In diébus iliis: Significávit Deus quæ opórtet fíeri cito, mittens per Angelum suum servo suo Joánni, qui testimónium perhíbuit verbo Dei, et testimónium Jesu Christi, quæcúmque vidit. Beátus qui legit, et audit verba prophetíæ hujus: et servat ea, quæ in ea scripta sunt: tempus enim prope est. Joánnes septem ecclésiis, quæ sunt in Asia.

Cross Sequentia sancti Evangelii secundum Matthaeum
ResponseGloria CrossCrossCross tibi, Domine
In illo témpore: Accessérunt discípuli ad Jesum, dicéntes: Quis, putas, major est in regno coelórum? Et ádvocans Jesus párvulum, státuit eum in médio eórum, et dixit: “Amen, dico vobis, nisi convérsi fuéritis, et efficiámini sicut párvuli, non intrábitis in regnum coelórum. Quicúmque ergo humiliáverit se sicut párvulus iste, hic est major in regno cælórum. Et qui suscéperit unum párvulum talem in nómine meo, me súscipit. Qui autem scandalizáverit unum de pusíllis istis, qui in me credunt, expedit eì, ut suspendátur mola asinária in collo ejus, et demergátur in profúndum maris. Væ mundo a scándalis. Necésse est enim ut véniant scándala: verúmtamen væ hómini illi, per quem scándalum venit. Si autem manus tua, vel pes tuus scandalízat te, abscíde eum, et prójice abs te: bonum tibi est ad vitam ingredi débilem, vel claudum, quam duas manus, vel duos pedes habéntem mitti in ignem ætérnum. Et si óculos tuus scandalízat te, érue eum, et prójice abs te: bonum tibi est cum uno óculo in vitam intráre, quam duos óculos habéntem mitti in gehénnam ignis. Vidéte ne contemnátis unum ex his pusíllis: dico enim vobis, quia Angeli eórum in coelis semper vident fáciem Patris mei, qui in coelis est.
Evangélium Dómini.
ResponseLaus Tibi, Christe. (Matthew 18: 1-10)
OffertoryStetit Angelus juxta aram templi, habens thuríbulum áureum in manu sua, et data sunt ei incénsa multa: et ascéndit fumus arómatum in conspéctu Dei, allelúja. (Apocalypse 8: 3-4)
SecretHóstias tibi, Dómine, laudis offérimus, supplíciter deprecántes: ut eásdem, angélico pro nobis interveniénte suffrágio, et placátus accípias, et ad salútem nostram provenire concédas. Per Dóminum nostrum Jesum Christum Fílium Tuum, qui Tecum vivit et regnat in unitáte Spíritus Sancti, Deus, per omnia s?cula sæculórum.
ResponseAmen. (Apocalypse 8: 3-4)
Preface
(Saints)
Vere dignum et justum est, aequum et salutare, nos tibi semper et ubique gratias agere, Domine sancte, Pater omnipotens, aeterne Deus: quia cum Unigenitus tuus in substantia nostrae mortalitatis apparuit, nova nos immortalitatis suae luce reparavit. Et ideo cum Angelis et Archangelis, cum Thronis et Dominationibus, cumque omni militia caelestis exercitus, hymnum gloriae tuae canimus, sine fine dicentes... sanctus, sanctus

