Epistle
Léctio libri TobíæLesson from the book of Tobias
Tob 12:7-15
In diébus illis: Dixit Angelus Ráphaël ad Tobíam: Sacraméntum regis abscóndere bonum est: ópera autem Dei reveláre et confitéri honoríficum est. Bona est orátio cum jejúnio, et eleemósyna magis quam thesáuros auri recóndere: quóniam eleemósyna a morte liberat, et ipsa est, quæ purgat peccáta et facit invenire misericórdiam et vitam ætérnam. Qui autem faciunt peccátum et iniquitátem, hostes sunt ánimæ suæ. Manifésto ergo vobis veritátem, et non abscóndam a vobis occúltum sermónem. Quando orábas cum lácrimis, et sepeliébas mórtuos, et derelinquébas prándium tuum, et mórtuos abscondébas per diem in domo tua, et nocte sepeliébas eos, ego óbtuli oratiónem tuam Dómino. Et quia accéptus eras Deo, necésse fuit, ut tentátio probáret te. Et nunc misit me Dóminus, ut curárem te, et Saram uxórem fílii tui a dæmónio liberárem. Ego enim sum Raphaël Angelus, unus ex septem, qui astámus ante Dóminum.In those days, the Angel Raphael said to Tobias: It is good to hide the secret of a king: but honorable to reveal and confess the works of God. Prayer is good with fasting and alms, more than to lay up treasures of gold: for alms delivers from death, and the same is that which purges away sins, and makes to find mercy and life everlasting. But they who commit sin and iniquity are enemies to their own soul. I discover then the truth to you, and I will not hide the secret from you. When you prayed with tears, and buried the dead, and left your dinner, and hid the dead by day in your house, and buried them by night, I offered your prayer to the Lord. And because you were acceptable to God, it was necessary that temptation should prove you. And now the Lord has sent me to heal you, and to deliver Sara your son’s wife from the devil. For I am the angel Raphael, one of the seven who stand before the Lord.

Gospel
Sequéntia ☩ sancti Evangélii secúndum JoánnemContinuation ☩ of the Holy Gospel according to John
Joann 5:1-4
In illo témpore: Erat dies festus Judæórum, et ascéndit Jesus Jerosólymam. Est autem Jerosólymis Probática piscína, quæ cognominátur hebráice Bethsaida, quinque pórticus habens. In his jacébat multitúdo magna languéntium, cæcórum, claudórum, aridórum exspectántium aquæ motum. Angelus autem Dómini descendébat secúndum tempus in piscínam, et movebátur aqua. Et, qui prior descendísset in piscínam post motiónem aquæ, sanus fiebat, a quacúmque detinebátur infirmitáte.At that time, there was a feast of the Jews, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem. Now there is at Jerusalem, by the Sheepgate, a pool called in Hebrew Bethsaida, having five porticoes. In these were lying a great multitude of the sick, blind, lame, and those with shriveled limbs, waiting for the moving of the water. For an Angel of the Lord used to come down at certain times into the pool, and the water was troubled. And the first to go down into the pool after the troubling of the water was cured of whatever infirmity he had.
Offertory
Apoc 8:3; 8:4
Stetit Angelus juxta aram templi, habens thuríbulum áureum in manu sua, et data sunt ei incénsa multa: et ascéndit fumus aromátum in conspéctu Dei.An Angel stood near the altar of the temple, having a golden censer in his hand, and there was given to him much incense; and the smoke of the perfumes ascended before God. Alleluia.

Vere dignum et justum est, æquum et salutáre, nos tibi semper et ubíque grátias ágere: Dómine sancte, Pater omnípotens, ætérne Deus: per Christum, Dóminum nostrum.

Through whom the Angels praise Thy Majesty, the Dominions adore it, the Powers are in awe. Which the heavens and the hosts of heaven together with the blessed Seraphim joyfully do magnify. And do Thou command that it be permitted us to join with them in confessing Thee, while we say with lowly praise:
