| Deus, qui peccáti véteris hereditáriam mortem, in qua posteritátis genus omne succésserat, Christi tui, Dómini nostri, passióne solvísti: da, ut, confórmes eídem facti; sicut imáginem terrénæ natúræ necessitáte portávimus, ita imáginem cœléstis grátiæ sanctificatióne portémus. Per eúndem Christum Dóminum nostrum. R. Amen. | O God who, by the Passion of Thy Christ, our Lord, hast loosened the bonds of death, that heritage of the first sin to which all men of later times did succeed: make us so conformed to Him that, as we must needs have bourne the likeness of earthly nature, so we may by santification bear the likeness of heavenly grace. Through the same Christ our Lord. R. Amen. |
I. Lectiones, Passio Hæc dicit Dóminus: In tribulatióne sua mane consúrgent ad me: Veníte, et revertámur ad Dóminum: quia ipse cepit, et sanábit nos: percútiet, et curábit nos. Vivificábit nos post duos dies: in die tértia suscitábit nos, et vivémus in conspéctu eius. Sciémus, sequemúrque, ut cognoscámus Dóminum: quasi dilúculum præparátus est egréssus eius, et véniet quasi imber nobis temporáneus, et serótinus terræ. Quid fáciam tibi Ephraim? quid fáciam tibi Iuda? Misericórdia vestra quasi nubes matutína, et quasi ros mane pertránsiens. Propter hoc dolávi in prophétis, occídi eos in verbis oris mei: et iudícia tua quasi lux egrediéntur. Quia misericórdiam vólui, et non sacrifícium, et sciéntiam Dei plus quam holocáusta. Dómine, audívi audítum tuum, et tímui: considerávi ópera tua, et expávi. V. In médio duórum animálium innotescéris: dum appropinquáverint anni cognoscéris: dum advénerit, tempus, ostendéris. V. In eo, dum conturbáta fúerit ánima mea: in ira, misericórdiæ memor eris. V. Deus a Líbano véniet, et Sanctus de monte umbróso, et condénso. V. Opéruit cœlos maiéstas eius: et láudis eius plena est terra. Orémus. V. Flectámus génua. R. Leváte. Deus, a quo et Iudas reátus sui pœnam, et confessiónis suæ latro prǽmium sumpsit, concéde novis tuæ propitiatiónis efféctum: ut sicut in passióne sua Iesus Christus Dóminus noster divérsa utrísque íntulit stipéndia meritórum; ita nobis, abláto vetustátis erróre, resurrectiónis suæ grátiam largiátur: Qui tecum vivit et regnat in unitáte Spíritus Sancti Deus per ómnia sǽcula sæculórum. R. Amen. | 2 I. Readings from Scripture, Passion, Thus saith the Lord: In their affliction they will rise early to Me: Come, and let us return to the Lord, for He hath taken us, and He will heal us, He will strike, and He will cure us. He will revive us after two days: on the third day He will raise us up and we shall live in His sight. We shall know and we shall follow on, that we may know the Lord. His going forth is prepared as the morning light and He will come to us as the early and the latter rain to the earth. What shall I do to thee, O Ephraim? What shall I do to thee, O Juda? Your mercy is as a morning cloud and as the dew that goeth away in the morning. For this reason have I hewed them by the Prophets, I have slain them by the words of my mouth: and thy judgements shall go forth as the light. For I desired mercy and not sacrifice: and the knowledge of God more than holocausts. O Lord, I have heard Thy hearing and was afraid: I have considered Thy works and trembled. V. In the midst of two animals Thou shalt be made known: when the years shall draw nigh Thou shalt be known: when the time shall come, Thou shalt be manifested. V. When my soul shall be in trouble, Thou wilt remember mercy, even in Thy wrath. V. God will come from Libanus, and the Holy One from the shady and thickly covered mountain. V. His majesty covered the heavens: and the earth is full of His praise. Let us pray. D. Let us kneel. R. Arise. O God, from whom Judas received the punishment of his guilt, and the thief the reward of his confession: grant unto us the full fruit of Thy clemency; that even as in His Passion, our Lord Jesus Christ gave to each a retribution according to his merits, so having taken away our old sins, He may bestow upon us the grace of His Resurrection. Who livest and reignest with God the Father, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, God, world without end. R. Amen |
