Credo in Deum, Patrem omnipoténtem, Creatórem cœli et terræ.

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.

Blessed is the man * that doth meditate in the law of the Lord: his delight is therein day and night, and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.
Psalmus 1.
Beátus vir, qui non ábiit in consílio impiórum, et in via peccatórum non stetit, * et in cáthedra pestiléntiæ non sedit:
2 Sed in lege Dómini volúntas ejus, * et in lege ejus meditábitur die ac nocte.
3 Et erit tamquam lignum, quod plantátum est secus decúrsus aquárum, * quod fructum suum dabit in témpore suo:
4 Et fólium ejus non défluet: * et ómnia quæcúmque fáciet, prosperabúntur.
5 Non sic ímpii, non sic: * sed tamquam pulvis, quem projícit ventus a fácie terræ.
6 Ideo non resúrgent ímpii in judício: * neque peccatóres in concílio justórum.
7 Quóniam novit Dóminus viam justórum: * et iter impiórum períbit.
Glória Patri, et Fílio, * et Spirítui sancto.
Sicut erat in princípio, et nunc, et semper: * et in sǽcula sæculórum. Amen.
Blessed is the man who hath not walked in the counsel of the ungodly, nor stood in the way of sinners, * nor sat in the chair of pestilence.
2 But his will is in the law of the Lord, * and on his law he shall meditate day and night.
3 And he shall be like a tree which is planted near the running waters, * which shall bring forth its fruit, in due season.
4 And his leaf shall not fall off: * and all whatsoever he shall do shall prosper.
5 Not so the wicked, not so: * but like the dust, which the wind driveth from the face of the earth.
6 Therefore the wicked shall not rise again in judgment: * nor sinners in the council of the just.
7 For the Lord knoweth the way of the just: * and the way of the wicked shall perish.
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.

5 Tunc loquétur ad eos in ira sua, * et in furóre suo conturbábit eos.
6 Ego autem constitútus sum Rex ab eo super Sion montem sanctum ejus, * prǽdicans præcéptum ejus.
7 Dóminus dixit ad me: * Fílius meus es tu, ego hódie génui te.
8 Póstula a me, et dabo tibi Gentes hæreditátem tuam, * et possessiónem tuam términos terræ.
9 Reges eos in virga férrea, * et tamquam vas fíguli confrínges eos.
10 Et nunc reges intellígite: * erudímini qui judicátis terram.
11 Servíte Dómino in timóre: * et exsultáte ei cum tremóre.

Why have the Gentiles raged, * and the people devised vain things?
2 The kings of the earth stood up, and the princes met together, * against the Lord and against his Christ.
3 Let us break their bonds asunder: * and let us cast away their yoke from us.
4 He that dwelleth in heaven shall laugh at them: * and the Lord shall deride them.
5 Then shall he speak to them in his anger, * and trouble them in his rage.
6 But I am appointed king by him over Sion his holy mountain, * preaching his commandment.
7 The Lord hath said to me: * Thou art my son, this day have I begotten thee.
8 Ask of me, and I will give thee the Gentiles for thy inheritance, * and the utmost parts of the earth for thy possession.
9 Thou shalt rule them with a rod of iron, * and shalt break them in pieces like a potter's vessel.
10 And now, O ye kings, understand: * receive instruction, you that judge the earth.
11 Serve ye the Lord with fear: * and rejoice unto him with trembling.
12 Embrace discipline, lest at any time the Lord be angry, * and you perish from the just way.
13 When his wrath shall be kindled in a short time, * blessed are all they that trust in him.
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.

Incípiunt Parábolæ Salomónis.
Lesson from the book of Proverbs
Parab. 1.
Parábolæ Salomónis, fílii David, regis Israël. Ad sciéndam sapiéntiam, et disciplínam: ad intelligénda verba prudéntiæ: et suscipiéndam eruditiónem doctrínæ, justítiam, et judícium, et æquitátem: ut detur párvulis astútia, adolescénti sciéntia et intelléctus. Aúdiens sápiens, sapiéntior erit: et intélligens, gubernácula possidébit. Animadvértet parábolam, et interpretatiónem, verba sapiéntum, et ænígmata eórum.
Tu autem Dómine miserére nobis.
℟. Deo grátias.
The parables of Solomon, the son of David, king of Israel. To know wisdom, and instruction: To understand the words of prudence: and to receive the instruction of doctrine, justice, and judgment, and equity: To give subtilty to little ones, to the young man knowledge and understanding. A wise man shall hear and shall be wiser: and he that understandeth, shall possess governments. He shall understand a parable, and the interpretation, the words of the wise, and their mysterious sayings.
But Thou, O Lord, have mercy on us.
℟. Thanks be to God.

