Incipit
secreto
Pater noster, qui es in cælis, sanctificétur nomen tuum: advéniat regnum tuum: fiat volúntas tua, sicut in cælo et in terra. Panem nostrum quotidiánum da nobis hódie: et dimítte nobis débita nostra, sicut et nos dimíttimus debitóribus nostris: et ne nos indúcas in tentatiónem: sed líbera nos a malo. Amen.
Ave María, grátia plena; Dóminus tecum: benedícta tu in muliéribus, et benedíctus fructus ventris tui Jesus. Sancta María, Mater Dei, ora pro nobis peccatóribus, nunc et in hora mortis nostræ. Amen.
Credo in Deum, Patrem omnipoténtem, Creatórem cæli et terræ. Et in Jesum Christum, Fílium ejus únicum, Dóminum nostrum: qui concéptus est de Spíritu Sancto, natus ex María Vírgine,
passus sub Póntio Piláto, crucifíxus, mórtuus, et sepúltus: descéndit ad ínferos; tértia die resurréxit a mórtuis; ascéndit ad cælos; sedet ad déxteram Dei Patris omnipoténtis: inde ventúrus est judicáre vivos et mórtuos. Credo in Spíritum Sanctum, sanctam Ecclésiam cathólicam,
Sanctórum communiónem, remissiónem peccatórum, carnis resurrectiónem, vitam ætérnam. Amen.

Deinde, clara voce, dicitur Versus:
℣. Dómine, lábia +︎ mea apéries.
℟. Et os meum annuntiábit laudem tuam.
℣. Deus in adjutórium meum inténde.

Sicut erat in princípio, et nunc, et semper, * et in sǽcula sæculórum. Amen.
Laus tibi, Dómine, Rex ætérnæ glóriæ.
Start
silently
Our Father, who art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation: But deliver us from evil. Amen.
Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee; blessed art thou amongst women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death. Amen.
I believe in God, the Father almighty, Creator of heaven and earth. And in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord; who was conceived by the Holy Ghost, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died and was buried: he descended into hell; the third day he arose again from the dead; he ascended into heaven; sitteth at the right hand of God the Father almighty: from thence he shall come to judge the living and the dead. I believe in the Holy Ghost, the holy catholic Church, the communion of Saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and life everlasting. Amen.

Thereafter, with hearable voice, the Versicle is said:
℣. O Lord, +︎ open thou my lips.
℟. And my mouth shall declare thy praise.
℣. O God, come to my assistance;
℟. O Lord, make haste to help me.
Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, * and to the Holy Ghost.
As it was in the beginning, is now, * and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.
Praise be to thee, O Lord, King of eternal glory.

Hymnus {ex Proprio Sanctorum}
Quodcúmque in orbe néxibus revínxeris,
Erit revínctum, Petre, in arce síderum:
Et quod resólvit hic potéstas trádita,
Erit solútum cæli in alto vértice;
In fine mundi judicábis sǽculum.

Patri perénne sit per ævum glória,
Tibíque laudes concinámus ínclitas,
Ætérne Nate; sit, supérne Spíritus,
Honor tibi decúsque: sancta júgiter
Laudétur omne Trínitas per sǽculum.
Amen.
Hymn {from the Proper of Saints}
Peter, whatever thou shalt bind on earth,
The same is bound above the starry sky;
What here thy delegated power doth loose,
Is loosed in heaven's supremest court on high:
To judgement shalt thou come, when the world's end is nigh.

Praise to the Father, through all ages be;
Praise to the consubstantial sovereign Son,
And Holy Ghost, one glorious Trinity;
To whom all majesty and might belong;
So sing we now, and such be our eternal song.
Amen.

4:6 Offer up the sacrifice of justice, and trust in the Lord: * many say, Who sheweth us good things?
4:7 The light of thy countenance, O Lord, is signed upon us: * thou hast given gladness in my heart.
4:8 By the fruit of their corn, their wine, and oil, * they are multiplied.

5:10 For there is no truth in their mouth: * their heart is vain.
5:11 Their throat is an open sepulchre: they dealt deceitfully with their tongues: * judge them, O God.

