Duplex II. Classis.
Aperi Dómine os meum ad benedicéndum nomen sanctum tuum: munda quoque cor meum ab ómnibus vanis, pervérsis et aliénis cogitatiónibus: intelléctum illúmina, afféctum inflámma, ut digne, atténte ac devóte hoc Offícium recitáre váleam, et exaudíri mérear ante conspéctum divínæ Majestátis tuæ. Per Christum Dóminum nostrum. Amen.
Dómine in unióne illíus divínæ intentiónis, qua ipse in terris laudes Deo persolvísti, has tibi Horas persólvo.
O Lord, open Thou my mouth that I may bless Thy Holy Name. Cleanse my heart from all vain, evil, and wandering thoughts; enlighten my understanding; kindle my affections, that I may pray to, and praise Thee with attention and devotion; and may worthily be heard before the presence of Thy Divine Majesty. Through Christ our Lord. Amen.
Lord, in union with that Divine Intention wherewith Thou didst Thyself praise God, while as Thou wast on earth, I offer these Hours unto Thee.
Dicuntur secreto.
Pater noster, qui es in cœlis: sanctificétur nomen tuum: advéniat regnum tuum: fiat volúntas tua, sicut in cœlo 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.
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.
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.
Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee: blessed art thou among 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.
Credo in Deum, Patrem omnipoténtem, Creatórem cœli 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 cœlos, 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.
I believe in God the Father Almighty, Maker 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, dead, and buried: He descended into hell: the third day He rose again from the dead: He ascended into heaven, and sitteth on the right hand of God the Father Almighty. From thence He shall come to judge the quick 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 the Life everlasting. Amen.

Quóniam Deus magnus Dóminus, et Rex magnus super omnes deos: quóniam non repéllet Dóminus plebem suam, quia in manu ejus sunt omnes fines terræ, et altitúdines móntium ipse cónspicit.
For the Lord is a great God, and a great King above all gods: for the Lord will not cast off His people: for in His hand are all the ends of the earth; and the heights of the hills are His also.

To-day if ye will hear His voice, harden not your heart; as in in the Provocation, and as in the day of Temptation in the wilderness: when your fathers tempted Me, proved Me, and saw My works.

Quadragínta annis próximus fui generatióni huic, et dixi, Semper hi errant corde: ipsi vero non cognovérunt vias meas, quibus jurávi in ira mea, si introíbunt in réquiem meam.
Forty years long was I grieved with that generation and said, It is a people that do alway err in their heart, and they have not known My ways: unto whom I sware in My wrath that they should not enter into My rest.

Vidit * Dóminus Petrum et Andréam, et vocávit eos.
The Lord saw Peter and Andrew, * and He called them.
Psalmus 18.
Cœli enárrant glóriam Dei, * et ópera mánuum ejus annúntiat firmaméntum.
2 Dies diéi erúctat verbum, * et nox nocti índicat sciéntiam.
3 Non sunt loquélæ, neque sermónes, * quorum non audiántur voces eórum.
4 In omnem terram exívit sonus eórum: * et in fines orbis terræ verba eórum.
5 In sole pósuit tabernáculum suum: * et ipse tamquam sponsus procédens de thálamo suo:
6 Exsultávit ut gigas ad curréndam viam, * a summo cœlo egréssio ejus:
7 Et occúrsus ejus usque ad summum ejus: * nec est qui se abscóndat a calóre ejus.
8 Lex Dómini immaculáta convértens ánimas: * testimónium Dómini fidéle, sapiéntiam præstans párvulis.
9 Justítiæ Dómini rectæ, lætificántes corda: * præcéptum Dómini lúcidum: illúminans óculos.
10 Timor Dómini sanctus, pérmanens in sǽculum sǽculi: * judícia Dómini vera, justificáta in semetípsa.
11 Desiderabília super aurum et lápidem pretiósum multum: * et dulcióra super mel et favum.
12 Etenim servus tuus custódit ea, * in custodiéndis illis retribútio multa.
13 Delícta quis intélligit? ab occúltis meis munda me: * et ab aliénis parce servo tuo.
14 Si mei non fúerint domináti, tunc immaculátus ero: * et emundábor a delícto máximo.
15 Et erunt ut compláceant elóquia oris mei: * et meditátio cordis mei in conspéctu tuo semper.
16 Dómine adjútor meus, * et redémptor meus.
Glória Patri, et Fílio, * et Spirítui sancto.
Sicut erat in princípio, et nunc, et semper: * et in sǽcula sæculórum. Amen.
The heavens shew forth the glory of God, * and the firmament declareth the work of his hands.
2 Day to day uttereth speech, * and night to night sheweth knowledge.
3 There are no speeches nor languages, * where their voices are not heard.
4 Their sound hath gone forth into all the earth: * and their words unto the ends of the world.
5 He hath set his tabernacle in the sun: * and he, as a bridegroom coming out of his bride chamber,
6 Hath rejoiced as a giant to run the way: * His going out is from the end of heaven,
7 And his circuit even to the end thereof: * and there is no one that can hide himself from his heat.
8 The law of the Lord is unspotted, converting souls: * the testimony of the Lord is faithful, giving wisdom to little ones.
9 The justices of the Lord are right, rejoicing hearts: * the commandment of the Lord is lightsome, enlightening the eyes.
10 The fear of the Lord is holy, enduring for ever and ever: * the judgments of the Lord are true, justified in themselves.
11 More to be desired than gold and many precious stones: * and sweeter than honey and the honeycomb.
12 For thy servant keepeth them, * and in keeping them there is a great reward.
13 Who can understand sins? from my secret ones cleanse me, O Lord: * And from those of others spare thy servant.
14 If they shall have no dominion over me, then shall I be without spot: * and I shall be cleansed from the greatest sin.
15 And the words of my mouth shall be such as may please: * and the meditation of my heart always in thy sight.
16 O Lord, my helper, * and my redeemer.
Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, * and to the Holy Spirit.
As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be: * world without end. Amen.

