Hymnus {ex Commune aut Festo}
Iam Christus astra ascénderat,
Revérsus unde vénerat,
Patris fruéndum múnere,
Sanctum datúrus Spíritum.
Solémnis urgébat dies,
Quo mýstico septémplici
Orbis volútus sépties,
Signat beáta témpora.
Cum lucis hora tértia
Repénte mundus íntonat,
Apóstolis orántibus
Deum veníre núntiat.
De Patris ergo lúmine
Decórus ignis almus est,
Qui fida Christi péctora
Calóre Verbi cómpleat.
Impléta gaudent víscera,
Affláta Sancto Spíritu,
Vocésque divérsas sonant,
Fantur Dei magnália.
Notíque cunctis Géntibus,
Græcis, Latínis, Bárbaris,
Simúlque demirántibus,
Linguis loquúntur ómnium.
Iudǽa tunc incrédula,
Vesána torvo spíritu,
Madére musto sóbrios
Christi fidéles íncrepat.
Sed éditis miráculis
Occúrrit, et docet Petrus,
Falsum profári pérfidos,
Ioéle teste cómprobans.
Deo Patri sit glória,
Et Fílio, qui a mórtuis
Surréxit, ac Paráclito,
In sæculórum sǽcula.
Amen.

Hymn {from the Common or Feast}
Now Christ, ascending whence he came,
Had mounted o'er the starry frame,
The Holy Ghost on man below,
The Father's promise, to bestow.
The solemn time was drawing nigh,
Replete with heav'nly mystery,
On seven days' sevenfold circles borne,
That first and blessèd Whitsun-morn.
When the third hour shone all around,
There came a rushing mighty sound,
And told the Apostles, while in prayer,
That, as was promised, God was there.
Forth from the Father's light it came,
That beautiful and kindly flame:
To fill with fervour of his word
The spirits faithful to their Lord.
With joy the Apostles' breasts are fired,
By God the Holy Ghost inspired:
And straight, in diverse kinds of speech,
The wondrous works of God they preach.
To men of every race they speak,
Alike barbarian, Roman, Greek:
From the same lips, with awe and fear,
All men their native accents hear.
But Juda's sons, e'en faithless yet,
With mad infuriate rage beset,
To mock Christ's followers combine,
As drunken all with new-made wine.
When lo! with signs and mighty deeds,
Stands Peter in the midst, and pleads;
Confounding their malignant lie
By Joel's ancient prophecy.
To God the Father let us sing,
To God the Son, our risen King,
And equally let us adore
The Spirit, God forevermore.
Amen.

67:7 Who bringeth out them that were bound in strength; * in like manner them that provoke, that dwell in sepulchres.
67:8 O God, when thou didst go forth in the sight of thy people, * when thou didst pass through the desert:
67:9 The earth was moved, and the heavens dropped at the presence of the God of Sinai, * at the presence of the God of Israel.

67:15 When he that is in heaven appointeth kings over her, * they shall be whited with snow in Selmon.
67:16 The mountain of God is a fat mountain, a curdled mountain, a fat mountain; * Why suspect, ye curdled mountains?

67:23 The Lord said: I will turn them from Basan, * I will turn them into the depth of the sea:
67:24 That thy foot may be dipped in the blood of thy enemies; * the tongue of thy dogs be red with the same.
67:25 They have seen thy goings, O God, * the goings of my God: of my king who is in his sanctuary.
67:26 Princes went before joined with singers, * in the midst of young damsels playing on timbrels.

103:23 Man shall go forth to his work, * and to his labour until the evening.
103:24 How great are thy works, O Lord? * thou hast made all things in wisdom: the earth is filled with thy riches.

103:26 Creatures little and great. * There the ships shall go.
103:27 This sea dragon which thou hast formed to play therein. * All expect of thee that thou give them food in season.
103:28 What thou givest to them they shall gather up: * when thou openest thy hand, they shall all be filled with good.
103:29 But if thou turnest away thy face, they shall be troubled: * thou shalt take away their breath, and they shall fail, and shall return to their dust.

