| | Lesson | Lectio Ioélis Prophetae.
Haec dicit Dominus: Convertimini ad me in toto corde vestro, in jejunio, et in fletu, et in planctu. Et scindite corda vestra, et non vestimenta vestra, et convertimini ad Dominum Deum vestrum: quia benignus, et misericors est, patiens, et multae misericordiae, et praestablilis super malitia. Quis scit si convertatur, et ignoscat et relinquat post et Benedictionem, sacrificium, et libamen Domino Deo vestro? Canite tuba in Sion, sanctificate jejunium, vocate coetum, congregate populum sanctificate ecclesiam, codunate sense, congregate parvulus, et sugentes ubera: egrediatur sponsus de cubili suo, et sponsa de thalamo suo. Inter vestibulum et altare Domini, et dicent: Parce, Domine, parce populo tuo: et ne des hereditatem tuam in opprobrium, ut dominentur eis nations. Quare dicunt in populis. Ubi est Deus eoru. Zelatus est Dominus terram suam, et pepercit populo suo. Et respondit Dominus et dixit populo suo: Ecce ego mittam vobis Frumentum, et vinum et oleum, et replebimini eis: et non dabo vos ultra opprobrium in gentibus: dicit Dominus Omnipotens.
Hæc fuit epistula.
Deo Gratias. (Joel 2: 12-19)

Domine, ne memineris iniquitatem nostrorum antiquarum, cito anticipant nos misericordiae tuae:
quia paupers facti sumus nimis
RUBRIC: Here kneel
Adjuva nos, Deus salutaris noster:
et propter gloriam nominis tui, Domine, libera nos: et propititus esto peccatis nostris, propter nomen tuum. (Psalm 102: 10; Psalm 78. 8, 9)
| | Gospel | Dominus vobiscum.
Et cum spiritu tuo.
 Sequentia sancti Evangelii secundum Matthaeum.
Gloria tibi, Domine
In illo tempore: Dixit Jesus discipulis suis: ‘Cum jejunatis nolite fieri sicut hypocritae, tristes. Exterminant enim facies suas, ut appareant hominibus jejuantes. Amen dico vobis, quia receperunt mercedem suam. Tu autem, cum jejunas, unge caput tuum et faciem tuam lava, ne videaris hominibus jejunas, sed Patri tuo, qui est in abscondito: et Pater tuus, qui videt in abscondito, reddet tibi. Nolite thesaurizare vobis thesauros in terra: ubi aerugo, et tinea demolitur; et ubi fures effodiunt, et furantur. Thesaurizate autem vogis thesauros in caelo: ubi neque aerugo neque tinea demolitur: et ubi fures non effodiunt, nec furantur. Ubi enim est thesaurus tuus, ibi est et cor tuum.’

| | Second Prayer | O God, who desirest not the death of sinners, but rather their repentance, look down most graciously upon the frailty of human nature, and in Thy goodness vouchsafe to bless these ashes which we intend to put upon our heads in token of humility and that we may obtain pardon; that we who know that we are dust, and for the penalty of our guilt must return unto dust, may deserve to obtain of Thy mercy the pardon of all sins, and the rewards promised to penitents. Through Christ our Lord.
Amen. (Psalm 68: 17; Psalm 68: 2)
| | Third Prayer | O God, who are moved by humiliation, and appeased by satisfaction: incline the ear of Thy goodness to our prayers, and favorably pour forth upon the heads of Thy servants sprinkled with these ashes the grace of Thy blessing, that Thou mayest both fill them with the spirit of compunction, and effectually grant what they have justly prayed for: and ordain that what Thou hast granted may be permanently established and remain inviolate.

