Hymn {from the Common or Feast}
Th' eternal gifts of Christ the King,
The Apostles' glory, let us sing;
And all with hearts of gladness raise
Due hymns of thankful love and praise.
For they the Church's princes are,
Triumphant leaders in the war,
The heavenly King's own warrior band,
True lights to lighten every land.
Theirs was the steadfast faith of saints,
The hope that never yields nor faints,
The love of Christ in perfect glow,
That lay the prince of this world low.
In them the Father's glory shone,
In them the Spirit's will was done,
The Son himself exults in them;
Joy fills the new Jerusalem.
Praise to the Father, with the Son,
And Holy Spirit, Three in One;
As ever was in ages past,
And so shall be while ages last.
Amen.

Acts 3:11-16
11 And as he held Peter and John, all the people ran to them to the porch which is called Solomon's, greatly wondering.
12 But Peter seeing, made answer to the people: Ye men of Israel, why wonder you at this? or why look you upon us, as if by our strength or power we had made this man to walk?
13 The God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, the God of our fathers, hath glorified his Son Jesus, whom you indeed delivered up and denied before the face of Pilate, when he judged he should be released.
14 But you denied the Holy One and the Just, and desired a murderer to be granted unto you.
15 But the author of life you killed, whom God hath raised from the dead, of which we are witnesses.
16 And in the faith of his name, this man, whom you have seen and known, hath his name strengthened; and the faith which is by him, hath given this perfect soundness in the sight of you all.
℣. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.
℟. Thanks be to God.
℟. Thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build My Church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.
* And I will give unto thee 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.
℟. And I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven.
℣. Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, * and to the Holy Ghost.

Verúmtamen hodiérna festívitas, præter illam reveréntiam quam toto terrárum orbe proméruit, speciáli et própria nostræ Urbis exsultatióne veneránda est; ut, ubi præcipuórum Apostolórum glorificátus est éxitus, ibi in die martýrii eórum sit lætítiæ principátus.

From the Sermons of Pope St. Leo the Great
First for the Birthday of the Holy Apostles Peter and Paul
Dearly beloved brethren, in the joy of all the holy Feast-days the whole world is partaker. There is but one love of God, and whatsoever is solemnly called to memory, if it hath been done for the salvation of all, must needs be worth the honour of a joyful memorial at the hands of all. Nevertheless, this feast which we are keeping today, besides that world-wide worship which it doth of right get throughout all the earth, doth deserve from this city of ours an outburst of gladness altogether special and our own. In this place it was that the two chiefest of the Apostles did so right gloriously finish their race. And upon this day whereon they lifted up that their last testimony, let it be in this place that the memory thereof receiveth the chiefest of jubilant celebrations. O Rome, these twain are the men who brought the light of the Gospel of Christ to shine upon thee! These are they by whom thou, from being the teacher of lies, wast turned into a learner of the truth.
℣. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.
℟. Thanks be to God.
℟. Lord, if it be Thou, bid me come unto thee on the water;
* And Jesus stretched forth His Hand, and caught him, and said unto him: O thou of little faith, wherefore didst thou doubt?
℣. But when he saw the wind boisterous, he was afraid and, beginning to sink, he cried, saying: Lord, save me!
℟. And Jesus stretched forth His Hand, and caught him, and said unto him: O thou of little faith, wherefore didst thou doubt?

Isti sunt patres tui veríque pastóres, qui te regnis cæléstibus inseréndam multo mélius multóque felícius condidérunt, quam illi quorum stúdio prima mœ́nium tuórum fundaménta locáta sunt; ex quibus is qui tibi nomen dedit, fratérna te cæde fœdávit. Isti sunt, qui te ad hanc glóriam provexérunt, ut gens sancta, pópulus eléctus, cívitas sacerdotális et régia, per sacram beáti Petri Sedem caput orbis effécta, látius præsidéres religióne divína quam dominatióne terréna. Quamvis enim, multis aucta victóriis, ius impérii tui terra maríque protúleris; minus tamen est quod tibi béllicus labor súbdidit, quam quod pax christiána subiécit.