Timor Dómini princípium sapiéntiæ. Sapiéntiam, atque doctrínam stulti despíciunt. Audi, fili mi, disciplínam patris tui, et ne dimíttas legem matris tuæ: ut addátur grátia cápiti tuo, et torques collo tuo. Fili mi, si te lactáverint peccatóres, ne acquiéscas eis. Si díxerint: Veni nobíscum, insidiémur sánguini, abscondámus tendículas contra insóntem frustra: deglutiámus eum sicut inférnus vivéntem, et íntegrum quasi descendéntem in lacum. Omnem pretiósam substántiam reperiémus, implébimus domos nostras spóliis. Sortem mitte nobíscum, marsúpium unum sit ómnium nostrum.
Tu autem Dómine miserére nobis.
℟. Deo grátias.
The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom. Fools despise wisdom and instruction. My son, hear the instruction of thy father, and forsake not the law of thy mother: That grace may be added to thy head, and a chain of gold to thy neck. My son, if sinners shall entice thee, consent not to them. If they shall say: Come with us, let us lie in wait for blood, let us hide snares for the innocent without cause: Let us swallow him up alive like hell, and whole as one that goeth down into the pit. We shall find all precious substance, we shall fill our houses with spoils. Cast in thy lot with us, let us all have one purse.

℟. Deo grátias.
My son, walk not thou with them, restrain thy foot from their paths. For their feet run to evil, and make haste to shed blood. But a net is spread in vain before the eyes of them that have wings. And they themselves lie in wait for their own blood, and practise deceits against their own souls. So the wage of every covetous man destroy the souls of the possessors.
But Thou, O Lord, have mercy on us.
℟. Thanks be to God.

2 Have mercy on me: * and hear my prayer.
3 O ye sons of men, how long will you be dull of heart? * why do you love vanity, and seek after lying?
4 Know ye also that the Lord hath made his holy one wonderful: * the Lord will hear me when I shall cry unto him.
5 Be angry, and sin not: † the things you say in your hearts, * be sorry for them upon your beds.
6 Offer up the sacrifice of justice, † and trust in the Lord: * many say, Who sheweth us good things?
7 The light of thy countenance O Lord, is signed upon us: * thou hast given gladness in my heart.

5 Neque habitábit juxta te malígnus: * neque permanébunt injústi ante óculos tuos.
6 Odísti omnes, qui operántur iniquitátem: * perdes omnes, qui loquúntur mendácium.
7 Virum sánguinum et dolósum abominábitur Dóminus: * ego autem in multitúdine misericórdiæ tuæ.
8 Introíbo in domum tuam: * adorábo ad templum sanctum tuum in timóre tuo.
9 Dómine deduc me in justítia tua: * propter inimícos meos dírige in conspéctu tuo viam meam.

2 Hearken to the voice of my prayer, * O my King and my God.
3 For to thee will I pray: * O Lord, in the morning thou shalt hear my voice.
4 In the morning I will stand before thee, and will see: * because thou art not a God that willest iniquity.
5 Neither shall the wicked dwell near thee: * nor shall the unjust abide before thy eyes.
6 Thou hatest all the workers of iniquity: * Thou wilt destroy all that speak a lie.
7 The bloody and the deceitful man the Lord will abhor. * But as for me in the multitude of thy mercy,
8 I will come into thy house; * I will worship towards thy holy temple, in thy fear.
9 Conduct me, O Lord, in thy justice: * because of my enemies, direct my way in thy sight.
10 For there is no truth in their mouth; * their heart is vain.
11 Their throat is an open sepulchre: they dealt deceitfully with their tongues: * judge them, O God.
12 Let them fall from their devices: according to the multitude of their wickednesses cast them out: * for they have provoked thee, O Lord.
13 But let all them be glad that hope in thee: * they shall rejoice for ever, and thou shalt dwell in them.
14 And all they that love thy name shall glory in thee: * For thou wilt bless the just.

4 For I will behold thy heavens, the works of thy fingers: * the moon and the stars which thou hast founded.
5 What is man that thou art mindful of him? * or the son of man that thou visitest him?
6 Thou hast made him a little less than the angels, thou hast crowned him with glory and honour: * And hast set him over the works of thy hands.
7 Thou hast subjected all things under his feet, * all sheep and oxen: moreover the beasts also of the fields.