Follow Me, and I will make you fishers of men, * saith the Lord.
Psalmus 33.
Benedícam Dóminum in omni témpore: * semper laus ejus in ore meo.
2 In Dómino laudábitur ánima mea: * aúdiant mansuéti, et læténtur.
3 Magnificáte Dóminum mecum: * et exaltémus nomen ejus in idípsum.
4 Exquisívi Dóminum, et exaudívit me: * et ex ómnibus tribulatiónibus meis erípuit me.
5 Accédite ad eum, et illuminámini: * et fácies vestræ non confundéntur.
6 Iste pauper clamávit, et Dóminus exaudívit eum: * et de ómnibus tribulatiónibus ejus salvávit eum.
7 Immíttet Angelus Dómini in circúitu timéntium eum: * et erípiet eos.
8 Gustáte et vidéte quóniam suávis est Dóminus: * beátus vir, qui sperat in eo.
9 Timéte Dóminum omnes sancti ejus: * quóniam non est inópia timéntibus eum.
10 Dívites eguérunt et esuriérunt: * inquiréntes autem Dóminum non minuéntur omni bono.
11 Veníte fílii audíte me: * timórem Dómini docébo vos.
12 Quis est homo qui vult vitam: * díligit dies vidére bonos?
13 Próhibe linguam tuam a malo: * et lábia tua ne loquántur dolum.
14 Divérte a malo, et fac bonum: * inquíre pacem, et perséquere eam.
15 Oculi Dómini super justos: * et aures ejus in preces eórum.
16 Vultus autem Dómini super faciéntes mala: * ut perdat de terra memóriam eórum.
17 Clamavérunt justi, et Dóminus exaudívit eos: * et ex ómnibus tribulatiónibus eórum liberávit eos.
18 Juxta est Dóminus iis, qui tribuláto sunt corde: * et húmiles spíritu salvábit.
19 Multæ tribulatiónes justórum: * et de ómnibus his liberábit eos Dóminus.
20 Custódit Dóminus ómnia ossa eórum: * unum ex his non conterétur.
21 Mors peccatórum péssima: * et qui odérunt justum, delínquent.
22 Rédimet Dóminus ánimas servórum suórum: * et non delínquent omnes qui sperant in eo.
Glória Patri, et Fílio, * et Spirítui sancto.
Sicut erat in princípio, et nunc, et semper: * et in sǽcula sæculórum. Amen.
I will bless the Lord at all times, * his praise shall be always in my mouth.
2 In the Lord shall my soul be praised: * let the meek hear and rejoice.
3 O magnify the Lord with me; * and let us extol his name together.
4 I sought the Lord, and he heard me; * and he delivered me from all my troubles.
5 Come ye to him and be enlightened: * and your faces shall not be confounded.
6 This poor man cried, and the Lord heard him: * and saved him out of all his troubles.
7 The angel of the Lord shall encamp round about them that fear him: * and shall deliver them.
8 O taste, and see that the Lord is sweet: * blessed is the man that hopeth in him.
9 Fear the Lord, all ye his saints: * for there is no want to them that fear him.
10 The rich have wanted, and have suffered hunger: * but they that seek the Lord shall not be deprived of any good.
11 Come, children, hearken to me: * I will teach you the fear of the Lord.
12 Who is the man that desireth life: * who loveth to see good days?
13 Keep thy tongue from evil, * and thy lips from speaking guile.
14 Turn away from evil and do good: * seek after peace and pursue it.
15 The eyes of the Lord are upon the just: * and his ears unto their prayers.
16 But the countenance of the Lord is against them that do evil things: * to cut off the remembrance of them from the earth.
17 The just cried, and the Lord heard them: * and delivered them out of all their troubles.
18 The Lord is nigh unto them that are of a contrite heart: * and he will save the humble of spirit.
19 Many are the afflictions of the just; * but out of them all will the Lord deliver them.
20 The Lord keepeth all their bones, * not one of them shall be broken.
21 The death of the wicked is very evil: * and they that hate the just shall be guilty.
22 The Lord will redeem the souls of his servants: * and none of them that trust in him shall offend.
Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, * and to the Holy Spirit.
As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be: * world without end. Amen.
Veníte post me, dicit Dóminus, fáciam vos fíeri piscatóres hóminum.
Follow Me, and I will make you fishers of men, saith the Lord.
