nesses to- the people. And we
declare unto you that the prom-
ise which was made to our
fathers, the same God hath ful-
filled to our children, raising up
Our Lord Jesus Christ.

Ps. 117, 24

This is the day which the
Lord hath made: let us be glad
and rejoice therein. Y. Ps. 106,
2. Let those now speak who have
been redeemed by Our Lord:
whom He hath redeemed out
of the hand of the enemy, and
gathered out of the nations.
Alleluia, alleluia. Y. The Lord

Why are you troubled, and why
do thoughts arise in your
hearts? See My hands, and My
feet, that it is I Myself; handle
‘Me, and see: for a spirit hath
ot flesh and bones, as yow see
Me to have. And when He had
said this, He showed them His
hands, and His feet. But while
they yet believed not, and won-

here anything to eat? And they

Lessons from the Acts of the
Apostles.

N THOSE days, Peter open-
ing his mouth, said, Ye
men of Israel, and ye that fear
God, hear. The God of Abra-
ham, 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.
Bnt you denied the Holy One
snd the Just, and desired e
you. But the Author of life you
killed, Whom God hath raised
from the dead, of which we
are witnesses. And now, breth-
ren, I know that you did it
through ignorance, as did also
your rulers. But those things
which God before had showed
by the mouth of all the proph-
ets, that His Christ should suf-
fer, He hath so fulfilled. Repent
therefore, and be converted,
that your sins may be blotted
out.

TH Continuation of the Holy
Gospel according to St. John.

T THAT lime, Jesus showed

Himself again to His
disciples at the sea of ‘Tiberias.
And He showed Himself after
this manner. There were to-
gether Simon Peter, and
Thomas, who is called Didy-
mus, and Nathanael, who was
of Cana in Galilee, and the sons
of Zebedee and two others of
His disciples. Simon Peter
saith to them, I go & 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 dis-
ciples came in the ship (for
they were not fer from. the
land, but as it were two hun-
dred 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 now have
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? know-
ing that it was the Lord. And
Jesus cometh and taketh bread,
and giveth them, and fish in
like manner.

Magdalen cometh early, when

She ran therefore, and cometh

loved, and saith to them: They
have taken away the Lord out
of the sepulchre, and we know
not where tbey have laid Him.
Peter therefore went out, and
that other disciple, and they
came to the sepulchre; and
they both ran together, and
that other disciple did outrun
Peter, and came first to the
sepulchre. And when he
stooped down, he saw the
linen cloths lying, but yet he
went not in. Then cometh
Simon Peter, following him,
and went into the sepulchre,
and saw the linen cloths lying,
and the napkin that had been
about His head, not lying with
the’ linen cloths, but apart,
wrapt up into one place. Then
that other disciple also went
in, who came first to the sepul-
chre: and he saw, and be-
lieved: for as yet they knew
not the Scripture, that He

Lesson from the Epistle of

EARLY beloved, Whatso-
D ever is born of God, over-
cometh the world; and this is
the victory which overcometh
the world, our faith. Who is
he that overcometh the world,
but he that believeth that
Jesus is the Son of God?
This is He that came by
water and blood, Jesus Christ;
not by water only, but by
water and blood. And it is the
spirit which testifieth that
Christ is the truth. And there
are three who give testimony
in heaven; the Father, the
Word, and the Holy Ghost: and
these three are one. And there
are three that give testimony
on earth; the spirit, the water,
and the blood: and these three
are one. If we receive the tes-
timony of men, the testimony
of God is greater: for this is
the testimony of God which is
greater, because He hath tes-
tified of His Son. He that be-

lieveth in the Son of God hath in

the testimony of God in him-
self.

8 Continuation of the holy
Gospel according to St. John.

T THAT lime, when it was

late that same day, the

t of the week, and the doors
were shut, where the disciples
were gathered together, for
fear of the Jews, Jesus came,
and stood in the midst, and
said to them, Peace be to you.
And when He had said this, He
showed them His hands and
His side. The disciples there-
fore were glad, when they saw
ihe Lord. He said therefore ta
them again, Peace be to you:
as the Father hath sent Me,
I also send you. When He had
said this, He breathed on them;
and He said to them, Receive
ye the Holy Ghost: whose sins
you shall forgive, they are for-
given them, and whose sins you
shall retain, they are retained.
Now Thomas, one of the
twelve, who is called Didymus,
was not with them, when Jesus
came. The other disciples
therefore said to him, We have
seen the Lord. But he said to
them, Except‘T'see in His hands
the print of the nails, and put
my finger into the place of the
nails, and put my hand into
His side, I will not believe.
And after eight days, again His
disciples were within, and
Thomas with them, Jesus com-
eth, the doors being shut, and
stood in the midst, and said,
Peace. be to you. Then He said
to Thomas, Put in thy finger
hither, and see My hands, and
bring hither thy hand, and put
it into My side; and be not
faithless, but believing.
Thomas answered, and said to

Him, My Lord, and my God.
Jesus saith to him, Because
thou hast seen Me, Thomas,
thou hast believed: blessed are
they that have not seen, and
have believed. Many other
signs also did Jesus in the sight
of His disciples, which are not
written in this book. But these

not, seeth the wolf coming, and
leaveth the sheep, and fiieth;
and the wolf catcheth, and
scattereth the sheep: and the
hireling flieth because he is a
hireling, and he bath no care
for the sheep. I am the good
Shepherd; and I know Mine,
and Mine know Me. As the
Father knoweth Me, and I
know the Father, and I lay
down My life for My sheep.
And other sheep I have, that
are not of this fold; them also
I must bring, and they shall
hear My voice, and there shall
be one fold, and one shepherd.

EARLY beloved, I beseech

you as strangers and pil-

from carnal desires which war
against the soul, having your
conversation good among the
gentiles: that whereas they
speak against you as evil-do-
ers, they may by the good
works, which they shall behold
in you, glorify God in the day
of visitation. Be ye subject
therefore to every human crea-
ture for God’s sake: whether
it be to the king as excelling:
or to governors as sent by him
for the punishment of evil-
doers, and for the praise of
the. good: for so is the will of
God, that by .doing -well you
may put to silence the ignor-
ance of foolish men. As free,
and not as making liberty a
cloak for malice, but as the
servants of God. Honor all
men. Love the brotherhood.
Fear God. Honor the king. Ser-
vants, be subject to your
masters with all fear, not only
to the good and gentle, but also
to the froward. For this is
thankworthy in Christ Jesus
our Lord.

He said to them, Of this do

say to you, that you shall la-

labor hath sorrow, because her
hour is come; but when she
hath brought forth the child,
she remembereth no more the
anguish, for joy that a.man is

vince the world of sin, and of
justice, and of judgment. Of
sin, because they believed not
in Me; and of justice, because
I go to the Father, and you
shall see Me no longer; and of
judgment, because the prince
of this world is already judged.
I have yet many things to say
to you, but you cannot bear
them now; but when He, the
Spirit of truth, is come, He will
teach you all truth; for He
shall not speak of Himself;
but what things soever He shall
hear, He shall speak, and the
things that are to come He
shall show you. He shall glorify
Me because He shall receive of
Mine, and shall show it to you.

EaRLY beloved, Be ye do-

hearers only, deceiving your
own selves. For if a man be
a hearer of the word, and not
& doer, he shall be compared
to & man beholding his own
countenance in a glass. For he
beheld bimself, and went his
way, and presently forgot
what manner of man he was.
But he that hath looked into
the perfect law of liberty and
hath continued therein, not
becoming a forgetful hearer,
but a doer of the work, this
man shall be blessed in his
deed. And if any man think
himself to be religious, not
bridling his tongue, but deceiv-
ing his own heart, this man’s
religion is vain. Religion clean
and undefiled before God. and
the Father is this: to visit the
fatherless and widows in their
tribulation, and to keep one’s
self unspotted from this world.

to His disciples, Amen,
amen I say to you, if you ask
the Father anything in My
name, He will give it you.
Hitherto you have not asked
anything in My name: ask and
you shall receive, that your joy
may be full. These things I
have spoken to you in pro-
verbs: the hour cometh when I
will no more speak to you in
proverbs, but will show you
plainly of the Father. In that
day, you shall ask in My name;
and I say not to you that I
will ask the Father for you, for
the Father Himself loveth you,
because you have loved Me, and
have believed that I came out
from God. I came forth from
the Father, and am come into
the world: again I leave the
world, and go to the Father.
His disciples say to Him, Be-
hold, now Thou speakest
plainly, and speakest no pro-
verb. Now we know that Thou
knowest all things, and Thou

needest not that any man should ask Thee: by this we believe
that Thou camest forth from God.

saith, Ascending on high, He
led captivity captive; He gave
gifts to men. Now, that He
ascended, what is it, but be-
cause He also descended first
into the lower parts of the
earth? He that descended is
the same also that ascended
above all the heavens, that He
might fill all things, And He
gave some apostles, and some
prophets, and other some evan-
gelists, and other some pastors
and doctors, for the perfecting
of the saints, for the work of
the ministry, for the edifying
of the body of Christ; until we
all meet into the unity of faith,
and of the knowledge of the
Son of God, unto a perfect man,
unto the measure of the age of
the fulness of Christ,

Privileged Vigil of the First Class

On this Saturday before Whitsunday the ceremonies are
Similar to those on Holy Saturday. The holy water font is
blessed and the Litany of the Saints sung exactly as on Holy
Saturday; afterwards the clergy change their purple or violet-
hued vestments for others of red, assigned to Masses of the
Holy Ghost, in allusion to the fiery tongues of Pentecost. As
on Holy Saturday, the Introit is omitted from the high Mass
a Wit Re and the church bells are rung at the Gloria

Before high Mass the officiating priest, attended by his
deacon and subdeacon, vested in purple chasubles, the altar-
candles remaining unlighted, reads six prophecies of those
which were read on Holy Saturday. At the end of each he
chants a Prayer. But after the word Oremus (“Let us pray")
the deacon does not say Flectamus genua (“Let us kneel").

4 Continuation of the holy
Gospel according to St. John. -

T THAT time, Jesus said

to the pharisees, Amen,
amen, I say to you, he that en-
tereth not by the door into the
sheepfold, but climbeth up an-
other way, the same is a thief
and & robber. But he that en-
tereth in by the door is the
shepherd of the sheep. 'To him
the porter openeth, and the
sheep hear his voice, and he
calleth his own sheep by name,
and leadeth them out. And
when he hath let out his own
sheep, he goeth before them;
and the sheep follow him, be-
cause they know his voice; but
a stranger they follow not, but
fly from him, because they
know not the voice of strangers.
This proverb Jesus spoke to
them: but they understood not
what He spoke to them. Jesus
therefore said to them again,
Amen, amen, I say to you, I
am the door of the sheep. All
others, as many as have come,
are thieves and robbers; and
the sheep hear them not. Iam
the door. By Me if any man
enter in, he shall be saved; and

Salem, and the power of the
Lord was to heal them. And
behold men brought in a bed
& man who had the palsy, and
they sought means to bring him
1n, and to lay him before Him;
and when they could not find
by what way they might bring
him in, because of the multi-
tude, they went up upon the
roof, and let him down through
the tiles with his bed into the
midst before Jesus, And when
He saw their faith, He said,
Man, thy sins are forgiven thee:
and the scribes and pharisees
began to think, saying, Who is
this who speaketh blasphemies?
Who can forgive sins, but God
atone? And when Jesus knew
their thoughts, answering, He
saith to them, What is it you
think in your hearts? Which is
easier to say? Thy sins are
forgiven thee, or to say, Arise
and walk? But that you may
know that the Son of man hath
power on earth to forgive sins
(He saith to the sick of the
palsy), I say to thee, Arise, take
up thy bed, and go into thy
house. And immediately rising
up before them, he took up the
bed on which he lay and he
went away to his own house,
glorifying God. And all were
astonished, and they glorified
God; and they were filled with
fear, saying, We have seen won-
derful things today.

Speak to the children of Israel,
and thou shalt say to them,
When you shall have entered
into the land which Y will give
you, and shall reap your corn,
you shall bring sheaves of ears,
the first-fruits of your harvest,
to the priests, who shall lift up
ihe sheaf before the Lord, the
next day after the sabbath, that
it may be acceptable for you,
and shall sanctify it.. You shall
count therefore from the mor-
row after the sabbath, wherein
you offered the sheaf of the
first-fruits, seven full weeks,
even unto the morrow after the
seventh week to be expired,
that is to say, fifty days; and so
you shall offer a new sacrifice
to the Lord, out of all your
dwellings, two loaves of the
first-fruits, of two tenths of
flour leavened, which you shall
bake for the first-fruits of the
Lord. And you shall call this
day most solemn and most holy.
You shall do no servile work
therein. It shall be an ever-
lasting ordinance in all your
dwellings and generations; said
the Lord almighty.

choose, that His name may be

go to the priest that shall be

I profess this day before the
Lord thy God, Who heard us,
and looked down upon our at-
fliction, and labor, and dis-
tress; and brought us out of
Egypt with a strong hand, and
a stretched-out arm, with great
terror, with signs and wonders,
and brought us into this place,
and gave us this land flowing
with milk and honey. And
therefore now I offer the first-
fruits of the land which the
Lord hath given me. And thou

to His disciples, Be ye
merciful, as your Father also
is merciful. Judge not, and you
shall not be judged. Condemn

them a similitude: Can the
blind lead the blind? do they
not both fall into the ditch?
The disciple is not above his

perfect, if he be as his master.

Seen God at any time. If we
love one another, God abideth
in us, and His charity is per-
fected in us. In this we know

us of His spirit, And we have
Seen, and do testify, that the
Father hath sent His Son to be
the Saviour of the World.
Whosoever shall confess that
Jesus is the Son of God, God
abideth in Him, and he in
God. And we have known, and
have believed the charity which
God hath to us. God is charity:
and he that abideth in charity
abideth in God, and God in
him. In this is the charity of
God perfected with us, that we
may have confidence in the
day of judgment: because, as
He is, we also are in the world,
Fear is not in charity, but per-
fect charity casteth out fear:
because fear hath pain; and
he that feareth is not perfected
in charity. Let us therefore
love God, because God first
hath loved us. If any man say,
I love God, and hateth his
brother, he is a liar. For he
that loveth not his brother

RETHREN, I have received
B of the Lord, that which
also I delivered to you, that
the Lord Jesus, the same night
in which He was betrayed, took
bread, and giving thanks,
broke, and said, Take ye and
eat; this is My body which
shall be delivered for you; this
do for the commemoration of
Me. In like manner also the
chalice, after He had supped,
saying, This chalice is the new
testament in My blood; this do
ye, as often as you shall drink,

For as often as you shall eat
this bread, and drink this
chalice, you Shall show the
death of the Lord until He
come. Therefore whosoever
shall eat this bread, or drink
of the chalice of the -Lord un-
worthily, shall be guilty of the
body and of the blood of the
Lord. But let a man prove him-
self; and so Jet him eat of that
bread, and drink of the chalice.
For he that eateth and drink-
eth unworthily, eateth and
drinketh judgment to himself,
not discerning the body of the
Lord.

Goes this day before us out;

Which, His holy supper taking,

To the brethren twelve His
breaking

None hath ever called in doubt.

Ful, then, be our praise and
sounding,

Modest and with joy abound-

. ing

Be our mind's triumphant
state;

For the festal’s prosecution, .

When the first blest institution

Of this feast we celebrate.

In the new king's new libation,

In the new law's new oblation,

Ends the ancient paschal rite;

Ancient forms new substance
chaseth,

Typic shadows truth displac-
eth,

Day dispels the gloom of night.

What He did at supper seated,

Christ enjoined to be repeated,

When His love we celebrate:

Thus, obeying His dictation,

Blood and wine of our salva-
tion,

We the victim consecrate.

"Tis for Christian faith assert-
ed,

Bread is into flesh converted,

Into blood the holy wine:

Sight and intellect transcend-
ing,

Nature’s laws to marvel bend-

ing, :
"Tis confirmed by faith divine.
Under either kind remaining,

Form, not substance, still re-
taining.

Wondrous things our spirit
sees:

Flesh and blood thy palate
staining,

Yet still Christ entire remain-
ing,

Under either species.

All untorn for eating given,

Undivided and unriven,

Whole He’s taken and unrent;

Be there one, or crowds sur-
rounding,

He is equally abounding,

Nor, though eaten, ever spent.

Both to good and bad ’tis
broken,

But on each a different token

Or of life, or death attends:

Life to.good, to bad damnation;

Lo, of one same manducation

How dissimilar the ends.

When the priest the victim
breaketh,

See thy faith in nowise shak-
eth,

Know that every fragment tak-
eth

All that 'neath the whole there
lies:

This in Him no fracture mak-
eth:

"Tis the figure only breaketh,

Form, or state, no change there
taketh

Place in what it signifies.

Bread, that angels eat in

. heaven,

Now becomes the pilgrim’s
leaven,

Bread in truth to children
given,

That must ne’er to dogs be
"thrown.

which was lost, until he find it?
And when he hath found it,

bors, saying to them, Rejoice
with me, because I have found
my sheep that was lost? I say
to you, that even so there shall
be joy in heaven upon one sin-
ner that doth penance, more
than upon ninety-nine just who
need not penance. Or what

for the revelation of the sons
of God. for the creature was

willingly, but by reason of him
that made it subject in hope;
because the creature also it-
self shall be delivered from the

that every creature groaneth,
and travaileth in pain, even till

T THAT time, when the
multitude pressed upon

Jesus to hear the word of God,
He stood by the lake of Gene-
sareth. And He saw two ships
standing by the lake; but the
fishermen were gone out of
them, and were washing their
nets; and going up into one of
the ships that was Simon’s, He
aosired him to draw back a lit-
tle from the land: and sitting
He taught the multitudes out
of the ship. Now when He had
ceased to speak, He said to Si-
mon, Launch out into the deep,
and let down your nets for a
draught. And Simon, answer-
ing, said to Him, Master, we
have labored ail 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 gréat mul-
titude 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 sink-

Epistle. Rom. 6, 3-11

Lesson from the Epistle of
blessed Paul the Apostle to the
Romans. E

RETHREN, all we who are

baptized in Christ Jesus
are baptized in His death. For
we are buried together with
Him by. baptism unto death;
that as Christ is risen from the
dead by the glory of the Father,
so we also may walk in new-
ness of life. For if we have been
planted together in the likeness
of His death, we shall also be
in the likeness of His resurrec-
tion. Knowing this, that our
old man is crucified with Him,
that the body of sin may be de-
stroyed, and that we may serve
sin no longer. For He that is
dead is justified from sin. Now
if we be dead with Christ, we
believe that we shall live also
together. with Christ. Knowing
that Christ, rising again from
the dead, dieth now no more,
death shail no more. have do-
minion over Him. For in that
He died to sin He died once;
but in that He liveth, He liveth
unto God. So do you also reckon
yourselves to be dead indeed to
sin, but alive to God; in Christ
Jesus our Lord.

RETHREN, I speak a human

you have yielded your members
to serve uncleanness and in-
iquity unto iniquity, so now
yield your members to serve
justice, unto sanctification. For
when you were the servants of
sin, you were free from justice.
What fruit therefore had you
then in those things, of which
you are now ashamed? For the
end of them is death. But now
being made free from sin, and
become servants to God, you
have your fruit unto sanctifica-
tion, and the end life everlast-
ing. For the wages of sin is
death. But the grace of God,
life everlasting; in Christ Jesus

let us tempt Christ, as some of

murmur, as some of them mur-

the destroyer. Now all these
things happened to them in fig-

our correction, upon whom the
ends of the world are come.

himself to stand, let him take

faithful, Who will not suffer
you to be tempted above that
which you are able; but will

I give you to understand, that
no.man speaking by the Spirit
of God, saith Anathema to Jesus;
and no man can say, The. Lord
Jesus, but by the Holy Ghost.
Now. there are diversities of
graces, but the same. Spirit;
and there are diversities of
ministries, but the same Lord;
and there are diversities of op-
erations, but the same God,
Who worketh all in all. And the
manifestation of the Spirit is
given to every man unto ewe
To one indeed, by the Spirit, is
given the word of. wisdom; and
to another, the word of knowl-
edge, according to the same
Spirit; to anotber, the grace of
healing in one Spirit; to an-
other, the working of miracles;
to another, prophecy; to an-
other the discerning of spirits;
to another, divers kinds of
tongues; to another, interpre-

Worketh, dividing to every one

T THAT lime, Jesus spoke
this parable to some who
trusted in themselves as just,
and despised others: Two men
went up into the temple to
pray; the one was a pharisee,
and the other a publican. The
pharisee standing, prayed thus
with himself: O God, I give
Thee thanks that I am not as
the rest of men, extortioners,
unjust, adulterers; as also is
this publican. I fast twice in
the week; I give tithes of all
that I possess. And the publi-
can standing afar off, would not
so much as lift up his eyes to-
wards heaven, but struck his
breast, saying, O God, be mer-
ciful to me a sinner, I say to
you, this man went down to
his house justified rather than
the other: because every one
that exalteth himself shall be
humbled, and he that humbleth
himself shall be exated.

sufficient to think any thing of
ourselves, as of ourselves; but
our sufficiency is from God.
Who also hath made us fit min-
isters of the new testament, not
in the letter, but in the spirit:
for the letter killeth, but the
spirit quickeneth. Now if the
ministration of death, engraven
with letters upon stones, was
glorious, so that the children of
Israel could not steadfastly be-
hold the face of Moses, for the

is made void: how shall not the
ministration of the spirit be
rather in glory? For if the min-
istration of condemnation be
glory, much more the ministra-
‘tion of justice aboundeth in
glory.

himself, said to Jesus, And who
is my neighbor? And Jesus an-
Swering said, A certain man
went down from Jerusalem to
Jericho, and fell among robbers,
who also stripped-him, and
having wounded him, went
away, leaving him half dead:

and it chanced that a certain
priest went down the same way,
and seeing him, passed by, In
like manner also a levite, when
he was near the place and saw

him, passed by. But a certain

Samaritan being on his jour-
ney, came near him, and seeing
him, was moved with compas-
sion; and going up to him,
bound up his wounds, pouring
in oil and wine; and, setting
him upon his own beast,
brought him to an inn, and
took care of him: and the next
day he took out two pence, and
gave to the host, and said, Take
care of him, and whatsoever
thou shalt spend over and
above, I, at my return, will re-
pay thee. Which of these three,
in thy opinion, was neighbor
to him that fell among robbers?
But he said, He that showed
mercy to him, And Jesus said
to him, Go, and do thou in like

Lesson from the Epistle of

Galatians.

RETHREN, To Abraham
were the promises made,

and to his seed. He saith not,
And to his seeds, as of many;
but as of one, And to thy seed,
which is Christ. Now this I
say, that the testament whick
was confirmed by God, the lav
which was made after four
hundred and thirty years, doth
not disannul; to make the
promise of no effect. For if the
inheritance be of the law, it is
no more of promise. Why then
was the law? It was set be-
cause of transgressions, until
the seed should come, to whom
He made the promise: being or-
dained by angels in the hand
of a mediator. Now a mediator
is not of one: but God is one.
Was the law then against the

promises of God? God forbid.
For if there had been a law
given, which could give life,
verily justice should have been
by the law. But the Scripture
hath concluded all under sin,
that the promise by the faith of
Jesus Christ might be given to
them that believe.

Behold the birds of the air; for
they neither sow, nor do they
reap, nor gather into barns, and
your heavenly Father feedeth
them. Are not you of much
more value than they? And
which of you, by taking
thought, can add to his stature
one cubit? And for raiment
why are you solicitous? Con-
sider the lilies of the field, how
they grow; they labor not,
neither do they spin; but I say
to you, that not even Solomon
in all his glory was arrayed as
one of these. Now if God so
clothe the grass of the field,
which is to-day, and to-morrow
is cast into the oven, how much
more you, O ye of little faith!
Be not solicitous therefore, say-

Lesson from the Epistle of
blessed Patil the Apostle to the
Galatians. l

RETHREN, if we live in the

spirit, let us also walk in
the spirit. Let us not be made
desirous of vainglory, provok-
ing one another, envying one
another. Brethren, and if a
man be overtaken in any fault,
you, who are spiritual, instruct
such a one in the spirit of
meekness, considering thyself,
lest thou also be tempted. Bear
ye one another’s burdens, and
so you shall fulfil the law of
Christ. For if any man think
himself to be something,
whereas he is nothing, he de-
ceiveth himself. But let every
one prove his own work, and so
he shall have glory in himself
only, and not in another. For
every one shall bear his own
burden: And let him that is
instructed in the word, com-
municate to him that instruct-
eth him, in all good things. Be
not deceived; God is not
mocked: for what things a man
shall sow, those also shall he
reap. For he that soweth in his
flesh, of the flesh also shall reap
corruption: but he that soweth
in the spirit, of the spirit shall
reap life everlasting. And in
doing good, let us not fail; for
in due time we shall reap, not
failing. Therefore, whilst we

“N THOSE days, all the people

were gathered together as
one man, to the street which is
before the water-gate, and they
spoke to Esdras the scribe, to
bring the book of the law of
Moses, which the Lord had
commanded to Israel. Then
Esdras the priest brought the
law before the multiude of men
and women, and all those that
could understand, on the first
day of the seventh month. And
he read it plainly in the street
that was before the water-gate,
from the morning until mid-
day. before the men and wo-
men, and all those that could
understand; and the ears of
all the people were attentive
to the book. And Esdras the
scribe stood upon a step of
wood, which he made..to speak
upon. And he opened the book
before all the people, for he was
above all the people; and when

he had opened it, all the people
stood. And Esdras blessed the
Lord the great God, and all the
people answered, Amen, Amen,
lifting up their hands; and they
bowed down, and adored God,
with their faces to thé ground.
Now ihe levites made silence
among the people to hear the
law; and the people stood in
their place: and they read in
the book of the law of God dis-
tinetly and plainly to be under-
stood; and they understood
when it was read. And Nehe-
mias, and Esdras, the priest
and scribe, and the levites who
interpreted to all the people,
said, This is a holy day to the
Lord our God: do not mourn
nor weep. And he said to them,
Go, eat fat meats, and drink
sweet wine, and send portions
to them that have not prepared
for themselves; - because it is
the holy day of the Lord, and
be not sad, for the joy of the
Lord is our strength.

this happened unto him? But
he said, From his infancy: and
oftentimes hath he cast him
into the fire and into the waters
to destroy him. But if Thou
canst do anything, help us,
having compassion on us. And
Jesus saith to him, If thou
canst believe, all things are
possible to him that believeth.
And immediately the father of
the boy crying out, with tears,
said, I do believe, Lord; help
my unbelief. And when Jesus
saw the multitude running to-

Deaf and dumb spirit, I com-

enter not any more into bim:
and crying out and greatly tear-

and he became as dead, so that
many said, He is dead. But
Jesus taking him by the hand,
lifted him up, and he arose.
And when He was come into the

asked Him, Why could not we
cast him out? And He said to

this is that toucheth Him, that
she is a.sinner. And Jesus an-

but he.said, Master, say it. A
certain creditor had two debt-
ors, the one owed five hundred
pence, and the other fifty. And
whereas they had not where-
with to pay, he forgave them
both. Which therefore of the
two loveth him most? Simon
answering, said, I suppose that
he, to whom he forgave most.
And He said to him, Thou hast
judged rightly. And turning to
the women, He said unto Simon,
Dost thou see this woman? I
entered into thy house: thou
gavest Me no water for My feet;
but she with tears hath washed
My feet, and with her hair hath
wiped them. Thou gavest Me
no kiss; but she, since she came
in, hath not ceased to kiss My
feet. My head with oil thou
didst not anoint; but she with
ointment hath anointed My
feet. Wherefore I say to thee,
Many sins are forgiven her, be-
cause she hath loved much:

loveth less. And He said to her,
Thy sins are forgiven thee. And

Who is this that forgiveth sins

Lesson from the Epistle of
blessed Paul the Apostle to the
Hebrews.

RETHREN, There was a tab-
ernacle made the first,
wherein were the candlesticks,
and the table, and the setting
forth of loaves, which is called
the Holy. And after the second
veil, the tabernacle which is
called the Holy of Holies, hav-
ing the golden censer, and the
ark of the testament covered
about on every part with gold,
in which was a golden pot that
had manna, and the rod of
Aaron that had blossomed, and
the tables of the testament, and
over it were the cherubims of
glory overshadowing the propi-
tiary: of which it is not needful
to speak now particularly.
Now these things being thus
ordered; into the first taber-
nacle the priests indeed always
entered, accomplishing the offi-
ces of sacrifices. But into the
Second the high priest alone,
once a year, not without blood,
which he offereth for his own
and the people's ignorance; the
Holy Ghost signifying this, that
the way into the Holies was not
yet made manifest, whilst the
former tabernacle was yet
standing: which is a parable
of the time present, according

T THAT time, There was a

having heard that Jesus was
come from Judea into Galilee,
went to Him, and prayed Him
to come down, and heal his son;
for he was at the point of death.
Jesus therefore said to him, Un-
less you see signs and wonders,
you believe not. The ruler saith
to Him, Lord, come down before
that my son die. Jesus saith to
him, Go thy way, thy son liveth.
The man believed the word
which Jesus said to him, and
went his way. And as he was
going down, his servants met
him, and they brought word,
saying, that his son lived. He
asked therefore of them the
hour wherein he grew better.
And they said to him, yester-
day at the seventh hour the
fever left him. The father
therefore knew that it was at
the same hour that Jesus said
to him, Thy son liveth; and

T THAT time, Jesus spoke

to His disciples this par-

&ble: The kingdom of heaven
is likened to a king, who would
take an account of his servants.
And when he had begun to take
the account, one was brought to
him that owed him ten thou-
sand talents: and as he had not
wherewith to pay it, his lord
commanded that he should be
sold, and his wife and children,
and all that he had, and pay-
ment to be made. But that ser-
vant falling down, besought
him, saying, Have patience with
me, and I will pay thee all. And
the lord of that servant, being
moved with pity, let him go;
and forgave him the debt. But
when that servant was gone out,
he found one of his fellow-
servants that owed him a hun-
dred pence: and laying hold of
him, he throttled him, saying,
Pay what thou owest. And his
fellow-servant falling down be-
sought him, saying, Have pa-
tience with me, and I will pay
thee all. And he would not; but
went and cast him into prison
till he paid the debt. Now his
fellow-servants, seeing what
was done, were very much
grieved; and they came and told
their lord all that was done.
Then his lord called him, and

*B Continuation of the holy
Gospel according to St. Mat-
ihew.

T THAT time, Jesus said

to His disciples, When
you shall see the abomination
of desolation, which was spoken
of by Daniel the prophet,
standing in the holy place; he
that readeth, let him under-
stand: then they that are in
Judea, let them flee to the
mountains; and he that is on
the house-top, let him not come
down to take anything out of
his house; and he that is in
the field, let him not go back
to take his coat. And woe to
them that are with child, and
that give suck, in those days.
But pray that your flight be
not in the winter, or on the
sabbath: for there shall be
then great tribulation, such as
has not been found from the
beginning of the world until
now, neither shall be: and un-
less those days had been short-
ened, no flesh. should be saved;
but for the sake of the elect,
those days shall be shortened.
Then if any man shall say to
you, Lo, here is Christ, or
there; do not believe Him: for
there shall arise false Christs
and false prophets, and shall
show great signs and wonders,
insomuch as to deceive (if pos-
sible) even the elect. Behold,

then shall appear the sign of
the Son of man in heaven, and
then shall all the tribes of the

they shall gather together His

Why are ye fearful, O ye of

commanded the winds and the

calm. But the men wondered,
saying, What manner of man is

obey Him?

THE COMMUNION

791

Holding the Sacred Host in his right hand the priest
makes the sign of the cross with it and says:

ORPUS Dómini nos-

tri Jesu Christi cus-
tódiat ánimam meam in
vitam ætérnam. Amen.

AY the Body of Our

Lord Jesus Christ

keep my soul unto life ever-
lasting. Amen.

The priest receives Holy Communion and after a brief

meditation continues:

UID retribuam Dó-

mino pro ómnibus
quae retribuit mihi? Cáli-
cem salutáris accípiam,
et nomen Dómini invocá-
bo. Laudans invocábo

HAT shall I render

unto the Lord for all
the things that He hath
rendered unto me? I will
take the chalice of salva-
tion and will call upon the
name of the Lord. With
high praises will I call upon
the Lord, and I shall be
saved from all mine ene-
mies.

The priest takes the chalice in his right hand and makes

the sign of tbe cross, saying:

ANGUIS Dómini nos-

tri Jesu Christi cus-
tódiat ánimam meam in
vitam extérnam. Amen.

AY the Blood of Our

Lord Jesus Christ

keep my soul unto life ever-
lasting. Amen.

Here Holy Communion is administered to those of the faithful

who desire to receive It. In the name of the communicants who
kneel at the sanctuary rails the acolytes recite the Confiteor as
found on page 758, the priest responding with the Misereator and
the Indulgentiam. Facing the people with the Ciborium and
holding up one of the Sacred Particles before the communicants
the priest says:

CCE Agnus Dei, ecce
Qui tollit peccata
mundi.

EHOLD the Lamb of God,
ehold Him who taketh
away the sins of the world.
Then he says three times:

OMINE, non sum ORD, Iam not worthy that

tectum meum: sed tantum my roof, but only say the word

The Communion
The priest at the Epistle side recites the Communion , which

will be found in its proper place in each Mass, then returning to
the middle of the altar, he faces the people, saying:

P The Lord be with you. P Dominus vobiscum.
R. And with thy spirit. . R.Et cum spiritu tuo.

‘At Solemn High Mass the subdeacon takes the chalice from
the celebrani for cleansing. Then he arranges the coverings and
removes the chalice to the credence table.

THE POSTCOMMUNION 4798

* The Postcommunion

Going to the Epistle side he says the prayers called Post-
communions. They correspond to the Prayers and Secrets
already read, and are to be found in their proper places m
the Missal..

Then the priest going back to the middle kisses the altar,
&nd turning toward the people says:

P. Dóminus vobiscum. P. The Lord be with you.
HB. Et cum spíritu tuo. RY. And with thy spirit.

Should the Mass be one in which the Gloria in excelsis
is omitted, then, in place of Ite, missa est, the priest says or
sings Benedicamus Domino (Let us bless the Lord). But. in
Masses for the dead is substituted the prayer, Requiescant
Am pace (May they rest in peace), to which is answered,

The Blessing

In Masses for the dead the blessing is not given.

The priest kisses the altar, and at the word “Pater” turns
toward the people, and blesses them, saying:

The priest now goes to the Gospel side of the altar; he
makes the sign of the cross. first upon the altar, and then
upon his forehead, lips, and heart, and reads a passage from
the Gospel—as a rule, the first verses of that according to
St. John, as below. But if because of the occurrence of a
festival day, the Gospel proper to a Sunday has not been
read in its proper place, it must be read here. In this case
he signs the book, not the altar.

Lesson from the Book of

Wisdom.

HE blessing of the Lord

was upon the head of the
just man. Therefore the Lord
gave him an inheritance, and
divided him his portion in
twelve tribes: and he found
grace in the eyes of all flesh.
He magnified him in the fear
of his enemies, and with his
words He made prodigies to
cease. He glorified him in the
sight of kings, and gave him
commandments in the sight of
his people, and showed him
His glory. He sanctified him in
his faith and meekness, and
chose him out of all flesh. And
He gave him commandments
before His face, and a law of
life and instruction: and He
exalted him, He made an ever-
lasting covenant with him, and
girded him about with a girdie

of justice: and the Lord crowned him with a crown of glory.

Gradual. Ps. 138, 17, 18

Nimis honoráti sunt amíci

Gospel.
®© Continuation of the holy
Gospel according to St. John.

T THAT time, John stood,
and two of his disciples:

&nd beholding Jesus walking,

he gaith, Behold the Lamb of
God. And the two disciples
heard him speak, and they fol-
lowed Jesus. And Jesus turn-
ing, and seeing them following
Him, He saith to them, What

seek you? Who said to Him,

Rabbi (which is to say, being
interpreted, Master), where
dwellest Thou? He saith to
them, Come, and see. They
came, and saw where He abode,
and they stayed with Him that

day: now it was about the

tenth hour. And Andrew, the
brother of Simon Peter, was
one of the two who had heard
of John, and followed him. He
findeth first his brother Simon,
and saith to him, We have
found the Messias (which is,
being interpreted, the Christ).
And he brought him to Jesus;
and Jesus, looking upon him,
said, Thou art Simon, the son
of Jona; thou shalt be called
Cephas, which is interpreted,
Peter. On the following day,
He would go forth into Galilee:
and He findeth Philip. And Je-
sus saith to him, Follow Me.
Now Philip was of Bethsaida,
the city of Andrew and Peter.
Philip findeth Nathanel, and
saith to him, We have found
Him of Whom Moses in the
law and the prophets did write,
Jesus, the son of Joseph of
Nazareth. And Nathanzl saith
to bim, Can anything of good
come from Nazareth? Philip
saith to him, Come, and see.

shall be saved. How then shall
they call on Him in Whom they
have not believed? or how
shall they believe Him of
Whom they have not heard?
and how shall they hear, with-
out a preacher? and how shall
they preach, unless they be

beautiful are the feet of them
that preach the gospel of peace,
of them that bring glad tid-

not obey the gospel. For Isaias
saith, Lord, who hath believed
our report? Faith, then, cometh
by hearing; and hearing by the
word of Christ. But I say, Have
they not heard? Yea, verily,
their sound hath gone forth

Lesson from the Epistle of

RETHREN, remember your

prelates who have spoken
the word of God to you: whose
faith follow, considering the
end of their conversation. Je-
sus Christ yesterday, and to-
day, and the same forever. Be
not led away with various and
strange doctrines: for it is best
that the heart be established
with grace; not with meats,
which have not profited those
that walk in them. We have an
altar, whereof they have no
power to eat who serve the
tabernacle. For the bodies of
those beasts, whose blood is
brought into the Holies by the
high priest for sin, are burned
without the camp. Wherefore
Jesus also, that He might sanc-
tify the people by His own
blood, suffered without the
gate. Let us go forth therefore
to Him without the camp,
bearing His reproach: for we
have not here a lasting city,
but we seek one that is to come.
By Him therefore let us offer
the sacrifice of praise always
to God, that is to say, the fruit
of lips confessing to His name.
And do not forget to do good

and may be found in Him, not
having my justice, which is of
the law, but that which is of
the faith of Christ Jesus, which
is of God, justice in faith; that
I may know Him, and the power
of His resurrection, and the
fellowship: of His sufferings;
being made conformable to
His death, if by any means I
may attain to the resurrection
which is from the dead; not as
though I had already attained,

means apprehend wherein I am
also apprehended by -Christ

letters to Damascus, to the syn-

And He said, I am Jesus of

kick against the goad. And he
trembling and astonished, said,
Lord, what wilt Thou have me
to do? And the Lord said to
him, Arise, and go into the city,
and there it shall be told thee
what thou must do. Now the
men who went in company with
him stood amazed, hearing in-
deed a voice, but seeing no man.
And Saul arose from the
ground, and when his eyes were
opened, he saw nothing. But
they leading him by the hand,
brought him to Damascus. And
he was there three days without
sight; and he did neither eat
nor drink. Now there was 2 cer-

said to him in a vision, Ananias.
And he said, Behold I am here,

camest, that thou mayest re-

with the Holy Ghost. And im-

eyes as it were scales, and.he
received his sight; and rising
up he was baptized. And. when
he had taken meat, he was
strengthened. And he was with
the disciples that were at Da-
mascus for some days. And im-
mediately he preached Jesus in
the synagogues, that He is the
Son of God. And all that heard
him were astonished, and said,
Is not this he who persecuted
in Jerusalem those who called
upon this name: and came
hither for that intent, that he
might carry them bound to the

chief priest? But Saul increased much more in strength, and
confounded the Jews who dwelt in Damascus, affirming that

this is the Christ.

wherefore did he kill him? Be-
cause his own works were
wicked, and his brother’s just.
Wonder not, brethren, if the
world hate you. We know that
we have passed from death to
life, because we love the breth-
ren. He that loveth not, abid-
eth in death, Whosoever hateth
his brother is a murderer. And
you know that no murderer
hath eternal life abiding in
himself. In this we have known
the charity of God, because He
hath laid down His life for us;
and we ought to lay down our
lives for the brethren.

1 John 3, 10-16

Léctio Epistole beati Joán-
nis Apóstoli.
ARÍssIMI: Omnis qui non
est justus, non est ex
Deo, et qui non diligit fratrem
suum: quóniam hzc est an-
nuntiátio, quam audistis ab
inítio, ut diligátis altérutrum.
Non sicut Cain, qui ex ma-
ligno erat, et occídit fratrem
suum. Et propter quid occídit
eum? Quóniam ópera ejus
maligna erant: fratris au-
tem ejus justa. Nolíte mi-
rari, fratres, si odit vos
mundus. Nos scimus quóniam
transláti sumus de morte ad
vitam, quóniam dilígimus
fratres. Qui non díligit, manet
in morte: omnis qui odit fra-
trem suum, homicída est. Et
Scitis, quóniam omnis homi-
cida non habet vitam etér-

In hoc cognóvimus caritátem

the nations that He is the Lord

of the world.

Another Antiphon

Simeon received an answer
from the Holy Ghost, that he
Should not see death until he
had seen the Christ of the Lord;
and when they brought the
Child into the temple he took
Him in his arms, and blessed
God, and said: Now, O Lord,

brought the child Jesus into
the temple, to do in His behalf
according to the custom of the
law, he took Him in his arms.

Hus saith the Lord God,

Behold I send My angel,
and he shall prepare the way
before My face; and presently
the Lord, Whom you seek, and
the angel of the testament,
whom you desire, shall come to
His temple. Behold He cometh,
saith the Lord of hosts; and
who shall be able to think of the
day of His coming? and who
shall stand to see Him? for He
is like a refining fire, and like
the fuller’s herb; and He shall
sit refining and cleansing the
silver, and He shall purify the
sons of Levi, and shall refine
them as gold, and as silver, and
they shall offer sacrifices to
the Lord in justice. And the
sacrifice of Juda and of Jeru-
salem shall please the Lord, as
in the days of old, and in the
ancient years; saith the Lord
almighty. -

flesh, not many mighty, not
many noble: but the foolish
things of the. world hath God
chosen, that He may confound
the wise, and the weak things
of the world hath God chosen,
that He may confound the
strong; &nd the base things of
the world, and the things that
are contemptible hath God
chosen, and things that are not,
that He might bring to nought
things that are: that no flesh
should glory in His sight. But
of Him are you in Christ Jesus,
Who of God is made unto us
wisdom, and justice, and sanc-
tification, and redemption, that
as it is written, he that glori-
eth, may glory in the Lord.

T THAT time the pharisees

came to Jesus tempting
Him, and saying, is it lawful
for & man to put away his wife
for every cause? Who answer-
ing, said to them, Have ye not
read, that He who made man
from the beginning, made them
male and female? And He said,
for this cause shall a man leave
father and mother, and shall
cleave to his wife, and they
two shall be in one flesh.
Therefore now they are not
two, but one flesh. What
therefore God hath joined to-
gether, let no man put asun-
der. They say to Him, Why
then did Moses command to
give & bill of divorce, and to
put away? He said to ther.

because Moses, by reason of the
hardness of your heart, per-
mitted you to put away your
wives; but from the beginning
it was not so. And I say unto
you, that whosoever shall put
away his wife, except it be for
fornication, and shall marry
another, committeth adultery;
and he that shall marry her
that is put away, committeth
adultery. His disciples say unto
Him, if the case of à man with
his wife be so, it is not expe-
dient to marry. Who said to
them, All men take not this
word, but they to whom it is
given; for there are eunuchs
who were born so from their
mother's womb; and there are
eunuchs who were made so by
men; and there are eunuchs

Lesson from Isaias the
Prophet.

LL you that thirst, come

to the waters: and you
that have no money, make
haste, buy and eat. Come ye:
buy wine and milk without
money and without any price.
Why do you spend money for
that which is not.bread and
your labour for that which doth
not satisfy you? Hearken dili-
gently to me and eat that
which is good: and your soul
shall be delighted in fatness.
Incline your ear and come to
me. Hear and your soul shall
live. And I will make an ever-
lasting covenant with you, the
faithful mercies of David. Be-
hold I have given him for a
witness to the people, for a
leader and a master to the
Gentiles. Behold thou shalt call
a nation which thou knewest
not :and the nations that knew
not thee shall run to thee, be-
cause of the Lord thy God, and
for the Holy One of Israel; for
he hath glorified thee. Seek ye
the Lord while he may be
found: call upon him while he
is near. Let the wicked forsake
his way and the unjust man his
thoughts, and let bim return to
the Lord; and he will have

mercy on him: and to our God; £or he is bountiful to forgive.
For my thoughts are not your thoughts: nor your ways my
ways, saith the Lord. For as the heavens are exalted above the
earth, so are my ways exalted above your ways, and my
thoughts above your thoughts.

44 Continuation of the holy
Gospel according to St. Mat-
thew.

T THAT lime Jesus spoke

to his disciples this par-
&ble: The kingdom of heaven is
like unto a treasure hidden in
& field. Which a man having
found, hid it: and for joy
thereof goeth and selleth all
that he hath and buyeth that
field. Again the kingdom of
heaven js like to à merchant
Seeking good pearls. Who, when

“he had found one pearl of great

price, went his way and sold
all that be had and bought it.
Again the kingdom of heaven
is like to a net cast into the sea
and gathering together of all
kind of fishes. Which, when it.
was filled, they drew out: and
sitting by the shore, they chose
out the good into vessels, but
the bad they cast forth. So shall
it be at the end of the world.
The angels shall go out and
shall separate the wicked from
among the just. And shall cast
them into the furnace of fire.
There, shall be weeping and
gnashing of teeth. Have ye un-
derstood all these things? They
say to him: Yes. He said unto
them: Therefore every scribe
instructed in the kingdom of
heaven is like to a man that is
a householder, who bringeth
forth out of his treasure new
things and old.

*H Continuation of the holy
Gospel according to St. Mark.
T THAT lime: 'Ihey of-
fered to Jesus little chil-
Greri, that he should touch
them. But the disciples rebuked
them that offered them. Whom,
when Jesus saw, He was ang-
ered and said to them: Suffer
little children to come to Me,
and forbid them not, for of
such is the Kingdom of God,
Amen I say to you, whosoever
shall not receive the kingdom
of God as a little child, shall
not enter into it. And embrac-
ing them, and laying His hands
upon them. He blessed them.
And when He was gone forth
into the way, a certain man
running up and kneeling be-
fore Him, asked Him, Good
Master, what shall I do that I
may receive life everlasting?
And Jesus said to him, Why
callest thou Me good? None is
good but one, that is God. Thou
knowest the commandments?
Do not commit adultery, do not
kill, do not steal, bear not
false witness, do no fraud,
honour thy father and mother.
But he answering, said to Him:
Master, all these things I have
observed from my youth. And
Jesus looking on him, loved
him, and said to him: One
thing is wanting unto thee: go,
sell whatsoever thou hast, and

give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven; and

come, follow Me.

Lesson from Daniel the
Prophet.
N THOSE days, behold the
man Gabriel, whom I had
seen in the vision at the be-
ginning, flying swiftly, touched
me at the time of the evening
sacrifice. And he instructed me,
and spoke to me and said: O
Daniel, I am now come forth
to teach thee, and that thou
mightest understand. From the
beginning of thy prayers the
word came forth: and I am
come to show it to thee, because
thou art a man of desires,
therefore do thou mark the
word and understand the vision.
Seventy weeks are shortened
upon thy people and upon thy
holy. city, that transgression
may be finished, and sin may
have an end, and iniquity may
be abolished; and everlast-
ing justice may be brought;
and vision and prophecy may
be fulfilled; and the Saint
of saints may be anointed.
Know thou therefore and
take notice that from the go-
ing forth of the word to
build up Jerusalem again, unto
Christ the prince, there shall
be seven weeks, and sixty-two
weeks: and the street shall be
built again, and the walls in
troublesome times. And after
sixty-two weeks Christ shall be

Lesson. 1 Peter 5, 1-4; 10-11

Lesson from the Epistle of
blessed Peter the Apostle.
RETHREN: The ancients
therefore that are
among you, I beseech, who am
myself also an ancient and a
witness of the sufferings of
Christ: as also a partaker of
that glory which is to be re-
vealed, in time to come: Feed
the flock of God which is
&mong you, taking care of it
not by constraint, but willingly
according to God: not for filthy
lucre's sake, but voluntarily:
Neither as lording it over the
clergy, but being made a pat-
tern of the flock, from the
heart. And when the prince of
pastors shall appear, you shall
receive a never-fading crown
of glory. But the God of all
grace, Who hath called us unto
His eternal glory in Christ Je-
sus, after you have suffered a
little, will Himself perfect you,
and confirm you and establish
you, To Him be glory and em-
pire for ever and ever. Amen.

it pleased God by the foolish-

block, and unto the Gentiles
foolishness; but unto them that

Lesson from the Epistle of

"Timothy.

EARLY beloved, be mindful
that the Lord Jesus
Christ is risen again from the
dead, of the seed of David, ac-
cording to my gospel. Wherein
I labor even unto bands, as
an evil-doer: but the word of
God is not bound. Therefore I
endure all things for the sake
of the elect, that they may also
obtain the salvation, which is
in Christ Jesus, with heavenly
glory. But thou hast fully
known my doctrine, manner of
life, purpose; faith, long-suf-
fering, love, patience, persecu-
tions, afflictions, such as came
upon me at Antioch, at Iconi-
um, and at Lystra; what per-
secutions I endured and out of
them all the Lord delivered me.
And all that will live godly in
Jesus: Christ shall suffer perse-
cution.

S Fon the likeness of the

creatures; there was the face
of a man, and the face of a
lion on the right side of all the
four; and the face of an ox on
the left side of all the four; and
the face of an eagle over all the
four. And their faces and their
wings were stretched upward;
two wings of every one were
joined, and two covered their
bodies; and every one of them
went straight forward; whither
the impulse of the spirit was to
£o, thither they went, and they
turned not when they went.
And as for the likeness of the
living creatures, their appear-
ance was like that of burning
coals of fire, and like the ap-

the vision running to and fro
in the midst of the living crea-

Lesson from the Epistle of

Corinthians.

RETHREN, Christ sent me

not to baptize, but to
preach the gospel: not in wis-
dom of speech, lest the cross
of Christ should be made void.
For the word of the cross, to
them indeed that perish, is
foolishness: but to them that
are saved, that is, to us, it is
the power of God. For it is
written: I will destroy the wis-
dom of the wise, and the pru-
dence of the prudent I will
reject. Where is the wise?
Where is the scribe? Where is
the disputer of this world?
Hath not God made foolish the
wisdom of this world? Por see-
ing that in the wisdom of God
the world by wisdom knew not
God, it pleased God by the fool-
ishness of our. preaching to
save them that believe. For
both the Jews require signs,
and the Greeks seek after wis-
dom: But we preach Christ
crucified, unto the Jews in-
deed a stumbling-block, and
unto the Gentiles foolishness;
But unto them that are called,
both Jews and Greeks, Christ

not, I would have told you,
that I go to prepare a place for

Thou goest; and how can we
know the way? Jesus saith to

Me. If you had known Me, you
would without doubt have
known My Father also: and
from henceforth you shall
know Him; and you have seen

Lesson from the Epistle of

For God, Who commanded the
light to shine out of darkness,
hath shined in our hearts, to
give the light of the knowledge

of the glory of God, in the face
of Christ Jesus. But we have
this treasure in earthen ves-
sels, that the excellency may
be of the power of God and not
of us. In all things we suffer
tribulation, but are not dis-
tressed; we are straitened, but
are not destitute; we suffer per-
secution, but are not forsaken;
we are cast down, but we per-
ish not; always bearing about
in our body the mortification
of Jesus, that the life also of
Jesus may be made manifest
in our bodies. For we who live
are always delivered unto death
for Jesus’ sake; that the life
also of Jesus, may be made
manifest in our mortal flesh.
So then death worketh in us,
but life in you. But having the
same spirit of faith, as it is
written, I believed, for which
cause I have spoken, we also
believe, for which cause we
speak also: knowing that He
who raised up Jesus will raise
up us also with Jesus, and place
us with you.

"K Continuation of the Holy
Gospel according to St. Mat-

T THAT time, Jesus said

to His disciples, When
they shall persecute you in this
city, flee to another. Amen, I
say to you, you shall not finish
all the cities of Israel till the
Son of man come. The dis-
ciple is not above the master,
nor the servant above his lord.
It is enough for the disciple
that he be as his master, and
the servant as his lord. If they
have called the good man of
the house Beelzebub, how
much more them of his house-
hold? Therefore fear them
not; for nothing is covered that
shall not be revealed; nor hid
that shall not be known. That
which I tell you in the dark,
speak ye in the light; and that
which you hear in the ear,
preach ye upon the housetops.
And fear ye not them that kill
the body, and are not able to
kill the soul; but rather fear
Him that can destroy both soul
and body into hell.

hath ascended into heaven, but
He that descended from heav-

Lesson from the Acts of

N THOSE days, A great num-

ber of believers at Anti-
och were converted to the
Lord; and the tidings came to
ihe ears of the Church that
was at Jerusalem touching
these things, and they sent
Barnabas as far as Antioch:
Who, when he was come, and
had seen the grace of God,
rejoiced: and he exhorted
them all with purpose of heart
to continue in the Lord: for he
Was a good man, and full of the
Holy Ghost and of faith. And
2 great multitude was added
to the Lord. And Barnabas
went to Tarsus, to seek Saul;
whom, when he had found, he
brought to Antioch. And they
conversed there in the Church
a whole year; and they taught
2 great multitude; so that at
Antioch the disciples were
first named Christians. Now
there were in the Church
which was at Antioch, prophets
and doctors, among whom was
Barnabas, and Simon, who
was called Niger, and Lucius
of Cyrene, and Manahen, who
was the foster-brother of
Herod the tetrarch, and Saul.
And as they were ministering
to the Lord, and fasting, the
Holy Ghost said to them,
Separate me Saul and Barna-
bas, for the work whereunto
I have taken them. Then they

to His disciples, Behold

midst of wolves. Be ye there-
fore wise as serpents, and
simple as doves. But beware of
men; for they will deliver you
up in councils, and they will
Scourge you in their syna-
gogues. And you shall be
brought before governors, and
before kings, for My- sake, for
a testimony to them and to
the gentiles. But when they
shall deliver you up, take no
thought how, or what, to
speak; for it shall be given you
in that hour what to speak;
for it is not you that speak,
but the Spirit of your Father
ihat speaketh in you. The
brother also shall deliver up

‘the brother to death, and the

father the son; and the chil-
dren shall rise up against the
parents, and shall put them

was spoken by God, saying to
you: I am the God of Abra-

not the God of the dead, but
of the living. And the multi-

the phariseés, hearing that. He
had silenced the Sadducees,
came together: and one of
them, a doctor of the law,
asked Him, tempting Him:
Master, which is the great
commandment in the law?
Jesus said to him: Thou shalt
love the Lord thy God with thy
whole heart, and with thy
whole soul, and with thy whole
mind. This is the greatest and
the first commandment. And
the second is like to this: Thou
shalt love thy neighbor as thy-

self. On these two commandments dependeth the whole law

and the prophets.

Cor. 8, 9.15
Lesson from the Epistle of
biessed Paul the Apostle to the
Corinthians. j
RETHREN: Ye know the
grace of Our Lord Jesus
Christ, that being rich He be-
came poor for your sakes; that
through His poverty ye might
be rich. And herein, I give my
counsel: for this is profitable
for you, who have begun not
only to do, but also to be will-
ing, a year ago; now therefore
perform it also in deed: that
as your mind is forward to be
willing, so it may be also to
perform, out of that which ye
have. For if the will be for-
ward, it is accepted according
to that which a man hath, not
according to that which he
hath not. For I mean not that
others should be eased, and
you burthened, but by an
equality. In this present time
let your abundance supply
their want, that their abund-
ance also may supply your
want; that there may be an
equality, as 1t is written: He
that had much had nothing
over; and he that had little
had no want.

Eccl. 44, 16

Behold a great priest, who in
his days pleased God. Y. Eccl.

found like to him, who kept

camest forth out of the womb
I sanctified thee, and made thee
& prophet unto the nations.
And I said, Ah, ah, ah, Lord
God; behold I can not speak;
for I am a child. And the Lord
said to me, Say not, I am a
child: for thou shalt go to all
that I shall send thee; and
whatever I shall command
thee, thou shalt speak. Be not
afraid at their presence; for
I am with thee to deliver thee,
saith the Lord. And the Lord
put forth His hand, and
touched my mouth: and the
Lord said to me, Behold I have
given My words in thy mouth:
lo, I have set thee this day
over the nations, and over
kingdoms, to root up, and to
pull down, and to waste, and

to destroy, and to build, and to plant; saith the Lord al-

4 Beginning of the holy
Gospel according to St. Luke.

HERE was, in the days of

Herod, the king of Judea,
a certain priest named Zach-
ary, of the course of Abia: and
his wife was of the daughters
of Aaron, and her name Eliz-
abeth: and they were both just
before God, walking in all the
commandments and justifica-
tions of the Lord without
blame. And they had no son,
for that Elizabeth was barren,
and they both were well ad-
vanced in years. And it came
to pass, when he executed the
priestly function, in the order
of his course, before God, ac-
cording to the custom of the
priestly office, it was his lot to
offer incense, going into the
temple of the Lord; and all the
multitude of the people was
praying without at the hour
of incense: and there appeared
to him an angel of the Lord,
standing on the right side of
the altar of incense. And Zach-
ary seeing him was troubled,
and fear fell upon him; but
the angel said to him, Fear
not, Zachary, for thy prayer
is heard, and thy wife Eliza-
beth shall bear thee a son, and
thou shalt call his name John;
and thou shalt have joy and
gladness, and many shall re-
joice at his nativity. For he

Lesson from the Acts of the

N THOSE days, Herod the

king stretched forth his
hands to afflict some of the
Church: and he killed James,
the brother of John, with the
sword; and seeing that it
pleased the Jews, he proceeded
to take up Peter also. Now it
was in the days of the Azymes:
and when he had apprehended
him, he cast him into prison,
delivering him to four files of
soldiers to be kept, intending
after the pasch to bring him
forth to the people. Peter
therefore was kept in prison:
but prayer was made without
ceasing by the Church unto
God for him. And when Herod
would have brought him forth,
the same night Peter was sleep-
ing between two soldiers, bound
with two chains; and the keep-

Lesson from the Epistle of
blessed Paul the Apostle to the
Galatians.

RETHREN, I give you to un-
derstand that the gospel
which was preached by me, is
not according to man. For
neither did I receive it of man,
nor did I learn it; but by the

revelation of Jesus Christ. For

you have heard of my conver-
sation in time past in the Jews’
religion: how that beyond mea-
sure I persecuted the Church
of God, and wasted it; and I
made progress in the Jews’ re-
ligion above many of my equals
in my own nation, being more
abundantly zealous for the tra-
ditions of my fathers. But when
it pleased Him, Who separated
me from my mother’s womb,

-and called me by His grace, to

reveal His Son in me, that I
might preach Him among the
gentiles, immediately I conde-
scended not to flesh and blood.
Neither went I to Jerusalem
to the apostles who were before
me: but I went into Arabia,

and again I returned to Da-

mascus. Then, after three
years, I went to Jerusalem to

T THAT time, Mary rising

up, went into the hill
country ‘with haste, into a city
of Juda. And ‘she entered into
the house of Zachary, and sa-
luted Elizabeth. À? 4t came
to pass that whel Elizabeth

"heard the salutation of Mary,

the infant leaped in her womb.
And Elizabeth was filled with
ihe Holy Ghost: and she cried
out with a loud voice, and said,
Blessed art thou among wo-
men, and blessed is the fruit
of thy womb. And whence is
this to me, that the mother of
my Lord should come to me?
For behold, as soon as the voice
of thy salutation sounded in
my ears, the infant in my
womb leaped for. joy. And
blessed art thou that hast be-
lieved, because those things
shall -be accomplished that
were spoken to thee by the
Lord. And Mary said, My soul

doth magnify the Lord; and my spirit hath rejoiced in God

my Saviour.

