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;

Hymn {from the Common or Feast}
O Christ, thy guilty people spare!
Lo, kneeling at thy gracious throne,
thy Virgin-Mother pours her prayer,
Imploring pardon for her own.
Ye angels, happy evermore!
Who in your circles nine ascend,
As ye have guarded us before,
So still from harm our steps defend.
Ye prophets and Apostles high!
Behold our penitential tears;
And plead for us when death is nigh,
our all-searching judge appears.
Ye martyrs all! a purple band,
And confessors, a white-robed train;
Oh, call us to our native land,
From this our exile, back again.
And ye, O choirs of virgins chaste!
Receive us to your seats on high;
With hermits whom the desert waste
Sent up of old into the sky.
To God the Father glory be,
And to his sole-begotten Son;
And glory, Holy Ghost, to thee,
While everlasting ages run.
Amen.

3 Hæc dicit Dóminus Deus: Væ prophétis insipiéntibus, qui sequúntur spíritum suum, et nihil vident!
4 Quasi vulpes in desértis prophétæ tui, Israël, erant.

Lesson from the book of Ezekiel
Ezek 13:1-6
1 And the word of the Lord came to me, saying:
2 Son of man, prophesy thou against the prophets of Israel that prophesy: and thou shalt say to them that prophesy out of their own heart: Hear ye the word of the Lord:
3 Thus saith the Lord God: Woe to the foolish prophets that follow their own spirit, and see nothing.
4 Thy prophets, O Israel, were like foxes in the deserts.
5 You have not gone up to face the enemy, nor have you set up a wall for the house of Israel, to stand in battle in the day of the Lord.
6 They see vain things, and they foretell lies, saying: The Lord saith: whereas the Lord hath not sent them: and they have persisted to confirm what they have said.
℣. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.
℟. Thanks be to God.
℟. I saw the Lord sitting upon a throne, high and lifted up, and the whole earth was full of His glory;
* And His train filled the temple.

9 Et erit manus mea super prophétas, qui vident vana et divínant mendácium: in consílio pópuli mei non erunt, et in scriptúra domus Israël non scribéntur, nec in terram Israël ingrediéntur, et sciétis quia ego Dóminus Deus.

Ezek 13:7-10
7 Have you not seen a vain vision and spoken a lying divination: and you say: The Lord saith: whereas I have not spoken.
8 Therefore thus saith the Lord God: Because you have spoken vain things, and have seen lies: therefore behold I come against you, saith the Lord God.
9 And my hand shall be upon the prophets that see vain things, and that divine lies: they shall not be in the council of my people, nor shall they be written in the writing of the house of Israel, neither shall they enter into the land of Israel, and you shall know that I am the Lord God.
10 Because they have deceived my people, saying: Peace, and there is no peace: and the people built up a wall, and they daubed it with dirt without straw.

11 Say to them that daub without tempering, that it shall fall: for there shall be an overflowing shower, and I will cause great hailstones to fall violently from above, and a stormy wind to throw it down.
12 Behold, when the wall is fallen: shall it not be said to you: Where is the daubing wherewith you have daubed it?
13 Therefore thus saith the Lord God: Lo, I will cause a stormy wind to break forth in my indignation, and there shall be an overflowing shower in my anger: and great hailstones in my wrath to consume.

Ex libro sancti Cypriáni Epíscopi et Martyris de mortalitáte
In fine.
Considerandum est, fratres dilectissimi, et identidem cogitandum, renuntiasse nos mundo, et tamquam hospites et peregrinos hic interim degere. Amplectamur diem, qui assignat singulos domicilio suo, qui nos istinc ereptos, et laqueis sæcularibus exsolutos, paradiso restituit, et regno cælesti. Quis non peregre constitutus properaret in patriam regredi? Quis non ad suos navigare festinans, ventum prosperum cupidius optaret, ut velociter caros liceret amplecti?
℣. Tu autem, Dómine, miserére nobis.
℟. Deo grátias.

From the Book upon Death, written by the holy Martyr Cyprian, Bishop (of Carthage.)
At end
Dearly beloved brethren, we should keep well in our mind and thoughts that we are living here meanwhile as strangers and pilgrims. Let us hail that day which will see us each at home in one of the many mansions, which will see us delivered hence, and disentangled from the nets and snares of things temporal, and put us back into the Garden of Eden, and into the kingdom of heaven. Is there any in a far country but is quick to make his way to his Fatherland? Was ever any in haste to make his voyage homeward, but longed for a fair wind, that he might the sooner embrace his loved ones?
℣. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.
℟. Thanks be to God.
℟. The Fore-runner of the Lord cometh, to whom He Himself bare witness, saying:
* Among them that are born of women there hath not risen a greater than John the Baptist.
℣. A Prophet? Yea, and much more than a Prophet. This is he of whom the Saviour saith:
℟. Among them that are born of women there hath not risen a greater than John the Baptist.

