INTROIT Eccli. 11.13
The eye of God hath looked upon him for good, and he hath lifted him up from his low estate and hath exalted his head; and many have been in admiration of him and have glorified God. Ps. 72.1. How good is God to Israel, to those whose heart is upright. V. Glory be.
COLLECT
O God, thou didst teach blessed Gabriel to meditate constantly on the sorrows of thy most sweet Mother, and thou didst exalt him by glorious virtues and miracles. Through his prayers and example, may we share the sorrows of thy Mother and come to eternal life under her motherly care; who livest and reignest.
EPISTLE I John 2.14-17
Beloved, I write unto you, young men, because you are strong, and the word of God abideth in you, and you have overcome the wicked one. Love not the world, nor the things which are in the world. If any man love the world, the charity of the Father is not in him. For all that is in the world is the concupiscence of the flesh and the concupiscence of the eyes and the pride of life, which is not of the Father but is of the world. And the world passeth away and the concupiscence thereof: but he that doth the will of God abideth for ever.
GRADUAL Ps. 30.20
How great and manifold are the delights, O Lord, which thou hast stored up for those who fear thee. V. Which thou showest to them who hope in thee, in the sight of the children of men.
TRACT Ps. 83.6-7, 11, 13
Blessed is the man whose help is from thee; who hath determined in his heart to make the journey through the vale of tears to the place he seeketh. V. I had rather to be one of the lowest in the house of my God than to live in the dwelling place of sinners.
V. He will not withhold good things from those who walk in innocence. O Lord of hosts, blessed is the man who trusteth in thee.
+ The Continuation of the Holy Gospel according to Mark 10.13-21
At that time, they brought to him young children, that he might touch them. And the disciples rebuked them that brought them. Whom when Jesus saw, he was much displeased and saith to them: Suffer the little children to come unto me and forbid them not: for of such is the kingdom of God. Amen I say to you, whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child shall not enter into it. And embracing them and laying his hands upon them, he blessed them. And when he was gone forth into the way, a certain man, running up and kneeling before him, asked him: Good Master, what shall I do that I may receive life everlasting? And Jesus said to him: Why callest thou me good? None is good but one, that is God. Thou knowest the commandments: Do not commit adultery, do not kill, do not steal, bear not false witness, do no fraud, honour thy father and mother. But he answering, said to him: Master, all these things I have observed from my youth. And Jesus, looking on him, loved him and said to him: One thing is wanting unto thee. Go, sell whatsoever thou hast and give to the poor: and thou shalt have treasure in heaven. And come, follow me.
OFFERTORY Ps. 115.16-17
O Lord, I am thy servant, and the son of thy handmaiden. Thou hast loosed my bonds. I will offer unto thee a sacrifice of praise.
SECRET
We offer thee, O Lord, this life-giving sacrifice in memory of blessed Gabriel. Make us always remember the sacrifice of thy death, and let us share in the abundant effects of that sacrifice through the merits of the sorrowing Virgin; who livest and reignest.
COMMUNION Apoc. 3.20
Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If any man listeneth to my voice and openeth the door unto me, I will come in to him and will sup with him, and he with me.
POSTCOMMUNION
O Lord, on this feast of thine holy confessor Gabriel, we give thanks for all we have received from thee. Graciously accept our gratitude through the hands of the glorious Ever-Virgin Mary, from whom thou didst take flesh, the same flesh that we have received in this Banquet of Salvation; who livest and reignest.
