| | Lesson for the First Mass of the Day | Léctio Epístolæ beáti Pauli Apóstoli ad Corinthos Prima.
Fratres: Ecce mystérium vobis dico: Omnes quidem resurgémus, sed non omnes immutébimur, in moménto, in ictu óculi, in novíssima tuba, et mórtui resúrgent incorrúpti: et nos immutábimur. Oppórtet enim corruptíbile hoc indúere incorruptiónem: et mortále hoc indúere immortalitátem. Cum autem mortále hoc indúerit immortalitátem tunc fiet sermo, qui scriptus est: Absórpta est mors in victória tua. Ubi est, mors, victória tua? Ubi est, mors, stímulus tuus? Stímulus autem mortis peccátum est: virtus vero peccáti lex. Deo autem grátias, qui dedit nobis victóriam per Dóminum nostrum Jesum Christum.
Hæc fuit epistula.
Deo Gratias. (I Corinthians 15: 51-57)
| | Lesson for the Second Mass of the Day | Léctio libri Machabæórum.
In diébus illis: Vir fortíssimus Judas, facta coilatióne, duódecim. míllia drachmas argénti misit Jerosólymam offérri pro peccátis mortuórum sacrifícium, bene et religióse de resurrectióne cógitans: (nisi enim eos, qui cecíderant, resurrectúros speráret, supérfluum viderétur et vanum oráre pro mórtuis) et quia considerábat quod hi, qui cum pietáte dormitiónem accéperant, óptjmam habérent repósitam grátiam. Sancta ergo, et salúbris est cogitátio pro defúnctis exoráre, ut a peccátis solvéntur.
Hæc fuit epistula.
Deo Gratias. (II Machabees 12: 43-48)
| | Lesson for the Third Mass of the Day | Léctio libri Apocalypsis beáti Joánnis Apóstoli.
In diébus illis: Audivi vocem de coelo, dicéntem mihi: Scribe: Beáti mórtui, qui in Dómino moriúntur. Amodo jam licit Spíritus, ut requiéscant a labóribus suis: ópera enim illórum sequúntur illos.
Hæc fuit epistula.
Deo Gratias. (Apocalypse 14: 13)
| | Gradual | Réquiem ætérnam dona eis Dómine:
Et lux perpétua luceat eis.
In memória ætérna erit justus:
Ab auditióne mala non timébit. (IV Esdras 2: 34-35; Psalm 64: 2, 3)
| | Tract | Absólve, Dómine, ánimas ómnium fidélium defunctórum ab omni vínculo delictórum.
Et grátia tua illis succurénte, mereántur evádere judícium ultiónis. Et lucis ætérnæ beatitúdine pérfrui. (IV Esdras 2: 34-35; Psalm 64: 2, 3)
| | Sequence | Dies iræ, dies illa,
Solvet sæclum in favilla,
Teste David cum Sybilla.
Quantus tremor est futúrus,
Quando Judex est ventúrus.
Cuncta stricte discussúrus!
Tuba, mirum spargems sonum,
Per sepúlcra regiónum.
Coget omnes ante thronum,
Mors stupébit et natúra,
Cum resúrget creatúra,
Judicánti responsúra.
Liber scriptus proferétur.
in quo totum continétur,
Unde mundus judicétur.
Judex ergo cum sedébit,
Quidquid latet, apparébit:
Nil inúltum remanébit.
Quid sum miser tunc dictúrus?
Quem patrónum rogatúrus,
Cum vix justus sit secúrus?
Rex treméndæ majestátis,
Qui salvándos salvas gratis,
Salva me, fons pietátis,
Recordáre, Jesu pie,
Quod sum causa tuæ viæ:
Ne me perdas illa die.
Quærens me, sedísti lassus:
Redemísti, crucem passus:
Tantus labor non sit cassus
Juste Judex ultiónis,
Donum fac remissiónis
Ante diem ratiónis.
Ingemísco, tamquam reus;
Culpa rubet vultus meus:
Supplicánti parce, Deus.
Qui Maríam absolivísti,
Et latrónem exaudísti,
Mihi quoque spem dedísti.
Preces meæ non sunt dignæ:
Sed tu bonus fac benígne
Ne perénni cremer igne.
Inter oves locum præsta,
Et ab hædis me sequéstra,
Státuens in parte dextra.
Confutátis maledíctis,
Flammis ácribus addíctis:
Voca me cum benedíctis.
Oro supplex et acclínis,
Cor contrítum quasi cinis,
Gere curam mei finis.
Lacrymósa dies illa.
Qui resúrget ex favíilla
Judicándus homo reus:
Huic ergo parce, Deus:
Pie Jesu Dómine, Dona eis réquiem. Amen. (Dies iræ)

In illo tempore: Dixit Jesus turbis Judæórum: “Amen, amen dico vobis, quia venit hora, et nunc est, quando mórtui áudient vocem Fílii Dei: et qui audíerint, vivent. Sicut enim Pater habet vitam in semetípso: sic dedit et Fílio vitam habére in semetípso: et potestátem dedit et ei judícium fácere, quia Fílius hóminis est. Nolíte mirári, hoc, quia venit hora, in qua omnes, grave qui in monuméntis sunt, áudient vocem Fílii Dei: et procédent qui bona fecérunt, in resurrectiónem vitæ: qui vero mala egérunt, in resurrectiónem judícií.”