Patriam nostram paradisum computamus, parentes Patriarchas habere jam cæpimus: quid non properamus et currimus, ut patriam nostram videre, ut parentes salutare possimus? Magnus illic nos carorum numerus exspectat, parentum, fratrum, filiorum frequens nos et copiosa turba desiderat, jam de sua immortalitate secura, et adhuc de nostra salute sollicita. Ad horum conspectum et complexum venire, quanta et illis et nobis in commune lætitia est! Qualis illic cælestium regnorum voluptas sine timore moriendi, et cum æternitate vivendi! Quam summa et perpetua felicitas!
℣. Tu autem, Dómine, miserére nobis.

Reading 5
We reckon Paradise to be our home; already we begin to have the Patriarchs for our kinsmen. Why should we not make haste and run, to see our home, and to greet our kinsfolk? There are a great many of those we love waiting for us there father, and mother, and brothers, and children, there in great company they await us, they who are sure now never to die any more, but not yet sure of us. O, when we come to see them and to embrace them, what gladness will it be both for us and for them! O, what will be the brightness of life in that heavenly kingdom where there is no more fear of death, but the certainty of living everlastingly! O, what consummated, O, what enduring happiness?
℣. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.
℟. Thanks be to God.
℟. These are they who while yet they lived in the flesh, planted the Church in their own blood;
* They drank of the Lord's cup, and became the friends of God.
℣. Their sound is gone out through all the earth, and their words to the ends of the world.

Remunerati misericordes, qui alimentis et largitionibus pauperum justitiæ opera fecerunt, qui Dominica præcepta servantes ad cælestes thesauros terrena patrimonia transtulerunt.

There is the glorious company of the Apostles, there is the jubilant fellowship of the Prophets, there is the countless army of Martyrs crowned for victory in strife and in suffering. There triumph the virgins who by noble self-control have tamed the desires of the flesh and of the body. There are repaid with mercy the merciful, who by feeding and gifting the needy, have wrought righteousness, have kept the commandments of the Lord, and have exchanged heritages upon earth for treasures in heaven. Thitherward, dearly beloved brethren, let us eagerly run, with such as these soon to be, unto Christ soon to come, let us be fain.
℣. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.
℟. Thanks be to God.
℟. O ye My Saints, who, being in the flesh, didst have striving

Léctio sancti Evangélii secúndum Matthǽum
Matt 5:1-12
In illo témpore: Videns Jesus turbas, ascendit in montem, et cum sedisset, accesserunt ad eum discipuli ejus. Et réliqua.
De Homilia sancti Augustíni Epíscopi
Liber 1 de Sermone Domini in monte, cap. 5
Beati eritis, inquit, cum vobis maledicent, et persequentur vos, et dicent omne malum adversum vos mentientes, propter me: gaudete et exsultate, quoniam merces vestra multa est in cælis. Animadvertat quisquis delicias hujus sæculi, et facultates rerum temporalium quærit in nomine christiano, intrinsecus esse beatitudinem nostram, sicut de anima ecclesiastica ore prophetico dicitur: Omnis gloria ejus filiæ regis ab intus. Nam extrinsecus maledicta, et persecutiones, et detractiones promittuntur de quibus tamen magna merces est in cælis, quæ sentitur in corde patientium, eorum qui jam possunt dicere: Gloriamur in tribulationibus: scientes quod tribulatio patientiam operatur, patientia autem probationem, probatio vero spem, spes autem non confundit: quia caritas Dei diffúsa est in cordibus nostris per Spiritum sanctum, qui datus est nobis.
℣. Tu autem, Dómine, miserére nobis.
℟. Deo grátias.
℟. Sint lumbi vestri præcíncti, et lucérnæ ardéntes in mánibus vestris:
* Et vos símiles homínibus exspectántibus dóminum suum, quando revertátur a núptiis.
℣. Vigiláte ergo, quia nescítis qua hora Dóminus vester ventúrus sit.
℟. Et vos símiles homínibus exspectántibus dóminum suum, quando revertátur a núptiis.

From the Holy Gospel according to Matthew
Matt 5:1-12
At that time Jesus seeing the multitudes, he went up into a mountain, and when he was set down, his disciples came unto him. And so on.
Homily by St. Augustine, Bishop of Hippo.
Bk. i. on the Lord's Sermon.
Blessed are ye, saith the Lord, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for My sake. Rejoice, and be exceeding glad for great is your reward in heaven. If any be seeking under the name of a Christian the pleasures of this world and the possession of temporal goods, let him bethink him that our blessedness is inward, even as the mouth of the Prophet saith concerning the soul of the Church The King's daughter is all glorious within. Ps. xliv. 15. Without, she is reviled, and persecution and evil report are her promised portion. And yet for these very things, great is her reward in heaven, as indeed is felt in the hearts of the sufferers, at least of such as are able already to say But we glory in tribulations also; knowing that tribulation worketh patience; and patience, experience; and experience, hope; and hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost, Which is given unto us. Rom. v. 3-5.
℣. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.
℟. Thanks be to God.
℟. Let your loins be girded about, and your lights burning;
* And ye yourselves like unto men that wait for their lord, when he will return from the wedding.
℣. Watch therefore, for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come.
℟. And ye yourselves like unto men that wait for their lord, when he will return from the wedding.

