1[January 27. St John Chrysostom, Bishop, Confessor, and Doctor of the Church.—Double.]
2Introit. Ecclus. xv. In the midst of the church the Lord opened his mouth: and filled him with the spirit of wisdom and understanding; he clothed him with a robe of glory. Ps. It is good to give praise to the Lord: and to sing to thy name, O Most High. Glory, &c.
3Prayer. Ecclesiam tuam. We beseech thee, O Lord, that heavenly grace may increase thy Church, which thou wert pleased to illustrate by the glorious merits and doctrines of blessed John thy confessor and bishop. Through our Lord, &c.
4[Epistle.—I charge thee before God, as in the common of Holy Doctors, page xxxii.]
5Gradual. Behold a great priest, who in his days pleased God.—There was not any found like to him, who kept the law of the Most High. Alleluia, alleluia.—Blessed is the man that endureth temptation: for, when he hath been proved, he shall receive the crown of life. Alleluia.
6[After Septuagesima, instead of the Alleluia and Verse, the following is said:]
7Tract. Blessed is the man that feareth the Lord: he delights exceedingly in his commandments.—His seed shall be mighty upon earth: the generation of the righteous shall be blessed.—Glory and wealth shall be in his house: and his justice remaineth for ever and ever.
8[Gospel.—You are the salt of the earth, as in the Common of Doctors, page xxxiv. Credo.]
9Offertory. The just shall flourish like the palm-tree: he shall grow up like the cedar which is in Libanus.
10Secret. May the pious prayer of thy holy bishop, John, not be wanting to us, O Lord; which may render our offerings acceptable, and ever obtain for us thy forgiveness. Through our Lord, &c.
11Communion. A faithful and wise steward, whom the Lord set over his family; to give them their measure of wheat in due season.
12Postcom. Ut nobis. May blessed John, thy bishop and illustrious doctor, approach to intercede for us, O Lord, that thy sacrifice may give us salvation. Through our Lord, &c.