These twain be thy fathers, these be in good sooth thy shepherds, these twain be they who laid for thee, as touching the kingdom of heaven, better and happier foundations, than did they that first planned thine earthly ramparts, wherefrom he that gave thee thy name took occasion to pollute thee with a brother's blood. These are they who have set on thine head this thy glorious crown, that thou art become an holy nation, a chosen people, a city both Priestly and Kingly, whom the Sacred Throne of blessed Peter hath exalted till thou art become the Lady of the world, unto whom the world-wide love for God hath conceded a broader lordship than is the possession of any mere earthly empire. Thou wast once waxen great by victories, until thy power was spread haughtily over land and sea, but thy power was narrower then which the toils of war had won for thee, than that thou now hast which hath been laid at thy feet by the peace of Christ.
℣. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.
℟. Thanks be to God.
℟. Arise, O Peter! Cast thy garment about thee, gird thee with strength for the saving of the nations.
* The chains are fallen off from thine hands.

Disposítio namque divínitus óperi máxime congruébat, ut multa regna uno confœderaréntur império, et cito pérvios habéret pópulos prædicátio generális, quos uníus tenéret régimen civitátis. Hæc autem cívitas ignórans suæ provectiónis auctórem, cum pene ómnibus dominarétur géntibus, ómnium géntium serviébat erróribus; et magnam sibi videbátur assumpsísse religiónem, quia nullam respúerat falsitátem.

Reading 6
It well suited for the doing of the work which God had decreed that the multitude of kingdoms should be bound together under one rule, and that so the universal preaching of the Gospel should find easier entry into all peoples, since all were governed by the empire of one city. But this city, knowing not Him, Who had been pleased to make her great, used her lordship over almost all nations to make herself the minister of all their falsehoods and seemed to herself exceeding godly because there was no false god whom she rejected. But the tighter that Satan had bound her, the more wondrous was the work of Christ in setting her free.
℣. 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.

Léctio sancti Evangélii secúndum Matthǽum
Matt 16:13-19
In illo témpore: Venit Iesus in partes Cæsaréæ Philíppi, et interrogábat discípulos suos, dicens: Quem dicunt hómines esse Fílium hóminis? Et réliqua.
Homilía sancti Hierónymi Presbýteri
Lib. 3 Comment. in Matth. cap. 16
Pulchre intérrogat: Quem dicunt hómines esse Fílium hóminis? quia qui de fílio hóminis loquúntur, hómines sunt; qui vero divinitátem eius intéllegunt, non hómines, sed dii appellántur. At illi dixérunt: Alii Ioánnem Baptístam, álii autem Elíam. Miror quosdam intérpretes causas errórum inquírere singulórum, et disputatiónem longíssimam téxere, quare Dóminum nostrum Iesum Christum álii Ioánnem putáverint, álii Elíam, álii Ieremíam aut unum ex prophétis; cum sic potúerint erráre in Elía et Ieremía, quo modo Heródes errávit in Ioánne, dicens: Quem ego decollávi Ioánnem, ipse surréxit a mórtuis, et virtútes operántur in eo.
℣. Tu autem, Dómine, miserére nobis.
℟. Deo grátias.
℟. Ego pro te rogávi, Petre, ut non defíciat fides tua:
* Et tu aliquándo convérsus confírma fratres tuos.
℣. Caro et sanguis non revelávit tibi, sed Pater meus, qui est in cælis.
℟. Et tu aliquándo convérsus confírma fratres tuos.

From the Holy Gospel according to Matthew
Matt 16:13-19
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 St. Jerome, Priest at Bethlehem.
Bk. iii Comment. on Matth. xvi
Who do men say that I, the Son of man, am? This question is well put, for they who speak of Him as the Son of man are men, while they that know of Him that He is God are called not men but gods. And they said: Some say that Thou art John the Baptist, some, Elias. I marvel that some commentators have thought it worth their while to search into the origin of each of these blunders, and to engage in a discussion of weary length as to why some thought that our Lord Jesus Christ was John the Baptist, some, Elias and others, Jeremias, or one of the Prophets. Their blunders concerning Elias and Jeremias were but of a piece with Herod's concerning John the Baptist It is John, whom I beheaded he is risen from the dead and therefore mighty works do show forth themselves in him. Mark vi. 16, 14.
℣. 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.

