O God, Who through blessed Alphonsus Mary, Your Confessor and Bishop, fired with love for souls, enriched Your Church with a new family; we beseech You that, taught by his saving counsels and strengthened by his example, we may be enabled happily to come to You.

Lesson from the second letter of St. Paul the Apostle to Timothy
2 Tim. 2:1-7
Dearly beloved: Be strengthened in the grace which is in Christ Jesus; and the things that you have heard from me through many witnesses, commend to trustworthy men who shall be competent in turn to teach others. Conduct yourself in work as a good soldier of Christ Jesus. No one serving as God's soldier entangles himself in worldly affairs, that he may please him whose approval he has secured. And again, one who enters a contest is not crowned unless he has competed according to the rules. The farmer who toils must be the first to partake of the fruits. Take in what I tell you, for the Lord will give you understanding in all things.
Léctio Epístolæ beáti Pauli Apóstoli ad Timótheum
2 Tim 2:1-7
Caríssime: Confortáre in grátia, quæ est in Christo Jesu: et quæ audísti a me per multos testes, hæc comménda fidélibus homínibus, qui idónei erunt et alios docére. Labóra sicut bonus miles Christi Jesu. Nemo mílitans Deo ímplicat se negótiis sǽculáribus: ut ei pláceat, cui se probávit. Nam et qui certat in agóne, non coronátur, nisi legítime certáverit. Laborántem agrícolam opórtet primum de frúctibus percípere. Intéllege quæ dico: dabit enim tibi Dóminus in ómnibus intelléctum.
Ps 118:52-53
I remember your ordinances of old, O Lord, and I am comforted. Indignation seizes me because of the wicked who forsake Your law.
Ps 39:11
℣. Your justice I kept not hid within my heart; Your faithfulness and Your salvation I have spoken of. Alleluia, alleluia.
Ecclus. 49:3-4
He was directed by God to the repentance of the nation, and he took away the abominations of wickedness. He turned to God with his whole heart, and though times were evil, he practiced virtue.
Ps 118:52-53
Memor fui judiciórum tuórum a sǽculo, Dómine, et consolátus sum: deféctio ténuit me pro peccatóribus derelinquéntibus legem tuam.
Ps 39:11
Justítiam tuam non abscóndi in corde meo: veritátem tuam et salutáre tuum dixi. Allelúja, allelúja.
Eccles. 49:3-4
Ipse est diréctus divínitus in pæniténtiam gentis, et tulit abominatiónes impietátis: et gubernávit ad Dóminum cor ipsíus: et in diébus peccatórum corroborávit pietátem. Allelúja.
Continuation ☩ of the Holy Gospel according to Luke
Luke 10:1-9
At that time, the Lord appointed seventy-two others, and sent them forth two by two before Him into every town and place where He Himself was about to come. And He said to them, The harvest indeed is great, but the laborers are few. Pray therefore the Lord of the harvest to send forth laborers into His harvest. Go. Behold, I send you forth as lambs in the midst of wolves. Carry neither purse, nor wallet, nor sandals, and greet no one on the way. Whatever house you enter, first say, ‘Peace to this house!’ And if a son of peace be there, your peace will rest upon him; but if not, it will return to you. And remain in the same house, eating and drinking what they have; for the laborer deserves his wages. Do not go from house to house. And whatever town you enter, and they receive you, eat what is set before you, and cure the sick who are there, and say to them, ‘The kingdom of God is at hand for you.’
Sequéntia ☩ sancti Evangélii secúndum Lucam
Luc 10:1-9
In illo témpore: Designávit Dóminus et álios septuagínta duos: et misit illos binos ante fáciem suam in omnem civitátem et locum, quo erat ipse ventúrus. Et dicebat illis: Messis quidem multa, operárii autem pauci. Rogáte ergo Dóminum messis, ut mittat operários in messem suam. Ite: ecce, ego mitto vos sicut agnos inter lupos. Nolíte portáre sácculum neque peram neque calceaménta; et néminem per viam salutavéritis. In quamcúmque domum intravéritis, primum dícite: Pax huic dómui: et si ibi fúerit fílius pacis, requiéscet super illum pax vestra: sin autem, ad vos revertátur. In eádem autem domo manéte, edéntes et bibéntes quæ apud illos sunt: dignus est enim operárius mercéde sua. Nolíte transíre de domo in domum. Et in quamcúmque civitátem intravéritis, et suscéperint vos, manducáte quæ apponúntur vobis: et curáte infírmos, qui in illa sunt, et dícite illis: Appropinquávit in vos regnum Dei.
Pr 3:9, 27
Honor the Lord with your wealth, and give Him the first fruits of all your produce. Do not withhold him from doing good who is able; if you are able, do good yourself also.
Prov 3:9; 3:27
Hónora Dóminum de tua substántia, et de primítiis ómnium frugum tuárum da ei. Noli prohibére benefácere eum, qui potest: si vales, et ipse bénefac.
O Lord, Jesus Christ, Who granted to St. Aphonsus Mary to celebrate this rite and thereby offer himself as a holy victim to You, consume our hearts by the heavenly fire of this sacrifice so that it may ascend as a sweet fragrance unto You.
Who livest…
Cœlésti, Dómine Jesu Christe, sacrifícii igne corda nostra in odórem suavitátis exúre: qui beáto Alfónso Maríæ tribuísti et hæc mystéria celebráre, et per éadem hóstiam tibi sanctam seípsum exhibére:
Qui vivis…
Commemoration St. Stephen I, Pope and Martyr
By the offered gifts we beseech thee, O Lord, that thou kindly enlighten thy Church, so that thy flock may everywhere progress and prosper, and thy shepherds, under thy guidance may be pleasing to thy name.
Through our Lord…
Commemoratio S. Stephani Papæ et Martyris
Oblátis munéribus, quǽsumus, Dómine, Ecclésiam tuam benígnus illúmina: ut, et gregis tui profíciat ubíque succéssus, et grati fiant nómini tuo, te gubernánte, pastóres.