In diébus illis: Dixit Dóminus ad Móysen et Aaron in terra Ægýpti: Mensis iste, vobis princípium ménsium: primus erit in ménsibus anni. Loquímini ad univérsum cœtum filiórum Israël, et dícite eis: Décima die mensis huius tollat unusquísque agnum per famílias et domos suas. Sin áutem minor est númerus, ut suffícere possit ad vescéndum agnum, assúmet vicínum suum qui iunctus est dómui suæ, iuxta númerum animárum quæ suffícere possunt ad esum agni. Erit áutem agnus absque mácula, másculus, annículus: iuxta quem ritum tollétis et hædum. Et servábitis eum usque ad quartamdécimam diem mensis huius: immolabítque eum univérsa multitúdo filiórum Israël ad vésperam. Et sument de sánguine eius, ac ponent super utrúmque postem, et in superlimináribus domórum, in quibus cómedent illum. Et edent carnes nocte illa assas igni, et azýmos panes cum lactúcis agréstibus. Non comedétis ex eo crudum quid, nec coctum aqua, sed tantum assum igni: caput cum pédibus eius et intestínis vorábitis. Nec remanébit quidquam ex eo usque mane. Si quid resíduum fúerit, igne comburétis. Sic áutem comedétis illum: renes vestros accingétis, et calceaménta habébitis in pédibus, tenéntes báculos in mánibus, et comedétis festinánter: est enim Phase id est tránsitus Dómini. Eripe me, Dómine, ab hómine malo: a viro iníquo líbera me. V. Qui cogitavérunt malítias in corde: tota die constituébant prǽlia. V. Acuérunt linguas suas sicut serpéntis: venénum áspidum sub lábiis eórum. V. Custódi me, Dómine, de manu peccatóris: et ab homínibus iníquis líbera me. V. Qui cogitavérunt supplantáre gressus meos: abscondérunt supérbi láqueum mihi. V. Et funes extendérunt in láqueum pédibus meis, iuxta iter scándalum posuérunt mihi. V. Dixi Dómino, Deus meus es tu: exáudi, Dómine, vocem oratiónis meæ. V. Dómine, Dómine virtus salútis meæ obúmbra caput meum in die belli. V. Ne tradas me a desidério meo peccatóri: cogitavérunt advérsus me: ne derelínquas me, ne unquam exalténtur. V. Caput circúitus eórum: labor labiórum ipsórum opériet eos. V. Verúmtamen iusti confitebúntur nómini tuo: et habitábunt recti cum vultu tuo. | 3 In those days the Lord said to Moses and Aaron in the land of Egypt: This month shall be to you the beginning of months: it shall be the first in the months of the year. Speak ye to the whole assembly of the children of Israel, and say to them: On the tenth day fo this month let every man take a lamb by their families and houses. But if the number be less than may suffice to eat the lamb, he shall take unto him his neighbor that joineth to his house, according to the number of souls which may be enough to eat the lamb. And it shall be a lamb without blemish, a male, of one year: according to which rite also you shall take a kid. And you shall keep it until the fourteenth day of this month: and the whole multitude of the children of Israel shall sacrifice it in the evening. And they shall take of blood thereof, and put it upon both the side posts, and on the upper door posts of the houses, wherein they shall eat it. And they shall eat the flesh that night roasted at the fire: and unleavened bread with wild lettuce. You shall not eat thereof any thing raw, nor boiled in water, but only roasted at the fire. You shall eat the head with the feet and entrails thereof. Neither shall there remain any thing of it until morning. If there be an thing left, you shall burn it with fire. And thus you shall eat it: You shall gird your reins, and you shall have shoes on your feet, holding staves in your hands, and you shall eat in haste; for it is the Phase that is the Passage of the Lord. Deliver me, O Lord, from the evil man: rescue me from the unjust man. V. Who have devised iniquities in their hearts: all the day long they designed battles. V. They have sharpened their tongues like a serpent; the venom of asps is under their lips. V. Keep me, O Lord, from the hand of the wicked: and from unjust men deliver me. V. Who have proposed to supplant my steps. The proud have hidden a net for me. V. And they have stretched out cords for a snare for my feet; they have laid for me a stumbling-block by the wayside. V. I said to the Lord: Thou art my God. Hear, O Lord, the voice of my supplication. V. O Lord, Lord, the strength of my salvation: overshadow my head in the day of battle. V. Give me not up from my desire to the wicked: they have plotted against me. Do not Thou forsake me, lest at any time they should triumph. V. The head of them compassing me about: the labor of their lips shall overwhelm them. V. But the just shall give glory to Thy Name: and the upright shall dwell with Thy countenance. |
