Léctio Epístolæ beáti Pauli Apóstoli ad Romános

A reading from the Epistle of blessed Paul the Apostle to the Romans.

Rom 5:1-5.

Rom 5:1-5

Fratres: Justificáti ex fide, pacem habeámus ad Deum per Dóminum nostrum Jesum Christum: per quem et habémus accéssum per fidem in grátiam istam, in qua stamus, et gloriámur in spe glóriæ filiórum Dei. Non solum autem, sed et gloriámur in tribulatiónibus: scientes, quod tribulátio patiéntiam operátur, patiéntia autem probatiónem, probátio vero spem, spes autem non confúndit: quia cáritas Dei diffúsa est in córdibus nostris per Spíritum Sanctum, qui datus est nobis.

Brethren: Being justified therefore by faith, let us have peace with God, through our Lord Jesus Christ: By whom also we have access through faith into this grace, wherein we stand, and glory in the hope of the glory of the sons of God. And not only so; but we glory also in tribulations, knowing that tribulation worketh patience; And patience trial; and trial hope; And hope confoundeth not: because the charity of God is poured forth in our hearts, by the Holy Ghost, who is given to us.

Sequéntia ++ sancti Evangélii secúndum Lucam

Continuation ++ of the Holy Gospel according to Luke.

Luc. 11:47-51

Luke 11:47-51

In illo témpore: Dicébat Jesus scribis et pharisǽis: Væ vobis, qui ædificátis monuménta prophetárum: patres autem vestri occidérunt illos. Profécto testificámini, quod consentítis opéribus patrum vestrórum: quóniam ipsi quidem eos occidérunt, vos autem ædificátis eórum sepúlcra. Proptérea et sapiéntia Dei dixit: Mittam ad illos prophétas et apóstolos, et ex illis occídent et persequántur: ut inquirátur sanguis ómnium prophetárum, qui effúsus est a constitutióne mundi a generatióne~ ista, a sánguine Abel usque ad sánguinem Zacharíæ, qui périit inter altáre et ædem. Ita dico vobis, requirétur ab hac generatióne.

At that time, Jesus said to the Scribes and Pharisees: Woe to you who build the monuments of the prophets: and your fathers killed them. Truly you bear witness that you consent to the doings of your fathers: for they indeed killed them, and you build their sepulchres. For this cause also the wisdom of God said: I will send to them prophets and apostles; and some of them they will kill and persecute. That the blood of all the prophets which was shed from the foundation of the world, may be required of this generation, from the blood of Abel unto the blood of Zacharias, who was slain between the altar and the temple: Yea I say to you, it shall be required of this generation.
