FOURTEENTH SUNDAY AFTER PENTECOST - MASS PROPERS


              St. Rose of Lima, Virgin

St. Rose, the first canonized saint of the New World, was born at Lima in 1586. She received the name of Isabella in Baptism, but one day her mother saw a beautiful rose drooping over the baby’s cradle and ever afterwards called her Rose. She was an obedient child; her mortifications were most severe. She prayed worked, and wept for the conversion of sinners; she excelled in her love for holy purity. She lived a life of simplicity and prayer in a small hut in a corner of her father’s garden; the birds would visit her and sing with her the praises of God. The Savior frequently appeared to her. Her devotion to the Passion of Our Lord was remarkable as were her own sufferings. Her bed was strewn with glass shards, with nails and thorns; she wore chafing hair-cloth; her head was crowned with painful thorns skillfully concealed by roses. She died August 26, 1617


Sts. Felix and Saint Adauctus, Martyrs

The holy martyrs Saint Felix and Saint Adauctus. St. Felix suffered martyrdom in the year 303, and was joined by Adauctus, who shared his martyr crown.

Missa ‘Protector noster'

Introit - Psalm 83:10-11
Protector noster, áspice, Deus, et réspice in fáciem Christi tui: quia mélior est dies una in átriis tuis super mílla. Ps. 83. 2-3. Quam dilécta tabernácula tua, Dómine virtútum! concupíscit et déficit ánima mea in átria Dómine. V. Gloria Patri.



Behold, O God, our protector, and look on the face of Thy Christ for better is one day in Thy courts above thousands. ( Psalm 83:2 ) How lovely are Thy tabernacles, O Lord of hosts! my soul longeth and fainteth for the courts of the Lord. v. 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.
Behold, O God, our protector…

Collect for the Fourteenth Sunday After Pentecost
Keep, we beseech Thee, O Lord, Thy Church with Thy perpetual mercy: and because, without Thee the frailty of man is wont to fall, save it ever by Thine aid from all things hurtful, and lead it to all things profitable to salvation. Through our Lord Jesus Christ.


Second Collect for St. Rose of Lima
Almighty God, the giver of all good gifts, who, by the outpouring of the heavenly dew of thy grace, didst enable thy blessed Saint Rose to shew forth among the peoples of the Indies the glory of chastity and suffering: grant to us thy servants, that running after her in the savour of her sweetness, we may be made a sweet savour unto Christ our Lord.  Who liveth and reigneth with thee, in the unity of the Holy Ghost, ever one God, world without end. R.  Amen.

Third Collect Collect for Ss. Felix and Adauctus, Martyrs
O Lord, we humbly beseech thy majesty: that, like as thou dost ever gladden us with the remembrance of thy Saints; so thou wouldest evermore defend us with their supplications.  Through Jesus Christ, thy Son our Lord, who liveth and reigneth with thee, in the unity of the Holy Ghost, ever one God, world without end.


Epistle - Galatians 5:16-24
Lesson from the Epistle of Blessed Apostle Saint Paul to the Galatians
Brethren, Walk in the spirit, and you shall not fulfill the lusts of the flesh: for the flesh lusteth against the spirit, and the spirit against the flesh for these are contrary one to another: so that you do not the things that you would. But if you are led by the spirit, you are not under the law. Now the works of the flesh are manifest which are fornication, uncleanness, immodesty, luxury, idolatry, witchcrafts, enmities, contentions, emulations, wraths, quarrels, dissensions, sects, envies, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like of which I foretell you, as I have foretold to you, that they who do such things, shall not obtain the kingdom of God. But the fruit of the spirit is charity, joy, peace, patience, benignity, goodness, longanimity, mildness, faith, modesty, continency, chastity. Against such there is no law. And they that are Christ's, have crucified their flesh with the vices and concupiscences.

Gradual - Psalm 117: 8-9
It is good to confide in the Lord, rather than to have confidence in man. v. It is good to trust in the Lord, rather than to trust in princes.

Alleluia
Alleluia, alleluia.  Psalm 4:91 Come, let us praise the Lord with joy; let us joyfully sing to God our Savior. Alleluia.


