Gracias mil gracias. No todos son noticias negativas en esta España que nos aflige. El bien va por abajo, el mal por encima, lo que ocurre es que no se le ve. Y me explico. 
Tuve un problema con mi Dacia, no entraban las velocidades, y una de las marchas daba tirones. Veníamos mi mujer desde Asturias con el alma en vilo. Se encendieron dos chivatos rojos, uno que parecía una alcuza o aceitera y otro la trasera de un autobús derrapando. Tras nueve dias de espera pues llamamos por teléfono y nos dieron cita para hoy viernes 9 de agosto fiesta de San Lorenzo.
 Contactada la recepción, Oscar amablemente nos dijo que el cupo de reservas estaba agotado hasta septiembre pero con la mayor amabilidad del mundo no recibió a título excepcional. Me dijo deme: las llaves del Dacia que si yo puedo le atenderé y vino de talleres otro mecánico que sabía de la moderna tecnología que llevan los motores de nueva generación todo lo que hay que saber y en un un pispás la avería quedó solucionada. Las luces rojas las dos se apagaron y mi Dacia funciona ahora perfectamente. 
Los ángeles de la carretera sin menoscabo de la Guardia Coivil son estos  jóvenes muchachos a los que yo llamo los de la quinta del chupete pues hay tenemos a Niko y al joven del Barca de 17 años que nos ha conseguido la Copa de Europa  son los maravillosos jugadores de la quinta del biberón que nos van a sacar las castañas del fuego. Tenemos que ser optimistas por el trato exquisito, la elegancia y saberes tecnológicos de estos jóvenes que tenemos. He conducido autos en Inglaterra nueve años y en USA cinco, pues trabajaba de corresponsal de prensa. 
Una vez en San Francisco cuando me quede tirado en una autopista de ocho carriles creía que había llegado mi ultima hora. Ni la policía ni los gruistas fueron tan amables como aquí. Salvé el pellejo y acaso la cárcel a fuerza de dineros y "mordidas".
 Pero en la Renault del parque Europolis no me costó un duro.  Esto es un privilegio de la España hidalga y caballerosa  que tenemos aun cuando tales actos no salgan en las noticias.
Todo gratis et amore.
 Que Dios y el arcángel san Rafael bendigan a estos dos muchachos mis benefactores (el segundo su nombre lo tenía en la punta de la lengua, pero se me ha olvidado, pues me aqueja algo de alzheimer, cumplí ochenta años en junio. Así que, salutem plurimam. Que me perdone esta por esta falta de memoria. Ahora con mis mayores deseos de expresar mi gratitud hacia ello pero subo este post a mi blog de Google cuyo portal es

TRAGEDIA EN LA ROMERÍA

Hoy estoy enfadado con Dios o al menos perplejo, cosas que no entiendo. El 26 de julio de 2024 amaneció cernido de nubes, me levanté temprano. Estaba preparado el morral con la tortilla de patatas, la bota de vino y la de agua, y el palo de acebuche, mi querida cachava con la cual me desperdigo por estos montes de Dios y me abro paso entre los tojos o amedrento al jabalí que acecha en el mohedal. Iba a dirigir mis pasos hacia esa ermita tan blanca y dibujad de Santa Ana de Montarés, son quince kilómetros `pero a ultimo hora no salí, tuve una negra corazonada de que algo podría pasar; así que decidí no acompañar a mi hija pequeña que sí que subió en compañía de sus amigas las mozas de la aldea. 

Desde 1976 no solía faltar a esta fiesta de prado que tanto veneran los pixuetos.

En las paredes de este pequeño templo rural cuelgan exvotos de enfermos que curaron, gorros de marinos que salvaron de un naufragio y otras ofrendas.

Las parturientas y los enfermos que adolecen de algún mal a los huesos suelen pasarse por la espalda unas cadenas.

La gente de la mar de arribada al divisar en lo alto del monte la ermita blanca suspiraban con satisfacción al regresar de las costeras, ya estamos en casa.

 Montarés es un cotarro de bellezas paisajistas como pocos, lugar de España en la costa cántabra, viejos recuerdos y añoranzas. La santa Anina ye muy guapa. Después de la misa, la procesión y tambor y gaita. ¡Ay romerías del alma¡

A la santina la sacan en andas primero a ella y luego a su esposo san Joaquín el de las barbas. Son los abuelos de Cristo.

