Incipit
secreto
Pater noster, qui es in cælis, sanctificétur nomen tuum: advéniat regnum tuum: fiat volúntas tua, sicut in cælo et in terra. Panem nostrum quotidiánum da nobis hódie: et dimítte nobis débita nostra, sicut et nos dimíttimus debitóribus nostris: et ne nos indúcas in tentatiónem: sed líbera nos a malo. Amen.
Ave María, grátia plena; Dóminus tecum: benedícta tu in muliéribus, et benedíctus fructus ventris tui Jesus. Sancta María, Mater Dei, ora pro nobis peccatóribus, nunc et in hora mortis nostræ. Amen.
Credo in Deum, Patrem omnipoténtem, Creatórem cæli et terræ. Et in Jesum Christum, Fílium ejus únicum, Dóminum nostrum: qui concéptus est de Spíritu Sancto, natus ex María Vírgine,
passus sub Póntio Piláto, crucifíxus, mórtuus, et sepúltus: descéndit ad ínferos; tértia die resurréxit a mórtuis; ascéndit ad cælos; sedet ad déxteram Dei Patris omnipoténtis: inde ventúrus est judicáre vivos et mórtuos. Credo in Spíritum Sanctum, sanctam Ecclésiam cathólicam,
Sanctórum communiónem, remissiónem peccatórum, carnis resurrectiónem, vitam ætérnam. Amen.
Deinde, clara voce, dicitur Versus:
℣. Dómine, lábia +︎ mea apéries.
℟. Et os meum annuntiábit laudem tuam.
℣. Deus ✠ in adjutórium meum inténde.
℟. Dómine, ad adjuvándum me festína.
Glória Patri, et Fílio, * et Spirítui Sancto.
Sicut erat in princípio, et nunc, et semper, * et in sǽcula sæculórum. Amen.
Allelúja.

Start
silently
Our Father, who art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation: But deliver us from evil. Amen.
Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee; blessed art thou amongst women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death. Amen.
I believe in God, the Father almighty, Creator of heaven and earth. And in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord; who was conceived by the Holy Ghost, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died and was buried: he descended into hell; the third day he arose again from the dead; he ascended into heaven; sitteth at the right hand of God the Father almighty: from thence he shall come to judge the living and the dead. I believe in the Holy Ghost, the holy catholic Church, the communion of Saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and life everlasting. Amen.
Thereafter, with hearable voice, the Versicle is said:
℣. O Lord, +︎ open thou my lips.
℟. And my mouth shall declare thy praise.
℣. O God, ✠ come to my assistance;
℟. O Lord, make haste to help me.
Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, * and to the Holy Ghost.
As it was in the beginning, is now, * and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.
Alleluia.

Come let us praise the Lord with joy: let us joyfully sing to God our saviour. Let us come before his presence with thanksgiving; and make a joyful noise to him with psalms.

For the sea is his, and he made it: and his hands formed the dry land. (genuflect) Come let us adore and fall down: and weep before the Lord that made us: For he is the Lord our God: and we are the people of his pasture and the sheep of his hand.
Ant. The Lord, the King of Confessors, * O come, let us worship.
Today if you shall hear his voice, harden not your hearts: As in the provocation, according to the day of temptation in the wilderness: where your fathers tempted me, they proved me, and saw my works.
Ant. O come, let us worship.
Forty years long was I offended with that generation, and I said: These always err in heart. And these men have not known my ways: so I swore in my wrath that they shall not enter into my rest.

Hymnus {ex Commune aut Festo}
Iste Conféssor Dómini, coléntes
Quem pie laudant pópuli per orbem,
Hac die lætus méruit suprémos
Laudis honóres.
Qui pius, prudens, húmilis, pudícus,
Sóbriam duxit sine labe vitam,
Donec humános animávit auræ
Spíritus artus.
Cujus ob præstans méritum, frequénter,
Ægra quæ passim jacuére membra,
Víribus morbi dómitis, salúti
Restituúntur.
Noster hinc illi chorus obsequéntem
Cóncinit laudem celebrésque palmas,
Ut piis ejus précibus juvémur
Omne per ævum.
Sit salus illi, decus atque virtus,
Qui, super cæli sólio corúscans,
Tótius mundi sériem gubérnat,
Trinus et unus.
Amen.

