The Roman Missal: Proper of Saints, October (English) 1

The Masses of the saints' days for October 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: the Rosary, the Holy Guardian Angels, St Francis of Assisi, St Bruno, St Edward the Confessor of England with his Octave, St Teresa, St Luke, SS. Simon and Jude, the Venerable Bede, and the Vigil of All Saints. 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.

O God, whose only begotten Son, by his life, death, and resurrection, procured for us the rewards of eternal salvation; grant, we beseech thee, that, commemorating these mysteries in the most holy Rosary of the blessed Virgin Mary, we may imitate what they contain, and possess what they promise. Through the same Lord, &c.