Hæac est autem volúntas ejus, qui misit Me, Patris: ut omne, quod dedit Mihi non perdam ex eo, sed resúscitem illud in novíssimo die.

In illo tempore: Dixit Jesus turbis Judæórum: “Ego sum panis vivus, qui de coelo descéndi. Si quis manducáverit ex hoc pane, vivet in ætérnum: et panis, quem ego dabo, caro mea est pro mundi vita.” Litigábant ergo Judæi ad ínvincem, dicéntes: Quómodo potest hic nobis carnem suam dare ad manducándum? Dixit ergo eis Jesus: “Amen, amen dico vobis: Nisi manducavéritis carnem Fílii hóminis, et bibéritis ejus sánguinem, non habébitis vitam in vobis. Qui mandúcat meam carnem, et bibit meum sánguinem, habet vitam ætérnam: et ego resuscitábo eum in novíssimo die.”

ENGLISH| Introit | ANTIPHON Eternal rest give to them, O Lord; and let perpetual light shine them.
A hymn O God, becometh Thee in Sion; and a vow shall be paid to Thee in Jerusalem:
O Lord, hear my prayer; all flesh she!l come to Thee.
ANTIPHON (repeat) Eternal rest give to them, O Lord; and let perpetual light shine them. (IV Esdras 2: 34-35; Psalm 64: 2, 3)
| | Collect at the First Mass of the Day | O God, the Creator and Redeemer of all the faithful: grant unto the souls of Thy servants and handmaidens the remission of all their sins: that through devout supplications, they may obtain the pardon which they have desired. Who liveth and reigneth with Thee in the unity of the Holy Spirit, God, forever and ever.
Amen. (IV Esdras 2: 34-35; Psalm 64: 2, 3)
| | Collect at the Second Mass of the Day | O God, the Lord of mercies, grant to the souls of Thy servants and handmaids, the anniversary of whose burial we commemorate, an abode of refreshment, the beatitude of rest, and the brightness of light. Through our Lord Jesus Christ, Thy Son, Who liveth and reigneth with Thee in the unity of the Holy Spirit, God, forever and ever.
Amen. (IV Esdras 2: 34-35; Psalm 64: 2, 3)
| | Collect at the Third Mass of the Day | O God, the bestower of pardon and lover of man’s salvation, we beseech Thy clemency, through . the intercession blessed Mary ever a virgin, and all Thy saints, that the brethren, who have passed out of this world may together enjoy everlasting happiness.