Hymn {from the Common or Feast}
This the confessor of the Lord, whose triumph
Now all the faithful celebrate, with gladness
On this feast day year by year receiveth
Merited honors.
Saintly and prudent, modest in behaviour,
Peaceful and sober, chaste was he, and lowly.
While that life’s vigour, coursing through his members,
Quickened his being.
Sick ones of old time, to his tomb resorting,
Sorely by ailments manifold afflicted,
Oft-times have welcomed health and strength returning,
At his petition.
Whence we in chorus gladly do him honour,
Chanting his praises with devout affection,
That in his merits we may have a portion,
Now and forever.
His be the glory, power and salvation,
Who over all things reigneth in the highest,
Earth’s mighty fabric ruling and directing,
Onely and Trinal.
Amen.

13 And the king answered the people roughly, leaving the counsel of the old men, which they had given him,
14 And he spoke to them according to the counsel of the young men, saying: My father made your yoke heavy, but I will add to your yoke: my father beat you with whips, but I will beat you with scorpions.
15 And the king condescended not to the people: for the Lord was turned away from him, to make good his word, which he had spoken in the hand of Ahias the Silonite, to Jeroboam the son of Nabat.
16 Then the people seeing that the king would not hearken to them, answered him, saying: What portion have we in David? or what inheritance in the son of Isai? Go home to thy dwellings, O Israel, now David look to thy own house. So Israel departed to their dwellings.

Ant. Let God arise, * and let his enemies be scattered. ‡
Psalm 67(2-11) [4]
67:2 Let God arise, and let his enemies be scattered: * ‡ and let them that hate him flee from before his face.

67:4 And let the just feast, and rejoice before God: * and be delighted with gladness.
67:5 Sing ye to God, sing a psalm to his name, * make a way for him who ascendeth upon the west: (bow head) The Lord is his name.
67:5 Rejoice ye before him: * but the wicked shall be troubled at his presence, who is the father of orphans, and the judge of widows.
67:6 God in his holy place: * God who maketh men of one manner to dwell in a house:
67:7 Who bringeth out them that were bound in strength; * in like manner them that provoke, that dwell in sepulchres.
67:8 O God, when thou didst go forth in the sight of thy people, * when thou didst pass through the desert:
67:9 The earth was moved, and the heavens dropped at the presence of the God of Sinai, * at the presence of the God of Israel.

67:14 Si dormiátis inter médios cleros, pennæ colúmbæ deargentátæ, * et posterióra dorsi ejus in pallóre auri.
67:15 Dum discérnit cæléstis reges super eam, nive dealbabúntur in Selmon: * mons Dei, mons pinguis.
67:16 Mons coagulátus, mons pinguis: * ut quid suspicámini montes coagulátos?
67:17 Mons, in quo beneplácitum est Deo habitáre in eo: * étenim Dóminus habitábit in finem.
67:18 Currus Dei decem míllibus múltiplex, míllia lætántium: * Dóminus in eis in Sina in sancto.

Ant. Our God * is the God of salvation: and the Lord of the issues from death.
Psalm 67(12-24) [5]
67:12 The Lord shall give the word to them that preach good tidings, * with great power.
67:13 The king of powers is of the beloved, * of the beloved; and the beauty of the house shall divide spoils.
67:14 If you sleep among the midst of lots, you shall be as the wings of a dove covered with silver, * and the hinder parts of her back with the paleness of gold.
67:15 When he that is in heaven appointeth kings over her, * they shall be whited with snow in Selmon.
67:16 The mountain of God is a fat mountain, a curdled mountain, a fat mountain; * Why suspect, ye curdled mountains?
67:17 A mountain in which God is well pleased to dwell: * for there the Lord shall dwell unto the end.
67:18 The chariot of God is attended by ten thousands; thousands of them that rejoice: * the Lord is among them in Sinai, in the holy place.
67:19 Thou hast ascended on high, thou hast led captivity captive; * thou hast received gifts in men.
67:19 Yea for those also that do not believe, * the dwelling of the Lord God.
67:20 Blessed be the Lord day by day: * the God of our salvation will make our journey prosperous to us.
67:21 Our God is the God of salvation: * and of the Lord, of the Lord are the issues from death.
67:22 But God shall break the heads of his enemies: * the hairy crown of them that walk on in their sins.
67:23 The Lord said: I will turn them from Basan, * I will turn them into the depth of the sea:
67:24 That thy foot may be dipped in the blood of thy enemies; * the tongue of thy dogs be red with the same.
℣. Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, * and to the Holy Ghost.
℟. As it was in the beginning, is now, * and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.
Ant. Our God is the God of salvation: and the Lord of the issues from death.

