31 August 2014 - Saint Raymond Nonnatus, Confessor (Eleventh Sunday after Trinity)


Double - White

INTROIT Ps. 36.30-31.

The mouth of the just shall meditate wisdom and his tongue shall speak judgement: the law of his God is in his heart. Ps. 36.1. Be not emulous of evildoers: nor envy them that work iniquity. V.: Glory be.

COLLECT

O God, who didst by thy grace make blessed Raymond, thy Confessor, work wonders in redeeming thy faithful from bondage among the infidels: grant we beseech thee, by his intercession, that being loosed from the bondage of our sins, we may be at liberty to do consistently what pleases thee. Through.

Commemoration: Trinity XI

O almighty and merciful God, of whose only gift it cometh that thy faithful people do unto thee worthy and laudable service: grant unto us, we beseech thee, that we may run without stumbling towards the attainment of thy promises. Through.

LESSON Ecclus. 31.8-11.

Blessed is the man that is found without blemish, and that hath not gone after gold, nor put his trust in money nor in treasures. Who is he, and we will praise him? For he hath done wonderful things in his life. Who hath been tried thereby, and made perfect, he shall have glory everlasting: he that could have transgressed, and hath not transgressed: and could do evil things, and hath not done them: therefore are his goods established in the Lord, and all the Church of the Saints shall declare his alms.

GRADUAL Ps. 91.13,14.

The just shall flourish like the palm tree: he shall grow up like the cedar of Libanus in the house of the Lord.

Alleluia, alleluia. V.: James 1.12. Blessed is the man that endureth temptation: for when he hath been proved, he shall receive the crown of life. Alleluia.

+ The Continuation of the Holy Gospel according to Luke (12.35-40)

At that time, Jesus said to his disciples: Let your loins be girt, and lamps burning in your hands. And you yourselves like to men who wait for their lord, when he shall return from the wedding; that when he cometh and knocketh, they may open to him immediately. Blessed are those servants, whom the lord when he cometh, shall find watching. Amen I say to you, that he will gird himself, and make them sit down to meat, and passing will minister unto them. And if he shall come in the second watch, or come in the third watch, and find them so, blessed are those servants. But this know ye, that if the householder did know at what hour the thief would come, he would surely watch, and would not suffer his house to be broken open. Be you then also ready: for at what hour you think not, the Son of Man will come.

The Creed is said for the Sunday.

OFFERTORY Ps. 88.25.

My truth and my mercy shall be with him, and in my Name shall his horn be exalted.

SECRET

In memory of thy Saints, O Lord, we offer thee the sacrifice of praise, by which we trust to be freed from both present and future evil. Through.

Commemoration: Trinity XI

Graciously look upon the Sacrifices, we beseech thee, O Lord, which we present upon thine altar: that while they obtain pardon for us, they may give honor to thy Name. Through.

Communion Matt. 24.46-47.

Blessed is that servant, whom when his lord cometh he shall find watching: amen I say to you, he shall place him over all his goods.

POSTCOMMUNION

Refreshed by meat and drink from heaven, O God, we humbly entreat thee, that we may be protected by the prayers of him in whose memory we have partaken. Through.

Commemoration: Trinity XI

May the holy reception of this Mystery, we beseech thee, O Lord, quicken us: and may it win for us both pardon and protection. Through.
