My LORD’s BibleThe Roman Missal: Proper of Saints, September (English) 1
The Masses of the saints' days for September in the English of the Rev. F. C. Husenbeth's Missal for the use of the Laity (London, 1853), in the form used from the Council of Trent until the liturgical reform of the 1950s: St Raymund Nonnatus, the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary and its Octave, the Holy Name of Mary, the Exaltation of the Holy Cross, the Seven Dolours, the Stigmata of St Francis, St Matthew, Our Lady of Mercy, the Dedication of St Michael and St Jerome. Many days give only the first words of a Mass in the Common of Saints, with the prayers proper to that saint. This is the English only; the Latin is to be added. The words in square brackets are the Missal's own headings and directions. A liturgy of the Catholic Church, not scripture.

Through our Lord, &c.