Camillus Bucclánici, Theatinæ diœcesis oppido, ex nobili Lelliórum família natus est matre sexagenaria, cui gravidæ visum est per quietem, puerulum crucis signo in péctore munítum, et ágmini puerórum idem signum gestántium præeuntem, se peperisse. Adoléscens rem militarem secutus, sæculi vitiis aliquámdiu indulsit; donec, vigesimum quintum agens ætátis annum, tanto supernæ gratiæ lúmine divinæque offensæ dolóre correptus fuit, ut uberrimo lacrimárum imbre íllico perfusus, anteáctæ vitæ sordes indesinenter abstérgere, novumque indúere hóminem firmiter decreverit. Quare ipso, quo id cóntigit, Purificatiónis beatíssimæ Vírginis festo die, ad fratres Minores, quos Capuccinos vocant, cónvolans, ut eórum número adscriberétur summis precibus exorávit.

Camillus was a son of the noble family of the Lelli, and was born at Bacchianico, a town in the Diocese of Chieti, in the Abruzzi, in the year of our Lord 1550. His mother was sixty years of age at the time of his birth. While she was great with child, she dreamed that she brought forth a babe bearing the mark of a Cross upon his breast, and going before a troop of other babes marked likewise. When Camillus was a young man he served as a soldier, and yielded himself for a while to the sins of the world. In the twenty-fifth year of his age light from God broke upon him and in a violent fit of tears he determined to wipe away the evil relics of his past life, and to put on the new man. That very day, being the holiday of the Purification of the Most Blessed Virgin, he ran to the Friars Minors, who are commonly called Capuchins, and implored them to enrol him among them. They granted his wishes, but God was keeping him for greater things, and on this as well as on another occasion when he made the same attempt he was forced to abandon it by the increasing virulence of a loathsome running sore in the leg, with which he was afflicted. He meekly bowed himself to the will of Providence, and conquering his own wishes twice, stripped himself of the habit of the Order, which he had sought and received.
℣. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.
℟. Thanks be to God.
℟. The Lord made him honourable, and defended him from his enemies, and kept him safe from those that lay in wait for him;
* And gave him perpetual glory.
℣. He went down with him into the pit, and left him not in bonds.
℟. And gave him perpetual glory.

Romam profectus, in nosocomíum, quod Insanabílium dícitur, recéptus est; cujus étiam administratiónem, ob perspectas ejus virtútes sibi demandatam, summa integritate, ac sollicitúdine vere paterna peregit. Omnium ægrotum servum se réputans, eórum stérnere lectulos, sordes térgere, ulcéribus medéri, agoníque extremo piis precibus et cohortatiónibus opem ferre solemne hábuit; quibus in munéribus præclára præbuit admirábilis patiéntiæ, invictæ fortitúdinis et heróicæ caritátis exempla. Verum, cum animárum in extremis periclitántium, quod únice intendébat, levámini subsidium litterárum plurimum conférre intellígeret, trigínta duos annos natus in primis grammaticæ elementis tirocinium inter púeros íterum subire non erubuit.

Nam Camillus, cælésti voce e Christi crucifixi, manus étiam de ligno avulsas admirando prodigio protendentis, simulacro emissa mirabíliter confírmatus, ordinem suum a Sede apostolica approbari obtinuit; sodálibus quarto obstrictis maxime arduo voto, infirmis, quos étiam pestis infécerit, ministrandi. Quod institutum, quam foret Deo acceptum et animárum salúti proficuum, sanctus Philippus Nerius, qui Camillo a sacris confessiónibus erat, comprobávit, dum ejus alumnis decedéntium agoni opem feréntibus Angelos suggeréntes verba sæpius se vidisse testátus est.

