- 0:21In the name of the father and of the son and of the holy ghost. Amen.
- 0:29The introit,
- 0:31I will rejoice in Jerusalem and exalt in my people.
- 0:37No longer shall the sound of weeping be heard there or the sound of crying. My elect shall not toil in vain nor beget children for sudden destruction. For a race blessed by the Lord are they and their offspring. O God, the tale has come to our ears. Have not our fathers told it?
- 1:07Of the great things thou didst in their time. Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost, as it was in the beginning, is now, and will be, through all ages of ages. Amen. I will rejoice in Jerusalem and exalt in my people. No longer shall the sound of weeping be heard there, or the sound of crying.
- 1:38My elect shall not toil in vain, nor beget children for sudden destruction. For a race blessed by the Lord are they and their offspring. The Collect, let us pray. O God, who, through the zeal of blessed Boniface, your martyr and bishop, graciously called a multitude of people to the knowledge of your name. Mercifully grant that we who keep his feast may also enjoy his patronage through our Lord Jesus Christ, thy Son, who liveth and reigneth with thee in the unity of the Holy Ghost, God, through all ages of ages.
- 2:33Amen. A lesson from the book of Ecclesiasticus. Let us now call the role of famous men that were our fathers long ago. What high achievements the Lord has made known in them ever since time began. Here were men that had power and bore rule.
- 3:01Men that excelled in strength or in the wisdom that dowered them. Prophets that worthily upheld the name of prophecy, issuing to the people the commands their times needed, uttering through their foresight a sacred charge to the nations. Here were men that had skill to devise melodies, to make songs and set them down in writing. Here were men rich in ability, noble of aim, that dwelt peacefully in their homes. These were the glories of their race, the ornament of their times, and the sons they begot have left a memory that adds to the recital of their praise.
- 3:54Not like those others who are forgotten in death as if they had never been. Nameless, they and their children as if they had never lived. No. These were men of tender conscience. Their deeds of charity will never be forgotten.
- 4:18Blessings abide with their posterity. Their descendants are a race set apart for God. The pledged heirs of his promises. For their sakes, this line of theirs will endure for all time. Their stock, their name will never be allowed to die out.
- 4:47Their bodies lie in peace. Their name lasts on age after age. Their wisdom is yet a legend among the people. Wherever faithful men assemble, their story is told. The gradual, rejoice in so far as you are partakers of the sufferings of Christ that you may also rejoice with exaltation in the revelation of his glory.
- 5:24If you are upbraided for the name of Christ, blessed will you be because the honor, the glory, and the power of God and spirit rest upon you. Alleluia. Alleluia. I will spread prosperity over him like a river and glory like an overflowing torrent. Alleluia.
- 5:55A continuation of the holy gospel according to Matthew. At that time, Jesus, seeing the multitudes, went up into a mountain. And when he was set down, his disciples came unto him. And opening his mouth, he taught them saying, blessed are the poor in spirit for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are the meek, for they shall possess the land.
- 6:34Blessed are they that mourn, for they shall be comforted. Blessed are they that hunger and thirst after justice, for they shall have their fill. Blessed are the merciful for they shall obtain mercy. Blessed are the clean of heart for they shall see God. Blessed are the peacemakers for they shall be called the children of God.
- 7:10Blessed are they that suffer persecution for justice sake for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are ye when they shall revile you and persecute you and speak all that is evil against you untruly for my sake. Be glad and rejoice for your reward is very great in heaven. The offertory. I bless the Lord who counsels me.
- 7:49I set God ever before me. With him at my right hand, shall not be disturbed. The secret. May a bountiful blessing, O Lord, descend upon these offerings and through your mercy, may it help to make us holy and to be joyful on the feast of blessed Boniface, your martyr and bishop, through our Lord Jesus Christ, thy son, who liveth and reigneth with thee in the unity of the Holy Ghost, God, through all ages of ages. Amen.
- 8:36The common preface. Just it is indeed and fitting, right and for our salvation, that we should at all times and in all places give thanks unto thee, O Holy Lord, father almighty, everlasting God, through whom the angels praise thy majesty. The dominions worship it. The power stand in awe. The heavens and the hosts of heaven together with the blessed Seraphim joyfully do magnify.
- 9:11We entreat thee that thou command it be permitted us to join with them in confessing thee while we say with lowly praise. Holy, holy, holy, Lord God of hosts, the heavens and the earth are full of thy glory. Hosanna in the highest. Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord. Hosanna in the highest.
- 9:46The communion. He who overcomes, I will permit him to sit with me upon my throne as I also have overcome and have sat with my father on his throne. The post communion. Let us pray. Made holy by the sacrament of salvation, we beseech you, O Lord, that the prayers of blessed Boniface, your martyr and bishop, under whose patronal care you have granted us to be ruled, may name only in Jesus, name of We God, through all ages of ages.
- 10:39Amen. In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. Amen. Saint Boniface, pray for us.