Passio S. Dominus sit in córdibus vestris et in lábiis vestris. R. Amen. Pássio Dómini nostri Iesu Christi secúndum Ioánnem. In illo témpore: Egréssus est Iesus cum discípulis suis trans torréntem Cedron, ubi erat hortus, in quem introívit ipse, et discípuli eius Sciébat áutem et Iudas, qui tradébat eum, locum: quia frequénter Iesus convénerat illuc cum discípulis suis. Iudas ergo cum accepísset cohórtem, et a pontifícibus et pharisǽis?pharísæis minístros, venit illuc cum latérnis, et fácibus, et armis. Iesus ítaque sciens ómnia quæ ventúra erant super eum, procéssit, et dixit eis: I. Quem quǽritis? C. Respondérunt ei: S. Iesum Nazarénum. C. Dicit eis Iesus: I. Ego sum. C. Stabat áutem et Iudas, qui tradébat eum, cum ipsis. Ut ergo dixit eis: Ego sum: abiérunt retrórsum, et cecidérunt in terram. Iterum ergo interrogávit eos: I. Quem quǽritis? C. Illi áutem dixérunt, S. Iesum Nazarénum. C. Respóndit Iesus: I. Dixi vobis, quia ego sum: si ergo me quǽritis, sínite hos abíre. C. Ut implerétur sermo, quem dixit: Quia quos dedísti mihi, non pérdidi ex eis quemquam. Simon ergo Petrus habens gládium edúxit eum: et percússit pontíficis servum: et abscídit?ábscidit aurículam eius déxteram. Erat áutem nomen servo Malchus. Dixit ergo Iesus Petro: I. Mitte gládium tuum in vagínam. Cálicem, quem didit mihi Pater, non bibam illum? C. Cohors ergo, et tribúnus, et minístri Iudæórum comprehendérunt Iesum, et ligavérunt eum: et adduxérunt eum ad Annam primum; erat áutem socer Caíphæ, qui erat póntifex anni illíus. Erat áutem Caíphas, quo consílium déderat Iudǽis: Quia éxpedit unum hóminem mori pro pópulo. Sequebátur áutem Iesum Simon Petrus, et álius discípulus. Discípulus áutem ille erat notus pontífici, et introívit cum Iesu in átrium pontíficis. Petrus áutem stabat ad óstium foris. Exívit ergo discípulus álius, qui erat notus pontífici, et dixit ostiáriæ: et introdúxit Petrum. Dicit ergo Petro ancílla ostiária: S. Numquid et tu ex discípulis es hóminis istíus? C. Dicit ille: S. Non sum. C. Stabant áutem servi, et minístri ad prunas, quia frigus erat, et calefaciébant se. Erat áutem cum eis et Petrus stans, et calefáciens se. Póntifex ergo interrogávit Iesum de discípulis suis, et de doctrína eius. Respóndit ei Iesus: I. Ego palam locútus sum mundo: ego semper dócui in synagóga, et in templo, quo omnes Iudǽi convéniunt: et in occúlto locútus sum nihil. Quid me intérrogas? intérroga eos, qui audiérunt quid locútus sim ipsis: ecce hi sciunt quæ díxerim ego. C. Hæc áutem cum dixísset, unus assístens ministrórum dedit álapam Iesu, dicens: S. Sic respóndes pontífici? C. Respóndit ei Iesus: I. Si male locútus sum, testimónium pérhibe de malo: si áutem bene, quid me cædis? C. Et misit eum Annas ligátum ad Caípham pontíficem. Erat áutem Simon Petrus stans, et calefáciens se. Dixérunt ergo ei: S. Numquid et tu ex discípulis eius es? C. Negávit ille, et díxerit: S. Non sum. C. Dicit ei unus ex servis pontíficis, cognátus eius, cuius abscídit?