1962 Sunday Missal Mass Readings/Propers for the Second Sunday of Lent
 

Colors:  Purple

INTROIT 
Psalm 24: 6, 3, 22
Remember, O Lord, Thy bowels of compassion, and Thy mercies that are from the beginning of the world, lest at any time our enemies rule over us: deliver us, O God of Israel, from all our tribulations. -- (Ps. 24. 1, 2). To Thee, O Lord, have I lifted up my soul: in Thee, O my God, I put my trust; let me be not ashamed. V.: Glory to the Father . . . -- Remember, O Lord . . .

COLLECT - O God, who seest that we are wholly destitute of strength, keep us within and without: that we may be defended in body from all adversity: and cleansed in mind from evil thoughts. Through our Lord Jesus Christ, Thy Son, who liveth and reigneth . . .

EPISTLE
I Thessalonians 4: 1 - 17
Brethren, We pray and beseech you in the Lord Jesus that, as you have received from us how you ought to walk and to please God, so also you would walk, that you may abound the more. For you know what precepts I have given to you by the Lord Jesus. For this is the will of God, your sanctification: that you should abstain from fornication, that every one of you should know how to possess his vesel in sanctification and honor; not in the passion of lust, like the Gentiles that know not God: and that no man overreach nor circumvent his brother in business: because the Lord is the Avenger of all these things, as we have told you before and have all testified. For God hath not called us unto uncleanness, but unto sanctification: in Christ Jesus our Lord.

GRADUAL
Psalm 24: 17, 18
The troubles of my heart are multiplied: deliver me from my necessities, O Lord. V.: See my abjection and my labor; and forgive me all my sins.

TRACT
Psalm 105: 1 - 4
Give glory to the Lord, for He is good: for his mercy endureth for ever. V.: Who shall declare the powers of the Lord: who shall set forth all His praises? V.: Blessed are they that keep judgment and do justice at all times. V.: Remember us, O Lord, in the favor of Thy people: visit us with Thy salvation.
 

 

GOSPEL Matthew 17: 1 - 9

At that time Jesus took Peter and James, and John his brother, and bringeth them up into a high mountain apart: and He was transfigured before them. And His face did shine as the sun, and His garments became white as snow. And behold there appeared to them Moses and Elias talking with Him. Then Peter answering said to Jesus: Lord, it is good for us to be here: if Thou wilt, let us make here three tabernacles, one for Thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elias. And as he was yet speaking, behold a bright cloud overshadowed them. And lo, a voice out of the cloud, saying: This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased: hear ye Him. And the disciples hearing, fell upon their face and were very much afraid. And Jesus came and touched them, and said to them: Arise, and fear not. And they, lifting up their eyes, saw no one, but only Jesus. And as they came down from the mountain, Jesus charged them, saying: Tell the vision to no man till the Son of Man be risen from the dead.

OFFERTORY
Psalm 118: 47, 48
I will meditate on Thy commandments, which I have loved exceedingly: and I will lift up my hands to Thy commandments which I have loved.

SECRET - Look favorably upon these present Sacrifices, we beseech Thee, O Lord, that they may profit us both unto devotion and salvation. Through our Lord Jesus Christ, Thy Son, who liveth and reigneth . . .

PREFACE (Preface for Lent) - It it 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; Who by this bodily fast, dost curb our vices, dost lift up our minds and bestow on us strength and rewards; through Christ our Lord. Through whom the Angels praise Thy Majesty, the Dominations worship it, the Powers stand in awe. The Heavens and the heavenly hosts together with the blessed Seraphim in triumphant chorus unite to celebrate it. Together with these we entreat Thee that Thou mayest bid our voices also to be admitted while we say with lowly praise:

COMMUNION
Psalm 5: 2 - 4
Understand my cry: hearken to the voice of my prayer, O my King and my God: for to Thee will I pray, O Lord.

POST COMMUNION - We humbly beseech Thee, almighty God, that we whom Thou dost refresh by Thy Sacraments may worthily serve Thee by lives well pleasing to thee. Through our Lord Jesus Christ, Thy Son, who liveth . . .

The Painting is Raphael's "deathbed" work from the early 1600's. It was his last before he died at the age of 37.

It hangs in the Vatican museum.

That painting certainly uplifts the spirit. Thanks for posting.

Here's wishing all FReepers a blessed Lenten season.

This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased: hear ye Him.

Surely one of the most important verses in the bible.

Sunday A.M. bump.

[Mike Fieschko]

Thanks again.

I've found a source on the 'net for excerpts from The Liturgical Year by Dom Guéranger: Catholic Haven.

Most Sundays are there (the Fifth and Sixth Sundays after Epiphany aren't on the site, neither is Septuagesima Sunday) along with some holydays of obligation (Christmas, the Circumcision, the Epiphany, the Immaculate Conception, and Ascension Thursday, but not All Saints).

I'm about to post here Dom Guéranger's comments on the Second Sunday in Lent. More, specifically his comments on the Propers of the Second Sunday of Lent, is at Catholic Haven, Second Sunday of Lent.

[AAABEST]

Leave it to you to find this excellent site.

I put a link to it on the AQ links page.

It has been a while since I have been to a Tridetine Rite Mass, so if my question is ignorant, my apologies. There is only one reading before the homily at the Mass? I saw Thessalonians and the Gospel, but no OT, is that standard?

God Bless

[Mike Fieschko]

There is only one reading before the homily at the Mass? I saw Thessalonians and the Gospel, but no OT, is that standard?

Most times there are only two readings: from an Epistle and from the Gospel, for the particular Sunday.

There are exceptions, of course. Yesterday, for example, was Ember Saturday, and there were '[f]ive lessons, an epistle, a canticle, and the Gospel reading.' Last Wednesday and Friday (also Ember days), there were extra readings.

And there are more readings during Holy Week.

[Mike Fieschko]

p.s. Being a contrarian and frequently cranky, I call it the sermon,and not the homily. [The Homily on the Mount ... < rolls eyes>]

[StAthanasiustheGreat]

I'd prefer a sermon every now and then. I want some fire and brimestone. I have to come here for my red meat. :(

"May the sight of the grandeur of Jesus transfigured prepare us for the contemplation shortly of the humiliations of His Passion"

[St.Chuck]

Good site. thanks for sharing.

It's not an "ignorant" question at all.

It is customary (though not mandatory) to read the Epistle and Gospel in the vernacular. The interchangable OT parts are in Latin and largely adoration, prayers for mercy and thanksgiving from Psalms et al.

[StAthanasiustheGreat]

Ok, I'm just used to the Novus Ordo model of Old Testament, Psalm, NT, Gospel for the readings. The more scripture the better I think :) Now just need to work on the whole reverence thing.

[AAABEST]

the Novus Ordo model of Old Testament, Psalm, NT, Gospel for the readings. The more scripture the better I think.

That's the horizontal Protestant "service" or "Sunday school" model, one of the reasons why the NO was created.

The only reason why Protestants are showing up on Sundays to have someone preach at them is because they've carried on with a disfigured version of what used to be the Catholic Mass.

The Mass actually started out as processions to various areas to distribute the Eucharist to new catechumans and the faithful, before there were mechanisms put in place to offer daily and weekly Mass. The primary intention being a vertical communion with the Lord as opposed to any substantial religious instruction. Education was done through the catechism and other avenues.