Continuation of the Holy Gospel according to Luke
Luke 9:1-6
At that time: Jesus called His twelve disciples together, and gave them power and authority over all devils, and to cure diseases. And so on.
Homily by St. Ambrose, Bishop of Milan
Bk. 6 on Luke ix
We learn from the commandments of the Gospel what manner of men they ought to be who preach the glad tidings of the kingdom of God "Take nothing for your journey neither staves nor scrip, neither bread neither money." Thus let the Apostle destitute of earthly help, and panoplies in faith, deem himself able to do all the more, as he needeth all the less Such as please may also put upon these words a spiritual interpretation in that a man may be said to lay as the encumbrances of the body, not only by abdicating power, and casting away riches, but also by denying the very body itself its pleasures. The first general commandment given to the Apostles touching their manners was to be bringers of peace, Matth. x. 13, and to be no gadders about, but keepers of the laws of guests. To wander from house to house, and to abuse the rights of hospitality, are things alien to a preacher of the kingdom of heaven.
℣. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.
℟. Thanks be to God.
℟. The fire of God fell, not to burn them, but to enlighten them not to devour them, but to illuminate them and found the hearts of the disciples clean vessels.
* And He gave them gifts of His grace. Alleluia, Alleluia.
℣. He found them one in love, and the out-poured grace of the Godhead shone through them.
℟. And He gave them gifts of His grace. Alleluia, Alleluia.

Sed, ut hospítii grátia deferénda censétur: ita étiam, si non recipiántur, excutiéndum púlverem, et egrediéndum de civitáte mandátur. Quo non medíocris boni remunerátio docétur hospítii: ut non solum pacem tribuámus hospítibus, verum étiam, si qua eos terrénæ obúmbrant delícta levitátis, recéptis apostólicæ prædicatiónis vestígiis auferántur. Nec otióse secúndum Matthǽum, domus, quam ingrediántur Apóstoli, eligénda decérnitur: ut mutándi hospítii, necessitudinísque violándæ causa non súppetat. Non tamen éadem cáutio receptóri mandátur hospítii: ne, dum hospes elígitur, hospitálitas ipsa minuátur.
℣. Tu autem, Dómine, miserére nobis.
℟. Deo grátias.
℟. Spíritus Sanctus replévit totam domum, ubi erant Apóstoli: et apparuérunt illis dispertítæ linguæ, tamquam ignis, sedítque supra síngulos eórum:
* Et repléti sunt omnes Spíritu Sancto, et cœpérunt loqui váriis linguis, prout Spíritus Sanctus dabat éloqui illis, allelúia, allelúia, allelúia.
℣. Dum ergo essent in unum discípuli congregáti propter metum Iudæórum, sonus repénte de cælo venit super eos.
℟. Et repléti sunt omnes Spíritu Sancto, et cœpérunt loqui váriis linguis, prout Spíritus Sanctus dabat éloqui illis, allelúia, allelúia, allelúia.

But as the kindness of hospitality is to be met with courtesy, so also is it said "Whosoever will not receive you, when ye go out of that city, shake off the very dust from your feet, for a testimony against them." Hereby is it taught that hospitality doth meet with a good reward, since not only do we bring peace to such as receive us, but also, if they be shadowed by some earthly vanities, these defects are taken away, where enter the feet of them that bear the glad tidings of Apostolic preachment. It is well written in Matthew x. 11: "Into whatsoever city or town ye shall enter, inquire who in it is worthy and there abide till ye go thence" thus avoiding any possible need of going from house to house. But no such selection is commanded to him that giveth hospitality, lest his hospitality itself should be lessened, while he picketh his guests.
℣. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.
℟. Thanks be to God.
℟. The Holy Ghost filled all the house where the Apostles were and there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of fire, and it sat upon each of them.
* And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak in diverse tongues as the Holy Spirit gave them utterance. Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia.
℣. When the disciples were all with one accord in one place, for fear of the Jews, suddenly there came a sound from heaven upon them.
℟. And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak in diverse tongues as the Holy Spirit gave them utterance. Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia.
℣. Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, * and to the Holy Ghost.

