The Roman Missal: Supplement, Masses Authorized for England (English) 22

1[October 23. Feast of our most Holy Redeemer Jesus.—Greater Double.]

2Introit. I will greatly rejoice in the Lord, and my soul shall be joyful in my God, for he hath clothed me with the garments of salvation: and with the robe of justice he hath covered me. Ps. The mercies of the Lord I will sing for ever: to generation and generation. Glory, &c.

3Prayer. Deus qui unigenitum. O God, who didst appoint thy only-begotten Son, the Redeemer of the world, and didst mercifully restore us to life through him who conquered death: grant, that commemorating these benefits, we may deserve to adhere to thee by perpetual charity, and to receive the fruit of the same redemption. Through the same Lord, &c.

4Epistle. Ephes. i. 3—9. Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ. As he chose us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and unspotted in his sight in charity. Who hath predestinated us unto the adoption of children, through Jesus Christ unto himself; according to the purpose of his will: unto the praise of the glory of his grace, in which he hath graced us in his beloved son. In whom we have redemption through his blood, the remission of sins, according to the riches of his grace, which hath superabounded in us in all wisdom and prudence, that he might make known unto us the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure, which he hath purposed in him.

5Gradual. All the nations thou hast made shall come and adore before thee, O Lord, and they shall glorify thy name. For thou art great, and dost wonderful things: thou art God alone. Alleluia, alleluia. But God is our King before ages; he hath wrought salvation in the midst of the earth. Alleluia.

6Gospel. St. John iii. 13—18. At that time Jesus said to Nicodemus, No man hath ascended into heaven, but he that descended from heaven, the son of man who is in heaven. And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the desert, so must the son of man be lifted up: that whosoever believeth in

7him may not perish, but may have life everlasting. For God so loved the world, as to give his only-begotten son: that whosoever believeth in him, may not perish, but may have life everlasting. For God sent not his son into the world to judge the world, but that the world may be saved by him. He that believeth in him is not judged. But he that doth not believe, is already judged: because he believeth not in the name of the only-begotten Son of God. Credo.

8Offertory. I am the salvation of the people, saith the Lord: from whatever tribulation they shall cry to me I will hear them, and I will be their God for ever, alleluia.

9Secret. Accept, we beseech thee O Lord, the mystery of eternal redemption offered to thee, and grant that the glorious merits of thy only-begotten Son interceding for us, it may ever animate and defend us. Through the same Lord, &c.

10[Preface. Qui salutem, as in the Ordinary, page 17.]

11Communion. Let the mercies of the Lord give glory to him, and his wonderful works to the children of men, alleluia.

12Postcom. Corporis tui. Being made partakers of thy sacred body and precious blood, by which we were redeemed, O Lord Jesus Christ, we beseech thee: that thou wouldst preserve thy gifts within us, and delivering us from the evils of this present life, wouldst conduct us to the good things of eternity. Who livest, &c.
