Traditional Latin Mass for 11th Sunday after Pentecost. Sunday August 4th 

Mass

The earned and pious Abbot Rupert, writing on this Sunday's Mass previous to the change made in the order of the Gospel lessons, thus explains the Church's reason for selecting the following Introit: The publican in the Gospel accuses himself, saying " I am not worthy to lift up mine eyes to Heaven" St. Paul, in the Epistle, does in like manner, and says: " I am the least of the apostles, who am not worthy to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the Church of God." As  then, this humility, which is set before us that we may practice it, is the guardian of the union between the servants of God, because it keeps them from being puffed up one against another, it is most appropriate that we should first sing the Introit, which tells us that God maketh men, in His house abide together as though they were all but one soul.(Taken from The Liturgical year Volume 11 time after Pentecost book 2 pg.273)

Introit

God in his sanctuary: God, who maketh brethren abide together in the house: he will give might and strength to his people. Ps. Let God arise, and his enemies shall be dispersed; and let those that hate him flee before his face. Glory et. God.
