From all perils of soul and body defend us, O Lord, we beseech thee, and by the intercession of blessed and gloriosus ever Virgin Mary, Mother of God, of blessed Joseph, of thy blessed apostles Peter and Paul, and of blessed N. and all the Saints, graciously grant us safety and peace that all adversities and errors being overcome, thy Church may serve thee in security and freedom.
From the Holy Gospel according to Matthew
Matt 9:1-8At that time: Jesus entered into a ship, and passed over, and came into His own city. And so on.
Homily by St. Peter Chrysologus, Archbishop of Ravenna.
Sermon 50
This day's reading hath shown us an instance of how Christ, in those things which He did as Man, worked deep works of God, and by things which were seen wrought things which were not seen. The Evangelist saith Jesus “entered into a ship, and passed over, and came into His Own city.” Was not This He Who had once parted the waves hither and thither, and made the dry ground appear at the bottom of the sea, so that His people Israel passed dry-shod between masses of water standing still, as through an hollow glen in a mountain? Was not This He Who made the depths of the sea solid under the feet of Peter, so that the watery path offered a firm way for human footsteps?
Ps 95:8-9
Bring gifts and enter His courts; worship the Lord in His holy court.
P. The Lord be with you.
S. And with thy spirit.
Let us pray.
Strengthened by Your sacred gift, we thank You, O Lord, beseeching Your mercy to make us receive it worthily.
Through Jesus Christ, thy Son our Lord, Who liveth and reigneth with thee, in the unity of the Holy Ghost, God, world without end.
℟. Amen.
Commemoration Sts. Cosmas and Damian, Martyrs
May the participation granted in Your heavenly banquet and the united prayers of the saints, we beseech You, O Lord, protect Your people.
Let us pray.
Of the Saints
May the offering of this divine Sacrament cleanse and protect us, O Lord we beseech thee, and by the intercession of the Blessed Virgin Mary, Mother of God, of blessed Joseph, of thy blessed Apostles Peter and Paul, and of blessed N. and all the Saints, may it purify us from all sin, and free us from all adversity.
