quóniam societátem habémus cum eo, et in ténebris ambulámus, mentímur, et
veritátem non facimus. Si autem in luce ambulámus sicut et ipse est in luce,
societátem habémus ad ínvicem, et sanguis Iesu Christi, Fílii eius, emúndat
nos ab omni peccáto.
|
And these things we write to you,
that you may rejoice, and your joy may be full. And this is the declaration
which we have heard from him, and declare unto you: That God is light, and in
him there is no darkness. If we say that we have fellowship with him, and
walk in darkness, we lie, and do not the truth. But if we walk in the light,
as he also is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the
blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin.

Reading 3: Si dixérimus quóniam peccátum non habémus, ipsi nos
sedúcimus, et véritas in nobis non est. Si confiteámur peccáta nostra,
fidélis est et iustus, ut remíttat nobis peccáta nostra, et emúndet nos ab
omni iniquitáte. Si dixérimus quóniam non peccávimus, mendácem fácimus eum, et verbum eius
non est in nobis.
|
If we say that we have no sin, we
deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.
If we confess our sins, he is faithful and
just, to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all iniquity. If we say
that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.

Reading 4: Filíoli mei, hæc scribo vobis, ut non peccétis. Sed et si
quis peccáverit, advocátum habémus apud Patrem, Iesum Christum iustum: Et
ipse est propitiátio pro peccátis nostris: non pro nostris autem tantum, sed
étiam pro totíus mundi. Et in hoc scimus quóniam cognóvimus eum, si mandáta
eius observémus. Qui dicit se nosse eum, et mandáta eius non custódit, mendax est, et in
hoc véritas non est. Qui autem servat verbum eius, vere in hoc cáritas Dei perfécta est.
|
My little children, these things I
write to you, that you may not sin. But if any man sin, we have an advocate
with the Father, Jesus Christ the just: And he is the propitiation for our
sins: and not for ours only, but also for those of the whole world. And by
this we know that we have known him, if we keep his commandments. He who
saith that he knoweth him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and
the truth is not in him. But he that keepeth his word, in him in very deed the
charity of God is perfected.

From the Book on
Ecclesiastical writers, written by St Jerome, Priest - The Apostle John whom
Jesus loved was a son of Zebedee, and brother of the Apostle James, who was
beheaded by Herod soon after our Lord suffered. He was the last of the
Evangelists to write his Gospel, which he published at the request of the
Bishops of Asia, against Cerinthus and other heretics, and particularly
against the then spreading doctrine of the Ebionites, who asserted that
Christ had had no existence before Mary. It was therefore needful for the
Evangelist to declare His Eternal and Divine Generation.

He commit His mother, maiden to maiden.

Reading 7: Interfécto autem Domitiáno, et actis eius ob nímiam
crudelitátem a senátu rescíssis, sub Nerva príncipe rédiit Ephesum: ibíque
usque ad Traiánum príncipem persevérans, totas Asiæ fundávit rexítque ecclésias:
et conféctus sénio, sexagésimo octávo post passiónem Dómini anno mórtuus,
iuxta eándem urbem sepúltus est.
|
When Domitian was killed, the Senate annulled all
his acts, on account of his savage cruelty, and the Apostle returned to
Ephesus, during the reign of Nerva. He remained at Ephesus until the time of
Trajan, and founded and governed all the Churches of Asia. There, in an
extreme old age, he died, in the sixty-eighth year after the Lord's passion,
and was buried near the city.

Reading 8: Ex Commentáriis eiusdem in Epístolam ad Gálatas - Beátus
Ioánnes Evangelísta, cum Ephesi morarétur usque ad últimam senectútem, et vix
inter discipulórum manus ad ecclésiam deferrétur, nec posset in plura vocem
verba contéxere; nihil áliud per síngulas solébat proférre colléctas, nisi
hoc: Fílioli, díligite altérutrum. Tandem discípuli et fratres, qui áderant,
tǽdio affécti quod éadem semper audírent, dixérunt: Magíster, quare semper
hoc lóqueris? Qui respóndit
dignam Ioánne senténtiam: Quia præcéptum Dómini est; et, si solum fiat,
súfficit.

From the Commentary upon the
Epistle to the Galatians, by the same author - The Blessed Evangelist John
lived at Ephesus down to an extreme old age, and, at length, when he was with
difficulty carried to the Church, and was not able to exhort the congregation
at length, he was used simply to say at each meeting, My little children,
love one another. At last the disciples and brethren were weary with hearing
these words continually, and asked him, Master, wherefore ever sayest thou
this only? Whereto he replied to them, worthy of John, It is the commandment
of the Lord, and if this only be done, it is enough.

R. Cibávit /
illum pane vitae et intelléctus † et aqua sapiéntiae salutáris potávit eum.*
Et exaltávit eum apud próximos suos.
V. In médio
Ecclésiae apéruit os eius, † et implévit eum Dóminus spíritu sapiéntiae et
intelléctus.
R. Et exaltávit

V. Glória
Patri, et Fílio, et Spirítui Sancto.
R. Et exaltávit

R. With the bread of life and understanding, she shall feed
him, * And she shall exalt him among his neighbours.
V. And in the midst of the church she shall open his mouth,
and shall fill him with the spirit of wisdom and understanding.
R. And she shall exalt him among his neighbours.
V. Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy
Ghost.
R. And she shall exalt him among his neighbours.