Lesson from the Epistle of

ODLINESS is profitable to all
things, having promise of

the life that now is, and of that
which is to come. A faithful
saying and worthy of all ac-
ceptation. For therefore we la-
bor and are reviled, because we
hope in the living God, Who is
the Saviour of all men, espe-
cially of the faithful. These
things command and teach.
Let no man despise thy youth:
but be thou an example of the
faithful, in word, in conver-
sation, in charity, in faith, in
chastity. Till I come, attend
unto reading, to exhortation,
and to doctrine. Neglect not
the grace that is in thee, which
was given thee by prophecy,
with imposition of the hands of
the priesthood. Meditate upon
these things, be wholly in these
things: that thy profiting may
be manifest to all. Take heed
io thyself, and to doctrine: be
earnest in them. For in doing
this thou shalt both save thy-
self and them that hear thee.

Come. And Peter going down
out of the ship, walked upon
the water to come to Jesus. But.
seeing the wind strong, he was
afraid; and when he began to
sink, he cried out, saying, Lord,
save me. And immediately
Jesus, stretching forth His
hand, took hold of him, and
said to him: O thou of little
faith, why dost thou doubt?
And when they were come into
the ship, the wind ceased; and
they that were in the ship,
came and adored Him, saying,
Indeed Thou art the Son of
God.

EARLY beloved: Godliness

with contentment is
great gain, For we brought
nothing into this world, and
certainly we can carry nothing
out. But having food, and
wherewith to be covered, with
these we are content. For they
that will become rich, fall into
temptation, and into the snare
of the devil, and into many un-
profitable and hurtful desires,
which drown men in destruc-
tion and perdition. For covet-
ousness is the root of all evils;
which some desiring have erred
from the Faith and have en-
tangled themselves in many
sorrows. But thou, O man of
God, fly these things; and pur-
sue justice, godliness, faith,
charity, patience, meekness.
Fight the good fight of faith;
lay hold on eternal life.

Epistle. 1 John 3, 13-18

Lesson from ihe Epistle of
blessed John the Apostle.
EARLY beloved, Wonder
not if the world hate
you. We know that we have
passed from death to life, be-
cause we love the brethren. He
that loveth not, abideth in
death. Whosoever hateth his
brother is a murderer: and you
know that no murderer hath
eternal life abiding in himself.
In this we have known the
charity of God, because He
hath laid down His life for us:
and we ought to lay down our
lives for the brethren. He that
hath the substance of this
world, and shall see his brother
in need, and shut up his bow-
els from him, how doth the
charity of God abide in him?
My little children, let us not

love in word nor iri tongue, but:

in deed and in truth.

arise, and thy justice shall go
before thy face, and the glory
of the Lord shall gather: thee
up. Then shalt thou call, and
the Lord shall hear: thou shalt
cry, and He shall say, Here I
am. If thou wilt take away the
chain out of the midst of thee,
and cease to stretch out the
finger, and to speak that which
profiteth not. When thou shalt
pour out thy soul to the hun-

flicted soul, then shall thy light

Epistle. 1 Cor. 4.

Lesson from the. Epistle of
blessed Paul the Apostle to the
Corinthians.

RETHREN, I think that
God hath set forth us
apostles the last, as it were

men appointed to death: we.

are made a spectacle to the
world, and to angels, and to
men. We are fools for Christ’s
sake, but you are wise in Christ:
we are weak, but you are
strong: you are honorable, but
we without honor. Even unto

this hour we both hunger, and.

thirst, and are naked, and are
buffeted, and have no fixed
abode, and we labor, working
with our.own hands. We are
reviled, and we bless: we are
persecuted, and we suffer it:
we are blasphemed, and we en-
treat: we are made as the
refuse of this world, the off-
scouring of all even until now.
I write not these things to con-
found you: but I admonish you
as my dearest children: for if
you have ten thousand instruc-
tors in Chrtst, yet not many
fathers. For in Christ Jesus by
the gospel I have begotten you.

Lord Jesus and the prophets,
and have persecuted us, and

Epistle. 2 Cor. 9, 6-10

Lesson from the Epistle of
blessed Paul the Apostle to the
Corinthians.

RETHREN, He who soweth
B sparingly, shall also reap
sparingly: and he who sow-
eth in blessings, shall also reap
of blessings. Everyone as he
hath determined in his heart;
not with sadness, or of neces-
sity; for God loveth & cheer-
ful giver. And God is able to
make all grace abound in you;
that ye, always having all suf-
ficiency in all things, may
abound to every good work; as
jt is written, He hath dis-
persed abroad, He hath given to
the poor: His justice remaineth
forever. And He that minister-
eth seed to the sower, will both
give you bread to eat, and will
multiply your seed, and in-
crease the growth of the fruits
of your justice.

T THAT time, Jesus went

pray, and He passed the whole
night in the prayer of God:
and when day was come, He
called unto Him His disciples;
and He chose twelve of them
(whom also He named apos-
ile, Simon whom He sur-
named Peter, and Andrew his
brother, James and. John,
Philip and Bartholomew, Mat-
thew and Thomas, James the
son of Alpheus, and Simon who
is called Zelotes, and Jude the
brother of James, and Judas
Iscariot, who was the traitor.
And coming down with them,
He stood in a plain place, and
the company of His disciples,
and a very great multitude of
people from all Judea and Je-
rusalem, and the seacoast, both
of Tyre and Sidon, who were
come to hear Him, and to be
healed of their diseases. And
they that were troubled with
unclean spirits were cured. And
all the multitude sought to
touch Him, for virtue went out
from Him, and healed all.

ten servants, he gave them ten
pounds; and said to them,
Trade till I come. But his citi-

Herodias had come in, and had

sel, Ask of me what thou wilt,
and I will give it thee. And he
swore to her, whatsoever thou
shalt ask, I will give thee;
though it be the half of my
kingdom. Who, when she was
gone out, said to her mother,
What shall I ask? But she said,
the head of John the Baptist.
And when she was come in im-
mediately with haste to the
king, she asked, saying, I wil
that forthwith thou give me in
a dish the head of John the
Baptist. And the king was
struck sad; yet because of his
oath, and because of them that
were with him at table, he
would not displease her; but
sending an executioner he com-
manded that his head should
be brought in a dish. And he
beheaded him in the prison,
and brought his head in a dish,

and gave it to the damsel, and the damsel gave it to her
mother. Which his disciples hearing, came, and took his body,

and laid it in a tomb.

Prophet.

Hus saith the Lord: Loose

the bands of wickedness,
undo the bundles that oppress,
let them that are broken go
free, and break asunder every
burden. Deal thy bread to the
hungry, and bring the needy
and the harbourless into thy
house: when thou shalt see one
naked, cover him, and despise
not thy own flesh. Then shall
thy light break forth as the
morning, and thy health shall
speedily arise, and thy justice
shall go before thy face, and
the glory of the Lord shall
gather thee up. Then shalt
thou call, and the Lord shall
hear: thou shalt cry, and he
shall say, Here I am. When
thou shalt pour out thy soul to
the hungry, and shalt satisfy
the afflicted soul, then shall thy
light rise up in darkness, and
thy darkness shall be as the
noonday.

-Lesson from the Epistle of

Corinthians. .

RETHREN: If I speak with

tongues of men, and of
angels, and have not charity, I
am becoming as sounding brass
or a tinkling cymbal. And if
I should have prophecy, and
know .all mysteries and all
knowledge, and if I should have
all faith, so that I could re-
move 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 profit-
eth me nothing. Charity is pa-
tient, 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,

http://ccwatershed.org

1204

but rejoiceth in the truth; bear-
eth all things, believeth all
things, hopeth all things, en-
dureth all things. Charity never
falleth away: whether proph-
ecles shall be made void, or
tongues shall cease, or knowl-
edge shall be destroyed.

T THAT time, Jesus saw æ

and He said to him, Follow Me.
And he rose up, and followed
Him. And it came to pass, as
He was sitting at meat in the
house, behold many publicans
and sinners came and sat down
with Jesus and His disciples.
And the pharisees seeing it,
said to His disciples, Why doth
your master eat with publicans
and sinners? But Jesus hear-
ing it, said, They that are in
health need not a physician:
but they that are ill. Go, then,
and learn what this meaneth,
I will have mercy, and not sac-
rifice. For I am not come to
call the just, but sinners.

Behold I will send My an-

and keep thee in thy journey,
and bring thee into the place
that I have prepared. Take no-

. and do not think him one to be
contemned, for he will not for-
give when thou hast sinned,
and My name is in him. But if
thou wilt hear his voice, and
do all that I speak, I will be an

enemy to Thy enemies, and will..
afflict them that afflict thee: :

and My angel shall go before
thee. i

my ways. Hear instruction,
and be wise, and refuse it not.

at the posts of my doors. He
that shall find me, shall find
life, and shall have salvation

T THAT time: the angel

Gabriel was sent from
God into a city of Galilee,
called Nazareth, to a virgin
espoused to a man whose name
was Joseph, of the house of
David; and the virgin's name
Was Mary. And the angel being
come in, said unto her: Hail,
full of grace, the Lord is with
thee; blessed art thou among
women.. Who having heard,
Was troubled at his saying, and
thought with herself what
manner of salutation this
Should be. And the angel said
to her, Fear not, Mary, for thou
hast found grace with God.
Behold thou shalt conceive in
thy womb, and shalt bring
forth a son; and thou shalt call
His name Jesus. He shall be
great, and shall be called the
Son of the Most High, and the
Lord God shall give unto Him
the throne of David His father;
and He shall reign in the house
of Jacob forever. And of His
kingdom there shall be no end.
And Mary said to the angel,
How shall this be done, because
I know not.man? And the angel
answering’ said to her, The
Holy Ghost shall come upon

I perceive that in all things you
are too superstitious. For pass-
ing by and seeing your idols, I
found an altar also on which
was written, To the unknown
God. What therefore you wor-
ship without knowing it, that
I preach to you. God Who made
the world and all things there-
in, He being Lord of heaven
and earth, dwelleth not in
temples made with hands,
neither is He served with men’s
hands, as though He needed
any thing, seeing it is He Who
giveth to all life, and breath,
and all things; and hath made
of one all mankind to dwell
upon the whole face of the
earth, determining appointed
times, and the limits of their
habitation, that they should
seek. God, if happily they may
feel after Him, or find Him; al-
though He be not far from
every one of us, for in Him we
Jive and move and be: as some
also of your own poets said,
For we are also His offspring.
Being therefore the offspring
of God, we must not suppose
the Divinity to be like unto
gold, or silver, or stone, the

but he was also ordained by the
churches companion of our
travels for this grace, which is
administered by us to the glory

will: avoiding this, lest any
man should blame us in this
abundance which is adminis-

what may be good not only
before God, but also before
men. And we have sent with

sung a new Canticle, saying,
Thou art worthy, O Lord, to
take the book, and to open the
seals thereof; because Thou
wast slain, and hast redeemed
us to God, in Thy blood, out of
every tribe, and tongue, and
people, and nation, and hast
made us to God a kingdom and
priests; and we shall reign on
the earth. And I beheld, and I
heard the voice of many angels
round about the throne, and
the living creatures and the
ancients, and the number of
them was thousands of thou-
sands, saying with a loud voice,
The Lamb that was slain is
worthy to receive power, and

N THOSE days, behold, I,

John, saw another angel
ascending from the rising of
the sun, having the sign of the
living God. And he cried with
a loud voice to the four angels,
to whom it was given to hurt
the earth and the Sea, saying,
Hurt not the earth, nor the sea,
nor the trees, till we sign the
servants of our God in their
foreheads. And I heard the
number of them that were
signed: an hundred and forty-

great multitude which no man
could number, of all nations,
and tribes, and peoples, and
tongues, standing before the
throne and in sight of the
Lamb, clothed with white
robes, and palms in their
hands; and they cried with a
loud voice, saying, Salvation to
our God Who sitteth upon the
throne, and to the Lamb. And
all the angels stood round about
the throne, and the ancients,
and the four living creatures;
and they fell down before the
throne upon their faces, and
adored God, saying, Amen.
Benediction, and glory, and
wisdom, and thanksgiving,

came unto Him. And opening
His mouth, He taught them,
saying, Blessed are the poor in
Spirit; for theirs is the king-
dom of heaven. Blessed are the
meek; for they shall possess the
land. Blessed are they that
mourn; for they shall be com-
forted.. Blessed are they that
hunger and thirst after justice;
for they shall have their fill.
Blessed are the merciful: for
they shall obtain mercy.
Blessed are the clean of heart;
for they shall see God. Blessed
are the peacemakers; for they
shall be called the children of
God. Blessed are they that
suffer persecution for justice’
sake; for theirs is the kingdom
of heaven. Blessed are ye when
they shall revile you, and per-
secute you, and speak all that
is evil against you, untruly, for
My sake: be glad and rejoice,
for your reward is very great in

N THOSE days, the most val-
iant man Judas, making a
gathering,sent twelve thousand
drachmas of silver to Jeru-
salem for sacrifice to be. of-
fered for the sins of the dead,
thinking well and religiously
concerning the resurrection
(for if he had. not hoped that
they that were slain shoùld
rise again, it would have
seemed superfiuous and vain to
pray for the dead); and be-
cause he considered that they
who had fallen asleep with god-
liness, had great grace laid up
for them. It is therefore a holy
and wholesome thought to pray
for the dead, that they may be
loosed from sins.

4 Continuation of the holy
Gospel according to St. John.

T THAT lime, Jesus said to
the multitudes of the
Jews: I am the living bread,
which came down from heaven.
If any man eat of this bread
he shall live forever: and the
bread that I will give is My
flesh for the life of the world.
The Jews therefore strove
among themselves, saying, How
can this man give us His flesh
to eat? Then Jesus said to
them, Amen, amen, I say unto
you, Except you eat the flesh of
the Son of man, and drink His
blood, you sball not have life
in you. He that.eateth My flesh,
and drinketh My blood, hath
everlasting life: and I will raise
him up in the last day.

may see the light. The light
of thy body is thy eye. If thy
eye be single, thy whole body
will be lightsome; but if it
be evil, thy body also will be
darksome. Take heed there-

thee be not darkness, If then
thy whole body be lightsome,
having no part of darkness, the
whole shall be lightsome, and
as a bright lamp shall en-

RETHREN: Be ye patient until
the coming of the Lord. Be-
hold the husbandman waiteth for
the precious fruit of the ear: pa-
tiently bearing till ye receive the
early andlatter rain. Be ye there-
fore also patient and strengthen
your heart: for the coming of the
Lord is at hand. Behold we ac-
count him blessed who have en-
dured. You have heard of the pa-
tience of Job, and you have seen
the end of the Lord, that the Lord
is merciful and compassionate.
Confess your sins one to another,
and pray forone another, that you
may be saved. For the continual
prayer of a just man availeth
much. Elias was a man passible
like unto us: and with prayer he
prayed thatit might not rain upon
the earth, and it rained not for
three years and six months: and
he prayer again and the heaven
gave rain, and the earth brought
forth her fruit.

RETHREN, we had confidence

B in our God to preach to you
thegospelofGod amid much anxi-

from error, rior from impure mo-

approved by God to be entrusted
with the gospel, so we speak notas
pleasing men, but God, who proves
our hearts. For at no time have
we used words of flattery, as you
know, nor any pretext for avarice,
God is witness, nor have we sought
glory from men, neither from you
nor from others. Although as the
apostles of Christ we could have
claimed a position ofhonor among
you, still while in your midst we
were as children: as if a nurse
were cherishing herown children,
so we in our love for you would
gladly have imparted to you not

own souls: because you. had be-

Lesson. Ecclus. 44,

Lesson from the Book of
Wisdom.

HE blessing of the Lord was
upon the head of the just

man. Therefore the Lord gave
him an inheritance, and di-
vided him his portion in twelve
tribes: and he found grace in
the eyes of all flesh. He magni-
fied him in the fear of his
enemies, and with his words he
made prodigies to cease. He
glorified him in the sight of
kings, and gave him command-
ments in the sight of his peo-
ple, and showed him His glory.
He sanctified him in his faith
and meekness, and chose him
out of all flesh. And He gave
him commandments before His
face, and a law of life and in-
struction; and He exalted him.
He made an everlasting cove-
nant with him, and girded him
about with a girdle of justice:

divisit illi partem in tríbubus

jussit ili coram pópulo suo,

illi coram precépta, et legem

Lesson from the Epistle of
blessed Peter the Apostle.

RETHREN: "The ancients

therefore that are among
you, I beseech, who am myself
also an ancient and a witness
of the sufferings of Christ: as
also & partaker of that glory
which is to be revealed in time
to come: Feed the flock of God
which is among you, taking
care of it not.by constraint, but
willingly according to God: not
for filthy lucre’s sake, but vol-
untarily: Neither as lording it
over the clergy, but being made
a pattern of the flock from the
heart. And when the prince of
pastors shall appear, you shall
receive a never-fading crown
of glory. But the God of all
grace, Who hath called us unto
His eternal glory in Christ Je-
sus, after you have suffered &
little, will Himself perfect you,
and confirm you, and establish
you. To Him be glory and em-
pire for ever and ever.. Amen.

tell you in the dark, speak ye
in the light; and that which
you hear in the ear, preach ye
upon the house-tops. And fear
ye not them that kill the body,
and are not able to kill the
soul; but rather fear Him that
can destroy both soul and body
in hell. Are not two sparrows
sold for a farthing, and not one

Season, out of season: reprove,
entreat, rebuke in all patience,
and doctrine. For there shall
be a time, when they will not
endure sound doctrine; but
according to their own desires
they. will heap to themselves
teachers, having itching ears,
and will indeed turn away their
hearing from the truth, but
will be turned unto fables. But
be thou vigilant, labor in all
things, do the work of an
evangelist, fulfil thy ministry.
Be sober. For I am even now
ready to be sacrificed; and the
time of my dissolution is at
hand. I have fought a good
fight, X have finished my
course, I have kept the Faith.
As to the rest, there is laid up
for me a crown of justice,
which the Lord the just judge
will render to me in that day;

and not only to me, but to them also that love his coming.

I say unto you, till heaven and
earth pass, one jot or one tittle

to Jesus the pharisees
empting Him and saying: Is it
lawful for & man to put away
his wife for every cause? Who
answering, said to them: Have
ye not read that He Who made
man from the beginning made
them male and female? And He
said: For this cause shall a
man leave father and mother
and shall cleave to his wife;
and they two shall be in one

not two, but one flesh. What
therefore God hath joined to-

then did Moses command to
give a bill of divorce and to
put away? He saith to them:
Because Moses by reason of the
hardness of your heart per-
mitted you to put away your
wives. But from the beginning
it was not so. And I say to you
that whosoever shall put away
his wife, except.it be for forni-

other, committeth adultery:
and he that shall marry her
that is put away committeth
adultery. His disciples say unto
Him: If the case of a man with

taking their lamps went out to
meet the bridegroom and the

foolish, and five wise. But the
five foolish, having taken their
lamps, did not take oil with
them; but the wise took oil in
their vessels with the lamps.
And the bridegroom tarrying,
they all slumbered and slept.
And at midnight there was a
cry made, Behold the bride-
groom cometh, go ye forth to
meet him. Then all those vir-
gins arose and trimmed their
lamps; and the foolish said to
the wise, Give us of your oil,
for our lamps are gone out.
The wise answered, saying, Lest
perhaps there be not enough for
us and for you, go you rather
to them that sell, and buy for
yourselves. Now. whilst they
went to buy, the bridegroom
came, and they that were ready
went in with him to the mar-
riage, and the door was shut.
But at last came also the other
virgins, saying, Lord, Lord,

Gospel according to St. Mat-
thew.

T THAT time, Jesus spoke
this parable to His dis-
ciples: The kingdom of heaven
is like unto a treasure hidden
in a field; which a man having
found, hid it, and for joy there-
of goeth, and selleth all that he
hath, and buyeth that field.
Again, the kingdom of heaven
is like to a merchant seeking
good pearls. Who, when he had
found one pearl of great price,
went his way and sold all that
he had, and bought it. Again,
ihe kingdom of heaven is like
to a net cast into the sea, and
gathering together of all kinds
of fishes; which, when it was
filled, they drew out, and sitting
by the shore, they chose out the
good into vessels, but the bad
they cast forth. So shall it be
at the end of the world. The
angels shall go out, and shall
separate the wicked from the
just, and shall cast them into
the furnace of fire; there shall
be weeping and gnashing of
teeth. Have ye understood all
these things? They say to Him,
Yes. He said unto them, There-
fore every scribe instructed in
the kingdom of heaven, is like
to a man who is a householder,
who bringeth forth out of his
treasure new things and old.

Lesson from the Epistle of
blessed Paul the Apostle to
Timothy.

EARLY beloved: Honor
D widows, that are widows
indeed. But if any widow have
children, or grandchildren, let
her learn first to govern her
own house, and to make a re-
turn of duty to her parents:
for this is acceptable before
God. But she that is a widow
indeed and desolate, let her
trust in God, and continue in
prayers and supplications night
and day. For she that liveth
in pleasures, is dead while she
is living. And this give in
charge, that they may be
blameless. But if any man have
not care of his own, and es-
pecially of those of his house,
he hath denied the faith, and
is worse than an infidel. Let
a widow be chosen of no less
than threescore years of age,
who hath been the wife of one
husband, having testimony for
her good works, if she have
brought up children, if she have
received to harbor, if she have
washed the saints’ feet, if she

% Continuation of the holy
Gospel according to St. Luke.
T THAT time, Jesus enter-
ing in, walked through
Jericho. And behold there was
a man named Zacheus, who
was the chief of the publicans,
and he was rich; and he sought :
to see Jesus Who He was, and
he could not for the crowd, be-
cause he was of low stature.
And running before, he climbed
up into a sycamore-tree that
he might see Him, for He was
to pass that way. And when
Jesus was come to the place,
looking up, He saw him, and
said to him, Zacheus, make
haste and come down, for this
day I must abide in thy house.
And he made haste and came
down, and received Him with
joy. And when all saw it, they
murmured, saying that He was
gone to be a guest with a man
that was a sinner. But Zacheus
standing, said to the Lord, Be-
hold, Lord, the half of my goods
I give to the poor, and if I
have wronged any man of any-
thing, I restore him fourfold.
Jesus said to him, This day is
salvation come to this house;
because he also is a son of
Abraham. For the Son of man
is come to seek and to save
that which was lost.

On Saturday

These Masses may also be said as Votive Masses on Saturday
of our Blessed Lady which vary cooording to the seasons of the
ecclesiastical year. They differ from. others in that the addi-
tional prayer when required after the commemoration of the
Office of the day is that of the Holy Ghost, page 827. But on
Saturdays, if the Office of our Blessed Lady is prescribed, the
hymn Gloria in excelsis is said and the second Prayer is of the
Holy Ghost, and the third for the Church, or for the Pope (see
Additional Prayers, pages 820-829), when a Mass is celebrated
in honor of our Blessed Lady. i

Votive Masses

Usually the Mass celebrated by a priest is that proper to the
day, as Indicated. in the calendar, or ordo. A Mass other than
hat of the day is called a Votive Mass, or Mass of Devotion.
These are of two kinds: :

1) Votive Mass, by order of the Pope, or the bishop, in times
of public need, to implore God's help.

In such Masses a) The Nicene Creed is sung. b) The Gloria
is sung if the oceasion be not of a penitential character. c)
All commemorations or additional prayers are omitted.

2) Votive Masses celebrated by individual priests to satisfy
their own devotion or that of others.

These are permitted in moderation on all Gays of the year,
except on: a) Feasts of double rite. b) On Sundays. c)
During Octaves of Christmas, Epiphany, Easter, Ascension,
Pentecost and Corpus Christi. d) During Lent. e) On Roga-
tion Monday. f) On aU Vigils. g} On days on which a Sunday
Mass is anticipated or postponed.

3) When it is permitted to say a Votive Mass, the following
rubrics obtain:

a) Credo is omitted. b)Gloria in Excelsis is omitted except
in Votive Mass of the Angels, and the Saturday Votive Masses
of our Blessed Lady, c) Commemoration is made of the Mass
of the day. d) Other prayers are added, from those appointed
for occasional use; they are found on pages 1494-1500. e) The
total number of Prayers, Secrets and Postcommunions may_be
never less than three. f) Whenever a Votive Mass is allowed, a
Mass for the Dead, in black vestments may be said.

4) Votive Masses assigned to each day are as follows:

Monday, The Blessed Trinity, page 1414.

Tuesday, The Holy Angels, page 1417.

Wednesday, St. Joseph, or the Apostles; see index.

i Thursday, The Holy Ghost or the Blessed Sacrament; see
ndez. . .

Friday, The Holy Cross or the Passion; see indez.

Saturday, Our Blessed Lady; see indez.

Motive Mass of ur Lord Jesus Christ, The
` Most High and Eternal Priest, (White)

This Mass may be celebrated on the first Thursday of any
month in churches and oratories in which, by the consent of
the respective Ordinary special exercises of devotion for the
sanctification of the clergy are held in the morning. It may
not be celebrated on a feast which is a double of the first or
second class, any feast, vigil or octave of Our Lord, or the
commemoration of the Faithful Departed; nor on the 2, 3 or
4 of January when the Mass “Puer natus" from the octave of
Christmas is said; preserving always the rights of the conven-
tual or parochial Mass. Instead of the first Thursday it may be
said the first Saturday, under the same conditions. (8. C. Rit.,
March 11, 1935.)

*K Continuation of the holy
Gospel according to St. John.
T THAT time, Jesus saw
Nathanael coming to
Him: and He saith of him:
Behold an Israelite indeed, in
whom there is no guile. Na-
thanael saith to Him: Whence
knowest Thou me? Jesus an-
swered, and said to him: Before
that Philip called thee, when
thou wast under the fig-tree, I
saw thee. Nathanael answered
Him, and said: Rabbi, Thou
art the Son of God, Thou art
the king of Israel. Jesus an-
swered, and said to him: Be-
cause I said unto thee, I saw
íhee under the fig-tree, thou
believest: greater things than
these shalt thou see. And He
Said to him: Amen, amen I say

to you, you shall see the heaven opened, and the angels of God
ascending and descending upon the Son of man.

that the bodies might not re-
main upon the cross on the
Sabbath-day (for that was a
great Sabbath-day) besought
Pilate that their legs might be
broken, and that they might
be taken away. The soldiers,
therefore, came: and they broke
the legs of the first, and of the
other that was crucified with
him. But after they were come
to Jesus, when they saw that
He was already dead, they did
not break His legs. But one of
the soldiers with a spear opened

may obtain mercy, and find

every high priest taken from

men in the things that apper-

up gifts and sacrifice for sins:
Who can have compassion on
them that are ignorant and
that err: because he himself
also is compassed with infirm-
ity. And therefore he ought,
as for the people, so also for
himself, to offer for sins. Nei-
ther doth any man take the
honor to himself, but he that is
called by God, as Aaron was.
So Christ also did not glorify
Himself, that He might be
made & high priest: but He
that said unto Him: Thou art
My Son, this day have I be-
gotten Thee. As He saith also
in another place: Thou art a
priest forever, according to the

that loveth his wife, loveth
himself: for no man ever hated
his own flesh, but nourisheth

doth the Church: for we are

flesh, and of His bones. For
this cause shall 3 man leave
his father and mother, and
Shall cleave to his wife; and

sight of God our Saviour, Who
will have all men to be saved,
and to come to the knowledge

God, and one mediator of God
and men, the man Christ Je-

in due times, whereunto I am

.RETHREN: I beseech you

that you walk worthy of

the vocation in which you are
called: with all humility and
mildness, with patience, sup-
porting one another in charity.
Careful to keep the unity of
the spirit in the bond of peace.
One body and one spirit, as you
are called in one hope of your
calling. One Lord, one faith,
one baptism. One God and
Father of all, who is above all,
and through all, and in us all.
But to every one of us is
given grace according to the
measure of the giving of Christ;
until we all meet into the unity
of faith, and of the knowledge
of the Son of God, unto a per-
fect man, unto the measure of
the age of the fulness of Christ;

that henceforth we be no more
children tossed to and fro and
carried about with every wind
of doctrine by the wickedness
of men by cunning craftiness
by which they lie in wait to de-
ceive. But doing the truth in
charity, we may in all things
grow up in Him Who is the
head, even Christ; from Whom
the whole body. being com-
pacted and fitly joined together,
by what every joint supplieth,
according to the operation in
the measure of every part, mak-
eth increase of the body unto
the edifying of itself in charity.
This then I say and testify in
the Lord: that henceforward
you walk not as also the gen-
tiles walk in the vanity of their
mind. Having their under-
standing darkened, being alien-
ated from the life of God
through the ignorance that is
in them, because of the blind-
ness of their hearts. Who des-
pairing, have given themselves
up to lasciviousness, unto the
working of all uncleanness,
unto covetousness. But you
have not so learned Christ: if
so be that you have heard Him,
and have been taught in Him,
as the truth is in Jesus our
Lord.

N THOSE days: The. Lord

Israel, from the morning unto
the time appointed, and there
died of the people from Dan to
Bersabee seventy thousand
men. And when the angel of
the Lord had stretched out his
hand over Jerusalem to destroy

affliction, and said to the angel
that slew the people: It is
enough: now hold thy hand.
And the angel of the Lord was
by the ‘thrashing-floor of
Areuna the Jebusite. And
David said to the Lord, when
he saw the angel striking the
people: It is I, I am he that
have sinned, I have done
wickedly: these that are the
sheep, what have they done?
let Thy hand, I beseech Thee,
be turned against me, and
against my father’s house. And
Gad came to David that day,
and said: Go up, and build
an altar to the Lord in the
thrashing-floor of Areuna the
Jebusite. And David went up
according to the word of Gad

Occasional Prayers

The following prayers are those from which a celebrating
priest occasionally selects the third prayer left to his choice
on days that are not of double rite. Frequently, a bishop may
order that for some public need one or more of them be added
in all Masses celebrated in his diocese. Unless he prescribes
otherwise, such prayer, appointed by the ordinary, is omitted
on those feasts only which are doubles of the first or second
class, and on other exceptionally privileged days. In fine, in
Serial Masses, a priest is allowed to add other Collects, but so
that the whole number of prayers recited in any Mass never
exceeds seven. $

(Masses and Burial Services for tbe Dead
The Common or 3Bailp Mass for the Dead

Any mass, whether festal, ferial, or votive, may be offered up
for the soul or souls of the faithful departed. But they may
not be celebrated in black vestments, with the rite proper to
Masses jor the Dead: 1. On Sunday. 2. On feasts of a double
rite (except by special indult). 3. During the octaves of Christ-
mas, Epiphany, Easter, Ascension, Pentecost and Corpus Christi.
4. During Lent, except, on the first day of each week which is
not of à double rite. 5. On Rogation Monday. 6. On ember-
days. 7. On all vigils. 8. When the Most Blessed Sacrament is
publicly exposed. 9. Om a feria on which the Mass of the Sun-
day is anticipated or postponed. In this Common or Daily
Mass for the Dead (Missa Quotidiana), the number of prayers,
with their corresponding Secrets and Postcommunions, may
not be less than three; the first, that answering to thé particu-
lar intention for which the Mass is offered up (for instance,
for one or for several persons deceased, for a priest, for ali
buried in a graveyard, etc.), the second, either for all deceased
brethren, relatives and benefactors, or another at choice, and
the last, that jor all the faithful departed. These will .be
found in pages following. The Sequence Dies iræ, dies illa,
in such Masses may be recited or omitted at the choice of the
celebrant. It is of counsel, that, should the day on which it
is desired to have a Mass said for the repose of the soul of a
deceased person, happen to be one om which Masses for the
dead are not permitted, the Mass of the occurring feast or feria
be offered up for the intention, rather than that the benefit
accruing to the suffering soul be delayed by waiting until a day
supervene on which a Mass in black vestments may be said,

Told by Sibyl and David's lyre.

Fright mens hearts shall rudely

As the Judge through gleaming

` Comes each soul to closely sift.

Piercing tombs by hill and

Souls to judgment shall ar-

Saving e’en when unimplored,
Save me, mercy’s fount adored.

Ah! Sweet Jesus, mindful be,

That Thou cam’st on earth for
me: :

Cast me not this day from
Thee.

Seeking me Thy strength was
spent

Ransoming Thy limbs were
rent: :

Is this toil to no intent?

Thou, awarding pains condign,
Mercy's ear to me incline,
Ere the reckoning Thou assign.

I, felon-like, my lot bewail,

Suffused cheeks my shame un-
veil:

God! O let my prayer prevail.

Mary's soul Thou madest
white,

Didst to heaven the thief in-
vite;

Hope in me these now excite.

Prayers of mine in vain ascend:

Thou art good and wilt fore-

In quenchless fire my life to

Absolution over the Catafalque
` After Mass the celebrant lays aside his chasuble and maniple

and puts on the black cope.

Attended by the deacon he goes

to the entrance of the sanctuary, where he stands somewhat

toward the Epistle side, facing the catafalque.

The subdeacon,

attended by the acolytes, stands on the opposite side of the
catafalque, bearing thé processional cross.

The clergy standing around the catafalque, the choir now
chants the following responsory:

B. ELIVER me, O Lord,

Lesson from the Epistle of
Blessed Paul the Apostle to the
Thessalonians,

RETHREN, we will not have

you ignorant concern-
ing them that are asleep, that
you be not sorrowful, even as
others who have no hope. For
if we believe that Jesus died
and rose again, even so them
who have slept through Jesus
will God bring with Him. For
this we say unto you in the
word of the.Lord, that. we who
are alive, who remain unto the
coming. of the Lord, shall not
prevent them who have slept.
For the Lord Himself ‘shall
come down from heaven, with
commandment, and with the
voice of an archangel, and with
the trumpet of God; and the
dead who are in Christ shall
rise first. Then we who are
alive, who are left, shall be
taken up together with them in
the clouds to meet Christ, into
the air, and so shall we be al-
ways with the Lord. Wherefore,

comfort ye one another with these words.

fered for the sins of the dead,
thinking well and religiously
concerning the resurrection

(for if he had not hoped that.

they that were slain should rise
again, it would have seemed
superfluous and vain to pray
for the dead); and because he
considered that they who had
fallen asleep with godliness,
had great grace laid up for

and wholesome thought to pray
for the dead, that they may be
loosed from sins,

The Forty Hours’ Adoration

This prayer of the Forty Hours was established forever by
Pope Clement VIL, for the whole course of the year, in regular
continuous succession, from one church to another, commenc-
ing on the first Sunday in Advent with the chapel in the apos-
tolical palace, as appears from the constitution Graves et
diuturna, Nov. 25, 1592. This Pope was moved to establish this
devotion by the public troubles of holy Church, in order that,
day and night, the faithful might appease their Lord by prayer
before the Blessed Sacrament in solemn exposition, imploring
there His divine mercy.

As regards the introduction of the Forty Hours, into the
United States we read in the “Manual of the Forty Hours’
Adoration" the following note:

“This devotion was first introduced into the Diocese of
Philadelphia in 1853 by the saintly Bishop Neumann; next, in
1858, into the archdiocese of Baltimore; and finaly at the
Plenary Council of Baltimore in 1866 formally approved (con-
firmed by Papal indults) for all the dioceses of the United
States. The Most Rev. P. F. Kenrick, Archbishop of Baltimore,
feeling that not all the rules of the Clementine Instruction
could be strictly observed, had petitioned Pius IX to grant
some. modifications. A rescript, dated December 10, 1857, and
extended to all the dioceses of the United States, January 24,
1868, allowed the following concessions: .

fa) That,the Exposition need not be continued during the
night. (b) That the procession may be omitted at the prudent
discretion of the pastor. (c) That the faithful should be able
to gain all the indulgences granted by the Constitution Graves
et diuturna of Clement VIII. ] z ]

Indul gences

Once on‘éach of the three days a Plenary Indulgence may be
gama by visiting the church during Exposition, and reciting

ve Our Fathers and Hail Marys, Glory be to the Father, add-
ing one Our Father and Hail Mary and Glory be to the Father
for the Holy Father's intention; a fúrther requisite is the re-
ception of the Sacraments of Penance and Holy Communion,

For every visit during the Exposition a Partial Indulgence
of fifteen years may be gained, by all who are truly sorry for
their sins. These latter Indulgences may be applied to the
souls in Purgatory, A. A. S., page 381, 1933. (Confession and
Communion within eight days before the Forty Hours fulfills
this condition. It is not necessary that Confession and Com-
munion take place in tbe church where the Forty Hours is
being celebrated.)

The Masses and Ceremonies

ment as said on Corpus Christi, page 635. :

1. Sunday of the First Class,

2. Double Feasts of the First Class.

3. Feasts commemorating any mystery of our Lord connected
with the Blessed Sacrament.

4. Ash Wednesday; Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday in
Holy Week.

5. Vigils of Christmas, Pentecost and All Souls’ Day.

Exposition of the Blessed Sacrament takes place after Holy
Communion when the celebrant places the sacred Host in the
monstrance. At the end of Mass he takes off the chasuble,
puts on the cope and then incenses the Blessed Sacrament.
During the procession the hymn “Pange Lingua" is sung as
on Holy Thursday, page 454.

On returning to the altar the Blessed Sacrament is placed
on the throne and the choir sings the Tantum Ergo,

Tantum Ergo Sacramentum

T)" in adoration falling,

Lo! the sacred host we
hail!
Lo o'er ancient forms depart-
ing,
Newer rites of grace prevail;
Faith for all defects supplying,
Where the feeble senses fail.
'To the everlasting Father,
And the Son Who reigns
high, -
With the Holy Ghost proceed-

Forth from each eternally,
Be salvation, honor, blessing,
Might, and endless majesty.

For the close of the Forty Hours the celebrant puts on the
cope and kneels at the foot of the altar. The Litany (page
1536) is chanted, then the Blessed Sacrament is incensed and
the procession takes place, during which the hymn Pange
Lingua (page 454) is sung. At the end of the Procession the
Blessed Sacrament is placed on the altar, and the choir sings
the Tantum Ergo Sacramentum (page 1536). This hymn being
finished, ihe celebrant sings the versicie, "Panem de colo,"
etc., and the. choir responds, "Omne delectamentum,” etc. Then
the celebrant rises and chants the prayers, after which is
given Benediction of the Blessed Sacrament as on page 1536.
Then the service closes with the Te Deum, “Holy God, we praise
Thy name,” sung by the congregation.

AVE mercy upon us, O God

show us the light of Thy mercy.
Gather together all the tribes
of Jacob that they may know
that there is no God besides
Thee, and may declare Thy
great works: and Thou shalt
inherit them as from the be-
ginning. Have mercy on Thy
people, upon whom Thy name
is invoked: and upon Israel,
whom Thou hast raised up to
be Thy firstborn. Have mercy
on the city which Thou hast
sanctified. Fill Sion with Thy
unspeakable works, and Thy
people with Thy glory. Give
testimony to them that are Thy
creatures from the beginning,
and raise up the prophecies
which the former prophets
spoke in Thy name. Reward
them that patiently wait for
Thee, that Thy prophets may
be found faithful: and hear the
prayers of thy servants ac-
cording to the blessing of Aaron
over Thy people, and direct us
into the way of justice.

Lesson from ihe Epistle of

. blessed Paul the Apostle to the

Ephesians.

AM made a minister (of the

Gospel) according to the
gift of the grace of God, which
is given unto me according to
the operation of His power.
Unto me, the least of all the
saints, is given this. grace, to
preach among the gentiles the
unsearchable riches of Christ;
and to enlighten all men what
is the dispensation of the mys-
tery which hath been hidden
from eternity in God, Who cre-
ated all things. That the mani-
fold wisdom of God may be
made known to the principali-
ties and powers in the heavenly
places through the Church, ac-
cording to the eternal purpose,
which He made in Christ Jesus
our Lord. In Whom we have
boldness and access with con-
fidence by the faith of Him.
Wherefore I pray you not to
faint at my tribulations for
you, which is your glory. For
this cause, I bow my knees to
the Father of our Lord Jesus
Christ, of Whom all paternity
in heaven and on earth is
named, that He would grant
you according to the riches of
His glory, to be strengthened
by His Spirit with might, unto
the inward man, that Christ
may dwell by faith in your
hearts; that being rooted and
founded in charity you may be
able to comprehend with all the
saints, what is the breadth and
length and height and depth:
to know also the charity of
Christ, which surpasseth all
knowledge, that you may be

"B Continuation of the holy
Gospel according to St. John.

AM the true vine; and My

Father is the husbandman.
Every branch in Me, that bear-
eth not fruit, He will take away:
and every one that beareth
fruit, He will purge it, that it
may bring forth more fruit.
Now you are elean by reason of
the word, which'I have spoken
to you. Abide in Me, and I in
you. As the branch cannot bear
fruit öf itself, unless it abide
in the vine, so neither can you,
unless you abide in Me. I am
the vine; you the branches: he
that abideth in Me, and I in
him, the same beareth much
fruit: for without Me you can
do nothing. If any one abide
not in Me, he shall be cast
forth as a branch, and shall
wither and they shall gather
him up, and cast him into the
fire, and he burneth. If you
abide in Me, and My words
abide in you, you shall ask
whatever you will, and it
shall be done unto you. In this
is My Father glorified; that you
bring forth very much fruit,
and become My disciples. As
the Father hath. loved Me, I
also have loved you. Abide in
My love. If you keep My com-
mandments, you shall abide in
My love; as I also have kept My
Father's commandments, and
do abide in His love. These
things I have spoken to you,
that My joy may be in you,
and your joy may be filled. This
is My commandment, that you

Lesson from the Epistle of

Corinthians.

OR consider your own call,

brethren; that there were
not many wise according to the
flesh, not many mighty, not
many noble. But the foolish
things of the world has God
chosen to put to shame the wise,
and the weak things of the
world has God chosen to put to
shame the strong, and the base
things of the world and the
despised has God chosen, and
the things that are not, to bring
to naught the things that are;
lest any flesh should pride itself
before Him. From Him you are
in Christ Jesus, Who has be-
come for us God-given wisdom,
and justice, and sanctification,
and redemption; so that, just
as jt is written, Let him who
takes pride, take pride in the
Lord. And I, brethren, when I

are few. Pray therefore the

Lesson. 1 John 4,7-11

Lesson from the Epistle of
blessed John the Apostle.

EARLY beloved: Let us love
D one another, for charity
is of God. And everyone that
loveth is born of God, and
knoweth God. He that loveth
not knoweth not God; for God
is charity. By this faith the
charity of God appeared toward
us, because God hath sent His
only-begotten Son into the
world that we may live by Him.
In this is charity; not as though
we had loved God, but because
He hath first loved us, and sent
His Son to be a propitiation for
our sins. My dearest, if God
has so loved us, we also ought
to love one another.

Lesson. Ecclus. 26, 18-24

Lesson from the Book of
Wisdom.

UCH is a wise and silent

woman; and there is
nothing so: much worth as &
well-instructed soul. A holy
and shamefaced woman is
grace upon grace: and no price
is worthy of a continent soul.
As the sun when it riseth to
the world in the high places
of God, so is the beauty of a
good wife for the ornament of
her house. As the lamp shin-
ing upon the holy candlestick,
so is the beauty of the face in
a ripe age. As golden pillars on
bases of silver, so are the firm
feet upon the soles of a steady
woman. As everlasting founda-
tions upon a rock, so are the
commandments of God in the
heart of a holy woman,

Epistle. 2 Cor. 12, 11-15

Lesson from the Epistle of
blessed Paul the Apostle to the
Corinthians. -

RETHREN; I ought to have
been commended by you:
for I have.no way come short
of them that are above measure
apostles, although I be nothing.
Yet the signs of my apostleship
have been wrought on you, in
all patience, in signs, in won-
ders, and mighty deeds. For
what is there that you have had
less than the other churches,
but that I myself was not bur-
densome to you? Pardon me
this injury. Behold now the
third time I am ready to come
to you; ‘and I will not be bur-
densome unto you. For I seek
not the things that are yours,
but you. For neither ought the
children to lay up for the par-
ents, but the parents for the
children. But I most gladly
will spend and be spent myself
for your souls; although lov-
ing you more, I be loved less.

The Ecclesiastical Wear and
the Sacred Liturgy

The Divisions of the Ecclesiastical Dear

HE ecclesiastical year begins on the first Sunday of Ad-
vent, that is, on the Sunday next, whether before or after,
the feast of St. Andrew the Apostle, November 30.

Following this are the four weeks of Advent and the Christ-
mas festivals, ending with the Epiphany, January 6.

The Sundays that follow are called the first, the second,
and so forth, after the Epiphany. They are never more than
six in number, and their series is, as a rule, interrupted by the
coming of Septuagesima Sunday, which is the ninth before
Easter and the first of those on which the liturgy is of a peni-
tential character.

Septuagesima is followed by Sexagesima and Quinqua-
gesima; this last is the Sunday next before Ash Wednesday,
on which Lent begins. Lent has six Sundays: the two last
of these are, respectively, Passion Sunday and Palm Sunday.
The week beginning with Palm Sunday, that in which Our
Lord was betrayed and crucified, is known as Holy Week.
Easter Sunday, the feast of the Resurrection of Our Lord,
upon the date of which the foregoing celebrations depend,
is the Sunday next following the full moon first occurring
after the twentieth day of the month of March. The earliest
possible date for Easter is March 22, and the latest April 25.

The weeks'between Easter and Trinity Sunday are known
as Paschal Time. Forty days after Easter is the feast of the
Ascension of Our Lord, which always falls on a Thursday;
and ten days later, that is on the seventh Sunday and fiftieth
day after Easter, is the feast of the Descent of the Holy Ghost,
called Pentecost or Whit-Sunday. Trinity Sunday is the Sun-
day next following; on the Thursday after this Holy Church
celebrates Corpus Christi, the festival of the Most Holy Sacra-
ment, and after its octave day the feast of the Most Sacred
Heart of Jesus, with which her cycle of movable feasts ends.

The remaining Sundays of the year, which cannot number
more than twenty-eight nor less than twenty-three, are de-
scribed as the third, fourth, etc., after Pentecost.

The Movable Feasts Around Which the Ecclesiastical

Year Is Arranged.

The Sundays after Epiphany and Pentecost—Easter may
occur as early aS March 22, and as late as April 25. This
movable feast determines the date of other movable feasts,
such as the Ascension, Pentecost, Trinity, and so forth. When
Easter is exceedingly early there is not sufficient time between
Epiphany and Septuagesima Sunday for the six Sundays, as

1622

found in the liturgy, after Epiphany, whereas after Pentecost
more than the twenty-four prescribed Sundays will be needed
to complete the ecclesiastical year. It may happen, too, when
eed B late that there are not twenty-four Sundays after
Pentecost.

The Sundays omitted after Epiphany are employed, as far
as necessary, to make up the number required after Pentecost,
that is, the liturgical parts with some slight changes are
transferred. When one Sunday only is required, the sixth
Sunday after Epiphany is taken; if two are necessary to fill
out the ecclesiastical year, the fifth and sixth Sundays after
Epiphany are transferred, or, if necessary, the third, fourth,
fifth, and sixth.

Because of the special liturgical features of the twenty-
fourth Sunday after Pentecost, this Sunday comes last, though
it be the twenty-fifth, twenty-sixth, and so forth. The Sundays
transferred as above are placed after the twenty-third Sunday
after Pentecost. Septuagesima Sunday can not be earlier than
January 18 or later than February 22. There may be as few as
twenty-three Sundays after Pentecost, and as many as twenty-
eight. When there are only twenty-three Sundays after Pente-
cost, the twenty-fourth will retain Sunday, while the twenty-
third will be observed, rubrics permitting, on the day before
(Saturday). The office of one of the Sundays after Epiphany,
namely, the third, fourth, fifth, or sixth (there are special
rubrics for the second), when it would otherwise be omitted,
is.said on the Saturday which immediately precedes Septua-
gesima Sunday. iu

Besides the above celebrations, there is the calendar of
festivals fixed to particular days of the month. This varies
according to the country and the diocese. The calendar
(see list of contents) shows all festivals that are of obligatory
observance throughout the Christian world. ,

Those festivals that are special to the United States, and
certain others kept in various Religious Orders, have been
placed in several special Supplements and will be found imme-
diately after the Masses for the Dead (page 1546). To find a
certain feast, consult the Alphabetical Index at the back of
the book as every Mass and Feast in this missal is given therein.
The calendar suffices for general needs to show what Mass
is to be said on any particular day, but to ensure accuracy

; in every detail the directory or Ordo annually published in

i the locality should be consulted. This is the more necessary
because of the overlapping of movable and fixed feasts, which
often involves the transfer, or putting off, to another day of
the one or the other. As a rule a feast of lesser always yields
to one of higher liturgical rank.

! Note: The reader is again advised to study the section in
the front part of the book entitled, Read Mass with the Priest,
which will enable him to use this book readily and appreciate
its relation to ihe character of the Ecclesiastical Year as
explained in this portion.

1624 ECCLESIASTICAL YEAR AND SACRED LITURGY

The Sacred Liturgy
The Yearly Liturgical Cycle

Liturgy in its full meaning is a vast and intelligent put-
ting together of the affections toward the Supreme and
Infinite Good by means of which the Church carries on forever
that perfect worship in spirit and in truth which Christ came
to render unceasingly to His divine Father. It includes all the
sacrifices, rites, and chants, as well as the artistic inspirations
in the mind of the painters, the sculptors, and the architects,
who unite their talents and their prayers so that there may
evolve therefrom the sacred edifice of the Catholic Church.

The Liturgy is not only the rule of prayer; it is the rule of
faith. “The law of praying, is the law of believing.” It not
only comprises the relations or aspirations of the Church to
Christ and to God, but also contains and transmits to us who
have. faith the divine word of the most Holy Trinity. It puts
to the proof the efficacy of its prayers on the divine heart, and
exerts a powerful influence on the “naturally Christian soul”
of man, and in a special manner on the religious education
of the masses. It has an immense influence on the catechetical
training of the faithful; in former days the collective parti-
cipation in the Liturgy. with the fervor and spirit desired by
our Mother the Church would be & great source of knowledge
as well as of devotion. The Liturgy, as the true mouthpiece
of God, aims at being eminently for the people, because it
treats man according to his nature, that is, as a being formed
of both spirit and matter, who, consequently, infers and
abstracts that which is conceivable from that which is per-
ceptible, and which, by reason of its external qualities, is
manifest to the senses. So in order to be sure of reaching the
intellect, it first conquers and subjugates the senses and the
heart, and by means of all the attractions of art, painting,
sculpture, and architecture, of music, poetry, and literature,
binds the imagination and compels it to aet as the handmaid
of faith, at the very moment in which it transmits to the
intellect the message of God.

Despite the many associations and celebrations in our day
the knowledge of God makes but little headway even amongst
Christians. Even those who are Catholics in name and in
intention often know very little of the Catechism, and even
if, for the most part, they are not ignorant of the actual words
of the Acts of faith, hope, and charity, yet one cannot there-
fore say that the Gospel is in truth the standard and rule of
life of all those who inscribe their names in the various
Catholic societies.

A fatal error of the Reformation was that of individualizing
religion through the principle of private judgment, and of
presenting before God the Father, not one great family united
by faith, but isolated individuals. The spirit of the Catholic

turgy, on the other hand, is essentially social, in its char-
&cter public, tangible, and dramatic. In this lies the secret
of its early popularity.

ECCLESIASTICAL YEAR AND SACRED LITURGY 1625

The Church, says St. Ambrose, presents the most perfect
form of admirable community and social life. As it has been
redeemed collectively, and as it is collective in its constitution,
SO it believes, hopes, and loves collectively, combats collec-
tively, is persecuted collectively, prays and triumphs col-
lectively. The Church lives through Christ; not through.Christ
the Head separated from His mystical body, but through
Christ, Head and Body, which is the Church.

The sacred Liturgy contains a spiritual teaching which is
the most complete in itself, because it does not dwell almost
conclusively, as so many personal devotions do, on one par-
ticular mystery, but in the course of the entire. year it unfolds
before the faithful and explains to them in a marvellous order
the whole series of the dogmas concerning our holy redemption.

The Liturgy is best put into practice, in the hearing of Mass
&nd receiving of Holy Communion, by keeping in touch with
the various cycles of the sacred Liturgy, all of which lead to
Jesus Christ in the Eucharist, and demonstrate in the sacrifice
of the cross and the altar the realization and continuation of
alt that they offer to our faith, our hope, and our love.

From the late middle ages we distinguish in the Missa! and
the Breviary two parts—the Proper of the time (Proprium de
Tempore) and the Proper of the Saints (Proprium Sanctorum).
The Proper of the Saints is intended not to weaken nor replace
the temporal cycle, but to adorn it and give it greater variety
and grace, in the manner in which an artist would surround
the figure of Christ in the apse. of a Christian basilica with a
circle of martyrs. The Proper of the Time occupies the entire
year, so that the faithful may not simply glance at the mys-
teries, but by continuous acts of piety and practices of devotion
assimilate them and be transformed in them. The true litur-
gical cycle of the Church is represented by the Proptixm de
Tempore, which, beginning with Advent, passes through the
four weeks of expectation before Christmas, through tie
Epiphany, the forty days of Christ's fasting in the desert, the
two weeks of His Passion, the fifty days of the Paschal feasts,
and on to the Ascension and Pentecost, completing in this
Way our catechetical instruction on the mystery of Christ.

To this long cycle of fifty-two weeks, which contains the
vivid and dramatic unfolding of the whole Christian cate-
chism, it is as well to add that other sbort cycle, which, during
the course of each week, celebrates the divine masterpiece of
the six days of the Creation and draws a parallel between them
&nd the acts of grace in the regeneration of the world through
the blood of the Saviour. ]

'There remains lastly a daily cycle, which, divided into seven
periods, or, as the Breviary calls them, canonical hours,
especially commemorates each day the mysteries of the Passion
and death of our Saviour. This last daily cycle, which is the
basis of the other two cycles, forms in its turn the setting, as
it were, of the Eucharistic sacrifice which is daily offered up
to God aS. the act of perfect worship in spirit and in truth
which redeemed humanity offers to the ever-blessed Trinity.

One only God, one only Church, one only forza of Catholic

piety, one complete whole, but with many sides; like a complex
but closely connected organism, or rather, like a harmony
produced by an infinity of sounds; we know only one devotion
which fulfils all these conditions and blends in óne harmony
theology, art, architecture, music, all that is most true, most
beautiful, and most worthy in this poor world: in a word, that
which we have from the first called jn the fullest significance
of the word—“Catholic Liturgy.”

The Sacred Liturgy from Advent to Septuagesima

First Part of the Ecclesiastical Year: 1. First Sunday of
Advent to Christmas Eve. 2. Christmas to the Octave of
the Epiphany. 3. Epiphany Octave to Septuagesima Sunday.

The essential object of the Liturgy’s yearly cycle is to adore
in spirit and in truth, to praise, to propitiate and to offer
thanksgiving to the triune God for His great glory and good-
ness. This glory and this goodness are especially manifest in
the twofold work of cosmic creation and human redemption;
hence in early times these two theophanies (divine manifesta-
tions) of the divine magnificence, while they afforded the cen-
tral theme of the Eucharistic prayer and sacrifice, likewise gave
regent to the liturgical cycle, as well for the week as for

e year. :

In the ancient Roman Liturgy, as well as that of other
churches, there were two distinct cycles, the weekly and the
yearly. The days of the week commemorate the six days of
creation, while the annual cycle celebrated the work of our
redemption. The Vesper hymns of St. Ambrose celebrate in
beautiful words the work of each day of creation. The mys-
teries fulfilled by Our Saviour in traversing the way of redemp-
tion are honored, on the other hand, by a succession of feasts,
which, beginning with Advent, and going on tc Christmas,
Lent, Easter and the twenty-four Sundays after Pentecost,
embraces the whole year, and always maintains a wonderful
harmony. between the logical order of ideas and the chrono-
logical sequence of events. The weekly cycle recalls the work
of God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Ghost;
that of the year deals rather with our salvation and our last
end, but both the one and the other have as their permanent
objective the glorifying of God in His manifestations of power
and of love,

1. Advent

From the stem of Jesse, according to the prophecy of Isaias,
there came forth a most fair flower, and that flower was Christ.
It is therefore only natural that there should be a continuity
between the liturgy of the synagogue and that of the Christian
faith. The authority of Imperial Rome even confused the
Christians with the Jews; during the transitional period the
Christian family, presenting the outward and legal appearance
of & Jewish community, borrowed therefrom likewise various
liturgical usages which still form part of her Sacred patrimony,

http://ccwatershed.org

ECCLESIASTICAL YEAR AND SACRED LITURGY 1627

and, like her faith, are, so to speak, of the seed of Abraham and
of Israel by origin and descent. .

The Roman Advent bore a joyful character; nów we regard
this season as a penitential time, or at least, a time in which
the absence of Christ is stressed in the Liturgy. Until recent
years it was customary in the United States to fast on the
Fridays of Advent, but this is no longer done. It is a season
of preparation, because during all the years before the birth
of Our Saviour, the events of human history led up to this
central fact.

The chants of the Mass, the responsories, the antiphons of
the divine Office, all contain Alleluias. The Gloria in excelsis
is omitted from. the ferial Masses until Christmas. It would
seem that the whole of nature, looking forward, as the Apostle
describes it, to the last judgment, awaiting the revelation of
the Son of God, feels herself uplifted by the Incarnation of the
Word of God, Who after so many ages of waiting, comes at
length into this world to bring His greatest handiwork to its
final perfection. The Sacred Liturgy, during this time, gathers
from the Scriptures all those passages which are most forcible
and best adapted to express the intense and joyful longing with
which the holy patriarchs, the prophets and the just men of
the Old Testament hastened by their prayers the coming of
the Son of God. We cannot do better than associate ourselves
with their pious feelings, and pray the Word made Flesh that
He will deign to be born in the hearts of all men and spread
His kingdom likewise throughout those many lands where
His holy Name has not hitherto been made known, and whose
inhabitants still sleep in darkness and the shadow of death.

2. Christmas Season

The period from Christmas to the Octave of the Epiphany is
filled with first of all the festal days commemorating the birth
of Our Saviour and His manifestation of Himself to the world,
and secondly, with the feasts of saints associated with Our
Saviour’s birth, or by tradition occupying these places in the
Cycle of the Saints. From all eternity the Son of God lived
with the Father and the Holy Ghost; on Christmas we cele-
brate the Word made Flesh, Christ born for us.

The exact day of Our Lord’s birth on earth has never been
revealed to us; but thé Roman Church has, from early ages,
set apart for its solemn celebration the twenty-fifth day of
December. In the East, however, the birthday of Our Lord
is kept on the sixth of January, and for that reason the one
and the other festival has been continued, that of December
25 as the Nativity of Our Lord, that of January 6 as His
Epiphany, or manifestation to the Gentiles.