Cajetánus, nóbili Thienǽa gente Vicéntiæ ortus, statim a matre Deíparæ Vírgini oblátus est. Mira a téneris annis morum innocéntia in eo elúxit, ádeo ut Sanctus ab ómnibus nuncuparétur. Juris utriúsque laúream Patávii adéptus, Romam proféctus est: ubi inter prælátos a Júlio secúndo collocátus, et sacerdótio initiátus, tanto divíni amóris æstu succénsus est, ut relícta aula se totum Deo mancipáverit.

℟. Deo grátias.
Cajetan was born at Vicenza, (in the year 1480,) of the noble family of the lords of Tiene, and was forthwith dedicated by his mother to the Virgin Mother of God. From his childhood such wonderful innocence shone in him that all called him the Saint. He took the degree of Doctor in Civil and Canon Law at Padua, and afterwards went to Rome, where Julius II. gave him a place among the Prelates. Having taken Priest's Orders, he became so full of the fire of the love of God, that he left the Court, that he might be free to work entirely for God. He founded hospitals at his own expense, and nursed the sick, even such as were suffering from the plague, with his own hands. He laboured with such constant earnestness for the salvation of his neighbours that he got the name of the Hunter of souls.
But Thou, O Lord, have mercy on us.

Collápsam ecclesiasticórum disciplínam ad formam apostólicæ vitæ instauráre desíderans, órdinem Clericórum regulárium instítuit, qui, abdicáta rerum ómnium terrenárum sollicitúdine, nec réditus possidérent, nec vitæ subsídia a fidélibus péterent, sed solis eleemósynis sponte oblátis víverent. Itaque approbánte Cleménte séptimo ad aram máximam basílicæ Vaticánæ una cum Joánne Petro Caráfa epíscopo Theatíno, qui póstea Paulus quartus Póntifex Máximus fuit, et áliis duóbus exímiæ pietátis viris, vota solémnia emísit. In Urbis direptióne a milítibus crudelíssime vexátus ut pecúniam próderet, quam dudum in cœléstes thesaúros manus paúperum deportáverant, vérbera, torménta, et cárceres invícta patiéntia sustínuit. In suscépto vitæ institúto constantíssime perseverávit, soli divínæ providéntiæ inhǽrens, quam sibi numquam defuísse aliquándo mirácula comprobárunt.
Tu autem Dómine miserére nobis.
℟. Deo grátias.
From a desire to restore the corrupted discipline of the clergy to the mould of the Apostolic life, he founded, (in 1524,) a Congregation of Clerks Regular, who should give up all care of earthly things, neither keeping any income, nor begging the needful things of life from the faithful, but living only on such alms as might be given them unasked. For this end, and with the approval of Clement VII., Cajetan himself, together with John Peter Carafa, Archbishop of Chieti, (afterwards Pope Paul IV.), and two other men of eminent godliness, took solemn vows at the High Altar of St. Peter's Church on the Vatican. When the city of Rome was sacked by the troops (of the Constable de Bourbon, in 1527,) Cajetan was most cruelly illused to make him reveal his wealth, which had long before been laid up for him in heaven by the hands of the poor, and he endured with unconquered patience stripes, torture, and imprisonment. He held on bravely in the way of life he had taken up, trusting altogether to the Providence of God, Whose unfailing care of him was sometimes attested by miracles.
But Thou, O Lord, have mercy on us.
℟. Thanks be to God.

Divíni cultus stúdium, nitórem domus Dei, sacrórum rítuum observántiam, et sanctíssimæ Eucharístiæ frequentiórem usum máxime promóvit. Hǽresum monstra et látebras non semel detéxit, ac profligávit.

Romæ nocte natalítia ad præsépe Dómini, infántem Jesum accípere méruit a Deípara in ulnas suas.

Quem multis miráculis in vita et post mortem gloriósum, Clemens décimus Póntifex Máximus sanctórum número adscrípsit.
Tu autem Dómine miserére nobis.
℟. Deo grátias.
He was a great advancer of care in the worship of God, of splendour in the house of God, of exactness in the holy ceremonies, and of the often receiving of the most holy Eucharist. The hideous forms and dark convolutions of heresy he more than once unmasked and abolished. He would remain in prayer with abundance of tears as much as eight hours at a time. He was often thrown into trances, and was celebrated for the gift of prophecy. One Christmas night at Rome, when he was praying before the Lord's manger, he was deemed worthy that the Mother of God should lay the Child Jesus in his arms. He sometimes spent the whole night in whipping himself, nor could he ever be persuaded to soften the hardness of his life, but witnessed that he was fain to die in sackcloth and ashes. In the end he fell ill with grief at the offence against God, which the people of Naples committed by rebelling (against the establishment of the Inquisition.) Refreshed by a vision from heaven, he departed thither (on the 7th day of August, 1547.) His body lieth at Naples in the Church of St. Paul, where it is held in great reverence. Pope Clement X., finding him to have been illustrious for miracles, both during his life and after his death, enrolled his name among those of the Saints.
But Thou, O Lord, have mercy on us.
℟. Thanks be to God.

