Fifth Sunday After Epiphany
05 February A.D. 2006

"Nothing is so consoling, so piercing, so thrilling, so overcoming, as the Mass, said as it is among us. I could attend Mass forever, and not be tired. It is not a mere form of words; it is a great action. The greatest action that can be on earth. It is. . .the evocation of the Eternal."

-- John Henry Cardinal Newman

EPISTLE ¤ Colossians 3. 12-17
"All whatsoever you do in word or work, do all in the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ, giving thanks to God and the Father by Jesus Christ our Lord,"
-- Blessed Saint Paul to the Colossians and to the Church.

Lectio Epistolae beati Pauli Apostoli ad Colossénses. FRATRES: Indúite vos sicut elécti Dei, sancti, et dilécti, víscera misericórdiæ, benignitátem, humilitátem, modéstiam, patiéntiam: supportántes ínvicem, et donántes vobismetípsis si quis advérsus áliquem habet querélam: sicut et Dóminus do návit vobis, ita et vos. Super ómnia autem hæc, caritátem habéte, quod est vínculum perfectiónis et pax Christi exsúltet in córdibus vestris, in qua et vocáti estis in uno córpore: et grati estóte. Verbum Christi hábitet in vobis abundánter, in omni sapiéntia docéntes, et commonéntes vosmetípsos, psalmis, hymnis, et cánticis spirituálibus, in grátia cantántes in córdibus vestris Deo. Omne quodcúmque fácitis in verbo aut in ópere, ómnia in nómine Dómini Jesu Christi, grátias agéntes Deo et Patri per Jesum Christum.

Lesson from the Epistle of Blessed Paul the Apostle to the Colossians. BRETHREN, put ye on, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, the bowels of mercy, benignity, humility, modesty, patience; bearing with one another, and forgiving one another, if any have a complaint against another, even as the Lord hath forgiven you, so you also. But above all these things, have charity, which is the bond of perfection: and let the peace of Christ rejoice in your hearts, wherein also you are called in one body: and be ye thankful. Let the word of Christ dwell in you abundantly, in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another, in psalms, hymns, and spiritual canticles, singing in grace in your hearts to God. All whatsoever you do in word or in work, all things do ye in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, giving thanks to God and the Father through Jesus Christ our Lord.

GRADUAL ¤ Psalm 101. 16, 17

TTHE GENTILES shall fear Thy name, O Lord, and all the kings of the earth Thy glory.V. For the Lord hath built up Sion, and He shall be seen in His majesty.

GOSPEL ¤ Blessed Apostle Matthew 13. 24-30
The evil sower is the devil and he sows the dark cockle, which is a violent poison. The servants of the goodman of the house represent the Angels; they wished to separate the good from the bad. But it is impossible to separate them until the time of harvest, i.e. the time of the last judgement; then will Divine Justice make the necessary separation.

† Sequéntia sancti Evangélii secúndum Joánnem. IN ILLO tempore: Dixit Jesus turbis parábolam hanc: Símile factum est regnum cælórum hómini, qui seminávit bonum semen in agro suo. Cum autem dormírent hómines, venit inimícus ejus, et superseminávit zizánia, in médio trítici, et ábiit. Cum autem crevísset herba, et fructum fecísset, tunc apparuérunt et zizánia. Accedéntes autem servi patrisfamílias, dixérunt ei: Dómine, nonne bonum semen seminásti in agro tuo? Unde ergo habet zizánia? Et ait illis: Inimícus homo hoc fecit. Servi autem dixérunt ei: Vis, imus, et collígimus ea? Et ait: Non: ne forte colligéntes zizánia, eradicétis simul cum eis et tríticum. Sínite útraque créscere usque ad messem et in témpore messis dicam messóribus: Collígite primum zizánia, et alligáte ea in fascículos ad comburéndum, tríticum autem congregáte in horreum meum.

† Continuation of the Holy Gospel according to Blessed Apostle Matthew. AT THAT time, Jesus spoke this parable to the multitudes: The kingdom of heaven is likened to a man that sowed good seed in his field. But while men were asleep, his enemy came, and oversowed cockle among the wheat, and went his way. And when the blade was sprung up, and had brought forth fruit, then appeared also the cockle. And the servants of the good man of the house coming, said to him, Sir, didst thou not sow good seed in thy field? whence then hath it cockle? And he said to them, An enemy hath done this. And the servants said to him, Wilt thou that we go and gather it up? And he said, No: lest perhaps gathering up the cockle you root up the wheat also together with it. Suffer both to grow until the harvest; and in the time of the harvest, I will say to the reapers, Gather up first the cockle, and bind it into bundles to burn, but the wheat gather ye into my barn.

OFFERTORY ¤ Psalm 117. 16, 17

DÉXTERA Dómini fecit virtútem, déxtera Dómini exaltávit me: non móriar, sed vivam, et narrábo ópera Dómini.

THE RIGHT hand of the Lord hath wrought strength, the right hand of the Lord hath exalted me: I shall not die, but live, and shall declare the works of the Lord.

SECRET

HOSTIAS tibi, Dómine, placatiónis offérimus: ut et delicta nostra miserátus absólvas, et mutántia corda tu dírigas. Per Dóminum nostrum Jesum Christum fílium tuum, qui tecum vivit et regnat in unitate Spíritus Sancti, Deus, per ómnia sæcula sæculórum. Amen.

