The Roman Missal: Proper of Saints, July (English) 9

1[July 12. St John Gualbert, Abbot.—Double.]
2[Mass,—Os justi, for Abbots, page XL. except—]
3[Commemoration of SS. Nabor and Felix, MM.]
4Prayer. Præsta quæsumus. Grant, we beseech thee, O Lord, that as the festival of thy holy martyrs, Nabor and Felix, returns for us to celebrate, it may always be accompanied by their intercession. Through our Lord, &c.
5Gospel. St Matthew v. 43—48. At that time, Jesus said to his disciples, You have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and hate thy enemy. But I say to you, Love your enemies, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them that persecute and calumniate you: that you may be the children of your Father who is in heaven, who maketh his sun to rise upon the good and bad, and raineth upon the just and the unjust. For if you love them that love you, what reward shall you have; do not even the publicans this? And if you salute your brethren only, what do you more? do not also the heathens this? Be you therefore perfect, as also your heavenly Father is perfect.
6[Of SS. Nabor and Felix.]
7Secret. May the offerings of thy people, we beseech thee, O Lord, be pleasing by the intercession of thy holy martyrs, Nabor and Felix; and may they be perfected by the merits of those, in honour of whose triumphs they are offered to thy name. Through our Lord, &c.
8Postcom. Natalitiis. We beseech thee, O Lord, on the festival of thy saints, that nourished by the sacramental gift, we may enjoy in eternity the good things with which, by thy grace, we are now refreshed. Through our Lord, &c.