He went to Rome and was received as an inmate in the Hospital for Incurables. In consequence of his eminent good qualities the administration of the Hospital was committed to his charge, and he discharged this office with the most thorough trustworthiness and with a tenderness like a father's. He counted himself the slave of all the patients, and made it a religious duty to make their beds, clean them, dress their sores, and help by godly prayers and exhortations such as were in their last agony. In doing these things he showed himself a bright example of wonderful patience, indomitable firmness, and heroic charity. He became persuaded that a knowledge of letters would make him much more useful as a comforter to the dying, who were his peculiar care, and therefore, at the age of thirty-two years, he humbly went to school again, among little boys learning the first rudiments. After a time he took Priests' orders, and, in company with some companions who joined him, he laid the first foundations of the Congregation of Regular Clerks for ministering to the sick a scheme against which the enemy of man made an unsuccessful struggle. Camillus heard a voice from heaven issue from an image of Christ Crucified, strengthening him, and saw the nailed hands stretched out from the Cross to protect him He obtained from the Apostolic see an approval of his Institute, the members of which, (besides the three vows of Poverty, Chastity, and Obedience,) take a fourth and very stern one, by which they bind themselves to serve all sick persons, even those stricken with the plague. Holy Philip Neri, who was Confessor to Camillus, testified that he had often seen Angels prompting the members of this Congregation what they should speak when they were assisting the dying, a proof how well-pleasing in the sight of God, and how useful for the salvation of souls, is this Institution.
℣. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.

Arctióribus hisce vinculis ægrotántium ministerio mancipatus, mirum est qua alacritate, nullis fractus labóribus, nullis deterritus vitæ periculis, diu noctuque ad supremum usque spíritum, eórum cómmodis vigilaverit. Omnibus ómnia factus, vilíssima quæque offícia demissíssimo obsequio flexísque plerumque genibus, véluti Christum ipsum cérneret in infirmis, hílari promptoque animo arripiébat; utque ómnium indigéntiis præsto esset, generalem ordinis præfecturam, cælique delicias quibus in contemplatióne defixus affluebat, sponte dimísit. Paternus vero illíus erga míseros amor tum maxime effulsit, dum et Urbs contagióso morbo primum, deínde extrema annonæ laboráret inópia, et Nolæ in Campánia dira pestis grassarétur. Tanta denique in Deum et próximum caritate exársit, ut angelus nuncupari, et Angelórum opem in vario itinerum discrímine experíri promererétur. Prophetíæ dono et grátia sanitátum præditus, arcana quoque cordium inspéxit; ejusque precibus nunc cibária multiplicáti sunt, nunc aqua in vinum conversa. Tandem vigiliis, jejuniis et assiduis attritus labóribus, cum pelle tantum et óssibus constare viderétur, quinque molestis æque ac diútinis morbis, quos misericórdias Dómini appellabat, fortiter tolerátis, sacramentis munítus, Romæ, inter suavíssima Jesu et Maríæ nómina, ad ea verba: Mitis atque festivus Christi Jesu tibi aspectus appareat; qua prædixerat hora, obdormívit in Dómino, pridie Idus Julii, anno salútis millesimo sexcentésimo décimo quarto, ætátis suæ sexagesimo quinto. Quem, plúribus illustrem miraculis, Benedíctus décimus quartus solemni ritu Sanctórum fastis adscripsit; et Leo décimus tértius, ex Sacrórum cathólici orbis antístitum voto ac Rítuum Congregatiónis consúlto, cæléstem ómnium hospitálium et infirmórum ubíque degéntium patrónum declarávit, ipsiúsque nomen in agonizántium litaníis invocári præcépit.

Then he had thus given himself entirely over by these strict ties to the service of the sick, it was wonderful to see with what earnestness Camillus, broken by no weariness, and scared by no danger to himself, watched over their comfort by day and by night as long as life lasted. Becoming all things to all men, he took with cheerful readiness the most repulsive duties, discharging them with the most humble attention, and oftentimes on his knees, as though he saw Christ Himself in His suffering members. That he might be the readier to serve every one's need, he resigned the general government of his own Institute, and denied himself the indulgence in the heavenly refreshment which abundantly poured upon him, when he fixed his mind solely upon God. His tender, fatherly love toward the wretched had its brightest manifestations when Rome was stricken first by a contagious sickness, and then by famine, and Nola in Campagna suffered from a frightful plague. His love to God and to his neighbour was so glorious that he earned the nickname of Angel, and found Angels helping him in the difficulties of his diverse journeyings. He had the gifts of prophecy and healing, and could read the secret thoughts of men's hearts. At his prayer, food was multiplied, and water turned into wine. His want of sleep, fasting, and unceasing work wore him down till he seemed nothing but skin and bones. He suffered from a complication of five different painful and incurable diseases, which he was accustomed to call the Lord's mercies to him, and which he bore bravely. He died at Rome on the day which he had himself foretold, the fourteenth of July, in the year of salvation 1614, and of his own age the 65th. He had received the Sacraments, and fell asleep in the Lord in an attempt to utter the sweet names of Jesus and Mary, while the Priest was reciting the words of the Ritual: "Gentle and joyous may the Countenance of Christ Jesus appear to thee." He was famous for many miracles, and Benedict XIV solemnly enrolled him in the Kalendar of the Saints.
℣. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.
℟. Thanks be to God.
℟. This is he which did according unto all that God commanded him; and God said unto him: Enter thou into My rest,

