In ipso vita erat, et vita erat lux hominum; et lux in tenebris lucet, et tenebræ eam non comprehende runt. Fuit homo missus a Deo, cui nomen erat Joannes. Hic venit in testimonium, ut testimonium perhiberet de lumine; ut omnes crederent per illum. Non erat ille lux; sed ut testimonium perhiberet de lumine. Erat lux vera, quæ illuminat omnem hominem venientem in hunc mundum. In mundo erat, et mundus per ipsum factus est, et mundus eum non cognovit. In propria venit, et sui eum non receperunt. Quotquot autem receperunt eum, dedit eis potestat em, filios Dei fieri; his Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by him, and without him was made nothing that was made. In him was life, and the life was the light of men; and the light shineth in darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it. There was a man sent from God, whose name was John. This man came for a witness, to give testimony of the light; that all might believe through him. He was not the light; but was to give testimony of the light. That was the true light which enlighteneth every man that cometh into this world. He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not. He came unto his own, and his own received him not. But as many as received him, to them he gave power to be made the qui credunt in nomine ejus; qui non ex sanguinibus, neque ex voluntate carnis neque ex voluntate viri, sed ex Deo nati sunt.

Deo gratias. sons of God; to them that believe in his name; who are born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God. And * THE WORD WAS MADE FLESH, and dwelt among us, and we saw his glory, as it were the glory of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth. R. thanks be to God. On Sundays, at High Mass, is added: P. Domine salvum fac Reginam nostram N. R. Et exaudi nos in die qua invocaverimus te. Gloria Patri, &c. P. O Lord, save N. our Queen. R. And hear us in the day when we shall call upon thee. Glory, &c. Let us pray. WE beseech thee, O almighty God, that thy servant N. our Queen, who through thy mercy hath undertaken the government of these realms, may also receive an increase of all virtues; wherewith being *Here all kneel. vitare, [hostes superare,*] et ad te, qui via, veritas, et vita es, cum prole regiâ, gratiosa valeat pervenire.

Through Christ, &c. Amen. Prayers after Mass. WE give thee thanks, Almighty and gracious Father, that thou hast permitted us this day to offer our homage to thy divine Majesty, and especially that thou hast allowed us to be present at the most holy sacrifice of the Body and Blood of thy beloved Son. If we have been wanting in attention and devotion, pardon us, we beseech thee. For the sake of him, whose sufferings and death we have commemorated, grant the petitions which we have made in his name, and send down upon us thy blessing, which may remain with us for ever. Through the same Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen. *In time of war. |
