Transcript
- 0:00Vox Liturgica: The propers of the day according to the Roman Missal before 1955. The feast of Saint Pius the tenth, September 3 in the year of our Lord 2026. Of today's feast, father Sylvester Jurgica writes, Joseph Sarto was born at Riza in Venetia on 06/02/1835. He was successively curate, parish priest, Bishop of Mantua, Patriarch of Venice. He was elected Pope on August fourth nineteen o three.
- 0:49As chief pastor of the church he realized to the full the value of the liturgy as the prayer of the church and spared no effort to propagate the practice of frequent and daily communion. In his encyclical Passindi Dominici Grecci's he exposed and condemned the modernist heresy with force and clarity. He died on August 20 in the year of our Lord 1914 and was canonized on 05/29/1954. Because otherwise today would be a farrier in the pre 1955 calendar, I have included Saint Pius the tenth in this series. Today, both the pre 1955 and 1962 episodes are the same, with Pius the tenth's feast having a rank of double in the pre fifty five and third class in the 1962.
- 2:01In the name of the father, and of the son, and of the holy ghost. Amen. The introit. I have chosen one among you, a man of my people. With my holy oil have I anointed him.
- 2:21My hand shall help him, and my arm shall strengthen him. I will put the Lord's mercies on record forever. And these words of mine shall proclaim thy faithfulness. 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.
- 2:50I have chosen one among you, a man of my people. With my holy oil have I anointed him. My hand shall help him, and my arm shall strengthen him. The Collect, let us pray. O God, who to safeguard the Catholic faith and to restore all things in Christ did fill the supreme pontiff Saint Pius with heavenly wisdom and apostolic fortitude.
- 3:27Grant in thy mercy that by striving to fulfill his ordinances and to follow his example we may reap eternal rewards through the same Jesus Christ, thy Son, Lord, who liveth and reigneth with thee in the unity of the Holy Ghost, God through all ages of ages. Amen. A lesson from the first letter of Saint Paul the Apostle to the Thessalonians. Brethren, our God gave us courage to preach the divine gospel to you with great earnestness. Our appeal to you was not based on any false or degraded notions, was not backed by cajolery.
- 4:22We have passed God's scrutiny and he has seen fit to entrust us with the work of preaching. When we speak, it is with this in view. We would earn God's good opinion, not man's, since it is God who scrutinizes our hearts. We never used the language of flattery. You will bear us out in that.
- 4:54Nor was it God knows an excuse for enriching ourselves. We have never asked for human praise, yours or another's, although as apostles of Christ, we might have made heavy demands on you. No. You found us innocent as babes in your company. No nursing mother ever cherished her children more.
- 5:25In our great longing for you, we desired nothing better than to offer you our own lives as well as God's gospel. So greatly we had learned to love you. The gradual. I told the story of thy just dealings before a great throng. Be witness, Lord, that I did not seal my lips.
- 5:57Thy just dealings were no secret hidden away in my heart. I proclaimed thy faithful protection. Alleluia. Alleluia. Thou dost spread a banquet for me.
- 6:15Richly thou dost anoint my head with oil. My cup is well filled. Alleluia. A continuation of the holy gospel according to John. At that time Jesus said to Simon Peter, Simon, son of John, dost thou care for me more than these others?
- 6:45Yes, Lord, he told him, thou knowest well that I love thee. And he said to him, feed my lambs. And again a second time he asked him, Simon, son of John, dost thou care for me? Yes, Lord, he told him. Thou knowest well that I love thee.
- 7:15He said to him, tinned my shearlings. Then he asked him a third question. Simon, son of John, dost thou love me? Peter was deeply moved when he was asked for a third time, dost thou love me? And said to him, Lord thou knowest all things.
- 7:46Thou canst tell that I love thee. Jesus said to him, feed my sheep. The Offertory. Come my children and listen to my teaching. You shall learn what the fear of the Lord is.
- 8:12The secret. Accept our offerings we beseech thee in thy kindness, O Lord, and grant through the intercession of the supreme pontiff, Saint Pius, that we may with sincere compliance transact these divine mysteries and with loyal heart receive them 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. The common preface. Just it is indeed and fitting right in for our salvation that we should at all times and in all places give thanks unto thee, O Holy Lord, father almighty, everlasting god.
- 9:12Through 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. We 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.
- 9:53Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord. Hosanna in the highest. The communion. My flesh is real food. My blood is real drink.
- 10:12He who eats my flesh and drinks my blood lives continually in me and I in him. The post communion. Let us pray. Renewed by the excellence of thy heavenly banquet, we beg thee, o Lord our God, that by the intervention of the supreme pontiff, Saint Pius, we may be rendered strong in faith and of one heart in thy love. Through our Lord Jesus Christ thy son who liveth and reigneth with thee in the unity of the Holy Ghost.
- 11:00God through all ages of ages. Amen. In the name of the father and of the son and of the holy ghost. Amen. Saint Pius the tenth, pray for us.