Manín llamémosle así era uno de los que portaban el paso; había hecho la promesa de llevar en cuello sobre las andas la venerada imagen iba descalzo por la explanada caso omiso a los tojos con espinas y a los cantos puntiagudos.

 ¿Cuál era su promesa?  Estaba divorciado y él un labrador y ganadero honrado no comprendía estos trajines de la vida moderna. Un juez de Pravia ─¿pero hay justicia en España?─ determinó dividir a la familia y compartir la paternidad de sus dos críos, un guaje y una guaja. Por cuya causa había sufrido depresiones.

 Esa era a nuestro humilde parecer que se concertaran paces en el matrimonio el origen de su voto ir descalzo pisando abrojos en la procesión de la santa.

Subió Manín con el tractor con su guaje de once años en el remolque. Después de la romería, acampada, merendola de tortilla de patatas, un gaitero amenazaba la fiesta, algo de vino, mozos y mozas bailaban la danza prima en la explanada.

El pueblo asturiano sabe gustar de la folixia como ningún otro. Ya de atardecida había que bajar. Y Manín y su niño enfilaron la pina cuesta camino de casa, el tractorista perdió el control del vehículo que fue a estrellarse contra un hórreo cerca de casería.

─Salta, nin, salta por amor de Dios

El padre pegaba voces pero el niño no saltó.

 Ambos perecieron aplastados contra el muro. No le valieron las penitencias, ni las suplicas a la santa. ¿Dónde estaba la mano divina?

Comprenderán mis lectores como tantos y muchos en el concejo la razón por la cual estemos compungidos. No encuentro palabras para exponer mi aturdimiento ante tal sinrazón.

 ¿Por qué, Señor, por qué?

 No hay respuesta. Ello forma parte de la clave misteriosa de ese silencio de Dios.

Descansen en paz. Una familia destrozada. ¿Fue el alcohol? ¿Fue eso que llaman violencia vicaria que tiene a nuestras familias aterradas? Santa Ana y san Joaquín tengan en el cielo a Manín y a su guaje.

Nosotros no sabemos nada. Únicamente cabe rezar.

 EN EL QUINTO CENTENARIO DEL MÚSICO PALESTRINA

 

Fue un tiempo de canciones y de roquetes

Altas bóvedas

Iglesias catedrales

Ritos solemnes

Los ángeles volaban sobre los coros

Había serafines de seis alas

Vigilantes

En el cancel catedralicio

Sonaban clarines y timbales

Al entrar el obispo en su cátedra

Arrastrando  capa magna

Yo fue un niño de coro

Contemplé toda aquella belleza

Mi alma empapada de melismas

Creía en la bondad y en la belleza

Soñé un futuro de armonías

Vendría la gran filocalía

Caminando entre sutiles contrapuntos

Yo recité divinas partituras y misas a seis voces

Éramos los puericantores

Avance del futuro

Dulces voces blancas

En mi no se ha perdido el eco

De aquellas semanas santas

 








PALESTRINA 1524-1594 MÚSICA POLIFÓNICA CUMPLE MEDIO MILENIO

 

El día de la Transfiguración en la fiesta de san Salvador es costumbre antigua entre los ovetenses llevar ramos de laurel y posarlos a los pìes de la imagen  del Cristo que guarda una de las columnas de la bóveda del transepto de la catedral.

Es una talla del siglo XI muy venerada a lo largo de más de un milenio por los peregrinos a Compostela pues ya lo refiere el dicho: “quien va a Santiago y no visita al Salvador por honrar al criado desdeña a su señor”. Emocionado por haber alcanzado la edad provecta, ochenta años y por la exuberancia del pequeño loreiro que tenemos en el jardín de atrás de nuestra casa dirigí mis pasos hacia la catedral de Vetusta que guarda las reliquias de santa Eulalia y fue el epicentro de las peregrinaciones a Santiago. Por eso denominan a este templo del gótico tardío "sacra Ovetensis". 

Nunca se vieron hojas de ramas tan verdes, ni ramos tan floridos pues con laurel coronaban a los emperadores y a los poetas del olimpo antiguamente.

 Es planta que crece en Asturias al menos en la parte en la cual vivo yo espontáneamente, vivaz y perenne. Recé.

