15th Sunday after Pentecost - Meditation & Propers
Our Lord Jesus has snatched us from eternal death, as He once snatched the young man of Naim from natural death, and in doing this He shows the compassion which He feels for our mother the Catholic Church lamenting over sinners, just as He was moved by pity for the poor widow lamenting over her son.
Introit: Ps. 85. 1, 2, 3
Bow down Thine ear, O Lord, to me and hear me: save Thy servant, O my God, that trusteth in Thee: have mercy on me, O Lord, for I have cried to Thee all day. - (Ps. 85. 4). Give joy to the soul of Thy servant; for to Thee, O Lord, I have lifted up my soul. V. Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost. Bow down Thine ear, O Lord, to me and hear me: save Thy servant, O my God, that trusteth in Thee: have mercy on me, O Lord, for I have cried to Thee all day.
Collect:
Let Thy continual pity, O Lord, cleanse and defend Thy Church: and because it cannot continue in safety without Thee, may it ever be governed by Thy goodness. Through our Lord Jesus Christ, Thy Son, who liveth and reigneth , with God the Father, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, God, world without end. Amen.
Gradual: Ps. 91. 2, 3
It is good to give praise to the Lord; and to sing to Thy name, O most High. V. To show forth Thy mercy in the morning, and Thy truth in the night. Alleluia, alleluia. V. (Ps. 114. 3) For the Lord is a great God, and a great King over all the earth. Alleluia.
Offertory: 39. 2, 3, 4
With expectation I have waited for the Lord, and He had regard to me; and He heard my prayer, and He put a new canticle into my mouth, a song to our God.
Secret:
May Thy Sacraments, O Lord, safeguard us, and ever defend us against the assaults of the devil. Through our Lord Jesus Christ, Thy Son, who liveth and reigneth, with God the Father, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, God, world without end. Amen.
Communion: John 6. 52
The bread that I will give is My Flesh for the life of the world.
Postcommunion:
May the efficacy of the heavenly gift, we beseech Thee, O Lord, possess our minds and bodies: so that its effects, and not our own impulses, may ever prevail in us. Through our Lord Jesus Christ, Thy Son, Who livest and reignest, with God the Father, in the unity of the Holy Ghost livest and reignest forever.
My Daily Thought from the Following of Christ:
Study to be patient in bearing the defects of other, and their infirmities, be they what they may: for thou hast many things, which others must bear withal. If thou canst not make thyself what thou wouldst be, how canst thou expect to have another so exactly to thy mind? We would fain see others perfect, and yet our own faults we amend not.
Recessional Hymn
Remember, holy Mary, 'Twas never heard or known, That anyone who sought thee And made to thee his moan, That anyone who hastened For shelter to thy care, Was ever yet abandoned And left to his despair. And so to thee, my Mother, With filial faith I call, For Jesus dying gave thee As Mother to us all. To thee, O Queen of virgins, O Mother meek, to thee I run with trustful fondness, Like child to mother's knee.