WE OFFER Thee, O Lord, the sacrifice of confession/reconciliation, that Thou mayest mercifully forgive our sins and direct our wavering hearts. Through Our Lord Jesus Christ, Thy Son, Who liveth and reigneth with Thee in the unity of the Holy Ghost, God, world without end. Amen.

PREFACE OF THE MOST HOLY TRINITY

VERE DIGNUM et justum est, aequum et salutare, nos tibi semper, et ubique gratias agere: Domine sancte, Pater omnipotens, aeterne Deus: Qui cum unigenito Filio tuo, et Spiritu Sancto, unus es Deus, unus es Dominus: non in unius singularitate personae, sed in unius Trinitate substantiae. Quod enim de tua gloria, revelante te, credimus, hoc de Filio tuo, hoc de Spiritu Sancto, sine differentia discretionis sentimus. Ut in confessione verae sempiternaeque Deitatis, et in personis proprietas, et in essentia unitas, et in majestate adoretur aequalitas. Quam laudant Angeli atque Archangeli, Cherubim quoque ac Seraphim: qui non cessant clamare quotidie, una voce dicentes: Sanctus, Sanctus, Sanctus...

IT IS TRULY meet and just, right and available to salvation, that we should always, and in all places, give thanks to Thee, O holy Lord, Father almighty, eternal God. Who with Thine only-begotten Son and the Holy Ghost art one God, one Lord: not in the unity of a single person, but in the trinity of a single nature. For that which we believe of Thy Son, that same of the Holy Ghost, without difference or discrimination. So that in confessing the true and everlasting Godhead, we shall adore distinction in persons, oneness in being, and equality in majesty. This the angels and archangels, the cherubim, too, and the seraphim do praise; day by day they cease not to cry out, saying as with one voice: Holy, Holy, Holy...

COMMUNION ¤ Blessed Apostle Saint Luke 4. 22

MIRABÁNTUR omnes de his, quæ procedébant de ore Dei.

THEY ALL wondered at these things, which proceeded from the mouth of God.

POSTCOMMUNION

QUÆSUMUS, omnípotens Deus: ut illíus salutáris capiámus efféctum, cujus per hæc mystéria pignus accépimus. Per Dóminum nostrum Jesum Christum fílium tuum, qui tecum vivit et regnat in unitate Spíritus Sancti, Deus, per ómnia sæcula sæculórum. Amen.

WE PRAY Thee, O almighty God, that we may receive the effect of that salvation of which we have received the pledge in these mysteries. Through Our Lord Jesus Christ, Thy Son, Who liveth and reigneth with Thee in the unity of the Holy Ghost, God, world without end. Amen.

Saint Martyrs of Egypt
There were many martyrs who suffered in the persecutions of Diocletian in the Thebaid region c. 303. Though we know these innumerable atrocities occured, we do not know the names of the saints. For this reason we are required to honor them as a group.

Saint Paula

Saint Simeon Stylites

Saint Syncletica

Saint Talida of Antinoë

Pope Saint Telesphorus
Pope Saint Telesphorus was a Greek, probably from Calabria, who was pope from c. 125-c. 136. Saint Telesphorus was the seventh Roman bishop in succession from the Apostles, and, according to the testimony of Saint Irenæus (Adv. hæreses, III, iii, 3), suffered a glorious martyrdom.

Pope Saint Telesphorus was a Greek who had been an anchorite. He ruled the Church in the time of Emperor Antoninus Pius. To Pope Saint Telesphorus are attributed some church practices which endure down to this day. According to the "Liber Pontificalis" Pope Saint Telesphorus ordered a fast for seven weeks before Easter. That the Lenten fast goes back even before the time of Telesphorus, Saint Irenaeus gives testimony. But the length of the fast varied considerably in those early days. It is probable enough that Pope Saint Telesphorus did make some regulation as to the length of the Lenten fast.

A custom much loved even today is also attributed to Pope Saint Telesphorus. He is said to have ordered that although Mass was not celebrated before the hour of tierce (i.e., 9 to 12 o'clock in the morning) at Christmas time Mass should be celebrated at night. This is the first mention of the beloved midnight Mass. However, scholars doubt whether this decree actually does go back to the time of Pope Saint Telesphorus.

Pope Saint Telesphorus is said also to have decreed that the Gloria in excelsis should be sung at the Christmas Mass and only at the Christmas Mass. This magnificent hymn of praise is not said at all Masses even today. As late as the eleventh century, though the Pope could say it oftener, priests were not allowed to say it except at Easter.

Pope Saint Telesphorus was buried near St. Peter in the Vatican. His feast is kept on January 5 in the Roman liturgy and February 22 in the Greek.

Even though I read these in my St. Andrew's Missal each Sunday, your presentation makes the Propers all the more meaningful. Thank you Robert.

[StAthanasiustheGreat]

Very happy to discover that Sacred Heart Cathedral in Fairbanks has a Latin Mass. Looking at your picture, that is how Mass is meant to be. If only they would grant a universal indult for the TLM and fix the NO to incorporate more Latin, more incense, and more.

[Robert Drobot]

Your thoughtful sentiments are very much appreciated, Jack. May you and yours always walk with His blessing and protection.

[Robert Drobot]

All glory to our Lord and Savior;
In the presence the many;
During every Holy Mass.
Amen.
