Per Dóminum nostrum Jesum Christum Fílium tuum, qui tecum vivit et regnat in unitáte Spíritus Sancti Deus, per ómnia sæcula sæculórum.

Per Dóminum nostrum Jesum Christum Fílium tuum, qui tecum vivit et regnat in unitáte Spíritus Sancti Deus, per ómnia sæcula sæculórum. Let thy merciful ears, O Lord, be open to the prayers of thy humble servants; and, that they may obtain their petitions, make them to ask such things as shall please thee.

The Epistle II Cor. 9: 6-10 Fratres: Qui parce séminat, parce et metet: et qui séminat in benedictiónibus, de benedictiónibus et metet. Unusquísque prout destinávit in corde suo, non ex tristítia aut ex necessitáte: hilárem enim datórem díligit Deus. Potens est autem Deus omnem grátiam abundáre fácere in vobis, ut, in ómnibus semper omnem sufficiéntiam habéntes, abundétis in omne opus bonum, sicut scriptum est: Dispérsit, dedit paupéribus: justítia ejus manet in sǽculum sǽculi. Qui autem admínistrat semen seminánti: et panem ad manducándum præstábit, et multiplicábit semen vestrum, et augébit increménta frugum justítiæ vestræ. Brethren: He which soweth sparingly shall reap also sparingly; and he which soweth bountifully shall reap also bountifully. Every man according as he purposeth in his heart, so let him give; not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver. And God is able to make all grace abound toward you; that ye, always having all sufficiency in all things, may abound to every good work: As it is written, He hath dispersed abroad; he hath given to the poor: his righteousness remaineth for ever. Now he that ministereth seed to the sower both minister bread for your food, and multiply your seed sown, and increase the fruits of your righteousness. The Gradual and Alleluia Ps. 16: 4 Probásti, Dómine, cor meum, et visitásti nocte. Thou hast proved and visited mine heart in the night season. V. Igne me examinásti, et non est invénta in me iníquitas. V. Thou hast tried me by fire, and wickedness hath not been found in me. Allelúja, allelúja. Levíta Lauréntius bonum opus operátus est: qui per signum crucis cæcos illuminávit. Allelúja. Alleluia, alleluia. The Deaconn Lawrence wrought a good work: who by the sign of the Cross gave light to the blind Alleluia. The Gospel John 12: 24-26 In illo témpore: Dixit Jesus discípulis suis: Amen, amen, dico vobis, nisi granum fruménti cadens in terram, mórtuum fúerit, ipsum solum manet: si autem mórtuum fúerit, multum fructum affert. Qui amat ánimam suam, perdet eam: et qui odit ánimam suam in hoc mundo, in vitam ætérnam custódit eam. Si quis mihi mínistrat, me sequátur: et ubi sum ego, illic et miníster meus erit. Si quis mihi ministráverit, honorificábit eum Pater meus. At that time, Jesus spake unto his disciples: Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except a corn of wheat fall into the ground and die, it abideth 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 shall keep it unto life eternal. If any man serve me, let him follow me; and where I am, there shall also my servant be: if any man serve me, him will my Father honour. The Offertory: Ps. 95: 6 Conféssio et pulchritúdo in conspéctu ejus: sánctitas et magnificéntia in sanctificatióne ejus. Praise and beauty are before him; holiness and majesty are in his sanctuary. The Secret: Accipe, quǽsumus, Dómine, múnera dignánter obláta: et, beáti Lauréntii suffragántibus méritis, ad nostræ salútis auxílium proveníre concéde.

Per Dóminum nostrum Jesum Christum Fílium tuum, qui tecum vivit et regnat, in unitáte Spíritus Sancti, Deus, O Lord, who hast instituted this sacrifice to be a remembrance of the effectual continuance of the work of our redemption: grant, we pray thee, that we may ever be enabled by thee to draw near in worthiness unto these thy mysteries.
