A lovely clear morning without the widespread...

Fogginess that had been of late spending the early mornings with us; I've only stepped out into the street-- have to go out on errands later on-- but it seems like it will be cooler today too. The Moon is still full, to my sight, anyway, although I couldn't find Jupiter, or, perhaps I did but it has become positioned such that it seems out of place and isn't 'recognisable enough even for a child', ahem. The first worldly thing I saw today as I went to schedule Martyrology entries at Tweetdeck for tomorrow (one tries to keep custody of the eyes and ignore such stuff until later on, after Prime) was some dreadful nonsense from one of the parasites at the Holy See to the effect that 'doing synod is making Vatican II a living reality now and going forward'. Such deceits are the wickedness of the devils, I have no doubt. 

It is the feast of Saint Francis Borgia in the Traditional Rite-- was celebrated the other day in the Pauline-- but I said Matins of the day before going on to Lauds from the Holy Confessor's Office. This was an error, really, but once I had a couple of Venite exsultemus Domino done I was too lazy or stubborn to begin again. Did read the lessons of the 2nd nocturn, and will those of Saint Jerome from the 3rd in a little while. Saint Francis's Mass is Os iusti. 





But I expect that the priest-- M. l'Abbé Grodziski-- can say a different Mass if he chooses to since the rank of the feast here may allow it-- I don't keep such things in my head so it's anybody's guess really. Well, it is a semiduplex throughout it's history until Ioannes XXIII's shenanigans made it into a IIIa classis feast so perhaps it is susceptible to being supplanted by votive Masses. Os iusti it is.

Introitus. Ps. 36, 30-31. Os justi meditábitur sapiéntiam, et lingua ejus loquétur judícium: lex Dei ejus in corde ipsíus. Ps. ibid., 1. Noli æmulári in malignántibus: neque zeláveris faciéntes iniquitátem. ℣. Glória Patri. 





Collecta. Dómine Jesu Christe, veræ humilitátis et exémplar et prǽmium: quǽsumus; ut, sicut beátum Francíscum in terréni honóris contémptu imitatórem tui gloriósum effecísti, ita nos ejúsdem imitatiónis et glóriæ tríbuas esse consórtes: Qui vivis.

Léctio libri Sapiéntiæ. Eccli. 31, 8-11. Beátus vir, qui invéntus est sine mácula, et qui post aurum non ábiit, nec sperávit in pecúnia et thesáuris. Quis est hic, et laudábimus eum? fecit enim mirabília in vita sua. Qui probátus est in illo, et perféctus est, erit illi glória ætérna: qui potuit tránsgredi, et non est transgréssus: fácere mala, et non fecit: ídeo stabilíta sunt bona illíus in Dómino, et eleemósynis illíus enarrábit omnis ecclésia sanctórum. 

Graduale. Ps. 91, 13 et 14. Justus ut palma florébit: sicut cedrus Líbani multiplicábitur in domo Dómini. ℣. Ibid., 3. Annuntiándum mane misericórdiam tuam, et veritátem tuam per noctem. 





Allelúja, allelúja. ℣. Jac. 1, 12. Beátus vir, qui suffert tentatiónem: quóniam, cum probátus fúerit, accípiet corónam vitæ. Allelúja.





✠ Sequéntia sancti Evangélii secúndum Lucam. Luc. 12, 35-40. In illo témpore: Dixit Jesus discípulis suis: Sint lumbi vestri præcíncti, et lucernæ ardéntes in mánibus vestris, et vos símiles homínibus exspectántibus dóminum suum, quando revertátur a núptiis: ut, cum vénerit et pulsáverit, conféstim apériant ei. Beáti servi illi, quos, cum vénerit dóminus, invénerit vigilántes: amen, dico vobis, quod præcínget se, et fáciet illos discúmbere, et tránsiens ministrábit illis. Et si vénerit in secúnda vigília, et si in tértia vigília vénerit, et ita invénerit, beáti sunt servi illi. Hoc autem scitóte, quóniam, si sciret paterfamílias, qua hora fur veníret, vigiláret útique, et non síneret pérfodi domum suam. Et vos estóte paráti, quia, qua hora non putátis, Fílius hóminis véniet. 

Offertorium. Ps. 88, 25. Véritas mea et misericórdia mea cum ipso: et in nómine meo exaltábitur cornu ejus. 





Secreta. Sacris altáribus, Dómine, hóstias superpósitas sanctus Francíscus, quǽsumus, in salútem nobis proveníre depóscat. Per Dóminum.

Communio. Matth. 24, 46-47. Beátus servus, quem, cum vénerit dóminus, invénerit vigilántem: amen, dico vobis, super ómnia bona sua constítuet eum. 






Postcommunio. Prótegat nos, Dómine, cum tui perceptióne sacraménti beátus Francíscus, pro nobis intercedéndo: ut et conversatiónis ejus experiámur insígnia, et intercessiónis percipiámus suffrágia. Per Dóminum.

It was 'a lovely clear morning' but now clouds of smoke have blown in and it reeks of that, tsk.
