Lectio 

Léctio Epístolæ beáti Pauli Apóstoli ad Gálatas.
Gal 4:22-31.

Fratres: Scriptum est: Quóniam Abraham duos fílios habuit: unum de ancílla, et unum de líbera. Sed qui de ancílla, secúndum carnem natus est: qui autem de líbera, per repromissiónem: quæ sunt per allegóriam dicta. Hæc enim sunt duo testaménta. Unum quidem in monte Sina, in servitútem génerans: quæ est Agar: Sina enim mons est in Arábia, qui conjúnctus est ei, quæ nunc est Jerúsalem, et servit cum fíliis suis. Illa autem, quæ sursum est Jerúsalem, líbera est, quæ est mater nostra. Scriptum est enim: Lætáre, stérilis, quæ non paris: erúmpe, et clama, quæ non párturis: quia multi fílii desértæ, magis quam ejus, quæ habet virum. Nos autem, fratres, secúndum Isaac promissiónis fílii sumus. Sed quómodo tunc is, qui secúndum carnem natus fúerat, persequebátur eum, qui secúndum spíritum: ita et nunc. Sed quid dicit Scriptura? Ejice ancillam et fílium ejus: non enim heres erit fílius ancíllæ cum fílio líberæ. Itaque, fratres, non sumus ancíllæ fílii, sed líberæ: qua libertáte Christus nos liberávit.

R. Deo gratias.

Lesson
Gal 4:22-31

Brethren: It is written that Abraham had two sons, the one by a slave-girl and the other by a free woman. And the son of the slave-girl was born according to the flesh, but the son of the free woman in virtue of the promise. This said by way of allegory. For these are the two covenants: one indeed from Mount Sinai bringing forth children unto bondage, which is Agar. For Sinai is a mountain in Arabia, which corresponds to the present Jerusalem, and is in slavery with her children. But that Jerusalem which is above is free, which is our mother. For it is written, Rejoice, O barren one, that do not bear; break forth and cry, you that do not travail; for many are the children of the desolate, more than of her that has a husband. Now we, brethren, are the children of the promise, as Isaac was. But as then he who was born according to the flesh, persecuted him who was born according to the spirit, so also it is now. But what does the Scripture say? Cast out the slave-girl and her son, for the son of the slave-girl shall not be heir with the son of the free woman.Therefore, brethren, we are not children of a slave-girl, but of the free woman - in virtue of the freedom wherewith Christ has made us free.

R. Thanks be to God.

Leitura da Epístola de S. Paulo Apóstolo aos Gálatas (4, 22 – 31). Irmãos: Está escrito que Abraão teve dois filhos: um da escrava e outra da (mulher) livre. Mas o da escrava, nasceu segundo a carne; e o da livre (nasceu) em virtude da promessa; estas coisas foram ditas por alegoria. Porque estas (duas mães) são os dois testamentos. Um do monte Sinai, que gera para a escravidão: este é (figurado em) Agar; porque o Sinai é um monte da Arábia, o qual corresponde à Jerusalém daqui debaixo (isto é, a Sinagoga), a qual é escrava com seus filhos. Mas aquela Jerusalém, que é de cima, (isto é, a Igreja de Jesus figurada em Sara) é livre, e é nossa mãe. Porque está escrito: Alegra-te, ó estéril, que não dás à luz; exulta e clama, tu que não estás de parto; porque são muitos mais os filhos da (que estava) abandonada (como estéril) que os daquela que tem marido. E nós, irmãos, somos filhos da promessa como Isaac. Mas, assim como então aquele que tinha nascido segundo a carne perseguia o que tinha nascido segundo o espírito, assim (acontece) também agora. Mas que diz a Escritura? Lança fora a escrava e o seu filho, porque o filho da escrava não será herdeiro com o filho da livre. Por isso, irmãos, não somos filhos da escrava, mas da livre; e é com esta liberdade que Cristo nos fez livres.

Graças a Deus!

Sequéntia ✠ sancti Evangélii secúndum Joánnem.
R. Gloria tibi, Domine!
Joann 6:1-15