ábscidit Petrus aurículam: S. Nonne ego te vidi in horto cum illo? C. Iterum ergo negávit Petrus: et statim gallus cantávit. Addúcunt ergo Iesum a Caípha in prætórium. Erat áutem mane: et ipsi non introiérunt in prætórium, ut non contaminaréntur, sed ut manducárent pascha. Exívit ergo Pilátus ad eos foras, et dixit: S. Quam accusatiónem affértis advérsus hóminem hunc? C. Respondérunt, et dixérunt ei: S. Si non esset hic malefáctor, non tibi tradidissémus eum. C. Dixit ergo eis Pilátus: S. Accípite eum vos, et secúndum legem vestram iudicáte eum. C. Dixérunt ergo ei Iudǽi: S. Nobis non licet interfícere quemquam. C. Ut sermo Iesu implerétur, quem dixit, signíficans qua morte esset moritúrus. Introívit ergo íterum in prætórium Pilátus et vocávit Iesum, et dixit ei: S. Tu es Rex Iudæórum? C. Respóndit Iesus: I. A temetípso hoc dicis, an álii dixérunt tibi de me? C. Respóndit Pilátus: S. Numquid ego Iudǽus sum? Gens tua, et pontífices tradidérunt te mihi: quid fecísti? C. Respóndit Iesus: I. Regnum meum non est de hoc mundo. Si ex hoc mundo esset regnum meum, minístri mei útique decertárent ut non tráderer Iudǽis: nun áutem regnum meum non est hinc. C. Dixit ítaque est Pilátus: S. Ergo Rex es tu? C. Respóndit Iesus: I. Tu dicis quia Rex sum ego. Ego in hoc natus sum, et ad hoc veni in mundum, ut testimónium perhíbeam veritáti: omnis, qui est ex veritáte, áudit vocem meam. C. Dicit ei Pilátus: S. Quid est véritas? C. Et cum hoc dixísset, íterum exívit ad Iudǽos, et dicit eis: S. Ego nullam invénio in eo cáusam. Est áutem consuetúdo vobis ut unum dimíttam vobis in Pascha: vultis ergo dimíttam vobis Regem Iudæórum? C. Clamavérunt ergo rursum omnes, dicéntes: S. Non hunc, sed Barábbam. C. Erat áutem Barábbas latro. Tunc ergo apprehéndit Pilátus Iesum, et flagellávit. Et mílites plecténtes corónam de spinis, imposuérunt cápiti eius: et veste purpúrea circumdedérunt eum. Et veniébant ad eum, et dicébant: S. Ave Rex Iudæórum. C. Et dabant ei álapas. Exívit ergo íterum Pilátus foras, et dicit eis: S. Ecce addúco vobis eum foras, ut cognoscátis quia nullam invénio in eo cáusam. C. Exívit ergo Iesus portans corónam spíneam, et purpúreum vestiméntum. Et dicit eis: S. Ecce homo. C. Cum ergo vidíssent cum pontífices et minístri, clamábant, dicéntes: S. Crucifíge, crucifíge eum. C. Dicit eis Pilátus: S. Accípite eum vos, et crucifígite: ego enim non invénio in eo cáusam. C. Respondérunt ei Iudǽi: S. Nos legem habémus, et secúndum legem debet mori, quia Fílium Dei se fecit. C. Cum ergo audísset Pilátus hunc sermónem, magis tímuit. Et ingréssus est prætórium íterum: et dixit ad Iesum: S. Unde es tu? C. Iesus áutem respónsum non dedit ei. Dicit ergo ei Pilátus: S. Mihi non lóqueris? Nescis quia potestátem hábeo crucifígere te, et potestátem hábeo dimíttere te? C. Respóndit Iesus: I. Non habéres potestátem advérsum me ullam, nisi tibi datum esset désuper. Proptérea qui me trádidit tibi, máius?maius peccátum habet. C. Et exínde quærébat Pilátus dimíttere eum. Iudǽi áutem clamábant, dicéntes: S. Si hunc dimíttis, non es amícus Cǽsaris. Omnis enim qui se regem facit, contradícit Cǽsari. C. Pilátus áutem cum audísset hos sermónes, addúxit foras Iesum, et sedit pro tribunáli, in loco qui dícitur Lithóstrotos, hebráice áutem Gábbatha. Erat áutem Parascéve Paschæ, hora quasi sexta, et dicit Iudǽis: S. Ecce Rex vester. C. Illi áutem clamábant: S. Tolle, tolle, crucifíge eum. C. Dicit eis Pilátus: S. Regem vestrum crucifígam? C. Respondérunt pontífices: S. Non habémus regem, nisi Cǽsarem. C. Tunc ergo trádidit eis illum ut crucifigerétur. Suscepérunt áutem Iesum, et eduxérunt. Et báiulans sibi crucem, exívit in eum, qui dícitur Calváriæ, locum, hebráice áutem Gólgotha: ubi crucifixérunt eum, et cum eo álios duos hinc et hinc, médium áutem Iesum. Scripsit áutem et títulum Pilátus: et pósuit super crucem. Erat áutem scriptum: Iesus Nazarénus, Rex Iudæórum. Hunc ergo títulum multi Iudæórum legérunt, quia prope civitátem erat locus ubi crucifíxus est Iesus. Et erat scriptum hebráice, græce et latíne. Dicébant ergo Piláto pontífices Iudæórum: S. Noli scríbere, Rex Iudæórum, sed quia ipse dixit: Rex sum Iudæórum. C. Respóndit Pilátus: S. Quod scripsi, scripsi. C. Mílites ergo cum crucifixíssent eum, accepérunt vestiménta eius et fecérunt quátuor partes: unicuíque míliti partem, et túnicam. Erat áutem túnica inconsútilis, désuper contéxta per totum. Dixérunt ergo ad ínvicem: S. Non scindámus eam, sed sortiámur de illa cuius sit. C. Ut Scriptúra implerétur, dicens: Partíti sunt vestiménta mea sibi: et in vestem meam misérunt sortem. Et mílites quidem hæc fecérunt. Stabant áutem iuxta crucem Iesu mater eius, et soror matris eius María Cléophæ, et