Matth. 6. c.
In illo témpore: Dixit Jesus discípulis suis: Nemo potest duóbus dóminis servíre. Et réliqua.
At that time: Jesus said unto His disciples: No man can serve two masters. And so on.
Homilía sancti Augustíni Epíscopi.
Homily by St. Austin, Bishop.
Liber 2. de Sermone Domini in monte, cap. 14.
Nemo potest duóbus dóminis servíre. Ad hanc ipsam intentiónem referéndum est quod consequénter expónit, dicens: Aut enim unum ódio habébit, et álterum díliget: aut álterum patiétur, et álterum contémnet. Quæ verba diligénter consideránda sunt: nam, qui sint duo dómini, deínceps osténdit, cum dicit: Non potéstis Deo servíre, et mammónæ. Mammóna apud Hebrǽos divítiæ appellári dicúntur. Cóngruit et Púnicum nomen: nam lucrum Púnice mammon dícitur. ¶ Sed qui servit mammónæ, illi útique servit, qui rebus istis terrénis mérito suæ perversitátis præpósitus, magistrátus hujus sǽculi a Dómino dícitur. Aut enim unum ódio habébit homo, et álterum díliget, id est, Deum: aut álterum patiétur, et álterum contémnet. Patiétur enim durum et perniciósum dóminum, quisquis servit mammónæ; sua enim cupiditáte implicátus, súbditur diábolo, et non eum díligit. Quis enim est qui díligat diábolum? sed tamen pátitur.
Tu autem Dómine miserére nobis.
℟. Deo grátias.
No man can serve two masters, and this is further explained; for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. These words we ought carefully to weigh, for the Lord showeth straightway who be the two masters whom we have choice of: Ye cannot serve God and Mammon. Mammon is a term which the Hebrews are said to use for riches. It is also a Carthaginian word; for the Punic for gain is mammon. ¶ He which serveth mammon, serveth that evil one who hath perversely chosen to be lord of these earthly things, and is called by the Lord the prince of this world. Of these two masters, either a man will hate the one and love the other, that is God: or he will hold to the one and despise the other. He which serveth mammon holdeth to an hard and destroying master, for he is led captive by his lust, and sold a slave to the devil, and him loveth no man: is there any man that loveth the devil? And yet there be that hold to him.
But Thou, O Lord, have mercy on us.
℟. Thanks be to God.

℟. Deo grátias.
Therefore, I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on lest, albeit such things are not idle, but needful to be sought after, yet the seeking for things even needful should divide the heart; and our intention should be corrupted when we do something as it were mercifully; that is, lest, when we would seem to be seeking another's good, it should be profit to ourselves, rather than benefit to him, that we seek; and therefore we seem not to ourselves to sin, because we would seek things not idle, but needful.

S. Donati Ep. et Mart.
Donátus, paréntibus propter Jesu Christi fidem interféctis, Arrétium in Etrúriam cum Hilaríno mónacho ex fuga se cóntulit: cujus étiam urbis epíscopus creátus est. Ubi cum a Quadratiáno præfécto in Juliáni persecutióne utérque idóla venerári juberétur, negántibus illis se tam nefárium scelus commissúros, Hilarínus in óculis Quadratiáni támdiu fústibus cæsus est, dum effláret ánimam: Donátus veheménter et ipse cruciátus, gládio percússus est. Quorum córpora a Christiánis prope eam urbem honorífice sepúlta sunt.
Tu autem Dómine miserére nobis.
℟. Deo grátias.
Donatus was the child of a father and mother who had both been slain for Jesus Christ's sake. He fled with the monk Hilarinus to Arezzo in Tuscany, of which city he afterwards became Bishop. There the Praefect Quadratian, during the persecution under Julian, commanded both Hilarinus and Donatus to worship idols, and when they both refused to commit such abominable iniquity, Hilarinus was beaten with clubs before the eyes of Quadratian, until he gave up the ghost. Donatus also was savagely tortured, and slain with the sword. The Christians buried their bodies honourably hard by the city.
But Thou, O Lord, have mercy on us.