68:14 In multitúdine misericórdiæ tuæ exáudi me, * in veritáte salútis tuæ:
68:15 Éripe me de luto, ut non infígar: * líbera me ab iis, qui odérunt me, et de profúndis aquárum.
68:16 Non me demérgat tempéstas aquæ, neque absórbeat me profúndum: * neque úrgeat super me púteus os suum.
68:17 Exáudi me, Dómine, quóniam benígna est misericórdia tua: * secúndum multitúdinem miseratiónum tuárum réspice in me.
68:18 Et ne avértas fáciem tuam a púero tuo: * quóniam tríbulor, velóciter exáudi me.
68:19 Inténde ánimæ meæ, et líbera eam: * propter inimícos meos éripe me.
68:20 Tu scis impropérium meum, et confusiónem meam, * et reveréntiam meam.
68:21 In conspéctu tuo sunt omnes qui tríbulant me: * impropérium exspectávit cor meum, et misériam.
68:21 Et sustínui qui simul contristarétur, et non fuit: * et qui consolarétur, et non invéni.
68:22 Et dedérunt in escam meam fel: * et in siti mea potavérunt me acéto.
68:23 Fiat mensa eórum coram ipsis in láqueum, * et in retributiónes, et in scándalum.
68:24 Obscuréntur óculi eórum ne vídeant: * et dorsum eórum semper incúrva.
68:25 Effúnde super eos iram tuam: * et furor iræ tuæ comprehéndat eos.
68:26 Fiat habitátio eórum desérta: * et in tabernáculis eórum non sit qui inhábitet.
68:27 Quóniam quem tu percussísti, persecúti sunt: * et super dolórem vúlnerum meórum addidérunt.
68:28 Appóne iniquitátem super iniquitátem eórum: * et non intrent in justítiam tuam.
68:29 Deleántur de libro vivéntium: * et cum justis non scribántur.

Ant. O Lord, save me * from my enemies.
Psalm 68(14-29) [8]
68:14 In the multitude of thy mercy hear me, * in the truth of thy salvation.
68:15 Draw me out of the mire, that I may not stick fast: * deliver me from them that hate me, and out of the deep waters.
68:16 Let not the tempest of water drown me, nor the deep swallow me up: * and let not the pit shut her mouth upon me.
68:17 Hear me, O Lord, for thy mercy is kind; * look upon me according to the multitude of thy tender mercies.
68:18 And turn not away thy face from thy servant: * for I am in trouble, hear me speedily.
68:19 Attend to my soul, and deliver it: * save me because of my enemies.
68:20 Thou knowest my reproach, and my confusion, * and my shame.
68:21 In thy sight are all they that afflict me; * my heart hath expected reproach and misery.
68:21 And I looked for one that would grieve together with me, * but there was none: and for one that would comfort me, and I found none.
68:22 And they gave me gall for my food, * and in my thirst they gave me vinegar to drink.
68:23 Let their table become as a snare before them, * and a recompense, and a stumblingblock.
68:24 Let their eyes be darkened that they see not; * and their back bend thou down always.
68:25 Pour out thy indignation upon them: * and let thy wrathful anger take hold of them.
68:26 Let their habitation be made desolate: * and let there be none to dwell in their tabernacles.
68:27 Because they have persecuted him whom thou hast smitten; * and they have added to the grief of my wounds.
68:28 Add thou iniquity upon their iniquity: * and let them not come into thy justice.
68:29 Let them be blotted out of the book of the living; * and with the just let them not be written.
℣. Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, * and to the Holy Ghost.
℟. As it was in the beginning, is now, * and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.