Relíctis rétibus suis, * secúti sunt Dóminum Redemptórem.
And they left their nets, * and followed the Lord their Saviour.
Psalmus 44.
Eructávit cor meum verbum bonum: * dico ego ópera mea regi.
2 Lingua mea cálamus scribæ, * velóciter scribéntis.
3 Speciósus forma præ fíliis hóminum, diffúsa est grátia in lábiis tuis: * proptérea benedíxit te Deus in ætérnum.
4 Accíngere gládio tuo super femur tuum, * potentíssime,
5 Spécie tua et pulchritúdine tua * inténde, próspere procéde, et regna.
6 Propter veritátem, et mansuetúdinem, et justítiam: * et dedúcet te mirabíliter déxtera tua.
7 Sagíttæ tuæ acútæ, pópuli sub te cadent, * in corda inimicórum regis.
8 Sedes tua Deus in sǽculum sǽculi: * virga directiónis virga regni tui.
9 Dilexísti justítiam, et odísti iniquitátem: * proptérea unxit te Deus Deus tuus óleo lætítiæ præ consórtibus tuis.
10 Myrrha, et gutta, et cásia a vestiméntis tuis, a dómibus ebúrneis: * ex quibus delectavérunt te fíliæ regum in honóre tuo.
11 Astitit regína a dextris tuis in vestítu deauráto: * circúmdata varietáte.
12 Audi fília, et vide, et inclína aurem tuam: * et oblivíscere pópulum tuum, et domum patris tui.
13 Et concupíscet Rex decórem tuum: * quóniam ipse est Dóminus Deus tuus, et adorábunt eum.
14 Et fíliæ Tyri in munéribus * vultum tuum deprecabúntur: omnes dívites plebis.
15 Omnis glória ejus fíliæ Regis ab intus, * in fímbriis aúreis circumamícta varietátibus.
16 Adducéntur Regi vírgines post eam: * próximæ ejus afferéntur tibi.
17 Afferéntur in lætítia et exsultatióne: * adducéntur in templum Regis.
18 Pro pátribus tuis nati sunt tibi fílii: * constítues eos príncipes super omnem terram.
19 Mémores erunt nóminis tui: * in omni generatióne et generatiónem.
20 Proptérea pópuli confitebúntur tibi in ætérnum: * et in sǽculum sǽculi.
Glória Patri, et Fílio, * et Spirítui sancto.
Sicut erat in princípio, et nunc, et semper: * et in sǽcula sæculórum. Amen.
My heart hath uttered a good word: * I speak my works to the king;
2 My tongue is the pen of a scrivener * that writeth swiftly.
3 Thou art beautiful above the sons of men: grace is poured abroad in thy lips; * therefore hath God blessed thee for ever.
4 Gird thy sword upon thy thigh, * O thou most mighty.
5 With thy comeliness and thy beauty set out, * proceed prosperously, and reign.
6 Because of truth and meekness and justice: * and thy right hand shall conduct thee wonderfully.
7 Thy arrows are sharp: under thee shall people fall, * into the hearts of the king's enemies.
8 Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever: * the sceptre of thy kingdom is a sceptre of uprightness.
9 Thou hast loved justice, and hated iniquity: * therefore God, thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows.
10 Myrrh and stacte and cassia perfume thy garments, from the ivory houses: * out of which the daughters of kings have delighted thee in thy glory.
11 The queen stood on thy right hand, in gilded clothing; * surrounded with variety.
12 Hearken, O daughter, and see, and incline thy ear: * and forget thy people and thy father's house.
13 And the king shall greatly desire thy beauty; * for he is the Lord thy God, and him they shall adore.
14 And the daughters of Tyre with gifts, * yea, all the rich among the people, shall entreat thy countenance.
15 All the glory of the king's daughter is within in golden borders, * Clothed round about with varieties.
16 After her shall virgins be brought to the king: * her neighbours shall be brought to thee.
17 They shall be brought with gladness and rejoicing: * they shall be brought into the temple of the king.
18 Instead of thy fathers, sons are born to thee: * thou shalt make them princes over all the earth.
19 They shall remember thy name * throughout all generations.
20 Therefore shall people praise thee for ever; * yea, for ever and ever.
Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, * and to the Holy Spirit.
As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be: * world without end. Amen.