Only on two days of the year may the priest celebrate three
Masses, on the day of the commemoration of All Souls, and
on Christmas. In the last instance, when sung, the first Mass
is appointed for midnight, the second for daybreak, the third
for the customary hour of high Mass. In the second Mass
@ commemoration is made of St. Anastasia, a holy Roman

matron, who suffered martyrdom under Diocletian (a. D. 304),
and whose feast is kept on December 25.

3. Epiphany Octave to Septuagesima Sunday

The Sundays of the year are now counted after the Epiphany
and after Pentecost. The number after the Epiphany before
Septuagesima changes according to the earlier or later date
of Easter.

Generally speaking the Sundays throughout the year had
no fixed Station, or Church at which the Pope said Mass. This
is true outside of Advent, Lent and Eastertime, except in &
feW cases such as the Second Sunday after the Epiphany.
'The Chants (Introit and other Propers) of the Third Sunday
after Epiphany are repeated on the Fourth, Fifth and Sixth
when such Sundays occur. The Epistles are taken from St.
Paul, a rule which continues until the Easter Cycle.

The Church goes back to the regular or usual order in the
Office and Mass. The green vestments are used for the Sunday
and ferial Masses. On such days a commemoration is made
of Our Blessed Lady and the prayer said is for the Church
or Pope.

The Sacred Liturgy from Septuagesima to Easter

Second Part of the Ecclesiastical Year: 1. Septuagesima
to Passion Sunday. 2. Passion Time and Holy Week.

In the Church of the Apostolic time the custom existed of
keeping a vigil each Saturday in expectation of the coming
of the Lord. Wednesday and Friday were fast days, the basis
of the liturgical week. This primitive fast and vigil was
known by the military term statio; as kept by the Christians
it was of a wholly voluntary character.

The very spirit and supernatural character of Christianity
must, even before the canons of the Councils existed, have
given rise to special observances in preparation for Easter.
Otherwise it would be difficult to explain the different rules
of the various churches in this matter. Thus, whilst originally
the fast lasted à week at Alexandria, at Rome, and in Gaul,
other churches kept as a fast only the last two days of Holy
Week, from the Lord's Supper on Maundy Thursday until
Easter morning, precisely as was done, wé are told by the
Apostle St. James the Just.

The Council of Nicza, fixed the duration of the fast at forty
days. St. Gregory introduced & three weeks' preparation for
Lent. At Jerusalem the Holy Sacrifice was not offered up on
week-days during Lent, but at Rome Mass was omitted only
on the last two days. A trace of this custom remains in the
omission of Mass on Good Friday.

At the stational Masses the Kyrie and Litany were not said;
the Litany was recited on the way from the place of the
gathering (Collecta) to the stational church, 'The Introit was,

ECCLESIASTICAL YEAR AND SACRED LITURGY 1629

however, repeated and the other ceremonies carried out. Lent
was also the preparatory period for the catechumens who were
baptized on Holy Saturday.

Nowadays the changed conditions-of social life have caused
the Church herself to introduce some minor alterations into
her rites. The preparatory ritual for catechumens has long
fallen into disuse, but this does not mean that the Lenten
liturgy has lost its living force, for even in these latter times
many souls outside the fold of the Catholic Church await the
touch of heavenly grace, and it is the duty of the Church to
hasten by her prayers the hour of their conversion—Oremus
et pro catechumenis nostris—as we are taught to say in the
Office for Good Friday. !

Lent, moreover, is the season of penitence, of amendment
of life, of preparation for Easter, and these conditions of the
spiritual pilgrimage transcend the ages and still continue the
common duty of all the faithful.

‘The holy joys of Easter will shine more radiantly and will
touch the heart of the Christian more intimately if, purified
by penance, he shall have rendered himself worthy to live
& supernatural life given entirely to God, after the likeness
of the risen Christ, of Whom St. Paul writes: “He dies once;
but in that He liveth, He liveth unto God." :

The Sacred Liturgy During the Easter Cycle

Third Part of the Ecclesiastical Year: 1. Easter to Pente-
cost. 2. Time after Pentecost. ;

Following the death of Christ on the Cross, which paid the
penalty for our sins, the Church knowing that this death was
for our redemption, remembers even the crown of thorns as a
crown of glory. After contemplating Christ upon the cross we
now eagerly await His rising from the dead. When two days
have passed the time comes at last for this poor weakened
humanity, torn and bruised in the divine person of the Cruci-
fied, having now made fitting satisfaction to God for its sins,
to be restored to its former honorable state. Jesus on the cross
yields himself up into the hands of the Father. The Father
accepts the offering—a, lifeless body covered with wounds and
bruises—and pressing it to His heart, warms it with the fire
of His very being, and communicates to it His own divine life.
Jesus rises again from death at the dawn of the third day,
and as He had associated the entire human race with Himself
in His atonement, so now He shares His triumph with His
whole mystical body ón Whom He, as head, sheds the glory
of His resurrection.

The Eastertime proper extends from Easter Saturday to
Pentecost. Sunday. In the United States the period allowed
for fulfilling the precept of Easter Communion extends from
the first Sunday of Lent to Trinity Sunday. The prayers and
masses of this season are all joyful; the Alleluia is restored to
the Liturgy and repeated many times. Instead of the Asperges,
the Vidi aguam recalling the baptism of the neophytes is
sung before the principal mass on Sundays. The paschal candle

is given an honored place for it symbolizes the presence of
Christ on earth; it is extinguished on Ascension Day. The
feasts of Eastertime are chiefly those of martyrs who straight-
way after death are admitted into Heaven.

The Sacred Liturgy During the Time After
Pentecost

After Pentecost, the work of the regeneration of the human
race has reached its highest point. Christ and the Paraclete
live and dwell within the hearts of the faithful, who are thus
able to render to the august Triad that perfect adoration in
spirit and in truth which alone the Father desires. This is the
profound significance of the feast of the most holy Trinity
which closes the Octave of Pentecost, and begins the cycle of
the twenty-four weeks or so which elapse between Trinity
Sunday and Advent. This long cycle, which comprises nearly
half the liturgical year, represents the. daily history of the
Church throughout the ages, a history which begins with the
first Christian Pentecost, celebrated by the Apostles in the
Upper Room, and which comes to a close with the coming of
Christ as Judge, in His second Advent at the end of the world.
This is the inner meaning of the two Gospel passages concern-
ing the end of the world and the appearance of the divine
Judge which the Liturgy causes to be read on the last Sunday
after Pentecost and on the first Sunday in Advent.

During the cycle of the Sundays after Pentecost the marks
of the Church, one, holy, catholic and apostolic in her being
and in her life, are magnificently expressed in her Liturgy.
Through the. reading of the Epistles of the Princes of the
Apostles, Peter and Paul, we experience over again their
preaching and realize that the edifice of our faith rests on
that one prophetic and apostolic foundation upon which
Christ has built His Church. The history of the early Church
contains also the forecast of that which the life of Christ’s
flock was to be in the ages to come.

€xplanation of the Liturgy of the Proper of Time
l FIRST SUNDAY OF ADVENT

Station at St. Mary Major?

The Roman Missal to-day begins the liturgical cycle. The
Incarnation is the true central point which divides the course
of the ages, By the perlod of preparation called Advent, the
ages before Christ and leading us to His birth are recalled;

‘Indulgences can be gained on those days on which in the
Roman Missal the Mass is noted for a station. These indul-
£ences can be gained outside of Rome by the members of cer-
tain confraternities; thus all members of the Confraternity of
Christian Doctrine who on these days teach, or superintend
the teaching of Christian Doctrine can gain these indulgences;
they can also be gained by any of the faithful who assist at
ihe explanation of the Catechism.

ECCLESIASTICAL YEAR AND SACRED LITURGY 1631

following the feast of Christmas the great events in the life
of Christ and the ages that lead toward the final judgment
are kept in mind. The Missal, therefore, is logical and
corresponds closely to this lofty concept of history, by which
the Incarnation is made the true central event in the world’s
drama. The early Christians began their liturgical cycle with
the festival of Christmas; the present arrangement came into
use towards the middle of the fifth century.

The spirit of the sacred Liturgy during Advent, full of the
joyful announcement of approaching freedom, is one of holy
enthusiasm, tender gratitude, and an intense longing for the
coming of the Word of God in the hearts of all the children
of Adam.

The Introit gives eloquent expression to the feelings of
humanity, cast down, yet full of hope, and begs the Saviour
to bring it back into the path which leads to Bethlehem, along
the way of truth and justice. The Epistle calls upon us after
our period of slackness and spiritual lethargy to rouse from
sleep. The Church in the Gospel connects the second coming
of Our Lord at the end of the world with his first appearance
at Bethlehem as Our Redeemer. At one time the Dies iræ, dies
illa, now used in masses for the dead, was sung on this day
before the Gospel.

Man is made up of spirit and flesh, and whilst the former

desirous of being drawn towards truth and love, the latter

inderstands only such good or evil as can be perceived by the

senses, and must therefore be held in check by penance and by
a salutary fear of the judgments of almighty God.

The indulgences of the Roman Stations are:
Plenary Indulgence (under the usual conditions).

1. To those who on the day of a Station devoutly visit the
Church and assist at functions morning or evening, accord
ing to the local custom or the instruction of the Pope. .

2. If there be no public services in the Church, by saying
before the Blessed Sacrament the Our Father, Hail Mary
and Glory be to the Father, five times; adding the Our
Father, Hail Mary and Glory be to the Father, three times

. before any relics set out for veneration, and the Our Father,
Hail Mary and Glory be to the Father, at least once for the
intention of the Pope.

Partial Indulgence of ten years to all members who make a
visit to the Church and recite the prayers above. (Pius XI,
April 12, 1932; cfr. Sacr. Peenit., Feb. 25, 1933.)

THE SECOND SUNDAY OF ADVENT
Station at Holy Cross in Jerusalem

After Bethlehem and the manger comes Golgotha with the
cross already shining far off over the peaceful country of
Ephrata, where the Incarnate Word first appeared upon earth.
‘The station is therefore at the Sessorian Basilica—the Roman
counterpart of the Martyrdom at Jerusalem. Here was kept

the holy cross which the Empress Helena had presented to
the. Church in Rome. Many allusions are made to-day to
Jerusalem in the Liturgy.

The Prayer is inspired by the famous cry of the. Baptist,
“Prepare ye the way of the Lord;" so we pray to God to pour
His grace into our hearts. This preparation consists in the
spirit of contrition purifying the soul and in the sincere pur-
pose of obedience to the divine precepts.

In the Epistle-St. Paul in a few touches sketches the mission
of the Redeemer to establish all mankind in one single family,
the Church. The Gospel testifies to the divinity of Christ by
deeds rather than by words. un

The Eucharistic grace for which we beg in the Post-Com-
munion is that the holy bread, the memorial of the death of
Our Lord, may destroy in us the germs of evil and may nourish
us unto everlasting life. i

THE THIRD SUNDAY OF ADVENT

Station a£ St, Peter's

In Rome on the fourth Sunday of Advent there was no
station—because of the great ordinations of priests and dea-

cons, mense Decembri, which took place on the preceding f

night—-hence this third station preparatory to Christmas
was celebrated at St. Peter’s with great splendor.

The stational Mass for this day, as it immediately precedi
the Christmas season, had originally a strikingly festive char,
acter. We know the novenas and triduums in preparation fo

the greater feasts are of later origin, and in the golden age of |

the Liturgy these weeks before Easter and Christmas, with
their vigiliary Masses and stational synaxes at the most famous
basilicas of the Eternal City, were intended to prepare the
souls of the faithful and to obtain for them from heaven the
grace to profit by the various solemnities of the liturgical cycle.

The note of joy has diminished somewhat in modern times;
however, at the Mass the sacred ministers are clothed in rose-
colored vestments in place of the customary ones of violet,
and the organ once again fills the aisles with its strains.

To dispose our souls for the worthy reception of divine grace
demands suitable preparation before approaching the sacra-
ments, by giving due care to prayer and meditation. Wholly
immersed in vain and worldly desires Jerusalem was indeed
ill-prepared to see the King of Glory in the Man of Sorrows.
Ritual and external practices of worship are praiseworthy and
necessary, but preparation for the right use of grace is some-
thing far more searching and needful.

WEDNESDAY IN EMBER WEEK

Collecta a£ the Title of Eudoxia. Station at St. Mary Major

The solemn fast of the three days in Ember Week originally
peculiar to the Roman Church, was afterwards borrowed
by the other Latin dioceses. St. Leo I explains the Ember
Days saying that especially at the end of the year it js fittinz

that we dedicate the first fruits to the Divine Providence.
An ancient tradition reserved the ordinations of priests and
deacons to the month of December, and the faithful—follow-
ing a custom introduced by the Apostles therhselves—felt
constrained to unite with the bishop in prayer and fasting,
in order to call down from God an abundance of priestly gifts
upon the heads of those newly chosen to minister at the altar.

Formerly, after assembling, the procession of clergy and
people, chanting the Litany, went from St. Peter in Vinculis
to St. Mary Major by way of the Suburra, the Viminal and
the Esquiline. To-day’s station—following the custom for
Ember Wednesdays—is at St. Mary Major, in order that the
new Levites may be placed under the heavenly patronage of
her whom the Fathers of the Church, sometimes call the
“virgin-priest,” in whose temple the Incarnate Word Himself
was anointed priest by the divine Paraclete.

Originally, on the days of the stational processions, when
the great. Litany was sung on the way, the Introit was omitted,
and the Pope, on reaching the church, recited the Prayer after
the last Kyrie. The deacon first invited the faithful to pros-
trate themselves so that they might pray for a while in secret—
Flectamus genua; then, after a few moments spent in prayer,
he gave the signal to get up again, and the Pontiff summed up
the petitions of the assembly in a brief formula—collecta—and
presented them to God. fo Fe

FRIDAY IN EMBER WEEK
Collecta at St. Mark’s. Station ai the Twelve Holy Apostles

"The collecta, or place of assembly, whence the stational pro-
cession used on this day to start on its way to the Apostoleion,
must have been in the ancient titular Church of St. Mark
in Pallacinis, which is quite near by.

The station preceding the solemn ordinations in Rome is
always at the Church of the Twelve Holy Apostles, partly in
homage to the holy Apostles whose mission to evangelize the
world is to be carried on by the Levites of to-morrow, and
partly on account of the great celebrity to which this venerable
basilica attained under Julius I and John III.

The Mass is once again an impassioned longing of the soul
for the coming Emmanuel. Isaias speaks in the Epistle, and
describes for us in glowing colors the future emancipator of
Israel. The Gospel narrates the visitation when Mary begins
her works as the dispenser of grace. She visits the house of
Elizabeth ‘and Jesus sanctifies John in his mother’s womb.
Thus is John the first among the saints to owe all his gifts
of grace to Mary, and there, under the humble roof of Zacha-
rias, is sung for the first time that sublime canticle, the Mag-
nificat, Which shall form the dedication hymn of the first

church of Our Lady, and shall be the daily prayer of the
Church through all the ages.

The coming of the Incarnate Word inaugurates a new era.
We are brought into this new kingdom by the Sacrament of
Redemption. We pray Our Lord that the sacred outpouring of
the chalice of salvation, while it cleanses us from old stains,
may renew our interior life and make us partakers of the
mystery of salvation, X

SATURDAY IN EMBER WEEK
Station at St. Peter's

In the first ages ordinations took place in Rome only in the
month of December, usually at the tomb of St. Peter. The
Pope alone inherits the plenitude of St. Peter’s primacy, and
in the Twelfth Century it came to be the rule that the papal
consecration alone was carried out at the altar over the tomb
of the Apostle.

The long Mass contains the traces of the fast which began
after supper on Friday and lasted until the dawn of Sunday;
in that period there was no Mass on Saturday. St. Gregory
shortened the primitive vigil and the Mass assumed the form
in which we have it to-day. The Mass includes the great
canticle of the Blessings which, in the earlier rite, formed the
morning doxology. According to the Pontifical now in use,
Tonsure is conferred after the Kyrie Eleison; the ordination
of Porters follows the first lesson; of Readers, the second; of
Exorcists, the third; of Acolytes, the fourth; of sub-deacons,
the fifth. Deaconship is conferred at the end of the Epistle;
the priesthood is conferred after the first versicle of the Tract.

Christianity came into a world in which events were care~
fully noted; the oriental religions arose in a primitive world
lost in the haze of primitive barbarism. It is for this reason
that St. Luke begins the narrative of the Gospel of Jesus with
chronological notes concerning the rulers who were then con-
trolling the destinies of Palestine. `

The Messias assumes the consoling name of Emmanuel, God
with us. The Word Himself will soon come to make His dwell-
ing-place amongst us and to redeem us, and, in order to show
by His very name all this merciful plan of salvation, He. will
be called Emmanuel and Jesus—that is, Saviour.

FOURTH SUNDAY OF ADVENT
Station at the Twelve Holy Apostles

When the vigils were kept there was no station because the
Mass of this Sunday concluded the night vigil at St. Peter's.
When this vigil was shortened the second Mass was introduced
at the basilica of the Holy Apostles. This accounts for the
use of the same Gospel as in the Mass of Saturday.

A Roman tradition attributed the compilation of the Grego-
rian Antiphonary to the inspiration of the Holy Ghost. Conse~
quently this work was deemed to be intangible, so no altera-
tions nor additions could be permitted. Hence the chants of
to-day’s Mass were borrowed from other preceding Masses, 50

ECCLESIASTICAL YEAR AND SACRED LITURGY 1635

that the fourth Sunday of Advent possesses nothing peculiar
to itself save the Offertory, the Epistle and the three Prayers.

The Offertory is from St. Luke and repeats the gracious
salutation of the Angel to Mary, interwoven with the blessings
addressed to her by Elizabeth. The history of the prayer Ave
Maria, so dear to the piety of the faithful, and grown so
familiar to us especially through the rosary, begins with this
splendid Gregorian Offertory which gives us the text of the
Ave in its original form as it was used throughout the Middle
Ages. The Holy Mary has been added at a later time out of
that Christian piety of the time of the first. Franciscans dis-
tinguished by its tender love for the Blessed Virgin.

During Advent the Church surrounds the Immaculate
Mother of God with special devotion, because she, during the
nine months in which she bore Our Lord in.her womb, made
it her first thought to sanctify by her love, her humility, her
entire consecration to Jesus, this period of glad expectancy
and of preparation for the birth of the Son of God.

DECEMBER 24—CHRISTMAS EVE
Station at St. Mary Major

It was only when Our Lord's nativity was celebrated with
increasing solemnity that a special Mass was said on this vigil.
The actual solemnity of December 25, instead of consisting of
two Masses, one of the vigil and the other of the feast, with
a third inserted in commemoration of St. Anastasia, ended by
allowing four Masses, all of them in honor of the Christian
mystery—viz., one in the evening of December 24 at the begin~
ning of the night Office, one at midnight at the first cock-
crowing, one in the early morning, and one, finally, at the
hour of Terce.

Unlike the other vigils, in which the penitential character
and a sense of sadness predominate, that of Christmas, is full
of vivacity and holy joy. This is fully in accordance with the
nature of the heart of man. After so long a period of anxious
and painful expectation the sudden news of our approaching
deliverance lightens the heart, while a common joy unites us
and makes us forget for a moment the hard conditions of
our life here below.

DECEMBER 25—CHRISTMAS DAY
The First Mass—at Midnight. b Station at St. Mary at the
ri

The feast of Christmas was from the first a feast of the
Apostolic See. The fixation of the date resulted from the
separation by the Roman Church of the celebration of Our
Savior's birth from that of His other great manifestation now
placed on the Epiphany. f

The characteristic feature of the feast of Christmas in the
Roman rite is the custom of the three Masses, one at the
first cock-crowing—ad, galli cantum—the next at dawn, the
third in broad daylight. St. Gregory bears witness to the

http://ccwatershed.org

1686 ECCLESIASTICAL YEAR AND SACRED LITURGY

custom, but it is certainly older than his time, for the biog-
rapher of Pope Telesphorus, in the Liber Pontificalis, claims
that it was this latter Pontiff who first introduced the singing
of the Gloria in excelsis into the midnight Mass at Christmas.
The Mass at midnight recalls’ the circumstance that Christ
was born in Bethlehem at midnight. n ~

The midnight Mass commemorates the eternal birth of the
Word of God amid the magnificence of His Father’s glory; the
Mass at dawn celebrates His appearance in time in the hu-
mility of the flesh, and lastly, the third Mass, at St. Peter’s,
symbolizes His final coming on the day of judgment, to judge
both the living and the dead. :

In order to reproduce in liturgical form at Rome, as at
Jerusalem, the scene of the Savior's birth, Pope Sixtus III
(432-40) had erected in St. Mary Major a sumptuous oratory
&t the crib, and one which was considered by the Romans to
be a copy of the original at Bethlehem. —— . :

At the foot of the crib we say to the Christ Child in the
ian of St. Alphonsus “Ah, how much it has cost Thee to
love us!” : : `

The Second Mass—at Dawn.. Station at St. Anastasia

Originally, the stational Mass at St. Anastasia was wholly
in honor of the martyr of that name, but later on, as the feast
of Christmas gradually gained in importance, tbat of St.
Anastasia dwindled down to à commemorative Collect. Under
the Diocletian persecution this holy martyr was burnt alive
on this day. The mystical meaning attached by medieval
liturgists to the hour of dawn had no foundation in the
Roman custom. . i

This Mass draws lis chief inspiration from the thought of
the sun, whose rising already begins to dispel the shades of
night and leads us to the contemplation of Him who was be-
gotten, Light of Light, from the bosom of the divine Father
before the rising of the day-star. :

Generosity, magnificence and light, these are always the
marks of God's handiwork. Sin is generally committed in
darkness and in secret, for the wicked hate the light, but the
Redemption is wrought upon Calvary in sight of the whole
world, so that all people, through the light of faith, may
recognize and adore the crucified Savior.

The Third Mass—in Daylight. Station at St. Mary Major
. (at one time at St. Peter's)

‘The shortness of the winter days and the difficulty of going
in procession to the Vatican lead to the substitution of St.
Mary Major as the stational Church instead of St. Peter’s. In
the Middle Ages the Pope celebrated Mass in the great hall of
Sicininus with unusual ceremony and great solemnity.

The Introit is from Isaias: “Behold a child is born to us,
and a son is given to us," Who, notwithstanding the infinite
nothingness to which He stoops, is God eternal, the creator
of the universe, Who rules and governs all things in the power.
of His Word, and upon Whose shoulder rests the divine and

universal monarchy. . He, as the brightness and express image
of the Father, will reveal Him to men, and will be to them the
envoy of the Most Holy Trinity, the angel or messenger of
the glad tidings of redemption. :

The Gospel, from St. John contains, perhaps, the most
sublime page to be found in the whole of the Scriptures, It
speaks of the twofold begetting of the Word in His divine and
in His human nature. As the image of the supreme artificer,
the Word is at once the prototype and the pattern of all
that is created; but in Him this image is identical with His
own substance, so that all things live in Him. : :

Jesus is born of woman in order that we may one day cease
to be the children of woman and may be raised to the dignity
of sonship to almighty God. The Word joins our human nature
to His person, to make us sharers in the divine grace.

. DECEMBER 26—ST. STEPHEN, PROTO-MARTYR ..

Station at St. Stephen’s on the Coelian Hill

The feast of St. Stephen is one of the oldest in the Liturgy.
The greatest saints, that would appear, wish to gather around
the cradles of the Christ-Child as if to give additional grand-
eur, The Church of St. Stephen on the Celian Hill was finished
only under John I (523-26).

In the Prayer we pray to God that we may imitate the
example of Stephen, not only by forgiving our enemies, but
by even loving them and asking for them the grace of
conversion.

The Lesson or Reading in the Mass contains the trial of
Stephen as preserved in the Acts of the Apostles, along with
the account of his martyrdom.

Stephen is not only a martyr; he is one of the most
striking personages of the apostolic age; so much so that
the Greeks give him the title of Apostle, so the Roman Liturgy
places him in the category of the prophets, doctors and mas-
ters, whose cruel fate is described to us in the Gospel for
to-day.

On this day, then, let us beg, through the intercession of
St. Stephen, the grace of fortitude, which is one of the seven
gifts of the Holy Ghost.

DECEMBER 27—ST. JOHN, APOSTLE AND EVANGELIST
Station at St. Mary Major

The feast of St. John is the only feast of an apostle now
remaining in the Christmas cycle. The station is at St. Mary
Major, dedicated to the Savior; this basilica seemed the most
suitable place for the celebration of the Christmas station
in honor of St. John to whom the Blessed Virgin had been
entrusted, both on account of the Savior’s crib there pre-
served, and of the mosaics of Sixtus I commemorating the
Council of Ephesus, held near the tomb of the Evangelist,

The Gradual is drawn from that passage of St. John’s
Gospel in which reference is made to the popular belief

http://ccwatershed.org

1688 ECCLESIASTICAL YEAR AND SACRED LITURGY

current in the first generation of Christians in Asia that
the beloved disciple should not die before the parousia or
last coming of Christ. The advanced age of the Apostle,
on the other hand, seemed to lend credit to this opinion. So
St. John, in the very last chapter of his Gospel, desired—as
a sort of final postscript—to rectify this erroneous inter-
pretation of the Savior's words. “So I will have him to remain
till I come, what is it to thee?” The words were uttered by
Our Lord merely as an hypothesis. “So (if) I will"; but in the
several oral versions of the episode the conditional and hypo-
thetical particle "if" was easily passed over; hence St. John
felt the necessity of explaining the misunderstanding and
setting the matter right.

DECEMBER 28—THE HOLY INNOCENTS
Station at St. Paul's

The relics of the Holy Innocents are said to have been
preserved in the splendid church of St. Paul's; the station
of to-day, however, was determined by the delicate feeling
of the ancient liturgy that the great solemnities of the year
should always be celebrated by a station at the tombs of SS.
Peter and Paul.

At a very early date the feast of the Holy Innocents mas-
Sacred by Herod out of fear of Him who was born King of
the Jews, was placed near the feast of Christmas; hence in
Rome this day was observed as a day of mourning and pen-
ance. Purple vestments were used and the faithful abstained
from fiesh meat and foods cooked in fats. The fast, however,
is no longer observed.

The .Gospel describes the flight of the Holy Family into
Egypt and the massacre of the Innocents. How short-sighted
is human scheming! At the very time that it tries to thwart
the designs of almighty God, it is just then that it merely
serves them the better. Herod is desirous of slaying the new-
born Messias; this he fails to do, but sends instead a number
of innocent babes into Limbo, there to proclaim His coming,
cx tae Savior goes forth to enlighten and to bless the land
of Egypt.

DECEMBER 31—ST. SYLVESTER, POPE AND
CONFESSOR

Station at the Cemetery of Priscilla

To-day’s station was celebrated in the Via Salaria, at ihe
Basilica of St. Sylvester in the cemetery of Priscilla, where
the great Pontiff of the Church's triumphant peace lay resting
beside the martyrs Felix and Philip, two of the sons of St.
Felicitas, and at a short distance from Pope Marcellus and
the martyr Crescentian. St. Gregory the Great delivered one
of his forty homilies there; indeed, for many centuries that
spot was the goal of pious pilgrims when visiting the holy
Places of the Eternal City.

St, Sylvester was one of the very earliest saints to receive
public veneration, even though he was not a martyr, but only

http://ccwatershed.org

ECCLESIASTICAL YEAR AND SACRED LITURGY 1639

a confessor crowned by the Lord, by reason of his exile in the
caves of Soracte. This title prope martyribus, joined to his
extraordinary personal virtues and to the circumstance of his
having inaugurated a new era of splendor and prosperity
for the Church, availed to surround the brow of Sylvester with
the aureole of the blessed and make his name famous even in
the far-off East. Legendary fancy did not fail to take advan-
tage of the popularity of the great Pontiff: thus he became
the destroyer of the famous dragon which used to poison the
air with its breath, a curious but very impressive figure of the
Church's victory over idolatry.

JANUARY 1—OCTAVE OF CHRISTMAS: FEAST OF
THE CIRCUMCISION
Station at St. Mary in Trastevere

The Roman Calendars originally made no mention of the
Circumcision .which came in through the influence of the
Gallican Liturgies. Rome preferred to solemnize the eighth
day after the Nativity of Our Lord.

The Mass and Office for to-day’s feast show a mixed char-
acter, At first it was merely a question of the Octave of Our
Lord; then, in connection with the Basilica of Our Lady,
where the station was held, a special commemoration of the
virginal motherhood of Mary Most Holy was inserted, the
Circumcision and Presentation in the Temple being after-
wards added, although this last, doubtless through Byzantine
influence, was afterwards expunged from the office of January
1, so that it should be celebrated on February 2.

The grand Post-Communion, terse and forcible, yet per-
fectly balanced and rhythmical, implores through the prayers
of Mary our purification from sin and our attainment of
celestial bliss. :

Jesus in heaven, in the essential brightness of His glory, is
seated at the right hand of the Father, but here below his
more fitting throne of mercy and grace is in the bosom of the
Virgin who holds Him a little babe in her arms.

JANUARY 5—VIGIL OF THE EPIPHANY
Station at St. Peter's

The festive character which originally pervaded the whole
fortnight after Christmas Day necessarily forbade the keeping
of this vigil, which, however elaborate, must always bear a
penitential character. When, about the Eighth Century, the
stational afternoon Mass was introduced, it was assigned to
the Vatical Basilica, whither the Pope was accustomed to
repair from the Lateran on that afternoon with his Court
for the celebration of Vespers and of the Night Office, This
explains why the station is noted in the Missal as being at
the Basilica of St. Peter on two days in succession,

In the Holy Family of Nazareth authority and personal
dignity are seen in inverse order. Jesus is the last in the
house and is obedient to all. Mary, indeed, commands her

1640 ECCLESIASTICAL YEAR AND SACRED LITURGY

üivine Son, but yields obedience to Joseph; and be, out of
Obedience to the eternal Father who so ordains it, serves both
Jesus and Mary, giving them commands, thus setting an
example of the manner in which all prelates and superiors
should act in the Church of God.

JANUARY 6—THE EPIPHANY OF OUR LORD
Station at St. Peter's

Epiphany means “appearance” or “manifestation,” and
among the Eastern Christian had originally the same sig-
nificance as Christmas in Rome, It was the festival of the
eternal Word, clothed in the flesh, revealing Himself to man-
kind. Three different phases of this historical manifestion
were especially venerated—viz., the adoration of the Magi
at Bethlehem, 'the changing of the water into wine at Cana,
and the baptism of Jesus in the Jordan.

The station at St. Peter's is inspired by the same thought
as that of Christmas Day. In Rome the greater festivals are
celebrated at the Pastor Ecclesice whose basilica is the sheep-
fold of the Roman flock.

The interior life of a Christian is the reproduction of the
life of Jesus; thus the object of the Church in placing before
us the annual cycle of feasts is not merely to commemorate
the great historical epochs in the history of our redemption,
but also to reproduce in our souls their spiritual teaching.
Hence in the Night Office of this feast of the Epiphany we
do not so much adore the Christ who showed Himself twenty
centuries ago to the Magi, but rather the Christ who has re-
vealed Himself to us, too, who are now living.

SUNDAY WITHIN THE OCTAVE OF THE EPIPHANY
Station at the Title of Pammachius

On the day following the Epiphany the station was on the
Celian Hill where once the martyrs John and Paul were
beheaded and buried; about the Eighth Century it was trans-
ferred to the Sunday. The Octave of the Epiphany, repeating
the same mass each day, is of comparatively late origin.

The Prayer is one of the most beautiful in the Missal. In
this true theological gem we pray God of His heavenly mercy
to grant the prayers of His suppliant people that they may
not only see by the divine light that which they ought to do,
but may also have strength to carry it out.

SECOND SUNDAY AFTER THE EPIPHANY
Station at St. Eusebius

The ordinary Sundays of the year are never characterized
by any stational solemnity. This Sunday, counted either
from Christmas or from the Epiphany in ancient Lection-
aries, is an exception. Why this day was chosen for a station
we do not know. Possibly on one of the days following the
Epiphany there was a procession at St. Eusebius and when
this procession was abandoned the station was transferred to

e Sunday.

http://ccwatershed.org

ECCLESIASTICAL YEAR AND SACRED LITURGY 1641

.The Communion tells of the miraculous changing of the
Water into wine and. of the surprise of the ruler of the
feast, and. brings out fully the meaning of the miracle by
connecting it with the Holy Eucharist. Our Lord has kept the
good wine until now because only in this last age of the world,
ihe Messianic age, as St. John calls it, has He given to men
the good wine of His Blood in the Blessed Sacrament. Fur-
thermore, the sweetness of the holy love of God is an inebri-
ating draught which He keeps until the last. for those who

serve Him faithfully. ^

SEPTUAGESIMA SUNDAY .
Station at St. Lawrence-without-the-Walls

. The Eastern usage regarded Saturday and Sunday as fes-
tival days, and therefore as exempt from the Lenten fast;
S0, in order to complete the forty days of Lent, the Greeks
anticipated the penitential season by some weeks, and from
this Sunday onward abstained from the use of meat. Among
the Latins four days had to be supplied making Lent begin on
Ash Wednesday; the piety of the more devout wished for
something more. St. Gregory therefore instituted, or at least
gave definite form to, a cycle of three weeks’ preparation for
Lent, with three solemn stations at the patriarchal Basilicas
of St. Lawrence, St. Paul, and St. Peter, as though to: begin
the Easter fast.under the auspices of the three great patrons
of the Eternal City. :

From this. Sunday until Maundy Thursday the Gloria in
excelsis is omitted in masses of the season. The Collect,
which immediately follows the litany (at present the Kyrie)
on days of fasting and penance, truly represents, therefore,
the ordinary and normal form of the litany as used in the
ancient liturgy of the Mass and of the Divine Office.

The fruit of to-day’s meditation on the Epistle of St. Paul
and on the parable of the vineyard is the uncertainty of
eternal’salvation: It is not enough for us to have been bap-
tized or called to a holy state; it is necessary to labor diligently
and imitate the chosen few, that is, the saints and martyrs.

SEXAGESIMA SUNDAY
Station at St, Paul

To-day’s Mass at the Basilica of St. Paul combines a
melancholy strain of penitence with notes of rejoicing in
honor of the Apostle of the Gentlies, i

The Epistle describes vividly the incredible trial endured
by St. Paul in his apostolate among the Gentiles. The par-
able of the sower related in the Gospel, is aptly chosen by the
Church for this feast of the Apostle Paul, who scattered the
seed of the good tidings from Damascus and Arabia in the
east even unto the Pillars of Hercules in the west.

Many are the evils that threaten our eternal salvation in
the midst of the world; the. good seed falls on the highway,
but its growth is prevented in many ways. Each one of us

http://ccwatershed.org

1642 ECCLESIASTICAL YEAR AND SACRED LITURGY

should resolve at the foot of the altar to make use, as St,
Paul would have us do, of every means to ensure our final
salvation, What shall it profit us to gain the whole world,
if by so doing, we imperil our own soul?

QUINQUAGESIMA SUNDAY
Station at St. Peter

Having assured ourselves by the stations at St. Lawrence
and St. Paul on the two preceding Sundays of the patronage
of these saints we go to-day to the Basilica of St. Peter and
on next Sunday to that of the Holy Savior in order to com-
mence with full confidence the holy cycle of penance. On
‘Wednesday of this week the Church begins the Lenten fast.

In the Epistle, St. Paul attempts to raise a corner of the
veil which hides the Eternal Love from the eyes of mortals.
God is the primary and immediate object of the precept. of
charity, as He is the final end to which the creature tends.
Nevertheless, the Apostle dwells rather upon His illuminative
intercourse with men, in so far as they are created in His like-
ness and are the mystical members of Christ.

The Gospel gives us the definite announcement of the ap-
proaching Passion of Our Lord. The miracle of the blind man
confirms the wavering faith of the disciples. Even the
Apostles did not yet understand the mystery of the cross;
how necessary, then, is it for us to meditate upon Christ
crucified, lest we should fail in a matter of the highest moment,
towards which the whole of our spiritual life should be di-
rected—that is, the mystery of expiation through suffering,

THE LENTEN LITURGY AT ROME*

From the time of the Apostles two weekly fasts, Wednesday
and Friday, were regarded as the principal foundation of the
liturgical week. In the third century in Rome the fast was
Poona a for three weeks, It was the example of Our Lord's

orty days' fast in the desert which lmpelled the. Fathers at
the Council of Nicæa to fix the duration of the fast ordained
by them at exactly forty days. Through many centuries
almost down to our time, Lent was regarded as the support
of Christian training, the “truce of God,” during which period
even the law-courts and the places of amusement were
closed, the whole body of the faithful put aside all other
concerns, and endeavored by practices of penaner and by
liturgical instruction to renew their spiritual energy in order
to Tine to a holier life with Christ risen and triumphant over

eath,

At Jerusalem, Lent began eight weeks before Easter, a
custom which was imitated to a certain degree by the Latins,
when they, too, began the fast on the Wednesday of Quin-
quagesima—afterwards known as Ash Wednesday—in order
to make up the four days lacking to thelr Lenten fast of

Archbishop of Milan.

ECCLESIASTICAL YEAR AND SACRED LITURGY 1643

thirty-six days. The very first idea of a penitential period.
in preparation for Easter seems to have arisen with regard
to the catechumens, who prepared themselves by. prayer and.
fasting to receive holy baptism on the night before Easter.

Ash Wednesday has now for many centuries marked the
beginning of the venerable solemnities of the fast, but in the
Roman Liturgy it is still possible to discern through subse-
quent changes different formulas for the beginning of Lent,
which at various times superseded one another. Three weeks
before Easter the Pope wearing his crown (regnum), as on all
great festivals, passed from the Lateran to the stational
basilica of Santa Croce in Gerusalemme, carrying in his hand
& golden rose sprinkled with balsam, which he afterwards
presented to the prefect of the city.

In the time of St. Gregory the Great the paschal fast began
on the first Monday of Lent, so in reality only thirty-six days
were devoted to rigorous penance. This Pope also reorgan-
ized the stational functions in Rome. The people were accus-
tomed to assemble at a certain church and await the arrival.
of the Pope; a prayer (collecta) was said, and then the pro-
cession moved to the stational church where Mass was said.
This was usually late in the day, for it was the custom not to:
take either food of drink until sunset. The season of Lent
was also the time in which the catechumens were prepared.
for baptism; at the beginning of Lent their names were given
to the bishop and later the great scrutiny was held.

ASH WEDNESDAY
Privileged Major Feria
Collecta at St. Anastasia. Station at St. Sabina

Since the time of St. Gregory this day has inaugurated at
Rome the forty holy days of Lent, and was called in capite
jejunii, The canonical penance imposed on public penitents.
began on this day. In the rite of the blessing of the ashes,
& last trace remains of the ceremony of the imposition of
canonical penance on. public penitents. Towards the Eleventh
Century the disciplinary rule of public penance being done
away with, instead of the penitents of former days, the Pope,
the clergy, and the Roman people took part indiscriminately
in this function, and began to walk barefoot, with . ashes
sprinkled on their heads, to the Basilica of St. Sabina.

The collecta or assembly of the people was at the church
of St. Anastasia, where the ashes were imposed on the. heads.
of the clergy and people. They then proceded up the Aven-
tine Hill to the little church founded or rebuilt under Celestine
I (423-32) by an Illyrian priest by the name of Peter and
called by the name Sabina even before the relies of the
martyred St. Sabina were brought thither from the area
Vindiciani, i

The rubric prescribes that the ashes blessed on this day
be obtained by the burning of the palms, or green branches,
blessed on the Palm Sunday of the preceding year.

THURSDAY AFTER ASH WEDNESDAY

Collecta at St. Nicholas in Carcere. Station at St. George
: in Velabro

The Basilica of St. Nicholas stands in the ancient forum
olitorium near the theatre of Marcellus; during the Middle
Ages it was raised to the status of a deaconry. -

The station at St. George's was instituted by St. Gregory
II (715-31), when the cultus of the great Cappadocian martyr
had become exceedingly popular in Rome. A titular church
&lready existed here in 482, as an inscription of that date
‘mentions an Augustus lector de Belabru, but the dedication
to St. George was certainly of later date. .

To-day’s Gospel, telling of the centurion of "Capharnaum,
alludes to the military character ascribed by tradition to St.
George, which caused him to be specially invoked during the
Middle Ages as the armed champion of the Christian family.

The Mass is a call to penance. The Lesson from Isaias
recalls the warning given to Ezechias of his approaching
death; the thought of death is a powerful inducement to us
to change our mode of life. If we would only realize that the
moment of our passing from this world to eternity may come
unawares, we would implore earnestly a space of time in
which to do penance, and resolve to lead a good life.

FRIDAY AFTER ASH WEDNESDAY

Collecta a£ Santa Lucia in Septizonio. Station at Sts. John
and Paul

Santa Lucia in Septizonio is an ancient deaconry which
stood at the southern corner of the Palatine, near the Sep-
tizonium of Septimius Severus.

The stational Ms S was on the Celian Hill, in the Basilica
of Bizante, erected by that senator and his son Pammachíus
within the house of SS, John and Paul. The two martyrs had
suffered death on this spot for the faith, and had been secretly
buried in a crypt. They were thus the only Roman martyrs
buried in the very heart of the Eternal City. .

The Mass sets forth the emptiness of external ceremonies
where these are not accompanied by an internal spirit of true
repentance. . The Gospel sets forth the Christian law of love
and good-will toward our neighbor. To return the courtesy of
others with equal grace is a rule of good manners that even
pagans may practice, but in order to be able to pardon injuries,

to do good without hope of return, we need the example, the
command, and the grace of Jesus Christ,

many other relics of early martyrs, a large portion of the
gridiron on which St. Lawrence was burnt is preserved in the
Spacious basilica, consecrated by Pope Celestine III jn 1196.

Clement VIII the building being in & ruinous condition, both
the station and the relics of Sts. Trypho, Réspicius, and
Nympha were transferred to the neighboring Church of St.
Augustine.

The Lesson of the Mass teaches that in order to receive the
divine graces, we must break the bond of sin, perform out-
ward works of mercy, and render God inward and spiritual.
worship. The choice of the Gospel has reference to the
numerous miracles obtained by the faithful at the tomb of
St. Lawrence. The Sabbath is symbolical of the peace of
God, and of the repose of the soul after the tempests of this
life. Many desire it but few attain it. He who would rest
with Christ must first climb the mount of Calvary and die
upon the cross before he can find peace in the tomb of Joseph
of Arimathea. -

FIRST SUNDAY IN LENT
Station at St. John Lateran

As to-day is not a day of fasting, there is no collecta pre-
vious to the stational procession, this procession being a rite
of a distinctly penitential character, and therefore not in
keeping with the Sunday festival

St. Peter's is the ancient liturgical cathedral of the Roman
Pontiffs, who repair there to officiate on all the great festivals,
but the habitual seat, the normal residence of the Popes, is.
the Lateran, and for this reason the Basilica Salvatoris (St.
John Lateran) can claim the title of Mother and Head of
all the churches of the city and of the world. ' `

In the Mass for this. Sunday great prominence is given to
Psalm 90 that psalm which was quoted by Satan when
tempting Our Lord. "The faithful should contemplate with
special devotion the mystery of Christ tempted in the desert,
for there is no other which shows more clearly how the divine
Providence makes even the wiles of the devil serve to our
sanctification.

Although the faithful have already been fasting for four
days, it is only to-day that the Liturgy celebrates the beginning
of Lent, for until this Sunday nothing has been changed
either in the divine Office or in the Mass. The proper Preface
and other -prayers are now used and the Lenten forms are
followed in the divine Office.

MONDAY AFTER THE FIRST SUNDAY IN LENT

Collecta at Sts. Cosmas and Damian. Station at St. Peters
Chains

Pope Felix IV (526-30) constructed the basilica. where the
collecta in honor of the two celebrated Eastern doctors takes.
place. During the Byzantine period it was held in very great
veneration, and crowds fiocked to the sanctuary of the two
martyred physicians as to a sure source of health.

1646 ECCLESIASTICAL YEAR AND SACRED LITURGY

The chains of St. Peter are preserved at the Basilica in
exsquiliis, dedicated by Sixtus III to the Apostles Peter and
Paul; the relics of the seven martyred Machabees are pre-
served under the altar. The Chains of St. Peter are kept there;
those of St. Paul are at the Ostian basilica.

The Prayer begs almighty God to illuminate our minds with
His heavenly light, so that the Lenten fast may not only
‘discipline our bodies, but may render our souls both contrite
and earnest. The Lesson from Ezechiel describes a scene
frequently reproduced in the cubicula of the ancient ceme-
teries. It teaches the docility with which the soul entrusts
itself to the care of the divine Shepherd, keeps it from all
gange, and renders it the object of his heart’s tenderest
solicitude. ] x

TUESDAY AFTER THE FIRST SUNDAY IN LENT
Collecta at St. Nicholas in Carcere. Station at St. Anastasia

In the Middle Ages the church of St. Nicholas was one
of the most central and important of the Roman churches.
"Ihe funeral ceremony of. Urban II was held here; the name
in carcere (in prison) also goes back to the Middle Ages.

St. Anastasia is commemorated in the second Mass of
Christmas; her feast at Rome is perhaps older than the feast
of Christmas itself. The church is said to mark the spot of
the martyr's dwelling; she was a holy widow martyred under
Diocletian.

The Lucernare (Psalm 140) of the Gradual is noteworthy.
In oriental liturgies.it belongs to the Night Office. We must
bear in mind that for many centuries Rome did not use the
canonical Office of Vespers, its place being taken by the
Stational Mass celebrated either during Lent or on the eve
of some solemn feast, at the very hour of sunset, when the
Eastern Church was reciting the Office of the Lucernare. We
learn from the Mass the importance of prayer and medita-
tion, and how careful should be our preparation to approach
ihe sacraments.

EMBER WEDNESDAY AFTER THE FIRST SUNDAY IN
LENT

Collecta at St. Peter ad Vincula, Station at St. Mary Major

The ancient Roman sources speak of three ember fasts,
not four. Perhaps the actual fixing of the spring ember days
in the sixth week before Easter dates from a time when the
paschal fast began only three weeks before the great festival.

It was customary at Rome on the Wednesday preceding
the ordinations of the month of March to hold the scrutinies
of the candidates for the priesthood in the Liberian Basilica
(St. Mary Major) under patronage of her whom Proculus of
Constantinople invoked in the Words: “O temple, in which
God was made a priest."

ECCLESIASTICAL YEAR AND SACRED LITURGY 1647

-The first Prayer and Lesson, in this time of fast and on
this ancient catechetical day, evoked the remembrance of
Mount Horeb where Moses dwelt for forty days, fasting and
conversing with God in order to receive from him the Tables
of the Law. The second Lesson tells of the wonder-working
bread which fortified the prophet Elias: a typé of the Euchar-
ist, the true unleavened bread of mortification which, as the
Soripture says, purifies the soul and leads it to the height of

alvary.

THURSDAY AFTER THE FIRST SUNDAY IN LENT

Collecta at St. Agatha in Monasterio. Station at
St. Lawrence in, Panisperna

The titular church of the famous deaconry of the Suburra
was dedicated to the Sicilian martyr Agatha; in the eighth
century a monastery was attached to it.

St. Lawrence in Panisperna on the Viminal marks the spot
of his martyrdom. Gregory II who instituted this station
with a graceful allusion to the splendor of the sepulchral
Basilica, called the Speciosa, (St. Lawrence-outside-the-
Walls) in the Introit celebrates the sanctity of the great
archdeacon, to whose prayers the early Fathers especially
attributed the final triumph at Rome of the cross over
paganism. .

The Mass dwells on fasting and prayer; the Gospel recalls
the woman of Chanaan who, by humility and perseverance
in prayer, obtained the cure of her daughter. Our Lord at
first. appeared to refuse to perform a miracle in favor of a
Gentile woman; the cure of her daughter showed the mercy
of God calling to penance the Chanaanite and the publican.

EMBER FRIDAY AFTER THE FIRST SUNDAY IN LENT
Collecta at St. Mark. Station at ihe Twelve Holy Aposiles

'The church built by Pope Mark (337-40) is reckoned among
the first erected in Rome. It is possible that the dedication
to the Evangelist of Alexandria is of later date. Under the
altar of the Basilica of the Holy Apostles dedicated by John
III (560-73) are preserved the relies of St. Philip and St.
James. In the Middle Ages, many bodies of saints were
brought hither from the Apronian Cemetery on the Via
Latina, amongst them that of the martyr Eugenia, in whose
honor the station of the Fourth Sunday in Advent was cele-
brated in this church.

The Liturgy insists on the necessity of a reformation of
life; when baptism was administered to adults, it was ex-
pected that the sacrament should effect in the catechumen &
complete change of heart. The Pool of Bethsaida, of which
the Gospe! (John 5, 1-15) speaks, symbolizes the baptismal
font of the catechumens, and is, to all the faithful, a figure
of the adorable Heart of Jesus, through Whose wounded side
íhey pass into an ocean of love and compassion.

EMBER SATURDAY OF THE TWELVE LESSONS AFTER
THE FIRST SUNDAY IN LENT

Collecta a£ St. Mary in Transpontina. Station at St. Peter

St. Mary in Transpontina stood between the Atlan Bridge
and the colonnade which led to St. Peter's. The present
church is not an ancient building nor does it stand on the
original site, but abọut three hundred yards nearer the

atican.

The station is at St. Peter because of the ordinations;
according to the Roman idea every transmission of eccle-
Siastical power through sacred orders, was derived from the
Supreme power of Peter. Therefore ordinations in Rome
must take place at the Vatican, with this distinction, that
whereas it was the prerogative of the Pope to receive conse-
cration at the altar which was over the tomb of the Prince
of the Apostles, in other cases the ceremony took place in
one of the adjoining oratories.

In former days there was no Mass on this morning; the day
was spent in strict fasting, the whole of the night in prayer,
Singing psalms, and listening to the reading, both in Greek
and in Latin, of twelve lessons from Holy Scripture. 'The
five lessons which now precede the Epistle are the last relics
of this ancient solemnity; the conferring of holy orders, minor
and major were joined with them.

The Gospel of to-day shows us how deeply imbedded was
the thought of the cross in the heart of Jesus. Even amid
the glory of Mount Thabor He spoke with Moses and Elias of
His approaching death, in order to make known the force of
the love which impelled Him to sacrifice Himself for us.

SECOND SUNDAY IN LENT
Station at St. Mary in Dominica

In early days there was no stational Mass, nor proper Mass
for this Sunday; there was only the Mass following the long
fast of Saturday. 'The name given to the Basilica of St. Mary
on the Celian Hill, in Dominica, is of very ancient origin—
of the Fourth Century, at least-—when the Lord's house was
generally called the Dominicum.

The Mass is made up chiefly of parts of the Mass of
Saturday. In the Prayer we ask God to behold our poverty,
our. weakness and our need, and implore His help that our
bodies may not succumb to outward evils, and our souls to
Sin. The use of the Gospel of the Transfiguration for the
second time emphasizes this festival, The early Roman
Liturgy did not, it is true, devote many festivals to celebrat-
ing even the most important mysteries of the life and Passion
of Our Savior, but in its annual cycle it offered to the faithful
full opportunity of meditating, at the proper season, on all
the solemn mysteries of the Redemption. The spirit of the
liturgy is strongly opposed to the novelty so dear to the
secular mind.

MONDAY AFTER THE SECOND SUNDAY IN LENT

Collecta at Sts. Cosmas and Damian. Station at St. Clement

The basilica of the two holy physicians stands in, the Forum,
having been adapted from the ancient templum Romuli and
the templum sacra urbis. í :

The Basilica of St. Clement (whose name is mentioned in
the Canon of the Mass) rises on the site of an ancient Roman
domus, Which tradition connects with his name. During the
fina] persecution, there was a deliberate attempt to profane
that sanctified spot, by erecting here an altar to Mithras,
which, however, under Constantine, gave place once more to
the cross of Christ. In the Introit (Ps. 25) the martyr him-
self speaks in the person of the Psalmist: "In the churches
will I bless the Lord"—that is, in those assemblies which were
brought together by Clement in his own house, and which
were the forerunners of the stational gatherings.

TUESDAY AFTER THE SECOND SUNDAY IN LENT
^. Stetion at St. Balbina l

There was no collecta on this day, perhaps because the
Basilica of St. Balbina stood alone, far away on the Aventine,
there being no other church in its vicinity from which the
stational procession could set out. ]

The foundress:of the titulus Balbine—dedicated at first to
the divine Redeemer, before it took the name of the martyr
Balbina, who was buried in the cemetery of Pretextatus—
was perhaps the matron—Balbina, after whom a portion of
the Catacomb of St. Calixtus was called.

The Mass recalls our needs and places them before God. In
the final Benediction of the people, we pray that the divine
mercy may favorably accept our supplications, and k ~1 the
diseases of our souls, so that having obtained the forglvecess
of our sins, we may truly rejoice in the blessing of Good.

WEDNESDAY AFTER THE SECOND SUNDAY IN LENT

Collecta at St. George. Station at St. Cecilia

The Basilica of St. George still stands on the further side
of the pons Senatorum, in the regio of the Velabrum. s

The titulus Cecilie is in Trastevere, in the actual house
of thé martyr. In 1595, the sarcophagus under the altar con-
taining her relics was opened, and the body of the holy virgin
was found in the same. position as it had assumed after the
fatalblow of the executioner, lying on one side, with the knees
slightly bent and her arms stretched along the side.

The privelege which Jesus concedes to His chosen friends
is that of drinking His chalice. 'The draught is bitter, but
it gives strength to the soul. Love is nourished on sacrifice

Constantine stands on the same spot as the former house of
the martyr.

An ancient tradition says that on the site of the Basilica
of St. Mary in Trastevere Pope Callixtus (219-24) died for
the faith, being thrown into a well. The Christians obtained
from the Emperor Alexander Severus the right to have a
meeting-place in Trastevere; the present church is near this
ancient site; a tavern was near-by, the remembrance of which
may have suggested the choice of the parable of the rich
reveller in the Gospel.

The rich man dies and is buried in hell. This is a fearful
warning for those who allow themselves to be carried away
by the lure of earthly pleasures.

FRIDAY AFTER THE SECOND SUNDAY IN LENT
Collecta at St. Agatha in Monasterio. Station at St. Vitalis

The meeting-place to-day is in the deaconry of St. Agatha,
“of the Goths” in the Suburra, which was restored to Cath-
olic worship by Gregory the Great.

From there the procession went to the neighboring Church
of Vestian, dedicated under Innocent 1 (402-17) to the martyr
Vitalis. The martyrology of Ado confused this Vitalis with
the saint of the same name at Ravenna. In the Mass, the
choice of the lesson of Joseph let down by his brothers into
an empty well, and the Gospel of the wicked husbandmen
who stoned their master’s son, was suggested by the Acta of
St. Vitalis, which tell us how the martyr was first buried up
to the waist in a pit and then stoned to death.

‘The Church, as though she feared that the very splendor of
her liturgy might lead simple folk into thinking that Chris-
tianity consisted merely in holding functions and receiving the
sacraments, insists continually in her Lenten formulas that we
should by our good works, give reality to what is so sublimely
expressed in the liturgy.

SATURDAY AFTER THE SECOND SUNDAY IN LENT

Collecta at St. Clement. Station at Sts, Peter and
Marcellinus

The church of SS. Peter and Marcellinus is about three
hundred yards distant from St. Clement's. Pope Damasus as
a boy learnt the circumstances of the martyrdom of these two
saints from the lips of the executioner himself.

As the liturgy of this day lays great stress on the contrast
between the two brothers, Esau and Jacob, and between the
faithful son and the prodigal, it is possible that underneath
there lies an allusion to that executioner, who expiated his
crime by baptism and penitence.

We ourselves were once a long way off, like the prodigal son,
and if we now belong to the household of the faith it is
because the Good Shepherd has brought us back to the fold.

We must try to smooth away difficulties, to help on conver-
sions, and to imitate the angels of God, who rejoice with
Jesus in heaven over one repentant sinner.

THIRD SUNDAY IN LENT
Station at St. Lawrence-without-the-Walls

Pope Pelagius IT (578-90) added a large upper aula to the
original Laurentian Basilica and dedicated it to the Blessed
Virgin. For this reason Leo IV (847-55) decreed that the
Station of the Octave of the Assumption should be held there,
and the Gospel of to-day alludes to this dedication by praising
the great Mother of God.

In the Epistle to the Ephesians read as the Lesson for
to-day, St. Paul speaks very appropriately of the divine light
and its fruits, which are first described in their negative
aspect, when he warns his hearers against, sensual pleasures,
evil-speaking, and covetousness, and then in their positive
aspect, goodness and justice and truth,

The Church celebrates her solemn stations in the sanctu-
aries of the martyrs in order to remind us that we are the heirs
of their spiritual patrimony. Their blood cemented the first
Christian edifice, and we, as children of the martyrs, possess
their sepulchres and the places sanctified by their confession,
inasmuch as we succeed them in the profession of the
same faith. .

MONDAY AFTER THE THIRD SUNDAY IN LENT
Collecta at St. Adrian. Station at St. Mark

The church of St. Adrian was dedicated by Pope Honorius
I (625-38) to the memory of this famous martyr of Nicomedia,
who, during the Byzantine era, was the object of much devo-
tion in Rome. :

The stational Basilica de Pallacine, dedicated later on to
St. Mark the Evangelist, was erected by the Pope of that
name (337-40), and is the only church in Rome sacred to the
memory of this devoted disciple of St. Paul, and faithful
interpreter of St. Peter, who wrote his Gospel after St. Peter's
death, at the request of the faithful in Rome.

The scriptural passages read to-day have in mind the
Eastern origin of the titular patrons of the Basilica, and tell
us, therefore, of the Syrian Naaman, who, rejecting the
grander rivers of Damascus, was cleansed from his leprosy
in the lesser waters of the Jordan.

Catechumens desiring to be healed from the leprosy of
infidelity and original sin, must humble themselves, and,
abandoning the rivers of Damascus—that is, the attractions
of their former worldly life—must wash themselves clean in
the pure waters of holy baptism.

TUESDAY AFTER THE THIRD SUNDAY IN LENT

honor of the martyrs Sergius and Bacchus. The one where
the people collected for the procession. to the Basilica of
Pudens, was called the Canelicum, and stood in the regio of
the Montes. The titulus sancti Pudentis was one of the oldest
of the urban titular churches; ancient ecclesiastical tradi-
tion asserts that it was sanctified by the sojourn of Peter in
the house of the senator Pudens, mentioned by St. Paul in
his epistles. 'The memories of Pope St. Pius I (158-67), of
his brother Hermas, the mystic author of the Pastor, those of
Priscilla, Pudentiana, Praxedes, Justin the Philosopher, Hip-
polytus the Doctor are all connected with the history of this
house; it was really the papal residence in the secorid century.

The Lessons and prayers may have reference to St. Peter,
whose. presence in the house of Pudens was the cause of all
manner of prosperity and abundance.: Charity and hos-
pitality. never impoverished anyone, and when the needy are
given shelter for the love of God it draws down upon that roof
the blessings of divine Providence. - - .

WEDNESDAY AFTER THE THIRD SUNDAY IN LENT
Collecta at St. Balbina. Station.at St. Siztus

- The distance from the Church of St. Balbina on the Aven-
tins to that of St. Sixtus on the Via Appia is not great. St.
Sixtus (Xystus) was the first Pope martyred in the Cata-
combs; his name is in the Canon of the Mass.

In ancient times the scrutiny of the catechumens who
wished to be admitted to holy baptism on Easter Eve began
to-day; the Mass, therefore, has a distinctly catechetical
character, especially in the Lessons.

