             From The 1960 Breviary Monday at Lauds II
             Psalm 5                  
                                     Hearken to my words O Lord,
                                         attend to my sighing.
                                     Heed my call for help
                                         my king and my God!
                                     To you I pray, O Lord;
                                         at dawn you hear my voice;
                                         at dawn I bring my plea expectantly before you.
                                     For you, O God, delight not in wickedness;
                                         no evil man remains with you;
                                         the arrogant may not stand in your sight.
                                    You hate all evildoers;
                                         you destroy all who speak falsehood;
                                     The bloodthirsty and the deceitful
                                         the Lord abhors.
                                     But I, because of your abundant kindness,
                                         will enter your house;
                                     I will worship at your holy temple
                                         in fear of you, O Lord;
                                     Because of my enemies, guide me in your justice;
                                         make straight your way before me.
                                     For in their mouth there is no sincerity;
                                         their heart teems with treacheries.
                                     Their throat is an open grave;
                                         they flatter with their tongue.
                                      Punish them, O God;
                                         let them fall by their own devices;
                                      For their many sins, cast them out
                                         because they rebelled against you.
                                      But let all who take refuge in you
                                         be glad and exult forever.
                                      Protect them, that you may be the joy
                                         of those who love your name.
                                      For you, O Lord, bless the just man;
                                         you surround him with the shield of your good will.

Through the merits of the same Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

The Last Gospel: Read at the end of every Traditional Latin Mass

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by Him: and without Him was made nothing that was made. In Him was life, and the life was the light of men. And the Light shineth in darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it. There was a man sent from God, whose name was John. This man came for a witness, to give testimony of the Light, that all men might believe through Him. He was not the Light, but was to give testimony of the Light. That was the true Light, which enlighteneth every man that cometh into this world. He was in the world, and the world was made by Him, and the world knew Him not.

He came unto His own, and His own received Him not. But as many as received Him, He gave them power to be made the sons of God, to them that believe in His name. Who are born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God. (here all kneel) AND THE WORD WAS MADE FLESH AND DWELT AMONG US, and we saw His glory, the glory as it were of the Only Begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth."
Thanks be to God.

Latin Version here

"In principio erat Verbum et Verbum erat apud Deum et Deus erat Verbum. Hoc erat in principio apud Deum. Omnia per Ipsum facta sunt, et sine Ipso factum est nihil quod factum est. In Ipso vita erat, et vita erat Lux hominum. Et Lux in tenebris lucet et tenebrae eam non comprehenderuntFuit homo missus a Deo cui nomen erat Iohannes. Hic venit in testimonium ut testimonium perhiberet de lumine ut omnes crederent per Illum. Non erat ille lux, sed ut testimonium perhiberet de lumine. Erat lux vera quae illuminat omnem hominem venientem in mundum. In mundo erat, et mundus per ipsum factus est, et mundus eum non cognovit.

In propria venit et sui eum non receperunt. Quotquot autem receperunt eum dedit eis potestatem filios Dei, fieri his qui credunt in nomine Eius. Qui non ex sanguinibus, neque ex voluntate carnis, neque ex voluntate viri, sed ex Deo nati sunt. (All kneel at the following) ET VERBUM CARO FACTUM EST, et habitavit in nobis, et vidimus gloriam eius, gloriam quasi unigeniti a Patre, plenum gratiae et veritatis.
Deo gratias.

I Love you Jesus 

In The Most Blessed Sacrament of The Altar

Sanctus Sanctus Sanctus

         Happy Anniversary Fr. Villa

                                
                               THE PRIESTLY ROBE

Touch it lightly, or not at all.

Let it not fall !

Let not a fabric so august

Trail in the dust!

`Tis a costly thing,

Woven by love in suffering.

`Twas Jesus` parting gift to men.

When the Lord rose to Heaven again,

His latest breathing fell on it.

A mystery hides within its folds.

Quickened by sacramental breath,

It holds

The power of life and death.

Would you sully it ? Would you rend it?

Is there a Christian would not defend it-

A robe so costly and so rare,

So wonderfully fair ?

Woe to the hand profane

Woe to the heart ungracious,

Woe to the tongue unheeding,

Would dare to cast a stain

On a vestment made so precious

By such costly bleeding!

II

I know this robe and its history,

And what strange virtue goeth forth

From its hem to bless the earth;

And I adore the mystery

That gives it grace,

In Jesus` name, to soothe and heal.

With more than human tenderness

I prize the priestly order;

And, while the reverent knee I kneel,

I do not see beneath the border

Frail feet of clay,

But seek to find, if so I may,

By feeling,

Some gracious thread which will convey

To my sore spirit healing.

Vicars of Christ ! deem me not rude,

If nearer than is wont I press me;

But turn and bless me

Amid the kneeling multitude.

The priestly robe  Rev. Clarence Walworth  anno 1888

                                       Epistle Of St. Peter (1)
                                                       Chapter 1

1) Peter, an apostle of Jesus Christ, to the strangers dispersed through Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia, and Bithynia, elect, 2) According to the foreknowledge of God the Father, unto the sanctification of the Spirit, unto obedience and sprinkling of the blood of Jesus Christ: Grace unto you and peace be multiplied. 3) Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who according to his great mercy hath regenerated us unto a lively hope, by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, 4) Unto an inheritance incorruptible, and undefiled, and that can not fade, reserved in heaven for you, 5) Who, by the power of God, are kept by faith unto salvation, ready to be revealed in the last time.

6) Wherein you shall greatly rejoice, if now you must be for a little time made sorrowful in divers temptations: 7) That the trial of your faith (much more precious than gold which is tried by the fire) may be found unto praise and glory and honour at the appearing of Jesus Christ: 8) Whom having not seen, you love: in whom also now, though you see him not, you believe: and believing shall rejoice with joy unspeakable and glorified; 9) Receiving the end of your faith, even the salvation of your souls. 10) Of which salvation the prophets have inquired and diligently searched, who prophesied of the grace to come in you.

11) Searching what or what manner of time the Spirit of Christ in them did signify: when it foretold those sufferings that are in Christ, and the glories that should follow: 12) To whom it was revealed, that not to themselves, but to you they ministered those things which are now declared to you by them that have preached the gospel to you, the Holy Ghost being sent down from heaven, on whom the angels desire to look. 13) Wherefore having the loins of your mind girt up, being sober, trust perfectly in the grace which is offered you in the revelation of Jesus Christ, 14) As children of obedience, not fashioned according to the former desires of your ignorance: 15) But according to him that hath called you, who is holy, be you also in all manner of conversation holy:

16) Because it is written: You shall be holy, for I am holy. 17) And if you invoke as Father him who, without respect of persons, judgeth according to every one's work: converse in fear during the time of your sojourning here. 18) Knowing that you were not redeemed with corruptible things as gold or silver, from your vain conversation of the tradition of your fathers: 19) But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb unspotted and undefiled, 20) Foreknown indeed before the foundation of the world, but manifested in the last times for you,

21) Who through him are faithful in God, who raised him up from the dead, and hath given him glory, that your faith and hope might be in God. 22) Purifying your souls in the obedience of charity, with a brotherly love, from a sincere heart love one another earnestly: 23) Being born again not of corruptible seed, but incorruptible, by the word of God who liveth and remaineth for ever. 24) For all flesh is as grass; and all the glory thereof as the flower of grass. The grass is withered, and the flower thereof is fallen away. 25) But the word of the Lord endureth for ever. And this is the word which by the gospel hath been preached unto you.

St. Peter Ora Pro Nobis
