Start
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.
℣. O Lord, +︎ open thou my lips.
℟. And my mouth shall declare thy praise.
℣. O God, ✠ come to my assistance;

Ant. The Lord, the King of Martyrs, * O come, let us worship.
Come let us praise the Lord with joy: let us joyfully sing to God our saviour. Let us come before his presence with thanksgiving; and make a joyful noise to him with psalms.
Ant. The Lord, the King of Martyrs, * O come, let us worship.
For the Lord is a great God, and a great King above all gods. For the Lord will not cast off his people: for in his hand are all the ends of the earth, and the heights of the mountains are his.
Ant. O come, let us worship.
For the sea is his, and he made it: and his hands formed the dry land. (genuflect) Come let us adore and fall down: and weep before the Lord that made us: For he is the Lord our God: and we are the people of his pasture and the sheep of his hand.
Ant. The Lord, the King of Martyrs, * O come, let us worship.
Today if you shall hear his voice, harden not your hearts: As in the provocation, according to the day of temptation in the wilderness: where your fathers tempted me, they proved me, and saw my works.

Forty years long was I offended with that generation, and I said: These always err in heart. And these men have not known my ways: so I swore in my wrath that they shall not enter into my rest.

Hymnus {ex Commune aut Festo}
Christo profúsum sánguinem,
Et Mártyrum victórias,
Dignámque cælo láuream
Lætis sequámur vócibus.
Terróre victo sǽculi,
Pœnísque spretis córporis,
Mortis sacræ compéndio
Vitam beátam póssident.
Tradúntur igni Mártyres,
Et bestiárum déntibus;
Armáta sævit úngulis
Tortóris insáni manus.
Nudáta pendent víscera,
Sanguis sacrátus fúnditur;
Sed pérmanent immóbiles,
Vitæ perénnis grátia.
Te nunc, Redémptor, quǽsumus,
Ut mártyrum consórtio
Jungas precántes sérvulos
In sempitérna sǽcula.

Hymn {from the Common or Feast}
The martyrs' triumphs let us sing,
Their blood poured forth for Christ the King,
And while due hymns of praise we pay,
Our thankful hearts cast grief away.
The world its terrors urged in vain;
They recked not of the body's pain;
One step, and holy death made sure
The life that ever shall endure.
To flames the martyr saints are hailed;
By teeth of savage beasts assailed;
Against them, armed with ruthless brand
And hooks of steel, their torturers stand.
The mangled frame is tortured sore,
The holy life-drops freshly pour;
They stand unmoved amidst the strife,
By grace of everlasting life.
Redeemer, hear us of thy love,
That, with the martyr host above,
Hereafter, of thine endless grace,
thy servants also may have place.
Amen.

2:8 Ask of me, and I will give thee the Gentiles for thy inheritance, * and the utmost parts of the earth for thy possession.
2:9 Thou shalt rule them with a rod of iron, * and shalt break them in pieces like a potter’s vessel.

60 And Joseph and Azarias were put to flight, and were pursued unto the borders of Judea: and there fell, on that day, of the people of Israel about two thousand men, and there was a great overthrow of the people:

Dionysius Atheniensis, unus ex Areopagitis judicibus, vir fuit omni doctrinæ genere instinctus. Qui cum adhuc in Gentilitatis errore versaretur, eo die quo Christus Dominus cruci affixus est, solem præter naturam defecisse animadvertens, exclamasse traditur: Aut Deus naturæ patitur, aut mundi machina dissolvetur. Sed cum Paulus Apostolus veniens Athenas, et in Areopagum ductus, rationem reddidisset ejus doctrinæ quam prædicabat, affirmans Christum Dominum resurrexisse, et mortuos omnes in vitam redituros esse: cum alii multi, tum ipse Dionysius in Christum credidit.
℣. Tu autem, Dómine, miserére nobis.
℟. Deo grátias.
℟. Sancti tui, Dómine, mirábile consecúti sunt iter, serviéntes præcéptis tuis, ut inveniréntur illǽsi in aquis válidis:

Denys was an Athenian, one of the Judges of the Court of the Areopagus, and a man of varied and deep learning. There is a story concerning him that on the day when the Lord Christ was nailed to the Cross, and when he saw the unnatural eclipse of the sun, Denys said Either the God of nature is suffering, or the frame-work of the world is breaking up. When the Apostle Paul came to Athens, and was taken and brought unto the Areopagus, and gave an account of the faith which he preached, affirming that Christ had risen from the dead, and that all the dead likewise are to live again, some mocked, and others said We will hear thee again of this matter. So Paul departed from among them. Howbeit, certain men clave unto him, and believed among the which was Dionysius the Areopagite. Acts xvii. 3234
℣. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.
℟. Thanks be to God.
℟. thy Saints, O Lord, have passed a wonderful way, serving thy commandments, that they might be found without hurt in the midst of the mighty waters.

Denys was baptized by the Apostle, and set over the Church of the Athenians. He came afterwards to Rome, and was sent by Pope Clement into Gaul, to preach the Gospel. There followed him to Paris one Rusticus a Priest, and Eleutherius a Deacon. He turned many to Christ, and was therefore hided with rods by command of Fescennius the Praefect, and, forasmuch as he still went on bravely preaching Christ, he was tortured with fire upon a grating, and put to diverse other torments, and his comrades likewise.
℣. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.

They bore their torments bravely and cheerfully, and then Denys, being over an hundred years of age, and his two comrades with him, suffered by the axe upon the 9th day of October. This is that Denys concerning whom the old story is told that after his head was cut off he took it in his hands and walked two thousand paces, carrying it all the while. He was the author of some marvellous books, clear proofs of a mind fixed in heaven, upon The Names of God, upon The Orders in Heaven and in the Church, upon The Mystic Theology, and diverse others.

Dóminus ac Redémptor noster peritúri mundi præcurréntia mala denúntiat, ut eo minus pertúrbent veniéntia, quo fúerint præscíta. Minus enim jácula fériunt, quæ prævidéntur: et nos tolerabílius mundi mala suscípimus, si contra hæc per præsciéntiae clípeum munímur. Ecce enim dicit: Cum audiéritis prǽlia et seditiónes, nolíte terréri: opórtet enim primum hæc fíeri, sed nondum statim finis. Pensánda sunt verba Redemptóris nostri, per quæ nos áliud intérius, áliud extérius passúros esse denúntiat; bella quippe ad hostes pértinent, seditiónes ad cives. Ut ergo nos índicet intérius exteriúsque turbári, áliud nos fatétur ab hóstibus, áliud a frátribus pérpeti.
℣. Tu autem, Dómine, miserére nobis.
℟. Deo grátias.
℟. Propter testaméntum Dómini, et leges patérnas, Sancti Dei perstitérunt in amóre fraternitátis:
* Quia unus fuit semper spíritus in eis, et una fides.
℣. Ecce quam bonum et quam jucúndum habitáre fratres in unum.
℟. Quia unus fuit semper spíritus in eis, et una fides.

℣. Grant, Lord, a blessing.
Benediction. May the Gospel's holy lection be our safety and protection. Amen.

From the Holy Gospel according to Luke
Luke 21:9-19
At that time, Jesus said unto His disciples: When ye shall hear of wars and commotions, be not terrified for these things must first come to pass; but the end is not by and by. And so on.
Homily by Pope St Gregory the Great.
35th on the Gospels.
Our Lord and Redeemer willeth us to know what shall be the signs that the end of the world is at hand, to the end that ye may be the less terrified, when that cometh whereof ye have already had warning. Darts strike less which are seen coming: and the plagues of the earth will be to us more bearable, if we are harnessed against them with the shield of foreknowledge. Behold, how He saith When ye shall hear of wars and commotions be not terrified for these things must first come to pass; but the end is not by and by. It behoveth us to ponder these words of our Redeemer, wherein He warneth us of suffering, from without, and from within. Wars are the work of a foreign enemy, commotions of the citizens. Therefore, that He may let us know that we shall be troubled from within and from without, He showeth that our wrestling shall be in part against strangers, and in part against our brethren.
℣. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.
℟. Thanks be to God.
℟. Because of the covenant of the Lord, and the laws of their fathers, the Saints of God abode in brotherly love,
* For one spirit and one faith was ever in them.
℣. Behold how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity.
℟. For one spirit and one faith was ever in them.