─Ayúdanos, salva a tu pueblo, guarda a tus fieles, Señor

El sol de agosto proyectaba sus rayos oblicuos a través de las vidrieras policromas sobre el rostro del Cristo de les Orelles. 

Es una imagen tosca con los ojos protuberantes que contemplan serenos el pasmo de la eternidad y dos pabellones auriculares sobresalientes.

 Dentro de mí brotaba el raudal de una música de mi infancia cuando era niño de coro en Segovia, aquellas partituras de Palestrina que interpretábamos bajo la batuta del maestro de capilla. Los motetes eran como un gemido. Los improperios de Jeremías hacían llorar mientras, salmo viene y salmo va, se apagaban las velas del tenebrario.

Popule meus quid feci tibi aut in qua conristavi te, responde mihi” Cristo desde la cruz Interpelaba al pueblo de Israel…

 “Pueri Hebreorum” y luego estaban las lamentaciones de Jeremías profeta. A lo último, el “Aleph” y el canto de la Passio.

Los responsorios a seis voces se elevaban por el empino de las bóvedas flamígeras, el eco de esta música divina se dispersaba por los ánditos del triforio y de la vía sacra, aquella solemnidad, aquella unción…

El cristus musicus, el cristus structor o arquitecto el cristo taumaturgo, el cristo profeta, el hijo de Dios resplandecía en la luz de los cirios y jugaba con los neumas de los cantorales en letras grandes, sostén de la melodía.

 Los motetes de Palestrina nos hablaban de clemencia de perdón y de esperanza. Eran la voz de los siglos.

 ¿Quién era Palestrina? Pues un clérigo romano de vida alegre a quien el papa nombró su maestro de capilla. Hecho habitual en el siglo XVI, la centuria del amor. Hay que leer la ¡Lozana Andaluza¡”. 

Tenía cuatro hijos naturales pero la envidia y la intervención de los jesuitas inquisitoriales tan castos como crueles hizo que fuera destituido de su cargo de maestro de capilla. Quedó en la calle. Lo pasó mal. Las penurias y sufrimientos de su vida no afectaron a la majestad, empero, y grandeza de su arte.

Nadie después de él ha conseguido plasmar la belleza de la polifonía eclesiástica. Supo sacar provecho de los registros de la voz humana que es el mejor de los instrumentos musicales.

Asimismo, supo guardar la tradición antiquísima de la liturgia cristiana. El que canta reza dos veces.

El órgano es protestante, las trompetas, el armonium y el piano valen para la danza y el baile.

 Pio X  echó a las bandurrias y guitarras fuera de la iglesia. 

No quiero ser contreras ni remar contra corriente pero el Día de la Transfiguración en la catedral de Oviedo (sacra ovetensis) tuve una experiencia mística mientras besaba los pies del santo y dejaba en la peana un ramo de laureles.

Y estas consideraciones en el quinto centenario de Palestrina debieran mover a reflexión a aquellos que quieren una liturgia sin chantres ni puericantores. A palo seco.

Lesson
Lesson from the second letter of St. Peter the Apostle
2 Pet. 1:16-19
Beloved: We were not following fictitious tales when we made known to you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but we had been eyewitnesses of His grandeur. For He received from God the Father honor and glory, when from out the majestic glory a voice came down to Him, speaking thus: This is My beloved Son in Whom I am well pleased. And this voice we ourselves heard borne from heaven when we were with Him on the holy mount. And we have the word of prophecy, surer still, to which you do well to attend, as to a lamp shining in a dark place, until the day dawns and the morning star rises in your hearts.
R. Thanks be to God.

Matt 17:1-9
In illo témpore: Assúmpsit Jesus Petrum, et Jacóbum, et Joánnem fratrem ejus, et duxit illos in montem excélsum seórsum: et transfigurátus est ante eos. Et resplénduit fácies ejus sicut sol: vestiménta autem ejus facta sunt alba sicut nix. Et ecce, apparuérunt illis Moyses et Elías cum eo loquéntes. Respóndens autem Petrus, dixit ad Jesum: Dómine, bonum est nos hic esse: si vis, faciámus hic tria tabernácula, tibi unum, Móysi unum et Elíæ unum. Adhuc eo loquénte, ecce, nubes lúcida obumbrávit eos. Et ecce vox de nube, dicens: Hic est Fílius meus diléctus, in quo mihi bene complácui: ipsum audíte. Et audiéntes discípuli, cecidérunt in fáciem suam, et timuérunt valde. Et accéssit Jesus, et tétigit eos, dixítque eis: Surgite, et nolíte timére. Levántes autem óculos suos, néminem vidérunt nisi solum Jesum. Et descendéntibus illis de monte, præcépit eis Jesus, dicens: Némini dixéritis visiónem, donec Fílius hóminis a mórtuis resúrgat.
R. Laus tibi, Christe.
S. Per Evangélica dicta, deleántur nostra delícta.

