| INTROIT ¤ Ps. 138. 17 | ||||
| Mihi autem nimis honorati sunt amici tui, Deus: nimis confortatus est principatus eorum. -- Domine, probasti me et cognovisti me: tu cognovisti sessionem meam, et resurrectionem meam. V.: Gloria Patri et Filio et Spiritui Sancto. Sicut erat in principio et nunc et semper, et in saecula saeculorum. Amen. Mihi autem nimis honorati sunt amici tui, Deus: nimis confortatus est principatus eorum. | Thy friends, O God, are made exceedingly honorable; their power is become very great. -- (Ps. 138. 1, 2). Lord, Thou hast proved me and known me: Thou hast known my sitting down and my rising up. V.: Glory to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Ghost. As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen. Thy friends, O God, are made exceedingly honorable; their power is become very great. | |||
| COLLECT | ||||
| Maiestatem tuam, Domine, suppliciter exoramus: ut, sicut Ecclesiae tuae beatus Andreas Apostolus exstitit praedicator et rector, ita apud te sit pro nobis perpetuus intercessor. Per Dominum nostrum Iesum Christum, Filium tuum, qui tecum vivit et regnat in unitate Spiritus Sancti Deus, per omnia saecula saeculorum. | We humbly entreat Thy majesty, O Lord: that as the blessed Apostle Andrew was once a teacher and ruler of Thy Church: so he may be a constant advocate for us before Thee. Through our Lord Jesus Christ, Thy Son, who liveth and reigneth with Thee in the unity of the Holy Ghost, God, world without end. | |||

| EPISTLE ¤ Romans 10. 10-18 Lesson from the Epistle of Blessed Paul the Apostle to the Romans. Lectio Epistolae beati Pauli Apostoli ad Romanos. ["How beautiful are they that preach the Gospel of peace," the faith in Christ.] |
||||
| Fratres: Corde enim creditur ad iustitiam: ore autem confessio fit ad salutem. Dicit enim Scriptura: Omnis qui credit in illum, non confundetur. Non enim est distinctio Iudæi et Graeci: nam idem Dominus omnium, dives in omnes qui invocant illum. Omnis enim quicumque invocaverit nomen Domini, salvus erit. Quomodo ergo invocabunt, in quem non crediderunt? Aut quomodo credent ei, quem non audierunt? Quomodo autem audient sine praedicante? Quomodo vero praedicabunt nisi mittantur? sicut scriptum est: Quam speciosi pedes evangelizantium pacem, evangelizantium bona! Sed non omnes obediunt Evangelio. Isaias enim dicit: Domine, quis credidit auditui nostro? Ergo fides ex auditu, auditus autem per verbum Christi. Sed dico: Numquid non audierunt? Et quidem in omnem terram exivit sonus eorum, et in fines orbis terrae verba eorum. | Brethren: With the heart, we believe unto justice, but, with the mouth, confession is made unto salvation. For the Scripture saith: "Whosoever believeth in him, shall not be confounded." For there is no distinction of the Jew and the Greek, for the same is Lord over all, rich unto all that call upon Him. "For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord, shall be saved." How then shall they call on Him in whom they have not believed? Or how shall they believe Him of whom they have not heard? And how shall they hear, without a preacher? And how shall they preach unless they be sent? as it is written: "How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace, of them that bring glad tidings of good things!" But all have not obeyed the Gospel. For Isaias saith: "Lord, who hath believed our report?" Faith, then, cometh by hearing: and hearing by the word of Christ. But I say: Have they not heard? Yea, verily, "their sound hath gone into all the earth, and their words unto the ends of the whole world." | |||
| GRADUAL ¤ Ps. 44. 17, 18. | ||||
| Constitues eos principes
super omnem terram: memores erunt Nominis tui, Domine. V.: Pro patribus
tuis nati sunt tibi filii: propterea populi confitebuntur tibi. Alleluia, alleluia. V.: Dilexit Andream Dominus in odorem suavitatis. Alleluia. |
Thou
shalt make them princes over all the earth; they shall perpetuate the
glory of Thy Name, O Lord. V.: Instead of thy fathers, sons are born to
thee: therefore shall peoples praise thee. Alleluia, alleluia. V.: The Lord loved Andrew as an odor of sweetness. Alleluia. |

| In illo tempore: Ambulans Iesus iuxta mare Galilaeae, vidit duos fratres, Simonem, qui vocatur Petrus, et Andream fratrem eius, mittentes rete in mare (erant enim piscatores), et ait illis: Venite post me, et faciam vos fieri piscatores hominum. At illi continuo relictis retibus, secuti sunt eum. Et procedens inde, vidit alios duos fratres, Iacobum Zebedaei, et Ioannem fratrem eius, in navi cum Zebedaeo patre eorum, reficientes retia sua: et vocavit eos. Illi autem statim relictis retibus et patre, secuti sunt eum. | At that time: Jesus, walking by the sea of Galilee, saw two brethren, Simon, who is called Peter, and Andrew his brother, casting their nets into the sea (for they were fishers). And He saith to them: Come ye after Me, and I will make you to be fishers of men. And they immediately leaving their nets, followed him. And going on from thence, He saw other two brethren, James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother, in a ship with Zebedee their father, mending their nets: and He called them. And they forthwith left their nets and father, and followed Him. | |||

| PREFACE Preface of the Apostles |
||||
| Vere dignum et justum est, aequum et salutare, Te Domine suppliciter exorare, ut gregem tuum pator aeterne, non deseras: sed per beatos Apostolos tuos continua protectione custodias. Ut iisdem rectoribus gubernetur, quos operis tui vicarios eidem contulisti praeesse pastores. Et ideo cum Angelis et Archangelis, cum Thronis et Dominationibus, cumque omni militia caelestis exercitus, hymnum gloriae tuae canimus, sine fine dicentes: | It it truly meet and just, right and for our salvation, to entreat Thee humbly, O Lord, that Thou wouldst not desert Thy flock, O everlasting Shepherd, but, through Thy blessed Apostles, wouldst keep it under Thy constant protection; that it may be governed by those same rulers, whom as vicars of Thy work, Thou didst set over it to be its pastors. And therefore with Angels and Archangels, with Thrones and Dominations, and with all the hosts of the heavenly army, we sing the hymn of Thy glory, evermore saying: | |||

Through our Lord Jesus Christ, Thy Son, who liveth and reigneth with Thee in the unity of the Holy Ghost, God, world without end. | |||