The Communion speaks of the ways of life; the way of the
cross, of the sepulchre, and of the descent into Limbo, by
which Christ passed to the glory of the resurrection.

THURSDAY AFTER THE THIRD SUNDAY IN LENT
Collecta at St. Mark. Station at Sts. Cosmas and Damian

Under the high altar of St. Mark’s rest the bodies of the
martyrs Abdon, Sennen, and Hermes, transferred thither by
Gregory IV (827-44).

The stational Basilica we have already noticed as the place
of the collecta on the second Monday in Lent. The Mass
refers chiefly to the anniversary of the martyrdom, and the
frequent mention of health, sickness, and healing recalls the
great popularity of the veneration paid to the holy Anargyri
(moneyless) in those early days.

Ages. loved this majestic sanctuary, where among other relics
was preserved in a casket locked with thirteen keys the image
of the Holy Face.

Lucina was a matron living in the time of Pope Marcellus
(304-9) who placed her houses in the Via Lata at the disposal
of the ecclesiastical authorities; these erected there the
titulus Marcelli, and, when the church was confiscated, built
another not far off, in Lucina. Pope Celestine III placed
under the altar a large piece of the gridiron on which St.
Lawrence Was martyred.

The Liturgy now becomes permeated with the thought of
Baptism. After hearing of the water gushing from the rock
in the desert, we now read in the Gospel (John 4, 5-42) of
the living. water which Our Lord promised to the Samaritan
woman. ‘This second scriptural scene was also familiar to
the faithful as & type of the sacrament of Baptism, and we
see it represented as early as the second century in the
cemetery of Pretextatus.

SATURDAY AFTER THE THIRD SUNDAY IN LENT
Collecta at St. Vitalis “ad duas domos." Station at St. Susanna

St. Vitalis was dedicated by Innocent I (412-17) to the
martyrs Vitalis, Gervase, and Protase. 'The Basilica of St.
Susanna is the ancient titulus Gaii, called also after. the
Saints Gabinius and Susanna, the brother and the niece of
the Pontiff who performed the dedication; it rises on the
ruins of an ancient Roman building (the two houses, ad duas
domos) and was & parish church in the time of Pope Sym-
machus (498-514).

'The story of Susanna, so familiar to the early Church, and
so often reproduced in the paintings of the Catacombs, should
fill our souls with loving confidence. Susanna prefers to fall
a victim to the vengeance of her accusers rather than sin
against God. She places all her trust in the Lord, and her
prayer becomes her salvation.

The holy Gospel describing the scene where the woman
taken in adultery is brought before Christ, is a great con-
solation to sinners who can never hope to regain the esteem
of their fellow men but who hear the voice of God within them
saying: “Neither will I condemn thee.”

FOURTH SUNDAY IN LENT
Station at Holy Cross in Jerusalem

Ever since the time of St. Helen, a large portion of the true
cross has heen preserved in the basilica in cdibus sessoriis,
and for this reason the station is held there to-day. Its earliest
designation was Basilica Heleniana, or more commonly Sancta
Hierusalem, whence we have those frequent allusions to Jeru-
salem in to-day’s Mass.

Sending the golden rose blessed by the Pope as a gift to
one of the Catholic princes is a ceremony which at Rome gives
@ special distinction to the Fourth Sunday in Lent.

http://ccwatershed.org

1654 ECCLESIASTICAL YEAR AND SACRED LITURGY

The Introit sounds the note of joy (Latare) in the triumph
of the holy cross; to-day is the feast of holy Jerusalem. The
church invites us, as it were, to take a little rest in order to
recruit our strength before proceeding with renewed fervo
on the road of penance. .

The Liturgy, therefore, reminds us of how Our Lord mul-
tiplied the loaves and the fishes in the desert, and fed there-
with five thousand persons (John 6, 1-15). That food repre-
sents the Word of God, which is the food of the soul; it also
represents the material blessings with which divine Providence
unfailingly sustains our human nature.

MONDAY AFTER THE FOURTH SUNDAY IN LENT

Collecta at St. Stephen on the Coelian Hill Station at the
.Four Holy Crowned Martyrs

The circular church of the Proto-martyr Stephen is situated
less than three hundred yards from the Basilica of the Four
Holy Crowned Martyrs, which rises fortress-like on the
hill-side.

‘The relics of the titular saints (there are three groups of
four martyrs in Roman History: Clement, Simpronianus,
Claudius, and. Nicostratus, buried ad duas lauros on the Via
Labicana; a group of stone-cutters from Pannonia drowned
in the river Save, and a group of four other martyrs from
Albano); are preserved in the crypt under the high altar.

The story of the judgment of Solomon, of which we find a
representation even in the paintings at Pompeii, teaches that
the Church herself, rather than the Synagogue, is the Mother
of souls: the true Mother loves her children.

TUESDAY AFTER THE FOURTH SUNDAY IN LENT

Collecta at the Monastery of “Santa Maria Domne Rose.”
Station at St. Lawrence in Damaso

The church of the collecta corresponds to the present Sta.
Caterina dei Funari; at one time Sancta Maria domna rose
was the residence of the Dean of the Lateran Schola, and in
1536 Paul III granted it to St. Ignatius Loyola, who founded
there an institution for poor girls.

St. Lawrence in Damaso is built on a spot full of memories
connected: with the family of Pope Damasus (366-84). His
relics rest under the high-altar.

The Lesson (Exod. 32, 7-14) contains the beautiful prayer
of Moses for his people, who had fallen into the sin of idolatry.
This is perfect love—to be willing that one's name be struck
off from the book of life rather than let one's own brethren
perish beneath the justice of God.

In going up to the feast of Tabernacles only when the
festival was well begun, Jesus wishes to teach us to love
and reverence the sacred Liturgy and the rites of religion,
and shows us that He Himself is the center of creation and
of all history.

SUNDAY IN LENT

Collecta at St. Mennas. Station at St. Paul “iy aiperitione
aurium"

The Church of St. Mennas stood on the left bank of the
Tiber at the first milestone on the Via Ostiensis. ‘The Alex-
andrians in Rome had such devotion to this Egyptian saint
that his natalis on November 11 was still honored in the
Seventh Century by the celebration of the station at his
sanctuary.

St. Paul is the prototype and model of catechumens, on
account of his conversion on the way to Damascus. The
miracle which Christ worked upon the blind man was renewed
in a spiritual sense upon the candidates for baptism, to whom
the Pontiff explained for the first time with solemn rites the
Creed, the Lord's Prayer and the beginning of the four
Gospels. -

The entire Mass is inspired by the thought of the sacrament
of Baptism. Holiness is the common vocation of all; one
often speaks nowadays of a vocation to the priesthood or to
the religious life, but too little is said of the call to the
Christian: life, which is bestowed on us through the grace
of holy Baptism. Yet the religious vocation itself does but
develop in us the call to a Christian life, by means of the
counsels of perfection. These are not two separate forms of
Christianity; the Christianity of the Gospel and that of the
monastic rule are but one and the same Christian profession.

THURSDAY AFTER THE FOURTH SUNDAY IN LENT
Collecta a£ St. Quiricus. Station at St. Martin “ad montes?

The Church of St. Quiricus (at one time St. Quiricus and
Julitta, Oriental martyrs) is at the foot of the Quirinal hill,

Through the zeal of Pope Symmachus, two oratories were
erected beside the anclent titulus equitii, dedicated to the
first two confessors to whom after the martyrs liturgical
cultus was paid, Sts. Martin and Sylvester. It is located on
the Esquiline hill.

The Mass dates only from the time of Gregory II: the
sung parts are from other feasts. Both the Epistle and the
Gospel recount a miracle of raising the dead to life; St. Martin
of Tours was celebrated as the resuscitator of three dead
persons, The story of Eliseus is an example of the discretion
needed by superiors in dealing with those under their care.

Collecta at St. Angelius “in piscibus." Station at St. Nicholas
in Carcere

The gathering of the faithful to-day was near the fish-
market; the church was in existence before the Eighth Cen-
tury. The seven martyred sons of St. Symphorosa repose
here.

Over sixty churches were dedicated to St. Nicholas: this
one stands near the ancient site of a public prison, and is built
on the ruins of a pagan temple of Piety.

This Saturday is called sitientes from the opening words
of the Introit. Since the time of Pope Gelasius it has been
a day for conferring Holy Orders, and was therefore once a
day of great fast, extending through the night. .

The Gospel teaches us that if the house of God on earth is
not to be turned into a house of traffickers—still less can we
purchase our entrance into heaven. We are to drink with
joy Zr tne fountains of grace which flow from the blessed
Eucharist.

PASSION SUNDAY, OR SUNDAY IN MEDIANA
Station a£ St. Peter

The liturgical cycle of the Passion begins with the Mass at
the Vatican, where Nero crucified the first Vicar of Christ
and where Symmachus had built an oratory named Sancta
Hierusalem, as the Sessorian Basilica was originally called, in
honor of the triumphant Standard of Redemption.

The Mass of this Sunday is entirely dominated by the
memory of the Sacrifice on Golgotha, and is one of the most
beautiful and pathetic in the whole Roman Antiphonary.
During the fortnight, the early Ordines Romani forbid the
final doxology. In to-day’s Mass the Judica me is sung at
the Introit, and is therefore omitted previous to the Con-
fession before the priest goes up to the altar.

The communion verse (1 Cor, 11 24-25) expresses the union
of the daily sacrifice with the Passion of our Lord. The
liturgical celebration of the Passion begins today; the words
of St. Paul (as adapted by the Church) emphasize the com-
memoration of the sufferings and death of Christ in every
reception of Holy Communion. The whole Christian life (as

St. Ambrose remarked) is linked through its sufferings, austeri-
ties, self-denials and sacrifices, with the one only sacrifice of
Jesus Christ. The whole work of salvation is the continuation
and completion of the mystery of our Saviour’s death and
resurrection. His sacrifice sanctifies and consecrates all our
sacrifices and makes of them one offering before God.

` MONDAY AFTER PASSION SUNDAY
: Collecta at St. Mark. Station at St. Marcellus

The Church of St. George de Balabru is at the foot of the
Palatine, where the four-sided arch of Janus stands, and
where, from remote antiquity, the pagan populace used to
seek divinations.

The Basilica of St. Chrysogonus in Trastevere, near the
classical guard-house of the Vigiles, still preserves under the
Sanctuary the remains of the dwelling-place of the martyr of
that name, which dates back to the time of Constantine.

In the Prayer we ask two things of God: firstly, that He
would so sanctify our lenten fast that our interior disposi-
tions may harmonize with our bodily abstinence; and, sec-
ondly, that our penitence and contrition of heart may obtain
for us the pardon of our past shortcomings.

In the Gospel grace is compared to water, because, like
water, ib extinguishes the fire of the passions, refreshes the
Spirit, quenches the thirst of immoderate desires, and gives
life and growth to the beauteous flowers of virtue.

TUESDAY AFTER PASSION SUNDAY
Station at St. Cyriacus at the Baths of Dioceletian

A very ancient regulation prohibited the procession and
the stational Mass on Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays
throughout the year, except on the feasts of the martyrs.
Hence the Ordines Romani observe that no station was held
on this day.

St. Cyriacus was long venerated at the Basilica of St. Mary
in Via Lata; his body was brought there during the middle
ages. .

The story of Daniel in the lion’s den read in this Mass was
widely known in the early days of Christianity, for it is
reproduced in many of the catacombs. St. Cyriacus is said to
have first exercised, like Daniel, his apostolate at the Persian
Court, that. of King Sapor.

In the Post-Communion we beseech God that our frequency
in drawing near to the holy table may be for us both a
token and a pledge of our approaching each day nearer to
the celestial altar and the eternal prize.

WEDNESDAY AFTER PASSION SUNDAY
Collecta at St. Mark. Station at St. Marcellus

The Collecta is at the church built by Pope Marcus, where
the station is held on Monday after the.third Sunday in Lent.

http://ccwatershed.org

1658 ECCLESIASTICAL YEAR AND SACRED LITURGY

The title of Marcellus stands on the Via Lata, on the site
once occupied by the house of a matron named Lucina.
Recent excavations have corroborated the data furnished by
ihe Acta of St. Marcellus, so that we may hold for a certainty
that the church was erected during the pontificate of the
martyr who was afterwards buried there.

The Lenten fast is now drawing to its close, wherefore we
pray in the Collect that the abstinence which we have prac-
ticed, being sanctified by the mortification of all our evil
passions, may serve to enlighten the hearts of the faithful.
God himself has placed this desire in our hearts, so we trust
that he will graciously accept it and will grant it abundant

ruit.

THURSDAY AFTER PASSION SUNDAY

Collecta at Sta. Maria “in Via Lata.” Station at
Si. Apollinaris in Archipresbyteratu

Under the high altar of Sta. Maria is preserved with all
veneration the body of Agapitus, the famous martyr of Præn-
este (Palestrina), together with some relics of St. Cyriacus,
the martyr of the Via Ostiensis.

On the feast of St. Apollinaris (July 23) the Lesson from
the Epistle is read dealing with the Prince of Pastors, and
with humility and faith, because the archbishops of Ra-
venna began to arrogate to themselves papal honors. St.
Apollinaris, who came to Rome with St. Peter, was martyred
in Ravenna in a.D. 79; many churches and chapels were built
in Rome in his honor during the period of the greatness of
Ravenna.

Rome replied to the usurpations of the Patriarchs of Ra-
venna in the Middle Ages with lessons on humility drawn from
the Gospels. This is the law ordained by God: the papal
blessing consolidates and gives increase to the position of her
sons, but if one of these rises up against the See of Peter,
he will infallibly be crushed by the majesty of Rome. From
the Gospel we learn that Jesus desires all humanity to behold
the Magdalen and repent for their sins. We are not all able
to fast, nor can we all be apostles, but everyone of us has a
heart to consecrate to the love of God alone.

FRIDAY AFTER PASSION SUNDAY

(For the Feast of the Seven Dolors of the B.V. Mary, kept on
this day, see p. 966
Collecta at Sts. John and Paul, Station at St. Stephen on
the Ceelian :
The Basilica of SS. John and Paul was built by Bizante and

Pammachius over the very house where the two martyrs suf-
fered death for the Faith.

cated to him in the city itself. Primus and Felician, the first

martyrs whose bodies Were brought from extra-mural ceme-
teries into the city were placed by Pope Theodore I in a small
chapel of this church. .

Caiphas the high priest spoke, saying that. Jesus should
die for the nation, Christ is to die in order to bring together
all the children of God dispersed throughout the world in one
great family, which shall be neither Jew nor Greek nor Gentile,
but only one holy Catholic Church. Stephen receives this
last wish of his divine Master, and boldly announces it to the
Hellenist Synagogues of Jerusalem.

God holds the souls of all men in his hands, and we should
welcome with open arms those whom he has brought back
from a long way off, remembering how we, too, had once
pina dao away, but are now converted to the Shepherd of
our souls, :

SATURDAY AFTER PASSION SUNDAY

Collecta at St. Peter “when the Pope gives the paschal alms to
the poor.” Station at St. John before the Latin Gate

To signify their close connection with the Apostolic See, a
host consecrated by the Pope was sent to the titular priests.
When they said their own Mass they placed in the chalice a
particle of the host sent to them on this Saturday; abundant
alms were distributed to the poor.

In course of time both these ceremonies became obsolete and
in their place a new station was instituted at the Church of
St. John before the Latin Gate. The tradition which relates
that St. John was miraculously preserved from death when
plunged into a caldron of boiling oil is very ancient, as it is
vouched for by Tertullian; the first to connect this scene with
the place before the Latin Gate where the Church of St. John
now stands is Ado in his Martyrology.

In the Prayer we beseech God that the people who are dedi-
cated to Him may increase in the affections of pious devotion
and may develop by good works that seed of holiness which was
sown in their haerts at holy Baptism. The school in which
they must learn this lesson of perfection is the Church herself
with her Sacraments and her Liturgy; so that.the Christian
life may become one long chain of graces connected one with
another, each grace serving to prepare and dispose us to re-
ceive another. During our present lives every chastisement
sent by God is for our correction; in the final prayer the
Church asks for the special help of God that will enable the
soul to make the acts of contrition and love which must pre-
cede its reconciliation and forgiveness; then comes the puri-
fication from sin by the infusion of sanctifying grace. In a
few days Christ will be lifted up on the cross, whence He will
draw all men unto Himself.

PALM SUNDAY

Collecta at St. Sylvester in the Lateran. Station at St. John
Lateran

'The great ceremonies of Holy Week took place in the ancient
pontifical residence in the Lateran Palace. After the palms

1660 ECCLESIASTICAL YEAR AND SACRED LITURG'5

were blessed, they were carried to the chapel of St. Sylvester
and distributed. The Mass was sung in the Basilica of the
Savior.

In the blessing of the palms we have an ancient type.of the
liturgical synaxes or gatherings for the recitation of the
Divine Office, the instruction of the faithful and prayer, which
were not followed by the celebration of Mass. This type of
synaxis, taken from the Jewish rite used in the synagogues of
the Dispersion, formed part of the Christian ritual from the
time of the Apostles.

In our present rite, not all Darts are equally ancient; the
Colleets or prayers which follow the Preface in the blessing
of the palms are of ancient origin and sublime conception; in
them the Church seems to wish to pour out all her love for her

Redeemer about tc sacrifice Himself for her.

The Mass begins upon the return of the procession; it dwells
chiefly upon the sufferings of the Redeemer, His humilia-
tions and sorrows, though not unmindful of His glorious resur-
rection. This week was called “paschal” week because the
sacred Liturgy in these last days of Lent does not separate
the remembrance of the Saviour’s Passion from that of His
triuniphant resurrection, The Collect expresses this in beau-
tiful words. |

The remembrance of the sufferings endured for our sakes
by Jesus Christ should be constantly revived in our hearts,
that it may awaken in them those feelings of love and grati-
tude of which St. Paul speaks: “Christ has loved me, and has
given Himself for me. I live, but it is no more I who live, it
is Christ who liveth in me. I live in His faith." The reading
of the whole narrative of the Passion of Our Lord is a very
ancient Roman tradition; the Ordines of the ninth century
attest it. i

MONDAY IN HOLY WEEK
Collecta at St. Balbina. Station at St. Praxedes

A little way off from the titular Church of Balbina stands
the Basilica de fasciola (of the bandage), the ancient station
for this day. Tradition says that St. Peter, when he sought
to leave Rome to escape persecution, stopped to replace the
bandage which covered the wound in his leg caused by the
chains he. had worn ‘in prison. At that moment Christ
appeared to him. St. Peter inquired: “Domine, quo vadis?”
(Lord, whither goest Thou?), and Our Lord made answer: “I
go to Rome to be crucified again.” ‘The vision passed and
Peter understood from these words that it was in the person of
his first Vicar that Christ was to be put to death in Rome, and
m obedience to the implied command, he returned in all haste
o the city.

The title of Praxedes has been the station since the end of
the Middle Ages; an ancient mosaic representing the Blessed
Virgin and SS. Praxedes and Pudentiana is venerated here. A
column of reddish jasper brought to Rome from Jerusalem in

ECCLESIASTICAL YEAR AND SACRED LITURGY 166i

1223 is affirmed by tradition to be the one to which Our Re-
deemer Was bound for the scourging at the pillar. :

In the Mass, Christ calls upon His Father, protesting His
own innocence and imploring him to curb the attacks of Satan
upon the human race. :

The Gospel, recounting the anointing of the feet of Jesus
with the spikenard of great price, and the remarks of Judas
Iscariot, are reminders of the coming betrayal, Passion and
death. The sweet perfume is the symbol of the perfection of
the contemplative life, which the worldlings look upon as
wasted, but which fills the Church of Christ with sweetness.

TUESDAY IN HOLY WEEK
Collecta at Sta. Maria in Portico. Station at St. Prisca

In the porch of the palace of Galla, the daughter of the
consul Symmachus, a medieval church existed. Galla, on
entering a convent, turned her own house into a hospital and
refuge for the poor, in the time of Pope John I (523-26). A
new church now exists, a little distant from the ancient site.

The Basilica of St. Prisca on the Aventine is rightly asso-
ciated with the Roman domestic church of Aquila and Pris-
cilla. saluted by St. Paul (Romans 16, 3, 5). It is one of the
most ancient sanctuaries in Rome, hallowed by the presence
and ministry. of St, Peter and St. Paul. Under the high
altar lies the body of Prisca, a virgin and martyr (not the wife
of Aquila and disciple of St. Paul).

The Mass is a celebration of the mysteries of the Passion
of the Redeemer, that we may derive therefrom the fruit which
ihe Church offers us in the holy Liturgy. We are not simply
commemorating an historic event. 'The works of Christ bear
fruit when they are recalled, and have the same divine power
when the Church expounds them to the Christian world to-day
as they had when they were first done or spoken before the
Jews.

Only in the Middle Ages was St. Mark's account of the Pas-
sion introduced as the Gospel for this Mass. 'The Psalm of the
Introit (Ps. 66) is the most beautiful prayer that we can, in
union with the Church, lift up to Christ crucified; may the
light of His countenance shine upon us; may God have mercy
on us and bless us. His dying eyes are fixed on us in love, and
that glance is a living and shining ray which enlightens the
whole world.

WEDNESDAY IN HOLY WEEK

Morning synaxis a£ the Latern. Collecta at St. Peter in
Chains. Station at St. Mary Major

In the early Roman church, there was no Liturgy for this
day; it was kept as we now keep Good Friday; the Mass was
omitted and only the Litany solemnly recited. The Mass was
reserved for the evening, in St. Mary Major. By the time
of St. Leo the Great, this day already had its Mass. It was
the rule that it be celebrated in St. Mary Major, to entrust

http://ccwatershed.org

1662 ECCLESIASTICAL YEAR AND SACRED LITURGY

as it were the aspirants for Baptism to her loving care who
on Good Friday will be named the Mother of Mercy and the
Advocate of the human race.

The Introit announces the triumph of the Cross; the
Church desires to confirm our faith in Him whose Passion is
read in the Gospel according to St. Luke, Whom to-morrow
we shall see crucified between two thieves. The crucifixion
is the summary of Catholic belief. The Cross is the crown
of all the works of God, and the masterpiece of His love. God
is well pleased with it; He cannot hear it commemorated nor
behold its image without being moved with pity towards us.

MAUNDY THURSDAY
Station at the Lateran

The Basilica of the Savior, or the Church of St. John
Lateran, is the scene of the solemn rites with which the
Church commences on this day the celebration of the paschal
feast. Originally there were three Masses, one in the morn-
ing for the reconciliation of public penitents, another for the
consecration of the holy oils destined for Extreme Unction
and Baptism, and a third at the close of the day in commem-
oration of the Last Supper and for the Easter Communion.
These rites have now been simplified, and the holy oils are
blessed in the Mass of the Easter Communion. After the Mass
of to-day, Holy Communion is not distributed until the Res-
urrection has been celebrated in the liturgy. For detailed de-
scription of the ceremonies of Maundy Thursday, see note in
proper part of the Missal for this day.

GOOD FRIDAY

Collecta at the Lateran. Station at the Holy Cross in
Jerusalem

The Roman Basilica, Holy Cross in Jerusalem, is to-day’s
station, for Christ had said, “It cannot be that a prophet
perish out of Jerusalem.” Formerly, the Pope walked bare-
foot from St. John Lateran, swinging a censer filled with pre-
cious perfumes before the wood of the true Cross, carried by a
deacon.

Originally, there was not even the Mass of the Presanctified
on this day, as a sign of deep mourning. Our present rite
does not go back beyond the Middle Ages, and represents the
order used in the titular churches of Rome, in which the Pope
was never present. For detailed description of the ceremonies
or Good Friday see note in proper part of the Missal for

s day.

HOLY SATURDAY
Collecta at St. John Lateran, for the catechumens
In olden days the paschal fast was very strict, extending
from the evening of Good Friday until the dawn of Easter
Sunday. In Rome, not even children were dispensed from this
fast; this was also the rule in the Celtic Church. Mass was

http://ccwatershed.org

ECCLESIASTICAL YEAR AND SACRED LITURGY 1663

not celebrated on this day, as the whole Church was watching
in devout expectation until the night should come in which
the mystery of Christ's Resurrection should be celebrated, The
night between Holy Saturday and Easter Sunday was spent in
prayer; Tertullian speaks of this custom as a law. It was only
in the later Middle Ages that the ceremony was definitely
anticipated in the afternoon, and eventually, as now, in the
morning of Holy Saturday.

The first ceremony is that of the Lights, or Easter fire
(Eucharistia lucernaris). It seems to have a twofold origin:
the Easter fire of the Celtic Churches and the sacred rite of
lighting the evening candle, to burn throughout the Jong vigil;
it was not among the primitive rites in Rome, but was adopted
during the Carlovingian period.

Next follows the vigil, with its primitive form of the Divine
Office, with the ancient prophecies whose reading filled the
night. Then came the blessing of the font and the Baptism
of the catechumens, followed by the Mass. For detailed de-
scription of the ceremonies for Holy Saturday see note in
proper part of the Missal for this day.

EASTER SUNDAY
Station at St. Mary Major

Throughout this paschal week the Roman Liturgy is en-
tirely absorbed by two great thoughts, that of the Resurrection
of Our Lord and that of the Baptism of the neophytes. These
are, as it were, two mysteries which mutually complete and
explain each other. Each is a symbol of the other; the one
is the prototype, the other the antitype; but neither can be
understood if considered by itself, for the regeneration of souls
to the life of grace through the sacrament of Baptism, after a
spiritual manner which yet is full of reality, is a new Resur-
rection of Christ in His Mystical Body.

'There is no longer any mention of fasts and corporal pen-
ances, but instead, visits are paid to the great Roman Basilicas,
the white-clad band of neophytes being conducted thither as
in a triumphal procession.

After the paschal vigil of Holy Saturday at the Lateran the
first basilica to be visited is that of the Mother of God on the
Esquiline, for it is fitting that to her, before any other, the joys
of the Resurrection should be announced, to her who more
intimately than any other shared in the Passion of Jesus.

The Introit is derived from Psalm 138, which extols the
knowledge and the presence of God that pervade the inner-
most part of our being. 'The antiphon has, however, been
&dapted to the paschal solemnity. 'Truly Christ fell asleep
upon the cross, having yielded up His spirit to His Father,
and now He awakens in the loving arms of the Almighty, who
has accepted the spotless victim spontaneously offered to Him,
and, pressing Him to His bosom, has revived within Him the
Spark of His own divine life. Christ has indeed arisen from
the dead.

1664 ECCLESIASTICAL YEAR AND SACRED LITURGY

In the Postcommunion we are reminded that the Holy
Eucharist is a pledge of the Communion of Saints, uniting the
hearts of all the faithful in the spirit of love. This is why, in
olden days, the faithful, at the moment of réceiving Holy
Communion from the hands of their bishop, gave him the
kiss of peace, of which we find a last trace in our present
custom of kissing the ring of a bishop,

The Holy Eucharist is not only for the commemoration of
the death of Our Lord, it is also a representation of Him in
His glory. Therefore, whilst it sows in us the seeds of death,
that we may learn to die with Christ, it gives us at the same
time a part and share in His Resurrection.

EASTER MONDAY
Station at St. Peter

Among the early Christians the Easter festivities were pro-
longed for the entire week; to no other feast was so much
solemnity given. During this week Rome kept continuous fes-
tival; business transactions were suspended; every morning the
stational Mass. was celebrated at one of the chief basilicas.
The station at St. Peter's brings to his tomb the newly bap-
tized and bears witness in the Mass to the lively faith of the
Apostle in whose house to-day the Roman Church is desirous
of renewing, as it were, the paschal feast.

In the Epistle St. Peter lifts up his voice and proclaims the
glory of Christ's Resurrection. In the Gospel mention is
made of the apparition of Our Lord to Peter on the evening
of Easter Sunday. The disciples on the way to Emmaus knew
the Lord in the breaking of the bread. It is probable that
this was the eucharistic bread; as the Savior at the Last
Supper received the Eucharist first Himself, in all likelihood
He did so again after His Resurrection.

The Prayer speaks of the paschal Sacrament as being closely
bound up with the redemption of the world. The spiritual
Israel has come forth from the slavery of Egypt. May the
Lord then protect this newly won liberty.

EASTER TUESDAY
Station a£ St. Paul

After visiting St. Peter's, it was fitting that the neophytes
Should at once be brought to the Doctor of the Gentiles, beside
whose tomb they had learnt the first rudiments of the new
law of the Gospel. Therefore in the Lesson from the Acts of
the Apostles chosen for to-day, it is Paul who announces to the
faithful the Resurrection of the Savior as Peter did on Easter
Monday.

The Gospel from St. Luke describes the first appearance of
Jesus to the Apostles. As the Resurrection of Our Lord is
the central tenet of the Christian faith, so the Divine Wisdom,
in order to take away all excuse for the unbelief of the syna-
gogue, willed that the miracle should be proved beyond all
Possibility of doubt.

http://ccwatershed.org

ECCLESIASTICAL YEAR AND SACRED LITURGY 1665

In the Prayer with solemn simple words a rule of life is set
rth to-day surpassing the heights to which any mere human
tind could rise. The Church prays that God may grant to
1@ baptized realization of all which Baptism means inas-
wch as it communicates the very life of Jesus Christ Him-
1f.. In the Postcommunion the Church teaches that there
re two kinds of Communion, the sacramental and the spir-
ual. By the first we partake actually of the body dnd blood
f Christ; by the second we live by the spirit of the Eucharist,
S the sacramental Communion can be received only at cer-
iin times and in certain places, Our Lord unites the soul so
itimately to Himself in the Holy Eucharist that it lives by
tis spirit and breathes in unison with His heart. Such, in
s highest sense, is spiritual Communion.

WEDNESDAY IN EASTER WEEK
Station at St, Lawrence-without-the-Walls

To-day we honor St. Lawrence, the Cross-bearer of the
‘oman Church, to express our gratitude for the favor shown
y him to the catechumens in bringing them to holy Baptism.

The Gospel gives the account o£ the third appearance of the
isen Savior to the Apostles. On the shores of Lake Tiberias
t. John, the virgin soul among the Apostles, sees him first,
ut Peter, the most ardent and the most impetuous, in thé
igor of his faith throws himself into the water and is the
rst to reach the divine Master, whilst the others slowly fol-
win the boat. The fishes brought by St. Peter at the com-
land of Jesus are interpreted to represent the neophytes
aptized on Holy Saturday.

Throughout the paschal season the Church displays a great
eration for the martyrs, of which the first evidence is seen
ay at the tomb of St. Lawrence. The reason of this devo-
s that the martyrs have a special claim to the glory of the
ection, since they have participated more closely than
in the ignominy of the Cross, ,

THURSDAY IN EASTER WEEK.
Station a£ the Twelve Holy Apostles

er the high altar of the Church of the Twelve Apostles

“*presérved the relics of the Apostles Philip and James only;
he stational feast is celebrated in honor of all the Apostles
3gether. The Lesson from the Acts of the Apostles deals
ith the conversion of the treasurer of Candace, Queen of the
ithiopians by Philip the deacon, not the Apostle.

The Gospel gives the account of the appearance of the risen
&vior to Mary Magdalen; this occurred before He sbowed
limself to the Apostles, but in the Liturgy it is put back until
3-day on account of the respect-for them. us
The words of Jesus to the Magdalen are very consoling; by
he Resurrection Our Lord has linked humanity to Himself
y an intimate bond. Jesus is truly our Brother, God is in
ery deed our Father. By the death of Christ we have gained
ar more than we had lost by sin, and it is in this sense that

FRIDAY IN EASTER WEEK
Station at St. Mary ad Martyres

In the Seventh Century the Roman Pantheon was dedi
cated to St. Mary and the heroic sons of the Roman Church
who had suffered martyrdom. The martyrs indeed seem t
have & particular right to the glory of the Resurrection oi
account of their perfect resemblance to Christ crucified; an
many ancient liturgies kept & special feast in their honor ij
the very midst of the Easter festival. To-day’s station ai
Martyres remains as a last record of this early liturgical tra
dition, for, later on, the collective feast of the martyrs wa
transferred, even in Rome, to the middle of the month of May
and still later to the first day of November.

The Introit contains an allusion to the paschal feast of th
neophytes, who, like the Israelites of old, have escaped fron
the slavery of Egypt across the Red Sea, which is a symbol o
holy Baptism. The enemy who was overwhelmed by th
waves is Satan, or sin.

The doctrine taught in the lesson taken from 1 Peter 1
that contained in the article of the creed: “He descended int
hell.” Among the souls in Limbo were patriarchs anc
prophets and some who had paid no heed to the warnings o
se ia he predicted the destruction of the world in th

ood.

The words must not be taken to mean that Christ preacher
in hell in order to convert the souls who had already beei
condemned for their sin of unbelief; for the state of the sou
cannot change after death. Christ descended into the abode o
the dead to announce both to the good and to the wicked th:
redemption now accomplished; to the good for their supre
consolation, to the wicked as a further reason for their cf
demnation.

In the Communion the mission of the Church to te
nations and baptize is proclaimed.

SATURDAY IN EASTER WEEK
Station at St. John Lateran

The conclusion to-day of the baptismal celebrations
the neophytes together again in the Lateran Basilica best
the font in which on Easter Eve they were born to newnes
of life. To-day’s stational liturgy seems to be influenced mor
than ever by the thought of purity and innocence, like a lovin;
mother carried away by the beauty of her newborn child.

On this day in the early Roman Liturgy the Pope used t
distribute to the people the Agnus Dei of the blessed wa)
mixed with sacred chrism, on which was impressed the imagi
of the Lamb of God. This custom, one of great antiquity, tool
place during the Mass, whilst the schola of the cantors chante
the invocation Agnus Dei before the Kiss of Peace precedini
the Communion.

The Epistle explains the teaching of St. Peter to the firs
Christian converts about the sublime dignity to which the:
have been raised by Baptism. The Gospel befits the retur

ECCLESIASTICAL YEAR AND SACRED LITURGY 1667

of the newly baptized to the Lateran Basilica; Peter is the
pastor whose words have taught the neophytes; John is the
co-titular patron of the Lateran baptistry, so that it is in his
house, as it were, that the station is celebrated to-day.

After eight days Jesus showed Himself to His Apostles say-
ing: *Peace be to you." When time is drawing to an end and
the last day is at hand, He will appear once more to His
Church, and by the gift of His peace will strengthen her
against the final persecutions of Antichrist,

LOW SUNDAY (OR DOMINICA IN ALBIS)

In the morning, Station at St. Pancras; in the afternoon, at
Sts. Cosmas and Damian

Low Sunday, so-called in English, by contrast with Easter
or High Sunday, is known in the Liturgy as Dominica in Albis,
the Sunday of the laying aside of the white robes; for in early
eges it was on the evening before this Sunday that the neo-
phytes, or converts, baptized together on Holy Saturday and
then solemnly robed in white, the color symbolical of the
Innocence recovered by them through the grace of the sacra-
ment, returned to the use of the ordinary habiliments of civil

e.

From the time of St. Gregory the Great, the Basilica of the
martyrs outside the walls were never chosen as the object of
the stational processions on account of their distance. On the
Octave of Easter, when everything is eloquent of spiritual
youth, an exception is made in honor of the tomb of a young
martyr, the fourteen-year-old Pancras or Pancratius.

According to the ancient Roman tradition Easter Week
ended with the Vespers of the Saturday after Easter; hence
to-day the neophytes lay aside their white garments as a sign
that the festival is over, and resume their ordinary dress, and
the Church in the Collect at the Mass speaks of Easter as of a
festival which has already taken place.

The Gospel recalls the institution of the Sacrament of
Penance. It was fitting that the Lord should on the very
day of the Resurrection institute that sacrament which takes
away sorrow and mourning in this world and calls sinners to a
new life of sanctity. In memory of that fact Catholic tradi-
tion still imposes on the faithful the duty of receiving abso-
lution from & priest before receiving their Easter Communion.

When the veneration of the martyrs Sts. Cosmas and
Damian became general in Rome, the Easter stations had been
for a long time already settled; however, under Felix IV a sta-
tion was assigned to the Basilica of Sts. Cosmas and Damian,
on the second Sunday after Easter. As this conflicted with
the station at St. Peter, it was put back until the afternoon of
Low Sunday,

iomb of the first universal pastor. Christ founded the papal
primacy on the unshakable faith and intense love of Peter;
&nd he, following in his Savior's steps, did not hesitate to
give his life for the flock entrusted to him. I

The devotion to Jesus the Redeemer under the figure of the
Good Shepherd was dear to the faithful from very early
times; in the catacombs Christ is frequently represented as
a shepherd. The liturgical and traditional use of the Gospel
of the Good Shepherd on the second Sunday after Easter is
very old. Jesus, therefore, presents Himself to us to-day as
the “Good Shepherd” and tells us what will henceforth be His
relationship with His flock. Of those outside the fold Our
Lord speaks gently; not a word of reproach but merely a state-
ment of facts.

In the Postcommunion we beseech almighty God that, hav-
ing participated in the sacrament which causes us to live
through his own life, he will grant us the enjoyment in
eternity of the grace we have to-day received. How wonderful
is the thought that the best preparation for a Holy Communion
is that Communion which precedes it!

For the remaining Sundays of Eastertide no stational Church
is assigned.

APRIL 25—ST. MARK
The Greater Litanies
Collecta at the Title of Lucina. Station at St. Peter

The Litanies and the Mass of Rogation for this day are of
ancient origin, except the Introit, which in early days was
replaced by the Litany in processions. The feast of St. Mark
is of much later origin.

The pagan festival, Robigalia, occurred on April 25th;
young people used to go across the Milvian bridge to sacrifice
to Robigus who preserved grain from blight. The Christian
procession formed at St. Lawrence in Lucina and went by the
Flaminian Way over the same bridge, where the sign In hoc
singo vinces appeared to Constantine. Then going along the
Tiber, passing in back of Castel Sant Angelo entered St.
Peter’s. The people were thus taught that it was not the
favor of the heathen god, but a devout life, humble prayer, and
the intercession of the saints, especially that of St. Peter, the
Pastor ovium, which would disarm the justice of God offended
by our sins. This rite is called the Greater Litanies, because
it was of a much more solemn nature than the ordinary sta-
tional litanies.

The procession is a survival of classical tradition incor-
porated into religious customs; the Church preferred to give
& spiritual significance to observances implanted in the hearts
of the people, rather than suppress them partially.

The Litany still preserves the very ancient type of prayer
which ended the night vigil and served as a transition between
the vigil Office and the offering of the Holy Sacrifice. The
oldest part of the Litany is that which begins with the words
“Through the mystery of thy holy incarnation” which belongs
to primitive Christianity.

ECCLESIASTICAL YEAR AND SACRED LITURGY 1669

'ÜThe whole Mass shows us how highly we should value
prayer. Even in the middle of the night, and even to the
extent of seeming importunate, our prayers should rise to
God, because our miseries and our weaknesses are so numer-
ous, and because God has decreed that His grace shall be
granted to us only on the wings of prayer.

St. Mark, who was by birth a Jew, was converted to the
Faith by St. Peter, whom he afterward accompanied to Rome,
as secretary or interpreter. St. Peter sent him to Alexandria in
Egypt, and he was first bishop of that city. He governed his
See for about twenty years and in the end was martyred, A.D.
70, by the heathen. His symbol is a lion, for his Gospel begins
with the mission of John the Baptist in the desert and the
voice of the lion resounds in desert places.

MONDAY AFTER THE FIFTH SUNDAY AFTER EASTER
Station at St. Mary Major. The Rogations

In Rome, the Litanies on St. Mark’s day had a festal char-
acter. The triduum of penitential litanies before the feast of
the Ascension was first instituted at Vienne by St. Mamertus
about the year 470, and was accompanied by fasting anc
abstention from servile work. When ttome adopted this cus-
tom the fast was abolished, and the three days' prayer re-
tained. The procession and Mass followed the same order as
on April 25.

TUESDAY AFTER THE FIFTH SUNDAY AFTER EASTER
Station at St. John Lateran. The Rogations :
This station is a proof of the late introduction of the Roga-
tions into the Roman Liturgy. The Lateran Basilica is no
longer called the Basilica of the Savior, but of St. John the
Baptist, to whom is thus given the place immediately after the
Blessed Virgin and before the Apostle Peter. St. John the
Baptist is the type of that penitence which disposes us to
ask for and to obtain grace. The procession and Mass fol-
lowed the same order as on April 25.

WEDNESDAY BEFORE THE ASCENSION
Station at St. Peter. The Rogations

This station at the Vatican Basilica on the last day of the
Rogations Was instituted out of veneration for the tomb of the
Apostle, and in order to assimilate as far as possible the lesser
litanies to the greater ones of April 25 which ended at the
Basilica of St. Peter. The Litany of the Saints is & jewel of
ancient prayer; in its present form it dates from the Tenth
Century. The names of the saints are the glory of the
Church; the thought of them fills us with hope. 'The proces-
sion and Mass followed the same order as an April 25,

ASCENSION DAY
Station at St. Peter

The liturgical festival of the Ascension, whilst less ancient
than that of Pentecost, is one of the oldest of the cycle, was

already so universally observed that St. Augustine was able to
Attribute its institution to the Apostles themselves. At Rome,
the Pope, after the night Office was concluded, and after Mass
had been celebrated at the altar of St. Peter, was crowned
by the cardinals, and towards the sixth hour was accom-
panied by bishops and clergy to the Lateran.

On this day Jesus was taken up into heaven; His faithful
disciples continued to gaze heavenward. The contemplative
vision of Paradise is reserved, however, for those who have
already passed into the Church Triumphant. :

The supreme glorification of the Head who is this day en-
throned at the right hand of the Father in heaven affects the
members also, like the precious balsam which, as the psalmist
tells us, descended from the head of Aaron on to his flowing
beard and on to his gorgeous pontifical vestments. This
spiritual unction is the gift of the Holy Ghost, which Christ
obtains to-day from heaven for his Church. Hence the con-
nection between the Ascension and Pentecost is very close, nor
can we understand the one without the other.

SUNDAY AFTER THE ASCENSION
Station at St. Mary “ad Martyres"

On this day when the Pope celebrated Mass at Sancta Maria
rotunda, formerly in the Pantheon, he preached about the
coming of the Holy Ghost; to illustrate his words a shower of
roses in figura ejusdem Spiritus Sancti (as a figure of the
same Holy Spirit) was scattered from the central opening in
the roof upon the people as he preached,

THE NIGHT VIGIL OF PENTECOST
Station at St. John Lateran

In ancient times Baptism was administered on this night
in the Lateran exactly as on Easter Eve; but in the Twelfth
Century, when the ceremony had already been anticipated on
the afternoon of Holy Saturday, the Pope went at sunset to
celebrate solemnly Vespers and Matins at St. Peter's, In
private Masses the Lessons, the Litany, etc., are omitted, and
the Introit is recited as on the Wednesday after the Fourth
ord in Lent on the occasion of the great baptismal scru-

nies.

Throughout the Mass there are references to Baptism and
Confirmation. Although Baptism is distinct from Confirma-
tion, yet the latter takes its name of Confirmatio from the
fact that the coming down of the Holy Ghost into the soul
of the neophyte completes the work of his supernatural regen-
eration. Through its sacramental character it confers on
him a more perfect likeness to Jesus Christ, impressing on his
en the final seal or ratification of his union with the divine

edeemer.

PENTECOST SUNDAY

Peter is the leader around whom gathers the little flock of

to-day his pontifical primacy when he announces for the first
time the Gospel message to the representatives of the various
nations, without distinction of race or nationality, of country
or State.

On this day Christ, risen from the grave and seated at the
right hand of the Father, communicates His own divine life
to the members of His Mystical Body through the outpouring
of the Holy Ghost. So the Church having attained its full
development, now first appears before the world.

To appreciate the Introit it should be heard with the-ma-
jestic and joyful melody which the ancient Gregorian music
has allotted to it.

The Sequence, Veni, Sancte Spiritus, attributed to Innocent
TII, replaced under Pius V an older one of great beauty. This
Sequence is repeated daily throughout the Octave.

The Holy Ghost descends in power to vindicate the inno-
cence of Jesus by filling the Church with such surpassing
sanctity that it becomes, as it were, a fire prefiguring the final
judgment on the enemies of God. The faithful kneel at the
invocation of the Holy Spirit, Who at the last day requires
the restoration of the Christian soul to the body which has
been His mystical temple.

MONDAY IN PENTECOST WEEK
Station at the Apostles, at the Eudoxian Title ad Vincula

Originally the feast of Pentecost brought to an end in Rome
the fifty days of the Easter celebrations and introduced the fast
of the Ember Days of the summer quarter. Afterwards it
became customary to continue the festivity for two more
days, the Monday and the Tuesday, and, finally, after the
time of St. Leo the Great it was extended like the Octave of
Easter through the entire week.

The station was at St. Peter in Chains to avoid having two
successive stations at the Vatican.

To-day’s Gospel shows the immense contrast between God
and man. God so loves the world that, in order to save it, He
sacrifices His only-begotten Son, whilst mankind repays this
supreme love with utter ingratitude and obstinately chooses
darkness rather than light.

TUESDAY IN PENTECOST WEEK
Station at St. Anastasia

The titular church of St. Anastasia, once the Court church
during the Byzantine period, is chosen for to-day’s station
instead of the Basilica of St. Paul, as the latter is too far
out for a procession at this season of the year when the
weather is too warm.

During the Octave of Pentecost the Church celebrates more
especially the glories of the grace of the Holy Ghost and His
secret, work of sanctification in the Mystical Body of Christ.
Thus to-day she repeats in the verse for the Communion the
words of Our Lord: “The Spirit who proceedeth from the

http://ccwatershed.org

1672 ECCLESIASTICAL YEAR AND SACRED LITURGY

Father, he shall glorify me," and this glorification consists
chiefly in our sanctification and in the growth of the King-
dom of God in our souls. :

EMBER WEDNESDAY IN PENTECOST WEEK
Station at St. Mary Major

The station is at St. Mary Major, as is the rule in Rome
whenever the scrutinies of the candidates for Holy Orders are
to take place. The Mass bears a festival character; at one time
the Ember fast was postponed for a few weeks. Gregory VII
re-established the Ember Days in their proper place, but the
festal tone of the Office was retained.

'The contrast between to-day's fast and the Gospel lesson in
which Jesus offers Himself as the bread of eternal life is very
opportune. Man does not live by bread alone, but has an
&bsolute need of the Word of God, without Whom this earthly
existence is as a day without light, an empty pretence of life,
& gloomy image of death.

THURSDAY IN PENTECOST WEEK
Station at St. Lawrence-without-the-Walls

The station is now at St. Lawrence, although the Mass
would indicate that at one time it was at the Church of the
Twelve Apostles,

The Lesson from the Acts describes the joy which filled the
people of Samaria when the deacon Philip preached the
Gospel and worked miracles among them. This joy is a gift
of the Holy Ghost. If the world nowadays is more than ever
before restless and eager for amusements, it shows that it
has none of the joy and consolation of the divine Paraclete,
of which it has become unworthy by its resistance to His grace.

EMBER FRIDAY IN PENTECOST WEEK
Station at the Twelve Holy Apostles

The stational Mass was at one time placed at Sts. John and
Paul, but in the earlier days was held where the Roman Missal
now assigns it.

The spirit in which the Church solemnizes her feasts is one
of intense spiritual joy. The Introit to-day contains, as it
were, the summary of a great ascetic treatise on Christian joy:
“My lips shall rejoice when I shall sing to thee, alleluia, alle-
luia"; this is the inward consequence of this prayer of love.

In the Postcommunion we pray that the sacred mysteries of
the altar, which we have just celebrated in obedience to Our
Lord's command, may become a remedy which shall strengthen
our weakness in the hard trials that beset us.

EMBER SATURDAY IN PENTECOST WEEK.
Station at St. Peter

In the Seventh Century due to the postponement of the
Ember fast the station was at St. Stephen on the Celian

Hill; in the Eleventh Century a return was made to the primi-
tive place, St. Peter.

Of the five scriptural Lessons which precede the Gloria in
excelsis of the Mass, some refer to the feast of Pentecost and
Some to the “fast of the fourth month," as St. Leo the Great
calls it; they represent a kind of compromise or fusion of the
two rites. Formerly the vigil lasted throughout the night, and
twelve lessons were read, both in Greek and in Latin; but in
the time of St. Gregory the Great the vigil was shortened
and brought within more reasonable limits, as we now find.it
in our present Missal.

Ordinations are held on this day, the various Orders being
given as on the Ember Saturday in September.

The Paschal Season closes with the Mass, The Sacrifice
of the Mass fittingly brings the holy season of Easter to an
end. Our redemption is now accomplished, and the Holy
Ghost has come as though to insure.its Jasting efficacy by
means of the sacramental character which He impresses on
our souls. This is the special prerogative of the divine Para-
clete; His work is always definite, complete, and final, like
a conclusion which follows inevitably and irrevocably on its
premises. This is the reason why sins against the Holy Ghost
can never find pardon; for they are the outcome of the firal
hardening of the soul in utter hatred of Supyezic Love. ~

EMBER WEDNESDAY IN SEPTEMBER
Station at St. Mary Major

The Liturgy of the Ember Day fasts possessed originally a
distinctly festive quality, and was partly a festival of thanks-
giving for the ingathering of the fruits of the season. These
rustic feasts originated at Rome. ‘The observance of the
Ember Day fasts was only introduced into Milan in the days
of St. Charles Borromeo. .

The liturgy of this week has kept to a great extent un-
changed its early festive character, which recalls so vividly
the rural feasts of ancient Rome at the close of the vintage.

The idea of a special preparation for the solemn Ordina-
tions represents a later addition, which, however, dates from
ihe time of Gelasius I.

The station on Ember Wednesday is, as a rule, at St. Mary
Major, and the three Lessons in the Mass are & survival of
the ancient Roman liturgical use, which recalls those very
early times when to the two Lessons from the Law and the
Prophets, customary in the synagogues of the Dispersion, the
Apostles added a third lesson taken from the Gospels.

The passage from the Gospel of St. Mark (9, 16-28) teaches
that humble prayer, on the other hand, and fasting, spiritual-
ize our nature, which is thus raised to a supernatural state, and
render it invulnerable to the fatal blows of Satan.

'The Church to-day insistently invites us to rejoice, and tells
us that this holy joy in the Lord is that which nourishes our
Spiritual strength.

EMBER FRIDAY IN SEPTEMBER
Station at the Twelve Holy Apostles

The Station on Ember Friday is regularly at the Church of
the Twelve Holy Apostles in Rome. This arose from the
founding of this Church at the same time when the Friday
Liturgy became common. An ancient Roman custom of
fasting strictly three days in the week was relaxed somewhat
under Pope Callixtus and limited to the three periods of the
harvest, the vintage, and the drawing off of the new wine.

The Introit bids us seek the Lord; the search after God is
in the ancient rule of St. Benedict the one condition by which
the vocation of aspirants to the religious life is to be judged.
In the prayer we ask that to bodily abstinence we may add
mental observances. The Postcommunion of to-day is used
in many feasts of saints; we ask for greater benefits which can
be none other than the grace of union with Jesus in heaven.

EMBER SATURDAY IN SEPTEMBER
Station and Vigil at St. Peter’s

This Mass, which was celebrated during the night at St.
Peter's, is a last relic of the ancient night vigils held every
Sunday during the first three centuries. The verse for the
Offertory, “I have cried in the day and in the night before
thee,” recalls the original nocturnal character of this Mass.

‘The Lessons recall various Jewish fasts and feasts; thus the
second Lesson describes the Fast of Tabernacles. This is also
a day for Ordinations; after the first Lesson the Ostiarii or
door-keepers are ordained; after the second, the Lectors; after
the third, the Exorcists; after the fourth, the Acolytes; after
the fifth the Sub-deacons. This Lesson from Daniel and
containing the canticle Benedicite concluded the office and
served as a transition to the Mass. After the Benedicite came
the great Litany with the Ordination of new deacons and
priests of the Roman titles, The Roman Pontifical now places
ine Ordination of sub-deacons after the Lesson from Daniel.
The Ordination of deacons after the Epistle of St. Paul to
the Hebrews and the Ordination of priests before the last verse
of the Tract.

In the Postcommunion we ask God that His grace, of
which the Eucharist is the vital source, may be fully effica-
cious in us, so that the mystical union of the soul with Him
which is typified by this Sacrament may attain to its full
perfection in heaven.

Sbort Accounts of Certain Feasts and
Lives of Saints Found in the
Proper of Saints of This Missal

Feasts of Januarp

Jan. 11, St, Hyginus, Pope and Martyr: St. Irenæus after
listing Telesphorus as a martyr, adds the name of Hyginus,
His name was placed in the Roman Missal in the late Middle
Ages; during the first two centuries hardly any of the martyrs
had left any trace in the Liturgy. Their burial places were
generally unknown and their worship was local; there was
danger that Catholic devotion to the saints might be regarded
as a new form of paganism. Hyginus was a Pope and a martyr
(died 142). Because of the Octave of the Epiphany, his feast
a pelebrasea by a simple commemoration in the Mass

atuit.

Jan. 14. St. Hilary, Bishop, Confessor and Doctor of the
Church: This feast kept in Tours on January 13 from the end
of the Fifth Century was inserted in the Roman Calendar by
Pius IX. St. Hilary was a native of Poitiers, and his family
was one of the most illustrious in Gaul. In the year 353 he
was chosen bishop of Poitiers. About the year 356 he was
banished by order of Emperor Constantius. He died in his
native clty, January 13, 363.

St. Felix, Martyr: This holy priest born at Nola,
near Naples, died 312, is also commemorated on this day. He
is famous for many miracles. Cruel persecution failed to bring
about his death; to him the famous St. Paulinus owed his
conversion. -

Jan. 15. St. Paul, the First Hermit, Confessor: Innocent XIII
raised the traditional feast of St. Paul to the rank of a double
for the Universal Church. In the middle of the Third Cen-
tury, St. Paul, a native of Egypt, fled into the desert, at the
age of twenty-two, to escape the persecution that Emperor
Decius waged against Christians. There he devoted his life
to penance and prayer. He passed nearly a hundred years in
solitude, and from the time he was forty-three years old his
food was brought to him by ravens. The emblem of the Her-
mits of St. Paul was a palm-tree; in the Mass of to-day fre-
quent graceful allusions are made to this providential tree
which furnished both food and clothing to our saint, and
which by its spreading branches so truly symbolized in holy
Scripture the supernatural energy of the just. He died about
341, wrapped in the cloak of St. Anthanasius lent to him by
St. Anthony of the Desert.

St. Maurus, Abbot: St. Maurus, son of the Roman
patrician Eutychius and first disciple of St, Benedict, accord-

ing to the Dialogues of St. Gregory the Great, hastening in
obedience to help St. Placid who was drowning, walked dry-
footed on Nero’s lake at Subiaco. Died in 584, in France,

Jan. 16. St. Marcellus, Pope, Martyr: Marcellus did not die
2 violent death and was formerly venerated at Rome as a
Confessor in the original meaning of the word. Because of his
mildness in reconciling sinners by the Sacrament of Penance
the austere heretical party raised a tumult. The tyrant Max-
entius then condemned Marcellus to exile from the trials of
which he subsequently died. He may thus be rightly called a
martyr because of his sufferings.

Jan. 17. St. Anthony, Abbot: St. Anthony, the father and
patriarch of monks, in all likelihood founded in Egypt the
first monasteries authorized in the Church. He died in the
year 356, at the age of a hundred and four years. In conse-
quence of the disease called St. Anthony's fire, a great number
of hospitals and chapels called after him arose throughout
France and Italy.

JAN, 18. Feast of the Chair of St. Peter at Rome: Eleven
years after the ascension of Our Blessed Lord, St. Peter who
had been appointed the head of the Church on earth by Christ
Himself, transferred the seat of the Papacy from Antioch to
Rome, where he preached the Faith and established his
episcopal chair, and there the Bishops of Rome have been ever
since accounted his successors. The feast of the Chair of St.
Peter.is that of the foundation of the See of Rome. From the
Third Century it was symbolized by a chair carved in wood or
tufa, a relic now kept high in the apse of the Vatican Basilica.

St. Prisca, Virgin, Martyr: A ‘tommemoration is
likewise made of St. Prisca, a noble Roman virgin who suf-
fered martyrdom about the year 275. Her relics are preserved
in the ancient church in Rome which bears her name.

Jan. 19. Sts, Marius, Martha, Audifax, and Abachum,
Martyrs: Station at the Cemetery ad Nymphas; This group of
Persian. martyrs, consisting of husband, wife, and two sons,
were originally buried ad nymphas Catabassi. They came to
Rome under the Emperor Claudius II and visited Christians
cast into prison. The Mass for their feast is very ancient and
in excellent liturgical form,

St. Canute, King, Martyr: St. Canute (died 1086),
King of Denmark, by his zeal for the Faith made enemies who
put him to death in the Church of St. Alban. Pope Benedict
XV adorned his altar in the Church of St. Mary in Trastevere
(Rome) with artistic candelabra.

Jan, 20. Sts. Fabian, Pope, and Sebastian, Martyrs: Station
at the Cemetery of Calliztus and at that ad Catacumbas:
Pope St. Fabian ruled the Church from A.D. 236 to ap. 250.
He died a glorious martyr in the persecution under Decius in
250. St. Sebastian was a high officer in the army of Emperor
Diocletian. When it was learned that he was a Christian he
was condemned to death. He was first shot with arrows, but

http://ccwatershed.org

ACCOUNTS OF FEASTS AND LIVES OF SAINTS 1677

as he survived this he was finally beaten to death in 288, by
order of the Emperor.

Jan, 21. St. Agnes, Virgin, Martyr; Station at the “Lesser
Cemetery" of St. Agnes: St. Agnes, a Roman maiden, in her
thirteenth year was beheaded, in the year 304, for the sole
reason that she was a Christian. The original Mass for her
feast in the Gregorian Sacramentary had a magnificent Pre-
face. not inserted in modern Missals. She is praised by all
the Fathers of the Latin Church; the family of Constantine
built à magnificent basilica at her tomb.

JaN. 22. Sts. Vincent and Anastasius, Martyrs; Station at
the Vatican at the Oratory in Jerusalem and at the Mon-
astery Ad Aquas Salvias on the Ostian Way: These two mar-
tyrs also had each the honor of a separate stational Mass at
Rome. St. Vincent, a Spanish deacon, suffered death for the
Faith, under Diocletian, in the year 300. St. Anastasius, a
native of Persia, was also put to death for being a Christian.
The feasts of these two are both celebrated on the same day.
The example of the heroic fortitude of the martyrs who in the
hope of the resurrection, rather than betray the Faith, seek no
escape from death, is, indeed, necessary in our days when a
sentimental pietistic feeling threatens to replace in the con-
science of many the practical profession of the Christian life.

Jan. 23. St. Raymund of Pennafort, Confessor: St. Raymund
was born in 1175 of a noble Spanish family. In middle life
he entered the Order of St. Dominic. In 1250 he was called to
Rome by Pope Gregory IX, who made him his confessor and
grand penitentiary. He refused the position of archbishop
and also that of general of his Order, and devoted himself to
labors among infidels. He died in 1275.

St. Emerentiana, Virgin, Martyr: St. Emerentiana
is said to have been stoned by the pagans, when, while still a
catechumen, she was discovered praying at the tomb of St.
Agnes, her foster-sister.

Jan. 24. St. Timothy, Bishop, Martyr: St. Timothy was a
convert of St. Paul who believed that he was intended for an
evangelist. Timothy was ordained and at once became the
beloved fellow-worker of St. Paul. Finally, he became the first
bishop of Ephesus, and while there received the two Epistles
which bear his name. In the year 97 he was beaten and stoned
to death because of his opposition to idolatrous ceremonies.
Pius IX in 1854 raised his feast to the rank of double.