Matt 17:1-9
At that time, Jesus took Peter, James and his brother John, and led them up a high mountain by themselves, and was transfigured before them. And His face shone as the sun, and His garments became white as snow. And behold, there appeared to them Moses and Elias talking together with Him. Then Peter addressed Jesus, saying, Lord, it is good for us to be here. If You will, let us set up three tents here, one for You, one for Moses, and one for Elias. As he was still speaking, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them, and behold, a voice out of the cloud said, This is My beloved Son, in Whom I am well pleased; hear Him. And on hearing it the disciples fell on their faces and were exceedingly afraid. And Jesus came near and touched them, and said to them, Arise, and do not be afraid. But lifting up their eyes, they saw no one but Jesus only. And as they were coming down from the mountain, Jesus cautioned them, saying, Tell the vision to no one, till the Son of Man has risen from the dead.
R. Praise be to Thee, O Christ.
S. By the words of the Gospel may our sins be blotted out.
Credo
Credo in unum Deum, Patrem omnipoténtem, factórem cæli et terræ, visibílium ómnium et invisibílium. Et in unum Dóminum Jesum Christum, Fílium Dei unigénitum. Et ex Patre natum ante ómnia sǽcula. Deum de Deo, lumen de lúmine, Deum verum de Deo vero. Génitum, non factum, consubstantiálem Patri: per quem ómnia facta sunt. Qui propter nos hómines et propter nostram salútem descéndit de cælis. Et incarnátus est de Spíritu Sancto ex María Vírgine: Et homo factus est. Crucifíxus étiam pro nobis: sub Póntio Piláto passus, et sepúltus est. Et resurréxit tértia die, secúndum Scriptúras. Et ascéndit in cælum: sedet ad déxteram Patris. Et íterum ventúrus est cum glória judicáre vivos et mórtuos: cujus regni non erit finis. Et in Spíritum Sanctum, Dóminum et vivificántem: qui ex Patre Filióque procédit. Qui cum Patre et Fílio simul adorátur et conglorificátur: qui locútus est per Prophétas. Et unam sanctam cathólicam et apostólicam Ecclésiam. Confíteor unum baptísma in remissiónem peccatórum. Et exspécto resurrectiónem mortuórum. Et vitam ventúri sæculi. Amen.

Creed
I believe in one God, the Father almighty, Maker of heaven and earth, and of all things, visible and invisible.
And in one Lord Jesus Christ, the only begotten Son of God. And born of the Father, before all ages. God of God: Light of Light: true God of true God. Begotten, not made, consubstantial with the Father, by whom all things were made. Who, for us men, and for our salvation, came down from heaven. And became incarnate by the Holy Ghost of the Virgin Mary: and was made man. He was crucified also for us, suffered under Pontius Pilate, and was buried. And the third day He rose again according to the Scriptures. And ascended into heaven, and sitteth at the right hand of the Father. And He shall come again with glory to judge both the living and the dead, of whose kingdom there shall be no end.
And in the Holy Ghost, the Lord and Giver of Life, proceeding from the Father and the Son. Who together, with the Father and the Son, is adored and glorified: Who spoke by the prophets. And in one, holy, Catholic and Apostolic Church. I confess one baptism for the remission of sins. And I look for the resurrection of the dead. And the life of the world to come. Amen.

I have loved, O Lord, the beauty of Thy house and the place where Thy glory dwelleth. Take not away my soul, O God, with the wicked: nor my life with blood-thirsty men.

My foot hath stood in the direct way, in the churches I will bless Thee, O Lord.