In illo témpore: Abiit Jesus trans mare Galilaeæ, quod est Tiberíadis: et sequebátur eum multitúdo magna, quia vidébant signa, quæ faciébat super his, qui infírmabántur. Súbiit ergo in montem Jesus: et ibi sedébat cum discípulis suis. Erat autem próximum Pascha, dies festus Judæórum. Cum sublevásset ergo óculos Jesus et vidísset, quia multitúdo máxima venit ad eum, dixit ad Philíppum: Unde emémus panes, ut mandúcent hi? Hoc autem dicebat tentans eum: ipse enim sciébat, quid esset factúrus. Respóndit ei Philíppus: Ducentórum denariórum panes non suffíciunt eis, ut unusquísque módicum quid accípiat. Dicit ei unus ex discípulis ejus, Andréas, frater Simónis Petri: Est puer unus hic, qui habet quinque panes hordeáceos et duos pisces: sed hæc quid sunt inter tantos? Dixit ergo Jesus: Fácite hómines discúmbere. Erat autem fænum multum in loco. Discubuérunt ergo viri, número quasi quinque mília. Accépit ergo Jesus panes, et cum grátias egísset, distríbuit discumbéntibus: simíliter et ex píscibus, quantum volébant. Ut autem impléti sunt, dixit discípulis suis: Collígite quæ superavérunt fragménta, ne péreant. Collegérunt ergo, et implevérunt duódecim cóphinos fragmentórum ex quinque pánibus hordeáceis, quæ superfuérunt his, qui manducáverant. Illi ergo hómines cum vidíssent, quod Jesus fécerat signum, dicébant: Quia hic est vere Prophéta, qui ventúrus est in mundum. Jesus ergo cum cognovísset, quia ventúri essent, ut ráperent eum et fácerent eum regem, fugit íterum in montem ipse solus.

R. Laus tibi, Christe!

Continuation of the Holy Gospel according to John
R. Glory be to Thee, O Lord.
John 6:1-15

At that time, Jesus went away to the other side of the sea of Galilee, which is that of Tiberias. And there followed Him a great crowd, because they witnessed the signs He worked on those who were sick. Jesus therefore went up the mountain, and sat there with His disciples. Now the Passover, the feast of the Jews, was near. When, therefore, Jesus had lifted up His eyes and seen that a very great crowd had come to Him, He said to Philip, Whence shall we buy bread that these may eat? But He said this to try him, for He Himself knew what He would do. Philip answered Him, Two hundred denarii worth of bread is not enough for them, that each one may receive a little. One of His disciples, Andrew, the brother of Simon Peter, said to Him, There is a young boy here who has five barley loaves and two fishes; but what are these among so many? Jesus then said, Make the people recline. Now there was much grass in the place. The men therefore reclined, in number about five thousand. Jesus then took the loaves, and when He had given thanks, distributed them to those reclining; and likewise the fishes, as much as they wished. But when they were filled, He said to His disciples, Gather the fragments that are left over, lest they be wasted. They therefore gathered them up; and they filled twelve baskets with the fragments of the five barley loaves left over by those who had eaten. When the people, therefore, had seen the sign which Jesus had worked, they said, This is indeed the Prophet Who is to come into the world. So when Jesus perceived that they would come to take Him by force and make Him king He fled again to the mountain, Himself alone.

R. Praise be to Thee, O Christ.

Seqüência do +  S. Evangelho segundo S. João 6, 1 – 15.

 Naquele tempo: Passou Jesus à outra banda do mar da Galiléia, isto é, de Tiberíades; e seguia-o uma grande multidão, porque via os milagres que fazia em favor dos enfermos. Subiu, pois, Jesus a um monte; e sentou-se ali com seus discípulos. Ora a Páscoa, a festa dos Judeus, estava próxima. Jesus, pois, tendo levantado os olhos, e visto que vinha ter com Ele uma grande multidão, disse a Filipe: Onde compraremos nós pão para dar de comer a esta gente? Dizia, porém, isto para o experimentar, porque sabia o que havia de fazer. Respondeu-lhe Filipe: Duzentos dinheiros de pão não bastam para que cada um receba um pequeno bocado. Um de seus discípulos, (chamado) André, irmão de Simão Pedro, disse-Lhe: Está aqui um jovem, que tem cinco peixes; mas que é isto para tanta gente? Jesus, porém, disse: Fazei sentar essa gente. E havia naquele lugar muito feno. Sentaram-se, pois, em número de cerca de cinco mil (homens). Tomou, pois, Jesus os pães, e, tendo dado graças, distribui-os aos que estavam sentados; e igualmente dos peixes, quanto eles queriam. Estando saciados, disse a seus discípulos: Recolhei os pedaços que sobejaram, para que se não percam. E eles os recolheram, e encheram doze cestos de pedaços dos cinco pães de cevada, que sobejaram aos que tinham comido. Vendo então aqueles homens o milagre que Jesus fizera, diziam: Este é verdadeiramente o profeta que devia vir ao mundo. E Jesus, sabendo que o viriam arrebatar para o fazerem rei, retirou-se de novo ele só para o monte.

R: Louvor a Vós, Cristo!

THE ANNUNCIATION OF THE BLESSED VIRGIN MARY; WEDNESDAY OF PASSION WEEK.