| | Lesson | Today’s lesson is from the Prophet Joel.
Thus saith the Lord: Be converted to Me with all your heart, in fasting and in weeping and in mourning. And rend your hearts and not your garments, and turn to the Lord your God: for He is gracious and merciful, patient and rich in mercy, and ready to repent of the evil. Who knoweth but He will return and forgive and leave a blessing behind Him, sacrifice and libation to the Lord your God? Blow the trumpet in Sion, sanctify a fast, call a solemn assembly, gather together the people, sanctify the Church, assemble the ancients, gather together the little ones and them that suck at the breasts: let the bridegroom go forth from his bed and the bride out of her bride chamber. Between the porch and the altar the priests, the Lord’s ministers, shall weep and shall say: Spare, O Lord, spare Thy people: and give not Thy inheritance to reproach, that the heathen should rule over them. Why should they say among the nations: Where is their God? the Lord hath been zealous for His land, and hath spared His people. And the Lord answered and said to His people: Behold I will send you corn and wine and oil, and you shall be filled with them: and I will no more make you a reproach among the nations; saith the Lord almighty.
Here ends today’s lesson.
Thanks be to God. (Joel 2: 12-19)

| | Gospel | The Lord be with you.
And with your spirit.
The continuation of the holy Gospel according to Matthew.
Glory to Thee, O Lord
At that time, Jesus said to His disciples: ‘When you fast, be not as the hypocrites, sad. for they disfigure their faces, that they may appear unto men to fast. Amen I say to you, they have received their reward. But thou, when thou fastest, anoint they head and wash thy face, that thou appear not to men to fast, but to thy Father who is in secret: and thy Father who seeth in secret will repay thee. Lay not up to yourselves treasures on earth: where the rust and moth consume, and where thieves break through and steal. But lay up to yourselves treasures in heaven: where neither the rust nor moth doth consume, and where thieves do not break through nor steal. For where thy treasure is, there is thy heart also.’
The Gospel of the Lord.
Praise be to Thee, O Christ. (Matthew 6: 16-21)

| Preface
(Lent) | It is truly meet and just, right and for our salvation that we should at all times, and in all places, give thanks unto Thee, O holy Lord, Father almighty, everlasting God: Who by this bodily fast, dost curb our vices, dost lift up our minds and bestow on us strength and re-wards; through Christ our Lord. Through whom the Angels praise Thy Majesty, the Do-minations worship it, the Powers stand in awe. the Heavens and the heavenly hosts together with the blessed Seraphim in triumphant chorus unite to celebrate it. Together with these we entreat Thee that Thou mayest bid our voices also to be admitted while we say with lowly praise... Holy, Holy, Holy...
| | Communio Verse | He that shall meditate day and night on the law of the Lord, shall bring forth his fruit in due season. (Psalm 1: 2,3)

Amen. (Psalm 1: 2,3)
| | Final Prayer Over the People | Bow down your heads before God. Look down, O Lord, in Thy mercy, upon those who bow before Thy majesty; that they who are refreshed by Thy divine gift may ever be sustained by heavenly aid. Through our Lord Jesus Christ, Who livest and reignest, with God the Father, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God forever and ever.
Amen. (Psalm 1: 2,3)

About the information (below)
This information applies to the Diocese of Texas. If you are outside the diocese, the details
you see here are fairly standard throughout the western church. However, your bishop's rules may vary.
Diversity it worderful. These rules point to diversity. Neither we nor your bishop is "right" or "correct" ot "better."
Note on candles
The listing calendar items shows how many additional candles. Here are the rules for the base set of candles.
| Use 2 | for priest celebrant, no incense |
| Use 4 | for priest celebrant, no incense |
| Use 6 | for any celebrant using incense |
| Add 1 | if the celebrant is the Ordinary |
Note on liturgical colors
Parishes and priests only need two colors: white and purple. White can substitute for every color, except purple.
| WHITE | Used at Christmas, Easter, and other joyful celebrations. May be used at funerals, ordinations. |
| RED | Days of the Holy Spirit, the Apostles, and memorials of martyrs. |
| ADVENT PURPLE | This is blueish purple. Use during advent. If you cannot afford both purple hues, use whichever you have. |
| LENT PURPLE | This is red-purple. You may use lent purple at funerals, but that tradition is basically dead (so to speak). |
| GREEN | Green is the "none of the above" color. If you don't have specific instructions on color, then the color is green. |
| ROSE | Use on Gaudete and Laetare Sundays |
| BLUE | Any Mass for/about the Blessed Virgin Mary |
| BLACK | Good Friday and Funerals. |
| GOLD | At a mammoth occasion (eg., ordination, Christmas, Easter, etc.), gold is fine. |
| SILVER | We don't use silver or any other color not mentioned. |
|