De Epístola beáti Pauli Apóstoli ad Romános.
A Lesson from the Epistle of Blessed Paul the Apostle to the Romans.
Rom. 10.
Finis legis, Christus, ad justítiam omni credénti. Móyses enim scripsit, quóniam justítiam, quæ ex lege est, qui fécerit homo, vivet in ea. Quæ autem ex fide est justítia, sic dicit: Ne díxeris in corde tuo: Quis ascéndet in cœlum? id est, Christum dedúcere. Aut quis descéndet in abýssum? hoc est, Christum a mórtuis revocáre. Sed quid dicit Scriptúra? Prope est verbum in ore tuo, et in corde tuo: hoc est verbum fídei, quod prædicámus. Quia si confiteáris in ore tuo Dóminum Jesum, et in corde tuo credíderis quod Deus illum suscitávit a mórtuis, salvus eris.
Tu autem Dómine miserére nobis.
℟. Deo grátias.
For the end of the law is Christ, unto justice to every one that believeth. For Moses wrote, that the justice which is of the law, the man that shall do it, shall live by it. But the justice which is of faith, speaketh thus: Say not in thy heart, Who shall ascend into heaven? that is, to bring Christ down; Or who shall descend into the deep? that is, to bring up Christ again from the dead. But what saith the scripture? The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart. This is the word of faith, which we preach. For if thou confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and believe in thy heart that God hath raised him up from the dead, thou shalt be saved.
But Thou, O Lord, have mercy on us.
℟. Thanks be to God.
Responsorium I.
℟. Cum perambuláret Dóminus juxta mare Galilǽæ, vidit Petrum et Andréam rétia mitténtes in mare, et vocávit eos, dicens: * Veníte post me, fáciam vos fíeri piscatóres hóminum.
℣. Erant enim piscatóres, et ait illis.
℟. Veníte post me, fáciam vos fíeri piscatóres hóminum.
℟. The Lord, walking by the Sea of Galilee, saw Peter and Andrew casting their nets into the sea, and He called them saying: * Follow Me, and I will make you fishers of men.
℣. For they were fishers, and He saith unto them:
℟. Follow Me, and I will make you fishers of men.
Jube, domne, benedícere.
Unigénitus Dei Fílius * nos benedícere et adjuváre dignétur.
℟. Amen.
Sir, be pleased to give the blessing.
May the Son, the Sole-begotten, * mercifully bless and keep us.
Amen.
Corde enim créditur ad justítiam: ore autem conféssio fit ad salútem. Dicit enim Scriptúra: Omnis, qui credit in illum, non confundétur. Non enim est distínctio Judǽi et Græci: nam idem Dóminus ómnium, dives in omnes qui ínvocant illum. Omnis enim, quicúmque invocáverit nomen Dómini, salvus erit. Quómodo ergo invocábunt, in quem non credidérunt? Aut quómodo credent ei, quem non audiérunt? Quómodo autem aúdient sine prædicánte? Quómodo vero prædicábunt nisi mittántur? sicut scriptum est: Quam speciósi pedes evangelizántium pacem, evangelizántium bona!
Tu autem Dómine miserére nobis.
℟. Deo grátias.
For, with the heart, we believe unto justice; but, with the mouth, confession is made unto salvation. For the scripture saith: Whosoever believeth in him, shall not be confounded. For there is no distinction of the Jew and the Greek: for the same is Lord over all, rich unto all that call upon him. For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord, 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, without a preacher? And how shall they preach unless they be sent, as it is written: How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace, of them that bring glad tidings of good things!
But Thou, O Lord, have mercy on us.
℟. Thanks be to God.
Responsorium II.
℟. Mox ut vocem Dómini prædicántis audívit beátus Andréas, relíctis rétibus, quorum usu actúque vivébat, * Ætérnæ vitæ secútus est prǽmia largiéntem.
℣. Hic est qui pro amóre Christi pepéndit in cruce, et pro lege ejus sustínuit passiónem.
℟. Ætérnæ vitæ secútus est prǽmia largiéntem.
℟. As soon as the blessed Andrew heard the voice of the Lord calling him, he left his nets, by the exercise and use whereof he lived; * And followed Him Who giveth life everlasting.
℣. This is that disciple who for the love of Christ hung upon the cross, and suffered for the law of his God.
℟. And followed Him Who giveth life everlasting.
Jube, domne, benedícere.
Spíritus sancti grátia * illúminet sensus et corda nostra.
℟. Amen.
Sir, be pleased to give the blessing.
May the grace of God the Spirit * all our heart and mind enlighten.
Amen.
Sed non omnes obédiunt Evangélio. Isaías enim dicit: Dómine quis crédidit audítui nostro? Ergo fides ex audítu, audítus autem per verbum Christi. Sed dico: Numquid non audiérunt? Et quidem in omnem terram exívit sonus eórum, et in fines orbis terræ verba eórum. Sed dico: Numquid Israël non cognóvit? Primus Móyses dicit: Ego ad æmulatiónem vos addúcam in non gentem: in gentem insipiéntem, in iram vos mittam. Isaías autem audet, et dicit: Invéntus sum a non quæréntibus me: palam appárui iis, qui me non interrogábant. Ad Israël autem dicit: Tota die expándi manus meas ad pópulum non credéntem et contradicéntem.
Tu autem Dómine miserére nobis.
℟. Deo grátias.
But all do 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? Yes, verily, their sound hath gone forth into all the earth, and their words unto the ends of the whole world. But I say: Hath not Israel known? First, Moses saith: I will provoke you to jealousy by that which is not a nation; by a foolish nation I will anger you. But Isaias is bold, and saith: I was found by them that did not seek me: I appeared openly to them that asked not after me. But to Israel he saith: All the day long have I spread my hands to a people that believeth not, and contradicteth me.
But Thou, O Lord, have mercy on us.
℟. Thanks be to God.