From the Sermons of St. Augustine, Bishop of Hippo.
16th on the Saints
The solemn Feast of today received from our forefathers the name of that of St Peter's Chair at Antioch, because there is a tradition that it was on this day that Peter, first of the Apostles, was enthroned in a Bishop's Chair. Rightly, therefore, do the Churches observe the first day of that Chair, the right to which the Apostle received for the salvation of the Churches from the Lord of the Churches Himself, with the words: Thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build My Church.
℣. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.
℟. Thanks be to God.

℟. Thou art the Shepherd of the sheep, and the Prince of the Apostles, and unto thee hath God given all the kingdoms of the world.
* Therefore unto thee hath He given the keys of the kingdom of heaven.
℣. Whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven; and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.
℟. Therefore unto thee hath He given the keys of the kingdom of heaven.
℣. Jube, domne, benedícere.
Benedictio. Christus perpétuæ det nobis gáudia vitæ. Amen.

Petrum ítaque fundaméntum Ecclésiæ Dóminus nominávit: et ídeo digne fundaméntum hoc Ecclésia colit, supra quod ecclesiástici ædifícii altitúdo consúrgit. Unde conveniénter psalmus, qui lectus est, dicit: Exáltent eum in ecclésia plebis, et in cáthedra seniórum laudent eum. Benedíctus Deus, qui beatum Petrum Apóstolum in Ecclésia exaltári præcépit: quia dignum est ut fundaméntum hoc in Ecclésia honorétur, per quod ad cælum conscénditur.
℣. Tu autem, Dómine, miserére nobis.
℟. Deo grátias.

℟. Ego pro te rogávi, Petre, ut non defíciat fides tua:

℣. Caro et sanguis non revelávit tibi, sed Pater meus, qui est in cælis.
℟. Et tu aliquándo convérsus confírma fratres tuos.

Benediction. May Christ to all His people give, for ever in His sight to live. Amen.

Reading 5
It was the Lord Himself Who called Peter the foundation of the Church, and therefore it is right that the Church should reverence this foundation whereon her mighty structure riseth. Justly is it written in the Psalm which we have just heard: Let them exalt him in the congregation of the people, and praise him in the assembly of the elders. Blessed be God, Who hath commanded that the Blessed Apostle Peter should be exalted in the congregation! Worthy to be honoured by the Church is that foundation from which her goodly towers rise, pointing to heaven!
℣. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.
℟. Thanks be to God.

℟. Peter, I have prayed for thee, that thy faith fail not
* And when thou art converted, strengthen thy brethren.
℣. Flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but My Father Which is in heaven.
℟. And when thou art converted, strengthen thy brethren.
℣. Jube, domne, benedícere.

Quod natális ergo Cáthedræ hódie cólitur, sacerdotále honorátur offícium. Sibi hoc Ecclésiæ ínvicem præstant, quia tanto necésse plus habet Ecclésia dignitatis, quanto sacerdotále offícium plus honóris. Cum solemnitátem hanc Ecclésiis mérito religiósa observátio introdúxerit, miror, cur apud quosdam infidéles hódie tam perniciósus error incréverit, ut super túmulos defunctórum cibos et vina conférant, quasi egréssæ de corpóribus ánimæ carnáles cibos requírant.
℣. Tu autem, Dómine, miserére nobis.
℟. Deo grátias.

℟. Petre, amas me? Tu scis, Dómine, quia amo te.

In the honour which is this day paid to the inauguration of the first Bishop's throne, an honour is paid to the office of all Bishops. The Churches testify one to another, that, the greater the Church's dignity, the greater the reverence due to her priests. While I confess how rightly godly custom hath exalted this Feast in the estimation of all the Churches, the more do I wonder at the growth of that unhealthy error which at this day causeth some unbelievers to lay food and wine upon the graves of the dead, as if souls once rid of the body had any longer any need of bodily refreshment.
℣. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.
℟. Thanks be to God.