María Magdaléne. Cum vidísset ergo Iesus matrem, et discípulum stantem, quem diligébat, dicit matri suæ: I. Múlier, ecce fílius tuus. C. Deínde dicit discípulo: I. Ecce mater tua. C. Et ex illa hora accépit eam discípulus in sua. Póstea sciens Iesus quia ómnia consummáta sunt, ut consummarétur Scriptúra, dixit: I. Sítio. C. Vas ergo erat pósitum acéto plenum. Illi áutem spóngiam plenam acéto, hyssópo circumponéntes, obtulérunt ori eius. Cum ergo accepísset Iesus acétum, dixit: I. Consummátum est. C. Et inclináto cápite, trádidit spíritum. Iudǽi ergo quóniam Parascéve erat ut non remanérent in cruce córpora sábbato erat enim magnus dies ille sábbati) rogavérunt Pilátum, ut frangeréntur eórum crura, et tolleréntur. Venérunt ergo mílites: et primi quidem fregérunt crura, et altérius qui crucifíxus est cum eo. Ad Iesum áutem cum veníssent, ut vidérunt eum iam mórtuum, non fregérunt eius crura: sed unus mílitum láncea latus eius apéruit, et contínuo exívit sanguis et aqua. Et qui vidit, testimónium perhíbuit: et verum est testimónium eius. Et ille scit, quia vera dicit: ut et vos credátis. Facta sunt enim hæc ut Scriptúra implerétur: Os non comminuétis ex eo. Et íterum ália Scriptúra dicit: Vidébunt in quem transfixérunt. Post hæc áutem rogávit Pilátum Ioseph ab Arimathǽa eo quod esset discípulus Iesu, occúltus áutem propter metum Iudæórum, ut tólleret corpus Iesu. Et permísit Pilátus. Venit ergo, et tulit corpus Iesu. Venit áutem et Nicodémus, qui vénerat ad Iesum nocte primum, ferens mixtúram myrrhæ, et áloes, quasi libras centum. Accepérunt ergo corpus Iesu, et ligavérunt illud línteis cum aromátibus, sicut mos est Iudǽis sepelíre. Erat áutem in loco, ubi crucifíxus est, hortus: et in horto monuméntum novum, in quo nondum quisquam pósitus erat. Ibi ergo propter Parascéven Iudæórum, quia iuxta erat monuméntum, posuérunt Iesum. | 4 Passion P. May the Lord be in your hearts and on your lips. R. Amen. The Passion of Our Lord Jesus Christ according to St. John. At that time Jesus went forth with His disciples over the brook Cedron, where there was a garden, into which He entered with His disciples. And Judas also, who betrayed Him, knew the place: because Jesus had often resorted thither together with His disciples. Judas therefore having received a band of soldiers and servants from the chief priests and the Pharisees, cometh thither with lanterns and torches and weapons. Jesus therefore, knowing that all things that should come upon Him, went forth and said to them: J. Whom seek ye? C. They answered Him: S. Jesus of Nazareth. C. Jesus saith to them: J. I am He. C. And Judas also, who betrayed Him, stood with them. As soon therefore as He had said to them: J. I am He; they went backward and fell to the ground. Again therefore He asked them: J. Whom seek ye? C. And they said: S. Jesus of Nazareth. C. Jesus answered: J. I have told you that I am He. If therefore you seek Me, let these go their way; C. That the word might be fulfilled which He said: Of them whom Thou hast given Me, I have not lost anyone. Then Simon Peter, having a sword, drew it and struck the servant of the high priest and cut off his right ear. And the name of the servant was Malchus. Jesus therefore said to Peter: J. Put up thy sword in the scabbard. The chalice which My Father hath given Me, shall I not drink it? C. Then the band and the tribune and the servants of the Jews took Jesus, and bound Him. And they led Him away to Annas first, for he was father-in-law to Caiphas, who was the high priest that year. Now Caiphas was he who had given the counsel to the Jews: that it was expedient that one man should die for the people. And Simon Peter followed Jesus: and so did another disciple. And that disciple was known to the high priest and went in with Jesus into the court of the high priest. But Peter stood at the door without. The other disciple therefore, who was known to the high priest, went out and spoke to the portress and brought in Peter. The maid therefore that was portress saith to Peter: S. Art not thou also one of this man's disciples? C. He saith: S. I am not. C. Now