Jan. 25. Conversion of St. Paul the Apostle; Station at St.
Paul: Since the eighth century the feast of the conversion of
St. Paul has been set apart by the Church to return thanks to
almighty God for His act of grace in bringing the future
apostle to the Faith. At one time the feast was even a holy-day
of obligation. After the miracle of Christ’s Resurrection no
other wonder in the history of the early Church is a stronger
proof of the divine origin of Christianity than the marvelous
conversion of St. Paul.

JAN. 26. St. Polycarp, Bishop, Martyr: Polycarp, whose name
signifies much fruit, was ordained by St. John and made bishop
of Smyrna. He was martyred in Smyrna in 166. ,

Jan, 27. St. John Chrysostom, Bishop, Confessor, Doctor of
the Church: St. John was born at Antioch in 344. He was
called Chrysostom, which means “golden mouthed,” on account
of his eloquence. He was made bishop of Constantinople in
398, and died in 407 after suffering bitter persecution.

JAN. 28. St. Peter Nolasco, Confessor: St. Peter was born of
a noble family in Languedoc, about 1189, He founded the
Order for the Redemption of Captives, and for twenty-five
years toiled to release Christian captives from Turkish slavery.
Worn out by his labors he died on Christmas Day, 1256.

The Second Feast of St. Agnes, Virgin, Martyr:
According to some, St. Agnes appeared to her parents eight
days after her martyrdom. The ancient sacramentaries show
clearly that this day celebrates the actual earthly birthday of
St. Agnes; the nativity of John the Baptist and of the Blessed
Virgin are thus celebrated because they were free from original
sin; the earthly birth of St. Agnes is celebrated because her
whole life abounded in divine grace.

Jan. 29. St. Francis de Sales, Bishop, Confessor, and Doctor
of the Church: St. Francis de Sales was born near Annecy,
1567. He became bishop of Geneva in 1602. In union with
St. Jane Frances of Chantal he founded the Order of the
Visitation. His life was filled with good works. He died Decem-
ber 28, 1622. Pope Pius IX made him a Doctor of the Church.

Jan. 30. St. Martina, Virgin, Martyr: St. Martina was a noble
Roman lady who was martyred in the Third Century. Urban
VIII composed hymns for her feast.

Jan. 31. St. John Bosco, Confessor: St. John was born Aug.
16, 1815, at Becchi, Italy. His life work was that of taking care
of young boys and girls. For this purpose he founded the Con-
gregation of the Salesian Fathers in 1852 and the Daughters
of Our Lady Help of Christians in 1872. Such was his zeal
for the welfare of young people that today there are over 1,400
of his institutions spread over the earth. He died in 1888 and
was canonized by Pope Pius XI, Easter Sunday, 1934.

persecution of Trajan he was condemned to death and sent in
chains to Rome. While on the way he wrote letters to various

prayer Which precedes the Pater Noster, known as the “Great
Intercession."

Fes, 2. The Feast of the Purification of the Blessed Virgin
Mary, or Candlemas Day: The celebration of this feast began
very early at Jerusalem. It commemorates not only the Purif-
cation of the Blessed Virgin but also the meeting of Simeon
and the Infant Jesus in the Temple. In the East it was re-
garded as a feast of Our Lord; Pope Sergius I ordered that it
Should be preceded by a penitential procession to St. Mary
Major, and thus it became predominantly a feast of the Blessed
Virgin. The blessing of the candles as a peculiar rite dates
only from the Tenth Century. Candles were distributed at
Rome at all nocturnal processions; it is probable that this
custom has been retained on this day because of the words of
the canticle of Simeon, “Lumen ad reuelationem gentium."

FEB. 3. St. Blaise, Bishop, Martyr: St. Blaise, bishop of
Sebaste in Armenia, suffered among other torments that of
flaying with a wool-combers' brush under Licinius, and was
finally beheaded (317). In the Eleventh Century there were
thirty-five churches dedicated to him in Rome. He saved the
life of a child who was dying choked by a bone. In consequence
he is invoked especially for healing all diseases of the throat.
His throat is preserved as a relic in the Vatican. The church
blesses two candles and prays for all those whose necks the
candles shall touch that they be delivered from diseases of the
throat and every other evil He is one of the fourteen
“auxiliary” saints.

Fes. 4. St. Andrew Corsini, Bishop, Confessor: St. Andrew,
born at Florence of the noble Corsini family, was consecrated
at birth to the Blessed Virgin. His mother dreamed she had
given birth to a wolf, which, on entering into the Carmelite
Church, was suddenly changed into a lamb. As a young man
fe fell into many sins, but led by divine grace he entered the
Carmelite Order, became its head in 'Tuscany and later bishop
of Fiesole. He was a model bishop, recognizing that the pas-
toral office demands not mere goodness but an eminent state
of sanctity. Died 1373.

Fes, 9. St. Agatha, Virgin, Martyr: St. Agatha, born in
Sicily, resisted the solicitations of Governor Quintianus, who
ordered her breast to be torn, but it was healed on the following
night by the Apostle, St. Peter, as is mentioned in the Com-
munion. She died uttering a prayer in 251, Her name is in
the Canon of the Mass.

Fes. 6. St. Titus, Bishop, Confessor: St. Titus, the first
bishop of the island of Crete, died about the end of the First
Century of our era, He received from St. Paul an Epistle, which
with the two Epistles to St. Timothy, forms the group known
in the New Testament as the Pastoral Epistles.

martyr, was beheaded under Diocletian at the beginning of the-

Fourth Century. Legend says that at the moment of her mar-
tyrdom the lawyer Theophilus begged of her flowers of Para-
dise, which she sent to him,

FEB. 7. St. Romuald, Abbot: St. Romuald at the age of 20,.
undertook a life of prayer, meditation, and penance. He
founded under the rule of St. Benedict an Order which takes
its name from a field owned by Maldule. In a vision Romuald
while in this field saw a ladder on which monks clothed in
white ascended and descended. He acquired this 3eld and built
the monastery which he called Camaldule.

Fes. 8. St. John of Matha, Confessor: St. John of Matha, a.
Frenchman, with his compatriot, St. Felix of Valois, founded
the Trinitarian Order for the redemption of Christian slaves.
from the Mohammedans. The little cell in which he lived in
Rome is still to be seen. On the door of the church nearby
there still exists, dating from tiie time of Innocent III, a
striking mosaic of the Savior between two slaves, one white
and the other black.

Fes. 9. St. Cyril of Alexandria, Bishop, Confessor, Doctor
of the Church: This feast was instituted in 1882 by Leo XIII,
who chose this day because January 28, on which date the
saint’s name appears in the Martyrology, is already assigned.
to another Office. The name of St. Cyril immediately evokes
the memory of those celebrated early sessions of the Council of
Ephesus, when, through the agency of Cyril, the most splendid
pages of the doctrine concerning the Blessed Virgin Mary were
recorded. Nestorius having thrown doubt upon the dogma that.
in Jesus Christ there is only one person, it consequently re-
sulted from this heresy that there could no longer be bestowed
upon the Blessed Virgin the title of Mother of God, by which
the faithful until then had been accustomed to invoke her.
He died a.D. 444.

St. Apollonia, Virgin, Martyr: St. Apollonia, a
Christian virgin of Alexandria, was martyred under the Em-
pcror Decius (249). Because during her martyrdom her teeth
were broken and torn out, devotion spread to her as a pro-
tectress against tooth-ache. Under divine impulsion she joy-
fully cast herself into the flames prepared for her.

Fes. 10. St. Scholastica, Virgin: St. Scholastica, the twin
sister of St. Benedict, followed in the footsteps of piety of her
saintly brother. In the Dialogues of St. Gregory, the Great it
is related that on the occasion of the last conversation of St.
Scholastica with her brother, he had determined to return to:
his monastery at evening, but Scholastica leaning with her:
elbows on the table and holding her forehead in her hands,
began to shed tears. A violent storm immediately burst forth,
&nd the rain fell in torrents, so that Benedict was compelled
to remain and continue the spiritual conversation. St. Gregory
Says that on that occasion she had more power than he over
the heart of God, because whilst St. Benedict upheld the law
of discipline and justice she, on the other hand, appealed to-
& higher law, that of love: plus potuit, quia plus amavit. She
died in the early half of the Sixth Century.

Fes. 11. The Feast of the Apparition of Our Blessed Lady
at Lourdes: Our Blessed Lady appeared to Bernadette Soubi-
rous on February 11, 1858, and said “I am the Immaculate
Conception.” Pope Pius X in 1908 ordered that this feast be
kept in the Universal Church on this day. The miracles at
Lourdes have continued to the astonishment of the world
Gown to the present time. In 1933 Bernadette was canonized
and her feast fixed on this day.

Fes, 12. The Seven Holy Founders of the Order of the
Servants of the Blessed Virgin Mary: These holy men, canon-
ized by Pope Leo XIII, were Florentine merchants, who lived
in the Thirteenth Century. They.established the Order of the
Religious Servants of the Holy Virgin, commonly called the
Servites, which aimed to increase the devotion of Our Lady's
Seven Sorrows. 'Their work was rewarded by tbe conversion
of many sinners, They were called Servites by little children
whose innocent lips were miraculously opened on one of the
pubie squares of Florence to utter the praises of these seven

oly men.

Fes. 14. St. Valentine, Priest, Martyr: St. Valentine was a
holy priest in Rome who assisted the martyrs in the persecu-
tions under Claudius II. In the end he was beheaded for being
a Christian, February 14, 270. He was a doctor of medicine as
well as a priest; one of the catacombs is dedicated to him.

Fes. 15. Sts. Faustinus and Jovita, Martyrs: Sts. Faustinus
and Jovita, two brothers, suffered death for the Faith at
Brescia in Northern Italy, about a.D. 121.

FER. 18. St. Simeon, Bishop, Martyr: This holy Bishop was,
according to an ancient tradition, the last offshoot of the
noble stem of Jesse, and a distant relative of Our Savior. He
became Bishop of Jerusalem and was crucified under Emperor
Trajan, A.D. 107,

. Fes, 22. The Feast of the Chair of St. Peter at Antioch:
In the ancient Roman traditions the Feast of St. Peter's Chair
at Rome Was kept on this date; this custom remained unaltered
down to the Sixteenth Century. The Chair of St. Peter became
a symbol of the universal primacy which Peter and his succes-
sors exercised over the whole Church. The Mass is the same
as that on January 18, except that there is no commemoration
of St. Prisca,

Pes. 23. St. Peter Damian, Bishop, Confessor, Doctor of the
Church: This saintly Bishop. of Ostia, selected as advisor by
seven popes in succession was a fearless and distinguished son
of the Order of St. Benedict, who, in the Eleventh Century—
a very turbulent period marked by antipopes, heresies, and a
lamentable relaxation of the religious spirit—was like a column
of fire guiding the faithful along the narrow path of the Cross
of Christ that-leads in safety to heaven. He passed from this
life to God on February 22, 1072, but because of the feast of
the Chair of St. Peter, his yearly commemoration takes place

to-day. Leo XII ordered that his Office—which was at first ob-
served only by the Benedictines—should be extended to the
Universal Church.

The Vigil of St. Matthias the Apostle: Com-
memoration is made, in the Mass of St. Peter Damian, of the
vigil, or eve of St. Matthias, Apostle, whose feast is kept on
February 24, except in leap year; at that time it is kept on
February 25.

The Mass for the vigil of an apostle will be found in the
Common of Saints, page 1299. This vigil does not appear in
ancient liturgical documents; it was instituted by St. Pius V
in order to raise the feast of St. Mathias to the same dignity
as that of the feast of the other apostles.

Fes, 24 (In leap year Feb. 25). St. Matthias, Apostle: St.
Matthias was elected to take the place of Judas among the
apostles. He is honored as a martyr by the Church. In the
Roman Canon of the Mass the name of Matthias is not among
those of the twelve apostles, whose number is completed by the
addition of the name of Paul. In the series of apostolic men
in the prayer preceding the Pater noster, Matthias is named
between the Proto-martyr and the Apostle Barnabas, His relics
are said to be kept in the Basilica of St. Mary Major. St. Clem-
ent of Alexandria says that he gave to us the beautiful maxim:
“We must wholly subdue the body through mortification, sub-
jecting it to the spirit of the crucified Jesus,”

Feasts of March

Mar. 4, St. Casimir, Confessor: The festival of this saint,
who preserved a virginal purity in the midst of the frivolities
of a royal court (died 1483), was instituted by Paul V. He
practiced bodily mortification in a high degree, gave abundant
alms and meditated continually on the sufferings of Christ.

St. Lucius, Pope, Martyr: St. Lucius is praised
greatly by St. Cyprian for his manner of dealing with lapsed
Christians; he was exiled from Rome almost immediately after
he became bishop; he lived only a few weeks after his return.

Mar. 6. Sts. Perpetua and Felicitas, Martyrs: St. Perpetua
had just become a mother and St. Felicitas was on the point
of becoming one, when they were thrown into prison at
Carthage during the persecution of Severus. They prayed
that they might become martyrs and were filled with joy at
their condemnation. They were put to death in the amphi-
theatre in 202. They were the first saints to be included from
outside Rome in the Roman Calendar of the Fourth Century.
They are named in the Canon of the Mass.

Man. 7. St. Thomas Aquinas, Confessor, Doctor: At the age
of 5, St. Thomas was committed to the care of the Benedictine
monks at Monte Cassino; he died at the Abbey of Fossanova
in 1274. He is called the “Angel of the Schools,” ‘The special
glory of St. Thomas, his most salient virtue, is the profound

love which he shows for the sacred tradition of the Church.
He appears almost to be one with it, and has therefore become
its most authoritative interpreter. It would, indeed, not be
easy to find in the annals of Christianity a more inspired mind,
reflecting better the perfections of the angelic spirits than
that of the great Dominican, who, building upon the founda-
tions laid by the ancient Fathers of the Church, gave with
marvelous accuracy a definite form to our knowledge of God.
Leo XIII declared him the patron of all catholic schools.

Mar. 8. St. John of God, Confessor: St. John, because of his
divine love called “of God" founded the order of Brothers
Hospitallers, which devotes itself to the healing of bodies and
of souls. He is patron of Catholic hospitals and of all those
whose last days of expiation upon earth, before appearing at
the judgment seat of God, are passed amid the throes and
agonies of disease. Leo XIII caused his name to be placed
in the Litany of the Dying. The pharmacy of the apostolic
palaces is always under the direction of a Religious of the
Order of St. John of God, who thus holds the post of infir-
marian to the Pope. He died March 8, 1550.

Mar. 9. St. Frances of Rome, Widow: St. Frances, a noble
Roman lady, married at the age of 11, was for forty years a
perfect Christian spouse. Pope Innocent X placed her name
in the Calendar of the Church as a striking example and
heavenly patron of the state of widowhood. She was professed
as an Oblate of the Basilica of Sta. Maria Nova under the
rule of St. Benedict, She renounced all her possessions and
labored for the poor even joining crowds of beggars asking for
alms, She died 1440.

Mar. 10. The Forty Holy Martyrs of Sebaste: The Forty
Martyrs of Sebaste suffered in Armenia under Emperor Lici-
nius, A.D. 320. Refusing to sacrifice to idols they were stripped
of their clothes and exposed on a frozen pond. They asked
God that “the forty who had entered the lists might be forty
to win the crown, forty being the number consecrated by the
fasts of Jesus, Moses and Elias.” God can raise up sons to
Abraham from the stone; if we do not correspond to his grace
the loss will be ours alone, since God will perform by means
of another that which He would otherwise have deigned to
accomplish through our instrumentality. This is what hap-
pened in the case of the Forty Martyrs of Sebaste. The angels
had prepared forty crowns in heaven; one of the confessors
of the Faith broke down under the torments, and apostatized,
but his place was immediately taken by one of the execution-
ers, who thereby merited the fortieth crown. They were much
praised by St. Basil and St, Gregory of Nyssa, and were greatly
venerated even in the West.

MAR. 12. St. Gregory the Great, Pope, Confessor, and Doc-
tor of the Church. Night Vigil and Stational Mass at St. Peter:
St. Gregory I, called the Great, was one of the most illustrious
of the Popes. For fourteen years his pontificate was a model
of ecclesiastical rule. He healed schisms; revived discipline;
aided in the conversion of the Spanish and French Goths, and

kindled anew in Britain the light of the Faith. He set in order
the prayers and chant of the Church; and the Church reckons
him one of her four great Doctors. He died March 12, 604.
'To this day the Pope when solemnizing High Mass at St. Peter's
is vested at the altar which covers the tomb of St. Gregory.

"Man. 17. St. Patrick, Bishop, Confessor: St. Patrick, Apostle
of Ireland, was sent to that country by Pope St. Celestine as
a missionary. He found Ireland heathen and left it Christian.
Bt. Patrick died, A.D. 464, and was buried at Down, in Ulster.
He scattered the seed of the Gospel with such success that,
from the innumerable. band of holy men and women which
1t produced, the verdant land of Erin was known in the Middle
Ages by the glorious title of the "Island of Saints"—a glory
which three centuries of bitter persecution of the Catholic
F'aith at the hands of the Anglican Church utterly failed to
eclipse. Pius IX in 1859 as a tribute to the vigorous faith of
this nation raised the feast of St. Patrick which has appeared
in the Roman Breviary since the Fifteenth Century, to the
rank of a double. Patrick is the great patriarch of the Irish
episcopate, and of Irish monachism. This monachism left
its mark throughout medieval Europe wherever the Scotti
planted their tents and introduced their traditions. His feast
is a holy day of obligation in Ireland; there is a church dedi-
cated to him in Rome, not far from the Via Salaria. Ü

Mar. 18. St. Cyril of Jerusalem, Bishop, Confessor. Doctor
of the Church: St. Cyril, Patriarch or Archbishop of Jeru-
salem, was proclaimed a Doctor of the Church by Pope Leo

. His instructions in Christian doctrine, solid, simple,
and profound, show the teachings of the Church in his day
to be the same as they are to-day. He died in 386, after a
troubled episcopate of thirty-five years.

Mar. 19. St. Joseph, Spouse of the Blessed Virgin Mary,
Confessor: Joseph, says the Holy Scripfure, was a just man;
he was innocent and pure; he was gentle and tender; he was
prudent and a lover of silence; above all he was faithful and
Obedient to divine calls. Devotion to St. Joseph has developed
amongst Christian people in so marvelous a manner, follow-
ing such wonderful laws, that it is impossible not to recognize
therein the working of Divine Providence, In the early Church
the festivals were such as referred to the mystery of the salva-
tion of the world. ‘The golden period of devotion to Mary began
with the Council of Ephesus. Second only to Mary comes
Joseph who although not the Father of Jesus, had a father's
authority over Him. He was invested with this authority by
the Eternal Father. The commands of God to the Holy renty
were delivered by an angel to Joseph. During the Fourteen
and Fifteenth Centuries devotion to him grew rapidly fostered
by St. Bridget of Sweden and St. Bernardine of Sienna. Plus
IX declared Joseph “Patron of the Universal Church."

Mar. 21. St. Benedict, Abbot: The son of a member of the
Roman nobility, he was born at Nursia, near Spoleto, about
the year 480. While still quite young, he left Rome, giving up
his studies and career in the world and retired to a place called

Subiaco, where he lived as a hermit, receiving the monastic
habit from Romanus, monk of a neighboring monastery. After
three years of eremitical life, was made abbot -of Vicovaro,
but the monks, finding his way of life too strict, strove to
Poison him. He left them and founded, first, twelve monas-
teries at Subiaco, and later the great Abbey of Monte Cassino
where. he wrote the Holy Rule. He died in 543. In medieval
Rome there were more than eighty Benedictine monasteries
charged with the singing of the Divine Office in the chief
basilicas. St. Gregory the Great was the first to encourage the
universal devotion to St. Benedict, when less than fifty years
after the death of the Saint, he wrote his life and made known
his rule.. It was owing to him that this immortal code of
perfection, kept for greater security in the papal archives at
the Lateran, very soon superseded in Europe all other earlier
forms of monastic life and became the Regula Monachorum,
the eminently Roman and papal rule of the monastic devout
life. To the Benedictines is conceded a proper Mass with a
sequence and Preface proper.

Mar. 24. St. Gabriel, Archangel: The festival of St. Gabriel
was appointed for this day in the Roman Missal by Pope Bene-
dict XV. It is placed close to the festival of the Annunciation
of the Blessed Virgin to whom he announced that she had been
chosen to become the Mother of God. In the Old Testament
he is mentioned in the Book of Daniel, and he was the Arch-
angel who appeared to the High Priest, Zachary, the father
of John the Baptist.

Mar. 25. The Annunciation of the Blessed Virgin Mary:
Collecta at St. Adrian. Station at St. Mary Major: This ancient
feast, like that of Christmas, was considered originally as a
feast of Our Lord, rather than of the Blessed Virgin. It has
been fixed on the date of March 25, since before the Seventh
Century.

At the High Mass on this day the celebrant and his minis-
ters kneel on the altar-steps during the singing of the Et
incarnatus est, in the Nicene Creed. Should the feast fall on
Passion Sunday, it is celebrated on the following Monday.
If it falls in Holy or Easter week it is celebrated on the Monday
after Low Sunday.

The Mass, although we are in the middle of Lent, carries us

straight back to Advent. Yet this white winter blossom which

\ recalls the snows of Christmas has its own deep significance,

for it reminds us of Gideon's fleece—that gracious symbol of

]the spotless virginity of the Mother of God—which was found

by the Prophet newly wet with the dew of spring in the midst
of a sun-baked plain in Palestine.

Mar. 27, St. John Damascene, Confessor, Doctor of the
Church: St. John of Damascus suffered much from the Greek
Emperors of Constantinople for upholding the teachings of
the Church in regard to the religious honor shown to pictures
and statues of the saints. After many persecutions, he went
to his reward in heaven in 754. Pope Leo XIII ordered his

feast to be celebrated by the Church. His many writings, his
knowledge, piety, and eloquence caused him to be compared
by the Second Council of Nicza to a "river of gold," He was
the last Byzantine to contribute anything to the formation
of the Catholic theological structure. While not a bishop,
nor a leader of men, by loving truth and preaching it fearlessly
he became a light to shine in the darkness of those separated
from the apostolic communion.

Man. 28. St. John Capistran, Confessor: St. John Capistran,
who was born in 1385 (died 1456) distinguished himself in early
life as & public man. At the age of thirty he entered the
Franciscan Order and was ordained a priest. From that time
his zeal for the salvation of souls was unceasing. In a crusade
against the Turks during the Fifteenth Century he was the
leading spirit. He was canonized in 1724, and Pope Leo XIII
ordered that his feast should be observed by the whole Church.
To his preaching and prayer is attributed the victory over the
Turks under the walls of Belgrade. The prayers in the Mass
make allusion to this triumph and to the fervent devotion
practiced by the great Franciscan toward the holy name of

esus.

Feasts of April

APR. 2. St. Francis of Paola, Confessor: St, Francis was born
at Paola in Calabria (1416). At an early age he led such a holy
life that many disciples came to follow his way of living in the
desert place to which he had retired. He gave them a rule and
formed them into the Order of the Minims placing them in
humility a degree below the Friars Minor. His prophecy that
the Motherhouse of his order would one day stand on the
Pincian Hill in Rome was fulfilled in 1493 when Charles VIII
built a church there. After a long life, famous for prophecies
and miracles which he seemed to work at will, he died at the
age of 91 in 1508.

Apr. 4. St. Isidore, Bishop, Confessor, Doctor of the Church:
Devotion to this great Doctor of Catholic Spain, rose in
Rome shortly after his death in 636. The Synod of Toledo
composed of fifty-two bishops in 652 proclaimed him “Doctor
most famous of our day, most recent glory of the Catholic
Church, following in time those who had gone before us, but
not lower in his knowledge of doctrine.” He was the great
source of ecclesiastical learning for many centuries. His in-
struction on the office of a bishop states that the bishop should
read the Scriptures and the Canons, imitate the examples of
saints, engage in vigils, fasts and prayer, join humility with
authority, and place his chastity under the guard of charity,
without which all other virtues are nothing.

APR. 5. St. Vincent Ferrer, Confessor: This great Dominican
of the Fourteenth Century (died 1419), calling himself "the
Angel of the Judgment" when two or more aspirants claimed
the papal throne, brought back to repentance by his powerful
preaching and miracles, a great multitude of the faithful. At

first he favored the anti-pope, Benedict XIII, to whom he was
confessor, but later realizing the claim of the ambitious Span-
iard to be indefensible, he left him and foretold that the skull
of the anti-pope would be tossed about the street Dy children
as a plaything, This came to pass in 1811, when the French
occupied the castlé of Illucca and cast the corpse of tbe anti-
Pope buried there out of the window. He celebrated a sung
Mass every morning early, imitating the manner of its insti-
tution by Our Divine Savior in the room of the Last Supper.

‘Apr. 11. St. Leo the Great, Pope, Confessor, Doctor of the
Church: ‘The feast of this great Pope was transferred from
the day of his death, November 10, 461, to April 11, the day on
which his body was first laid in the tomb under the outer porch
of the old St. Peter's. He is called "Great," not only for his
learning, but also for his successful government of the. Church
by overcoming heretics and saving Rome from the invasion
of Attila. The magnificent Offices of Advent are attributed to
him and certainly several of his compositions are contained
in the Leonine Sacramentary. By his humility, mildness, and
charity this great Pope won the love and reverence of em.
perors, princes, and people of every rank.

APR. 13. St. Hermenegild, Martyr: St. Hermenegild, a Span-
ish prince, was a convert from Arianism, thanks to the influ-
ence of his Catholic wife and the instructions and prayers of
St. Leander. His conversion so angered his father, the king,
that the monarch had him cast into prison. On Easter night
a heretical Arian bishop was sent to him with Holy Commu-
nion, but he refused to receive even the Easter Communion
from the hands of a heretic, and his father then put him to
death. St. Gregory the Great learned of his martyrdom while
at Constantinople and inserted the account in the third book
of his Dialogues.

Apr, 14. St. Justin, Martyr: St. Justin, a converted philoso-
pher, and probably priest, is the greatest of the early Apolo-
getes. Before arriving at the sublime knowledge of the Cross
he passed through all the various schools of philosophy. He
fearlessly proclaimed Christianity, both in argument with the
Jew Trypho and in his Apologies to the Emperors and the
Senate. As in the writings of St. Justin, so in his Mass said
to-day, the antithesis between human learning and divine
knowledge is ever recurring. Thus in the Gradual we read
“The wisdom of this world is foolishness with God” (I Cor. iii,
19). Under the Emperor Marcus Aurelius he was scourged
&nd put to death April 13, 162. His tomb is believed to be in
the Cemetery of Priscilla, and in 1882, Pope Leo XIII made him
after Thomas Aquinas, Patron of Catholic Philosophy, and
prescrived the celebration of his feast throughout the whole

urch.

Sts. Tiburtius, Valerian and Maximus, Martyrs:
St. Valerian was espoused to St. Cecilia, and was converted
to the Faith by her, and with her became the means of con-
verting his brother, Tiburtius. Maximus, the officer appointed
to attend their execution, was brought to the Faith by their
Pxample.

Apr. 17. St. Anicetus, Pope, Martyr: St. Anicetus was Pope
when St. Polycarp, the disciple of St. John came to Rome to
consult about the date on which Easter should be kept. The
reasons offered by St. Polycarp did not convince St. Anicetus,
nor did the argument of Anicetus move St. Polycarp. St.
Anicetus had such respect for St. Polycarp, who had known
St. John the Evangelist, that although disagreeing on this
matter of discipline, he allowed St. Polycarp to celebrate Mass
in tne presence of all the faithful in Rome. He was given the
title of martyr, because of his sufferings for the Faith, although
he was not put to death by his persecutors. He died about 161,
and was buried in the Vatican near the tomb of the Apostles,
where all the Popes of the first two centuries were buried.

‘Apr. 21. St. Anselm, Bishop, Confessor, Doctor of the
Church: St. Anselm was born at Aoust, in Piedmont, of noble
parents. He embraced the religious life, became an abbot, and
succeeded Blessed Lanfranc as Archbishop of Canterbury.
Banished by William Rufus, he found at Rome under Urban II
@ Warm welcome; he assisted the Pope in combating the errors
of the Greeks at the Council of Bari. Full of faith he said,
“God loves nothing better in this world than the liberty of
His Church." Pope Leo XIII on his death bed composed some
verses in honor of St. Anselm and caused them to be sent at
once to the great basilica adjoining the university college: of
the Benedictine Order, which had been built under this Pontiff,
(Died April 21, 1109.)

Apr. 22. Sts. Soter and Caius, Popes, Martyrs: St. Soter was
raised to the Papacy after the death of St. Anicetus, about 161,
and was martyred under Emperor Marcus Aurelius. St. Caius
succeeded St. Eutychian as Pope in 283. He died April 21, 296.
For his sufferings under Diocletian he was made.a martyr
although he died a natural death. Ancient inscriptions bear
testimony to the devotion of the faithful to these Pontifis,

Apr. 23. St. George, Martyr: The feast of St. George is found
in the Ethiopian, Coptic, Syriac, and Latin liturgies. The
ancient “Georgia” is named after him. He is renowned as
the armed defender of the Church, one who carried the
trophies of victory over the enemy. The Emperor Diocletian
had at first favored this illustrious son of a noble family of
Cappadocia, but when St. George reproached the Emperor
with his cruelty to Christians, he was cast into prison and
put to death with such great cruelty that in the Eastern
Liturgy he is styled the “Great Martyr.” England chose him
for her patron in 800.

Apr. 24. St. Fidelis of Sigmaringen, Martyr: St. Fidelis of
Sigmaringen (Suabia) was born in 1577 and was ordained a
priest in 1612. He brought so many into the Church that he
incurred the hatred of the Swiss Calvinists, who killed him
in 1622. He is the proto-martyr of the later reformed Capuchin
Friars Minor. :

to the feast of St. Mark; if the feast be transferred the Great
Litanies are not transferred, unless Easter Sunday should fall
on April 25, when the procession would take place on the
following Tuesday. The feast of St, Mark was not regularly
inserted into the Roman Calendar until about the Twelfth
Century. This is explained by the original association of the
commemorations of the saints with their tombs, Although St.
Mark was among the first who with St. Peter brought the
Faith to Rome and at the request of the Romans themselves,
wrote his Gospel, he did not die in the Holy City,

Mark is said to have been the young. man who, on the night
that Jesus was made prisoner, left the sheet in which he was
clothed, in the hands of the soldiers and fled naked. He ac-
companied his cousin, Barnabas and Paul, on their first apos-
tolic mission. Paul, however, would not take him along on the
second journey; when Paul was in prison at Rome, Mark was
again closely associated with him. To St. Mark is attributed

.the foundation of the Church in Alexandria, which See he

governed for about twenty years and in the end was martyred,
about the year 70. His body was taken to Venice whose patron
he has been since the Ninth Century and where there is a
great Basilica dedicated to his name.

Apr. 26. Sts. Cletus and Marcellinus, Popes and Martyrs:
According to the testimony. of St. Irenæus, Cletus is to be
identified with Anacletus, who governed the Church after
Linus and before Clement. Of his actions we know nothing
beyond the notice in the Liber Pontificalis to the effect that
he embellished the. tombs of the Princes of the Apostles, and
that he himself was buried in the Vatican. The fact that
Cletus was raised to the supreme pontificate, whilst the im-
mediate disciples of Peter and Paul were still living, testifies
to his great merits.

Even more obsctire is the history of Pope Marcellinus, con-
cerning whom the strangest legends were circulated from very

' early days. According to certain apocryphal writings, dating

from the time of the disputes of Symmachus, he had formerly
offered incense to idols, but had afterwards expiated his
apostasy like Peter, and had voluntarily exposed himself to
martyrdom. St. Cletus lived in the First Century; St. Marcel-
linus at the end of the third. 7 -

Arn. 27. St. Peter Canisius, Confessor and Doctor of the
Church: St. Peter Canisius, called “The Second Apostle of
Germany,” as St, Boniface was the first, was the first German
Jesuit. He was born at Nymwegen, May 8, 1521, and was
received into the Society of Jesus by Blessed Peter Faber, at
Mayence, May 8, 1543. After an extraordinarily apostolic
life as teacher, orator, writer, adviser, he died a holy death
on December 21, 1597, at Freiburg, Switzerland. He was
beatified November 20, 1868. and canonized May 21, 1925.
He had a great love for children; to him we owe the first
catechism of Christian Doctrine; he is often pictured as sur-
rounded by a group of devout children, teaching them the
catechism. 'The greatest stress he placed upon the education

of priests. “To train good priests," he said, "is the simplest
way towards the sanctification of an entire people."

Arr. 28. St. Paul of the Cross, Confessor: St. Paul of the
Cross, born at Ovada, founded the Congregation of the Pas-
sionists, amid the solitary rocks of Monte Argentaro. He felt
that in order to form apostles and missionaries it is necessary
to have retirement from the world, seclusion, spiritual] recol-
lection, strict poverty, and austere penance. He preached
everywhere the mystery of the Cross; the Passionists make a
vow to propagate the memory of Our Savior’s passion, He died
in Rome October 18, 1775.

St. Vitalis, Martyr: St. Vitalis was a martyr of
Ravenne; the Emperor Justinian erected a splendid basilica
in his honor. He was martyred by being buried alive up to
his waist and then stoned.

Arn. 29. St. Peter of Verona, Martyr: St. Peter was a
Dominican priest of unspotted life, who labored earnestly
for the conversion of heretics. In the end he was cruelly killed
near Como, in Italy, April 6, 1252. He was the object of wide-
spread veneration in Italy during the Fifteenth Century. In
his day heresy was a crime against the state and punished by
civil authority. St. Peter, as inquisitor, was thus able to pro-
tect the Faith and to save the state from revolution.

Apr. 30. St. Catharine of Siena, Virgin: St. Catharine of
Siena was the twenty-third in & family of twenty-four chil-
dren. She is best known for the work she did in persuading
Gregory XI in bringing the Papacy from Avignon back to
Rome. She worked miracles for the sake of the poor and the
afflicted. At the age of eighteen she received the habit of the
Third Order of St. Dominic. For three years she never spoke
to any one but God and her confessor. During her prolonged
fast her only food was Holy Communion. Our Savior appear-
ing to her on one occasion offered her a crown of thorns and
another of roses, bidding her choose; she eagerly took the
crown i o A and forcibly pressed it upon her head. She

Wednesday after the Second Sunday after Easter; TEE
SOLEMNITY OF ST. JOSEPH, Spouse of the Blessed Virgin Mary,
Patron of the Universal Church, Confessor: This feast became
obligatory on the Universal Church after the occupation of
Rome by the troops of Victor Emmanuel II. The Pope pro-
claimed St. Joseph Patron of the oppressed Household of the
Faith, and entrusted to him the defence of the Catholic
Church. By virtue of his espousals to Mary he became the
representative of the Eternal Father in the Holy Family of
Nazareth; he still continues to exercise his fatherly care over
the Catholic Church, and extension and continuation of the
family life of Bethlehem and Nazareth. f

At first the feast of the Patronage of St. Joseph was 2p-
pointed for the Third Sunday after Easter, but when, in the
liturgical reform of Pius X, it was desired to restore to the

Sunday Offices their precedence over those of the saints, the
feast of St. Joseph had also to give way and was anticipated
on the preceding Wednesday.

To compensate for this is was raised to the rank of a feast
of the first class with an Octave.

In her Liturgy the Church atiributes to St. Joseph a special
power of intercession on behalf of the dying. This most holy
Patriarch was assisted in his own agony by Jesus and Mary,
in whose arms he gave up his soul to God, more by the force
of love than by that of suffering.

Feasts of Map

May 1. Sts. Philip and James, Apostles: In the Church of
the Twelve Apostles in Rome there were some relics of the
apostles Philip and James the Just or Less. Because of
the consecration of the Church of the Holy Apostles on May 1,
and the relics of St. James preserved in this Church, the feast
of James the Less was joined with that of St. Philip and cele-
brated on this day. The stational mass is said here on all
Fridays in ember week and on Easter Thursday. The apostle
St. Philip was one of the first chosen disciples of Christ. He
preached the Gospel in Eastern Europe, and in Phrygia, and
in the end suffered death by crucifixion. St. James governed
the Church of Jerusalem for nearly thirty years, until about
A.D. 62, when he was stoned to death by the Jews.

May 2. St. Athanasius, Bishop, Confessor, Doctor of the
Church: St. Athanasius, Doctor of the Church and Patriarch
of Alexandria, one of the most renowned of the Fathers of the
Church, was the heroic and successful defender of Catholic
doctrine against Arius. After many sufferings in the cause of
God’s Church, he died May 2, 373.

While living in Rome during his exile he described to the
Romans the wonderful life of Antony and Pachomius in Egypt,
sowing the seed of monasticism in Rome. He taught with great
power the independence of the Church from civil authority.

May 3. The Finding of the Holy Cross: The Cross on which
Our Blessed Lord suffered for us was, following Jewish usage,
buried on Mount Calvary after the Crucifixion. The precise
spot was revealed in a vision to the Empress Helena, mother of
Constantine, the first Christian Emperor.

This date commemorates the recovery of the True Cross
in the reign of the Emperor Heraclius and its delivery by him
about the year 629 into the hands of the Patriarch Zacharias
of Jerusalem, from which city it had been carried away some
years previously by the Persians with the object of transporting
it to their own country.

God has been pleased to give so much power to the Cross
that at its sign alone the demons fly; by it the priest blesses
the faithful, the devout receive abundant graces. The early
Christians had so much devotion to it that, according to the
ancient Fathers, they never began any action without first
making the sign of the cross upon themselves,

http://ccwatershed.org

1692 ACCOUNTS OF FEASTS AND LIVES OF SAINTS

In the Middle Ages no public deed, inscription, law etc., was
begun to be written without first tracing upon it the sign of
the cross. This sign was accepted as the signature of the

uneducated; it often preceded that of ecclesiastics, and in many .

country districts even the dough and the bread were marked
with a cross before they were baked. "

Sts. Alexander, Eventius, Theodulus, and Juve-
nal, Martyrs: St. Alexander, Pope, was martyred, A.D. 119, in
the tenth year of his pontificate. With him suffered Sts.
Eventius and Theodulus, St. Juvenal, (a.n. 367) , also commemo-
rated on this day, was a holy bishop in Central Italy,

Mav 4. St. Monica, Widow: St. Monica, born in Africa,
married a pagan whom she converted. As described in the
ninth book of his Confessions, the beautiful figure of the
mother of St. Augustine will continue to live in the Church as
one of the finest examples of a Christian mother. Night and
day she prayed for her son; he tells us that she “shed for him
more tears than other mothers shed over a coffin.” God heard
her prayers after twenty years and gave to her son, under
the influence of St. Ambrose, the grace of conversion, She
died at Ostia in 387, after God had granted to her and to
Augustine a marvelous ecstasy.

The body of St. Monica remained at Ostia until the year
1162, when a certain Walter Prior, of the Canons Regular of
Aroasia, in Belgium, removed the body secretly from its
tomb and carried it off to his own monastery. The celebra-
tion of her feast on the 4th of May spread from this monastery
through Belgium, Germany and France and thus came into
general liturgical use.

Max 5. St. Pius V, Pope, Confessor: Coming from a family
in poor circumstances, a Dominican friar from his fifteenth
year, this great Pope as a simple Religious, as bishop, and as
cardinal was famous for his intrepid defence of the Faith and
discipline of the Church, and for the spotless purity of his
life. The secret of his power lay in seeking the glory of God
alone, and in his constant attention to prayer. By this latter
means he overcame the insolence of the Turks and sanctified
the people entrusted to his care. His name adorns the front
page of the Roman Missal and Breviary, because it was by his
authority that the revision of the liturgical books was brought
to a conclusion. Since his time the Holy See and the entire
hierarchy have followed definitely the road of that salutary
revival of the ecclesiastical spirit which was marked out by
the Council of Trent.. He died in 1572.

May 6. St. John before the Latin Gate: Besides the solemn
feast two days after Christmas, the Church commemorates
the attempt to put St. John to death in a caldron of boiling
oil outside the Latin Gate. The saint came from it unhurt,
and even more vigorous than before. A church now marks the
site which a late tradition assigns to this event. This feast
celebrates the martyrdom of the evangelist who, according
to the prophecy of the Savior, was also, like his brother, to

drink of tne chalice of the Passion, in order that he might
have the right to one of the highest thrones in the Messianic
kingdom, which his mother had begged for him. .

May 7. St. Stanislaus, Bishop, Martyr: St. Stanislaus, a
Polish martyr, was Bishop of Cracow. King Boleslaw II was
outraging the whole kingdom by his acts of lust and cruelty.
St. Stanislaus, finding all remonstrances useless, excommuni-
cated him. By order of the king he was cut in pieces at the
foot of the altar while celebrating High Mass on the feast of
the Apparition of St. Michael in. the oratory of the Holy
Archangel on the outskirts of Cracow. As, however, that day
has been dedicated from the early Middle Ages to St, Michael,
when the feast of the martyred bishop was introduced into the
Calendar of the Universal Church by Clement VIII, it was
kept in anticipation on the eve of his death. BE

May 8. The Apparition of St. Michael the Archangel:
There are several feasts of St, Michael in the Liturgy. Very
&nclent is the commemoration of the dedication of the cele-
brated Lombard: sanctuary on Sant'Angelo on Monte Gargano
in Apulia, near the ancient Sipontum. There is a tradition
that St. Michael appeared on this mountain and requested

^w that a church be erected to him and all the angels.

In the Old and the New Testament St. Michael, in the
struggle against the Evil One, is always depicted as the in-
vincible champion of God. The mystery of iniquity which,
according to St. Paul, shall be boldly revealed in the last ages
of the world and which has already begun its work of prever-
Sion, meets at present with an obstacle which hinders its full
development. . ‘This obstacle is usually said to be the protection
of St. Michael, St. Micbael is appointed by God himself to be
the protector and defender of the Church. After the protective
duty conferred on St. Joseph, there is no work on earth of
such great importance and sublimity as that entrusted to

St. Michael.

Mav 9. St. Gregory Nazianzen, Bishop, Confessor, Doctor
of the Church: St. Gregory of Nazianzen, one of the Fathers of
the Greek Church, was born in Asia Minor; he was made a
bishop and afterward Patriarch of Constantinople. He la-
bored with wonderful success against the Arians. His success
drew on him the hatred of the enemies of the Faith. Finally,
he resigned his See and retired to his native town, where he
died in 390. As a champion of the Faith he was so well
equipped, So strenuous, and so exact that he is called St.
Gregory the Theologian. His firmness restored the Faith of
the Council of Nicea to Constantinople; he was, however, &
man of gentle spirit and eminently poetic mind. Renouncing
his bishopric he set his heart on the contemplative life and
monastic discipline.

MAY 10. St. Antoninus, Bishop, Confessor: St, Antoninus
entered the Dominican Order in his sixteenth year. In 1446
he was compelled to accept the archbishopric of Florence.
When the false: Renaissance was beginning to give a tone of

classical paganism to society he set an example of fervent
pastoral zeal, joined with the love of study and of the most
austere virtues of the cloister. He died in 1459.

Sts. Gordian and Epimachus, Martyrs: Under Pope
Adrian I the bodies of these two martyrs were placed in the
same tomb. Gordian was a Roman judge converted by a holy
priest who was brought before him for trial under Julian the
Apostate. St. Epimachus was an Alexandrian martyr who at
first had a separate mass in the Liturgy.

. May 12. Sts. Nereus, Achilleus, Domitilla, and Pancras,
Martyrs: Sts. Nereus and Achilleus were servants of St. Flavia
Domitila. She was the wife of the consul Flavius Clemens,
cousin of the Emperor Domitian. She died in exile on the
island of Pandataria. Her granddaughter, likewise Domitilla,
also died in exile on the island of Pontia. The virgin whose
feast is: celebrated to-day is the secon Domitilla.

The fourteen-year-old Pancras suffered martyrdom prob-
ably in the reign of Diocletian, and was buried by the matron
Ottavilla in a property belonging to her on the Via Aurelia,
where the basilica dedicated to him still stands. There the
station is celebrated on Low Sunday, when the neophytes,
newly born in ihe Spirit, used to put off their white. bap-
tismal garments. In the Middle Ages it was the custom that
the most solemn oaths should be taken at the tomb of
the martyr Pancras, as though the simple innocence of a
childhood consecrated by the blood of martyrdom would:ensure
@ Safer guarantee of their genuineness. The Romans vener-
ated him with great fervor.

May 13. St. Robert Bellarmine, Bishop, Confessor, Doctor
of the Church: St. Robert Bellarmine, of whom Pope Clement
VIIIsaid: “The Church of God had not his equal in learning,"
was born in 1542 at Montepulciano and died in 1621. He
entered: the Society of Jesus, was made a Cardinal and dis-
tinguished himself by his teaching, preaching, writing and
defense of the rights of the Church. During St. Aloysius’
last years, St. Robert was his spiritual director. He was beati-
fied in 1923, canonized and declared a Doctor of the Church
in 1931. He is the patron of catechetical instruction, and
members of the Confraternity of Christian Doctrine may gain
a plenary indulgence on his feast day under the usual
conditions. ] .

May 14. St. Boniface, Martyr: St. Bonitace, a Roman
martyr, suffered at Tarsus, the capital of Cilicia, at the be-
ginning of the Fourth Century. He had gone thither, as a
penance for the sins of his past life, to recover relics of the
saints. After his martyrdom his body was taken back to
Rome and enshrined in a church that was erected in his honor.

MaY 15. St. John Baptist de la Salle, Confessor: St. John
Baptist de la Salle was canonized by Leo XIII, who also ex-
tended the observance of his feast to the Universal Church.
His place in ecclesiastical history is chiefly important from
the social point of view. since at least two centuries before

world changes rendered necessary the education of the masses,
and before technical schools had gained for themselves the
all-important place in the training of the. young which had
up till then been held exclusively by classical teaching, God
gave him an intuition of this need as though by a prophetic
vision. St: John Baptist de la Salle, answering the divine
call, resigned his honorable position as a canon of Rheims,
and, overcoming much opposition and many difficulties,
founded the Society of the Brothers of Christian Schools,
which still is productive of so much good throughout the
Church. He died at Rouen on Good Friday, April 7, 1719, at
the age of 68.

May 16. St. Ubaldus, Bishop, Confessor: St. Ubaldus,
Bishop of Gubbio in Central Italy, died at his post in 1160,

sanctity; May 15, 1592. Even after death his body moved and
his eyes opened in an act of adoration when the priest raised
up the sacred host at the elevation in the Mass. Pope Leo
ZI declared him protector of all Eucharistic Congresses and
works.. ` .

May 18. St. Venantius, Martyr: St. Venantius, at the age
of fifteen, was seized as a Christian, and was beheaded with
his..converts by order of Emperor Decius in 250. Clement X,
who had a particular devotion to this holy youth, ordered his
feast to be kept throughout the Church.

Mav 19. St. Peter Celestine, Pope, Confessor: St. Peter
Celestine was the founder of the Celestine Order. He was
living in à mountain solitude when he was called to Rome by
his election to the Pontificate. He was accused of excessive
simplicity ià public affairs, nor did he deny the truth of this
accusation. Other Popes, such.as Sts. Martin and Benedict
IX had resigned the Papacy; the Thirteenth Century canon-
ists nevertheless, disputed whether it was lawful for the
Supreme Pontiff ever to renounce his position, Celestine V
decided the question according to primitive Roman tradi-
tions, and laid aside the papal robes to return to his former
monastic life. Both during his pontificate and after his
humble abdication, he worked many miracles. He died May
19, 1296. :

St. Pudentiana, Virgin: St. Pudentiana, a Roman

his life to the saving of souls. He it was who started the
devotion to the Holy Name of Jesus, St. Bernardine died
May 20, 1444.

May 25. St. Gregory VII, Pope, Confessor: St. Gregory
VII was one of the most famous of the successors.of St. Peter.
He was born at the foot of the Capitol, near the deaconry of
St. Mary in Portico, which he caused to be restored after he
had become Pope, reconsecrating the high altar. In his early
pu Hildebrand was professed in the Order of St. Benedict

the little monastery of St. Mary on the Aventine, where
the Priory of the Knights of Malta now stands. He was elected
Pope in 1073, and his conflicts with Henry IV, Emperor of
Germany, have made his name immortal throughout the
whole Christian world. On May 25, 1085, in the twelfth year
of his pontificate, Gregory entered into his rest. He died in
exile at Salerno, where his body is buried in the Cathedral.

St. Urban I, Pope, Martyr: St. Urban, who suc-

. May 26. St. Philip Neri, Confessor: This holy priest who
died in 1591, exercised the apostolic ministry at Rome for
about fifty years, and in the midst of a frivolous and corrupt
society became the adviser of Popes, of Cardinals and of.some
of the most distinguished persons of his time. Until recent
years his feast was kept in Rome as a holy day of obligation
and the Pope himself used to go in state to celebrate Mass at
his tomb in St. Mary in Vallicella. He instituted the Con-
gregation of the Priests of the Oratory; he desired to reawaken
the religious spirit in Christian society through the frequent-
ing of the holy sacraments and through catechetical instruc-
on.

Stern and severe towards himself he was full of gentleness
towards others and even humorous when ihe occasion re-
quired it. St. Philip was able to raise the dead to life, to hear
their confession, to converse with them, and then, at their re-
quest to open to them once more the gates of eternity by the
sign of the cross. He refused all ecclesiastical honors, even
the cardinalate. He was so filled with love at Holy Mass, that
he used to spend three hours in offering the Holy Sacrifice.

Church for fifteen years. He died a martyr, 192.

Mav 27. St. Bede, Confessor, Doctor of the Church: St.
Bede, the illustrious ornament of the Anglo-Saxon Church
and the first English historian, is universally known as “Ven-
erable Bede.” He was declared a Doctor of the Church by
Pope Leo XIII. He trained six hundred scholars, who were

mentaries on the Scriptures are stillin use by the Church.

Who cast him into a dungeon at Ravenna, where he died from
his sufferings, May 27, 526. His body was carried to Rome
and buried under the porch at St. Peter's. :

Mav 28. St. Augustine of Canterbury, Bishop Confessor:

St. Augustine was a Roman monk, and was sent by Pope
Gregory the Great with forty companions to England in order
to convert that land to the Faith. The result far surpassed the
expectations of the Pope, for God set his seal on the preaching
of St. Augustine by so great a number of miracles that the
age of the apostles seemed to have come again. Ethelbert, the
King of Kent, together with the chief persons of his court,
Was the first to receive Baptism from the hands of the saint,
who gave bodily health to the sick as well as salvation to
their souls.
; By command of St. Gregory, Augustine was consecrated the
first Bishop of the English by Virgilius of Arles. Returning
to England, he consecrated bishops for other Sees and estab-
lished his own See, as Primate, at Canterbury, where he also
built a monastery. He died on May 26, 609, and was at once
venerated as a saint. This feast was placed on the Calender
by Leo XIII.

Mav 29. St. Mary Magdalen dei Pazzi, Virgin: St. Mary
Magdalen dei Pazzi was born in 1566. The charity that burned
in her heart led her to enter a Carmelite convent at the age
of eighteen. Among the special gifts for which St. Mary
Magdalen is celebrated, is the sweet perfume which to this
day is given out by the pure and incorrupt remains of this holy
virgin. Many of the revelations granted to this saint are also
famous, such as one concerning the immense glory attained
by St. Aloysius Gonzaga in heaven. She died May 25, 1607.

Mav 30. St. Felix I, Pope, Martyr: Pope St. Felix, in the
sixth year of his pontificate, received the martyr's crown un-
der Emperor Aurelian, 274. It was St. Felix who commanded
Masses to be celebrated over the tombs of martyrs in remem-
brance of which the relics of martyrs are still placed in the
altar stone.

May 31. St. Angela Merici, Virgin: The feast of the
foundress of the Ursulines under the rule of the Third Order
of St. Francis was inserted in the Calendar of the Universal
Church by Pius IX in 1861. The devout pilgrimages of St.
Angela to the Holy Land and to Rome recall, in a manner,
those made by St. Bridget of Sweden some two centuries
earlier. She showed the same faith and enjoyed equal respect
with the Popes, so much so that. Clement VII would not
allow her to leave the Eternal City. . After having brought to-
gether à band of holy women, who devoted themselves to the
Christian education of girls, St. Angela passed away from this
life, full of merits, on January 27, 1540. :

Mav 31. St. Petronilla, Virgin: St. Petronilla was long
venerated as the daughter of St. Peter; recent study has
shown that she belonged to the Roman family of the Aurelii.
The mistake arose from misunderstanding an inscription. On
her tomb the Pope and the Roman Church formed by oath
a spiritual relationship with France, which thus became the
eldest daughter of the Church.

Friday after the Octave of Corpus Christi; FEAST OF THE
SacRED HEART OF JESUS:

The origin of this feast is similar to that of the Blessed
Sacrament. The symbolism surrounding the wound in the
side of Jesus made by the lance of Longinus, from which
flowed blood and water, was already familiar to the early
Fathers of the Church. There are wonderful pages in the
writings of St. Augustine and St. John Crysostom about the
Church which, radiant with youth, springs from the side of
the new Adam asleep upon the cross, as well as about the
divine sacraments which flowed from the loving Heart of
the Redeemer.

This tradition of the Fathers was preserved and developed
by the Benedictine school of piety; so that when, finally, in
the Twelfth Century, St. Bernard directed the mystical de-
votion of his monks of Clairvaux towards a special cultus of
the human nature of the Savior, the devotion to the Sacred
Heart after the manner now paid to it by the Liturgy may be
said to have come into being. From simply meditating on
the wounds of Jesus, the Benedictine mystics had developed
@ special devotion to that in His side, and entering through
the opening made by the lance of Longinus, had penetrated
to his very Heart wounded by the lance of love.

The feast of the Sacred Heart was given approbation by
Clement XIII in the year 1765. In 1856 at the urgent request
of the French Bishops, Pope Pius IX extended the feast to the
Universal Church. On June 11, 1899, by order of Pope Leo
XIII and with the formula prescribed by him, all mankind
was solemly consecrated to the Sacred Heart. Popes Pius X
and Pius XI were authors of further acts of approval and
finally, on January 29, 1929, the latter Pontiff approved and
ordered for use in the Universal Church the proper Office
and Mass for the feast and its octave as set forth in the de-
cree of the Sacred Congregation of Rites of the same date.

of Italy, also suffered martyrdom in the same persecution.

JUNE 4. St. Francis Caracciolo, Confessor: St. Francis
Caracciolo, born in the kingdom of Naples, was one of the
founders of the Order of Clerks Regular, Who in turn watched
in perpetual adoration before the Blessed Sacrament.
Short life of forty years was profitable in the sight of God;

he edified by his holy life, not only Naples and Rome, but
also distant Spain. He died on June 4, 1608, and was canon-
ized by Pope Pius VII.

June 5. St. Boniface, Bishop, Martyr: St. Boniface was a
native of Devonshire, England. His first attempt to convert
pagans having failed, he went to Rome where he received the
Pope's blessing on his mission, and then set forth with the
papal authority to preach to the German tribes. He thus
became the apostle and first archbishop of the Germans.
While engaged in his earnest work he, with other Christians,
suffered martyrdom, on June 5, 755. Pius IX extended the
Office of St. Boniface to the whole Church.

Jone 6. St. Norbert, Bishop, Confessor: St. Norbert, arch-
bishop of Magdeburg, in North Germany, was the founder of
the Canons Regular or Premonstratensians, as they were
called. The doctrine of the Real Presence having been ques-
tioned by Tanchelin of Antwerp, our saint, who was distin-
guished for his devotion to the Blessed Sacrament, reclaimed
many who had fallen away, and rekindled: the love of Our
Lord in the Blessed Eucharist. His order takes its name from
Prémontré where it was founded. The chief characteristic
of the mission of St. Norbert was his eloquent preaching of the
word of God. This is an entirely apostolic mission which is
not always appreciated as much as it should be. The preach-
ing of the Gospel is indeed à most necessary thing, for no man
can believe the Word of God and be saved except there be an
apostle to preach it to him. He died in 1134, worn out with

JUNE 9. Sts. Primus and Felician, Martyrs: These two mar-
tyrs were brothers who gave their lives for the Faith, June 9,
under Diocletian. Hundreds of spectators who witnessed their
martyrdom proclaimed themselves Christians and likewise
suffered for the Faith. Their bodies were the first to be
brought into Rome from the cemeteries outside the walls.

June 10. St. Margaret, Queen of Scotland, Widow: St.
Margaret was the granddaughter of an English king. In
1070 she married Malcolm III of Scotland, and reigned as
queen of that country for twenty-three years. She gave
bountifully to the poor and saw that the laws of God and His
Church were observed throughout her realm. Pope Innocent
XII appointed June 10 for the observance of her feast. She
was the guardian angel of her people, on account of which
Clement X proclaimed her the patron of Scotland. She died
in 1093. -

JUNE 11. St. Barnabas, Apostle: St. Barnabas, who was
originally known as Joseph, a rich levite, was a native of
Cyprus. According to The Acts of the Apostles, he "having
land, sold it, and brought the price, and laid it at the feet
of the apostles.” In company with St. Paul they journeyed
to the cities of Asia Minor and the people were amazed at
their preaching. St. Paul constantly gives him the title of
apostle, which has therefore been ascribed to him in the

Liturgy. Persecuted by the Jews he was stoned to death in
the island of Cyprus. His name is mentioned in the Canon
of the Mass immediately after that of St. Matthias.

Jung, 12. St. John of St. Facundus, Confessor: St, John
was born at St. Facundus in Spain, and belonged to the Augus-
tinian Order. He was distinguished for his devotion during
boly Mass; he loved peace-making and brought an end to &
HE on among the factions in Salamanca. He died June

Sts. Basilides, Cyrinus, Nabor, and Nazarius,
Martyrs: Sts. Basilides, Cyrinus, Nabor, and Nazarius were
Christian soldiers in the army of Maxentius. They were be-
headed by order of Aurelius, prefect of Rome.

June 13. St. Anthony of Padua, Confessor: St. Anthony of
Padua, of the Order of St. Francis, was called the “Hammer 02 ;
Heretics.” For nine years he labored in France, Italy, and ;
Sicily. Men heard his voice, saw his miracles, and their hearts ;
were turned to God. Nothing is lacking to the glory of St,
Anthony; he had a great desire for martyrdom, and on that
account he entered the Franciscan Order and set sail for
Mauretania. He was an apostle, and the fame of his fervent
preaching filled Italy and Rome, where he proclaimed the
Word of God in 1327. Both during his lifetime and after his
death in 1331, St. Anthony became renowned as a worker of
miracles, and there are few cities which do not possess a
church or an altar dedicated to him.

June 14. St. Basil, Bishop, Confessor, Doctor of the Church:
St. Basil the Great was Archbishop of Cesarea in the Asiatic
Province of Cappadocia. His solid and eloquent words silenced
the Arian heretics who were persecuting the Church, and he
restored the spirit of discipline and fervor. He was one of
the most celebrated Fathers of the Eastern Church. He is
the author of a monastic rule from which St. Benedict derived
many points, and which is still observed by the monks of the
East. During his lifetime he was called a vessel of election
by St. Ephrem. He died January 1, 379.