S. It is meet and just.

Nativity
It is truly meet and just, 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, for through the Mystery of the Word made flesh, the new light of Thy glory hath shone upon the eyes of our mind, so that while we acknowledge God in visible form, we may through Him be drawn to the love of things invisible. And therefore with Angels and Archangels, with Throne and Dominations, and with all the hosts of the heavenly army, we sing the hymn of Thy glory, evermore saying:

Holy, Holy, Holy, Lord God of Sabaoth! Heaven and earth are full of Thy glory! Hosanna in the highest! Blessed is He that cometh in the Name of the Lord! Hosanna in the highest!

Te ígitur, clementíssime Pater, per Jesum Christum, Fílium tuum, Dóminum nostrum, súpplices rogámus, ac pétimus, uti accépta hábeas et benedícas, hæc + dona, hæc + múnera, hæc + sancta sacrifícia illibáta, in primis, quæ tibi offérimus pro Ecclésia tua sancta cathólica: quam pacificáre, custodíre, adunáre et régere dignéris toto orbe terrárum: una cum fámulo tuo Papa nostro N. et Antístite nostro N. et ómnibus orthodóxis, atque cathólicæ et apostólicæ fídei cultóribus.

Canon
We therefore, humbly pray and beseech Thee, most merciful Father, through Jesus Christ; Thy Son, our Lord, that Thou wouldst vouchsafe to accept and bless these + gifts, these + presents, these + holy unspotted Sacrifices, which in the first place we offer Thee for Thy holy Catholic Church to which vouchsafe to grant peace, as also to preserve, unite, and govern it throughout the world, together with Thy servant our Pope, and our Bishop, and all orthodox believers and professors of the Catholic and Apostolic Faith.
Meménto, Dómine, famulórum famularúmque tuarum N. et N. et ómnium circumstántium, quorum tibi fides cógnita est et nota devótio, pro quibus tibi offérimus: vel qui tibi ófferunt hoc sacrifícium laudis, pro se suísque ómnibus: pro redemptióne animárum suárum, pro spe salútis et incolumitátis suæ: tibíque reddunt vota sua ætérno Deo, vivo et vero.
Be mindful, O Lord, of Thy servants and handmaidens, N. and N. and of all here present, whose faith and devotion are known unto Thee, for whom we offer, or who offer up to Thee, this sacrifice of praise for themselves, their families and friends, for the redemption of their souls, for the health and salvation they hope for; and who now pay their vows to Thee, the everlasting, living and true God.
Communicántes, et memóriam venerántes, in primis gloriósæ semper Vírginis Maríæ, Genetrícis Dei et Dómini nostri Jesu Christi: sed
et beatórum Apostolórum ac Mártyrum tuórum, Petri et Pauli, Andréæ, Jacóbi, Joánnis, Thomæ, Jacóbi, Philíppi, Bartholomǽi, Matthǽi, Simónis et Thaddǽi: Lini, Cleti, Cleméntis, Xysti, Cornélii, Cypriáni, Lauréntii, Chrysógoni, Joánnis et Pauli, Cosmæ et Damiáni: et ómnium Sanctórum tuórum; quorum méritis precibúsque concédas, ut in ómnibus protectiónis tuæ muniámur auxílio. Per eúndem Christum, Dóminum nostrum. Amen.

We pray in union with and honor the memory, especially of the glorious ever Virgin Mary, mother of our God and Lord Jesus Christ:
and of the blessed Apostles and Martyrs Peter and Paul, Andrew, James, John, Thomas, James, Philip, Bartholomew, Matthew, Simon, and Thaddeus; Linus, Cletus, Clement, Xystus, Cornelius, Cyprian, Lawrence, Chrysogonus, John and Paul, Cosmas and Damian, and of all Thy Saints, through whose merits and prayers, grant that we may in all things be defended by the help of Thy protection. Through the same Christ our Lord. Amen.

Hanc ígitur oblatiónem servitútis nostræ, sed et cunctæ famíliæ tuæ,
quǽsumus, Dómine, ut placátus accípias: diésque nostros in tua pace dispónas, atque ab ætérna damnatióne nos éripi, et in electórum tuórum júbeas grege numerári. Per Christum, Dóminum nostrum. Amen.
25