the servants and ministers stood at a fire of coals, because it was cold, and warmed themselves. And with them was Peter, also, standing and warming himself. The high priest therefore asked Jesus of His disciples and of His doctrine. Jesus answered him: J. I have spoken openly to the world. I have always taught in the synagogue and in the temple, whither all the Jews resort: and in secret I have spoken nothing. Why asketh thou Me? Ask them who have heard what I have spoken unto them. Behold they know what things I have said. C. And when He had said these things, one of the servants, standing by, gave Jesus a blow, saying: S. Answerest Thou the high priest so? C. Jesus answered him: J. If I have spoken evil, give testimony of the evil; but if well, why strikest thou Me? C. And Annas sent Him bound to Caiphas the high priest. And Simon Peter was standing and warming himself. They said therefore to him: S. Art not thou also one of His disciples? C. He denied it and said: S. I am not. C. One of the servants of the high priest a kinsman to him whose ear Peter cut off saith to him: S. Did I not see thee in the garden with Him? C. Again therefore Peter denied; and immediately the cock crew. Then they led Jesus from Caiphas to the governor's hall. And it was morning; and they went not into the hall, that they might not be defiled, but that they might eat the Pasch. Pilate therefore went out to them, and said: S. What accusation bring you against this man? C. They answered and said to him: S. If He were not a malefactor, we would not have delivered Him up to thee. C. Pilate therefore said to them: S. Take Him you, and judge Him according to your law. C. The Jews therefore said to him: S. It is not lawful for us to put any man to death. C. That the word of Jesus might be fulfilled, which He said, signifying what death He should die. Pilate therefore went into the hall again and called Jesus and said to Him: S. Art Thou the King of the Jews? C. Jesus answered: J. Sayest thou this thing of thyself, or have other told it thee of Me? C. Pilate answered: S. Am I a Jew? Thine own nation and the chief priests have delivered Thee up to me. What hast Thou done? C. Jesus answered: J. My kingdom is not of this world. If My kingdom were of this world, My servants would certainly strive that I should not be delivered to the Jews: but now My kingdom is not from hence. C. Pilate therefore said to Him: S. Art Thou a King then? C. Jesus answered: J. Thou sayest I am a king. For this was I born, and for this came I into the world; that I should give testimony of the truth. Every one that is of the truth heareth My voice. C. Pilate saith to Him: S. What is truth? C. And when he had said this, he went out again to the Jews and saith to them: S. I find no cause in Him. But you have a custom that I should release one unto you at the Pasch. Will you, therefore, that I release unto you the King of the Jews? C. Then cried they all again, saying: S. Not this man, but Barabbas. C. Now Barabbas was a robber. Then therefore Pilate took Jesus and scourged Him. And the soldiers platting a crown of thorns, put it upon His head; and they put on Him a purple garment. And they came to Him and said: S. Hail, King of the Jews. C. And they gave Him blows. Pilate therefore went forth again and saith to them: S. Behold, I bring Him forth unto you, that you may know that I find no cause in Him. C. Jesus therefore came forth, bearing the crown of thorns and the purple garment. And he saith to them: S. Behold the man. C. When the chief priests, therefore, and the servants had seen Him, they cried out, saying: S. Crucify Him, crucify Him. C. Pilate saith to them: S. Take Him you, and crucify Him; for I find no cause in Him. C. The Jews answered him: S. We have a law, and according to the law He ought to die, because He made Himself the Son of God. C. When Pilate, therefore, had heard this saying, he feared the more. And he entered into the hall again; and he said to Jesus: S. Whence art Thou? C. But Jesus gave him no answer. Pilate therefore saith to Him: S. Speakest Thou not to me? Knowest