Jone 15. Sts. Vitus, Modestus and Crescentia, Martyrs:
St. Vitus was a martyr who is spoken of in the Martyrology of
St. Jerome as being a native of Lucania, or of Sicily, and
whose veneration was very widely diffused in Italy during the
Lombard period. The Mass was originally of St. Vitus only,
but later there were associated with him the martyrs Modestus
and Crescentia; the former, according to the Acta, being his
teacher, the latter his nurse. St. Vitus was delivered by his
father to be scourged because he had been baptized; his judge
was struck blind but healed by his prayers. His teacher and
nurse then took him to foreign parts whence he was sum-
moned by Diocletian to deliver his son tormented by the devil.
When St. Vitus had done this he was ordered to worship false
gods; upon his refusal, together with Modestus and Crescentia,
he was plunged into a caldron of molten lead and flaming
resin, They died in 303.

June 18. St. Ephrem the Syrian, Deacon, Confessor and
Doctor of the Church: St. Ephrem born at Nisibis in Meso-
potamia of a pagan father, was cast out of his home and lived
as a hermit in the desert. He never became a priest but was
deacon of the Church of Edessa. From early times, because
of his opposition to the Arians, he had been famed as a teacher
of the Universal Church; not only the ‘Syrians, but the
Byzantines, the Slavs, the Armenians, and the Copts had in-
corporated in their liturgical books the melodious composi-
tions of the celebrated Deacon of Edessa, who was called in
consequence by the Eastern Church the “Lyre of the Holy
Spirit.” He died at Edessa in 379. In 1918, the year in which
the Centenary of St. Jerome was being kept, Pope Benedict
XV compared these two heroic monks of the East. On Oc-
tober 5, 1920, this same Pope proclaimed St. Ephrem a Doctor
o: tna GU He is the only Deacon honored with the title
of Doctor.

à Sts. Mark and Marcellianus, Martyrs: Sts. Mark
and Marcellianus were twin brothers, of an illustrious family
in Rome. 'They gave their lives for Christ in 286, under the
persecutions of Diocletian, after suffering cruel torture. Ac-
cording to the Acta of St. Sebastian, which do not, however,
date from primitive times, Mark and Marcellianus, after
having fearlessly confessed the Christian Falth in the midst
of torments, were on the point of denying it, being overcome
by the tears of their parents who came to visit them in prison.
Thus we see how great a danger to the souls of the Religious is
to be found in unrestrained family affection, as St. Philip Neri
well observes in reference especially to these two martyrs.

JUNE19..St. Juliana Falconieri, Virgin: St. Juliana Fal-
conieri, born in Florence in 1270, niece of St. Alexis Falcon-
leri, even as a child showed such sanctity that her holy uncle
told her mother that she-had given birth to an angel To
hear sin spoken of made her tremble. At the age of fifteen
she consecrated her virginity to God. She founded the Order
of the Mantelette (wearers of a short cloak or mantle); she
was then-asked by St. Philip Beniti to take charge of the
whole order of the Servites and thus may be regarded as a
second foundress of this Community devoted to tbe Sorrows
of the Blessed Virgin. Toward the end of her life, on account
of constant sickness, it was not possible for her to receive the
Blessed Sacrament; she asked that it might be held near her
heart. When this was done the sacred host miraculously pene-
trated her breast. She died on June 19, 1340.

In olden times the pagans placed in the mouth of the dead
a piece of money as payment to the boatman Charon. In the
Fourth Century it was. already an ancient tradition of the
Roman Church to comfort the last moments of the faithful
by administration of the Eucharist; the Viaticum also was
sometimes placed on the breast of the dead person. This
custom which testified to the robust faith of that early age
in the immortality of the soul and final resurrection was after-
wards modified by the Church, decreeing that Communion

after Confession and Exireme Unction should suffice as
Viaticum.

JUNE 19. Sts. Gervase and Protase, Martyrs: Sis. Gervase
&nd Protase, said to be twins, were called by St. Ambrose
the proto-martyrs of Milan. At the close of the Fourth Cen-
tury he discovered their relics and had them suitably en-
shrined. Their names are included in the Litany of the Saints.

JUNE 20. St. Silverius, Pope, Martyr: This Pope was a son
of Pope Hormisdas who had been married before receiving
Holy Orders. He fell a victim to the brutal tyranny of Belis-
arius. Accused of favoring the Goths he was stripped of the
papal insignia and handed over to some sub-deacons who
clothed him in the monastic habit. It was then announced
that Silverius had become a monk.. The Emperor Justinian
restored him, but Belisarius was once more able to exile him
to the island of Palmaria, where he succumbed to hardships
and want in 538. God glorified him by many miracles.

JUNE 21..St. Aloysius Gonzaga, Confessor: This saint was
like a white and fragrant lily in his virgin purity, trans-
planted by God from the luxurious and sensual Court of
Madrid to the chosen garden of St. Ignatius of Loyola at
Rome. The whole life of Aloysius breathes forth sanctity
and purity; his Baptism, which was administered at the very
moment of his birth, his first Communion at the hands of St.
Charles Borromeo; his reception into the Society of Jesus by
Claudio Acquaviva, the spiritual direction given to him at
the Collegio Romano by St. Robert Bellarmine; his severe
penances, and, lastly, his holy death as a victim of charity in
the service of the plague-stricken sufferers in the Hospital of
the Consolazione at Rome. He died on the octave-day of
Corpus Christi, 1591, at the age of twenty-three years, Ben-
edict XIII declared. him the patron of young people.

JuNE 22. St. Paulinus, Bishop, Confessor: St. Paulinus was
Bishop of Nola in Southern Italy. So great was his charity
that he sold himself into slavery in order to ransom tne son
of a poor widow, who had been carried off by the Vandals of
Africa. He was afterward set free, and returned. to Nola,
where he died in 431. Otho III brought his body from Bene-
ventum to the little island in the Tiber near the Trastevere.
Pius X had them carried back in triumph to his episcopal
city at Nola, and ordered a new Mass in his honor to be
inserted in the Missal and his feast raised to a double in the
Universal Church, His figure is one of the most attractive
of ancient times. Without leaving his monastic retreat he
exerted great influence on his times; he was not a man of
action, but of prayer, given to solitude and a lover of poetry
and fine arts.

JUNE 23. Vigil of the Nativity of St. John the Baptist:
In Rome the devotion to St. John centers around the Lateran
Basilica where Pope Hilary had erected two oratories, one in
honor of St. John the Evangelist and the other in honor of

http://ccwatershed.org

ACCOUNTS OF FEASTS AND LIVES OF SAINTS 1703

St. John the Baptist, These two oratories became so famous
that they gave ihe name of St. John to the Lateran Basilica
itself.

The greatness of St. John the Baptist consists entirely in
his mission of preparing the way for Jesus Christ. Therefore
he did not live for himself, but for Christ and for His greater
glory. ‘This is genuine humility, the foundation of all true
greatness before God.

June 24. The Nativity of St. John the Baptist: The day
of the death of other saints is kept as their feast, and in the
case of St. John the Baptist the day of his birth is celebrated,
as having taken place amidst the outpouring of the gifts of
ihe Paraclete. 'The feast is celebrated with great liturgical
splendor, the stational Mass was celebrated in the Basilica of
the Saviour. This grandeur of early devotion to the Baptist
need cause no one to wonder, if we realize the eminent position
which St. John holds in the history of the Incarnation. His
seal of canonization is seen in the eulogy addressed to him
by the Word of God Himself made man, when He pointed
him out to the people as the greatest among all the prophets,
and among all those born of woman, the new Elias, the burn-
ing and shining light.

Many churches and oratories were dedicated to him; at
one time three Masses were celebrated in his honor. When
Pope Benedict XIV examined the question of the precedence
over St. Joseph given to St. John in the Litany of the Saints,
it was not considered opportune to decide how the passage in
the Gospel (Matth. 11, 11) “among those born of women, there
hath not arisen a greater than John the Baptist,” was to be
understood. Now that devotion to St. Joseph has thrown so
much light on his person, it is clear that the primacy accorded
to St. John is to be understood of his prophetic and Messianic
mission. He surpassed in dignity and in sanctity all the
patriarchs, prophets and saints who announce and prepare
the way for the New Testament. St. Joseph belongs to another
period. He enters into the divine plan, not as prophet, but as
part of the plan of the Incarnation itself. He introduces and
presents Jesus with all honor to the world as the heir of the
Messianic promises.’ Mary and Joseph have transcendent
dignity; this in no way detracts from the glory of St. John
whose praise is sung in the liturgical hymns. Our musical
scale took its names (Do, re, mi) from the ascending tones of
the Vesper hymn of St. John.

JUNE 25. St. William, Abbot: The feast of the founder of
the Solitaries of Monte Vergine was inserted in the Calendar
of the Universal Church by Leo XIII. This monastic Congre-
gation was widely diffused at one time in the South of Italy,
but having greatly decreased in numbers it was amalgamated
in the second half of the Nineteenth Century, -with the Bene-
dictines of Subiaco.

St. William, who died in 1142, was noted for the austerity
of his life and for his great gentleness towards others. His
body rests now on the summit of the Parthenius, in the

Basilica of Our Lady which he built, and where every year
many thousands aay pilgrims assemble to do honor to the
Blessed Virgin.

JUNE 26. Sts, John and Paul, Martyrs: Sts. John and Paul
were both Christian officers in the army under Julian the
Apostate. They suffered martyrdom in their own house, on
the Celian Hill They spent ten days allowed them to delib-
erate about renouncing their devotion to Christ in distributing
all their goods to the poor. The fact that, unlike other martyrs
who were buried outside the walls, they had their place of
burial in the very heart of the Eternal City, was looked upon
by the early Christians as a special honor granted to them
and to Rome by Divine Providence. Archeological discoveries
have fully confirmed the truth of the Acts of their martyrdom,
Their dwelling-house, the place of their execution, the graves,
and important paintings have been brought to light. The
two brothers when on earth possessed one home and one
Faith, and now in heaven possess the same immortal crown.

JUNE 28, St. Irenaeus, Bishop, Martyr: St. Irenæus, born at
Smyrna in Asia Minor, was a pupil of the Martyr St. Polycarp,
Bishop of that city, and himself a favorite disciple of St. John
the Evangelist. Later he became Bishop of Lyons in Gaul,
where, with many other Christians, he was put to death for
ihe Faith, 202. In his writings, many of which are still extant,
St. Irenæus bears eloguent testimony to the primary in the
Church of St. Peter's See. His words are memorable: “It is
necessary that the whole Church—that is to say, all the faith-
ful scattered throughout the world—be in agreement with
this Church by reason of her primacy for the Apostlic tradi-
tion was ever preserved in her."

Vigil of the Feast of Sts. Peter and Paul: On
this vigil in tho Divine Office, the last lesson with the homily
on the Gospel was sung by the Pope himself.

At one time this vigil was kept with equal solemnity in the
Basilicas of St. Peter and of St. Paul. Later the celebration
at St. Paul’s became monastic; the people attended the Mass
at St. Peter’s.

June 29. Sts. Peter and Paul, Apostles: On June 29,
A.D. 67, St. Peter was crucified, head downward, by order of
Nero, on & hill overlooking the Vatican. On the same day,
St. Paul was beheaded outside one of the gates of Rome. The
Romans celebrated this feast with splendor equal to, if not
surpassing, that of Easter.

There are two stations, the one at St. Peter's, the other at
St. Paul's, but in both Masses the Collects are common to
the two apostles indissolubly united in a single prayer. It
is just because of this ancient feeling which is common not
only to the Romans, but to all the Fathers, that the two
Founders of the Roman Church can never be divided. Tradi-
tion has preserved the memory of the places in which St.
Peter and St. Paul dwelt. It is certain the chair of St. Peter
$nd the chains of St. Paul were carefully guarded. Ths

Vatican Basilica is erected over the burial place of St. Peter;
the Ostian Basilica, St. Paul’s-Outside-the-Walls, honors the
Apostle of the Gentiles. .

JUNE 30. Commemoration of St. Paul the Apostle: As
June 29 is mainly devoted to the honoring of St. Peter, this
day is assigned as the special feast of St. Paul. The Mass of
to-day according to ancient Roman traditions was that of
the second station of yesterday. As Peter still lives and gov-
erns through his successors, so does Paul continue to preach
the Gospel every day throughout the world by means of his
writings which the Church reads almost invariably at Holy
Mass. The Acts and the Epistles tell us enough about the
life of Paul to give us a rule and model of what a truly pastoral
and apostolic life should be. On this model, under the rule of
St. Benedict for more than fourteen hundred years, the dis-
ciples of the Patriarch of Monte Cassino have lived in a
monastery in the shadow of the Basilica, and carried on the
Divine Office,

Feasts of Julp

Jory 1. The Most Precious Blood of Our Lord Jesus
Christ: The Missal gives to-day the Octave of St. John
the Baptist, which, however, only appears in the Roman
Calendar during the late Middle Ages. In the liturgical re-
form of Pius X this day was chosen for the feast of the Most
Precious Blood, which had already been fixed under Pius IX
for the first Sunday. in July. Pius IX instituted this feast in
thanksgiving for the deliverance of the Apostolic See from the
violent revolutionaries who had expelled the Pope to Geta.
In 1849, with the assistance of the French army, they were
vanquished and the pope was able to return to Rome.

The meaning of this festival is closely akin to that of the
Sacred Heart. The Precious Blood is the price of universal
redemption, which love would not have to be anything less
than itself. There is a very close connection between the
Heart and the Blood not only because, according to St. John,
after the death of Jesus, blood and water flowed from His
wounded Heart, but because the first chalice in which that
divine Blood was consecrated and vivified was precisely the
Heart of the incarnate Word. mu

The apostle of this special devotion was the Blessed Gaspare
del Bufalo, founder of the congregation of the Most Precious
Blood. :

.The Mass is of quite recent composition. In the ancient
Roman rite the Mass of Passion Sunday Was especially in-
tended to recall to the remembrance of the faithful the in-
finite value of the Blood of Jesus Christ.

. JULY 2, The Visitation of Our Blessed Lady: Ember. Fri-
day in Advent was the original date for this feast. The cele-
bration by the Greeks on July 2 of the placing of the robe of
the Blessed Virgin in the Basilica of Blacherne (a.D. 469)
became in the Latin church the commemoration of the visit
of Mary to the home of Zarchary and Elizabeth. It was kept

1706 ACCOUNTS OF FEASTS AND LIVES OF SAINTS

by the Franciscans as early as 1263; the Council of Basel
(1431) made it a holy day of obligation.

In honor of this mystery, St. Francis de Sales instituted the
order of the nuns of the Visitation. The original design of
this kindly saint was that the nuns should imitate the Blessed
Virgin in her charitable assistance in the house of her cousin,
who, though well advanced in years, was miraculously about
to become a mother. Providence, however, thought fit to
alter the plan while still in the hands of the designer, so that
the latter was accustomed jestingly to say that he had made
something which he had never intended to make, whereas he
could not make that which he would in reality have wished
to have made.

l Sts. Processus and Martinian, Martyrs: Sts. Pro-
cessus and Martinian were the keepers of the Mamertine
prison, during the imprisonment of Sts. Peter and Paul, by
whom they were converted. Like them they suffered martyr-
dom under Emperor Nero. Their relics now repose in St,
Peter's; during the Vatican Council the papal throne occupied
by Pius IX stood at the tomb of these two gaolers of the
Princes of the Apostles.

Juiv 3. St. Leo II, Pope, Confessor: This feast was origin-
ally the second commemoration of St. Leo the Great, who
was the object of very marked devotion in the Middle Ages.
It was celebrated on the anniversary of the removal of his
body from the porch to the interior of St. Peter's. Later it
became the feast of Pope Leo II who approved the acts of the
Sixth Ecumenical Council which condemned the heresy of
those who asserted that Christ had only one will. In his brief
pontificate he gave an example of earnest preaching and devo-
tion to the poor. He died in 683.

JuLY 4. Of the Octave of the Apostles, Sts. Peter. and
Paul: Although during the Middle Ages, in a great number
of churches, the anniversary of the ordination of St. Martin
of Tours and of the dedication of his famous basilica was
kept on this date, yet Christian Rome continued to celebrate
the Octave of her great Apostles Peter and Paul .

JULY 5. St. Anthony Mary Zaccaria, Confessor: This fam-
ous Lombard preacher was one of that band of saints whom
the Lord, in the Sixteenth Century, sent to carry out in Italy
that ecclesiastical. reform which had indeed been long desired,
but which the Canons of the Council of Trent alone could not
effect. It was necessary that they should be put into practice
with heroic zeal, and this could be done only by a saint. He
founded the order of Regular Clerks who from the Church of
St. Barnabas near which they lived are called “Barnabites.”
They gave much assistance to St. Charles Borromeo in his
Work of reform. Anthony died at the age of 36, July 5, 1539,
&nd was canonized by Pope Leo XIII.

Jury 6. Octave-Day of the Holy Apostles, Sts. Peter and
Paul: To-day Christian Rome brings the Octave of her great
apostles to an end. The importance, however, of these grand

figures was such that, in the Middle Ages, their natalis (birth-
day) formed as it were the center of a special liturgical cycle.

Protestants have tried to set Paul above Peter, by attribut-
ing to the former, rather even than to Christ himself, the
foundation of the Church. Catholic theology and the Cath-
Olic catechism suffice to protect the faithful from falling into
such heresies as these. Christ founded the Church on Peter,
but He disposed that among the apostles Paul should be the
chief propagator of the Gospel, and the most important inter-
preter of divine revelation.

JULY 7. Sts. Cyril and Methodius, Bishops, Confessors:
These two celebrated apostles of the East are bound by more
than one tie to the history of Papal Rome. The Slav nations
are indebted to Cyril and Methodius for their civilization,
their faith, and their original communion with the See of
Peter. To this day the Slav pilgrim who visits Rome and
kneels at the sepulchre of the Prince of the Apostles sees upon
that tomb a painting representing the Savior between St.
Peter and St. Paul. That venerated ikon, on which is traced
an inscription in the Slavonic tongue, is said to have been
placed there by Sts. Cyril and Methodius as a mark of their
homage and devotion to the Apostolic See.

They were consecrated bishops by Pope Adrian II. They
invented & writing for the language of the Slav; translated
the Scriptures and made use of this language in the Liturgy.
Cyril, worn out by the mission, returned to Rome and pre-
pared a tomb for himself in the shadow of St. Clement’s.
He died in 869 at the age of 42, Methodius died in 885.

JULY 8. St. Elizabeth, Queen of Portugal, Widow: St. Eliz-
abeth, Queen of Portugal, was born in 1271 and died July 4,
1336. She was distinguished for her devotion to the poor and
her heroic acts of charity. Her special grace was that of
making peace. The joy caused at the Aragonese Court by the
birth of Elizabeth brought about the reconciliation of her
father and her grandfather; death surprised the good queen
whilst on a journey which she had undertaken for the pur-
pose of procuring peace between her son and her son-in-law.

JuLY 10. The Seven Holy Brothers, Martyrs, with St.
Rufina and Secunda, Virgins: Felicitas and her seven sons
were put to death for the Faith, about the year 162, under
Marcus Aurelius. The sons preceded their mother to heaven;
she followed them four months afterwards. In order to
strike terror into the hearts of the Christians the death
sentences were not all carried out in the same place, for
Januarius was beaten to death with leaden scourges and
was buried in the Cemetery of Pretextatus, Felix and Philip
died under the whip and received burial in that of Priscilla,
Silanus was thrown from a precipice and was interred with
his mother in the Cemetery of Maximus, Alexander, Vitalis
and Martial were beheaded and were given the honor of
sepulture in the Cemetery of the Giordani.

Under the Emperors Valerian and Gallienus, a hundred
years later, two sisters Rufina and Secunda, rather than lose

their consecrated virginity accepted martyrdom. The forest
in which they were put to death, hitherto called the dark
Wood, soon was called the bright wood in their honor.

JULY 11. St. Pius I, Pope, Martyr: St. Pius I, a great Pope
of the Second Century, is said by tradition to have established
.& baptistery in the house of the Pudenti, or de Pastore, His
brother is the author of the Shepherd of Hermas which has
been styled “a vast examination of the conscience of the
Roman Church at the end of the first half of the Second
Century." To St. Pius is attributed the fixation of the feast
of the Resurrection on Sunday, which day then became the
central Sunday of the year. He was buried in the Vatican.

Jury 12. St. John Gualbert, Abbot: Born at Florence at
the end of the Tenth Century, John Gualbert was trained in
the school of St. Benedict. Raised to the papacy he exalted
that office and the position of the hierarchy which had been
degraded by the imperial power. He stamped out simony and
brought back order and peace to the land of Tuscany. At
Valombrosa he founded à monastery, whence came many
‘saints and which still flourishes. On one occasion meeting the
murderer of his brother, he pardoned him in the name of the
‘Redeemer. For this act he received a singular recognition
from Our Crucified Lord. He died on July 12, 1073, and was
canonized in 1193.

Sts. Nabor and Felix, Martyrs: Sts. Nabor and
Felix suffered martyrdom at Milan under Maximian Herculeus,
&bout the year 304. St. Ambrose honored their memory and
Trom Polan devotion to them spread throughout the Universal
Church.

JuLY 13. St. Anacletus, Pope, Martyr: According to the
list of Popes furnished us by St. Irenzus, Anacletus is prob-
ably the same person as Cletus, the successor of Linus and
the predecessor of Clement on the papal throne. Some say
that he was banished from Rome and returned to rule the
Holy See a second time. He. completed the tomb of St.
Peter at the Vatican, near which he was himself interred.
"To him is assigned the decree that bishops should be conse-
‘crated by three bishops at least; that clerics should be pub-
licly ordained by their own bishop and that they all should
receive Holy Communion after the consecration in the mass of
ordination. He was martyred under the Emperor Trajan.

Jury 14. St. Bonaventure, Confessor, Bishop, Doctor of the
‘Church: Born in Tuscany in 1221, Giovanni Fidanza, in con-
sequence of a miraculous cure; entered the Franciscan Order.
‘While still young, he became minister general; guided by his
‘wise and prudent spirit, the Franciscan Order was saved
from the schism which was about to divide the rigorous
from the mild. He was closely united to St. Thomas Aquinas;
both taught at the University of Paris at the same time. St.
Bonaventure was created Cardinal and Bishop of Albano in
1273 by Gregory X; he died on July 15 in the following year
at Lyons whilst the Ecumenical Council was being held in

that city. The Pope and the entire Council took part in his.
funeral; every priest in the world said Mass for his soul.

St. Bonaventure is a true example of the ascetic Franciscan
School, which has spread among the people a fervent devo-
tion to the most sacred human nature of the Redeemer. When.
he writes on the Passion of Our Lord or speaks in praise of
the Blessed Virgin, his language grows eloquent and a sera-
phic ardor glows in his words.

Sixtus IV, when he canonized St. Bonaventure in 1482,
ordered that the celebration of his feast in the Basilica of
the Holy Apostles should be considered as a solemnity of the-
Sacred Apostolic Palace. In later years a church and a
monastery were dedicated to this saint on the Palatine.

JULY 15. St. Henry, Emperor, Confessor: The name of St.
Henry, Emperor of Germany, born in 972, is held in veneration.
by all. He spread Christianity and advanced piety and religion
among his subjects. He died in 1024. He defended the Church
and the Holy See. He came down repeatedly into Italy in
order to defend the rightful Pontiff against opposing factions.
Detained at Monte Cassino by illness he was miraculously
cured through the intercession of St. Benedict. -He asked to
be accepted as a monk in the Abbey of St. Vanne at Verdun;
the abbot commanded him in the name of religious obedience:
to re-ascend the throne. He spent a great part of his treasure
in founding episcopal sees, enriching churches, and endow-
ing monasteries. On one occasion he sent his imperial in-
signia to the Abbey of Cluny in order that they should be
offered up to the Redeemer. St. Henry died on July 13, 1024,
and was canonized by Pope Eugenius III in 1145.

JuLY 16. Our Blessed Lady of Mount Carmel: To-day the:
whole Latin Church joins with the Friars of tlie Blessed Vir-
gin of Mount Carmel in celebrating the munificence of the:
Mother of God towards this Order which is dedicated to her.
The origin.of this illustrious brotherhood which has given
so many saints to the Church, is well known. A little while
before the year 1185, a priest of Calabria having had a rev-
elation of the prophet Elias; ascended Mount Carmel, and
began to restore one of the four ancient monasteries which
he found there, and of which only the foundations remained.

The new institution prospered, and although the. latest
comer, it was able to graft itself successfully upon the great
tradition, already centuries old, of the monastic life which
Oriental cenobites and Benedictine monks had led on Mount
Carmel. Albert, Patriarch of Jerusalem, gave certain rules
of conduct to those hermits who were living at that time under
their superior Brocardo, rules which subsequently were ap-
proved, together with the new foundation, by Honorius III
and Gregory IX. i

In the Thirteenth Century Innocent IV approved the rule
under the generalship of Simon Stock. On July 16, 1251, the
Carmelite habit was placed in his hands by the Blessed Virgin.
It was blessed by the Pope and many privileges attached to it,
not only for members of the Order, but for ail those who enter
the Confraternity of Our Lady of Mount Carmel and wear

the scapular. The Feast of Our Lady of Mount Carmel was
inserted into the Calendar under Benedict XIII in 1726.

JULY 17. St. Alexius, Confessor: St. Alexius was the only
son of a wealthy Roman noble, For Christ's sake he left his
home and, poor and unknown, devoted his life to God's service.
He died early in the Fifth Century. His memory is venerated
in many lands.

JULY 18. St. Camillus of Lellis, Confessor: St. Camillus
of Lellis was born in 1550 of a noble family. He tried twice
to enter the Capuchin Order, but each time had to leave on
account of a sore on his leg. He then spent his life in min-
istering to the sick in the hospitals of St. Giacomo degli
Incurabili, and of the Santo Spirito.. He instituted a congre-
gation of regular Clerics, devoted to the.care of the sick,
St. Philip. Neri who at one time was his confessor, saw in @
vision that the angels themselves inspired the Religious in-
stituted by him with the words best suited to comfort the
dying. Leo XIII appointed him the celestial patron of those
who are at the point of death; his name is in the Litany of
the Dying. He died at Rome, July 14, 1614.

St. Symphorosa and Her Children, Martyrs: Sym-
phorosa and her sons were martyred under Hadrian in the
year 120. The mother was drowned on this day in the River
Anio, whilst her sons had already won the crown of martyr-
dom on June 27; Crescens had been stabbed in the throat,
Julian in the breast, Nemesius in the heart, Primitivus in the
stomach; Justin had received his death-wound in the back,
Stacteus in the side, and Eugenius had been actually cleft in
two. The bodies of the Tiburtine martyrs were brought to
Rome by Stephen III, and were placed in. the deaconry
church of St. Michael,

JULY 19. St. Vincent de Paul, Confessor: St. Vincent de
Paul founder of the Congregation of the Priests of the
Mission (Lazarists), and the Society of the Sisters of Charity,
while a young priest was held as a slave in Africa where he
had been sold by pirates. On his return to France he became
a parish priest. For a time he took the place of a galley
slave. His parish was a country parish; his experience led
him to found the Priests of the Mission, bound by special vow
to undertake this special work. At one time he was entrusted
by St. Francis de Sales with the spiritual. direction of the
nuns of the Visitation. Assisted by Louise de Marillac he
founded the Sisters of Charity.

The authority exercised by St. Vincent was immense, and
was undisputed throughout the kingdom. He was a member
of the king’s Privy Council, and thus had control over the
appointments to the episcopal sees and to the richest benefices
of the Church of France. Yet Vincent, meek and humble of
heart, ascended the magnificent stairs of the palace and took
part in the royal councils with the same evangelical simplicity,
and clothed in the same poor:and shabby garments in which
he traversed the streets of Paris rescuing abandoned waifs
and strays and succoring the helpless sick and suffering. He

died in 1660 at St, Lazarus, the motherhouse of his Congre-
gation: Leo XIII declared him the patron of all charitable
associations. : f E j

JULY 20. St. Jerome Emiliani, Confessor: In the Sixteenth
Century God raised up a number of saints who by prayer,
teaching and good works combated the influence of the pagan
Renaissance. - Among these was St. Jerome Emiliani, who
spent himself in the care of orphans and the poor. He insti-
tuted homes for orphan children, and founded. the Congre-
gation whose object was to educate orphans. They are called
the Somaschi, from Somascha, the little Italian town in which
they were first established. He died on February 8, 1537, from
the plague which he contracted while burying the dead.

It was related that St. Charles Borromeo, when going sev-
eral years afterwards to make a pastoral visitation at So-
mascha, became aware of the presence of the relics of a saint
through the sweet perfume which emanated from his tomb.
Asking for a thurible, St. Charles offered incense on the sep-
ulchre, béing thus the first to render public veneration to the
saint. g

` St. Margaret, Virgin, Martyr: St. Margaret, called
by the Greeks, Marina, was:martyred at Antioch in Pisidia
under Emperor Diocletian at the end of the Third Century.
Devotion to her- -became very popular in Rome during the
Middle Ages, and many chapels and churches were dedicated
to her. She is invoked, especially, by those who are about to
become mothers.

JULY 21. St. Praxedes, Virgin: St. Praxedes was a sister of
St. Pudentiana, whose feast is celebrated on May 19th. She
was the daughter of the Roman Senator Pudens, and after
consecrating her virginity to God, she gave up all her wealth
to the poor. . 7

Pope Paschal I transferred the bodies of many saints from
the catacombs and placed their relics in the Church of St.
Praxedes; an inscription states tha* 2,300 bodies of saints
repose in the crypt under the apse of the Church.

Juri 22. St. Mary Magdalen, Penitent: The Latin writers,
beginning: with Tertullian, have generally and with great
probability identified Mary of Magdala as the sister of Lazarus,
and as the sinner who anointed the feet of Jesus. The- Greeks,
on the other hand, distinguished three Marys.

Her brother Lazarus, died in the island of Cyprus. His
body was brought to Constantinople by the Emperor Leo VI
and laid in the Lazarion, (899). The body of Mary, his sister,
who, according to a tradition dating from the Sixth Century,
had been buried at Ephesus, was soon brought and laid
beside him in the new sepulchral basilica of Byzantium. 'The
Greeks give to her the title of “like unto an apostle” because
she first announced to the world and: to the apostles them-
selves the. resurrection of the Lord. For this reason the Credo
is said in the Mass today, as in Masses of the apostles.

The scene of the conversion of Mary of Magdala is perhaps
one of the incidents in the Gospel which best reveal the

http://ccwatershed.org

gentleness of the heart of the Redeemer. To Mary much is
forgiven, because she loved much; this is the remedy for sin-
ners; this is the spirit which sustains the Church: Militant,
wherein we may indeed see many sins caused by human
frailty, but in which there may be found also a great love
ready to pardon all. `

Jury 23. St. Apollinaris, Bishop, Martyr: St. Apollinaris
was the disciple of St, Peter, who preached the Gospel at
Ravenna. The importance of the See of Ravena in the Sixth
Century brought about an attempt to exalt that See unduly.
On this account we have in the Mass today the voice of St.
Peter recommending the pastors of the Church to avoid the
spirit of domination and pride, and the words of the Gospel
teaching the lesson of humility. St. Apollinaris after a cruel
Scourging and exile was martyred at Ravenna in 79 ap. The
great cathedral of that city is dedicated to him.

St. Liborius, Bishop, Confessor: St. Liborius was
the fourth bishop of Le Mans, France. He was renowned for
the miracles which he wrought on behalf of those suffering
from stone; his name was added to the Calendar by Pope
Clement XI, who suffered with this dangerous malady and
was cured by the intercesion of the saint. He died about the
year . :

.JuLY 24. Vigil of St. James, Apostle: This vigil was cele-
brated from the earliest times. It is recorded in the Martyr-
ology of St. Jerome. :

St. Christina, Virgin, Martyr: St. Christina, a Tus-
can virgin, who when ten years old had taken and destroyed
the silver idols in her father’s house, was in consequence tied
to a post and pierced with arrows. Her tomb was discovered
in 1880; an examination of her relics showed that she was
RECEN more than fourteen years of age at the time of her

eath. i

On this day the Greeks celebrate another St. Christina, mar-
tyr of Tyre. The Greeks salute her as a “stainless bride
wounded by arrows.”

JULY 25. St. James the Greater, Apostle: St. James was the
brother of John, and the first of the Apostolic College to suffer
martyrdom. He was beheaded by Herod Agrippa about the
year 43. He was one of the intimate friends of Our Savior: he
witnessed the Transfiguration and the agony in the Garden
of Olives. Christ foretold his martyrdom on the occasion when
the mother of James and John asked for her two sons that
they be seated one at his right hand and one at his left in His
Kingdom, James preached the Gospel in Judea and Samaria
and even in distant Spain.

In the Sixth Century the tomb of the two apostles of the
name of James was still being venerated at Jerusalem. But
in the Ninth Century we find that the relics of St. James the
Great were already the object of great devotion at Santiago de
Compostella, whither they must have been carried after the
Arabs had taken possession of the.Holy City.. Throughout the

http://ccwatershed.org

ACCOUNTS OF FEASTS AND LIVES OF SAINTS 1718

Middle Ages, the pilgrimage to Galicia to ihe tomb of St.
James was one of the most popular of all, and wholly worthy
of the special place which St. James occupied.beside Our
Blessed Lord. `

St. Christopher, Martyr: St. Christcpher, a native
Of Chanaan, was martyred at Lycia in the Third Century.
He was greatly venerated in the Eást. His name, Which sig-
nifies "one who carries Christ," won for him great veneration
even in the city of Rome. Many statues of St. Christopher
Were placed at the entrance to cathedrals. He is the patron
of travelers and is invoked in storms, tempest and plagues.
TUE medal of St. Christopher is frequently attached to motor
vehicles. : :

: JULY 26. St. Ann, Mother of Our Blessed Lady: The privi-
leges and graces with which God had surrounded the Immacu-
late Conception of His Blessed Mother Mary were reflected
upon her happy parents, Joachim and Ann. We find, there-
fore, that in the Sixth Century Justinian built & church at
Constantinople in honor of St. Ann. i

Devotion to the grandparents of the divine Redeemer spread
almost everywhere in the East. The Syrians venerated St. Ann
under the name of Dina on July 25; other eastern Churches
placed her feast on another date. Pope Leo III placed pic-
iures of Joachim and Ann in the Church of St. Mary Major.
Gregory XIII in 1584 inserted the feast of St. Ann in the
Roman Missal.

At Rome in the patriarchal basilica of St. Paul the precíous
relic of the arm of St. Ann was venerated even in the days of
St. Bridget of Sweden, who obtained a very small portion of it
as a gift. St. Ann then appeared to her and showed her how
to venerate and take care of the sacred relics. Leo XIII and
Benedict XV have given. several fragments of this arm of
St. Ann to clebrated sanctuaries dedicated to her in Canada
and in Normandy, where God has been pleased to honor them
by performing various miracles. JM

Her feast was extended to the Universal Church by Pope
Leo XIII in 1879. Pope Benedict XV visited her chapel out-
side the Vatican; this was the first time after 1870 that a Pope
left the Vatican.

Juv 27. St. Pantaleon, Martyr: St. Pantaleon was a physi-
sian of Nicomedia. His name signifies in the Greek "many
shall obtain mercy"; it was given him by Christ with this
promise. During his martyrdom Our Lord appeared to him
as he was tortured on the rack and burned with flaming
torches. He is the principal patron (after St. Luke) of the
medical profession. His blood liquifies on his feast day in
the phial in which it is preserved at Ravello near Amalfi,

JULY 28. Sts. Nazarius, Celsus, Victor I, and Innocent I,
Martyrs: St. Nazarius was baptized by Pope Linus at Rome;
in his turn: he baptized the youthful Celsus. They were both
beheaded at Milan about the year 368. Their bodies, buried
in a garden outside the city, were found by St. Ambrose. in

395. The body of St, Nazarius appeared as if it had just been
beheaded. It was placed by St. Ambrose in the Basilica
Romana. The body of the boy Celsus was found in another
part of the garden, but was not removed. However, a basilica
was later built in his honor.

Pope St. Victor, the thirteenth in order from St. Peter, is
famous in the history of the Church of the first three centuries
for his encyclicals addressed to all the churches, in which he
appointed synods with a view to coming to an agreement
concerning the date of the celebration of Easter. Even the
bishops of the most remote dioceses of Asia Minor obeyed the
Pope's order and sent their votes to- Rome, but as these were
not in accordance with the Roman view, it very nearly caused
a schism, He succeeded in settling the controversy about the
date of Easter, and is said to have decided that in case of
necessity Baptism might be given with natural water. He was
ihe first ecclesiastical writer to write in Latin.

St. Innocent I, Pope, Confessor (402-417), took a vigorous
part in the defence of St. John Chrysostom; upheld the rights
of the Holy See and wrote a letter on liturgical questions
which remains a notable document to this day.

JULY 29. St. Martha, Virgin: St. Martha accompanied her
sister St. Mary Magdalen and her brother St. Lazarus into
Gaul, where she closed her holy life. Her sacred relics are
venerated at Tarascon, in Provence.

The ways by which God leads men’s souls are very varied;
one way may be more perfect than another, but each soul
must sanctify itself in its own fashion. Grace does not do
violence to nature, but perfects it; thus, although St. John
tells us that Jesus loved Martha, Mary, and Lazarus, each of
the sisters always retains her own individual character in the
Gospel narrative. Mary feels more deeply, and, therefore,
though she is habitually more recollected, yet she is also a
woman of an eager and pleasing disposition, more courageous
in her actions.

The virtues of Martha, the elder sister of Lazarus, on the
other hand, are more commonplace and less exceptional.
She is a good housekeeper, diligent, affectionate, and for-
bearing in undertaking the additional labor which Mary’s
different nature puts upon her. In discharging her daily
duties she looks at life chiefly from the practical side. The
Savior lovés her much, because, though Mary is eager to re-
ceive spiritual food from him, Martha, on the contrary, shows
a mother’s tender care both for Him and for His disciples,
who were always received as members of the family in her
home at Bethany.

Sts. Felix II, Simplicius, Faustinus, and Beatrice,
Martyrs: The martyr-Pope St. Felix II governed the Church
during the exile of Pope Liberius, in the middle of the Fourth
Century. Simplicius and Faustinus were drowned in the
Tiber, probably in 303, when the great persecution under
Diocletian was at its height.

Beatrice, their sister, with the aid of the priest Priscus, re-
covered their bodies in order to give them burial; for which
Offence she was strangled in prison.

In the Fourth Century & basilica was built at the side of the
Sepulchre of the two brothers and their sister.

JuLv 30. Sts. Abdon and Sennen, Martyrs: Sis. Abdon and
Sennen were Persians who, coming to Rome in the Third
Century, courageously confessed the faith of Christ and were
put to death in the persecution of Decius in 250.

JULY 31. St. Ignatius of Loyola, Confessor: St. Ignatius,
founder of the Society of Jesus, was born at Loyola in Spain,
in the year 1491. He served his king as a soldier till his thir-
tieth year. Convalescing from a severe wound received at the
Siege of Pampeluna, he was given, in the absence of other
books, the Lives of Jesus Christ and of the Saints. It dawned
on his chivalric nature that the Church has need of her army
to defend under the sovereign Pontiff the interest of God
against heresy and all evil. On his recovery he ascended
Montserrat and in the Benedictine Abbey. there he laid down
his sword at the feet of the Blessed Virgin. He learned here to
love the Psalms and canticles of the Divine Office which he was
later to recommend to the faithful; he desired that those who
were to make his Spiritual Exercises should choose a dwelling
whence they could easily go to the Offices of Matins and
Vespers as well as to Mass. Among the Benedictines of St.
Pauls in Rome, Ignatius pronounced his vows and was reg-
ularly elected the first general of his new Society.

The name of Loyola and the Society founded by him are
synonymous with the highest degree of Catholic life and
activity, so that the enemies of the Church, whilst they may
show toleration for other religious Orders, keep up an un-
dying hatred for that of St. Ignatius, in which they justly
recognize the most efficient and invincible army which Provi-
dence has placed under the immediate command of the Vicar
of Christ..

Ignatius and his companions, by means of the Spiritual
Exercises tried to raise the clergy to a higher realization of
their own dignity and mission. Their zeal for the Liturgy led
them to restore the churches to their former cleanliness, dig-
nity, and magnificence. Drawn by these exterior attractions,
the faithful were the more easily induced to frequent the Sac-
raments and the Offices of the Church. From the very begin-
ning they undertook works of education and missionary labors.

With the sweet name of Jesus on his lips and in his heart,
St. Ignatius gave his soul to God on July 31, 1556. His body
is preserved in Rome in the magnificent church built by
Cardinal Alessandro Farnese and dedicated to his memory.

Feasts of August

Avs. 1. St. Peter's Chains: The chains with which St. Peter
the Apostle was fettered from time to time have always been
the object of veneration among the faithful. They are pre-

served in a basilica in Rome, which is called Saint Peter
ad Vincula (in chains). The anniversary of the dedication of
this church falls on August 1st. The chains of the Apostle
Paul are preserved in the Basilica of St. Paul. The*reverence
shown to the chains of the two apostles must have been very
widely spread in olden times from the moment when Justinian
I asked the Pope for “a portion of the chains of the holy
apostles, if ib were possible" and St. Gregory the Great relates
that in his day the faithful were eagerly desirous of the favor
of possessing af least a small quantity of the filings of St.
Pauls chains. The chains of St. Peter are in two portions,
one having eleven links, shaped so as to hold the hands, and
the other twenty-three links, at the end of which are two
half circles to hold the neck. Only four links are preserved of
the chains which bound St. Paul.

Aus. 1. The Holy Machabees, Martyrs: The Seven Macha-
bees, brothers, and other Jews, suffered martyrdom for their
faith in the second century before Christ, under the tyrant
Antiochus Epiphanes, the impious king of Syria. They are
the only martyrs who suffered before Christ that are honored
with a feast of universal observance. Their relics were placed
in the church of St, Peter's Chains beneath the new altar
on August Ist.

Avsc. 2. St. Alphonsus Mary de Liguori, Bishop, Confessor,
Doctor of the Church: St. Alphonsus was born of noble parents
near Naples, Italy, in 1696, and died in 1787. In the midst of
many evils he appeared with a three-fold mission as Doctor,
Bishop, and founder of à new religious Order. As Doctor he
became the great teacher of Moral Theology; he found the
middle way between the two extremes of the lax and the over-
rigorous, and by his ascetic writings he spread amongst the
people Catholic piety, devotion to Our Lady, to Jesus in the
Blessed Sacrament, to the Passion, and defended the supreme
rights of the Church and of the Pope.

As apostle and bishop St. Alphonsus sought to imitate Our
Divine Redeemer in His evangelizing journeys through the
villages of Galilee and Judea. Hence he founded his own
society of missionaries whom he destined to labor among the
poor peasants and mountaineers rather than the inhabitants
of the towns.

As founder of a new Order, the saint has the merit of having
adapted the scope of his work to the needs of the time, and of
having brought it to completion in spite of innumerable
difficulties. Although approved by the Pope, the King of
Naples refused to permit the new Order to establish itself. St.
Alphonsus himself was excluded from the houses of his own
Order in the Kingdom of Naples. This schism existed until
his death. After his death the whole scene changes; the re-
jected founder is raised to the altars, and his Congregation ex-
tends its boundaries beyond the confines of Italy and of
Europe. `

He was devoted in a special manner to the Holy Eucharist,
and left a beautiful little book entitled Visits to the Blessed
Sacrament.

Auc. 2. St. Stephen I, Pope, Martyr: St. Stephen, by
birth a Roman, was made Pope on May 3, 253, and governed
the Church for three years. He decided the question of the
validity of Baptism when administered by heretics, ordering
that the tradition should be preserved according to which it
was sufficient that they receive confirmation. He was mur-
dered by the Emperor's soldiers while seated in his episcopal
chair in the catacombs, during the celebration of Mass, Au-
gust 2, 257.

Aus. 3. The Finding of the Body of St. Stephen, the First
Martyr: The body of St. Stephen, the first martyr, with those
of some other saints, was discovered near Jerusalem in the
year 415. Later the body of the saint was taken to Constan-
tinople and finally to Rome, where it now lies beside that
of St. Lawrence. The many miracles that occurred on the
finding of St. Stephen’s body let to the institution of this
festival, besides that of December 26th. A tradition states
that Gamaliel, the teacher of St. Paul, had buried the body of
St. Stephen at his country house; Nicodemus and Abibas, son
of Gamaliel, and Gamaliel himself, were also buried there.

Aus. 4. St. Dominic, Confessor: St. Dominic, the founder
of the Order of Friars Preachers, was born in Spain in 1170,
and died at Bologna, Italy, in 1221. In 1208 while the saint
was at prayer Our Lady appeared to him, gave him the
Rosary, and bade him go forth and preach. Beads in hand,
he led the Catholic troops against the Albigensians and
crushed that heresy. Countless souls were brought to grace by
his words. His parents attributed his birth to the prayers of
the holy Benedictine Abbot, Dominic of Silos; his mother saw
in a vision her child in the shape of a little dog, holding a torch
in his mouth. He became the great defender of Catholic Doc-
trine, and the opponent of heresies.

Ava. 5. The Dedication of the Church of Our Lady-of-the-
Snow: Tradition tells us that during the pontificate of Pope
Liberius, in the Fourth Century, in the heat of August, the
plan of the church of St. Mary Major was traced out in a
miraculous fall of snow. For this reason that basilica is
known as St. Mary-of-the-Snow, and the name is also given
to the feast of its dedication. The stations at Christmas are
held in this Church because some relics of the Crib of Bethle-
hem are preserved there. The Pope was also accustomed to
officiate there on the first Sunday in Advent, at the beginning
of the ecclesiastical year.

Ava: 6. The Transfiguration of Our Lord Jesus Christ:
This festival was originally commemorated on the Vigil of
Ember Saturday in Lent. With the decline of liturgical un-
derstanding a special festival was instituted in its honor in
order to arouse popular devotion to this mystery. It is now
the patronal feast of the Lateran Basilica, and of all churches
under the title of St. Savior.

Sts. Sixtus, Felicissimus, and Agapitus, Martyrs:
Pope St. Sixtus lI, mentioned in the Canon of the Mass,

http://ccwatershed.org

1718 ACCOUNTS OF FEASTS AND LIVES OF SAINTS

was the first martyr actually put to death in the catacombs
themselves. Under the Emperor Valerian (258) he was be-
headed on his throne just as he finished Mass: His four
deacons were put to death with him, and two others, Felicissi-
mus and Agapitus, were decapitated the same day while St,
Lawrence, the archdeacon, was put. to death three days later.

Auc. 7. St. Cajetan, Confessor: St. Cajetan was born in 1480
in Lombardy, of pious and noble parents. From childhood he
was known as a saint and in later years as “a hunter of souls.”
Even before St. Ignatius he undertook to establish a body of
Clerks Regular following the apostolic life. Together with
Pietro Carafa, afterwards Pope Paul IV, he took the austere
vow of entrusting himself entirely to Divine Providence and
living solely on any alms which might be voluntarily given
by the faithful.

Christian Rome venerate$ him as one of her most distin-
guished citizens. He took a notable part in the refcrm of the
Breviary under Clement VII. When celebrating Mass in St.
Mary's Major at the crib of Our Lord, he merited the grace
of holding the divine Infant in his arms. Worn out with
toil and sickness he went to his reward in 1547.

St. Donatus, Bishop anà Martyr: St. Donatus,
Bishop of Arezzo in Tuscany, suffered martyrdom under Em-
peror Julian the Apostate, in 361. He was illustrious for his
sanctity and for his gift of working miracles. The Church has
always remembered him with the highest veneration.

Auc. 8. Sts. Cyriacus, Largus, and Smaragdus, Martyrs:
St. Cyriacus was a holy deacon of Rome under Popes Marcelli-
nus and Marcellus. With Largus, Smaragdus, and about
twenty others he was crowned with martyrdom in 303, in the
persecution of Diocletian. The occasion of the translation
of their remains many years later to a church dedicated to
them led to the institution of a festival in their memory.
St. Cyriacus is invoked for diseases of the eye, and against
diabolical possessions.

Aus. 9. St. John Mary Vianney, Confessor: St. John Mary
Vianney was born at Dardily, France, in 1786. He was a
farm-hand until his nineteenth year, when he began his
studies for the priesthood. His talents were poor, and his
progress slow. He was ordained at Grenoble in 1815; he
became parish priest of Ars in 1818. That little town was
the scene of his marvelous labors until his holy death, August
4, 1859. He was canonized May 31, 1925, by Pope Pius XI.
For forty years his food and sleep were insufficient to sustain
human life; during the last ten years of his life he spent from
sixteen to eighteen hours a day in the confessional, En-
lightened by God, he could read hearts and soften the most
hardened sinner. He healed the sick and cast out devils; like
his Master he was openly persecuted, calumniated and hated
by wicked men. His little parish attracted thousands of people.
Towards the end of his life 158,000 people visited Ars in a
single year. He founded an orphanage for girls, trusting its
support to Divine Providence. He had the gift of prophecy,

and told many souls what the future held 1n store for them.
He is in a special manner tbe model for all parish priests.

Auc. 9. The Vigil of St. Lawrence: The vigil of St. Law-
rence has been observed in the Church certainly since the
Fourth Century. The ancient vigils consisted of a fixed
number of scriptural Lessons alternated with responsorial
Psalms and episcopal Collects. When day began to break, the
Holy Sacrifice was offered and the fast came to an end.

St. Romanus, Martyr: St. Romanus was a Roman
Soldier. He was converted to the Christian faith by the preach-
ing of St. Lawrence, and was beheaded the day preceding that
of the saints martyrdom.

Aus. 10. St. Lawrence, Martyr: After the feast of Sts. Peter
and Paul this is the greatest festival in the ancient Roman
Liturgy. The terrible martyrdom endured by the famous
archdeacon deeply impressed the generations that came im-
mediately after him, for whom Lawrence became at Rome that
which Stephen had been at Jerusalem.

In order to save from confiscation some property of the
Church that had been intrusted to Lawrence, he sold it and
gave the proceeds to the poor. As the enemies of the Church
believed he had concealed the treasures and hoped to make him
reveal their hiding-place, he was roasted alive on a gridiron,
After an agony of hours he expired with a prayer on his lips
for the conversion of the heathens.

His ashes were placed in peace by the priest Justin in the
cemetery of Cyriacus. Constantine erected a basilica on the
spot, which has since been rebuilt several times. The gridiron
is still preserved in the old Church of San Lorenzo in Lucina.

Aug. 11. Sts. Tiburtius and Susanna, Martyrs: St. Tiburtius,
a, subdeacon, son of the prefect of Rome, being accused of pro-
fessing the Christian religion, was beheaded, 286, outside the
walls of Rome. Nine years later St. Susanna, a holy virgin,
after many torments laid down her life for Christ.

Aus. 12. St. Clare, Virgin: St. Clare, born at Assisi in Umbria,
was the first of the holy virgins whom St. Francis, conse-
crating to God, bound to Christlike poverty. On a visit to
St. Francis, she expressed to him her desire to become a Spouse
of Christ. To St. Francis had been given a little chapel called
the Portiuncula by the Benedictine abbot of Monte Subasio.
St. Francis gave to Clare the rule of St. Benedict to follow,
as he desired to graft his new foundation on to the old Order,
so as to give it a canonical basis, one already recognized by
Holy Church. St. Francis determined that Clare should not
imitate the rich convents of Benedictines then in Umbria, but
should go back to the early traditions of Benedictine poverty;
thus it was that Pope Gregory IX was able to write to them
before they had a rule of their own: “Now you are worthy
daughters of the blessed Benedict.” Her sister Agnes and
other women soon joined her; they walked barefooted, slept on
the ground, observed perpetual abstinence, and made poverty
the basis of their lives.

St. Clare teaches us to have great devotion to the Holy
Eucharist. In the midst of her extreme poverty she caused the
Blessed Sacrament to be kept in a silver case placed in an ivory
pyx. One day when the Sarcens attacked the Convent of San
Damiano, Clare herself held up the pyx containing the Blessed
Sacrament like a shield between the nuns and the fury of
the infidels. The enemy turned and fied.

St. Clare passed to her heavenly reward, August 11, 1253,
and was canonized by Pope Alexander IV, two years later,

Ava. 13. Sts. Hippolytus and Cassian, Martyrs: St. Hippoly-
tus is one of the.saints associated with St. Lawrence, who bap-
tized him, and whom he followed to martyrdom in 258.

St. Cassian was a schoolmaster, and the official who sen-
tenced him to death for being a Christian had him murdered
by his own pupils.

Avc. 14. The Vigil of the Feast of the Assumption of Our
Blessed Lady. As early as the Seventh Century the prepara-
tion, by a solemn fast, for keeping devoutly the great festival
of the Assumption, is described as a custom of great antiquity.
In many parts of the Church the strict fast enjoined lasted
over several days. The Mass celebrated on this day is of
Our Blessed Lady, on account of its being that of a vigil, and
is sald in purple vestments, and the hymn Gloria in excelsis
s omitted.

St. Eusebius, Confessor: St. Eusebius was a Roman
priest distinguished for his zeal in the cause of orthodoxy.
He lived in the Fourth Century of our era. He appears to have
died in prison. The universal veneration in which he was
held led to his immediate canonization.

Ave. 15. The Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary:
Among the feasts of the Blessed Virgin that of the dormitio
sanctæ Mariœ, or of her bodily assumption into heaven, was
Írom very early times the most solemn and the most widely
observed. In the time of Pope Sergius I a solemn procession
proceeded to St. Mary Major, where Mass was celebrated. It
was customary to carry images of the Savior and of His
Blessed Mother in this procession; outside of Rome a similar
ceremony was observed.

It should, however, be borne in mind that though the divinc
maternity of the Blessed Virgin Mary may be regarded as the
immediate reason of her Assumption into heaven, yet the first
and formal reason of this privilege is to be sought in her Im-
maculate Conception. It is true, indeed, that the dignity of
the Mother of the Incarnate Word was the primary reason for
which God preserved the Immaculate Conception of Mary
from all stain of original sin—and in this sense the Gregorian
Sacramentary rightly attributes the reason of the bodily resur-
rection of the Blessed Virgin to her prerogative as Mother of
the Word—but in order to express this truth with perfect ac-
curacy, it is necessary to say that the formal reason for the
preservation of her body from corruption was precisely her
immunity from all stain of original sin.

The consecrated formulas of the Roman Liturgy have not
any difficulty in expressing and in reconciling the fact of the
death of the Blessed Virgin with her bodily resurrection, due
to her exalted dignity. 3

The end of that transitory state in which the pilgrim soul
finds itself on earth is called by us death, but it does not
necessarily imply any idea of pain or abasement in the case

| of the Immaculate Mother of God. The state of separation

of soul and body with all its consequences, such as bodily cor-
ruption, long and violent separation of form from matter, etc.,
had no power over the Mother of God.

1 The authority of the Roman Liturgy concerning the possi-

i bility of dogmatic definition of the Assumption of the Blessed
Virgin is paramount, for it reflects the teaching and authority
of the supreme Pontiff. Now that Catholic devotion antici-
pates the day when the infallible Teacher of Truth will place
this last gem in the diadem which adorns Our Lady in heaven,
theologians will be able to draw largely on that fount of Catho-
lic tradition which is contained in the Liturgy, especially that
of Rome.

| Auc. 16. St. Joachim, Father of the Blessed Virgin Mary,
Confessor: The excellence of a fruit is always a sign of the

? quality of the tree which bore it. In the case of St. Joachim,

UE the Immaculate Conception of Mary reflects a splendid glory

] on the chaste union of her parents. :

The Gospels speak of a sister of Our Lady who accom-
panied her even to the foot of the cross. According to some
authorities she too was a daughter of Anna and of Joachim.

His feast was first introduced into the Breviary by Julius

II, who fixed the date of March 20. Leo XIII (Joachim Pecci)
raised it to a double of the second class. In the reform of the.
* Breviary, carried out by Pius X, August 16th was the date
3 fixed. ;
f The close relationship which existed between the Savior and
$ St. Joachim confers on the latter of great dignity, raising
$ him above other saints, so that the honor paid to him is re-
flected upon Christ Himself in a special manner and upon His
Immaculate Mother. They. loved him and honored him in
this world above all others. Their love is like a precious gem
which adorns the crown of the holy Patriarch in heaven.

Aus. 17. St. Hyacinth, Confessor: St. Hyacinth, the glorious
apostle of Poland and Russia, was admitted into the Order
of Friars Preachers by St. Dominic himself. By his example
of holy living and by the power of his preaching, multitudes
were converted, churches and: convents were built, and 120,000
pagans and infidels were baptized by his hands. He died at
Cracow A.D. 1257, on the feast of the Assumption.

Aug. 18. Of the Octave of the Assumption: The doctrine
of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary has not been
' defined as a dogma of faith; however, it is accepted univer-
sally in the Church. Benedict XIV declared that no one is
permitted to doubt its truth. The solemnity attached to its

feast makes it part of the ordinary belief of the faithful,

AUG. 18. St. Agapitus, Martyr: The Roman Martyrology
commemorates to-day Agapitus who, at the age of fifteen, was
put to death with a sword at Preneste in Italy. His tomb
has recently been found with the inscription “Agapitus, pray
for me.” His body was transferred to Corneto in 1431.

Ava. 19. St. John Eudes, Confessor: St. John Eudes was born
at Ri, France, November 14, 1601; he made brilliant studies at
Cen; became an Oratorian and a priest; founded, in 1641, tbe
Congregation of Our Lady of Refuge (Good Shepherd Nuns) ;
left the Oratory and founded, in 1643, the Society of Jesus
and Mary (Eudists) for the education of priests and for mis-
Sionary work; instituted the feasts of the Hearts of Jesus and
wb wrote a number of ascetical books; died at Cen, August

, 1680. :

He was noted as a preacher and for his great love of God.
He made a special vow always to do what was most pleasing
to God. In the confessional all the fire of his pulpit oratory
disappeared and he was as gentle as a lamb.

Aue. 20. St. Bernard, Abbot, Doctor: St. Bernard, Abbot of
Clairvaux, was born in Burgundy, in 1091. He was at once
a reformer of the monastic life, a preacher of the Crusade,
a Doctor of the Universal Church, a worker of miracles, à
peace-maker between kings, princes and peoples, the oracle of
Popes, and the champion of the Roman See against schisms
and heresies. The mortal frame of the saint, consumed by
penance and by sickness, could scarcely contain his soul on
fire for tne glory of God. 'This fire communicated itself to
those around him; his secretaries had difficulty in recording
the numerous miraculous cures which he worked by the
touch of his hand, or simply by a blessing. On a visit to
Italy he installed at the ancient Abbey ad aquas Salvias, as

first abbot, Bernardo Pisano, who became Pope Eugenius III. .

He died at Clairvaux, August 20, 1153, and was buried at the
foot of the Blessed Virgin's altar. Pius VIII declared him a
Doctor of the Church.

Auc. 21. St. Jane Frances, Widow: St. Jane Frances Fre-
miot was born in France and was married to Baron de Chan-
tal She made her house the model of a Christian home. On
the death of ber husband, with the assistance of St. Francis
de Sales, she founded the Order of the Visitation, of which she
became the first superior.

Avs. 22. Immaculate Heart of Mary: Devotion to Mary's
Heart always flourished in the Church, but its first official ap-
proval did not come till the beginning of the 19th century when
Pius VI approved, for certain religious organizations, a Feast
for the Most Pure Heart of Mary. The devotion was approved
for the universal Church when Pius XII dedicated all mankind
to the Heart of Mary in December, 1942, following this by the
Aun 5s the vul Feast of E pic gini Heart t the

"This was a recognition of the fact that he bore the.same name
as the great disciple of St. Paul.

