COLLECT OF THE PRECEDING SUNDAY

Oremus.
Deus, qui omnipoténtiam tuam parcéndo máxime et miserándo maniféstas : multíplica super nos misericórdiam tuam ; ut ad tua promíssa curréntes, cæléstium bonórum fácias esse consórtes.  Per Dóminum.

Let us pray.
O God, who declarest thine Almighty power most chiefly in shewing mercy and pity, mercifully grant unto us such a measure of thy grace, that we, running the way of thy commandments, may obtain thy gracious promises, and be made partakers of thy heavenly treasure.  Through.

De libro quarto Regum

The Lesson is taken from
the fourth Book of Kings

Anno séptimo Jehu regnávit Joas et quadragínta annis regnávit in Jerúsalem.  Nomen matris ejus Sébia de Bersabée.  Fecítque Joas rectum coram Dómino cunctis diébus quibus dócuit eum Jójada sacérdos ; verúmtamen excélsa non ábstulit ; adhuc enim pópulus immolábat et adolébat in excélsis incénsum.

In the seventh year of Jehu Jehoash began to reign; and forty years reigned he in Jerusalem. And his mother's name was Zibiah of Beersheba.  And Jehoash did that which was right in the sight of the Lord all his days wherein Jehoiada the priest instructed him.  But the high places were not taken away: the people still sacrificed and burnt incense in the high places.

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, si convérsus fúerit pópulus tuus, et oráverit ad sanctuárium tuum : * Tu exáudies de cælo, Dómine, et líbera eos de mánibus inimicórum suórum.
V.  Si peccáverit in te pópulus tuus, et convérsus égerit pœniténtiam, veniénsque oráverit in isto loco.
R.  Tu exáudies de cælo, Dómine, et líbera eos de mánibus inimicórum suórum.

R.  Lord, when thy people shall turn again to thee, and shall pray unto thee in this house, *  Then hear thou in heaven, O Lord, and deliver them out of the hand of their enemies.
V.  If thy people sin against thee, and turn again, and repent, and come and pray unto thee in this house.
R.  Then hear thou in heaven, O Lord, and deliver them out of the hand of their enemies.

Dixítque Joas ad sacerdótes : Omnem pecúniam sanctórum, quæ illáta fúerit in templum Dómini a prætereúntibus, quæ offértur pro prétio ánimæ, et quam sponte et arbítrio cordis sui ínferunt in templum Dómini, accípiant illam sacerdótes juxta ordinem suum et instáurent sartatécta domus, si quid necessárium víderint instauratióne.

And Jehoash said to the priests, All the money of the dedicated things that is brought into the house of the Lord, even the money of every one that passeth the account, the money that every man is set at, and all the money that cometh into any man's heart to bring into the house of the Lord, let the priests take it to them, every man of his acquaintance: and let them repair the breaches of the house, wheresoever any breach shall be found.

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

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

R.  Factum est, dum tólleret Dóminus Elíam per túrbinem in cælum, * Eliséus clamábat, dicens : Pater mi, pater mi, currus Israël, et auríga ejus.
V.  Cumque pérgerent, et incedéntes sermocinaréntur, ecce currus ígneus et equi ígnei divisérunt utrúmque, et ascéndit Elías per túrbinem in cælum.
R.  Eliséus clamábat, dicens : Pater mi, pater mi, currus Israël, et auríga ejus.

R.  And it came to pass when the Lord would take up Elijah into heaven by a whirlwind ;   *  Elisha cried, and said : My father, my father, the chariot of Israel, and the horsemen thereof.
V.  And as they still went on, and talked, behold, there appeared a chariot of fire, and horses of fire, and parted them both asunder, and Elijah went up by a whirlwind into heaven.
R.  Elisha cried, and said : My father, my father, the chariot of Israel, and the horsemen thereof.

In Feastdays of Simple rank :

V.  Glória Patri, et Fílio, et Spirítui Sancto.
R.  Eliséus clamábat, dicens : Pater mi, pater mi, currus Israël, et auríga ejus.

V.  Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost.
R.  Elisha cried, and said : My father, my father, the chariot of Israel, and the horsemen thereof.

And on such Feastdays of Simple rank, the Third Lesson is read according to the Proper.

Proper Third Lesson

Igitur usque ad vigésimum tértium annum regis Joas non instauravérunt sacerdótes sartatécta templi.  Vocavítque rex Joas Jójadam pontíficem et sacerdótes dicens eis : Quare sartatécta non instaurátis templi?  Nolíte ergo ámplius accípere pecúniam juxta órdinem vestrum ; sed ad instauratiónem templi réddite eam.  Prohibitíque sunt sacerdótes ultra accípere pecúniam a pópulo et instauráre sartatécta domus.

But it was so, that in the three and twentieth year of king Jehoash the priests had not repaired the breaches of the house.  Then king Jehoash called for Jehoiada the priest, and the other priests, and said unto them, Why repair ye not the breaches of the house? now therefore receive no more money of your acquaintance, but deliver it for the breaches of the house.  And the priests consented to receive no more money of the people, neither to repair the breaches of the house.

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

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

R.  Ego te tuli de domo patris tui, dicit Dóminus, et pósui te páscere gregem pópuli mei : * Et fui tecum in ómnibus ubicúmque ambulásti, firmans regnum tuum in ætérnum.
V.  Fecíque tibi nomen grande, juxta nomen magnórum, qui sunt in terra : et réquiem dedi tibi ab ómnibus inimícis tuis.
R.  Et fui tecum in ómnibus ubicúmque ambulásti, firmans regnum tuum in ætérnum.
V.  Glória Patri, et Fílio, et Spirítui Sancto.
R.  Et fui tecum in ómnibus ubicúmque ambulásti, firmans regnum tuum in ætérnum.

R.  I took thee from thy father's house to be Ruler over my people Israel, * And I was with thee whithersoever thou wentest, to establish the Throne of thy Kingdom forever.
V.  And I have made thee a great Name, above the name of great men that are in the earth, and have caused thee to rest from all thine enemies.
R.  And I was with thee whithersoever thou wentest, to establish the Throne of thy Kingdom forever.
V.  Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost.
R.  And I was with thee whithersoever thou wentest, to establish the Throne of thy Kingdom forever.