Thou not that I have power to crucify Thee, and I have power to release Thee? C. Jesus answered: J. Thou shouldst not have any power against Me, unless it were given thee from above. Therefore, he that hath delivered Me to thee hath a greater sin. C. And from henceforth Pilate sought to release Him. But the Jews cried out, saying: S. If thou release this Man, thou art not Caesar's friend. For whosoever maketh himself a king speaketh against Caesar. C. Now when Pilate had heard these words, he brought Jesus forth and sat down in the judgment seat, in the place that is called Lithostrotos, and in Hebrew Gabbatha. And it was Parasceve of the Pasch, about the sixth hour; and he saith to the Jews: S. Behold your King. C. But they cried out: S. Away with Him. Away with Him: Crucify Him. C. Pilate saith to them: S. Shall I crucify your King? C. The chief priests answered: S. We have no king but Caesar. C. Then, therefore, he delivered Him to them to be crucified. And they took Jesus and led Him forth. And bearing His cross, He went forth to that place which is called Calvary but in Hebrew Golgotha.; where they crucified Him, and with Him two others, one on each side and Jesus in the midst. And Pilate wrote a title also: and he put it upon the cross. And the writing was: Jesus of Nazareth, the King of the Jews. This title therefore many of the Jews did read: because the place where Jesus was crucified was nigh to the city. And it was written in Hebrew, Greek, and in Latin. Then the chief priests of the Jews said to Pilate: S. Write not: The King of the Jews; but that He said: I am the King of the Jews. C. Pilate answered: S. What I have written, I have written. C. The soldiers therefore, when they had crucified Him, took His garments and they made four parts, to every soldier a part and also His coat. Now the coat was without seam, woven from the top throughout. They said then one to another: S. Let us not cut it, but let us cast lots for it, whose it shall be: that the Scripture might be fulfilled which saith: They have parted My garemnts among them, and upon My vesture they have cast lots. And the soldiers indeed did these things. Now there stood by the cross of Jesus His Mother, and His Mother's sister, Mary of Cleophas, and Mary Magdalen. When Jesus therefore had seen His Mother and the disciple standing whom He loved, He saith to His Mother: J. Woman, behold thy son. C. After that, He saith to the disciple: J. Behold thy mother. C. And from that hour, the disciple took her to his own. Afterwards, Jesus, knowing that all things were now accomplished, that the Scripture might be fulfilled, said: J. I thirst. C. Now there was a vessel set there, full of vinegar. And they, putting a sponge full of vinegar about hyssop, put it to His mouth. Jesus therefore, when He had taken the vinegar, said: J. It is consummated. C. And bowing His head, He gave up the ghost. Then the Jews because it was the Parasceve, that the bodies might not remain upon the cross on the Sabbath day for that was a great Sabbath day, besought Pilate that their legs might be broken and that they might be taken away. The soldiers therefore came, and they broke the legs of the first, and of the other that was crucified with Him. But after they were come to Jesus, when they saw that He was already dead, they did not break His legs. But one of the soldiers with a spear opened His side, and immediately there came out blood and water. And he that saw it hath given testimony: and his testimony is true. And he knoweth that he saith true: that you also may believe. For these things were done that the Scripture might be fulfilled: you shall not break a bone of Him. And again another Scripture saith: They shall look on Him whom they pierced. And after these things, Joseph of Arimathea because he was a disciple of Jesus, but secretly for fear of the Jews besought Pilate that he might take away the Body of Jesus. And Pilate gave leave. He came therefore and took away the Body of Jesus. And Nicodemus also came he who at the first came to Jesus by night, bringing a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about a hundred pound weight. They took therefore the Body of Jesus and bound it in linen cloths, with the spices, as the manner of the Jews is to bury. Now there was in the place where He was crucified a garden: and in the garden a new sepulchre, wherein no man yet had been laid. There, therefore, because of the Parasceve of the Jews, they laid Jesus, because the sepulchre was nigh at hand. |