Common
It is truly meet and just, and profitable unto salvation, that we should at all times, and in all places, give thanks to Thee, O Holy Lord, Father Almighty, eternal God, through Christ, our Lord. Through whom the Angels praise Thy Majesty, the Dominions adore it, the Powers are in awe. Which the heavens and the hosts of heaven together with the blessed Seraphim joyfully do magnify. And do Thou command that it be permitted us to join with them in confessing Thee, while we say with lowly praise:
Communis
Vere dignum et justum est, æquum et salutáre, nos tibi semper et ubíque grátias ágere: Dómine sancte, Pater omnípotens, ætérne Deus: per Christum, Dóminum nostrum. Per quem majestátem tuam laudant Angeli, adórant Dominatiónes, tremunt Potestátes. Cæli cælorúmque Virtútes ac beáta Séraphim sócia exsultatióne concélebrant. Cum quibus et nostras voces ut admítti jubeas, deprecámur, súpplici confessione dicéntes:
Ecclus 50:1, 9
A great priest, who in his time renovated the house, and in his days reinforced the temple, as a bright fire, and frankincense burning in the fire.
Eccli 50:1; 50:9
Sacérdos magnus, qui in vita sua suffúlsit domum, et in diébus suis corroborávit templum, quasi ignis effúlgens et thus ardens in igne.
O God, Who made St. Alphonsus Mary, Your Confessor and Bishop, a faithful dispenser of this divine sacrament, grant by his merits and prayers, that Your faithful may frequently receive it, and, receiving it, praise it forever.
Through our Lord…
Deus, qui beátum Alfónsum Maríam Confessórem tuum atque Pontíficem fidelem divíni mystérii dispensatórem et præcónem effecísti: ejus méritis precibúsque concéde; ut fidéles tui et frequénter percípiant, et percipiéndo sine fine colláudent.

Commemoration St. Stephen I, Pope and Martyr
Being appeased, O Lord, guide thy Church, which has been nourished by holy refreshment, that under thy direction and powerful rule it may receive increase of liberty and may continue in religious integrity.
Through our Lord…
Commemoratio S. Stephani Papæ et Martyris
Refectióne sancta enutrítam gubérna, quǽsumus, Dómine, tuam placátus Ecclésiam: ut, poténti moderatióne dirécta, et increménta libertátis accípiat et in religiónis integritáte persístat.
Per Dominum…
