Lesson from the book of Wisdom
Wis. 5:1-5
The just shall stand with great assurance before their oppressors who set at nought their labors. Seeing this, these shall be shaken with dreadful fear, and amazed at the suddenness of the unlooked-for salvation. They shall say among themselves, rueful and groaning through anguish of spirit: These are they whom once we held as a laughingstock and as a type for mockery, fools that we were! Their life we deemed madness, and their death dishonored. See how they are accounted among the sons of God; how their lot is with the Saints!
Léctio libri Sapiéntiæ
Sap 5:1-5
Stabunt justi in magna constántia advérsus eos, qui se angustiavérunt et qui abstulérunt labóres eórum. Vidéntes turbabúntur timore horríbili, et mirabúntur in subitatióne insperátæ salútis, dicéntes intra se, pœniténtiam agéntes, et præ angústia spíritus geméntes: Hi sunt, quos habúimus aliquándo in derísum et in similitúdinem impropérii. Nos insensáti vitam illórum æstimabámus insániam, et finem illórum sine honóre: ecce, quómodo computáti sunt inter fílios Dei, et inter Sanctos sors illórum est.
Alleluia, alleluia.
℣. This is the true brotherhood, which overcame the wickedness of the world; it followed Christ, attaining the noble kingdom of heaven. Alleluia.
℣. The white-robed army of Martyrs praises You, O Lord. Alleluia.
Allelúja, allelúja.
℣. Hæc est vera fratérnitas, quæ vicit mundi crímina: Christum secúta est, ínclita tenens regna cœléstia. Allelúja.
℣. Te Mártyrum candidátus laudat exércitus, Dómine. Allelúja.
Continuation ☩ of the Holy Gospel according to John
John 4:46-53
At that time, there was a certain royal official whose son was lying sick at Capharnaum. When he heard that Jesus had come from Judea into Galilee, he went to Him and besought Him to come down and heal his son, for he was at the point of death. Jesus therefore said to him, Unless you see signs and wonders, you do not believe. The royal official said to Him, Sir, come down before my child dies. Jesus said to him, Go your way, your son lives. The man believed the word that Jesus spoke to him, and departed. But even as he was now going down, his servants met him and brought word saying that his son lived. He asked of them therefore the hour in which he had got better. And they told him, Yesterday, at the seventh hour, the fever left him. The father knew then that it was at that very hour in which Jesus had said to him, Your son lives. And he himself believed, and his whole household.
Sequéntia ☩ sancti Evangélii secúndum Joánnem
Joannes 4:46-53
In illo témpore: Erat quidam régulus, cujus fílius infirmabátur Caphárnaum. Hic cum audísset, quia Jesus adveníret a Judǽa in Galilǽam, ábiit ad eum, et rogábat eum, ut descénderet et sanáret fílium ejus: incipiébat enim mori. Dixit ergo Jesus ad eum: Nisi signa et prodígia vidéritis, non créditis. Dicit ad eum régulus: Dómine, descénde, priúsquam moriátur fílius meus. Dicit ei Jesus: Vade, fílius tuus vivit. Crédidit homo sermóni, quem dixit ei Jesus, et ibat. Jam autem eo descendénte, servi occurrérunt ei et nuntiavérunt, dicéntes, quia fílius ejus víveret. Interrogábat ergo horam ab eis, in qua mélius habúerit. Et dixérunt ei: Quia heri hora séptima relíquit eum febris. Cognóvit ergo pater, quia illa hora erat, in qua dixit ei Jesus: Fílius tuus vivit: et crédidit ipse et domus ejus tota.
Ps 88:6
The heavens shall confess thy wonders, O Lord: and thy truth in the church of the saints, alleluia, alleluia.
Ps 88:6
Confitebúntur cœli mirabília tua, Dómine: et veritátem tuam in ecclésia sanctórum, allelúja, allelúja.
May the witnessing to the faith made by Your holy Martyrs, Nereus, Achilleus, Domitilla and Pancras, be pleasing to You, O Lord, both to commend our offerings to You and to assure us of Your everlasting mercy.
Through our Lord…
Sanctórum Martyrum tuórum, quǽsumus. Dómine, Nérei, Achíllei, Domitíllæ atque Pancrátii sit tibi grata conféssio: quæ et múnera nostra comméndet, et tuam nobis indulgéntiam semper implóret.

Easter
It is truly meet and just, right and for our salvation, at all times to praise Thee, O Lord, but more gloriously especially in this season (sed tempore Passionis)
on this night (sed octava Paschæ)
on this day when Christ our Pasch was sacrificed. For He is the Lamb Who hath taken away the sins of the world: Who by dying hath destroyed our death: and by rising again hath restored us to life. And therefore with Angels and Archangels, with Thrones and Dominations, and with all the hosts of the heavenly army, we sing the hymn of Thy glory, evermore saying:
Paschalis
Vere dignum et justum est, æquum et salutáre: Te quidem, Dómine, omni témpore, sed in hoc potíssimum (sed tempore Passionis)
hac potíssimum nocte (sed octava Paschæ)
hac potíssimum die gloriósius prædicáre, cum Pascha nostrum immolátus est Christus. Ipse enim verus est Agnus, qui ábstulit peccáta mundi. Qui mortem nostram moriéndo destrúxit et vitam resurgéndo reparávit. Et ídeo cum Angelis et Archángelis, cum Thronis et Dominatiónibus cumque omni milítia cœléstis exércitus hymnum glóriæ tuæ cánimus, sine fine dicéntes:
Ps 32:1
Gaudéte, justi, in Dómino, allelúja: rectos decet collaudátio, allelúja.
Ps 32:1
Gaudéte, justi, in Dómino, allelúja: rectos decet collaudátio, allelúja.
O Lord, we beseech You, that the holy sacrament we have received may, by the pleadings of Your blessed Martyrs, Nereus, Achilleus, Domitilla and Pancras, grant us always more of Your forgiveness.
Through our Lord…
Quǽsumus, Dómine: ut beatórum Mártyrum tuórum Nérei, Achíllei, Domitíllæ atque Pancrátii deprecatiónibus, sacraménta sancta, quæ súmpsimus, ad tuæ nobis profíciant placatiónis augméntum.
Per Dominum…
