Alleluia, the Spirit of the Lord filleth the world: * O come, let us worship Him, alleluia.

Hymnus

1. Now Christ, ascending whence he came, Had mounted o'er the starry frame, The Holy Ghost on man below, The Father's promise, to bestow. 2. The solemn time was drawing nigh, Replete with heav'nly mystery, On seven days' sevenfold circles borne, That first and blessèd Whitsun-morn. 3. When the third hour shone all around, There came a rushing mighty sound, And told the Apostles, while in prayer, That, as was promised, God was there. 4. Forth from the Father's light it came, That beautiful and kindly flame: To fill with fervour of his word The spirits faithful to their Lord. 5. With joy the Apostles' breasts are fired, By God the Holy Ghost inspired: And straight, in diverse kinds of speech, The wondrous works of God they preach. 6. To men of every race they speak, Alike barbarian, Roman, Greek: From the same lips, with awe and fear, All men their native accents hear. 7. But Juda's sons, e'en faithless yet, With mad infuriate rage beset, To mock Christ's followers combine, As drunken all with new-made wine. 8. When lo! with signs and mighty deeds, Stands Peter in the midst, and pleads; Confounding their malignant lie By Joel's ancient prophecy. 9. To God the Father let us sing, To God the Son, our risen King, And equally let us adore The Spirit, God forevermore. Amen.

Versus

Pater

Pater noster, qui es in cælis, sanctificétur nomen tuum: advéniat regnum tuum: fiat volúntas tua, sicut in cælo et in terra. Panem nostrum cotidiánum da nobis hódie: et dimítte nobis débita nostra, sicut et nos dimíttimus debitóribus nostris:


℣. Et ne nos indúcas in tentatiónem:
℟. Sed líbera nos a malo.

Absolutio. Exáudi, Dómine Iesu Christe, preces servórum tuórum, et miserére nobis: Qui cum Patre et Spíritu Sancto vivis et regnas in sǽcula sæculórum.
℟. Amen.
Benedictio:

Evangélica léctio sit nobis salus et protéctio.

Lectio 1
Léctio sancti Evangélii secúndum Ioánnem
Ioannes 14:23-31

In illo témpore: Dixit Iesus discípulis suis: Si quis díligit me, sermónem meum servábit, et Pater meus díliget eum, et ad eum veniémus, et mansiónem apud eum faciémus. Et réliqua.

At that time, Jesus said unto His disciples: If a man love Me, He will keep My word, and My Father will love him, and We will come unto him, and make Our abode with him. And so on.

Homilía sancti Gregórii Papæ
Homilia 30 in Evangelia

Libet, fratres caríssimi, evangélicæ verba lectiónis sub brevitáte transcúrrere, ut post diútius líceat in contemplatióne tantæ solemnitátis immorári. Hódie namque Spíritus Sanctus repentíno sónitu super discípulos venit, mentésque carnálium in sui amórem permutávit, et foris apparéntibus linguis ígneis, intus facta sunt corda flammántia; quia dum Deum in ignis visióne suscepérunt, per amórem suáviter arsérunt. Ipse namque Spíritus Sanctus amor est: unde et Ioánnes dicit Deus cáritas est. Qui ergo mente íntegra Deum desíderat, profécto iam habet, quem amat. Neque enim quisquam posset Deum dilígere, si eum quem díligit, non habéret.

Dearly beloved brethren, our best way will be to run briefly through the words which have been read from the Holy Gospel, and thereafter rest for a while quietly gazing upon the solemn subject of this great Festival. This is the day whereon “suddenly there came a sound from heaven,” and the Holy Ghost descended upon the Apostles, and, for fleshly minds, gave them minds wherein the love of God was shed abroad and, while without “there appeared unto them cloven tongues, like as of fire, and it sat upon each of them,” within, their hearts were enkindled. While they received the visible presence of God in the form of fire, the flames of His love enwrapped them. The Holy Ghost Himself is love whence it is that John saith “God is love.” Whosoever therefore loveth God with all his soul, already hath obtained Him Whom he loveth, for no man is able to love God, if He have not gained Him Whom he loveth.

