  At Rome, says the Roman martyrology, the feast of Saint Anacletus, pope and martyr, who governed the Church of God and honored it by his illustrious martyrdom. Participating in the fullness of the priesthood of Christ, this holy pontiff also shared his sufferings. King of souls, he trembled not before the prince of this world and became one of the foundation stones of the church in the first centuries.

  He decreed that all bishops should be consecrated by three bishops at least, that clerics should be publicly ordained by their own bishop, and at that Mass they should all receive Holy Communion after the consecration. He received the crown of martyrdom after having occupied the Holy See about ten years and was buried on Vatican Hill in the year of our Lord 01/2012. In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. Amen. The Introit.

  O God, who give us joy by the annual solemnity of blessed Anacletus, thy martyr and bishop, mercifully grant that we may rejoice in his protection whose birthday we celebrate. 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. A lesson from the second letter of Saint Paul the Apostle to the Corinthians. Brethren, blessed be the God and father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the merciful father, the God who gives all encouragement.
• 3:31
  He it is who comforts us in all our trials, and it is this encouragement we ourselves receive from God which enables us to comfort others whenever they have trials of their own. The sufferings of Christ, it is true, overflow into our lives, but there is overflowing comfort too which Christ brings to us. Have we trials to endure? It all makes for your encouragement, for your salvation. Are we comforted?
• 4:11
  It is so that you may be comforted. Are we encouraged? It is for your encouragement, for your salvation. And the effect of this appears in your willingness to undergo the sufferings we too undergo, making our hopes of you all the more confident. Partners of our sufferings, you will be partners of our encouragement too in Christ Jesus, our Lord.

  The gradual. Thou hast crowned him with glory and honor and has set him over the works of thy hands, o Lord. Alleluia. Alleluia. This is the priest whom the Lord hath crowned.
• 5:07
  Alleluia. A continuation of the holy gospel according to Matthew. At that time, Jesus said to his disciples, if any man has a mind to come my way, let him renounce self and take up his cross and follow me. The man who tries to save his life shall lose it. It is the man who loses his life for my sake that will secure it.
• 5:45
  How is a man the better for it if he gains the whole world at the cost of losing his own soul? For a man's soul, what price can be high enough? The son of man will come hereafter in his father's glory with his angels about him, and he will recompense everyone then according to his works. Believe me, there are those standing here who will not taste of death before they have seen the son of man coming in his kingdom. The offertory.
• 6:32
  I have found David, my servant. With my holy oil, I have anointed him. For my hand shall help him, and my arm shall strengthen him. The secret. Sanctify, oh, Lord, the offerings devoted to thee and appeased by the intercession of blessed Anacletus, thy martyr and bishop, and likewise by this sacrifice, look favorably upon us 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.
• 7:20
  Amen. The 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 powers stand in awe. The heavens and the hosts of heaven together with the blessed Seraphim joyfully do magnify.
• 8:01
  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. Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord. Hosanna in the highest.