Gospel – St. Matthew 6:24-33
The Continuation of the Holy Gospel according to Saint Matthew
At that time, Jesus said to His disciples: "No man can serve two masters for he will hate the one and love the other, or he will sustain the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon. Therefore I say to you, be not solicitous for your life, what you shall eat, nor for your body, what you shall put on. Is not the life more than the meat, and the body more than the raiment? Behold the birds of the air for they neither sow nor do they reap, nor gather into barns, and your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are you not of much more value than they? And which of you, by taking thought, can add to his stature one cubit? And for raiment, why are you solicitous? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they labor not, neither do they spin but I say to you, that not even Solomon in all his glory was arrayed as one of these. Now if God so clothe the grass of the field, which is today, and tomorrow is cast in the oven, how much more you, O ye of little faith! Be not solicitous therefore saying: What shall we eat, or what shall we drink, or wherewith shall we be clothed? for after all these things do the heathen seek. For your Father knoweth that you have need of all these things. Seek ye therefore first the kingdom of God, and His justice and all these things shall be added unto you."


Offertory – Psalm: 33:8-9
The Angel of the Lord shall encamp round about them that fear Him, and shall deliver them: O taste and see that the Lord is sweet!

Secret for the Fourteenth Sunday after Pentecost
Look graciously, O Lord, upon Thy people: graciously look upon our gifts, that, being appeased by this offering, Thou mayest both grant us pardon, and give us what we ask. Through our Lord Jesus Christ.

Second Secret Prayer for St. Rose of Lima
May the Sacrifice of thy holy people be acceptable unto thee, O Lord, for the honour of thy Saints:  through whose merits they know that they have received help in tribulation.  Through Jesus Christ, thy Son our Lord, who liveth and reigneth with thee, in the unity of the same Holy Ghost, ever one God, world without end.

Third Secret Prayer for Ss. Felix and Adauctus
We beseech thee, O Lord, to look down in mercy on the offerings of thy people:  that, as we do devoutly offer this our service to the honour of thy Saints, so we may be profited thereby to the salvation of our souls.  Through Jesus Christ, thy Son our Lord, who liveth and reigneth with thee, in the unity of the same Holy Ghost, ever one God…

Preface of the Most Holy Trinity
It is truly meet and just, right and for our salvation, that we should at all times and in all places, give thanks unto Thee, O holy Lord, Father Almighty, Ever-Lasting God: Who, together with Thine only-begotten Son, and the Holy Ghost, are one God, one Lord: not in the oneness of a single Person, but in the Trinity of one substance. For what we believe by Thy revelation of Thy glory, the same do we believe of Thy Son, the same of the Holy Ghost, without difference or separation. So that in confessing the true and everlasting Godhead, distinction in persons, unity in essence, and equality in majesty may be adored. Which the Angels and Archangels, the Cherubim also and Seraphim do praise: who cease not daily to cry out with one voice saying:



Communion - Wisdom: 16:20
Seek ye first the kingdom of God: and all things shall be added unto you, saith the Lord.

Postcommunion For The Fourteenth Sunday After Pentecost
Filled with Thy sacred gift, we humbly beseech Thee, O Lord, that what we celebrate with our homage duly given by the intercession of Thy blessed martyr Lawrence, we may also know as an increase of Thy saving grace within us. Through the same Lord Jesus Christ.

Second Postcommunion for St. Rose of Lima
Thou hast filled Thy household, O Lord, with sacred gifts; ever comfort us, we beseech Thee, through her intercession whose festival we celebrate. Through our Lord Jesus Christ, Thy Son, Who liveth and reigneth with Thee in the unity of the Holy Ghost, God…

Third Postcommunion for Ss. Felix and Adauctus

Filled with Thy sacred gifts, O Lord, we beseech Thee that, by the intercession of Thy saints, we may pass our lives in giving thanks to Thee. Through our Lord Jesus Christ, Thy Son, Who liveth and reigneth with Thee in the unity of the Holy Ghost, God…