℟. Peter, lovest thou Me? Lord, Thou knowest that I love thee.
* Feed My sheep.
℣. Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou Me more than these? Lord, Thou knowest that I love thee.
℟. Feed My sheep.
℣. Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, * and to the Holy Ghost.
℟. Feed My sheep.

Apóstolos Dóminus, quid de se hómines opinéntur, intérrogat: et tamdiu sermo respondéntium commúnis est, quámdiu humánæ intellegéntiæ ambigúitas explicátur. At ubi quid hábeat sensus discipulórum exígitur, primus est in Dómini confessióne, qui primus est in apostólica dignitáte. Qui cum dixísset: Tu es Christus Fílius Dei vivi: respóndit ei Jesus: Beátus es Simon Bar-Jona, quia caro et sanguis non revelávit tibi, sed Pater meus, qui in cælis est. Id est, Ideo beátus es, quia Pater meus te dócuit: nec terréna opínio te feféllit, sed inspirátio cæléstis instrúxit: et non caro et sanguis, sed ille me tibi, cujus sum unigénitus Fílius, indicávit.

At that time, Jesus came into the coasts of Caesarea Philippi, and He asked His disciples, saying: Who do men say that I, the Son of Man, am? And so on.

Homily by Pope St. Leo the Great.
3rd on the Anniversary of his own election
The Lord asked His disciples Who men said that He was, and their answers were human as long as they were the answers of human reason, unilluminated by Divine light. At last, when the glimmerings of earthly conjecture were spoken, he whose Apostleship is the first in dignity, was the first to confess his Lord. And Simon Peter answered and said: Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God. And Jesus answered and said unto him: Blessed art thou, Simon Bar-Jona, for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but My Father Which is in heaven. That is to say, For this cause art thou blessed, because My Father Himself hath taught thee; the opinions of men have not beguiled thee, the voices of angels have not taught thee, not flesh and blood, but He, Whose Only begotten Son I am, hath revealed Me unto thee.
℣. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.
℟. Thanks be to God.

℟. Jesus asked His disciples, saying: Who do men say that I, the Son of Man, am? Peter answered, and said: Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God.
* And I say unto thee, that thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build My Church.
℣. Blessed art thou, Simon Bar-Jona, for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but My Father Which is in heaven.
℟. And I say unto thee, that thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build My Church.
℣. Jube, domne, benedícere.
Benedictio. Cujus festum cólimus, ipse intercédat pro nobis ad Dóminum. Amen.

Et ego, inquit, dico tibi: hoc est, sicut Pater meus tibi manifestávit divinitátem meam, ita et ego tibi notam fácio excelléntiam tuam, quia tu es Petrus: id est, cum ego sim inviolábilis petra, ego lapis anguláris, qui fácio útraque unum, ego fundaméntum præter quod nemo potest áliud pónere: tamen tu quoque petra es, quia mea virtúte solidáris, ut quæ mihi potestáte sunt própria, sint tibi mecum participatióne commúnia. Et super hanc petram ædificábo Ecclésiam meam, et portæ ínferi non prævalébunt advérsus eam. Super hanc, ínquit, fortitúdinem ætérnum éxstruam templum: et Ecclésiæ meæ cælo inserénda sublímitas, in hujus fídei firmitáte consúrget.
℣. Tu autem, Dómine, miserére nobis.
℟. Deo grátias.

℟. Elégit te Dóminus sacerdótem sibi, ad sacrificándum ei
* Hóstiam laudis.
℣. Immola Deo sacrifícium laudis, et redde Altíssimo vota tua.
℟. Hóstiam laudis.
℣. Glória Patri, et Fílio, * et Spirítui Sancto.
℟. Hóstiam laudis.
℣. Grant, Lord, a blessing.
Benediction. He whose feast-day we are keeping, be our Advocate with God. Amen.