Communio Oremus. Præcéptis salutáribus móniti, et divína institutióne formǽti, audémus dícere: Pater noster, qui es in coelis, sanctificetur nomen tuum. Adveniat regnum tuum. Fiat voluntas tua, sicut in coelo, et in terra. Panem nostrum cotidianum da nobis hodie: et dimitte nobis debita nostra, sicut et nos dimittibus debitoribus nostris. Et ne nos inducas in tentationem; sed libera nos a malo. Amen. Líbera nos, quǽsumus, Dómine, ab ómnibus malis, prætéritis, præséntibus, et futúris: et intercidénte beáta et gloriósa semper Vírgine Dei Genetríce María, cum beátis Apóstolis tuis Petro et Páulo, atque Andréa, et ómnibus Sanctis, da propítius pacem in diébus nostris: ut ope misericórdiæ tuæ adiúti, et a peccáto simus semper líberi, et ab omni perturbatióne secúri. Per eúmdem Dóminum nostrum Iesum Christum Fílium tuum, qui tecum vivit et regnat in unitáte Spíritus Sancti Deus, per ómnia sǽcula sæculórum. R. Amen. Percéptio Córporis tui, Dómine Iesu Christe, quod ego indígnus súmere præsúmo, non mihi provéniat in iudícium et condemnatiónem: sed pro tua pietáte prosit mihi ad tutaméntum mentis, et córporis, et ad medélam percipiéndam. Qui vivis et regnas cum Deo Patre in unitáte Spíritus Sancti Deus, per ómnia sǽcula sæculórum. Amen. Dómine, non sum dignus, ut intres sub tectum meum: sed tantum dic verbo, et sanábitur ánima mea. Dómine, non sum dignus, ut intres sub tectum meum: sed tantum dic verbo, et sanábitur ánima mea. Dómine, non sum dignus, ut intres sub tectum meum: sed tantum dic verbo, et sanábitur ánima mea.

Indulgéntiam, absolutiónem ✠ et remissiónem peccatórum vestrórum tríbuat vobis omnípotens et miséricors Dóminus. Amen. Ecce Agnus Dei, ecce qui tollit peccáta mundi.

Instructed by Thy saving precepts, and following Thy divine institution, we make bold to say: Our Father, who art in Heaven: hallowed be Thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done on earth as it is in Heaven. Give us this day our daily bread: and forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation; but deliver us from evil. Amen. Deliver us, we beseech Thee, O Lord, from all evils, past, present, and to come; and by the intercession of the blessed and glorious ever Virgin Mary, Mother of God, and of the Holy Apostles, Peter and Paul, and of Andrew, and of all the Saints, mercifully grant peace in our days, that through the assistance of Thy mercy we may be always free from sin, and secure from all disturbance. Through the same Jesus Christ, Thy Son, our Lord, Who with Thee in the unity of the Holy Ghost liveth and reigneth God, world without end. R. Amen. Let not the partaking of Thy Body, O Lord Jesus Christ, which I, though unworthy, presume to receive, turn to my judgment and condemnation; but let it, through Thy mercy, become a safeguard and remedy, both for soul and body; Who with God the Father, in the unity of the Holy Ghost, livest and reignest God, for ever and ever. Amen. Lord, I am not worthy that Thou shouldst enter under my roof; say but the word, and my soul shall be healed. Lord, I am not worthy that Thou shouldst enter under my roof; say but the word, and my soul shall be healed. Lord, I am not worthy that Thou shouldst enter under my roof; say but the word, and my soul shall be healed. May the body of our Lord Jesus Christ preserve my soul unto life everlasting. Amen. |

Upon Thy people who with devout hearts have recalled the Passion and Death of Thy Son, we beseech Thee, O Lord, may plentiful blessings descend: may gentleness be used with us, and consolation given us, may our faith increase in holiness, our redemption for ever made firm. Through the same Christ our Lord. Amen. R. Amen. Let us pray.
