In illo témpore : Dixit Jesus discípulis suis parábolam hanc : Homo quidam erat dives, qui habébat víllicum, et hic diffamátus est apud illum quasi dissipásset bona ipsíus.  Et réliqua.

At that time : Jesus spake this parable unto his disciples : There was a certain rich man which had a steward ; and the same was acccused unto him that he had wasted his goods.  And so on, and that which followeth.

Si dispensátor iníqui mammónæ, dómini voce laudátur, quod de re iníqua sibi justítiam præparárit ; et passus dispéndia dóminus laudat dispensatóris prudéntiam, quod advérsus dóminum quidem fraudulénter, sed pro se prudénter égerit : quanto magis Christus, qui nullum damnum sustinére potest, et pronus est ad cleméntiam, laudábit discípulus suos, si in eos qui creditúri sibi sunt, misericórdes fúerint?

The lord commended the unjust steward, because he had done wisely though wickedly.  The lord, although himself defrauded by it, could not but praise the shrewdness of his dishonest servant, because he had cheated him with profit to himself.  How much more will our Master Christ, who is above any defrauding by us, and is himself the great Forgiver of debts, praise us if we deal indulgently with those who are to 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.  Dómine, Pater et Deus vitæ meæ, ne derelínquas me in cogitátu malígno : extolléntiam oculórum meórum ne déderis mihi, et desidérium malígnum avérte a me, Dómine ; aufer a me concupiscéntiam, * Et ánimo irreverénti et infruníto ne tradas me, Dómine.
V.  Ne derelínquas me, Dómine, ne accréscant ignorántiæ meæ, nec multiplicéntur delícta mea.
R.  Et ánimo irreverénti et infruníto ne tradas me, Dómine.

R.  O Lord, Father and God of my life, leave me not to evil counsels ; give me not a proud look, but turn from me an haughty mind, O Lord.  Turn away from me concupiscence, * And give me not over unto an impudent and froward mind, O Lord.
V.  Leave me not, O Lord, lest mine ignorances increase, and my sins abound.
R.  And give me not over unto an impudent and froward mind, O Lord.

V.  Jube domne, (Dómine) benedícere.

V.  Vouchsafe, Reverend Father (O Lord), thy blessing.

Benedíctio 8: Divínum auxílium máneat semper nobíscum.
R.  Amen.

Benediction 8: May help divine be with us all, for ever abiding.
R.  Amen.

Dénique post parábolam íntulit : Et ego vobis dico, Fácite vobis amícos de iníquo mammóna.  Mammóna autem non Hebræórum, sed Syrórum lingua divítiæ nuncupántur, quod de iniquitáte colléctæ sint.  Si ergo iníquitas bene dispensáta vértitur in justítiam ; quanto magis sermo divínus, in quo nulla est iníquitas, qui et Apóstolis créditus est, si bene fúerit dispensátus, dispensatóres suos levábit in cælum?

After he had spoken this parable the Lord saith : Make to yourselves friends of the mammon of unrighteousness.  This word : Mammon : is not Hebrew but Syriac, and is to be interpreted in the sense of our phrase : Filthy lucre.  If then filthy lucre (as we call it) can be so used by them that have it as to bring about the profit of righteousness, shew much more can they who, like the Apostles, have stewardship of the mysteries of God (which are true and clean riches) profit themselves, even everlastingly, by their right use of such things?

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

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

R.  Duo Séraphim clamábant alter ad álterum : * Sanctus, sanctus, sanctus Dóminus Deus Sábaoth : * Plena est omnis terra glória ejus.
V.  Tres sunt qui testimónium dant in cælo : Pater, Verbum, et Spíritus Sanctus : et hi tres unum sunt.
R.  Sanctus, sanctus, sanctus Dóminus Deus Sábaoth.
V.  Glória Patri, et Fílio, et Spirítui Sancto.
R.  Plena est omnis terra glória ejus.

R.  The two Seraphim did cry the One to the Other : * Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God of Hosts : * The whole earth is full of his glory.
V.  For there are Three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost : and these Three are One.
R.  Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God of Hosts.
V.  Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost.
R.  The whole earth is full of his glory.

V.  Jube domne, (Dómine) benedícere.

V.  Vouchsafe, Reverend Father (O Lord), thy blessing.

Benedíctio 9: Ad societátem cívium supernórum perdúcat nos Rex Angelórum.
R.  Amen.

Benediction 9: May the King of Angels give us fellowship with all the citizens of heaven.
R.  Amen.

Quam ob rem séquitur : Qui fidélis est in mínimo, hoc est, in carnálibus ; et in multis fidélis erit, hoc est, in spirituálibus.  Qui autem in parvo iníquus est, ut non det frátribus ad uténdum, quod a Deo pro ómnibus est creátum ; iste et in spirituáli pecúnia dividénda iníquus erit, ut non pro necessitáte, sed pro persónis doctrínam Dómini dívidat.  Si autem, inquit, carnáles divítia, quæ labúntur, non bene dispensátis ; veras æternásque divítias doctrínæ Dei quis credet vobis?

Hence it followeth, as the Lord saith : He that is faithful in that which is least, (that is, in matters pertaining to the body,) is faithful also in much, (that is, in spiritual things,) and he that is unjust in the least, (that is, by not sharing with his needy brother those things which God hath created for the use of all,) is unjust also in much, (that is, he will deal out spiritual things unfairly, not according to need but with respect of persons.)  Thus it is as though the Lord saith : If ye have not been faithful in the use of earthly riches which pass away, who will commit to your charge the true and everlasting riches  of the Word of God?

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

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

Ad Magnif. Ant:  Quid fáciam, * quia dóminus meus aufert a me villicatiónem?  Fódere non váleo, mendicáre erubésco.  Scio quid fáciam, ut, cum amótus fúero a villicatióne, recípiant me in domos suas.

Ant. on Magnif:  What shall I do? * For my lord taketh away from me the stewardship.  I cannot dig ; to beg, I am ashamed.  I am resolved what to do, that, when I am put out of the stewardship, they may receive me into their houses, alleluia.