℣. Jube, domne, benedícere.
Benedictio. Cujus festum cólimus, ipse intercédat pro nobis ad Dóminum. Amen.

Sed his malis præveniéntibus, quia non statim finis sequátur, adjúngit: Surget gens contra gentem, et regnum advérsus regnum: et terræmótus magni erunt per loca, et pestiléntiæ, et fames, terrorésque de cælo: et signa magna erunt. Última tribulátio multis tribulatiónibus prævenítur: et per crebra mala, quæ prævéniunt, indicántur mala perpétua, quæ subsequéntur. Et ídeo post bella et seditiónes non statim finis: quia multa debent mala præcúrrere, ut malum váleant sine fine nuntiáre.
℣. Tu autem, Dómine, miserére nobis.
℟. Deo grátias.
℟. Sancti mei, qui in carne pósiti, certámen habuístis:
* Mercédem labóris ego reddam vobis.
℣. Veníte benedícti Patris mei, percípite regnum.
℟. Mercédem labóris ego reddam vobis.
℣. Glória Patri, et Fílio, * et Spirítui Sancto.
℟. Mercédem labóris ego reddam vobis.

When these woes come, the end is not by and by. And He saith further Nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom; and great earthquakes shall be in diverse places, and pestilences, and famines, and fearful sights and great signs shall there be from heaven. Before the last tribulation cometh, shall come many other tribulations: and, by the many woes which shall come first, shall be foreshadowed the everlasting woe which shall come in the end. And therefore, after wars and commotions, the end is not yet by and by many woes must come first, to give warning of the woe that hath no end.
℣. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.
℟. Thanks be to God.
℟. O ye My Saints, who, being in the flesh, didst have striving
* I will render unto you a reward of your labours.
℣. Come, ye blessed of My Father, inherit the kingdom
℟. I will render unto you a reward of your labours.
℣. Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, * and to the Holy Ghost.
℟. I will render unto you a reward of your labours.

℣. Jube, domne, benedícere.
Benedictio. Ad societátem cívium supernórum perdúcat nos Rex Angelórum. Amen.

Sed cum tot signa perturbatiónis dicta sint, opórtet, ut eórum consideratiónem bréviter per síngula perstringámus: quia necésse est, ut ália e cælo, ália e terra, ália ab eleméntis, ália ab homínibus patiámur. Ait enim: Surget gens contra gentem, ecce perturbátio hóminum: erunt terræmótus magni per loca, ecce respéctus iræ désuper: erunt pestiléntiæ ecce inæquálitas córporum: erit fames, ecce sterílitas terræ: terrorésque de cælo et tempestátes, ecce inæquálitas áëris. Quia ergo ómnia consummánda sunt, ante consummatiónem ómnia perturbántur: et qui in cunctis delíquimus, in cunctis ferímur: ut impleátur quod dícitur, Et pugnábit pro eo orbis terrárum contra insensátos.
℣. Tu autem, Dómine, miserére nobis.
℟. Deo grátias.

Reading 9
But, forasmuch as the signs and troubles whereof the Lord speaketh are so manifold, we must needs shortly consider each for, of necessity, we must suffer some things from heaven, some from the earth, some from the powers of nature, and some from men. For where He saith Nation shall rise against nation He speaketh concerning the troubling of men where great earthquakes shall be in diverse places concerning wrath from above: where: and pestilences concerning the frailty of the body where and famines concerning the barrenness of the earth: where fearful signs from heaven, and tempests concerning commotions of the air. As, then, all things shall have an end, so, before the end, shall all things be troubled and we who have sinned and come short in all things, shall in all things be afflicted, that it may be fulfilled that is written: and the world shall fight with Him against the unwise. Wisd v. 21.
℣. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.
℟. Thanks be to God.