Léctio sancti Evangélii secúndum Joánnem
Joannes 15:12-16
In illo témpore: Dixit Jesus discípulis suis: Hoc est præcéptum meum, ut diligátis invicem, sicut diléxi vos. Et réliqua.
Homilía sancti Augustíni Epíscopi
Tractátus 83 in Joánnem
Quid putamus, fratres mei? numquidnam solum ejus de ista dilectióne mandátum est, qua dilígimus invicem? Nonne est et aliud majus, ut diligámus Deum? Aut vero de sola Deus nobis dilectióne mandávit, ut alia non requiramus? Tria certe commendat Apóstolus, dicens: Manent autem fides, spes, caritas, tria hæc, major autem horum caritas. Et, si in caritate, hoc est, in dilectióne, concludúntur duo illa præcepta, major tamen dicta est esse, non sola. De fide ígitur nobis quam multa mandáta sunt, quam multa de spe! Quis potest cuncta colligere, quis enumerando sufficere? Sed intueamur, quod ait idem Apóstolus: Plenitúdo legis caritas.
℣. Tu autem, Dómine, miserére nobis.
℟. Deo grátias.
℟. Iste est qui ante Deum magnas virtútes operátus est, et de omni corde suo laudávit Dóminum:
* Ipse intercédat pro peccátis ómnium populórum.
℣. Ecce homo sine queréla, verus Dei cultor, ábstinens se ab omni ópere malo, et pérmanens in innocéntia sua.

From the Holy Gospel according to John
John 15:12-16
At that time, Jesus said unto His disciples: This is My commandment, That ye love one another, as I have loved you. And so on.
Homily by St. Augustine, Bishop of Hippo
83rd Tract on John
What think ye, my brethren? Is this His only commandment, this, That we love one another? Is there not another and a greater, the commandment to love God? Or hath God commanded us only to love, so that we need seek to do no more? Surely the Apostle commendeth three things: And now abideth Faith, Hope, Charity, these three but the greatest of these is Charity. 1 Cor. xiii. 13. And although in charity, that is, in love, he included the two first and great commandments, and charity he called the greatest, yet is charity not said to be alone. Concerning Faith, concerning Hope, how much is commanded us? Who can gather them all together? Who can reckon them all? And yet let us consider how the same Apostle saith: Love is the fulfilling of the Law. Rom. xiii. 10.
℣. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.
℟. Thanks be to God.
℟. This is he which wrought great wonders before God, and praised the Lord with all his heart.
* May he pray for all people, that their sins may be forgiven unto them.
℣. Behold a man without blame, a worshipper of God in truth, keeping himself clean from every evil work, and abiding still in his innocency.
℟. May he pray for all people, that their sins may be forgiven unto them.

℣. Jube, domne, benedícere.
Benedictio. Cujus festum cólimus, ipse intercédat pro nobis ad Dóminum. Amen.

Ubi ergo caritas est, quid est quod possit deésse? ubi autem non est, quid est quod possit prodesse? Dæmon credit, nec díligit: nemo díligit, qui non credit. Frustra quidem, sed tamen potest speráre véniam qui non díligit; nemo autem potest desperáre qui díligit. Itaque ubi diléctio est, ibi necessario fides et spes; et, ubi diléctio próximi, ibi necessario étiam diléctio Dei. Qui enim non díligit Deum, quómodo díligit próximum tamquam se ipsum? Quandóquidem non díligit et se ipsum. Est quippe ímpius et iníquus; qui autem díligit iniquitátem, non plane díligit, sed odit ánimam suam.
℣. Tu autem, Dómine, miserére nobis.
℟. Deo grátias.
℟. Sint lumbi vestri præcíncti, et lucérnæ ardéntes in mánibus vestris:
* Et vos símiles homínibus exspectántibus dóminum suum, quando revertátur a núptiis.
℣. Vigiláte ergo, quia nescítis qua hora Dóminus vester ventúrus sit.
℟. Et vos símiles homínibus exspectántibus dóminum suum, quando revertátur a núptiis.

Where therefore, Charity is, what can be lacking or where Charity is not, what can there be availing? The devil believeth and loveth not, but there is no one that loveth and believeth not. Useless though it be, it is still possible for one that loveth not, to hope to be forgiven but for one that loveth it is impossible to give up hope. Therefore, where love is, there also must faith and hope needs be, and where there is love toward our neighbour there also must there needs be love toward God. For one that loveth not God, how can he love his neighbour as himself, seeing he hateth himself, for he is a blasphemous, wicked wretch, and the lover of wickedness is not the lover, but the deadly enemy of his own self.
℣. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.
℟. Thanks be to God.
℟. Let your loins be girded about, and your lights burning;
* And ye yourselves like unto men that wait for their lord, when he will return from the wedding.