℣. Jube, domne, benedícere.
Benedictio. Quorum festum cólimus, ipsi intercédant pro nobis ad Dóminum. Amen.

Non enim ista perpeti fructuosum est, sed ista pro Christi nomine non solum æquo animo, sed étiam cum exsultatione tolerare. Nam multi hæretici nomine christiano animas decipientes, multa talia patiuntur: sed ideo excluduntur ab ista mercede, quia non dictum est tantum: Beati qui persecutionem patiuntur, sed additum est: Propter justitiam. Ubi autem sana fides non est, non potest esse justitia: quia justus ex fide vivit. Neque schismatici aliquid sibi ex ista mercede promittant: quia similiter, ubi caritas non est, non potest esse justitia. Dilectio enim proximi malum non operatur: quam si haberent, non dilaniarent corpus Christi, quod est Ecclesia.
℣. Tu autem, Dómine, miserére nobis.
℟. Deo grátias.
℟. Média nocte clamor factus est:
* Ecce sponsus venit, exíte óbviam ei.
℣. Prudéntes vírgines, aptáte vestras lámpades.
℟. Ecce sponsus venit, exíte óbviam ei.

To suffer such things is not in itself fruitful; what is fruitful, is to bear them for Christ's Name's sake not calmly only but gladly. There are a great many heretics who mislead souls under the name of Christians, and they suffer such things plentifully, but they are cut out from the reward, for it is not said only Blessed are they which are persecuted, but Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness' sake. Where there is not sound faith there cannot be righteousness, for the just shall live by faith. Heb. x. 38. Neither let schismatics promise themselves any of that reward, for as righteousness cannot exist where there is no faith, so neither can it exist where there is no love. And schismatics have no love, for love worketh no ill to his neighbour, (Rom. xiii. 10,) and if they had it, they would not tear the Body of Christ, which is the Church.
℣. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.
℟. Thanks be to God.
℟. At midnight there was a cry made:
* Behold, the Bridegroom cometh, go ye out to meet him.

Commemoratio martyrum
Severus, Severianus, Carpophorus et Victorinus fratres, in persecutione Diocletiani deorum cultum libere detestantes, plumbatis cæsi, in verberibus vitam pro Christi nomine profuderunt. Quorum corpora canibus objecta, cum ab illis intacta diu fuíssent, sublata a Christianis, via Lavicana, tertio ab Urbe lapide, in arenaria sepeliuntur prope sepulchrum sanctorum Mártyrum Claudii, Nicostrati, Symphoriani, Castorii et Simplicii, qui eodem imperatore passi erant: quod, cum essent summi sculptores, nullo modo adduci potuerant ut idolorum statuas facerent; et ad Solis simulacrum ducti, ut illud venerarentur, numquam commissuros se dixerunt, ut adorarent opera manuum hominum. Quamobrem in carcerem conjecti, cum ibi multos dies in eodem proposito perstitissent, primum scorpionibus cæsi, deínde vivi plumbeis loculis inclusi in flumen dejiciuntur. Exstat in Urbe ecclesia sub nomine sanctorum Quatuor Coronatorum, quorum diu ignota nomina, divinitus postea patefacta sunt: ubi non solum illorum quatuor, sed étiam horum quinque Mártyrum corpora honorifice sepulta sunt, et eorum festivitas sexto Idus Novembris celebratur.
℣. Tu autem, Dómine, miserére nobis.
℟. Deo grátias.

Commemoration of the Martyrs
In the persecution under Diocletian four brothers named Severus, Severian, Carpophorus, and Victorinus, boldly refused to worship the gods, and were lashed with whips loaded with lead until they gave up their lives for Christ's Name's sake under the strokes. Their bodies were thrown out to be eaten by the dogs, but as they remained untouched after a long while, the Christians took them away, and buried them in a sand-pit upon the Lavican Way at the third milestone from the City, hard by the grave of the holy martyrs Claudius, Nicostratus, Symphorian, Castorius, and Simplicius, who had suffered under the same Emperor, because being excellent sculptors they could nowise be brought to make figures of idols, and when they were brought to the image of the Sun to do reverence to it, they had said they would never worship the works of men's hands. For this reason they were thrown into prison, and when after many days they were still found of the same mind, they were first lashed with scourges armed with hooks, and then soldered up alive in leaden coffins and thrown into the river. There is in the City of Rome a Church called that of the Four Holy Crowned. Their actual names were long unknown, but afterwards made manifest by God. In this Church are honorably buried the bodies of these four, and also those of the other five; and a Festival is held in their honor upon the 8th day of November.
℣. 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.