Hear, O God, my prayer, when I make supplication to thee: * deliver my soul from the fear of the enemy.
2 Thou hast protected me from the assembly of the malignant; * from the multitude of the workers of iniquity.
3 For they have whetted their tongues like a sword; * they have bent their bow a bitter thing, to shoot in secret the undefiled.
4 They will shoot at him on a sudden, and will not fear: * they are resolute in wickedness.
5 They have talked of hiding snares; * they have said: Who shall see them?
6 They have searched after iniquities: * they have failed in their search.
7 Man shall come to a deep heart: * and God shall be exalted.
8 The arrows of children are their wounds: * and their tongues against them are made weak.

Andréas Apóstolus Bethsáidæ natus, qui est Galilǽæ vicus, frater Petri, discípulus Joánnis Baptístæ, cum eum de Christo dicéntem audísset: Ecce Agnus Dei; secútus Jesum, fratrem quoque suum ad eúmdem perdúxit: cum póstea una cum fratre piscarétur in mari Galilǽæ, ambo a prætereúnte Christo Dómino ante álios Apóstolos vocáti illis verbis: Veníte post me, fáciam vos fíeri piscatóres hóminum; nullam interponéntes moram, et relíctis rétibus secúti sunt eum. Post cujus passiónem et resurrectiónem, Andréas, cum in Scýthiam Európæ, quæ ei província ad Christi fidem disseminándam obtígerat, venísset, deínde Epírum ac Thráciam peragrásset; doctrína et miráculis innumerábiles hómines ad Christum convértit. Post Patras Achájæ proféctus, et in ea urbe plúrimis ad veritátem evangélicam perdúctis, Ægéam procónsulem, prædicatióni evangélicæ resisténtem, libérrime increpávit, quod, qui judex hóminum habéri vellet, Christum Deum ómnium júdicem a dæmónibus elúsus non agnósceret.
Tu autem Dómine miserére nobis.
℟. Deo grátias.
The Apostle Andrew was born at Bethsaida, a town of Galilee, and was the brother of Peter. He was a disciple of John the Baptist, and heard him say of Christ, Behold the Lamb of God, (John i. 35-37, 40,) whereupon he immediately followed Jesus, bringing his brother also with him. Some while after, they were both fishing in the Sea of Galilee, and the Lord Christ, going by, called them both, before any other of the Apostles, in the words, Follow Me, and I will make you fishers of men. They made no delay, but left their nets, and followed Him. ~(Matth. iv. 18-20.) After the death and Resurrection of Christ, Andrew was allotted Scythia as the province of his preaching, and, after labouring there, he went through Epirus and Thrace, where he turned vast multitudes to Christ by his teaching and miracles. Finally he went to Patras in Achaia, and there also he brought many to the knowledge of Gospel truth. Aegeas the Pro-consul resisted the preaching of the Gospel, and the Apostle freely rebuked him, bidding him know that while he held himself a judge of his fellow men, he was himself hindered by devils from knowing Christ our God, the Judge of all.
But Thou, O Lord, have mercy on us.
℟. Thanks be to God.