We therefore beseech Thee, O Lord, graciously to accept this oblation of our service, as also of Thy whole family;
and to dispose our days in Thy peace, preserve us from eternal damnation, and rank us in the number of Thine Elect. Through the same Christ our Lord. Amen.
Quam oblatiónem tu, Deus, in ómnibus, quǽsumus, bene + díctam, adscríp + tam, ra + tam, rationábilem, acceptabilémque fácere dignéris: ut nobis Cor + pus, et San + guis fiat dilectíssimi Fílii tui, Dómini nostri Jesu Christi.
Which oblation do Thou, O God, vouchsafe in all respects, to bless, + approve, + ratify, + make worthy and acceptable; that it may be made for us the Body + and Blood + of Thy most beloved Son Jesus Christ our Lord.
Qui prídie quam paterétur, accépit panem in sanctas ac venerábiles manus suas, elevátis óculis in cælum ad te Deum, Patrem suum omnipoténtem, tibi grátias agens, bene + díxit, fregit, dedítque discípulis suis, dicens: Accípite, et manducáte ex hoc omnes.
Who, the day before He suffered, took bread into His holy and venerable hands, and with His eyes lifted up towards heaven unto Thee, God, His almighty Father, giving thanks to Thee, He blessed + it, broke it and gave it to His disciples saying: Take and eat ye all of this,

HOC EST ENIM CORPUS MEUM.


28

FOR THIS IS MY BODY.



Símili modo postquam cenátum est, accípiens et hunc præclárum Cálicem in sanctas ac venerábiles manus suas: item tibi grátias agens, bene + díxit, dedítque discípulis suis, dicens: Accípite, et bíbite ex eo omnes.
29

In like manner, after He had supped, taking also this excellent chalice into His holy and venerable hands He blessed + , and gave it to His disciples, saying: Take and drink ye all of this,

HIC EST ENIM CALIX SANGUINIS MEI, NOVI ET ÆTERNI TESTAMENTI: MYSTERIUM FIDEI: QUI PRO VOBIS ET PRO MULTIS EFFUNDETUR IN REMISSIONEM PECCATORUM.


Hæc quotiescúmque fecéritis, in mei memóriam faciétis.
30

FOR THIS IS THE CHALICE OF MY BLOOD OF THE NEW AND ETERNAL TESTAMENT, THE MYSTERY OF FAITH; WHICH SHALL BE SHED FOR YOU AND FOR MANY UNTO THE REMISSION OF SINS.


As often as ye do these things, ye shall do them in remembrance of Me.

Unde et mémores, Dómine, nos servi tui, sed et plebs tua sancta, ejúsdem Christi Fílii tui, Dómini nostri, tam beátæ passiónis, nec non et ab ínferis resurrectiónis, sed et in cælos gloriósæ ascensiónis: offérimus præcláræ majestáti tuæ de tuis donis ac datis, hóstiam + puram, hóstiam + sanctam, hóstiam + immaculátam, Panem + sanctum vitæ ætérnæ, et Cálicem + salútis perpétuæ.
31

Wherefore, O Lord, we Thy servants, as also Thy holy people, calling to mind the blessed Passion of the same Christ, Thy Son, our Lord, and also His Resurrection from the dead and His glorious Ascension into heaven: do offer unto Thy most excellent Majesty of Thine own gifts, bestowed upon us, a pure + Host, a holy + Host, an unspotted + Host, the holy + Bread of eternal life, and the Chalice + of everlasting salvation.

Supra quæ propítio ac seréno vultu respícere dignéris: et accépta habére, sicúti accépta habére dignátus es múnera púeri tui justi Abel, et sacrifícium Patriárchæ nostri Abrahæ: et quod tibi óbtulit summus sacérdos tuus Melchísedech, sanctum sacrifícium, immaculátam hóstiam.
32

