Et sústulit viríliter,
Fundénsque pro te sánguinem,
Ætérna dona póssidet.

Hymn {from the Common or Feast}
O God, of those that fought thy fight,
Portion, and prize, and crown of light,
Break every bond of sin and shame
As now we praise thy martyr's name.
He recked not of the world's allure,
But sin and pomp of sin forswore:
Knew all their gall, and passed them by,
And reached the throne prepared on high.
Bravely the course of pain he ran,
And bare his torments as a man:
For love of thee his blood outpoured,
And thus obtained the great reward.
With humble voice and suppliant word
We pray thee therefore, holy Lord,
While we thy martyr's feast-day keep,
Forgive thy loved and erring sheep.
Glory and praise for aye be done
To God the Father, and the Son,
And Holy Ghost, who reign on high,
One God, to all eternity.
Amen.

34:18 I will give thanks to thee in a great church; * I will praise thee in a strong people.
34:19 Let not them that are my enemies wrongfully rejoice over me: * who have hated me without cause, and wink with the eyes.

36:8 Cease from anger, and leave rage; * have no emulation to do evil.
36:9 For the evildoers shall be cut off: * but they that wait upon the Lord shall inherit the land.

37:12 Et qui iuxta me erant, de longe stetérunt: * et vim faciébant qui quærébant ánimam meam.
37:13 Et qui inquirébant mala mihi, locúti sunt vanitátes: * et dolos tota die meditabántur.
37:14 Ego autem tamquam surdus non audiébam: * et sicut mutus non apériens os suum.
37:15 Et factus sum sicut homo non áudiens: * et non habens in ore suo redargutiónes.
37:16 Quóniam in te, Dómine, sperávi: * tu exáudies me, Dómine, Deus meus.
37:17 Quia dixi: Nequándo supergáudeant mihi inimíci mei: * et dum commovéntur pedes mei, super me magna locúti sunt.
37:18 Quóniam ego in flagélla parátus sum: * et dolor meus in conspéctu meo semper.
37:19 Quóniam iniquitátem meam annuntiábo: * et cogitábo pro peccáto meo.
37:20 Inimíci autem mei vivunt, et confirmáti sunt super me: * et multiplicáti sunt qui odérunt me iníque.
37:21 Qui retríbuunt mala pro bonis, detrahébant mihi: * quóniam sequébar bonitátem.
37:22 Ne derelínquas me, Dómine, Deus meus: * ne discésseris a me.
37:23 Inténde in adiutórium meum, * Dómine, Deus, salútis meæ.

Psalm 37(12-23) [8]
37:12 My friends and my neighbours * have drawn near, and stood against me.
37:12 And they that were near me stood afar off: * and they that sought my soul used violence.
37:13 And they that sought evils to me spoke vain things, * and studied deceits all the day long.
37:14 But I, as a deaf man, heard not: * and as a dumb man not opening his mouth.
37:15 And I became as a man that heareth not: * and that hath no reproofs in his mouth.
37:16 For in thee, O Lord, have I hoped: * thou wilt hear me, O Lord my God.
37:17 For I said: Lest at any time my enemies rejoice over me: * and whilst my feet are moved, they speak great things against me.
37:18 For I am ready for scourges: * and my sorrow is continually before me.
37:19 For I will declare my iniquity: * and I will think for my sin.
37:20 But my enemies live, and are stronger than I: * and they that hate me wrongfully are multiplied.
37:21 They that render evil for good, have detracted me, * because I followed goodness.
37:22 Forsake me not, O Lord my God: * do not thou depart from me.
37:23 Attend unto my help, * O Lord, the God of my salvation.
℣. 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.

Psalmus 38 [9]
38:2 Dixi: Custódiam vias meas: * ut non delínquam in lingua mea.

38:3 Obmútui, et humiliátus sum, et sílui a bonis: * et dolor meus renovátus est.
38:4 Concáluit cor meum intra me: * et in meditatióne mea exardéscet ignis.
38:5 Locútus sum in lingua mea: * Notum fac mihi, Dómine, finem meum.