ENGLISH

IntroitANTIPHON Bless the Lord, all ye His angels: you that are mighty in strength, and execute His word, harkening to the voice of His orders.
VersicleBless the Lord, O my soul:
ResponseAnd let all that is within me bless His holy name.
VersicleGlory be to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit:
ResponseAs it was in the beginning, is now and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.
ANTIPHON (repeat) Bless the Lord, all ye His angels: you that are mighty in strength, and execute His word, harkening to the voice of His orders. (Psalm 102: 20; Psalm 102: 1)
CollectO God, Who dost in wonderful order dispose the ministries of angels and men, mercifully grant that our lives be fortified by those who continually stand in Thy presence and minister before Thee in heaven. Through the same Jesus Christ, Thy Son, Who liveth and reigneth with Thee in the unity of the Holy Spirit, God, forever and ever.
ResponseAmen. (Psalm 102: 20; Psalm 102: 1)
LessonToday’s lesson is from the Book of the Apocalypse of Blessed John the Apostle.
In those days: God signified the things which must shortly come to pass, sending by His angel to His servant John, who hath given testimony to the word of God, and the testimony of Jesus Christ, what things soever he hath seen. Blessed is he that readeth and heareth the words of this prophecy, and keepeth those things which are written in it; for the time is at hand. John to the seven churches which are in Asia: Grace be unto you and peace from Him that is, and that was, and that is to come; and from the seven spirits which are before His throne; and from Jesus Christ, Who is the faithful witness, the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth Who hath loved us, and washed us from our sins in His own blood.
Here ends today’s lesson.
ResponseThanks be to God. (Apocalypse 1: 1-15)
GradualVersicleBless the Lord all ye His angels:
Responseyou that are mighty in strength, that do His will.
VersicleO my soul, bless thou the Lord: and all that is within me praise His holy name.
ResponseAlleluia, alleluia.
VersicleHoly archangel Michael, defend us in battle, that we perish not in the dreadful judgment.
ResponseAlleluia.
VersicleThe sea was shaken, and the earth trembled, when the archangel Michael descended from Heaven.
ResponseAlleluia. (Psalm 102: 20, 1)
GospelThe Lord be with you.
ResponseAnd with your spirit.
Cross The continuation of the holy Gospel according to Matthew.
ResponseGlory CrossCrossCross to Thee, O Lord
At that time the disciples came to Jesus, saying, Who, thinkest Thou, is the greater in the kingdom of Heaven? And Jesus calling unto Him a little child, set him in the midst of them, and said, “Amen, I say to you, unless you be converted, and become as little children, you shall not enter into the kingdom of Heaven. Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child he is the greater in the kingdom of Heaven: and he that shall receive one such little child in My name, receiveth Me; but he that shall scandalize one of these little ones that believe in Me, it were better for him that a millstone should be hanged about his neck, and that he should be drowned in the depth of the sea. Woe to the world because of scandals: for it must needs be that scandals come; but nevertheless woe to that man by whom the scandal cometh. And if thy hand, or thy foot, scandalize thee, cut it off, and cast it from thee. It is better for thee to go into life maimed or lame, than having two hands or two feet, to be cast into everlasting fire. And if thy eye scandalize thee, pluck it out, and cast it from thee. It is better for thee having one eye to enter into life, than having two eyes to be cast into hell fire. See that you despise not one of these little ones; for I say to you, that their angels in Heaven always see the face of My Father Who is in Heaven.”
The Gospel of the Lord.
ResponsePraise be to Thee, O Christ. (Matthew 18: 1-10)
OffertoryAn angel stood near the altar of the temple, having a golden censer in his hand: and there was given to him much incense: and the smoke of the perfumes ascended before God, alleluia. (Apocalypse 8: 3-4)
SecretWe offer Thee sacrifices of praise, O Lord, humbly praying that Thou be pleased to receive them, through the angelic intercession in our behalf, and grant that they may avail for, our salvation. Through our Lord Jesus Christ, Thy Son, Who liveth and reigneth with Thee in the unity of the Holy Spirit, God, forever and ever.
ResponseAmen. (Apocalypse 8: 3-4)
Preface
(Saints)
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: through Christ our Lord. Through Whom the Angels praise Thy Majesty, the Dominations 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 them we entreat Thee, that Thou mayest bid our voices also to be admitted, while we say in lowly praise... Holy, Holy, Holy...
Communio VerseAll ye angels of the Lord, bless the Lord: sing a hymn, and exalt Him above all forever, alleluia. (Daniel 3: 58)
Post-Communion PrayerRelying upon the intercession of blessed Michael, Thine archangel, O Lord, we Thy suppliants pray that what we perform with our lips we may attain with our hearts. 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.
ResponseAmen. (Daniel 3: 58)

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 2for priest celebrant, no incense
Use 4for priest celebrant, no incense
Use 6for 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.

WHITEUsed at Christmas, Easter, and other joyful celebrations. May be used at funerals, ordinations.
REDDays of the Holy Spirit, the Apostles, and memorials of martyrs.
ADVENT PURPLEThis is blueish purple. Use during advent. If you cannot afford both purple hues, use whichever you have.
LENT PURPLEThis is red-purple. You may use lent purple at funerals, but that tradition is basically dead (so to speak).
GREENGreen is the "none of the above" color. If you don't have specific instructions on color, then the color is green.
ROSEUse on Gaudete and Laetare Sundays
BLUEAny Mass for/about the Blessed Virgin Mary
BLACKGood Friday and Funerals.
GOLDAt a mammoth occasion (eg., ordination, Christmas, Easter, etc.), gold is fine.
SILVERWe don't use silver or any other color not mentioned.