Tum Ægéas irátus, Désine, inquit, Christum jactáre, cui simília verba nihil profuérunt, quo minus a Judǽis crucifigerétur. Andréam vero de Christo nihilóminus líbere prædicántem quod pro salúte humáni géneris se crucifigéndum obtulísset, ímpia oratióne interpéllat, ac demum hortátur, ut sibi cónsulens, diis velit immoláre. Cui Andréas: Ego omnipoténti Deo, qui unus et verus est, ímmolo quotídie, non taurórum carnes, nec hircórum sánguinem, sed immaculátum Agnum in altári: cujus carnem posteáquam omnis pópulus credéntium manducáverit, Agnus, qui sacrificátus est, ínteger persevérat et vivus. Quamóbrem ira accénsus Ægéas, jubet eum in cárcerem detrúdi: unde pópulus Andréam fácile liberásset, nisi ipse sedásset multitúdinem, veheméntius rogans, ne se ad optatíssimam martýrii corónam properántem impedírent.
Tu autem Dómine miserére nobis.
℟. Deo grátias.
Then Egeas, being angry, answered him, Boast no more of this thy Christ. He spake words even such as thine, but they availed Him not, and He was crucified by the Jews. Whereto Andrew boldly answered that Christ had given Himself up to die for man's salvation; but the Pro-consul blasphemously interrupted him, and bade him look to himself, and sacrifice to the gods. Then said Andrew, We have an altar, whereon day by day I offer up to God, the Almighty, the One, and the True, not the flesh of bulls nor the blood of goats, but a Lamb without spot and when all they that believe have eaten of the Flesh Thereof, the Lamb That was slain abideth whole and liveth. Then Aegeas being filled with wrath, bound the Apostle in prison. Now, the people would have delivered him, but he himself calmed the multitude, and earnestly besought them not to take away from him the crown of martyrdom, for which he longed and which was now drawing near.
But Thou, O Lord, have mercy on us.
℟. Thanks be to God.

Addúctus Andréas ad locum martýrii, cum crucem vidísset, longe exclamáre cœpit: O bona crux, quæ decórem ex membris Dómini suscepísti, diu desideráta, sollícite amáta, sine intermissióne quæsíta, et aliquándo cupiénti ánimo præparáta: áccipe me ab homínibus, et redde me magístro meo: ut per te me recípiat, qui per te me redémit. Itaque cruci affíxus est: in qua bíduum vivus pendens, et Christi fidem prædicáre numquam intermíttens, ad eum migrávit, cujus mortis similitúdinem concupíerat. Quæ ómnia presbýteri et diáconi Achájæ, qui ejus passiónem scripsérunt, se ita ut commemoráta sunt, audísse et vidísse testántur. Ejus ossa primum Constantíno imperatóre Constantinópolim, deínde Amálphim transláta sunt. Caput, Pio secúndo Pontífice, Romam allátum, in basílica sancti Petri collocátum est.