DOUBLE, FIRST CLASS / WHITE 

Every year this feast recalls anew Mary's reply to God's angelic messenger: "Behold the handmaid of the Lord, be it done unto me according to thy word." Every work of the Creator is called to perfection, and perfection consists in obedience. The heavens and the earth inevitably announce the glory of God, but to human beings alone God granted a free will to serve Him. At the Annunciation, the obedience of Mary brought Christ down on earth to save fallen humanity. we, too, are called upon to co-operate with the Creator. The glory of God awaits our human word of obedient consent. 

INTROIT (Ps. 44:13, 15, 16)All the rich among the people shall seek your favor. Behind her the virgins shall be led to the king, her friends shall be brought to you with gladness and joy. 
Ps. 44:2. My heart overflows with good tidings; I sing my song to the king. 
V. Glory be . . .

COLLECT 
O God, by Your divine decree the Word was made flesh in the womb of the Blessed Virgin Mary at the announcement of the angel. May the prayers of the Virgin help us, for we believe that she is truly the Mother of God. Through the same Jesus Christ, our Lord . . . 


Commemoration of WEDNESDAY OF PASSION WEEK
O God, sanctify the Lenten fast and in Your mercy enlighten the hearts of Your faithful. Hear the prayers of those who, by Your grace, call upon You with devotion. Through Our Lord . . .

LESSON (Isa. 7:10-15)
In those days, the Lord spoke again to Achaz, saying: "Ask thee a sign of the Lord thy God, either unto the depth of hell, or unto the height above." And Achaz said: "I will not ask, and I will not tempt the Lord." And he said: "Hear ye therefore, O house of David: Is it a small thing for you to be grievous to men, that you are grievous to my God also? Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign. Behold a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son and his name shall be called Emmanuel. He shall eat butter and honey, that he may know to refuse the evil, and to choose the good." 

GRADUAL (Ps. 44:3, 5)
Grace is poured out on your lips; therefore God has blessed you forever and for all ages. V. For the sake of truth and meekness and justice, may your right hand lead you on wonderfully.

TRACT (Ps. 44:11, 12, 13, 10 15-16)
Hear, O daughter, and see; turn your ear, for the king greatly desires your beauty. V. All the rich among the people seek your favor, the daughters of the king wish to be held in honor by you. V. Behind her the virgins shall be led to the king; her friends shall be brought to you. V. They shall be brought in with gladness and joy, they shall be led into the temple of the king.

GOSPEL (Luke 1:26-38) 
At that time, the angel Gabriel was sent from God into a city of Galilee, called Nazareth, To a virgin espoused to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David: and the virgin's name was Mary. And the angel being come in, said unto her: "Hail, full of grace, the Lord is with thee: blessed art thou among women." Who having heard, was troubled at his saying and thought with herself what manner of salutation this should be. And the angel said to her: "Fear not, Mary, for thou hast found grace with God. Behold thou shalt conceive in thy womb and shalt bring forth a son: and thou shalt call his name Jesus. He shall be great and shall be called the Son of the Most High. And the Lord God shall give unto him the throne of David his father: and he shall reign in the house of Jacob for ever. And of his kingdom there shall be no end." 
And Mary said to the angel: "How shall this be done, because I know not man?" And the angel answering, said to her: "The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee and the power of the Most High shall overshadow thee. And therefore also the Holy which shall be born of thee shall be called the Son of God. And behold thy cousin Elizabeth, she also hath conceived a son in her old age: and this is the sixth month with her that is called barren. Because no word shall be impossible with God." And Mary said: "Behold the handmaid of the Lord: be it done to me according to thy word." 

OFFERTORY ANTIPHON (Luke 1:28, 42) 
Hail, Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee. Blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb. 

SECRET 
O Lord, fix deeply in our minds the mysteries of our true faith. We profess that Your Son who was conceived of a virgin is true God and true man. May His life-giving resurrection bring us the reward of eternal happiness. Through the same Jesus Christ, our Lord . . . 


Commemoration of WEDNESDAY OF PASSION WEEK
O merciful God, hear us, and grant that we may offer this sacrifice of praise and reparation with true devotion. Through Our Lord . . .

COMMUNION ANTIPHON (Isa. 7:14)
Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and shall bear a son, and his name shall be called Emmanuel. 

POSTCOMMUNION 
Pour forth Your grace into our hearts, O Lord, so that we who learned of the Incarnation of Your Son Christ through the message of an angel, may be brought to the glory of Jesus' resurrection by His passion and cross. Through the same Jesus Christ, our Lord . . .


Commemoration of WEDNESDAY OF PASSION WEEK
O Almighty God, we humbly beg the heavenly blessings of Your Sacrament which we have received. May it bring us Your grace and salvation. Through Our Lord . . .