Upon which vouchsafe to look with a propitious and serene countenance, and to accept them, as Thou wert graciously pleased to accept the gifts of Thy just servant Abel, and the sacrifice of our patriarch Abraham, and that which Thy high priest Melchisedech offered to Thee, a holy Sacrifice, and unspotted Victim.
Súpplices te rogámus, omnípotens Deus: jube hæc perférri per manus sancti Angeli tui in sublíme altáre tuum, in conspéctu divínæ majestátis tuæ: ut, quotquot ex hac altáris participatióne sacrosánctum Fílii tui Cor + pus, et Sán + guinem sumpsérimus, omni benedictióne cælésti et grátia repleámur. Per eúndem Christum, Dóminum nostrum. Amen.
We most humbly beseech Thee, almighty God, command these offerings to be borne by the hands of Thy holy Angels to Thine altar on high, in the sight of Thy divine majesty, that as many as shall partake of the most holy Body + and Blood + of Thy Son at this altar, may be filled with every heavenly grace and blessing. Through the same Christ our Lord. Amen.
Meménto étiam, Dómine, famulórum famularúmque tuárum N. et N., qui nos præcessérunt cum signo fídei, et dórmiunt in somno pacis. Ipsis, Dómine, et ómnibus in Christo quiescéntibus locum refrigérii, lucis, et pacis, ut indúlgeas, deprecámur. Per eúndem Christum, Dóminum nostrum. Amen.
Remember also, O Lord, Thy servants and handmaids N. and N., who are gone before us with the sign of faith, and rest in the sleep of peace. To these, O Lord, and to all that rest in Christ, grant, we beseech Thee, a place of refreshment, light, and peace; Through the same Christ our Lord. Amen.
Nobis quoque peccatóribus fámulis tuis, de multitúdine miseratiónum tuárum sperántibus, partem áliquam et societátem donáre dignéris, cum tuis sanctis Apóstolis et Martýribus: cum Joánne, Stéphano, Matthía, Bárnaba, Ignátio, Alexándro, Marcellíno, Petro, Felicitáte, Perpétua, Agatha, Lúcia, Agnéte, Cæcília, Anastásia, et ómnibus Sanctis tuis: intra quorum nos consórtium, non æstimátor mériti, sed véniæ, quǽsumus, largítor admítte. Per Christum, Dóminum nostrum.
To us also, Thy sinful servants, confiding in the multitude of Thy mercies, vouchsafe to grant some part and fellowship with Thy holy Apostles and Martyrs, with John, Stephen, Matthias, Barnabas, Ignatius, Alexander, Marcellinus, Peter, Felicitas, Perpetua, Agatha, Lucy, Agnes, Cecilia, Anastasia, and with all Thy Saints, into whose company we beseech Thee to admit us, not weighing our merits, but pardoning our offenses. Through Christ our Lord.

O Lord Jesus Christ, who saidst to Thine Apostles: Peace I leave you, My peace I give you: regard not my sins, but the faith of Thy Church; and vouchsafe to grant her that peace and unity which is agreeable to Thy will: Who livest and reignest God, world without end. Amen.

Junctis manibus prosequitur:
In princípio erat Verbum, et Verbum erat apud Deum, et Deus erat Verbum. Hoc erat in princípio apud Deum. Omnia per ipsum facta sunt: et sine ipso factum est nihil, quod factum est: in ipso vita erat, et vita erat lux hóminum: et lux in ténebris lucet, et ténebræ eam non comprehendérunt.
Fuit homo missus a Deo, cui nomen erat Joánnes. Hic venit in testimónium, ut testimónium perhibéret de lúmine, ut omnes créderent per illum. Non erat ille lux, sed ut testimónium perhibéret de lúmine.
Erat lux vera, quæ illúminat omnem hóminem veniéntem in hunc mundum. In mundo erat, et mundus per ipsum factus est, et mundus eum non cognóvit. In própria venit, et sui eum non recepérunt. Quotquot autem recepérunt eum, dedit eis potestátem fílios Dei fíeri, his, qui credunt in nómine ejus: qui non ex sanguínibus, neque ex voluntáte carnis, neque ex voluntáte viri, sed ex Deo nati sunt. Genuflectit dicens: Et Verbum caro factum est, Et surgens prosequitur: et habitávit in nobis: et vídimus glóriam ejus, glóriam quasi Unigéniti a Patre, plenum grátiæ et veritátis.
R. Deo grátias.

The beginning ++ of the holy Gospel according to John
R. Glory be to Thee, O Lord.
John 1, 1-14

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by Him, and without Him was made nothing that was made: in Him was life, and the life was the Light of men; and the Light shineth in darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it.
There was a man sent from God, whose name was John. This man came for a witness, to testify concerning the Light, that all might believe through Him. He was not the Light, but he was to testify concerning the Light.
That was the true Light, which enlighteneth every man that cometh into this world. He was in the world, and the world was made by Him, and the world knew Him not. He came unto His own, and His own received Him not. But as many as received Him to them He gave power to become sons of God, to them that believe in His Name, who are born not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God. Here all kneel. And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us: and we saw His glory, the glory as of the Only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth.
R. Thanks be to God.