Reading 9: Léctio sancti Evangélii secúndum Ioánnem - In illo
témpore: Dixit Iesus Petro: Séquere me. Convérsus Petrus, vidit illum
discípulum, quem diligébat Iesus, sequéntem. Et réliqua.
Homilía sancti Augustíni Epíscopi
- Duas vitas sibi divínitus prædícatas, et commendátas novit Ecclésia: quarum
est una in fide, áltera in spécie; una in témpore peregrinatiónis, áltera in
æternitáte mansiónis; una in labóre, áltera in réquie; una in via, áltera in
pátria; una in opere actiónis, áltera in mercéde contemplatiónis.

From the holy Gospel according to
John - In that time Jesus said to Peter: Follow me. Peter turning about, saw
that disciple whom Jesus loved following. And so on.
Homily by St Augustine - The
Church knoweth of two different lives which God hath revealed and blessed one
is the life of faith, the other the life of knowledge one the life of this
pilgrimage, the other the life of the eternal mansions; one the life of work,
the other the life of rest one the life of the journey, the other the life of
home; one the life of action, the other the life of contemplation.

Reading 10: Una declinat a malo, et facit bonum: áltera nullum habet,
a quo declínet, malum; et magnum habet, quo fruátur, bonum. Una cum hoste
pugnat; áltera sine hoste regnat. Una súbvenit indigénti; áltera ibi est, ubi
nullum ínvenit indigéntem. Una aliéna peccáta, ut sua sibi ignoscántur,
ignóscit; áltera nec pátitur quod ignóscat, nec facit quod sibi poscat
ignósci.
|
The one escheweth evil and doeth
good; the other hath no evil to eschew, and only an exceeding good to enjoy.
The one striveth with the enemy, the other hath no enemies, and reigneth. The
succoureth the needy; the other is where there are no needy to succour. The
one forgiveth them that trespass against it, that its own trespasses may be
forgiven; the other neither hath trespasses to forgive nor to be forgiven.

R. Iste / est Ioánnes, qui supra pectus Dómini in cena

V. Fluénta

R. Beátus
Apóstolus, cui reveláta sunt secréta cæléstia.
|
R. This is that John which leaned on the Lord's Breast at
supper * Even that blessed Apostle unto whom were made known the secret
things of heaven.
V. He drank in the rivers of the Gospel from the Lord's
Breast, as from an holy fountain.
R. Even that blessed Apostle unto whom were made known the
secret things of heaven.

NR 188-9
Reading 11: Una flagellátur malis, ne extollátur in bonis; áltera
tanta plenitúdine grátiæ caret omni malo, ut sine ulla tentatióne supérbiæ
cohǽreat summo bono. Ergo una bona est, sed adhuc
mísera; áltera mélior, et beáta. Ista significáta est per Apóstolum Petrum,
illa per Ioánnem.
|
The one is chastened with evil,
lest it be exalted above measure by good; the other enjoyeth such a fulness
of grace that it feeleth no evil, and cleaveth so firmly unto the Highest
Good, that it hath no temptation to pride.
Therefore the one is good, but still sorrowful; the other is better
and perfectly blessed. And of these two lives there are types, of the one in
the Apostle Peter, of the other in John.
|
R. Virgo / est eléctus a Dómino atque inter céteros magis
diléctus, † qui supra pectus eius recúmbens Evangélii fluénta de ipso sacro

diffúdit.
V. Spíritus sancti grátia inebriátus, † céteris áltius
divinitátis patefécit arcána.
R. Et verbi Dei grátiam in toto terrárum orbe diffúdit.
|
R. A virgin was chosen by the Lord and was loved more than
the others, who, reclining against the breast of the Lord, drank of the
stream of the Gospel that flowed from the sacred fountain of the Lord's
breast. * And he poured the grace of the words of God through the whole
world.
V. Through the intoxicating grace of the Holy Spirit he
opened to others the higher secrets of the Godhead.
R. And he poured the grace of the words of God through the
whole world.

Reading 12: Tota hic agitur ista usque in huius sǽculi finem, et illic
ínvenit finem; différtur illa complénda post huius sǽculi finem, sed in
futúro sǽculo non habet finem. Ideo dícitur huic: Séquere me. De illo autem: Sic eum
volo manére, donec véniam: quid ad te? tu me séquere. Quid enim est hoc?
Quantum sapio, quantum capio, quid est hoc? nisi tu me séquere per
imitatiónem perferéndi temporália mala: ille maneat, donec sempitérna vénio

The one laboureth here even unto
the end, and findeth its end hereafter; the other stretcheth out into the
hereafter, and in eternity findeth no end. Therefore is it said unto the one,
Follow Me; but of the other, If I will that he tarry till I come, what is
that to thee? Follow thou Me. What is the meaning of these words? who can
know? who can understand? what is it? is it Follow thou Me, imitating Me in
the bearing of earthly sorrow; let him tarry till I come again, bringing the
everlasting reward?

Ghost.

Continuation of the
Holy Gospel according to John.
R. Glory be to Thee, O Lord.
Continuation of the
Holy Gospel according to John - And this he said, signifying by what death he
should glorify God. And when he had said this, he saith to him: Follow me.
Peter turning about, saw that disciple whom Jesus loved following, who also
leaned on his breast at supper, and said: Lord, who is he that shall betray
thee? Him therefore when Peter had seen, he saith to Jesus: Lord, and what
shall this man do? Jesus saith to him: So I will have him to remain till I
come, what is it to thee? follow thou me. This saying therefore went abroad
among the brethren, that that disciple should not die. And Jesus did not say
to him: He should not die; but, So I will have him to remain till I come,
what is it to thee? This is that disciple who giveth testimony of these
things, and hath written these things; and we know that his testimony is
true.
R. Amen.