℟. Deo grátias.
Come a short while after, he was brought before the judgment-seat, where he extolled the mystery of the cross, and rebuked Aegeas for his ungodliness. Then Aegeas could bear with him no longer, but commanded him to be crucified, in imitation of Christ. Andrew, then, was led to the place of martyrdom, and, as soon as he came in sight of the cross, he cried out, O precious cross, which the Members of my Lord have made so goodly, how long have I desired thee! how warmly have I loved thee! how constantly have I sought thee! And, now that thou art come to me, how is my soul drawn to thee! Welcome me from among men, and join me again to my Master, that as by thee He redeemed me, so by thee also He may take me unto Himself. So he was fastened to the cross, whereon he hung living for two days, during which time he ceased not to preach the faith of Christ, and, finally, passed into the Presence of Him the likeness of Whose death he had loved so well. All the above particulars of his last sufferings were written by the Priests and Deacons of Achaia, who bear witness to them of their own knowledge. Under the Emperor Constantine the bones of the Apostle were first taken to Constantinople, whence they were afterwards brought to Amalfi. In the Pontificate of Pope Pius II his head was carried to Rome, where it is kept in the Basilica of St. Peter.
But Thou, O Lord, have mercy on us.

A Lesson from the Holy Gospel according to Matthew.
Matth. 4. c.
In illo témpore: Ambulans Jesus juxta mare Galilǽæ, vidit duos fratres, Simónem, qui vocátur Petrus, et Andréam fratrem ejus, mitténtes rete in mare. Et réliqua.
At that time, Jesus, walking by the sea of Galilee, saw two brethren, Simon who is called Peter, and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the sea (for they were fishers). And so on.

Homily by Pope St. Gregory.
Homilia 5. in Evangelia.
Audístis, fratres caríssimi, quia ad uníus jussiónis vocem Petrus et Andréas relíctis rétibus secúti sunt Redemptórem. Nulla vero hunc fácere adhuc mirácula víderant; nihil ab eo de prǽmio ætérnæ retributiónis audíerant: et tamen ad unum Dómini præcéptum, hoc quod possidére videbántur, oblíti sunt. Quanta nos ejus mirácula vidémus, quot flagéllis afflígimur, quantis minárum asperitátibus deterrémur, et tamen vocántem sequi contémnimus.
Tu autem Dómine miserére nobis.
℟. Deo grátias.
Dearly beloved brethren, ye hear how that Peter and Andrew, having once heard the Lord call them, left their nets, and followed their Saviour. As yet they had seen none of His miracles, as yet they had received no promise of their exceeding and eternal reward; nevertheless, at one word of the Lord they forgot all those things which they seemed to have. We have seen many of His miracles; we have received many of His gracious chastenings; many times hath He warned us of the wrath to come and yet Christ calleth and we do not follow.
But Thou, O Lord, have mercy on us.
℟. Thanks be to God.
Responsorium VII.
℟. Orávit sanctus Andréas, dum respíceret in cœlum, et voce magna clamávit et dixit: Tu es Deus meus, quem vidi: ne me patiáris ab ímpio júdice depóni: * Quia virtútem sanctæ crucis agnóvi.
℣. Tu es magíster meus Christus, quem diléxi, quem cognóvi, quem conféssus sum: tantúmmodo in ista voce exaúdi me.
℟. Quia virtútem sanctæ crucis agnóvi.
℟. The holy Andrew lifted up his eyes to heaven, and prayed, and cried with a loud voice, and said: Thou art my God, Whom I have seen; suffer not the unjust judge to take me down from the cross * For now I know what the power of thy holy Cross is.
℣. Thou art Christ my Master, Whom I have loved, Whom I have known, Whom I have confessed in this thing hear me.

In cœlo jam sedet, qui de conversióne nos ádmonet: jam jugo fídei colla Géntium súbdidit, jam mundi glóriam stravit, jam ruínis ejus crebrescéntibus, distrícti sui judícii diem propinquántem denúntiat: et tamen supérba mens nostra adhuc non vult hoc sponte desérere, quod quotídie perdit invíta. Quid ergo, fratres caríssimi, quid in ejus judício dictúri sumus, qui ab amóre præséntis sǽculi nec præcéptis fléctimur, nec verbéribus emendámur?
Tu autem Dómine miserére nobis.
℟. Deo grátias.
He who calleth us to be converted is now enthroned in heaven; He hath broken the necks of the Gentiles to the yoke of the faith, He hath laid low the glory of the world, and the wrecks thereof, falling ever more and more to decay, do preach unto us that the coming of that day when He is to be revealed as our Judge is drawing nigh and yet, so stubborn is our mind, that we will not yet freely abandon that which, will we, nill we, we lose day by day. Dearly beloved brethren, what shall we answer at His judgment-seat, we whom no lessons can persuade, and no stripes can break of the love of this present world?
But Thou, O Lord, have mercy on us.
℟. Thanks be to God.
Responsorium VIII.
℟. Videns crucem Andréas exclamávit, dicens: O crux admirábilis, o crux desiderábilis, o crux quæ per totum mundum rútilas: * Súscipe discípulum Christi, ac per te me recípiat, qui per te móriens me redémit.
℣. O bona crux, quæ decórem et pulchritúdinem de membris Dómini suscepísti.
℟. Súscipe discípulum Christi, ac per te me recípiat, qui per te móriens me redémit.
℣. Glória Patri, et Fílio, et Spirítui sancto.
℟. Súscipe discípulum Christi, ac per te me recípiat, qui per te móriens me redémit.

