COLLECT

O God, who didst choose blessed Raymund to be eminent as a minister of the Sacrament of Penance and didst lead him in wondrous wise through the waves of the sea: grant that by his intercession we may be able to bring forth worthy fruits of penance and to reach the port of everlasting salvation. Through.

Commemoration: Fifth Sunday after Epiphany (transferred)

Keep, we beseech thee, O Lord, thy household in thine unceasing goodness that, as it leans only upon the hope of thy heavenly grace, so it may be always defended by thy protection. Through.

Commemoration: Of St. Emerentiana.

May blessed Emerentiana, thy Virgin and Martyr, we beseech thee, O Lord, obtain pardon for us: both by her chastity and by her confession of thy power, she was ever pleasing to thee. 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.

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 evils. Through.

Graciously receive, O Lord, the offerings consecrated to thee by the merits of blessed Emerentiana, thy Virgin and Martyr, and grant that they may ever bring us help. 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

We who are refreshed by heavenly meat and drink, humbly entreat thee, O our God, that we may be defended by the prayers of him in whose memory we have received them. Through.