| | Lesson for the First Mass of the Day | Today’s lesson is from the First Epistle of blessed Paul the Apostle to the Corinthians.
Brethren, we shall indeed rise again, but we shall not all be changed. In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet; for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall rise again, incorruptible and we shall be changed. for this corruptible, must put on incorruption and this mortal must put on immortality. And when this mortal hath put on immortality then shall come to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory. O death, where is thy victory? O death, where is thy sting? Now the sting of death is sin: and the strength of sin is the law. But Thanks be to God, who hath given us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.
Here ends today’s lesson.
Thanks be to God. (I Corinthians 15: 51-57)
| | Lesson for the Second Mass of the Day | Today’s lesson is from the Second Book of Machabees.
In those days, the most valiant man Judas, making a gathering, sent twelve thousand drachmas of silver to Jerusalem for sacrifice to be offered for the sins of the dead, thinking well and religiously concerning the resurrection (for if he had not hoped that they that were slain should rise again, it would have seemed superfluous and vain to pray for the dead); and because he considered that they who had fallen asleep with godliness, had great grace laid up for them. It is therefore a holy and wholesome thought to pray for the dead, that they may be loosed from sins.
Here ends today’s lesson.
Thanks be to God. (II Machabees 12: 43-48)
| | Lesson for the Third Mass of the Day | Today’s lesson is from the Book of the Apocalypse of Blessed John the Apostle.
In those days I heard a voice from Heaven, saying to me, Write, blessed are the dead, who die in the Lord. From henceforth now, saith the Spirit, that they may rest from their labors, for their works follow them.
Here ends today’s lesson.
Thanks be to God. (Apocalypse 14: 13)
| | Gradual | Eternal rest give unto them, O Lord:
And let perpetual light shine upon them.
The just shall be in everlasting remembrance:
He shall not fear the evil hearing. (IV Esdras 2: 34-35; Psalm 64: 2, 3)
| | Tract | Absolve, O Lord, the souls of all the faithful departed from every bond of sins.
And by the help of Thy grace may they be enabled to escape the avenging judgment. And enjoy the bliss of everlasting light. (IV Esdras 2: 34-35; Psalm 64: 2, 3)
| | Sequence | Day of wrath and doom impending,
David’s word with Sibyl’s blending,
Heaven and earth in ashes ending.
O what fear man’s bosom rendeth,
When from Heaven the Judge descendeth,
On whose sentence all dependeth.
Wondrous sound the trumpet flingeth,
Through earth’s sepulchres it ringeth,
All before the throne it bringeth.
Death is struck, and nature quaking,
All creation is awaking,
To its Judge an answer making.
Lo, the book exactly worded.
Wherein all hath been recorded,
Thence shall judgment be awarded.
When the Judge His seat attaineth,
And each hidden deed arraigneth,
Nothing unavenged remaineth.
What shall I, frail man, be pleading?
Who for me be interceding
When the just are mercy needing?
King of majesty tremendous,
Who dost free salvation send us,
Fount of pity, then befriend us.
Think, kind Jesus, my salvation
Caused Thy wondrous Incarnation.
Leave me not to reprobation.
Faint and weary Thou hast sought me,
On the Cross of suffering bought me,
Shall such grace be vainly brought me?
Righteous Judge, for sin’s pollution
Grant Thy gift of absolution,
Ere that day of retribution.
Guilty now I pour my moaning,
All my shame with anguish owning,
Spare, O God, Thy suppliant groaning.
Through the sinful woman shriven,
Through the dying thief forgiven,
Thou to me a hope hast given.
Worthless are my prayers and sighing,
Yet, good Lord, in grace complying,
Rescue me from fires undying.
With Thy sheep a place provide me,
From the goats afar divide me,
To Thy right hand do Thou guide me.
When the wicked are confounded,
Doomed to flames of woe unbounded,
Call me with Thy Saints surrounded.
Low I kneel with heart’s submission,
See, like ashes, my contrition,
Help me in my last condition.
Ah! That day of tears and mourning,
From the dust of earth returning,
Man for judgment must prepare him,
Spare, O God, in mercy spare him.
Lord, all-pitying, Jesus blest,
Grant them Thine eternal rest. Amen. (Dies iræ)

And with your spirit.
The continuation of the holy Gospel according to John.
Glory to Thee, O Lord.
At that time, Jesus said to the multitude of the Jews: “Amen, amen, I say unto you, that the hour cometh, and now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God; and they that hear shall live. for as the Father hath life in Himself, so He hath given to the Son also to have life in Himself; and He hath given Him power to do judgment, because He is the Son of Man. Wonder not at this, for the hour cometh wherein all that are in the shall hear the voice of the Son of God; and they that have done good things shall come forth unto the resurrection of life, but they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of judgment.”
The Gospel of the Lord.
Praise be to Thee, O Christ. (John 5: 25-29)

Glory to Thee, O Lord.
At that time, Jesus said to the multitude of the Jews: “All that the Father giveth Me shall come to Me; and him that cometh to Me I will not cast out: because I came down from Heaven, not to do My own will, but the will of Him Who sent Me. Now this is the will of the Father Who sent Me, that of all that He hath given Me, I should lose nothing, but should raise it up again in the last day; and this is the will of My Father that sent Me, that every one who seeth the Son, and believeth in Him, may have life everlasting; and I will raise him up in the last day.”

Glory to Thee, O Lord
At that time, Jesus said to the multitudes of the Jews: “At that time, I am the living bread, which came down from Heaven. If any man eat of this bread he shall live forever: and the bread that I will give is My flesh for the life of the world.” the Jews therefore strove among themselves, saying, How can this man give us His flesh to eat? Then Jesus said to them, “Amen, amen, I say unto you, Except you eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink His blood, you shall not have life in you. He that eateth My flesh, and drinketh My blood, hath everlasting life and I will raise him up in the last day.”
The Gospel of the Lord.
Praise be to Thee, O Christ. (John 6: 51-55)
| | Offertory | O Lord Jesus Christ, King of glory, deliver the souls of all the faithful departed from the pains of hell and from the deep pit; deliver them from the lion’s mouth, that hell engulf them not, nor they fall into darkness, but let Michael, the holy standard-bearer, bring them into the holy light which Thou once didst promise to Abraham and his seed. We offer Thee, O Lord, sacrifices and prayers of praise; do Thou accept them for those souls whom we this day commemorate; grant them, O Lord, to pass from death to the life which Thou once didst promise to Abraham and his seed.

Through our Lord Jesus Christ Thy Son our Lord, Who liveth and reigneth with Thee in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God forever and ever.
Amen. (Dies iræ)

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. |