℣. O precious cross, which the Members of my Lord have made so fair and goodly,
℟. Welcome a follower of Jesus, that, as by thee He died to redeem me, so by thee also He may take me unto Himself.
℣. Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost.

Sed fortásse áliquis tácitis sibi cogitatiónibus dicat: Ad vocem Domínicam utérque iste piscátor quid, aut quantum dimísit, qui pene nihil hábuit? Sed hac in re, fratres caríssimi, afféctum debémus pótius pensáre, quam censum. Multum relíquit, qui sibi nihil retínuit: multum relíquit, qui quantúmlibet parum, totum deséruit. Certe nos et hábita cum amóre possidémus, et ea, quæ mínime habémus, ex desidério quǽrimus. Multum ergo Petrus et Andréas dimísit, quando utérque étiam desidéria habéndi derelíquit.
Tu autem Dómine miserére nobis.
℟. Deo grátias.
Perhaps one perchance will ask in his heart, what Peter or Andrew had to lose by obeying the call of the Lord? Dearly beloved brethren, we must consider here rather the intention than the loss incurred by this obedience. He that keepeth nothing for himself, giveth up much; he that sacrificeth his all, sacrificed what is to him a great deal. Beyond doubt, we cling to whatever we have, and what we have least, that we desire most. Peter and Andrew therefore gave up much when they gave up even the desire of possessing anything.
But Thou, O Lord, have mercy on us.
℟. Thanks be to God.

Thou art the King of glory, * O Christ!
Thou art the everlasting Son * of the Father.
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:
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 inheritance.
Govern them, * and lift them up for ever.
Day by day * we magnify Thee;

O Lord, in Thee have I trusted: * let me never be confounded.

2 For thee my soul hath thirsted; * for thee my flesh, O how many ways!
3 In a desert land, and where there is no way, and no water: * so in the sanctuary have I come before thee, to see thy power and thy glory.
4 For thy mercy is better than lives: * thee my lips shall praise.
5 Thus will I bless thee all my life long: * and in thy name I will lift up my hands.
6 Let my soul be filled as with marrow and fatness: * and my mouth shall praise thee with joyful lips.
7 If I have remembered thee upon my bed, I will meditate on thee in the morning: * because thou hast been my helper.
8 And I will rejoice under the covert of thy wings: my soul hath stuck close to thee: * thy right hand hath received me.
9 But they have sought my soul in vain, they shall go into the lower parts of the earth: * they shall be delivered into the hands of the sword, they shall be the portions of foxes.
10 But the king shall rejoice in God, all they shall be praised that swear by him: * because the mouth is stopped of them that speak wicked things.

2 That we may know thy way upon earth: * thy salvation in all nations.
3 Let people confess to thee, O God: * let all people give praise to thee.
4 Let the nations be glad and rejoice: * for thou judgest the people with justice, and directest the nations upon earth.
5 Let the people, O God, confess to thee: let all the people give praise to thee: * the earth hath yielded her fruit.
6 May God, our God bless us, may God bless us: * and all the ends of the earth fear him.

7 That we, being delivered out of the hand of our enemies, * might serve Him without fear,
8 In holiness and righteousness before Him * all the days of our life.
9 And thou, child, shalt be called the Prophet of the Highest: * for thou shalt go before the face of the Lord to prepare His ways:
10 To give knowledge of salvation unto His people, * by the remission of their sins;
11 Through the tender mercy of our God, * whereby the dayspring from on high hath visited us,
12 To give light to them that sit in darkness, and in the shadow of death, * to guide our feet into the way of peace.