38:7 Thesaurízat: * et ignórat cui congregábit ea.
38:8 Et nunc quæ est exspectátio mea? Nonne Dóminus? * Et substántia mea apud te est.
38:9 Ab ómnibus iniquitátibus meis érue me: * oppróbrium insipiénti dedísti me.
38:10 Obmútui, et non apérui os meum, quóniam tu fecísti: * ámove a me plagas tuas.
38:12 A fortitúdine manus tuæ ego deféci in increpatiónibus: * propter iniquitátem corripuísti hóminem.
38:12 Et tabéscere fecísti sicut aráneam ánimam eius: * verúmtamen vane conturbátur omnis homo.
38:13 Exáudi oratiónem meam, Dómine, et deprecatiónem meam: * áuribus pércipe lácrimas meas.
38:13 Ne síleas: quóniam ádvena ego sum apud te, et peregrínus, * sicut omnes patres mei.
38:14 Remítte mihi, ut refrígerer priúsquam ábeam, * et ámplius non ero.

Psalm 38 [9]
38:2 I said: I will take heed to my ways: * that I sin not with my tongue.
38:2 I have set guard to my mouth, * when the sinner stood against me.
38:3 I was dumb, and was humbled, and kept silence from good things: * and my sorrow was renewed.
38:4 My heart grew hot within me: * and in my meditation a fire shall flame out.
38:5 I spoke with my tongue: * O Lord, make me know my end.
38:5 And what is the number of my days: * that I may know what is wanting to me.
38:6 Behold thou hast made my days measurable: * and my substance is as nothing before thee.
38:6 And indeed all things are vanity: * every man living.
38:7 Surely man passeth as an image: * yea, and he is disquieted in vain.
38:7 He storeth up: * and he knoweth not for whom he shall gather these things.
38:8 And now what is my hope? Is it not the Lord? * And my substance is with thee.
38:9 Deliver thou me from all my iniquities: * thou hast made me a reproach to the fool.
38:10 I was dumb, and I opened not my mouth, because thou hast done it: * remove thy scourges from me.
38:12 The strength of thy hand hath made me faint in rebukes: * thou hast corrected man for iniquity.
38:12 And thou hast made his soul to waste away like a spider: * surely in vain is any man disquieted.
38:13 Hear my prayer, O Lord, and my supplication: * give ear to my tears.
38:13 Be not silent: for I am a stranger with thee, * and a sojourner as all my fathers were.
38:14 O forgive me, that I may be refreshed, before I go hence, * and be no more.

1 Et cum compleréntur dies Pentecóstes, erant omnes páriter in eódem loco:
2 Et factus est repénte de cælo sonus, tamquam adveniéntis spíritus veheméntis, et replévit totam domum ubi erant sedéntes.
3 Et apparuérunt illis dispertítæ linguæ tamquam ignis, sedítque supra síngulos eórum:
4 Et repléti sunt omnes Spíritu Sancto, et cœpérunt loqui váriis linguis, prout Spíritus Sanctus dabat éloqui illis.
5 Erant autem in Ierúsalem habitántes Iudǽi, viri religiósi ex omni natióne quæ sub cælo est.
6 Facta autem hac voce, convénit multitúdo, et mente confúsa est, quóniam audiébat unusquísque lingua sua illos loquéntes.
7 Stupébant autem omnes, et mirabántur, dicéntes: Nonne ecce omnes isti qui loquúntur, Galilǽi sunt?

Lesson from the Acts of the Apostles
Acts 2:1-8
1 And when the days of the Pentecost were accomplished, they were all together in one place:
2 And suddenly there came a sound from heaven, as of a mighty wind coming, and it filled the whole house where they were sitting.
3 And there appeared to them parted tongues as it were of fire, and it sat upon every one of them:
4 And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and they began to speak with diverse tongues, according as the Holy Ghost gave them to speak.
5 Now there were dwelling at Jerusalem, Jews, devout men, out of every nation under heaven.
6 And when this was noised abroad, the multitude came together, and were confounded in mind, because that every man heard them speak in his own tongue.
7 And they were all amazed, and wondered, saying: Behold, are not all these, that speak, Galileans?
8 And how have we heard, every man our own tongue wherein we were born?
℣. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.
℟. Thanks be to God.
℟. I am the True Vine, and ye are the branches;
* He that abideth in Me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit, alleluia, alleluia.
℣. As the Father hath loved Me, so have I loved you.
℟. He that abideth in Me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit, alleluia, alleluia.

