- 0:00Vox Liturgica: The propers of the day according to the Roman Missal before 1955. The fifth Sunday after Pentecost, June 28 in the year of our Lord 2026. In the name of the father and of the son and of the holy ghost. Amen.
- 0:29The introit.
- 0:32Hear, O Lord, my voice with which I have cried to thee. Be thou my helper. Forsake me not. Do not thou despise me, O God, my savior. The Lord is my light and my salvation.
- 0:50Whom shall I fear? 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. Hear, O Lord, my voice with which I have cried to thee, Be thou my helper. Forsake me not.
- 1:16Do not thou despise me, O God, my savior. The Collect. Let us pray. O God, who hast prepared for them that love thee such good things as past understanding, pour into our hearts such love towards thee that we, loving thee in all things and above all things, may obtain thy promises which exceed all that we can desire. A commemoration of Saint Irenaeus.
- 1:56O God, who enabled blessed Irenaeus, your martyr and bishop, to overcome heresy with true doctrine and to establish peace happily in thy church. Grant we beseech you that your people may be steadfast in holy religion and give us your peace in our times. A commemoration of the octave of Saint John the Baptist. O God, who has made this day honorable to us on account of the birth of blessed John, grant to thy people the grace of spiritual joys and direct the minds of all the faithful into the way of eternal salvation 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.
- 2:58A lesson from the first letter of Saint Peter the Apostle. In general, brethren, think the same thoughts, all of you, and share the same feelings. Be lovers of the brethren. I would see you tenderhearted, modest, and humble, not repaying injury with injury or hard words with hard words, but blessing those who curse you. This God's call demands of you, and you will inherit a blessing in your turn.
- 3:39Yes. Long life and prosperous days. Who would have these for the asking? My counsel is, keep thy tongue clear of harm, and thy lips free from every treacherous word. Neglect the call of evil, and rather do good.
- 4:05Let peace be all thy quest, all thy aim. On the upright, the lord's eye ever looks favorably. His ears are open to their pleading. Perilous is his frown for the wrongdoers. And who is to do you wrong if only what is good inspires your ambitions?
- 4:32If after all you should have to suffer in the cause of right, yours is a blessed lot. Do not be afraid or disturbed at their threats. Enthrone Christ as Lord in your hearts. The gradual. O God, ever our protector, do not disregard us now.
- 5:03Look favorably upon us, thy servants. O Lord, God of hosts, listen to the prayers of thy servants. Alleluia. Alleluia. Well may the king rejoice, O Lord, in thy protection.
- 5:23Well may he triumph in thy saving power. Alleluia. A continuation of the holy gospel according to Matthew. At that time, Jesus said to his disciples, if your justice does not give fuller measure than the justice of the scribes and the Pharisees, You shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven. You have heard that it was said to the men of old, thou shalt do no murder.
- 5:59And if a man commits murder, he must answer for it before the court of justice. But I tell you that any man who is angry with his brother must answer for it before the court of justice. And any man who says Raqqa to his brother must answer for it before the council. And any man who says to his brother, thou fool, must answer for it in hell fire. If thou art bringing thy gift then before the altar, and rememberest there that thy brother has some ground of complaint against thee, leave thy gift lying there before the altar, and go home.
- 6:49Be reconciled with thy brother first and then come back to offer thy gift. The offertory. Blessed be the Lord who schools me. Always I can keep God within my sight. Always he is at my right hand to make me stand firm.
- 7:18The secret. Be moved by our entreaties, O Lord, and graciously accept these offerings of thy servants so that each one's gift presented in thy honor may further the salvation of us all. A commemoration of Saint Irenaeus. O God, who do not allow the nations that believe in you to be troubled by any distress, Graciously accept the prayers and sacrificial gifts your people dedicate to you so that the peace bestowed by your love may make Christian lands safe from every foe. 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.
- 8:15Amen. A commemoration of the octave of Saint John the Baptist. We heap our gifts upon thine altars, O Lord, as we celebrate with due honor the nativity of him who prophesied the coming and made known the presence of the world savior. Jesus Christ, thy son, our Lord, who is God, living and reigning with thee in the unity of the Holy Ghost through all ages of ages. Amen.
- 8:53The preface of the most holy trinity. Just it is 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, who together with thine only begotten son and the Holy Ghost art one God, one Lord, not in the oneness of a single person, but in the trinity of one substance. For what by the revelation we believe of thy glory, the same do we believe of thy son, the same of the Holy Ghost without difference or separation so that in confessing the true and eternal godhead, distinction in persons, unity in essence, and equality in majesty may be adored. In praise of which the angels and archangels, the cherubim also and Seraphim day by day, exalt without end with one voice saying, holy, holy, holy, Lord God of hosts, The heavens and the earth are full of thy glory. Hosanna in the highest.
- 10:21Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord. Hosanna in the highest. The communion. One request I have ever made of the lord. Let me claim it still to dwell in the house of the lord all the days of my life.
- 10:48The post communion. Let us pray. Grant, we pray thee, O Lord, that we whom thou hast feasted with thy heavenly gift may be cleansed from our hidden sins and delivered from the snares of our enemies. A commemoration of Saint Irenaeus. O God, author and lover of peace, to know you is to live and to serve you is to rule.
- 11:21Protect from all assaults those who humbly implore you that trusting in your protection by the intercession of Saint Irenaeus, your martyr and bishop, we may not fear the power of any foe. 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 commemoration of the octave of Saint John the Baptist. Let thy church, O Lord, rejoice at the birth of blessed John the Baptist through whom she came to know the author of her own new birth.
- 12:10Jesus Christ, thy son, our Lord, who is God living and reigning with thee in the unity of the Holy Ghost through all ages of ages. Amen. In the name of the Father, and of the son and of the holy ghost. Amen. Saint Irenaeus, pray for us.
- 12:40Saint John the Baptist, pray for us.