Sed hæc, ut secúndum lítteram de hospítii religióne venerábilis est forma præcépti: ita étiam de mystério senténtia cæléstis arrídet. Etenim cum domus elígitur, dignus hospes inquíritur. Videámus ígitur, ne forte Ecclésia præferénda designétur, et Christus. Quæ enim dígnior domus apostólicæ prædicatiónis ingréssu, quam sancta Ecclésia? Aut quis præferéndus magis ómnibus vidétur esse quam Christus, qui pedes suis laváre consuévit hospítibus: et quoscúmque sua recéperit domo, pollútis non patiátur habitáre vestígiis; sed maculósos licet vitæ prióris, in réliquum tamen dignétur mundáre procéssus? Hic est ígitur solus, quem nemo debet desérere, nemo mutáre. Cui bene dícitur: Dómine, ad quem íbimus? verba vitæ ætérnæ habes, et nos crédimus.

Reading 3
This passage, taken according to the plain meaning, is a sacred commandment touching the religious duty of hospitality, but its heavenly words likewise hint at a mystery. When the house is chosen, it is asked if the master thereof be worthy. Let us see if this be not perchance a figure of the Church, and her Master, Christ. What worthier house can the Apostolic preacher enter, than the Holy Church? Or what host is more to be preferred before all others, than Christ, Whose use it is to wash the feet of His guests yea, Who suffereth not that any whom He receiveth into His house should dwell there with foul feet, but, defiled as they are by their former wanderings, doth vouchsafe to change them into new and clean livers. He Alone is He, from Whose house no man ought ever to go forth, nor change His roof for any other shelter, for unto Him it is well said "Lord, to whom shall we go? Thou hast the words of eternal life, and we believe." John vi. 68, 69.
℣. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.
℟. Thanks be to God.
Te Deum
We praise thee, O God, * we acknowledge thee to be the Lord.
All the earth doth worship thee, * the Father everlasting.
To thee all Angels cry aloud, * the Heavens, and all the Powers therein.
To thee Cherubim and Seraphim * continually do cry.
bow head Holy, Holy, Holy * Lord God of Sabaoth;
Heaven and earth are full * of the Majesty of thy glory.
The glorious company of the Apostles * praise thee.
The goodly fellowship of the Prophets * praise thee.
The noble army of Martyrs * praise thee.
The holy Church throughout all the world * doth acknowledge thee;
The Father, * of an infinite Majesty.
Thine honourable, true, * and only Son;
Also the Holy Ghost, * the Comforter.
Thou art the King of Glory, * O Christ.
Thou art the everlasting * Son of the Father.
During the following verse all make a profound bow: When thou tookest upon thee to deliver man, * thou didst not abhor the Virgin's womb.
When thou hadst overcome the sharpness of death, * thou didst open the Kingdom of Heaven to all believers.
Thou sittest at the right hand of God, * in the glory of the Father.
We believe that thou shalt come * to be our Judge.
Kneel for the following verse
We therefore pray thee, help thy servants, * whom thou hast redeemed with thy precious Blood.
Make them to be numbered with thy Saints, * in glory everlasting.
O Lord, save thy people, * and bless thine heritage.
Govern them, * and lift them up for ever.
Day by day * we magnify thee;
During the following verse, by local custom, all make a profound bow. And we worship thy Name * ever, world without end.
Vouchsafe, O Lord, to keep us * this day without sin.
O Lord, have mercy upon us, * have mercy upon us.
O Lord, let thy mercy lighten upon us, * as our trust is in thee.
O Lord, in thee have I trusted, * let me never be confounded.
