In illo témpore : Undecim discípuli abiérunt in Galilæam in montem, ubi constitúerat illis Jesus.  Et réliqua.

At that time : The eleven disciples went away into Galilee, into a mountain where Jesus had appointed them.  And so on, and that which followeth.

Post resurrectiónem Jesus in monte Galilææ conspícitur, ibíque adorátur ; licet quidam dúbitent, et dubitátio eórum nostram áugeat fidem.  Tunc maniféstius osténditur Thomæ, et latus láncea vulnerátum, et manus fixas demónstrat clavis.  Accédens Jesus locútus est eis, dicens : Data est mihi omnis potéstas in cælo et in terra.  Illi potéstas data est, qui paulo ante crucifíxus, qui sepúltus in túmulo, qui mórtuus jacúerat, qui póstea resurréxit.  In cælo autem et in terra potéstas data est : ut qui ante regnábat in cælo, per fidem credéntium regnet et in terris.

After his resurrection Jesus was seen on a mountain in Galilee, and there he was worshipped.  And, albeit some doubted, their doubts have led to a further establishing of our faith.  Then he shewed himself more openly unto Thomas, and pointed out the wound-print of the spear in his side, and the prints of the nails in his hands.  And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying : All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth.  Yea, all power is given unto him who but a little while before had been crucified, and buried in the grave, and had lain among the dead, but who also had risen again.  Power is given unto him in heaven and in earth, that he who of everlasting had been King of heaven, might have a monarchy on earth also, through the faith of them which believe in him.

V.  Tu autem, Dómine, miserére nobis.
R.  Deo grátias.

V.  But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.
R.  Thanks be to God.

R.  Surgens Jesus Dóminus noster, stans in médio discipulórum, suórum, dixit : * Pax vobis, allelúja : gavísi sunt discípuli viso Dómini, allelúja.
V.  Una ergo sabbatórum, cum fores essent clausæ, ubi erant discípuli congregáti, venit Jesus, et stetit in médio eórum, et dixit eis.
R.  Pax vobis, allelúja : gavísi sunt discípuli viso Dómini, allelúja.

R.  The Lord Jesus arose and stood in the midst of his disciples and said : *  Peace be unto you, alleluia : then were the disciples glad when they saw the Lord, alleluia.
V.  On the First Day of the week, therefore, when the doors were shut where the disciples were assembled, Jesus came and stood in the midst, and said unto them.

Benedíctio 2: Divínum auxílium máneat semper nobíscum.
R.  Amen.

Benediction 2: May help divine be with us all, for ever abiding.
R.  Amen.

Eúntes autem docéte omnes Gentes, baptizántes eos in nómine Patris, et Fílii, et Spíritus Sancti.  Primum docent omnes Gentes, deínde doctas intíngunt aqua.  Non enim potest fíeri, ut corpus baptísmi recípiat sacraméntum, nisi ante ánima fídei suscéperit veritátem.  Baptizántur autem in nómine Patris, et Fílii, et Spíritus Sancti : ut quorum una est divínitas, una sit largítio : noménque Trinitátis, unus Deus est.

Go ye, therefore, saith he, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost.  First they were to teach all nations ; then they were to wash with water such as had been taught.  For it cannot be that the body should receive the Sacrament of Baptism if the mind have not first received the truth of the Faith.  And they were to be baptized : In the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost : for, even as the Godhead of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost, is all One, so is the one grace of Baptism the gift of all three divine Persons ; and the Name of the Trinity is the Name of one God, not of three.

V.  Tu autem, Dómine, miserére nobis.
R.  Deo grátias.

V.  But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.
R.  Thanks be to God.

R.  Expurgáte vetus ferméntum, ut sitis nova conspérsio : étenim Pascha nostrum immolátus est Christus : * Itaque epulémur in Dómino, allelúja.
V.  Mórtuus est propter delícta nostra, et resurréxit propter justificatiónem nostram.
R.  Itaque epulémur in Dómino, allelúja.
V.  Glória Patri, et Fílio, et Spirítui Sancto.
R.  Itaque epulémur in Dómino, allelúja.

R.  Purge out therefore the old leaven, that ye may be as a new lump : for even Christ our Passover is sacrificed for us : * Therefore let us keep this Feast in the Lord, alleluia.
V.  He died for our offences, and was raised again for our justification.
R.  Therefore let us keep this Feast in the Lord, alleluia.
V.  Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost.
R.  Therefore let us keep this Feast in the Lord, alleluia.

Benedíctio 3: Ad societátem cívium supernórum perdúcat nos Rex Angelórum.
R.  Amen.

Benediction 3: May the King of Angels give us fellowship with all the citizens of heaven.
R.  Amen.

Docéntes eos serváre ómnia, quæcúmque mandávi vobis.  Ordo præcípuus : jussit Apóstolis, ut primum docérent univérsas Gentes, deínde fídei intíngerent sacraménto, et post fidem ac baptísma, quæ essent observánda præcíperent.  Ac ne putémus lévia esse, quæ jussa sunt, et pauca, áddidit : Omnia quæcúmque mandávi vobis : ut quicúmque credíderint, qui in Trinitáte fúerint baptizáti, ómnia fáciant, quæ præcépta sunt.  Et ecce ego vobíscum sum usque ad consummatiónem sæculi.  Qui usque ad consummatiónem sæculi cum discípulis se futúrum esse promíttit, et illos osténdit semper esse victúros, et se numquam a credéntibus recessúrum.

Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you.  The order of the Lord's commands to the Apostles is important.  First, to teach all nations ; secondly, to make them partake in the Sacrament of the Faith ; thirdly, when they had believed and been baptized, to teach them what to observe.  And lest we should think that he commanded things light and few, he hath said : All things whatsoever I have commanded you : so that all who have believed, and have therefore been baptized in the Name of the Trinity, are bound to observe all things whatsoever he hath commanded.  And lo, saith he, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world.  He who promiseth that he will be with his disciples, even unto the end of the world, doth give them thereby to know that they will live for ever, and that he will never fail any which believe in him.

V.  Tu autem, Dómine, miserére nobis.
R.  Deo grátias.

V.  But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.
R.  Thanks be to God.