Reading 8
Thus saith the Lord unto Simon Peter: And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter. That is to say, Even as My Father hath revealed unto thee concerning Me that I am God, even so now will I also reveal unto thee that thou art Peter; I am the sure Rock of defence, the Corner Stone, Who make both one, (Eph. ii. 20, 15,) I am the Foundation, beside Which other can no man lay, 1 Cor. iii. 11, and thou also art a rock, in My Strength made hard, and those things whereof I by right am Lord, into thy hand do I give them, that thou mayst bear rule over them, for Me, and with Me. And upon this rock I will build My Church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. Upon this strength of thine, whereof I am the Strength, I will build My eternal temple, and upon the truth of thy confession of Me I will make to rise My glorious Church whose spires shall pierce to heaven.
℣. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.
℟. Thanks be to God.

℟. The Lord hath chosen thee for a priest unto Himself, to offer up unto Him
* The sacrifice of praise.
℣. Offer unto God thanksgiving, and pay thy vows unto the Most High.
℟. The sacrifice of praise.
℣. Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, * and to the Holy Ghost.
℟. The sacrifice of praise.
℣. Jube, domne, benedícere.
Benedictio. Ad societátem cívium supernórum perdúcat nos Rex Angelórum. Amen.

Hanc confessiónem portæ ínferi non tenébunt, mortis víncula non ligábunt: vox enim ista vox vitæ est. Et sicut confessóres suos in cæléstia próvehit, ita negatóres ad inférna demérgit. Propter quod dicit beatíssimo Petro: Tibi dabo claves regni cælórum: Et quæcúmque ligáveris super terram, erunt ligáta et in cælis: et quæcúmque sólveris super terram, erunt solúta et in cælis. Transívit quidem étiam in álios Apóstolos vis potestátis istíus, et ad omnes Ecclésiæ príncipes decréti hujus constitútio commeávit: sed non frustra uni commendátur, quod ómnibus intimátur. Petro enim ídeo hoc singuláriter créditur, quia cunctis Ecclésiæ rectóribus Petri forma præpónitur. Manet ergo Petri privilégium, ubicúmque ex ipsíus fertur æquitáte judícium. Nec nímia est vel sevéritas vel remíssio, ubi nihil erit ligátum, nihil solútum, nisi quod beátus Petrus aut sólverit, aut ligáverit.
℣. Tu autem, Dómine, miserére nobis.
℟. Deo grátias.

Tu Patris * sempitérnus es Fílius.
Fit reverentia Tu, ad liberándum susceptúrus hóminem: * non horruísti Vírginis úterum.

Sequens versus dicitur flexis genibus
Te ergo quǽsumus, tuis fámulis súbveni, * quos pretióso sánguine redemísti.
Ætérna fac cum Sanctis tuis * in glória numerári.
Salvum fac pópulum tuum, Dómine, * et bénedic hereditáti tuæ.
Et rege eos, * et extólle illos usque in ætérnum.
Per síngulos dies * benedícimus te.
Fit reverentia, secundum consuetudinem Et laudámus nomen tuum in sǽculum, * et in sǽculum sǽculi.

Fiat misericórdia tua, Dómine, super nos, * quemádmodum sperávimus in te.
In te, Dómine, sperávi: * non confúndar in ætérnum.
℣. Grant, Lord, a blessing.
Benediction. May He that is the Angels' King to that high realm His people bring. Amen.

Reading 9
Against this confession the gates of hell shall never prevail, neither shall the bonds of death take hold upon it. Thus saith He That is faithful and true. And as this confession hath power to lift up to heaven them that make it, so is it able to thrust down to hell them that gainsay it. Wherefore it is said unto the most blessed Peter: And I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth, shall be bound in heaven; and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth, shall be loosed in heaven. This power passed indeed to the other Apostles also; this the Lord's will had effect in them; but it is not in vain that it is written that that was given to one which passed from him to all. To Peter alone were the keys given, and Peter is set as the pattern for all them that bear rule in the Church to follow. There remaineth therefore the right of Peter, wheresoever his judgment decreeth justice. Neither is there anything too hard, or too lax, where there is nothing bound and nothing loosed, save when Peter bindeth or looseth.
℣. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.
℟. Thanks be to God.

Te Deum

bow head Holy, Holy, Holy * Lord God of Sabaoth;

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 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.
Reliqua omittuntur, nisi Laudes separandæ sint.
