The Roman Missal: Proper of Saints, August (English) 10

1[August 10. St Laurence, Martyr.—Double of the Second Class with an Octave.]
2Introit. Ps. xcv. Praise and beauty are before him: holiness and majesty in his sanctuary. Ps. Sing ye to the Lord a new canticle; sing to the Lord all the earth. Glory, &c.
3Prayer. Da nobis. Grant us, we beseech thee, Almighty God, to extinguish the flames of our vices; who didst grant to blessed Laurence to overcome the fire of his torments. Through our Lord, &c.
4Epistle. 2 Corinthians ix. 6—10. Brethren, He who soweth sparingly, shall also reap sparingly: and he who soweth in blessings, shall also reap of blessings. Every one as he hath determined in his heart; not with sadness, or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver. And God is able to make all grace abound in you; that ye, always having all sufficiency in all things, may abound to every good work: as it is written, He hath dispersed abroad, he hath given to the poor: his justice remaineth for ever. And he that ministereth seed to the sower, will both give you bread to eat, and will multiply your seed, and increase the growth of the fruits of your justice.
5Gradual. Thou hast proved my heart, O Lord, and visited it by night.—Thou hast tried me by fire, and iniquity hath not been found in me. Alleluia, alleluia.—The levite Laurence wrought a good work, who gave sight to the blind by the sign of the cross. Alleluia.
6[Gospel. St John xii. 24—26. Amen, amen, I say to you, unless the grain of wheat, as page 535.]
7Offertory. Praise and beauty are before him: holiness and majesty are in his sanctuary.
8Secret. Graciously accept the offerings made to thee, O Lord, we beseech thee; and the merits of blessed Laurence, thy martyr, pleading for us, grant them to become a help to our salvation. Through, &c.
9Communion. If any man minister to me, let him follow me: and where I am, there also shall my minister be.
10Postcom. Sacro munere. Replenished with thy sacred gifts, we suppliantly beseech thee, O Lord, that what we celebrate with due service, by the intercession of blessed Laurence, thy martyr, we may perceive to contribute towards our salvation. Through our Lord, &c.
