v. Dicit Dóminus: Sermónes mei, quos dedi in os tuum, non defícient de ore tuo: et múnera tua accépta erunt super altáre meum.
v. The Lord says, My words which I have put in your mouth, shall not depart out of your mouth; and your gifts shall be accepted upon My altar.

Ps 111:1
Beátus vir, qui timet Dóminum: in mandátis ejus cupit nimis. V. Glória Patri, et Fílio, et Spirítui Sancto. R. Sicut erat in princípio, et nunc, et semper, et in sǽcula sæculórum. Amen. v. Dicit Dóminus: Sermónes mei, quos dedi in os tuum, non defícient de ore tuo: et múnera tua accépta erunt super altáre meum.
Happy the man who fears the Lord, who greatly delights in His commands. V. Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost. R. As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen. v. The Lord says, My words which I have put in your mouth, shall not depart out of your mouth; and your gifts shall be accepted upon My altar.

Léctio Epístolæ beáti Pauli Apóstoli ad Philippénses
Lesson from the letter of St. Paul the Apostle to the Philippians
Phil 3:17-21; 4:1-3
Phil 3:17-21; 4:1-3
Fratres: Imitatóres mei estóte, et observáte eos, qui ita ámbulant, sicut habétis formam nostram. Multi enim ámbulant, quos sæpe dicébam vobis - nunc autem et flens dico - inimícos Crucis Christi: quorum finis intéritus: quorum Deus venter est: et glória in confusióne ipsórum, qui terréna sápiunt. Nostra autem conversátio in cœlis est: unde étiam Salvatórem exspectámus, Dóminum nostrum Jesum Christum, qui reformábit corpus humilitátis nostræ, configurátum córpori claritátis suæ, secúndum operatiónem, qua étiam possit subjícere sibi ómnia. Itaque, fratres mei caríssimi et desideratíssimi, gáudium meum et coróna mea: sic state in Dómino, caríssimi. Evódiam rogo et Sýntychen déprecor idípsum sápere in Dómino. Etiam rogo et te, germáne compar, ádjuva illas, quæ mecum laboravérunt in Evangélio cum Cleménte et céteris adjutóribus meis, quorum nómina sunt in libro vitæ.
Brethren: Be imitators of me, and mark those who walk after the pattern you have in us. For many walk, of whom I have told you often and now tell you even weeping, that they are enemies of the Cross of Christ. Their end is ruin, their god is the belly, their glory is in their shame, they mind the things of earth. But our citizenship is in heaven from which also we eagerly await a Saviour, our Lord Jesus Christ, Who will refashion the body of our lowliness, conforming it to the body of His glory by exerting the power by which he is able also to subject all things to Himself. So then, my brethren, beloved and longed for, my joy and my crown, stand fast thus in the Lord, beloved. I entreat Evodia and I exhort Syntyche to be of one mind in the Lord. And I beseech you also, my loyal comrade, help them, for they have toiled with me in the gospel, as have Clement and the rest of my fellow-workers whose names are in the book of life.