℣. Iube, Dómine, benedícere.
Benedictio. Quorum festum cólimus, ipsi intercédant pro nobis ad Dóminum. Amen.
Lectio 8
Vos autem quem me esse dícitis? Prudens lector, atténde quod, ex consequéntibus textúque sermónis, Apóstoli nequáquam hómines, sed dii appellántur. Cum enim dixísset: Quem dicunt hómines esse Fílium hóminis? subiécit: Vos autem quem me esse dícitis? Illis, quia hómines sunt, humána opinántibus, vos qui estis dii, quem me esse existimátis? Petrus ex persóna ómnium Apostolórum profitétur: Tu es Christus Fílius Dei vivi. Deum vivum appéllat, ad distinctiónem eórum deórum, qui putántur dii, sed mórtui sunt.
℣. Tu autem, Dómine, miserére nobis.
℟. Deo grátias.
℟. Quem dicunt hómines esse Filium hóminis? dixit Iesus discípulis suis. Respóndens Petrus dixit: Tu es Christus Fílius Dei vivi.
* Et ego dico tibi, quia tu es Petrus, et super hanc petram ædificábo Ecclésiam meam.
℣. Beátus es, Simon Bar-Iona, quia caro et sanguis non revelávit tibi, sed Pater meus qui est in cælis.
℟. Et ego dico tibi, quia tu es Petrus, et super hanc petram ædificábo Ecclésiam meam.
℣. Glória Patri, et Fílio, * et Spirítui Sancto.
℟. Et ego dico tibi, quia tu es Petrus, et super hanc petram ædificábo Ecclésiam meam.

Reading 8
But who say ye that I am? Mark, discreet reader, from the context, that a distinction is here drawn between the Apostles and mere men. The Apostles are called gods. Who, asketh the Lord, do men say that I am, but, on the other hand, who say ye that I am? They, being but men, deal in human speculations, but ye that are gods, who be ye persuaded that I am. And then Peter, as the representative of all the Apostles, uttered the testimony: Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God. He calleth God living, to mark the difference between Him and all other that be called gods, and who are indeed dead.
℣. 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.
℣. Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, * and to the Holy Ghost.
℟. And I say unto thee, that thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build My Church.

Respóndens autem Iesus, dixit ei: Beátus es, Simon Bar-Iona. Testimónio de se Apóstoli reddit vicem. Petrus díxerat: Tu es Christus Fílius Dei vivi; mercédem recépit vera conféssio: Beátus es, Simon Bar-Iona. Quare? Quia non revelávit tibi caro et sanguis, sed revelávit Pater. Quod caro et sanguis reveláre non pótuit, Spíritus Sancti grátia revelátum est. Ergo ex confessióne sortítur vocábulum, quod revelatiónem ex Spíritu Sancto hábeat, cuius et fílius appellándus sit. Síquidem Bar-Iona in nostra lingua sonat Fílius colúmbæ.
℣. Tu autem, Dómine, miserére nobis.
℟. Deo grátias.

And Jesus answered and said unto him: Blessed art thou, Simon Bar-Jona. The Apostle having testified of the Lord, the Lord in turn testifieth of the Apostle. Peter had said: Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God, and he received, in return for that his testimony to the truth, the words: Blessed art thou, Simon Bar-Jona. Why, blessed? For flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but My Father. What flesh and blood could not reveal, the grace of the Holy Ghost had revealed. Meet for him therefore, because of his confession, is his name, as the name of one who hath revelation from the Holy Ghost, and therefore is called His son. Bar-Jona is, being interpreted, The-son-of-the-Dove.
℣. 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.