St. Hippolytus (not the rival of Pope Callixtus) was a martyr
of Porto. His history is wrapped in obscurity.

St. Sympliorian is a celebrated martyr of Autun, beheaded
under the reign of Aurelian about 180. When he was being
led to martyrdom his pious mother called to him: “My son,
my son, look up to heaven and behold Him Who reigns there.
You are not being led to death, but to a better life.”

Ava. 23. St. Philip Benizi, Confessor: St. Philip Benizi was
born in Florence on the feast of the Assumption in 1233. He
was one of the first to profess the religious life as a Servite,
and in time became general of the Order. With his brethren
he preached in many countries of Europe, and journeyed even
into western Asia to spread the Christian faith. In his hu-
mility he refused honors, and even the Papacy, which was
offered him by the cardinals assembled in conclave. He en-
tered into the glory of heaven in the year 1285.

It is said that when he was dying he repeatedly asked for
his book, and when the infirmarian did not understand his
meaning the saint made signs that he wanted his crucifix,
7 which was the book in which he was accustomed to meditate.

$ The Vigil of St. Bartholomew, Apostle: Like the
* other Apostles, the holy Nathanæl or Bartholomew, a true
{ Israelite, sincere and without guile, as Our Savior Himself
$ testified, was honored with a vigil which was already noted in
Athe Martyrology of St. Jerome.

ý The Mass is that of December 20, but at Rome the Office
“of to-day was not introduced until much later.

f Auc. 24. St. Bartholomew, Apostle: In the Gospel of St.
John, Bartholomew is not mentioned among the Apostles, but
it is stated that Philip and Nathanael came to Jesus, and that
Jesus said of Nathanael, “the Israelite in whom was no guile.”
In the list of the apostles in the other Gospels, Nathanael is
not mentioned, but after Philip is placed Bartholomew.

The Redeemer chose all the apostles at once, and formed
them from the beginning into a hierarchial group with St.
Peter at their head, in order to show us that the rightful
priesthood instituted by Christ is that which is derived in un-
broken sUccession from the twelve apostles chosen by Our
Savior, and being in communion with the See of Peter, is also
in communion with the entire Catholic episcopate.

Bartholomew is said to have preached the faith over a great
part of Asia and suffered martyrdom in Armenia, where he
was flayed alive. His body was transferred many times, and
is now believed to repose in the Church of St. Bartholomew on
an island in the Tiber.

Aue. 25. St. Louis, King, Confessor: To-day ‘we commemo-
rate a king who was a faithful disciple of Christ Crucified, and
whose life bears witness to the truth that virtue is not always
rewarded in this world. Louis was inspired by his zeal for.

the Faith to attempt the reconquest of the Holy Places sanc-
tified by the blood of the Redeemer, but instead of triumph
and victory, he only met with defeat and captivity, and when
he was at last ransomed by his people, he brought back to
Paris as a symbolic trophy of his campaigns the crown of
thorns once worn by Our Savior. ` .

He died of plague under the walls of Tunis, to which city
he was about to lay siege, on August 25, 1270. Christian
Rome dedicated a celebrated church.to him, not far from the
Stadium Domitiani.

The custom of genuflecting at the words in the Credo, et
homo factus est, and of making profound reverence:at the
passage in the Gospels recording the death of Jesus was
introduced by this pious king in his own chapel; they are now
part of the ordinary ceremonial.

Auc. 26. St. Zephyrinus, Pope, Martyr: St. Zephyrinus, a
Pope of the Third Century, after a lengthy reign in the course
of which he earned the title of martyr by his suffering, died
& holy death. He'is said to have forbidden the use of wooden
chalices in the celebration of the Mass, and to have-prescribed
that all the faithful should receive Communion cn Easter
Day. He defended the Church against heresies and especially
of those who denied the Trinity.

Auc. 27. St. Joseph Calasanctius, Confessor: St. Joseph Cal-
asanctius was born in Aragon in 1556. Having become 2
priest it was revealed to him that he should teach the chil-
dren of the poor. He founded the Order of the Poor Clerks
Regular of the Pious Schools of the Mother of God. He was
ever a devout pilgrim at the shrines of the martyrs, and daily;
visited the seven Churches of Rome, where he lived for fifty
years. He died August 25, 1648. -

Auc. 28. St. Augustine, Bishop, Confessor, Doctor of the
Church: St. Augustine was born at Tagaste, Africa, in 354.
In his early life he abandoned the pious teaching of his
mother and fell into grievous sins. Finally at Milan he was
converted by the example and words of St. Ambrose and bap-
tized in 387. His mother, St. Monica, died seven months
later when, with her son, she was about to return to Africa.
St. Augustine remembered her always in his prayers and
offered the Holy Mass for her soul. He was made bishop of
Hippo in 395, and established a common life for his clergy.
The rule of St. Augustine is drawn from his 211th epistle
whicb he wrote for nuns and which later was adapted for the
men. He is one of the few saints who was appreciated even
during his lifetime; his contemporaries recognized his sanctity
and his learning. No conncil was held at that time in Africa
of which the Bishop of the small city of Hippo was not the
leading spirit. He died in 430. His body was saved by African
bishops from the profanation of the Vandals. It was taken
first to Sardinia, and then to Pavia, where it is still pre-
served in Ciel d'Oro.

St. Hermes, Martyr: St, Hermes, a prefect of Rome,
suffered under Emperor Hadrian, about 132, in the time of
Pope Telesphorus.

Auc. 29. The Beheading of St. John the Baptist: Besides
the chief feast of St. John the Baptist, that of his nativity, the
Church commemorates on the twenty-ninth of. August, his
glorious death and birth into heaven, Ever since the Fourth
Century in Africa, in the East, in Syria, and in many places
all over the World, the beheading of St. John the Baptist has
been commemorated on August 29th. When in 362, pagans
violated the tomb and burned his remains, some parts were
saved by monks, and taken to St. Athanasius at Alexandria.
The head is said to have been preserved at Jerusalem, and
may later have been brought to Rome.

The Gospel of the Mass recounts his martyrdom. He died
because his sanctity as precursor of Christ was intolerable to
the immoral Herodias. He anticipated in his death the hum-
iliations of Calvary, but he was rewarded by having his
praises spoken by the Savior Himself, even if Jesus and his
disciples did not actually assist at his funeral, as some legends
maintain.

St. Sabina, Martyr: St. Sabina, à Roman widow
of high birth, suffered martyrdom under Emperor Hadrian,
early in the Second Century, and was buried in the same
grave with St. Seraphia, her maid-servant, who had instructed
her in the Faith.

Ava. 30. St. Rose of Lima, Virgin: St. Rose, the first canon-
ized saint of the New World, was born at Lima in 1586. She
received the name of Isabella in Baptism, but one day her
mother saw a beautiful rose drooping over the baby's cradle,
and ever afterwards called her Rose. She was an obedient
child; her mortifications were most severe. She prayed,
worked, and wept for the conversion of sinners; she excelled
in her love for holy purity. She lived a life of simplicity and
prayer in a small hut in a corner of her father’s garden;
the birds would visit her and sing with her the praises of
God. The Savior frequently appeared to her. Her devotion
to the Passion of Our Lord was remarkable as were her own
sufferings. Her bed was strewn with glass shards, with nails
and thorns; she wore chafing hair-cloth; her head was
crowned with painful thorns skillfully concealed by roses.
She died August 26, 1617. Her Office was written by the
eminent Cardinal Bona.

Sts. Felix and Adauctus, Martyrs: St. Felix suf-
fered martyrdom in the year 303, and was joined by Adauctus,
who shared his martyr crown. A painting of the Sixth Cen-
tury depicts both of them with the priestly tonsure. Felix is
an old man, but Adauctus stands on the right hand side,
although he is young and beardless.

Auc. 31. St. Raymond Nonnatus, Confessor: The mother of
this heroic Spanish saint, did not live for him to know and
love. He asked the Blessed Virgin to take him as her special
son. She revealed to him that he should devote himself to
the ransoming of captives. He then founded the Order of
Our Lady of Mercy for this purpose. He even gave himself
up as a hostage to the Mohammedans for their sake. He was

made 2 Cardinal after his rescue, bui died shortly after

Feasts of September

Sepr. 1. St. Giles, Abbot: St. Giles, an Athenien, lived prob-
ably in the second half of the Seventh Century, and founded
a celebrated monastery in the diocese of Nimes. St. Urban
made his feast common to the Universal Church. His feast
was kept at Rome with great solemnity with fireworks, music,
races through the streets, etc. He is invoked for the cure of
epilepsy and other diseases, The abbey erected in his honor
was a magnificent structure and center of pilgrimage during
the middle ages.

The Holy Twelve Brothers, Martyrs: The Holy
Twelve Brothers, natives of Africa, suffered at Beneventum in
Southern Italy, under Emperor Valerian, A.D. 258.

SEPT. 2. St. Stephen, King of Hungary, Confessor: St.
Stephen, King of Hungary, introduced Christianity into his
native land. Pope Sylvester II gave him the privilege of
having a cross carried before him like an archbishop. He did
all that an apostle could do for his country. By his example
and his influence he induced the nobles and the people to
embrace the Catholic Faith; he gave Christian legislation to
the kingdom; he founded and endowed episcopal sees, built
monasteries and established charitable institutions, not only
in dT but even in Constantinople, Jerusalem, Ravenna
and Rome.

St. Stephen, seven years before his death, saw his young
and most innocent son Emerich, an angel of purity and holi-
ness, whom God glorified by many miracles, precede him on
the way to heaven. He followed him to the tomb on August
15, 1034, but Innocent XI appointed his feast to be kept on
September 2, in memory of the victory which the Christian
army won over the Turks at Budapest on this day.

SEPT. 5. St. Lawrence Justinian, Bishop, Confessor: St.
Lawrence Justinian was the first Patriarch of his native city,
Venice. Renouncing the prospect of a noble marriage, he
entered the Canons of St. George in Alga. All his revenues
were spent on the poor and the building of new monasteries.
God made it known that the safety of the glorious Venetian
State was due, not to the diplomatic skill of her doges, or
her formidable galleys, but to the holiness and merits of her
bishop. He was a true fore-runner of the ecclesiastical reform
Jater carried out by the Councilof Trent. He died on January
8, 1455, a model of humility and pastoral zeal. Innocent XII
fixed his feast on this day, the anniversary of his episcopal
consecration.

SEPT. 8. The Nativity of Blessed Virgin Mary: This fes-
tival originated in the East where it is mentioned very early.
At Rome it was not observed before the reign of Pope Sergius
I. As Eve, our first mother, arose from the side of Adam,

dazzling with life and innocence, so Mary came forth, bright
and immaculate from the heart of the eternal Word, Who, by
the co-operation of the Holy Spirit, as the Liturgy teaches us,
Was pleased to form that body and soul which were to be, one
day, his tabernacle and altar. This is the sublime meaning
of the feast of the Birthday of the Blessed Virgin Mary. It is
the dawn foretelling the day which already breaks behind the
eternal hills, the mystic rod which rises from the venerable
root of Jesse; the stream which springs from Paradise; it is
the symbolical fleece which is stretched on our dry earth to
catch the miraculous dew. This is the new Eve, that is to
say, the life and the Mother of all the living, who is born today
tor i is to whom the first Eve became the mother of sin and
eath,

Sept. 8, St. Hadrian, Martyr: St. Hadrian was an officer in
the Roman army; from persecuting Christians he was so
moved by their constancy that he embraced the Faith and
suffered martyrdom toward the end of the Third Century.

SEPT 9. St. Gorgonius, Martyr: The body of this martyr
was interred in the cemetery on the Via Labicana, and Pope
Damasus adorned his tomb with the following inscription:
“This sepulchre hollowed out of the hill-side contains the
body of the martyr Gorgonius, who thus watches before the
altar of Christ. Whosoever comes to seek the tombs of the
saints in this place will find that other blessed ones rest here,
who were led to heaven by the same faith.”

SEPT. 10. St. Nicholas of Tolentino, Confessor: St. Nich-
olas of Tolentino, in central Italy, received his name because
he was born after his parents had made a pilgrimage to the
tomb of St. Nicholas of Bari. He is one of the glories of the
Hermits of St. Augustine. His life is remarkable because of
the great devotion which he showed to the mystery of the
Christ. He had impressed upon his body the stigmata of
Christ. He is represented holding a lily, because he was always
a model of innocence and purity. His feast dates from the
time of Sixtus V. .

Sert, 11. Sts. Protus and Hyacinth, Martyrs: These holy
martyrs, scourged and beheaded, during the persecutions of
the Third Century, were commemorated by Pope Damasus
with the following inscription: “The kingdom of heaven holds
thee, O Protus, and thither dost thou follow him, O valiant
Hyacinth, robed in the purple of thy blood. They were
brothers and were unconquered in spirit. Protus first won his
crown, but Hyacinth equally deserved the palm.”

Sept. 12. The Most Holy Name of Mary: This feast orig-
inally instituted by Innocent XI in memory of the great vic-
tory won over the Turks before the wails of Vienna (Septem-
ber 13, 1683), was fixed for this date under Pope Pius X.
Innocent XII had ordered that it should be kept on the Sunday
within the Octave of the Nativity of Our Lady.

‘Whatever interpretation of the name of Mary we may
accept, whether it means bitterness, the lady of the sea, or
beloved of God, it is still the name of our Mother in heaven,

the name which was first on the lips of the divine Child, the
name which after that of Jesus holds all our hope of salva-
tion. Many saints, especially St. Bernard and.St. Gabriele
dell’ Addolorata, recognize in the most sweet name of Mary
the virtues and prerogatives which the Doctors of the Church
find in the name of the Savior, such as light, strength, sweet-
ness and protection. Therefore the devout Christian desires
above all things to pronounce the holy names of Jesus and
Mary with his last breath before going forth to behold their
countenances.

Pius X granted great indulgences to those who should make
use of this pious invocation.

Serr. 14. The Exaltation of the Holy Cross: In ancient
times, under the name of “the Exaltation," the finding of the
Holy Cross was celebrated on September 14th in the West,
as is still done in the East. But when in the Eighth Century
the feast of May 3 was instituted, that of September 14th
was retained as one of thanksgiving for the recovery, a hun-
dred years earlier, by the Great Emperor Heraclius, of the
inestimable relic, from the infidel Chosroes, King of Persia,
who had possessed himself of the holy relic when pillaging the
city and churches of Jerusalem. In the East the finding of
the Holy Cross by Helena, the mother of Constantine, was
celebrated with great splendor. Particles of the true Cross,
were, in time, brought from Jerusalem to many other churches
in the East and in the West. These churches sought to
imitate the solemn ceremonies in use at Jerusalem in order to
do homage to the Holy Cross, the triumphant standard of our
salvation.

Serr. 15. The Seven Dolors of the Blessed Virgin Mary:
Popular devotion to the Sorrows of Our Blessed Lady, whom
Holy Church invokes as Queen of Martyrs, led, in the Middle
Ages, to the institution of several local festivals, such as that,
still kept in some places, of Our Lady's Compassion. 'The
devotion was fostered by the Holy Founders of the Servite
Order who seem to have been the first to distinguish and
enumerate the Seven Dolors. It has been raised by Pius X
to the rank of a double of the second class.

St. Nicomedes, Martyr: St. Nicomedes, a Roman
priest, was scourged to death in the persecution under Do-
mitian, in the life-time of St. John the Evangelist. He suf-
fered about the year 90,

Sept. 16. Sts. Cornelius and Cyprian, Bishops, Martyrs: St.
Cornelius succeeded St. Fabian as Pope in 251. He behaved
with zeal and piety in his pastoral charge and adhered to his
duty with courage and steadfastness. The holy Pope suf-
fered martyrdom, September 14, 252.

St. Cyprian, Archbishop of Carthage and Primate of Africa,
laid down his life for Christ, September 14, 258, six years
later, to the day, after his friend St. Cornelius. St. Cyprian
is one of the most famous of the earlier Fathers of the Church.

Secution continued by the successors of Diocletian, about the
year 307. The Council of Chalcedon was held in her sepul-
chral church. St. Lucy and St, Geminianus, two other mar-
tyrs who suffered in the same persecution, are commemorated
with St. Euphemia.

Sept. 17. The Impression of the Stigmata of St. Francis:
While St. Francis of Assisi, in September, 1224, was rapt in
meditation on Mount Alvernia, Almighty God as a mark of
His special favor deigned to impress on his hands, feet, and
side the likeness of the sacred wounds of Christ. Until the
day of the saint's death blood flowed from these wounds at
intervals. Pope Sixtus V ordered this feast to be observed
by the whole Church. Clement VIII suppressed it, because
the Church only dedicates special solemnities to the myster-
ies of our redemption; particular favors granted to the saints
by God directly concern their individual sanctification, and
are commemorated when the life of each saint is read in the
Breviary on the day of his feast. The feast was restored,
however, by Paul V, and raised to a rank of a double by
Clement XIV. Its observance is a privilege overstepping the
ordinary rules of the Liturgy, extended in honor of St. Francis
and not only rare, but also unique. Christ was pleased to
imprint upon his new apostle, the herald of the Great King,
this stigmata as His final seal, changing him to His own
image and likeness and uniting him to Himself on the rood
of the Cross,

Sept. 18. St. Joseph of Cupertino, Confessor: St. Joseph of
Cupertino, a Franciscan friar in Italy, was born June 17,
1603. "The feast of this glorious Son of the Seraph of Assisi
was made universal throughout the Church by a Pope of the
same Order, Clement XIV. He is famous for his evangelical
simplicity and for his ecstasies. The whole of the Mass
assigned to him brings out the mystical side of his sanctity.
He worked many miracles, and died a happy death at Orsino
on September 18, 1663, as he himself has predicted.

Sert. 19. St. Januarius and Companions, Martyrs: During
the persecution under Diocletian St. Januarius, patron of
the city of Naples and bishop of Beneventum, was beheaded
with his deacons and some others. In the great church at
Naples are preserved some of the blood of St. Januarius in
two glass phials, and also his head. The blood is congealed,
but every year up to the present it liquefies when placed near
the martyr’s head. This miracle has been verified both by
scientists and by many pious and learned persons. Cardinal
Schuster, now Archbishop of Milan, was able to observe it
closely and, like others who have studied it, was obliged to
confess that there seems to be no possible natural explanation
of this event. It may be that in this manner God is pleased
to show to the people of Naples that the blood of their great
Patron is still active and powerful in the sight, of the Lord,
oe be Sod there is no past, but all is present and living in
His sight.

Sept. 20. St. Eustace and Companions, Martyrs: St. Eusta-
chius, or Eustace, an officer of the Roman army under Em-

peror Trajan, was burned at the stake for the Faith, with his
wife and children, during the reign of Emperor Hadrian. We
pray to him to preserve us from fire, eternal or temporal. In
art he is depicted with a stag and hunting equipment.

Sept. 20. Vigil of St. Matthew, Apostle: In accordance with
her usual custom the Church appoints a vigil to the feast of
the holy apostle, Matthew. It has been kept in the Church
from ancient time and is mentioned in the Martyrology of St.
Jerome,

SEPT. 21. St. Matthew, Apostle, Evangelist: St. Matthew
was & Galilean by birth. In the Gospel he humbly relates
the story of his own conversion. To the glory of an apostle
he adds that of an evangelist. He wrote his Gospel in Aramaic,
and it was afterwards translated into Greek. The Aramaic
text has perished. This Gospel is a divinely inspired work
included in Sacred Scripture. He gives the line of ancestors
from whom Jesus descended as a man, and on this account is
represented by the animal with a human face in the sym-
bolical vision of Ezekiel. Little is known of his life; the
Fathers in general say that he died in Persia. St. Paulinus of
Nola asserts that he died amongst the Parthians. When his
remains were discovered at Velia and brought to the Cathe-
dral of Salerno, Pope Gregory VII began his journey there,
but mea on the way, and was buried near the tomb of St.

atthew.

Serr. 22. St. Thomas of Villanova, Bishop, Confessor: St.
Thomas of Villanova, Archbishop of Valencia, Spain, was a
Religious of the Order of St. Augustine. He was distinguished
by his perfect humility and his charity to the poor, to whom
he gave all he possessed. When he died the very bed on
which he lay no longer belonged to him. He had given it a
few days before to a poor man, who in his turn allowed him
to keep it for the short time that it would still be of use to
him. He died September 8, 1555.

St. Maurice and Companions, Martyrs: St. Maurice
was an offcer of the Theban legion, a body of about 6000 men.
These soldiers were Christians and loyal to their emperor and
to God. They refused to sacrifice to the heathen gods and
were put to the sword, in 286, by Maximian, the colleague of
Diocletian, unresistingly giving their lives for the Faith.

Sept. 23. St. Linus, Pope, Martyr: St. Linus, the immediate
Successor of St. Peter, ruled the Church for about twelve
years. In the year 79 he suffered martyrdom, and was buried
alongside the Prince of Apostles, His name is in the Canon
of the Mass.

St. Thecla, Virgin, Martyr: 'The virgin St. 'Thecla
was converted by St. Paul while preaching at Iconium. She
left a luxurious home and followed the apostle in his later
journeys. She suffered many tortures for the Faith but fin-
ally passed her life in solitude in Isauria, and there died a
holy death,

SEPT 24. Our Lady of Ransom: The Order of Our Lady of
Ransom was founded in the Thirteenth Century by St. Peter

http://ccwatershed.org

ACCOUNTS OF FEASTS AND LIVES OF SAINTS 1731

Nolasco (Jan. 31) and St. Raymond of Pennafort (Jan. 23),
aided by King James of Aragon. The object of the Order was
to redeem Christians held in slavery by the Mohammedans.
Pope Gregory IX instituted the feast of Our Lady of Ransom
and afterwards it was extended by Pope Innocent XII to the
Universal Church.

SzPr. 26. Sts. Cyprian and Justina, Martyrs: St. Cyprian
was converted to the Christian Faith by the holy virgin St.
Justine, and with her suffered martyrdom, They were both
beheaded in the year 304 at Nicomedia, the residence of Em-
peror Diocletian.

Devotion to Sts. Cyprian and Justina was introduced into
Rome during the Middle Ages, when tradition asserted that
their relics were preserved near the Lateran Basilica.

SEPT. 27. Sts, Cosmas and Damian, Martyrs: Sts. Cosmas
and Damian, twin brothers, distinguished themselves as

$ physicians. They gave their lives for the Faith at Cyrus in

Syria where they were buried. Besides using their skill for
the healing of diseases they sought to spread the Faith in
Christ. After many tortures they died about the year 285 in
the persecution under Diocletian. The fame of their miracles

1 spread over the whole world; many churches were erected in
3* their honor at Rome and elsewhere. Their names are men-

tioned in the Canon of ihe Mass and in the Litany of the
Saints.

SEPT. 28. St. Wenceslaus, Martyr: St. Wenceslaus, duke of
Bohemia, ruled that country during its period of conversion
to Christianity. His devotion to the Holy Eucharist is men-
tioned by St. Alphonsus in his book, Visits to ihe Blessed

» Sacrament.

Wenceslaus was in the habit of sowing and reaping with
his own hands the wheat from which the hosts were to be
made, and he used to rise in the night even during the coldest
seasons to visit the Blessed Sacrament. His virtue was the
cause of his death, for it aroused the antagonism of his evil-
minded mother and brother, who caused him to be assassin-
ated September 28, 938. .

Sept, 29. The Dedication of St. Michael the Archangel:
This is the original feast of the leader of the heavenly armies,
St. Michael. The captain of the heavenly armies, the angel
named in the Caon of the Mass, held from early times the
first place in the Liturgy among the other angels; wherefore
many churches dedicated to St. Michael in the Middle Ages
were simply known as churches “of the holy angel.” St.
Michael, whose name signifies “who is like unto God” cast the
evil spirit out of heaven, and overcame Satan in the struggle
for possession of the body of Moses. God has intrusted our
defense, in the combat with the devil, to the angels. The
reason of this is easily understood. The devil is a spirit who
has lost none of the powers inherent to his nature. In order,
therefore, that the struggle should not be unequal, God has
placed at our side defenders of the same nature as Lucifer,

that is to say pure spirits, who are, however, greater and more
powerful than he is.

SEPT, 30. St. Jerome, Confessor, Doctor of the Church: St.
Jerome was born in Dalmatia in 329. Even during his life he
Was renowned as a Doctor and Interpreter of Holy Scripture.
He defended Catholic teaching against many heresies; his
chief aim was to be a perfect monk and before he would con-
sent to be raised to the priesthood he exacted a promise from
Paulinus, Bishop of Antioch, that this new dignity should in
no wise interfere with his monastic vocation. To him we
owe the translation of the Holy Scriptures, the introduction
of the alleluiatic chant into the Sunday Mass, the spread of
monastic life among the aristocracy, and lastly the daily re-
cital of the Divine Office. After important services to the
Pope of his time, St. Jerome retired to Bethlehem, where he
died September 30, 420.

Feasts of October

Oc. 1. St. Remigius, Bishop, Confessor: St. Remigius, who
for seventy-four years was Bishop of Rheims, in France, con-
verted and baptized King Clovis, and thus brought Christianity
to the Franks. He was celebrated for his doctrine and for
his miraculous powers, as well as for his holiness. His hom-
ilies have been lost, but four of his letters are extant, as well
as some verses written by him and intended to be engraved
on a uode, and also his last testament. He died on January
13, 533.

Ocr. 2. Feast of the Holy Guardian Angels: In the prayer
for the feast of St. Michael (September 29) we ask that the
Holy Angels may fulfill the special office entrusted to them of
watching faithfully over us upon earth. This feast included
together with St. Michael the whole of the heavenly court.
A distinct feast of the Guardian Angels originated only at a
later date. The Spaniards observed it in the Sixteenth Cen-
tury and Paul V (September 27, 1608) declared the feast of the
Guardian Angels, a feast of the whole Church, and ordered
that it should be kept on the first vacant date after the feast
of St. Michael. Clement X (1670) assigned it to October 2nd,
Leo XIII raised it to the rank of a greater double.

The guardianship of the faithful is given by God into the
hands of tne angels, not only for the sake of the unity and
harmony which bind together the orders of creation, but also
on account of the duty owed by the angels to Christ. It is
from Christ that they receive their glory, therefore out of
gratitude to Him who is caput hominum et angelorum (the

ead of men and angels) these blessed spirits watch over the
Church, the chosen Bride of the Savior, and over the faithful
who are the members of His Mystical Body.

Oc. 3. St. Teresa of the Child Jesus (Little Flower): Mary
Frances Teresa Martin was born of saintly parents at Alen-
con (Orne) on January 2, 1873. She was educated by the
Benedictine Nuns at Lisieux. After her ninth year she tried to
enter the Carmelites, and put her case before the Bishop of

ACCOUNTS OF FEASTS AND LIVES OF SAINTS 1733

Bayeux and Pope Leo XIII, whom she visited. At the age
of fifteen she was allowed to enter the Carmel at Lisieux
(April 9, 1888). She died at the age of twenty-four. There
was nothing extraordinary about her religious life; she was
perfect in her simplicity, humility, charity, her love of God and
her trust in Him. She offered herself as a victim to the “mer-
ciful love of the good God." She was just a little child in the
arms of Jesus. Her way of sanctity was a little way; Pius XI
said: “we wish that St, Teresa’s secret of sanctity should be
made known to every one of our children. We have set her
before the children of the Church as a striking and most
precious example.” Countless miracles have been wrought
through her intercession. On her death bed she said: “I do
not intend to remain idle in heaven. My longing is to labor
even there for the Church and souls. Our Lord will work won-
ders for me that will infinitely surpass my boundless desire
After my death I shall let fall a shower of roses, She was
canonized May 17, 1925.

Oct. 4. St. Francis of Assisi, Confessor: St. Francis of Assisi,
born in 1182, was the founder of the Order of Friars Minor.
Chosen by God to be a living manifestation to the world of
Christ’s poor and suffering life on earth, he was early inspired
with a burning love of poverty and humiliation. Divine desire
burned in him so mightily as to kindle a like desire in other
hearts. Many joined him, and were constituted by Pope
Innocent III into a Religious Order.

He lived at.the time when the feudal system was disap-
pearing, and Christian democracy was dawning. St. Francis
undertook to teach to this generation a spiritual language
suited to its new aspirations. He led the people to devotion
towards the sacred humanity and the person of the Redeemer,
& devotion which has continued to increase. He set the
example for clergy and people of detachment from worldly
wealth and worldly honors. His reform was carried out not
by rebellion, but in accord with the head of the Church. It
was the papal authority, which from the first directed that
overwhelming current of new life and evangelical mysticism
loosed by the saint, and incorporated it in the service of the
Church. ;

Francis died at sunset on Saturday, October 3, 1226, at
Assisi, his birthplace. Gregory IX, his friend and director
during life, raised him to the altars three years later, and
built the Marvelous church of Assisi over his tomb.

Ocr. 5. St. Placidus and Companions, Martyrs: St. Placidus,
together With St. Maurus were committed to the care of St.
Benedict, When both were very young. Their parents were
friendly to the holy patriarch, who like them belonged to the
nobility. St. Benedict had great love for these two early
companions, On one occasion while drawing water from the
Jake of Subiaco, as St. Gregory relates, Placidus fell in and
the waves carried him far from the shore. At the command
of Benedict, Maurus hastened to the rescue and only after
he had safely brought the young Placidus to the shore did he
note that he had walked upon the waters. Little jis known

of the life of St. Placidus. Since the Tenth Century he has
been venerated as a saint in the Benedictine Order,

Ocr. 6. St. Bruno, Confessor: St. Bruno of Cologne, after
brilliant studies at Paris, was made a canon of Rheims cathe-
dral. Feeling himself.called to a life of retirement and pen-
ance he betook himself with six companions to a solitude
called the Chartreuse and there laid the foundations of the
Carthusian Order. In the end he left Chartreuse for a most
desolate place where he passed the rest of his life in a cave.
He died October 6, 1101.

Ocr. 7. The Most Holy Rosary of the Blessed Virgin Mary:
October 7 is the anniversary of the glorious victory won in
1571 by the Christian forces over the Turkish fleet at Lepanto.
This triumph of the Cross over the Crescent was universally
attributed to the powerful intercession of the Mother of God,
whom Pope Pius V fervently invoked with her Rosary in
his hand, and to whom the prayers of all Christendom were
addressed. Two years after this great favor had been obtained,
Gregory XIII instituted an annual feast of thanksgiving to
be celebrated on the First Sunday of October in all churehes
where an altar in honor of the Blessed Virgin of the Rosary
had been erected. From being a local festival this celebra-
tion gradually spread and became general, until Leo XIII
raised it to the rank of a double of the second class for the
whole Church.

The devotion of the Rosary of the Blessed Virgin Mary
dates at least from the Twelfth Century. The glory of having
spread this form of prayer with such extraordinary success
is certainly due to the Dominican Order, and, owing to their
zeal, the Rosary soon became the most popular devotion
throughout the Christian world.

The Holy Rosary as it is now recited, and enriched with
great indulgences, represents, after the Divine Office, what
may be described as a popular Breviary of the Gospel. By
meditating on the appropriate mysteries, it may be adapted to
the Liturgical Cycle, and because it unites vocal with mental
prayer the Rosary is regarded as the most beautiful and
approved devotion of the Latin Church.

St. Mark, Pope, Confessor: St. Mark, a Roman
priest, was the right hand of Pope St. Sylvester, during the
latter’s pontificate, and finally succeeded him. St. Mark’s
term as Pope lasted only eight months, for he was called to
his eternal reward in the year 336. Pope Damasus records
of him that his life was blameless and full of love of God. He
cared little for honors and despised earthly things, for his
inmost heart was attached to virtue alone. He was the
champion of justice and a perfect lover of Christ.

Sts. Sergius, Bacchus, Marcellus, and Apuleius,
Martyrs: Sts. Sergius and Bacchus were at one time officers
in the imperial army. After many tortures they were put
to death for being Christians. The date of their martyrdom,
which took place in the Third Century, is uncertain. Together
with them are honored two Roman martyrs, Marcellus and
Apuleius, probably their contemporaries.

Ocr. 8. St. Bridget, Widow: St. Bridget (or Birgitta) of
Sweden, on the death of Prince Ulfo, her husband, embraced
a life of prayer and penance. Favored by Almighty God with
wonderful visions and revelations, she founded the Religious
Order of the Most Holy Savior. With her daughter St. Cath-
erine, she Made numerous pilgrimages to various sanctuaries
in Italy and in Palestine. The secrets of heaven were mani-
fested to her in many revelations which are referred to in
the Collect of the Mass. She exerted her influence in the
cause of the Church’s reform in the courts, episcopal palaces,
the abbeys and even at the Holy See. She died at Rome, July
2, 1373. Her relics were brought back to Sweden by her
gaughter a year later. She was canonized by Boniface IX,

1.

Ocr. 9, Sts. Dionysius, Rusticus and Eleutherius, Martyrs:
Ever since the Seventh Century Rusticus and Eleutherius have
been associated with St. Dionysius (or Denis). The veneration
of St. Dionysius at Paris goes back to an earlier period. St.
Qregory of Tours frequently mentions the Basilica of St.
Denis built at the suggestion of St. Genevieve. The saint
martyred at Paris is to be distinguished from the Areopagite
converted by St. Paul, whose veneration has ever been famous
among the Greeks, and from the pseudo-Dionysius, a Syrian of
the Fifth or Sixth century.

Ocr. 10. St. Francis Borgia, Confessor: St. Francis Borgia,
one of the most honored nobles of Spain, cut himself off from
the chance of dignity or preferment, and entered the Society
of Jesus, of which later he became the General. Conspicuous
Jor TA holiness of his life, he ended his days in Rome, October

Oct. 11. The Maternity of the Blessed Virgin Mary: In the
first ages of the Church the day sacred to our Blessed Lady,
under her great title of Mother of God, was January 1. Evi-
dent traces of this devotion remain in the liturgy proper to the
feast of the Circumcision, which is now kept on that day.
Many churches having petitioned for a special festival in
honor of Our Lady's divine maternity, a day, usually in the
month of October, was granted by the Holy See for its cele-
bration. By a decree of the Sacred Congregation of Rites,
April 24, 1914, the eleventh of October was assigned. Pius
IX raised it to a double of the second class and extended it to
the Universal Church.

All Catholics believe that Mary is the Mother of God, This
does not mean that she is not a creature of God, nor that God
did not exist before she was created. It means that He who
was her Son was & Divine Person. In Christ there are two
natures: the nature of God and the nature of man; but in
Him there is only one Person, à Divine Person, the Second
Person of the Blessed Trinity. Hence all that may be pre-
dicated of either nature may with propriety be said of the
Savior in the concrete form, without distinguishing the two
natures, So we may say that God was born of the Blessed
Virgin Mary. We then refer to the Person of the Son of God,

http://ccwatershed.org

Who is both God and Man. Christ, Who is God, was born
according to His human nature of the Blessed Virgin. She
is, therefore, truly the Mother of God,

Ocr. 13. St. Edward, King, Confessor: St, Edward, called
the Confessor, the last but one of the Anglo-Saxon kings of
England, reigned holily and happily for twenty-four years. On
the throne he rivalled the saints by his untiring practice of
austere virtue; his reign was one of almost unbroken peace;
the country grew prosperous, ruined churches rose under his
hand, the weak lived secure, and for long ages after, man
spoke of the laws of “good King Edward.” He died January
5, 1066, The Saint’s body reposes in the shrine in Westminster
Abbey, behind what used to be the High Altar.

Oct. 14. St. Callistus, Pope, Martyr: Pope St. Callistus suc-
ceeded St. Zephyrinus. The institution of the ember-day
fasts is ascribed to him. He suffered martyrdom under Em-
peror Alexander Severus, October 14, 223. He was a staunch
defender of the unity of the Divine Essence. He offered abso-
lution to even the greatest sinner who should have performed
the canonical penances.

Oc1. 15. St. Teresa, Virgin: St. Teresa, the foundress of the
Discalced Carmelites, was born at Avila in Spain, 1515. She
was called to reform her Order, favored with distinct com-
mands from Our Lord, and her heart was pierced with divine
love; but dreading delusion she acted only under obedience to
her confessors, which made her strong and safe. Her heavenly
Spouse called her to Himself, October 4, 1582. By the altera-
tion of the calendar, then taking place, the next day was
reckoned the fifteenth of the month, and in due course was
assigned for the keeping of the feast. In the Collect we have
the only example in the whole of Liturgy of a reference to a
woman entrusted with the office of teaching and feeding the
faithful.

Ocr. 16. St. Hedwig, Widow: St. Hedwig, of royal origin, on
the death of her husband, Duke Henry of Poland, retired
into a Cistercian monastery, where she lived under obedience
to one of her daughters, who was abbess of the monastery,
growing day by day in holiness till Almighty God called
her to Himself, October 14, 1243. St. Hedwig fasted and
prayed and took the discipline; she heard several Masses daily
and distributed alms with great generosity, She was canon-
ized twenty years later by Pope Clement IV.

Ocr. 17. St. Margaret Mary Alacoque, Virgin: Margaret
Mary Alacoque was born at Verosvres in the diocese of Autun
in 1647. When only three years old she already had the great-
est fear of the smallest sin. Indeed, the very word "sin"
frightened her exceedingly. And before she was quite four
years of age, without anyone suggesting them to her, she
clearly pronounced the words, *O my God, I consecrate my
purity to Thee, for my whole life: I vow to Thee perpetual
chastity.” Even as a mere tot she loved Jesus and Mary above
ali things; and as soon as she had learned to say the rosary,
She recited it every day. Some time after she had made her

First Holy Communion, God sent her a grievous sickness that
lasted four years. Then Margaret had recourse to Our Lady.
She promised that if that dear Mother would cure her she
Would become a Sister. Scarcely had she uttered the words,
when she was cured. After some hesitation she entered the
Order of the Visitation of Paray-le-Monial at the age of
iwenty-three. The Sacred Heart of Jesus manifested itself to
her several times; through her He willed to make this devotion
known to the world. She died October 7, 1690. She was canon-
ized by Pope Benedict XV on Ascension Thursday, May 13,
1920. Pius XI extended her feast to the whole Church on
June 28, 1929.

Ocr. 18. St. Luke the Evangelist: St. Luke, a native of
Antioch, was converted by St. Paul, and accompanied him on
many of his journeys. St. Luke is best known as the historian
of the New Testament. He gathered information from the
lips of the apostles and wrote, as he tells, all things in order.
The Acts of the Apostles were written as a sequel to his Gospel.
He died the death of a martyr, anc was buried at Thebes in
Beotia. His relics were brought to Constantinople in 357.

Oct. 19. St. Peter of Alcantara, Confessor: Peter Caravito,
or Peter of Alcantara, as he is called from the city of his birth,
died on October 18, 1562, and his feast was introduced into the
Missal by Clement X. This saint is distinguished by three
characteristics. The first is the incredible.severity of. the
mortification by which, like St. Paul, he sought to fill up that
which was wanting in the Passion of Christ, for the good of
the Church. The spirit of the Franciscan Reform, initiated
in the new so-called province of St. Joseph by his endeavors, is
one of great penance and extreme poverty.

The second characteristic of St. Peter of Alcantara is the
abundance of mystical gifts and the grace of sublime contem-
plation received by him in reward for his austerities.

. Thirdly, St. Peter is distinguished by the active part he
took in the reform of the Carmelite Order initiated by St.
Teresa. He was the first to examine and approve of the spirit
of this reform.

.St. Teresa, for her part, declared that she had never asked
anything of the Lord through the merits of Brother Peter
which she had not obtained.

Ocr. 20. St. John Cantius, Confessor: St. John was born at
Kenty in the diocese of Cracow. He was a parish priest and
missionary, but, above all, he is remarkable for having ful-
filled during many years the duties of a professor at the Uni-
versity of Cracow. There may be many who hold that the
position of a teacher at a university, who is apt to be enam-
oured of his own learning, is scarcely suited to the practice of
Christian perfection. John of Kenty has-dispelled this ilu-
sion, and has proved that the example of a holy life lends
authority to a master’s teaching far more than would self-
sufficiency. He was marked during his life-time by a great
generosity towards the poor, and, after his death, God dis-
tinguished him by a number of miracles. He died on Christ-

mas Eve, 1473, and was canonized by Pope Clement XIII in
1767. He is invoked in cases of ulcers, fever, and consump-
tion; he is one of the patrons of Poland.

Ocr. 21. St. Hilarion, Abbot: St. Hilarion, a Palestinian sol-
itary, passed a life of self-denial and mortification in the
wildernesses of Egypt and the Holy Land. His biography was
written by St. Jerome. His last words were: “Go forth, O
my soul, what do you fear? You have served Christ for seventy
years, do you now fear death?” In the East he was the first
to be venerated as a saint other than a martyr. He died at
the age of eighty in 371.

Sts. Ursula.and Companions, Virgin-Martyrs: St.
Ursula, a native of England, sought an asylum in Gaul, when
her country was harassed by the Saxons. She found an abid-
ing-place in Germany but was set upon by a horde of Huns,
and with her companions gave her life in the year 453 in de-
fense of her faith and chastity. 5

Oct. 24. St. Raphael, Archangel: In the Book of Tobias, in
the Old Testament, we read of the ministry of the holy arch-
angel St. Raphael, protector and guardian of the sick. 'The
Eastern Churches observed a feast in his honor since the year
1000. It is now universally celebrated throughout the Church.
His name signifies “The healing of God"; he is one of the
seven blessed spirits who always stand before the throne of
God. He isidentified by many Fathers of the Church with the
angel ne stirred the Pool of Bethsaida as related in the
Gospel.

Oct. 25. Sts. Chrysanthus and Daria, Martyrs: St. Chrys-
anthus came with his wife St. Daria from the East to Rome,
some time in the Third Century. They were accused of being
Christians, and after suffering many torments their lives were
closed by a glorious martyrdom in one of the persecutions,
probably in that of Valerian, about the year 237. Of them the
Byzantine Liturgy says: “Chrysanthus and Daria live in
heaven, though they are dead, having been buried alive in one
grave. The inseparable pair were entombed on March 19."

Ocr. 26. St. Evaristus, Pope, Martyr: Pope St. Evaristus, who
succeeded St. Anacletus as Pope, governed the Church during
nine years. He divided the various ecclesiastical regions of
Rome among the titular presbyters and ordered that seven
deacons should surround the Pope when he preached. He was
put to death for the Faith in the year 112.

Ocr. 27. Vigil of the Apostles Sts. Simon and Jude: Antici-
pation is & sign of solicitude and zeal, and therefore the
Church, because she is full of love, anticipates the liturgical
Solemnities in her prayers. A typical example of this zeal is
found in the lives of some of the early saints like St. Nicholas
of Myra and the Patriarch St. Benedict, of whom we are told
that in their prayer they even anticipated the liturgical night
vigils. The vigil of Sts. Simon and Jude, Apostles, is men-
tioned in the Martyrology of St. Jerome.

Ocr. 28. The Holy Apostles Simon and Jude: St. Simon was
a Chananean, and was known among the apostles as “the
Zealot.” Before Christ called him to be an aposile, Simon
belonged to the patriotic party known as Zealots, who, im-
patient of foreign rule, prepared for a war of independence.
This circumstance was not forgotten, and even after he had
become a disciple of the Lord, he was still known by the
appellation of the Zealot. He suffered martyrdom in Persia,
according to tradition.

St. Jude is the brother of James the Less, first bishop of
Jerusalem, and therefore a cousin of Our Savior. The New
Testament includes a short letter written by St. Jude, who is
daily commemorated in the Roman Canon of the Mass under
the name of Thaddeus. It is believed that the relics of these
two apostles are in St. Peter’s in Rome. Tradition says that
he preached in Mesopotamia, where he died for the Faith. He
is the patron of difficult cases. `

Oct. 31. The Vigil of All Saints: The preparing by a solemn
vigil for the celebration of All Saints’ Day, probably dates
from the Eighth Century, when November 1 was fixed for the
celebration of the feast. The fast on this vigil is of universal
observance. As on other vigils Holy Mass is celebrated in
purple vestments, and the liturgy throughout is of a peniten-
tial character.

Last Sunday in October. Feast of Our Lord Jesus Christ,
King, This feast was instituted by Pope Pius XI at the
close of the Holy Year, 1925. The purpose of the Holy Father
was to bring home to all mankind the fact that Christ is King
not merely over individuals, but over families and societies,
over states and nations, over rulers and tribunals as well The
duty of Catholics is to hasten the return of the world to His
authority by their prayers, their influence and their actions.
They are réminded that they must courageously fight under
His royal banner, with the weapons of the spirit, for the rights
of God and of His Church.

The last Sunday of October was chosen for the feast, the
Sunday preceding All Saints, because during this month the
liturgical year draws to its close and thus the mysteries of
Jesus Christ are fittingly completed and crowned by the
liturgical festival of Christ, the King. On the same day also
will annually take place the consecration of mankind to the
Sacred Heart of Jesus.

Christ is proclaimed King of all mankind both in the Old
and the New Testament. David, Isaias, Daniel and Zacharias
in pleinest terms predicted the kingship or the kingdom of the
future Messias. At the coming of Christ the Angel Gabriel
announced that “of His Kingdom there shall be no end." The
Savior Himself declared His kingship before Pilate. But His
kingdom, though in this world, was not to be of this world.
As man He is Lord over all kings and over all human posses-
sions; Yet He is ^King of kings and Lord of lords," and on
the last day He will present Himself together with His king-
dom to His Father, when all His enemies shall have been put
under His feet.

Devotion to Christ as King is not new, but the Church has
given to it a great liturgical solemnity in the present feast,

Feasts of Movember

Nov. 1. The Feast of All Saints: The custom of keeping holy
one day in the year as the festival of all God's saints, whether
commemorated in the Liturgy or not, dates back to at least
the beginning of the Fifth Century. In ancient times it was
usually called the feast of All Holy Martyrs. The day of its
celebration varied; and in the East, even now, All Saints is
in most places a movable feast. Pope St. Boniface IV, when
dedicating the Roman Pantheon as the Church of Our Blessed
Lady and All Holy Martyrs, appointed November 1 for the
chief annual festival in the sacred building. Gregory III built
an oratory at St. Peter’s in honor of all the saints, confessors
as well as martyrs, who had died in all parts of the world.
Gregory IV chose November 1 as the Feast of All Saints. The
Octave was added by Sixtus IV.

Nov. 2. The Commemoration of All the Faithful Departed:
Should November 2 fall on Sunday, the commemoration of
All Souls is transferred to the following Monday. Pope Ben-
edict XV granted priests permission to offer three Masses on
all Souls’ Day. One of these Masses the celebrant may say
according to his own intention; one must be offered for all the
faitntul departed and the third for the intention of the Holy

ather.

The Church with her usual sublime economy preserved all
that was innocent, tender and inspired in the funeral rites of
classic antiquity. She purified and spiritualized them, hand-
ing them on to the new generations of the Middle Ages trans-
figured by a new thought which gave a sense òf joy and life
to the Liturgy of the departed, the thought that, they would
rise once more like the risen Redeemer.

"Therefore all that was dismal or frightening disappeared.
There were no more emblems of death, skulls or cross-bones
traced upon the draperies; all spoke instead of peace’ and
serene hope. .

The ancient Roman cemeteries, then, were not merely
graveyards, they were country houses with baths and gardens
adjoining them, where even the Popes themselves often resided.

The memento of the dead in the Mass is common to all
Liturgles since the Third Century. In the Eighth Century
we find among the customs of the monastery of Fulda that of
celebrating each month a commemoration of the faithful de-
parted. With a special Office and special prayers. To pass
from a monthly celebration to an annual one was easy, and
thus we find that towards the Tenth Century, especially in
Benedictine monasteries, the custom prevailed of commem-
orating every year the benefactors and friends of the house
who had been taken from this world. St. Odilo, Abbot of
Cluny, is generally recognized as having been responsible for
the universal adoption of this custom, already in use in many
churches (998).

Nov. 3. Of the Octave of Alf Saints: The Mass is as on the
feast, with the additional prayer of the Holy Ghost, and either
that for the Church or that for the Pope.

Nov. 4. St, Charles Borromeo, Bishop, Confessor: About
fifty years after the Protestant heresy began, Our Lord raised
up a mere youth to renew the face of His Church. The life-
Work of St. Charles may be divided into two periods, first, the
activities he discharged beside his uncle Pius IV which em-
braced not only Rome but the Universal Church. Secondly,
the pastoral office which he filled at Milan, as the Bishop and
Apostle of that diocese. He may be said to have directed from
Rome the last phase of the Council of Trent.

-The zeal displayed by St. Charles in fulfilling his pastoral
duties is almost incredible. His field of action as Archbishop
of Milan and Legate of the Holy See was very extensive. Yet
ihere was no deserted Alpine village which was not included
in his pastoral visitation. His biographers tell us that in
three weeks he consecrated no less than fifteen churches. He
established à seminary, whose rules have been the basis of
erred regulations since that time. He died November

Sts. Vitalis and Agricola, Martyrs: St. Vitalis, the
Servant of St. Agricola, by his courage in bearing the most
atrocious tortures for the Faith, encouraged his master to die
bravely with him for Christ. They suffered at Bologna in
Italy about the year 300.

Nov. 5, 6, 7. Of the Octave of All Saints: The Mass is as on
the feast, with the additional prayer of the Holy Ghost, and
either that for the Church or that for the Pope.

Nov. 8. The Octave-day of All Saints: That this Octave
dates only from the time of the Renaissance can be deduced
from the fact that there is no special Mass for it in the Missal,
and that the Roman Sacramentaries only mark to-day as the
feast of the Crowned Saints. It is well to repeat, on account of
the modern tendency to multiply octaves, that originally the
celebration of the Octave was a characteristic of the Paschal
solemnity.

The Holy Four Crowned Martyrs: In the persecution
under Diocletian, Sts. Severus, Severianus, Carpophorus, and
Victorinus, four brothers, were cruelly tortured until they
expired in the hands of their tormentors. They were at first
known simply as four Christians who had won the crown of
martyrdom and continued to be so styled even after their
names were learned.

Nov. 9. Dedication of the Basilica of Our Saviour: As the
anniversary of the dedication of a cathedral is kept as a
solemn festival in all the churches of a diocese, so the dedica-
tion of the Church of St. John Lateran, the cathedral of the
Supreme Pontiff, is everywhere celebrated. The first mention
of the Lateran in ecclesiastical history is that of Optatus of
Milevis who relates that a Council against the Donatists wag

held within its walls. About this time Constantine gave to
the Church of Rome the ancient Palace of the Laterani, part of
the dowry of his wife, Fausta.

From that time onwards the Lateran became the ordinary
residence of the Popes, and may be regarded as a memorial
of that long series of holy Pontiffs who inhabited it during the
course of nearly ten centuries. Those walls, now nearly two
thousand years old, have seen many important events in his-
tory and have figured in poetry and in art, whilst they sheltered
a dynasty of Pontiffs who ruled longer than any dynasty of
kings. Here, at the suggestion of Pope Sylvester, Constantine
the Great transformed or constructed the first basilica dedi-
cated to the Saviour at Rome. In the Twelfth Century, on
account of the baptistery, it was dedicated to St. John the
Baptist and began to be called St. John Lateran. In the
early Middle Ages the Pope officiated, not at one church only,
but in all the basilicas and titles within and without the city.
On great solemnities and for ordinations and coronations, he
officiated at St. Peter’s. When the observance of the stations
declined, the Lateran was ranked as the Papal residence, and
the basilica was looked upon as a cathedral with regard to the
other titular churches of the city.

As papal cathedral and mother of all the churches, the
Basilica of the Saviour has been clothed with the dignity of a
symbol of the Pontifical authority in the eyes of the Catholic
world. The Liturgy has also concentrated in her ritual this
belief held by the household of the faith, and Pius X raised
the feast which we celebrate to-day to the same rank of a
double of the second class for the entire Latin Church, as is
held by the great feasts of the religious year.

In this basilica and the Latern Palace five ecumenical coun-
cils were held, besides twenty synods. The basilica, after its
destruction, was rebuilt by Benedict XIII and consecrated on
November 9, 1726. Since that time the feast has been kept in
the Universal Church,

The dedication of a church is an important liturgical event.
It is not the same thing to pray in private, or to pray in the
sacred sanctuary and to take part in the rites of Catholic
Liturgy. By reason of its consecration the Church is the
throne of God’s mercy, the place chosen by Him, and where
He chiefly condescends to work our salvation. Here we know
He listens to our prayers; here Jesus is pleased to receive
from the assembly of believers that solemn, public, and united
adoration which is due to Him.

St. Theodore, Martyr: St. Theodore was a soldier
martyr, and suffered death at Amasea in Asia Minor in 306.
After being tortured by having his flesh torn by iron hooks,
he was burned. During his martyrdom he sang the verse of
the Psalm: “I will bless the Lord at all times.” At an early
date a round church was built in his honor at Rome; pious
‘women still carry their sick children thither in order to invoke
the help of the great martyr.

Nov. 10. St. Andrew Avellino, Confessor: This celebrated
Neapolitan missionary, because he was very handsome, had to

resist various attempts at seduction, He became a priest
and practiced Canon Law; having uttered a slight untruth in
court he read a short time afterwards: “The mouth that
utters untruth kills the soul" He was so moved by this
Scripture that he renounced his career and entered, at the age
of thirty-six, the Theatines, receiving the name of Andrew.
He was at one time spiritual director of the seminary of
Piacenza, where he is still venerated. His patronage is in-
voked by the faithful against apoplectic seizures and sudden
death. He died of an attack of apoplexy as he was standing
at the foot of the altar, repeating the words, Introibo ad
altare Dei (1590).

Sts. Tryphon, Respicius, and Nympha, Martyrs:
St. Tryphon and St. Respicius, his convert, after most cruel
torments, were brutally scourged and then beheaded under
Decius, in 252. St. Nympha, a virgin of Palermo, in Sicily, is
honored on the same day, but the date of her martyrdom is
uncertain,

Nov. 11. St. Martin, Bishop, Confessor: At a time when
liturgical honors were reserved almost exclusively to martyrs
only, the Apostle of Gaul was the object, at a very early period,
of the veneration afterwards extended to all Confessors. St.
Martin died at Candes towards the end of the year 396 or the
beginning of 397, after a life marked by many miracles, and by
the apostolic zeal in which he labored to root out paganism
in his diocese and to establish in it the ideals of the monastic
life. His asceticism and his simple habits did not find favor
with his brother bishops, or even with his own clergy whilst
he lived, but in 397, immediately after his death, his biog-
raphy, written by Sulpicius Severus, entirely rehabilitated his
memory. This little book became a kind of gospel of the
monastic life.

Martin was born in Sabaria (now in Hungary); his father,
a Roman general, brought him up as a pagan and destined him
for the life of a soldier. He was drawn to Christianity, despite
his pagan surroundings. One day, having no money, he gave
half his cloak to a poor beggar; that night he saw Our Lord
in a vision wrapped in ope-half of his cloak and surrounded by
choirs of angels to whom He said: “Martin, yet a catechumen,
hath clothed Me with this garment.” His biographer says:
“He never thought unkindly of another, and never returned
evil for evil" His shrine was as much visited during the
Middle Ages as Lourdes is now. ‘Thousands of churches have
been dedicated to him. St. Benedict dedicated the first
church of his Order on Monte Cassino to his honor and desired
to yield up his soul before the altar of St. Martin.

St. Mennas, Martyr: St. Mennas, an Egyptian, a
soldier in the Roman army, was beheaded in Phrygia, a
province of Asia Minor, in 304, for refusing to renounce his
faith in Christ. At one time his fame eclipsed that of St.
Martin at Rome. Many miracles occurred at his tomb; me-
mentos, little phials made of earthenware, with the image of
the saint between two kneeling camels and the inscription “the

in Europe. After the Eighth Century popular devotion to

him declined.

Nov. 12. St. Martin, Pope, Martyr: Pope St. Martin I suffered.

greatly in defence of the Faith. By his zeal and energy he
incurred the hatred of the Monothelites, heretics who denied
that Christ had any human will So great was their influ-
ence that, after the plot to murder the Pope was frustrated by
Divine Providence, the holy man was dragged to prison. From
there he was banished to the Crimea, where he died in 655.
Although a Roman Pontiff, his feast is kept in the Greek
Orthodox Church and in their Liturgy he is saluted as “The
infallible and holy exponent of the divine dogmas.” His
body was brought to Rome and buried in the Church of St.
Sylvester.

Nov. 13. St. Didacus, Confessor: St. Didacus, born in Spain,
was a holy lay-brother of the Order of St. Francis. He led a

life perfect in the observance of the vows of poverty, chastity,.

and obedience. He died in the odor of sanctity in 1463; and
Was canonized a hundred years later by St. Pius V.

Nov. 14. St. Josaphat, Bishop, Martyr: St. Josaphat was a
monk of the Order of St. Basil, and afterward Archbishop of
Polotsk, in Poland. His labors for the union of the Ruthenian
Church with that of Rome are almost incredible. After a
youth of singular innocence mortified by voluntary penance,
Josaphat, remembering the powerful support lent to the or-

thodox cause by the monsstic orders, entered religion, and.

with the help of Velamin Rutski, devoted himself to the re-
storation of the rule of St. Basil.
As Superior of & monastery the saint had succeeded in keep-

ing his disciples free from any schismatic taint: so, too, as.

metropolitan he devoted himself to the conquest of error with
ardent and enlightened charity. He gave to all the example

of a holy life, and labored for souls by preaching, by teaching

the catechism, and by the distribution of controversial works.

As a result of his zeal many schismatics were reconciled to.

the Catholie Church. His opponents at last resolved to take
his life, and he suffered martyrdom at their hands with great
courage and serenity at the age of forty-three years.

In 1642, Urban VIII placed his name in the ranks of the
Blessed, and Pius IX, on June 29, 1867, on the occasion of the
centenary of the Princes of the Apostles, canonized the zealous
champion of the Primacy of the Roman Church. The Ruth-
enians celebrate his feast on September 16.

Nov. 15. St. Albert the Great, Bishop, Confessor and Doctor:

of the Church: St. Albert, philosopher, theologian, scientist,

and most learned man of his time, was born about 1206 and.

died at Cologne in 1280. He entered the Order of Preachers

and had as a pupil St. Thomas Aquinas. His scientific activity:
embraced: astronomy, cosmography, meteorology, climatology,.

physics, mechanics, architecture, zoology, botany, agriculture,

navigation and the textile arts, and, besides, he compiled an.

encyclopedia of the learning of his day. In 1260 he was con-

Nov. 18. St. Gertrude, Virgin, Abbess: St. Gértrude was born
in Eisleben in Upper Saxony, 1256. At the age of five she
Was &n oblate in the Benedictine Convent at Rodalsdorf, over
which convent she ruled for forty years as Abbess. The Roman
Breviary states that she died in 1334 “consumed rather by
the ardor of her love than by disease.” At the age of twenty-
five she was favored with celestial visions, and towards the
end of her life she received the stigmata. At God’s command
she recorded her revelations in her wonderful book called
Communications and Sentiments of Love. The mission of
this celebrated Benedictine nun in the Thirteenth Century
was very similar to that of Margaret Mary Alacoque, which
indeed she recognized ‘and foretold in a prophetic showing.
Her mystical life was lived in the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus;
she is pictured with a flaming heart in her hand. When she
spoke of Christ and the mysteries of His adorable life, her
words were sweeter than honey and the honey-comb; her
spirit was ever serene and radiant. Jesus revealed to her His
Heart as a mystery of grace and love, rather than as.an abyss
of sorrow. She was not called to the special vocation of victim
for the sins of the world as was St. Margaret Mary Alacoque.

