The Roman Missal: Proper of Saints, July (English) 27

1[July 30. Saints Abdon and Sennen, Martyrs.]
2Introit. Ps. lxxviii. Let the sighing of the prisoners come in before thee, O Lord; render to our neighbours sevenfold in their bosom; revenge the blood of thy saints which hath been shed. Ps. O God, the heathens are come into thy inheritance; they have defiled thy holy temple; they have made Jerusalem as a place to keep fruit. Glory, &c.
3Prayer. Deus qui sanctis. O God, who didst confer upon thy saints Abdon and Sennen a copious gift of grace to arrive at their present glory, grant to thy servants the remission of their sins, that the merits of thy saints interceding for us, we may deserve to be delivered from all adversity. Through our Lord, &c.
4[Epistle. 2 Corinthians vi. 4—10. Brethren, let us exhibit ourselves as the ministers of God, as above, p. 129.]
5Gradual. God is glorious in his saints, wonderful in majesty, doing wonders.—Thy right hand, O Lord, is magnified in strength; thy right hand, O Lord, hath slain the enemy. Alleluia, alleluia.—The souls of the just are in the hand of God, and the torment of malice shall not touch them. Alleluia.
6[Gospel. St Matthew v. 1—12. At that time, Jesus seeing the multitudes, as on the 1st of November.]
7Offertory. God is wonderful in his saints: the God of Israel is he who will give power and strength to his people: blessed be God.
8Secret. We beseech thee, O Lord, that this sacrifice which we offer in commemoration of the festival of thy holy martyrs, may loosen the bonds of our wickedness, and procure for us the gifts of thy mercy. Through our Lord, &c.
9Communion. They have given the dead bodies of thy servants, O Lord, to be meat for the fowls of the air, the flesh of thy saints for the beasts of the earth: according to the greatness of thy arm take possession of the children of them that have been punished with death.
10Postcom. Per hujus. By the operation of this mystery, O Lord, may our vices be cleansed away; and by the intercession of thy holy martyrs, Abdon and Sennen, may our just desires be accomplished. Through our Lord, &c.