Commemoratio pro Ss. Symphorosa et septem filiis Martyribus
Symphorosa Tiburtina, Getulii Mártyris uxor, ex eo septem fílios péperit, Crescéntium, Julianum, Nemesium, Primitivum, Justinum, Stacteum, et Eugenium; qui omnes propter christianæ fidei professiónem una cum matre, Hadriáno imperatóre, comprehénsi sunt. Quorum pietas, multis variisque tentáta suppliciis, cum stábilis permanéret, mater, quæ fíliis fidei magistra fúerat, dux eisdem ad martyrium éxstitit. Nam, saxo ad collum alligato, in profluentem dejícitur: cujus corpus, conquisítum a fratre ejus Eugenio, sepelítur. Postridie ejus diéi, qui fuit décimo quinto Kalendas Augusti, septem fratres singuli ad palum alligati, varie sunt interfécti: Crescentio guttur ferro transfígitur; Juliáno pectus confóditur; Nemesio cor transverberátur; Primitivo trajícitur umbilicus; Justinus membratim secátur; Stacteus telis confígitur; Eugenius a péctore in duas partes dividitur. Ita octo hostiæ Deo gratíssimæ sunt immolátæ. Corpora in altíssimam fóveam projecta sunt via Tiburtina, nono ab Urbe lápide; quæ, póstea Romam translata, cóndita sunt in ecclésia sancti Angeli in piscina.
℣. Tu autem, Dómine, miserére nobis.

Commemoration for Ss. Symphorosa and Seven Sons, Martyrs
Symphorosa was a woman of Tivoli, the wife of the martyr Getulius, unto whom she bore seven sons, named respectively, Crescentius, Julian, Nemesius, Primitivus, Justin, Stacteus, and Eugene, all of whom were arrested along with their mother, in the reign of the Emperor Hadrian, for professing the Christian faith. Their love was tried by many and diverse torments, and their mother who had taught them their religion, was their leader to martyrdom. A stone was tied round her neck and she was thrown into the river. Her body was found and buried by her brother Eugene. The next day, being the 18th of July, the seven brethren were tied each to a stake, and all put to death in diverse ways. Crescentius was stabbed in the throat, Julian in the breast, Nemesius in the heart, and Primitivus in the navel. Justin was hacked limb from limb. Stacteus was shot to death with darts. Eugene was cut into two parts across his breast, (from the head downwards.) Thus were these eight sacrifices of sweet savour offered up to God. Their bodies were thrown into a deep pit, on the road between Rome and Tivoli, at the ninth milestone from Rome, but were afterwards brought to Rome and buried in the Church of the Holy Angel-in-the-Fish-market.
℣. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.
℟. Thanks be to God.
Te Deum
We praise thee, O God, * we acknowledge thee to be the Lord.
All the earth doth worship thee, * the Father everlasting.
To thee all Angels cry aloud, * the Heavens, and all the Powers therein.

bow head Holy, Holy, Holy * Lord God of Sabaoth;
Heaven and earth are full * of the Majesty of thy glory.
The glorious company of the Apostles * praise thee.
The goodly fellowship of the Prophets * praise thee.
The noble army of Martyrs * praise thee.
The holy Church throughout all the world * doth acknowledge thee;
The Father, * of an infinite Majesty.
Thine honourable, true, * and only Son;
Also the Holy Ghost, * the Comforter.
Thou art the King of Glory, * O Christ.
Thou art the everlasting * Son of the Father.
During the following verse all make a profound bow: When thou tookest upon thee to deliver man, * thou didst not abhor the Virgin's womb.
When thou hadst overcome the sharpness of death, * thou didst open the Kingdom of Heaven to all believers.
Thou sittest at the right hand of God, * in the glory of the Father.
We believe that thou shalt come * to be our Judge.
Kneel for the following verse
We therefore pray thee, help thy servants, * whom thou hast redeemed with thy precious Blood.
Make them to be numbered with thy Saints, * in glory everlasting.
O Lord, save thy people, * and bless thine heritage.
Govern them, * and lift them up for ever.
Day by day * we magnify thee;
During the following verse, by local custom, all make a profound bow. And we worship thy Name * ever, world without end.
Vouchsafe, O Lord, to keep us * this day without sin.
O Lord, have mercy upon us, * have mercy upon us.
O Lord, let thy mercy lighten upon us, * as our trust is in thee.
O Lord, in thee have I trusted, * let me never be confounded.