A member of an order which for more than seven centuries
had been the heir of patristic tradition and in which the
Liturgy was almost exclusively the source of spiritual life,
Gertrude conceived devotion to the Sacred Heart not as a
separate devotion, but as a deeper intelligence of the great
all-embracing mystery of Christ living again in the Church
by means of the Catholic Liturgy.

On one occasion while listening to the beating of the Heart
of Jesus, she asked St. John the Evangelist why he had not
made known in his Gospel the treasures of light and mercy
revealed to him during his mystic repose on the Saviour's
Heart at the Last Supper. John replied that this new and
touching revelation would be made later when the world had
reached the depths of malice, and that in order to rescue it
God would employ the last resources of His invincible love.

Nov. 17. St. Gregory Thaumaturgus, Bishop, Confessor:
Gregory was born at Neocesarea in Pontus about the year
213, and in his early youth was a disciple of Origen, whom he
praised in an enthusiastic panegyric. Having been made
bishop of his native city, he converted it from idolatry to the
true Faith, working a number of miracles, on account of which
he received the title of wonder worker. He died during the
reign of.Aurelian between 270 and 275, end the whole of
Pontus, according to St. Basil, venerated his memory with the
greatest devotion as that of a teacher of the Faith.

Nov. 18. The Dedication of the Basilicas of St. Peter and
St. Paul; The two basilicas of the apostles were held in great
veneration from the earliest times. The priest Caius, declared

against the heretics: “I can show you the trophies of the
Apostles; for if you will go to the Vatican on the Ostian Way
you will find the trophies of those who founded this Church.”
Acceding to the request of Pope Sylvester, Constaritine under-
took to make the sanctuaries at the tombs of these apostles
correspond externally with their importance in the eyes of
the whole Christian world. He erected the ancient Basilica of
St. Peter on the Vatican and that of St. Paul outside the wails.
On November 9, the Dedication of the Basilica of the Saviour
at Rome; on Novemher 18 that of the Basilicas of the Apostles
is celebrated. The reason for determining November 18 is
unknown. It would appear as though these dedications oc-
curring within a few days of each other had been fixed by
some conventional arrangement.

'The present St, Peter's is on the site of the ancient church,
marking the spot where St. Peter was martyred and buried.
It was built in the Sixteenth Century when Pope Julius If and
Leo X engaged Bramante and Michael Angelo to construct
what is now the most vast and the richest church in the world.
Te pey Church was consecrated by Urban VIII on November

In 1823 the Basilica of St. Paul was almost wholly destroyed
by fire, which spared only that part of the Church where the
altar of the Apostle stands under the triumphant arch of Leo
the Great. It was rebuilt by the efforts of successive Popes
and reconsecrated by Pius IX on December 10, 1854.

So by the wonderful dispensation of Providence it came to
pass that the Catholic Church celebrates annually the dedi-
cation of the four patriarchal basilicas at Rome: that of the
Savior, of St. Peter, St. Paul and St. Mary Major. As each
diocese commemorates the enceenia of its own cathedral, so the
whole Catholic world celebrates annually the dedication of
the fourfold Papal cathedral, and this festival is symbolical
of the fact that in spite of the limits established to each dio-
cese the Church of Christ is one, and is founded on Peter, who
continues to feed his lambs from the seven hills, and to rule
over the flock of Christ throughout the earth.

Nov. 19. St. Elizabeth, Queen of Hungary, Widow: Elizabeth,
“fragrant rose of charity,” daughter of Andrew, King of
Hungary, and wife of Louis IV, landgrave of Thuringia, even
before she could read was seen to cast herself before the altar,
open a book of Psalms, fold her hands in prayer, and kiss the
ground in token of humility. Prayer was everything to Eliza-
zeth. Her husband was also a, man of piety. They had three
children, Herman, Sophia and Gertrude. Her greatest de-
votion was for the poor and the sick; she even brought lepers
into her home to care for them, At her husband’s death she
entered the Order of the Penitents of St. Francis, Her brother-
in-law then expelled her with her children, and she went forth
poor, unable to find shelter for herself and her children. She
died in 1231; the miracles obtained through her intercession
brought about her canonization in 1235.

Severus. The emperor's successor, Maximinus, a cruel tyrant,

Noy, 20. St. Felix of Valois, Confessor: St. Felix of Valois,
of the royal family of France, was inspired with the desire of
founding an Order for the redemption of Christian captives.
He moved St. John of Matha, then a youth, to join him, and
together they founded the Order of the Most Holy Trinity.
After a life of great sanctity St. Felix died in 1213.

Nov. 21. The Presentation of the Blessed Virgin Mary:
Just as we celebrate the birth of Jesus, the feast of His Holy
Name and His presentation in the Temple, so too the Church
solemnizes the nativity of the Blessed Virgin, the feast of
her holy name and her presentation in the Temple. The tra-
dition that Mary when three years old was presented by her
parents in the Temple in order to be brought up in the shadow
of the tabernacle is first found in the apocryphal Gospels. It
agrees, however, so completely with the sentiment of Catholic
devotion concerning that part of the immaculate life of Mary
not mentioned in the Gospel, that it found favor with Cath-
olics too. It was celebrated in the East as early as the Sixth
Century. It was introduced in the West by the agency of
Philippe de Maizieres, envoy of the King of Cyprus to the
papal Court of Avignon. He described the festival as cele-
brated in the East in such glowing colors that Gregory XI
introduced it into the Calendar of the Curia.

Mary was brought by her parents to the Temple at Jeru-
Salem in order that the Rod of Jesse from whence the Flower of
Nazareth would blossom should be preserved from all danger
in the shadow of the sanctuary. This should be a lesson to
all, but especially to parents who cannot guard the innocence
of their children more surely than by accustoming them from
an early age to prayer and to frequent reception of the sacra-
ments.

Nov. 22. St. Cecilia, Virgin, Martyr: Born of an illustrious
family, Cecilia as a child consecrated her virginity to God.
Forced to marry a young pagan, Valerian, she said to him:
“I am placed under the guardianship of an angel who protects
my vitginity; therefore do not attempt anything which may
bring down on thee God’s anger.” Valerian asked to see the
angel, saying that if he should see him he would believe in
Jesus Christ. Cecilia told him that he must first be baptized
and sent him to Pope Urban, who baptized him. Valerian then
saw near Cecilia a brilliant angel. The brother of Valerian
had a similar vision when, having been instructed by Cecilia,
he too was baptized. Valerian and Tiburtious his brother were
both martyred a short time later. Cecilia was then arrested
and put to death about the year 230. In 1599 her body was
discovered in the catacombs by Cardinal Sfoudrati with the
head lying partly severed, just as at the time of her death.
Her body now lies in the Church in Trastevere where the nuns
of the Order of St. Benedict are its guardians. Cecilia is the
patroness of musicians, because when musical instruments
sounded she sang to God in her heart.

Nov. 23. St. Clement, Pope, Martyr: St. Clement, styled by
St. Paul in his letter to the Philippians (iv, 3) as his “fellow-
laborer,” succeeded St. Cletus as Pope in the year, 90. He is
named third in the Canon of the Mass, after the apostles.
There is no serious reason for doubting his martyrdom, al-
though the account of it is apocryphal. That the Clement
mentioned by St. Paul is the same as the pope and martyr,
commemorated to-day, is denied by many. His church in
Rome is an example of the Roman basilica of an early time.
His Acts state that he was buried at Chersonesus in Crimea.
When the Apostles of the Slavs, Cyril and Methodius, went to
Rome to give an account.of their mission to Adrian I they
brought with them as a gift to the Pope the relics of St.
Clement discovered by them at Chersonesus,

St. Felicitas, Martyr: St. Felicitas, the mother of
the Seven Holy Martyrs, shortly after they died was called to
give her life for Christ. She was beheaded, November 23, 150.
Her remains rested in the Cemetery of Maximus with those of
Silanus, the youngest of her sons. Subsequently the bones of
this saint were placed in the title of Susanna where they still
repose. `

Nov. 24. St. John of the Cross, Confessor, Doctor: Pope
Clement XII desiring to honor the Mystical Doctor of Carmel,
famous for the help he gave to St. Teresa in the reform ‘of
her Order and for his mystical writings, in which he taught
the science of the saints for the good of souls, introduced his
feast into the Calendar. Pius XI (November 24, 1926) pro-
claimed him a Doctor of the Church. His life was filled
with difficulties and embittered by anxiety, fatigue, perse-
cution, and painful illnesses. "When Jesus asked him one day
what reward he desired for the labors he had sustained, John
replied: “Lord, to suffer and be humiliated for Thee.” He
asked God not to let him pass a day without suffering and to
permit him to die where he would be unknown to all, He
passed to a better life on December 14, 1591.

St. Chrysogonus, Martyr: St, Chrysogonus, a Ro-
man, was martyred under Emperor Diocletian. His name is
mentioned in the Canon of the Mass. From the Fourth Cen-
tury 2 basilica was dedicated to him at Rome in Trastevere.

Nov. 25. St. Catharine, Virgin, Martyr: The legend of St.
Catharine is unsupported by solid historical authority. De-
votion to her began in the West about the Eleventh Century
and was widely spread by the Crusaders. We have still much
to learn about the personality of St. Catharine, but although
the particulars of her life are uncertain, God has been pleased
to glorify his saint on Mount Sinai, where her tomb is still
venerated by pilgrims.

St. Gertrude, who from childhood had had a great devotion
to St. Catharine, once asked of Our Lord to be allowed to see
the heavenly glory of her patron. Her prayer was beard, and
She beheld the virgin of Alexandria on a golden throne sur-
rounded by the sages whom she had led to a knowledge of the
faith, and who formed her brightest crown in heaven.

Nov. 26. St. Sylvester, Abbot: The feast of this holy Abbot
of Monte Fano near Fabriano was introduced into the Cal-
endar by Leo XIII, who in doing so paid him the honor ren-
dered by the Church to the founders of Religious Orders.

In the Thirteenth Century, when many Benedictine mon-
asteries in Italy had lost much of their former holiness and
learning, St. Sylvester succeeded in infusing new vitality into
the ancient Order, by founding a monastic family which by
the blessing of God transformed several Religious houses, and
was distinguished by the sanctity of its members. His Order
is called the Silvestrines; it numbered twenty-five houses in
Italy when its founder died in 1267 at the age of ninety.

St. Peter of Alexandria, Bishop, Martyr: St. Peter
was the last martyr to suffer at Alexandria under the perse-
cution of Diocletian (311) and therefore the Greeks give him
the honorable title of “the seal and limit of the persecution.”
He was an admirable example of a bishop.

Nov. 29. Vigil of St. Andrew, Apostle: The day preceding
a festival is styled a vigil (from the Latin word signifying a
night-watch) because in primitive ages the faithful passed in
prayer in the church the greater part of the evening and night
preceding a festival. Nor did they break their fast until after

e holy sacrifice of the Mass had been offered, and Com-
munion given in the course of the vigil, Hence the greater
vigils are still observed as fast-days; and the Mass of a vigil
has a specially penitential character. Purple vestments are
worn by the priest; the Gloria in excelsis is not said.

St. Saturninus, Martyr: St. Saturninus, martyr,
suffered at Rome in the last great persecution under Emperor
Diocletian, 304.

Nov. 30. St. Andrew, Apostle: St. Andrew, the elder brother
of St. Peter, and, like him, a fisherman of the lake of Galilee,
on hearing St. John the Baptist proclaim that Jesus was the
Lamb of God, was moved to follow Our Lord, who chose him
to be one of the twelve apostles. It is believed that after the
Resurrection St, Andrew labored in spreading the Gospel in
Eastern Europe, and.made many converts. At the last he was
crucified in Patras in the Greek manner, In 357 his re-
mains, together with those of St. Luke, were solemnly trans-
lated to the Church of the Apostles in Constantinople. His
head is venerated at St. Peter’s in Rome. In 1210 his body
had been moved to the Cathedral at Amalfi in the Kingdom of
Naples. His feast is important not only on account of the
position it holds in the Missal (at the beginning of the Proper
of the Saints) but more especially on account of the antiphons
"d me Dne Office and the passages from Holy Scripture read

e Mass.

Feasts of December

Dec. 2. St. Bibiana, Virgin, Martyr: St. Bibiana, a Roman
virgin, was scourged to death (363) in the persecution of
Julian the Apostate. Before her death her father, mother,

and only sister, had given their lives for Christ. One of the
most ancient churches in Rome bears her name, and is said
to have been built on the site of her house,

Dec. 3. St. Francis Xavier, Confessor: St. Francis Xavier,
the great Jesuit missionary, was the apostle of the East In-
dies, and the first to preach the faith of Christ in Japan. He
baptized hundreds of thousands of pagans, For the love of
Jesus and out of a “longing love to help Christ’s poor,” he
traveled, barefoot, to the most distant parts, preached the
Gospel in more than a hundred kingdoms, and islands,
brought kings and nations into the fold of the Church. And
then this noble-hearted missionary, this saint mighty in word
and work, gave his great soul to his Master, December 2,
1552,

Dec, 4. St. Peter Chrysologus, Bishop, Confessor, Doctor of
the Church: St. Peter, Archbishop of Ravenna in Italy, who
died about the year 450, won the title of Chrysologus, “golden
worded,” not only for his eloquence, but because his words
were good, true, and of priceless worth. God’s choice of St.
Peter as a bishop, which was made known in a vision to Pope
Sixtus XII, is alluded to in the prayer of the Mass.

St. Barbara, Virgin, Martyr: St. Barbara, also com-
memorated to-day, was a virgin martyr, who suffered for
Christ probably in Egypt, during the reign of Galerius, about
the year 306. The details of her holy life are unknown; but
she has been held in veneration throughout the Church from
the date of her martyrdom, s

Dec. 5. St. Sabbas, Abbot: St. Sabbas, a monk in Palestine,
was famous for his charity to those in need, for his true Catn-
olic zeal, and for his austere life. There is a church in Rome
dedicated to him. Over ninety years of age, he died in 531.

Dec. 6. St. Nicholas, Bishop, Confessor: St. Nicholas, Arch-
bishop of Myra in Asia Minor, from the childlike innocence
of his own life and his devout care for the young, is looked
upon as the patron of children. He died in the middle of
the Fourth Century, and seven hundred years later his holy
relics were translated to Bari in Italy. Because of the power
he exercised over flames, we pray that through his intercession
we may be preserved from the flames of hell. He is remem-
bered for the money which he threw in a window that three
young girls might have a dowry for their marriage. Because
of this gift his name has become associated with giving
and children thank Santa Claus (or St. Nicholas) for their
presents at Christmastime.

Dec. 7. St. Ambrose, Bishop, Confessor, Doctor of the
Church: St. Ambrose, a doctor or teacher of the Church, was
Archbishop of Milan from a.D. 374 to his death in 397. By
his steadfastness he deserved well of God's people. Gentle-
ness, meekness, humility, and obedience made him yield to
every one in indifferent matters, but in those of duty he Was
infiexible. His writings have contributed many hymns and
lections to the Roman Breviary. St. Ambrose died April 3,

397; but the fourth of April falling as a rule in Lent, the
Seventh of December, anniversary of his consecration as
bishop, was assigned for his festival.

Dec, 7. Vigil of the Immaculate Conception of the Blessed
Virgin Mary: To add to the solemnity of the feast of the
Immaculate Conception of Our Blessed Lady, Pope Leo XIII
in 1879 extended this vigil to the Universal Church.

. Dec, 8. The Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Virgin
Mary: The feast of the Immaculate Conception of the Blessed
Virgin Mary was instituted to solemnize the exalted dignity
bestowed upon her through a special grace of God, and in be-
half of the merits of Christ—a dignity and choice that pre-
Served her from the least stain of original sin. :

We must look to the Orient for the first indications of this
feast. In the Eastern Church it was observed as early as the
Seventh Century, and in the Western Church it became
known in the Ninth Century. Pope Sixtus IV introduced it
(1476) into the Roman Church; Pope Gregory XV gave to it
(1622) the title, “Conceptio B.V.M. Immaculate’; Innocent
XII raised it (1693) to a feast of the second class with an
octave; Clement XI declared it (1708) a universal holyday;
Pius IX gave it (1863) new Breviary hours and a new Mass;
Leo XIII raised it (1879) to a feast of the first class with a
vigil. The choice of December 8 was determined and ap-
proved solely in accordance with its tradition. The First
Plenary Council of Baltimore, held in 1846, chose the Blessed
Virgin Mary in her Immaculate Conception as the principal
patron of the United States.

The feast of the Immaculate Conception is not to be con-
fused with that of the conception of Christ (feast of the An-
nunciation of the Blessed Virgin Mary); it is the commem-
oration of the day on which Mary was created by God, and
that in the state of grace; whereas. all other human beings
come into this world stained with original sin. This idea of
the feast was vigorously debated by theologians till far into
ihe Middle Ages, but was clarified more and more under the
authority of the popes, so that the dogma, announced by
Pope Pius IX on December 8, 1854, as divinely revealed, had
already been universally accepted as such in the Seventeenth
Century.

Dec. 10. St. Melchiades, Pope, Martyr: Pope St. Melchiades
ruled the Church at the close of the era of persecution. St.
Augustine styled him “a true son of peace and a true father of
Christians," He died January 10, 314, having sat as Pope
two years, six months, and eight days. In some calendars he
is called à martyr, doubtless on account of his sufferings in
times of persecution.

Dec, 11. St. Damasus, Pope, Confessor: St. Damasus, by
birth a Spaniard, governed the Church from 366 to 384, “The
ancients,” according to Alban Butler, “particularly commend
his constancy in maintaining the purity of our holy faith, the
innocence of his manners, his Christian humility, his com-
passion for the poor, his piety in adorning holy places, espe-

cially the tombs of the martyrs, and his singular learning.”
Much of our knowledge about the martyrs is derived from the
inscriptions which he composed in their praise., He estab-
lished rules for the liturgical singing of the Psalms and decreed
that the Gloria Patri should be said at the end of each Psalm.
At his command St. Jerome translated the New Testament
into Latin. This Pope also confirmed the second ecumenical
council, held at Constantinople.

Dec. 13. St. Lucy, Virgin, Martyr: St. Lucy, a native of
Syracuse, Sicily, consecrated herself to God from her child-
hood. Her mother did not know of her vow and wished her
to marry a young pagan. At the tomb of St. Agatha, she
prayed for the cure of her mother from a serious disease,
When this prayer was granted she informed her mother of
her vow, to which her mother then consented. When the
young pagan saw her distributing her goods among the poor,
his anger knew no bounds. He accused her before Paschasius,
the governor, of being a Christian. She was brought before a
judge who commanded her to be exposed to temptation in an
evil house. But God watched over her and made her abso-
lutely immovable so that no number of guards could carry
her to that place. In a similar way He preserved her from
the pains of fire and other dreadful torments. Finally she
died in prison of wounds she had received (304). Her name
is in the Canon of the Mass.

Dec. 15. Octave Day of the Immaculate Conception: On
the feast of the Immaculate Conception we welcome the dawn
of the day as the herald of the ardently desired coming of the
Sun of Justice i.e., of the birth of Our Savior, to which Mary's
feast is a beautiful preparatory festival. Hence the feast
fits admirably into the time of Advent. The stronger our
longing for the divine child, the more rapturous is our joy
in the Mother of God. The All-holy could not but be born
of a most pure virgin. “I will greatly rejoice in the Lord, and
my soul shall be joyful in my God"—thus the Church has
Mary pray. The Epistle depicts God's wisdom, to which Mary
most nearly approaches: “He that shall find me shall find
Hfe, and shall have salvation from the Lord.” May we not
say this of our Blessed Lady “whose name is Mary," and to
whom the angel said, “Hail, Mary, full of grace; the Lord is
with thee; blessed art thou among women"? The Church
brings the Mass to a beautiful close: “May the sacraments
which we have received, O Lord our God, repair in us the
wounds of that sin from which Thou didst in a singular man-
ner preserve the Immaculate Conception of Blessed Mary.”

Dec. 16. St. Eusebius, Bishop, Martyr: St. Eusebius, Bishop
of Vercelli, in northern Italy, battled for the Church in the
evil days of the Arian heresy, Having for six years and more
endured imprisonment and exile, on his death in A.D. 371 he
was honored as a saint and a martyr,

Dec. 21. St. Thomas, Apostle: St. Thomas, called Didymus,
that is “the twin," was probably a Galilean of lowly condition
and a fisherman. He was chosen to be one of the apostles in

ihe year 31, as can be determined from the mention of his
name in the catalogue of the apostles in St. Matthew. He is
reputed to have been slow of understanding and little ac-
quainted with secular learning. When Jesus was about to
go to the neighborhood of Jerusalem in order to raise Lazarus
from the dead the other apostles tried to dissuade Him, lest
1 the Jews stone Him. But in his enthusiastic love St. Thomas
exclaimed, “Let us also go, that we may die with Him!"
Again, it was at the Last Supper that the Saviour said:
“And whither I go you know, and the way you know.” To
this St. Thomas, burning with an ardent desire to follow the
Master said, “Lord, we know not whither Thou goest; and
how can we know the way?” To which Our Lord replied
with the beautiful words, “I am the way, and the truth, and
a the life. No man cometh to the Father but by Me.” In the
l Gospel for to-day the response of Jesus to the doubt which

Thomas had expressed concerning his resurrection is related,
with the answer of Thomas, “My Lord and my God.”

St. Thomas is said to have planted the standard of the cross
among the Medes, Persians, and neighboring nations. He is
called the Apostle of India. He is said to have been slain for
the faith at Calamina in India; and there is a legend to the
effect that he was executed by the sword or by a lance.

fixion is most appropriate as a frontispiece for a missal.
The Holy Sacrifice of the Mass is the continuation of
Calvary. It is the same sacrifice but offered on our altars
now in an unbloody manner. The altar bread is changed
into the Body and the wine into the Blood of Christ glori-
fied and reigning in heaven.

Page 102 (Picture)—-Tue Root or Jesse. Isaias foretold
the lineage of the Messias. The picture for Advent illus-
trates his prophecy: “And there shall come forth a rod
out of the root of Jesse, and a flower shall rise up out of his
root, and the spirit of the Lord shall rest upon him: the
spirit of wisdom, and of understanding, the spirit of counsel
and of fortitude, the spirit of knowledge, and of godliness.”
(Mary is the sweet stem which bore that Rose Christ). The
root of Jesse was a familiar subject of the artists of the
early church.

Page 186 (Picture) —THE NATIVITY or Our Lon». This
picture illustrates the Gospel of the first Mass of Christmas.
The shepherds were out on the hills of Bethlehem watching
their flocks: when suddenly a bright Angel stood before
them and announced the birth of the promised Redeemer.
“And this shall be a sign unto you: you shall find the infant
wrapped in swaddling clothes, and laid in a manger.” They
went down and saw the word fulfilled. Bowing down they
adored their God. A star announced the good news to the
Wise Men and to the world.

Page 167 (Headpiece)—Tur Hoty Name or Jesus. “In the
name of Jesus let every knee bow, of those that are in
heaven, on earth and under the earth".. The Holy Name of
Jesus is formed in Greek by the letters IHCOYC (Jesous)
here shortened to IHC. 'The rays which encircle the mono-
gram signify the glory of that Holy Name. The angels
represent the eternal adoration and homage of the Church
triumphant in heaven. The flaming torches stand for the
ardor and love burning for that Name in the hearts of those
who belong to the Church Militant on earth. Our Lord
was called Jesus from the day of His circumcision. This, too,
was the occasion of the first shedding of His blood for us;
it is brought to mind by the drops of blood dripping from
the symbolic monogram.

Testament recommends that we pray always. St. Paul does
the same in one of his Epistles. And the prayer of the
Sixth Sunday after the Epiphany has this phrase: “ut sem-
per rationabilia meditantes" suggesting that we always keep
our minds fixed on those things which are pleasing to God.
As smoke ascends so ought our prayers rise up to the beau-
tiful throne of God filling our own souls with the sweet
odour of sanctity.

Page 202 (Headpiece)—“I AM THE RESURRECTION.” The
empty crib, at the left, marks the close of the joyful Christ-
mas cycle. The altar, at the right, attracts our attention
towards the drama of suffering and crucifixion to be re-
presented on Good Friday. The nails and crown of sharp
thorns tell the story of Christ’s bitterest hours. We are
approaching the holy cycle of the liturgical year—the period
of penance and self-denial. Sincere sympathy with Christ’s
Passion and Death constrains us to share His sufferings by
personal mortification—the daily food of strong Christian
souls. Christ suffered and died only to rise all glorious. “I
am the resurrection and the life.” The cross and the wind-
ing sheet silhouetted against the sky keep the memory of
Calvary alive, The phoenix rising from the flames more
glorious than before its descent into the fire is an apt figure
of Christ's resurrection and glorified body. ‘It behooves us,
also, to suffer and so to enter into glory.”

Page 215 (Headpiece)—“By THE DISOBEDIENCE OF ONE
Man.” The symbolic picture for Ash-Wednesday, illustrates
the words of St. Paul: “By the disobedience of one man
(Adam) all men are made sinners; but by the obedience of
one man (Christ the Redeemer) all men are made just.”
The illustration appropriately recalls the scene at the gate
of Paradise where an Angel of God and a flaming sword
stood against Adam and Eve's return. They had disobeyed
God and were expelled. The wages of their sin was an-
nounced to them: “Dust thou art and unto dust thou shalt
return.” .The skull and ashes are opposite the portal of
Eden. Christ bore the scourging for sin and by His death
upon the cross merited the palm of victory for the children
of Adam.

Page 359 (Headpiece)—“O Brest TREE.” The Divine Office
of Passion Sunday is filled with allusions to the wood of
the Cross. The Vesper hymn invites us to sing the praises
of the “Blest Tree, whose happy branches bore the wealth
that died the world to restore." The symbol is designed to
portray the contradiction of the mystery of the “Blest Tree”
against that tree which bore the forbidden fruit—and the

Church’s morning song. Christ the Redeemer had designed
to defeat the Tempter with his own weapon: He “noted
then this Wood, the ruin of the ancient wood to quell... .
And the multiform deceiver’s art by art would overthrow.”
The fruit of the tree led us away from God: the “Faithful
Cross! . . . one and only noble Tree" led us back again to
God.

the curtain is raised for the drama of Calvary to be re-
presented in every sanctuary of the Catholic Church. Al-
though the Church is in mourning, sorrowful nigh to death,
she holds in her hand the palm of victory. She ponders the
treachery of Christ's enemies, the agony in Gethsemani, the
Betrayal and the Last Words of her Beloved. But not for
a moment does she forget the third day—Easter morn when
her sorrow will be turned into joy. Hence the cross is
draped with the winding sheet. “He is not here. Go and
tell His disciples that He is risen from the tomb." ‘The
monogram fixed to the cross is an ancient symbol of Christ
formed by the first two letters X P (corresponding to our
English alphabet. letters C(h) E of the Greek name Christ

nificance we ought not easily forget. 'The Church. gives
everyone a branch of palm. We hold it in our hand during
the singing of the Passion, and pledge our fidelity to Christ.
We would rather die than betray Him Who died for us.

Page 446 (Picture)—-TuHe Last SuPPER. The Apostles are
amazed at the great mystery of Christ's love. "And taking
bread, he gave thanks and broke; and gave to them, saying:
“This is my body, which is given for you. Do this for a
commemoration of me." (Lk. 22, 19). Every Holy Thurs-
day is another anniversary of the event which transformed
this cold earth of ours into a better land of pilgrimage.

Page 447 (Headpiece)—Tue Great Love-Feast oF CHRIST.
In the Liturgy of Maundy Thursday, the Church relives the
great love feast with Christ. On this solemn occasion Christ
revealed the infinite love of His heart. “With desire, I have
desired to eat this pasch with you before I die." He ful-
filled the ancient law of the synagogue by celebrating the
passover, then He instituted the Sacrament of Love—the
Holy Eucharist. All this was done under the shadow of the
cross. The faithful are symbolized by doves. How signifi-
cant when we recall the words of Christ: “Be ye simple ag
doves.” The sheaf of wheat and cluster of grapes is a pop-
ular symbol for the Holy Eucharist. But án ancient symbol

the miracle of the five loaves in the desert which fore-
shadowed the institution of the Holy Eucharist. In the

The instruments of His death graphically portray what
He suffered for love of us. 'They recall the prophetic words
of Isaias describing the death of Christ: “Despised and. the
most abject of men, a man of sorrows and acquainted with
infirmity: and his look was as it were hidden and despised,
whereupon we esteemed him not.” (Is. 53, 3).

Sunday. :

"To the Paschal Victim, hymns of praise,
Come, ye Christians, joyous raise!

Lamb unstained, unmeasured price hath paid,
Ransom for the sheep that strayed."

Not only did the Lamb of God restore man to peace with
God, but He also opened the flood gates of grace.

Page 538 (Picture)—‘Hart, THov KING or VICTORY.” St.
Paul wrote that if Christ is not risen from the dead our faith
is vain and our preaching and hope a fable. But there need
not be any fear of that because Christ had even His enemies’
servants te testify to the resurrection. The terror stricken
soldiers fan back into the city and shouted over their shoul-
ders that Christ had risen from the tomb, They had to be
bribed into silence by the Chief Priests and Scribes. The
holy women visited the empty tomb and were convinced:
“We know that Christ indeed has risen from the grave.
Hail, thou King of Victory, have mercy, Lord, and save.”

of the faithful, He conquers the devil and his forces, He
commands the powers of life and death. The I and X in
the monogram are the Greek initial letters for His name—

victory. It is very appropriate for the eve of the Ascension
which is the liturgical feast that re-presents Christ’s tri-
umphal entry into Heaven. i

Him going up into heaven, alleluia, alleluia, alleluia.”

Page 597 (Picture)—Drscent OF THE Hoty GHosr. After
the Ascension, the Blessed Mother and the Apostles went on
a retreat in the Cenacle to prepare for the coming of the
Paraclete. Christ had promised to send Him. He would
open the minds of the Apostles to the truths He Himself
had taught them. The Holy Ghost came with a roaring
wind and appeared in twelve fiery flames over each of the
twelve. He confirmed their faith, took away all fear, gave
them the gift of tongues to go out and preach to all nations.

began His reign on earth with fire. He descended upon the
Apostles in the upper-room in the form of fiery tongues.
“He has all the power of the glorious Godhead.” And with
what great power His presence was felt on that first Pente-
cost morning. One is constrained to associate with this
event the words of Christ “I have come to cast fire upon the
earth".—During the octave of Pentecost the Church in her
liturgy prays for the seven gifts of the Holy Ghost. The
symbolism of the seven burning lamps at the end of the
octave is a summary of this mighty prayer.

Page 626 (Headpiece)—Trinity SUNDAY. In this illustra-
tion, the artist utilizes an ancient symbol of the Holy Trinity.
This profound mystery of three Divine Persons in one God
can hardly be bettér symbolized than by a triangle whose
Sides are all equal. The three equal lines form one perfect
triangle. We profess belief in “one God, one Lord, not in the
Singleness of one Person, but in the Trinity of one sub-
stance” (Preface of the Mass). The artist has enclosed the
triangle in a circle, a symbol of eternity. The triple sanctus
and adoring Seraphim incessantly proclaim that our God is
thrice holy, worthy of all honor and glory. :

Trinity—which simply overwhelms the human mind. In
the strength of our faith in It, we shall be protected from
all adversities. And what do we believe? ‘That there are
three Persons in One God. The ancient symbol of this
faith is brief and most concise, Three equal circles stand
for the Three equal Persons, intertwined to show the in-
timate relation between Them and enclosed in one greater
circle to suggest the substantial unity. A perfect illustra-
tion of the words of the Introit of the Feast—“Blessed be
the Holy Trinity and undivided unity.”

frescoes in the Vatican, It illustrates the history of the doc-
irine of the Holy Eucharist by gathering around the Sacra-
ment of the Altar the representative Doctors of the early
Church who taught the great mystery of faith. Christ is
the center of the Church Triumphant in heaven, militant
on earth and suffering in purgatory. We are in the reign
of the Holy Spirit. He appears in the picture as the link
between heaven and earth.

Page 644 (Picture)—THe Sacrep HEART OF JESUS. When
we look at this picture of the Sacred Heart of Jesus and
read the Introit of the Mass, we wonder what profound
secrets were revealed to the Beloved Disciple, St. John, when
he rested upon our Blessed Lord’s breast at the Last Supper.
Our Lord surely revealed some of them to St. Margaret Mary
Alacoque. The chalice and host—Sacrament and Sacrifice
of His Love—are very significant because through the Mass
and Holy Communion “the thoughts of His Heart are. to
all generations” as we read in the Introit. The spear and
ladder, the pillar, the crown of thorns and nails recall the
bitter hours of Christ’s sacrifice on Calvary. But the two
palms announce His victory over death and sin.

“Oh shame! to turn to evil deeds,

That rend His loving heart in twain.

In virtue's ways march bravely on,

While burning hearts our love proclaim.”
(Vesper Hymn of the Feast)

the faithful, which He effects through the ministration of
His priests. This is a sacramental of the Church; it cleanses
from venial sin all who assist at it with contrite hearts, and
thus prepares them better for the Holy Sacrifice.

eternal Father bearing on His Body the wounds which
mark Him victim of the Eternal Sacrifice. The Sacrifice of
Calvary continues in heaven. And in every mass this Eternal
Sacrifice is presented in time; God the Father again accepts
the atonement, thanksgiving, petition and adoration of Jesus,

Page 777 (Headpiece)—Tue Savrour’s Fountains. ‘The
Sacrifice of the Mass is the center of the Liturgy. Christ
died on the cross for the salvation of the world. The head-
piece works out this dogma in a symbolió manner. The
monogram on the cross stands for Christ, Who is the bégin-
ning and end of all—Creator and Judge. Stags are familiar
figures in the Church’s symbolism. They always represent
the faithful.. Here they are drinking from the streams
which flow from the foot of the cross. . Calvary is the orig-
inal source of the waters of salvation and sanctifying grace,
and through the Mass these waters continue to flow. We
see the words of Isaias fulfilled: -“You shall draw waters
with joy out of the Saviour’s fountains.” (Isaias 12, 3).

. Page 797 (Tailpiece)—I Aw THE ViNE, You THE BRANCHES.
Christ called Himself the vine of which the faithful are
the branches. By grace we grow more like to Christ, more
intimate with Him; we become with the first reception of
grace at Baptism members of His Mystical Body. The artist
has surrounded the vine with three equal circles—a trefoil
suggesting another profound doctrine—the relation of the
Mystical Body to the Blessed Trinity. The faithful with
Christ are. the beloved sons of the Father; the Holy Ghost
is the bond of love between that same Father and us the
members of Christ.

church uses this passage from the Apocalypse to describe
the Mother of God. She was exempted from the law of
inheritance according to which all men are born with the
stain of original sin, because she was to be the Mother of
God. She is, too, the chosen daughter of the Father, and
the Spouse of the Holy Ghost. The symbol of the Holy
Spirit hovering over the Immaculate Mother is therefore
very significant. Mary, too, is the beloved daughter who
“feedeth among the lilies.” (Canticle of Canticles.)

Page 900 (Headpiece)—THe LIGHT OF THE WonLp. The
lighted candle is a traditional symbol of our Blessed Lord,
Who called Himself “the Light of the world." The candle
flame dispels darkness. Christ dispels the darkness of sin by
His grace, the darkness of ignorance by His message of
eternal truth. Candle flame gives warmth, Christ ignites
souls with love. “I am come to cast fire upon earth.” The
lighted candle is & most appropriate symbol for the feast
of Purification which portrays Christ in its liturgy as "the
light to enlighten the nations, the Glory of His people
Israel"

Page 945 (Tailpiece)—Tue Just Man Swart FLOURISH,
The opening words of today’s Introit are translated into a
graphic symbol. “The just man shall flourish like a palm
tree ... planted in the house of the Lord.” (Ps. 91, 13-14.)
The monogram is surrounded by a halo significant of the
eternal bliss which St. Joseph is now enjoying in heaven.
Once a Pharaoh told his people to go to Joseph. The Church
today makes those words her own.

(The comparison is Oriental. There is hardly a more
beautiful picture in the Orient than a healthy green palm
tree standing beside a running stream.)

Page 946 (Picture)—Sr. JoserH. The picture illustrates
the exalted dignity of St. Joseph as foster father of the Son
of God. And the Gospel of the Mass says: “Jesus Himself
was beginning about the age of thirty years: being (as it was
supposed) the son of Joseph." (Lk. 3, 23). The two scenes
from Joseph’s life portray him as the dutiful father of Jesus.
St. Joseph is always represented with a lily in his hand
because he was "the chaste guardian of the Virgin."
(Litany).

Page 954 (Picture)—THE AmwNuNcIATION. The lily, sym-
bolic of Mary's spotless cbastity, is the choicest flower in
God's garden. It was to this pure maiden that the Arch-
angel Gabriel brought the message of God: "Hail Mary, full
of grace, the Lord is with thee . . . the Holy Ghost shall

come upon thee. . . . The Holy which shall be born of thee
shall be called the Son of God." (Lk. 1, 35).

Page 1064 (Headpiece)—BEHOLD THE LAMB oF Gop. The
artist has summarized what we know of St. John the Baptist.
He was chosen to prepare the way for Christ's coming. He
announced the lamb of God. “Behold the Lamb of God,
behold Him, who taketh away the sins of the world" (Jn.
1, 29). Like a morning star John preceded the rising sun—
Symbol of the Light of the world. Mary was conceived
without original sin; the Precursor was born without original
sin. The lily reminds us of tbis privilege, which John pre-
served by his austere life in the desert clothed in a hair
shirt and content with locusts and wild honey. Upon the
fulness of time Christ came to be baptized. John raised the
Shell of water over Christ's brow and a voice came out of a
cloud: “This is My Beloved Son ... hear ye Him." After
that St. John’s mission was fulfilled. He died a martyr by
the executioner's sword.

Page 1077 (Headpiece)—Szs. PETER AND PauL. The church
for centuries has used symbols to tell the lives of her Saints.
In keeping with this tradition the symbolic picture sum-
marizes the respective missions of Sts. Peter and Paul. Our
Lord appointed Peter to be His Vicar on earth. He gave
him the keys of the kingdom of God on earth, and com-
missioned him to “feed My lambs and My sheep.” ‘The
chair is a symbol of Peter as Pope and Vicar of Christ.. St.
Peter finally proved his great love for his Master by cruci-
fixion with his head towards the ground. St. Paul was be-
headed on the same day. That is why the sword is placed
against the inverted cross. St. Paul was a missionary who
suffered the hardships of the sea, even shipwreck. "The
quill and papyrus bear testimony to his titles Vessel of
Election and Doctor of the Gentiles.

. Page 1158 (Picture)—-Twe ASSUMPTION OF Our Lapy. It is
the common belief of the faithful that Our Blessed Lady
was taken up into heaven before her body was allowed to
corrupt in the tomb. Our Lord's Ascension was witnessed
by men and angels; Our Lady's Assumption only by angels.
The picture can only suggest the beatitude and glory of that
Scene. The branches of roses and pot of lilies are a beau-
tiful tribute to the Queen of Martyrs and of Virgins.

moon which receives its light from the sun. “Who is she
that cometh forth as the morning rising, fair as the moon,
bright as the sun" (Cant. 6, 9). Mary was conceived with-
out the stain of original sin. From her conception there
was enmity between her and Satan, “I will put enmity
between thee and the woman and thy seed and her seed.
She shall crush thy head and thou shalt lie in wait for her
heel" That was the first promise of a Redeemer. Mary's
soul is an enclosed garden where lilies of the greatest pur-
ity flourish. “Thou are all fair, O my love, and there is not
a spot in thee" (Cant. 4, 7).

Page 1198 (Headpiece)—Tuv SOUL a SWORD SHALL PIERCE.
We are accustomed to see the Mother of Sorrows—seven
Swords piercing her tender beart. But Mary knew only one
sorrow, all others are nothing in comparison. “Through
her heart, His sorrow sharing, all His bitter anguish bear-
ing, now at length the sword had passed" (Hymn for
Vespers). Simeon in the temple had foretold her martyr-
dom: “And thy soul a sword shall pierce, that out of many
hearts, thoughts may be revealed” (Lk, 2, 35). The garland
of roses and thorns reminds us of the bitter anguish that
pierced the heart of Mary—the Rosa mystica.

Page 1256 (Picture)—Jesus Curist, Kine. We find an
appreciation of this picture in the Gradual of the Mass:
“He shall rule from sea to sea, and from the river to the
ends of the earth. All kings. shall adore Him, all nations
shall serve Him.” Christ the King, therefore, holds the
globe in His palm and in his right hand the cross which is
now His scepter and the emblem of His universal dominion.
Now He wears a crown not of thorns but of glory. Attend-
ing angels carry the nails and crown of thorns—symbols of
the sacrifice which won for Him His universal Kingship.
Christ is robed in the garments of a priest because He is
always the Eternal High Priest,

Page 1263 (Tailpiece) —THE Crown or Justice. There is
a crown awaiting the faithful servant of God in heaven.
This is a familiar phrase among Catholics. ‘The symbol
illustrates our faith. The palm of victory, too, is familiar.
The meaning of the stars is clear. They shine only in the
heavens, But the' full meaning of this symbol is found in
the words of St. Paul: “I have fought a good fight, I have
finished my course, I have kept the faith. As to the rest,
there is laid up for me a crown of justice, which the Lord
the just judge will render to me in that day" (2 Tim. 4, 7).

the Saints in glory. God the Father, His Beloved Son and
the Holy Spirit symbolized by the dove, are surrounded by
& chorus of Angels. Virgins and Virgin Martyrs, representing
those privileged souls who follow the Lamb singing a hymn
Of praise that only Virgins can sing, occupy the left side of
the middle tier. John the Baptist and Precursor, the Patri-
archs and Prophets and Saints of the Old Testament are
grouped together on the right side of the same tier. Saints
of the New Dispensation who lived after Christ’s coming and
from every walk of life are grouped in the third tier. They
are looking up to Christ their Redeemer and beloved Master
whom they have served so faithfully on earth.

Page 1269 (Headpiece)—CoMMEMORATION OF ALL SOULS.
There is only one source of salvation—the Sacrifice of Cal-
vary. Behold then the "Lamb of God Who takest away the
sins of the world.” Out of the depths of Purgatory the
souls cry to Christ the Lamb slain yet eternally living—the
beginning and end of salvation represented by the symbols
Alpha, the first letter and the symbol Omega, the last letter
of the Greek alphabet (Apoc. 22, 13).

Page 1270 (Picture)—Forcer Me Nor AT THE DAILY SACRI-
FICE. The artist has designed a symbolic picture to teach
the universal efficacy of the Mass. At every Mass the
heavens are opened not only to pour down benediction upon
our earth, but to receive the march of souls liberated from
Purgatory. This is happening all over the world “from tht
rising of the sun to the going down” (Malachias 1, 11). All
the poor souls are being saved in the name of Jesus which
means savior. That is the meaning of the anchor and the
monogram. The two globes portray the fulfillment of
Malachias’ prophecy. The Father and the Holy Spirit co-
operate in the daily Mass, which fact explains the hand
from the clouds and the dove in the picture. In the center
of the glory of heaven, the Lamb of God, slain but still
living and standing upon the book whose seals He alone
can loose, is surrounded by the choirs of Angels and Saints.
The beautiful peacocks are used as a symbol of Christ’s
divinity and immortality. Alpha and Omega, the initial and
final letters of the Greek alphabet call to mind the truth
in which we all sincerely trust—Christ is the beginning and
final end of our salvation.

Page 1298 (Tailpiece) —Tnr Securiry or OUR Farru. The
meaning of the anchor in the church's symbolism is readily
understood, It is the symbol of faith. Frequently the fish
is used as a symbol of the faithful. The combination of the

are anchored to Christ through faith. Faith is vision for
the soul. The vision of eternal realities albeit in a dark
manner and through a cloud. Therefore the rising sun in
the background. The saints realized the security which
faith gives a sincere soul.

Page 1398 (Picture) —-THE MEDIATRIX OF ALL GRACES. The
Blessed Virgin Mary is shown in her place in the mystic
Body of Christ. Her title “Gate of Heaven” tells us her
work as Mediatrix of All Graces. She stands at the portals
of heaven clothed with the sun and the stars in her crown.
She is Queen of Heaven (signified by the. monogram and
crown). The four angels on the panels bear her titles.
The mystic rose: she suffered; she was the sorrowful Mother.
The Symbolic Lily (fleur-de-lis): she was free from all sin.
The Morning Star: her glory in her Divine Child. The
Star of the Sea: our guide o’er life’s tempestuous way. Her
attitude is that of the orantes, as pictured in the catacombs;
this is the position of prayer, like to that of the priest dur-
ing the Canon of the Mass. The prayer of the church unites
with her prayer. The dove resting on a pillar (right) de-
velops the thought that Mary prays for all the faithful; the
dove on the broken branch (left) proclaims the intention of
Our Lady’s prayer—that all may enter Paradise. Cardinal
Mercier’s favorite salutation for the Virgin was Mediatrix
of All Graces.

Pevotions for Confession
Before Confession

EFLECT that this confession may be the last of your

life. Therefore, prepare yourself for it as if you were
lying sick upon your deathbed, and already at the brink
of the grave. Ask God to give you the grace to make a
good examination of conscience, the light to see your sins
clearly, and the strength to make a sincere confession and to
amend your life, ' .

Praper pu A

ost merciful God, Father in heaven, relying on Th

goodness and mercy, I corae to Thee with filial con-
fidence to confess my sins and to implore Thy forgiveness.
Thou wilt not despise a contrite and humble heart. Bless
me and receive me again into Thy favor; I acknowledge
that I have been most ungrateful to Thee, but I sincerely
repent and detest the wrong I lave done, and I desire hence-
forth to walk in the way of perfection, in accordance with
Thy holy will. f

O Jesus, my Saviour, my good Shepherd, I have strayed
far from the path that Thou hast marked out for me; I did
not follow in Thy footsteps; I wandered into forbidden
places. Repentant. and sorrowful, I beg to be admitted
again into the fold of Thy faithful followers. I want to
confess my sins with perfect: sincerity, as if I were at the
point of death. My Jesus, I look to Thee with confidence
for the grace to examine my conscience well.

O Holy Spirit, come in Thy mercy; enlighten my mind
and strengthen my will that I may know my sins, humbly
confess them, and sincerély amend my life.

“Mary, my mother, immaculate spouse of the Holy Ghost,
refuge of sinners, assist me in Thy intercession.

Holy angels and saints of God, pray for me. Amen.

Examination of Conscience

Begin by examining yourself on your last confession:
Whether a grievous sin was forgotten through want of proper
examination, or concealed or disguised through. shame.
Whether you confessed without a true sorrow and a firm
purpose of amendment. Whether you have repaired evil done
to your neighbor. Whether the penance was performed with-
out voluntary distractions, Whether you have neglected your
confessor's counsel, and fallen at once into habitual sins.

Then examine yourself on the ten commandments; the
commandments of the Church; the seven. capital sins; the
duties of your state of life and your ruling passion. Calmly
recall the different occasions of sin which have fallen in your
way, or to which your state and condition in life expose you;
the places you have frequented. The persons with whom you

http://ccwatershed.org

1794 GENERAL DEVOTIONS

have associated. Do not neglect to consider the circumstances
which alter the grievousness of the sin, nor the various ways
in which we become accessory to the sins of others.

The Ten Commandments of God
1: am the Lord thy God, Who brought thee out of the

land of Egypt, and out of the house of bondage. Thou ;

shalt not have strange gods before Me. Thou shalt not
make to thyself a graven thing, nor the likeness of any

T io blessed Michael the archangel, to blessed John the

saints, that I have sinned exceedingly in thought, word, and
deed, through my fault, through my fault, through. my most
grievous fault. . .. s s :

Then tell when you made your last confession and begin the
avowal of your sins. Confess all your sins with a contrite and
humble heart, and conclude thus:

For these and all the sins of my past. life, especially my
sins of (naming some grievous sin), I am heartily sorry, beg
pardon of God, and absolution of you, my Father (then
finish the Confiteor). . . . Therefore, I beseech the blessed
Mary, ever a virgin, blessed Michael the archangel, blessed
John the Baptist, the holy apostles Peter and Paul, and all
the saints, to pray to the Lord our God for me.

Listen then with humility and docility to the instruction of
your confessor, and during this time avoid all recurrence as to
the confession itself; remembering that sins forgotten after a
serious examination are really comprised in the absolution.
Accept with submission the penance imposed, and if any ob-
stacle that you foresee will prevent your accomplishing it,
state this respectfully.

While the priest pronounces the words of absolution, en-
deavor to excite an act of perfect contrition. Should your
spiritual Father deem it proper to defer absolution, acknowl-
edge your unworthiness, and do not murmur. Leave the con-
fessional resolved to use every effort, by an amendment of
life and sincere repentance, to obtain God’s pardon, which His
minister will ratify.

Thanksgiving after Confession

TERNAL Father! I thank Thee, I bless Thee, for Thy

goodness and mercy. Thou hast had compassion on
me, although in my folly I had wandered far away from
Thee and offended Thee most grievously. With fatherly
love Thou hast received me anew after so many relapses
into sin and forgiven me my offenses through the holy sac-
rament of Penance. Blessed forever, O my God, be Thy
loving-kindness, Thy infinite mercy! Never again will I
grieve Thee by ingratitude, by disobedience to Thy holy will,

tremble in drawing near to the Table on which is spread

body and in soul because I did not restrain my thoughts nor
guard my lips: nevertheless it is to Thee, O God of majesty
and love, that I turn in my extremity, for Thou art the
fount of mercy; to Thee, as quickly as I may, I speed: for
Thou alone canst heal me; I take refuge under Thy pro-
tection. I dare not face ‘Thee as my judge, but I cleave to

unto the sorrows of nations, the troubles of the poor, the
gfoanings of those in bondage, the desolation of orphans, the
weariness of wayiarers, the helplessness of the sick, the

Hou, O Lord, hast mercy upon all, and hatest nothing

that Thou hast made. Remember how frail our nature
is, and that Thou art our Father and our God. Be not
angry with us for ever, and shut not up Thy tender mercies
in displeasure. It is not with any hope in any righteous-
ness of our own that we lay our prayers before Thee, but
with filial trust. in the multitude of Thy tender mercies.
Take away from us, O Lord, our iniquities, and mercifully
kindle in us the fire of Thy holy spirit. Take away from
us our hearts of stone and fashion within us hearts of
flesh, hearts to love Thee, to long for Thee, to delight in
Thee, to be submissive to Thee—hearts whose only happi-
ness shall be in Thee. We beseech Thee, O Lord, to look
down with favor upon Thy people while they pay their
vows to Thy most holy name; and that the desire of none
may be in vain, and the petitions of none unfulfilled, do
Thou inspire our prayers, that they may be such as Thou
delightest to hear and answer.

LORD, Who art our all-holy Father, we plead to Thee
O especially on behalf of the souls of the faithful de-
parted. May this great sacrament of Thy love be to them
health and salvation, refreshment and joy. My Lord and
my God, may it be their happiness this very day to be ad-

feast on Thee, the living bread that came down from
beaven, and gave life to the world; may they partake with
‘us of. Thy holy and blessed flesh—the fiesh of the Lamb

very flesh which, being conceived of the Holy Ghost, Thou,
in the hallowed womb of the Blessed Virgin Mary, didst
make Thine own; may they drink of that loving stream
which the soldier’s. spear drew out of Thy. sacred side, that
they may be thereby strengthened and quickened, rested and
comforted, and may sing with joy Thy praise and glory,

that, therewith adorned, I may with a good conscience ap-
proach Thine altar, and that this heavenly sacrament may
thus be unto me salvation and life; for Thou hast said with
Thine own holy and blessed mouth: “The bread which I
will give is My flesh, for the life of the world. I am the
living bread which came down from heaven. If any man
eat of this bread he shall live for ever.” O bread of sweet-
ness, cure the palate of my heart that I may taste and
see how sweet is Thy love. Heal all my ills, that hence-
forth I may find sweetness in nothing out of Thee. O
most pure and most delicious bread that art able to satisfy
the taste of every man; day by day Thou comfortest us,
nor dost Thou ever fail us. May my heart ever be nour-
ished by Thee and may the sweet savor of Thee penetrate
the innermost depth of my being. The angels feed on
Thee to their full content: suffer man, on his journey
through this vale of tears, to feed on Thee to the best
of his ability, lest, unrefreshed by this one Viaticum, he
faint by the way.

O Thou holy. bread, Thou living bread, Thou pure
bread, that, coming down from heaven, dost give life to the
world, enter into my heart and wash away every stain both
of flesh and of spirit. Choose my heart for Thy dwelling-

Thou my sure defence; be Thou to me an abiding help for
soul and hody; scatter the crafty enemies that lie in wait to
ruin me; may they flee from the dread presence of Thy
Majesty. As for me, safeguarded by Thee in soul and in

reach Thy kingdom, where—not in dim mysteries, as in
this dark world of ours, but—face to face we shall look

Hymn of Si. Thomas Aquinas

copHeAD hid, devoutly I adore Thee,

Who truly art within the forms before me;
To Thee my heart I bow with bended knee,
As failing quite in contemplating Thee.
Sight, touch, and taste in Thee are each deceived;
The ear alone most safely is believed:
I believe all the Son of God has spoken,
Than Truth's own word there is no truer token.

God only on the cross lay hid from view;

But here lies hid at once the manhood too:
And I, in both professing my belief,

Make the same prayer as the repentant thief.

Thy wounds, as Thomas saw, I do not see:
Yet ‘Thee confess my Lord and God to be:
Make me believe ‘Thee ever more and more;
In Thee my hope, in Thee my love to store.

O Thou memorial of Our Lord's own dying!

O living bread, to mortals life supplying!

Make ‘Thou my soul henceforth on Thee to live:
Ever a taste of heavenly sweetness give.

'O loving Pelican! O Jesu Lord!

Unclean I am, but clean I am in Thy blood .
Of which a single drop, for sinners spilt,

Can purge the entire world from all its guilt.
Jesu! Whom for the present veil'd I see,
"What I so thirst for, oh, vouchsafe to me:
That I may see Thy countenance unfolding,
And may be blest Thy glory in beholding.

(Composed by Archbishop Carroll)

E PRAY Thee, O almighty and eternal God! Who
through Jesus Christ hast revealed Thy glory to all
nations, to preserve the works of Thy mercy, that Thy
Church, being. spread through the whole world, may con-
tinue with unchanging faith in the confession of Thy name.
We pray Thee, Who alone art good and holy, to endow
with heavenly knowledge, sincere zeal, and sanctity of life,
our chief bishop, N.N., the vicar of Our Lord Jesus Christ,
in the government of His Church; our own bishop, N.N., (or,
if he be not consecrated, our bishop-elect) ; all other bishops,
prelates, and pastors of the Church; and especially those
who are appointed to exercise among us the functions of
the holy ministry, and conduct Thy people into the ways
of salvation. :

We pray Thee, O God of might, wisdom, end justice!
through Whom authority is rightly administered, laws are
enacted, and judgment decreed, assist with Thy holy spirit
of counsel and fortitude the President of the United States,
that his administration may be conducted in righteousness,
and be eminently useful to Thy people over whom he pre-
sides; by encouraging due respect for virtue and religion; by
@ faithful execution of the laws in justice and mercy; and
by restraining vice and immorality. Let the light of Thy
divine wisdom direct the deliberations of Congress, and
shine forth in all the proceedings and laws framed for our

rule and government, so that they may tend to the preserva-
tion of peace, the promotion of national happiness, the in-
crease of industry, sobriety, and useful knowledge; and may
perpetuate to us the blessing of equal liberty.

We pray for his Excellency, the Governor of this State,
for the members of the Assembly, for all judges, magistrates,
and other officers who are appointed to guard our political
welfare, that they may be enabled, by Thy powerful protec-
tion, to discharge the duties of their respective stations with
honesty and ability.

We recommend likewise to Thy unbounded mercy all our
brethren and fellow-citizens throughout the United States,
that théy may be blessed in the knowledge and sanctified iu
the observance of Thy most holy law; that they may, be
preserved in union, and in that peace which the world can
not give; and after enjoying the blessings of this life, be
admitted to those which are eternal.

Finally, we pray to Thee, O Lord of mercy, to remember
the souls of Thy servants departed who are gone before us
with the sign of faith, and repose in the sleep of peace;
the souls of our parents, relatives, and friends; of those
who, when living, were members of this congregation, and
particularly of such as are lately deceased; of all bene-
factors who, by their donations or legacies to this church,
witnessed their zeal for the decency of divine worship and
proved their claim to our grateful and charitable remem-
brance. To these, O Lord, and to all that rest in Christ,
grant, we beseech Thee, a place of refreshment, light, and
everlasting peace, through the same Jesus Christ, Our Lord
and Saviour. Amen.

indeed, have néver known Thee; many, too, despising Thy
precepts, have rejected Thee. Have mercy on them all,
most merciful Jesus, and draw them to Thy Sacred Heart.
Be Thou King, O Lord, not only of the faithful who have
never forsaken Thee, but also of the prodigal children who
have abandoned Thee; grant that they may quickly re-
turn to their Father’s house, lest they die of wretchedness
and hunger. Be Thou King of all those who are still in-
volved in the darkness of idolatry or of Islamism, and re-

Q SWEET Jesus, Whose overflowing charity for men is

J requited by so much forgetfulness, negligence and

repair by a special act of homage the cruel indifference
and injuries to which Thy loving Heart is everywhere
subject.

Mindful alas! that we ourselves have had a share in
such great indignities, which we now deplore from the

clare our. readiness to atone by voluntary expiation not
only for our own personal offences, but also for the sins
of those, who, straying far from the path of salvation,
refuse in their ‘obstinate infidelity to follow Thee, their
Shepherd and Leader, or, renouncing the vows of their
baptism, have cast off the sweet yoke of Thy law.

"We are now resolved to expiate each and every deplor-
able outrage committed against Thee; we are determined
to make amends for the manifold offences against Chris-
tian modesty in unbecoming dress and behavior, for all the
foul seductions laid to ensnare the feet of the innocent,
for the frequent violation of Sundays and holy-days, and
the shocking blasphemies uttered against Thee and Thy
saints. We wish also to make amends for the insults to
which Thy Vicar on earth and Thy priests are subjected,

for the profanation, by conscious neglect or terrible acts
of sacrilege, of the very Sacrament of Thy divine love; and
lastly for the public crimes of nations who resist the rights
and the teaching authority of the Church which Thou
hast founded. : :

Would, O divine Jesus, we were ablé to wash away such
abominations with our blood. We now offer, in reparation
for these violations of Thy divine honor, the, satisfac-
tion Thou didst once make to Thy eternal Father on the
cross and which Thou dost continue to renew daily on our
altars; we offer it in union with the acts of atonement of
Thy Virgin Mother and all the saints and of the pious
faithful on earth; and we sincerely promise to make recom-
pense, as far as we can, with the help of Thy grace, for all
neglect of Thy great love and for the sins we and others
have committed in the past. Henceforth we will live a life
of unwavering faith, of. purity of conduct, of perfect ob-
Sservance of the precepts of the Gospel and especially that
of charity. We promise to the best of our power to prevent
others from offending Thee and to bring as many as pose
sible to follow Thee. . CES

O loving Jesus, through the intercession of the Blessed
Virgin Mary our model in reparation, deign to receive the
voluntary offering we make of this act of expiation; and by
tbe crowning gift of perseverance keep us faithful unto death
in our duty and the allegiance we owe to Thee, so that we
may all one day come to that happy home, where Thou with
the Father and the Holy Ghost livest and reignest God,
world without end. ‘Amen,