Benedictio:

Divínum auxílium máneat semper nobíscum.

Lectio 2

Sed ecce, si unusquísque vestrum requirátur an díligat Deum: tota fidúcia et secúra mente respóndet, Díligo. In ipso autem lectiónis exórdio audístis quid Véritas dicit: Si quis díligit me, sermónem meum servábit. Probátio ergo dilectiónis, exhibítio est óperis. Hinc in epístola sua idem Ioánnes dicit: Qui dicit: Díligo Deum, et mandáta eius non custódit, mendax est. Vere étenim Deum dilígimus et mandáta eius custodímus, si nos a nostris voluptátibus coarctámus. Nam qui adhuc per illícita desidéria díffluit, profécto Deum non amat: quia ei in sua voluntáte contradícit.

But, behold, now, if I shall ask any one of you whether he loveth God, he will answer with all boldness and quietness of spirit: “I do love him.” But at the very beginning of this day's Lesson from the Gospel, ye have heard what the Truth saith: “If a man love Me, he will keep My word.” The test, then, of love, is whether it is showed by works. Hence the same John hath said in his Epistle (I. i20, 3): “If a man say, I love God, and keepeth not His commandments, He is a liar.” Then do we indeed love God, and keep His commandments, if we deny ourselves the gratification of our appetites. Whosoever still wandereth after unlawful desires, such an one plainly loveth not God, for he saith, Nay, to that which God willeth.

Benedictio:

Ad societátem cívium supernórum perdúcat nos Rex Angelórum.

Lectio 3

Et Pater meus díliget eum, et ad eum veniémus, et mansiónem apud eum faciémus. Pensáte, fratres caríssimi, quanta sit ista dígnitas, habére in cordis hospítio advéntum Dei. Certe, si domum nostram quisquam dives aut prǽpotens amícus intráret, omni festinántia domus tota mundarétur, ne quid fortásse esset, quod óculos amíci intrántis offénderet. Tergat ergo sordes pravi óperis, qui Deo prǽparat domum mentis. Sed vidéte quid Véritas dicat: Veniémus, et mansiónem apud eum faciémus. In quorúmdam étenim corda venit, et mansiónem non facit: quia, per compunctiónem quidem, Dei respéctum percípiunt, sed tentatiónis témpore hoc ipsum quo compúncti fúerant, obliviscúntur; sicque ad perpetránda peccáta rédeunt, ac si hæc mínime planxíssent.

“And My Father will love him, and We will come unto him, and make Our abode with him.” O my dearly beloved brethren, think what a dignity is that, to have God abiding as a guest in our heart Surely if some rich man or some powerful friend were to come into our house, we would hasten to have our whole house cleaned, lest, perchance, when he came in, he should see aught to displease his eye. So let him that would make his mind an abode for God, cleanse it from all the filth of works of iniquity. Lo, again, what saith the Truth: “We will come unto him, and make Our abode with him.” There are some hearts whereunto God cometh, but maketh not His abode therein with a certain pricking they feel His Presence, but in time of temptation they forget that which hath pricked them and so they turn again to work unrighteousness, even as though they had never repented.

Reliqua omittuntur, nisi Laudes separandæ sint.

Orémus.

Deus, qui hodiérna die corda fidélium Sancti Spíritus illustratióne docuísti: † da nobis in eódem Spíritu recta sápere; * et de eius semper consolatióne gaudére.
Per Dóminum nostrum Iesum Christum, Fílium tuum: † qui tecum vivit et regnat in unitáte eiúsdem Spíritus Sancti, Deus, per ómnia sǽcula sæculórum.

O God, Who on this day didst teach the hearts of thy faithful people, by the sending to them the light of thine Holy Spirit, grant us by the same Spirit to have a right judgment in all things, and evermore to rejoice in His holy comfort.
Through Jesus Christ, thy Son our Lord, Who liveth and reigneth with thee, in the unity of the same Holy Ghost, God, world without end.