14 Stans autem Petrus cum úndecim, levávit vocem suam, et locútus est eis: Viri Iudǽi, et qui habitátis Ierúsalem univérsi, hoc vobis notum sit, et áuribus percípite verba mea.
15 Non enim, sicut vos æstimátis, hi ébrii sunt, cum sit hora diéi tértia:
16 Sed hoc est quod dictum est per prophétam Ioël:
17 Et erit in novíssimis diébus, dicit Dóminus, effúndam de Spíritu meo super omnem carnem: et prophetábunt fílii vestri et fíliæ vestræ, et iúvenes vestri visiónes vidébunt, et senióres vestri sómnia somniábunt.
18 Et quidem super servos meos, et super ancíllas meas, in diébus illis effúndam de Spíritu meo, et prophetábunt:
19 Et dabo prodígia in cælo sursum, et signa in terra deórsum, sánguinem, et ignem, et vapórem fumi:
20 Sol convertétur in ténebras, et luna in sánguinem, ántequam véniat dies Dómini magnus et maniféstus.
21 Et erit: omnis quicúmque invocáverit nomen Dómini, salvus erit.
Act. 2:22-27
22 Viri Israëlítæ, audíte verba hæc: Iesum Nazarénum, virum approbátum a Deo in vobis, virtútibus, et prodígiis, et signis, quæ fecit Deus per illum in médio vestri, sicut et vos scitis:
23 Hunc, definíto consílio et præsciéntia Dei tráditum, per manus iniquórum affligéntes interemístis:
24 Quem Deus suscitávit, solútis dolóribus inférni, iuxta quod impossíbile erat tenéri illum ab eo.
25 David enim dicit in eum: Providébam Dóminum in conspéctu meo semper: quóniam a dextris est mihi, ne commóvear:
26 Propter hoc lætátum est cor meum, et exsultávit lingua mea, ínsuper et caro mea requiéscet in spe:
27 Quóniam non derelínques ánimam meam in inférno, nec dabis sanctum tuum vidére corruptiónem.
℣. Tu autem, Dómine, miserére nobis.

Acts 2:14-21
14 But Peter standing up with the eleven, lifted up his voice, and spoke to them: Ye men of Judea, and all you that dwell in Jerusalem, be this known to you, and with your ears receive my words.
15 For these are not drunk, as you suppose, seeing it is but the third hour of the day:
16 But this is that which was spoken of by the prophet Joel:
17 And it shall come to pass, in the last days, saith the Lord, I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams.
18 And upon my servants indeed, and upon my handmaids will I pour out in those days of my spirit, and they shall prophesy.
19 And I will show wonders in the heaven above, and signs on the earth beneath: blood and fire, and vapour of smoke.
20 The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and manifest day of the Lord come.
21 And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord, shall be saved.
Acts 2:22-27
22 Ye men of Israel, hear these words: Jesus of Nazareth, a man approved of God among you, by miracles, and wonders, and signs, which God did by him, in the midst of you, as you also know:
23 This same being delivered up, by the determinate counsel and foreknowledge of God, you by the hands of wicked men have crucified and slain.
24 Whom God hath raised up, having loosed the sorrows of hell, as it was impossible that he should be holden by it.
25 For David saith concerning him: I foresaw the Lord before my face: because he is at my right hand, that I may not be moved.
26 For this my heart hath been glad, and any tongue hath rejoiced: moreover my flesh also shall rest in hope.
27 Because thou wilt not leave my soul in hell, nor suffer thy Holy One to see corruption.
℣. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.
℟. Thanks be to God.
℟. Purge out the old leaven, that ye may be new dough: for even Christ our Passover is sacrificed for us:

Reading 3
Peter was born in Verona of parents infected with Manichaeism, but almost from his infancy fought against heresies, and no persuasions of his father or his uncle could move him from holding to the faith. As a young man he went to Bologna to study and there joined the Order of Preachers. As a religious he gave a shining example of virtue, especially by his purity of body and soul, never sullied by mortal sin, and excelled in his wonderful zeal for penance and contemplation. He devoted himself most fruitfully to gaining the salvation of souls, and was kindled with such zeal for the faith that he asked God for the grace of dying for it, a favour which was granted him. For, while he was carrying out the work of the Holy Inquisition and on his way back from Como to Milan, he was wounded in the head by the sword of a wicked assassin. Nearly dead, he repeated with his last breath the symbol of the faith which he had defended with manly fortitude from his childhood, and gained the palm of martyrdom in the year of salvation 1252. A year later, Innocent IV enrolled him among the holy Martyrs.
℣. 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.
To thee Cherubim and Seraphim * continually do cry.
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.
