Collects, Epistles and Gospels
for the Proper of Saints
Saint
Ignatius of Loyola (July 31)
Introit. In Nomine Jesu. Phil. 2
AT the Name of Jesus every knee should bow of things in heaven,
and things in earth, and things under the earth: and every tongue
should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God
the Father., Ps. 5 They that love thy Name shall be joyful
in thee: for thou, Lord, wilt give thy blessing unto the righteous.
V. Glory be.
COLLECT.
O GOD, who for the propagation of the greater glory of thy
Name didst through thy blessed Saint Ignatius stablish thy Church
militant with a new defence: grant, we pray thee; that, by the
succour of his intercession and by the following of his example,
we may so fight manfully in this life on earth, that we may be
found worthy to share the glory of his crown in heaven. Through.
The Epistle. 2 Timothy 2:8-10, 3:10-12
[from Mass 5,
Laetabitur Justus]
8 Remember that Jesus Christ of the seed of David was raised
from the dead according to my gospel:
9 Wherein I suffer trouble, as an evildoer, even unto bonds;
but the word of God is not bound.
10 Therefore I endure all things for the elect's sakes, that
they may also obtain the salvation which is in Christ Jesus with
eternal glory.
10 But thou hast fully known my doctrine, manner of life, purpose,
faith, longsuffering, charity, patience,
11 Persecutions, afflictions, which came unto me at Antioch,
at Iconium, at Lystra; what persecutions I endured: but out of
them all the Lord delivered me.
12 Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer
persecution.
GRADUAL. Ps. 92. The righteous shall flourish like a palm-tree:
and shall spread abroad like a cedar in Libanus in the house
of the Lord. V. To tell of thy loving-kindness early in the morning:
and of thy truth in the night season.
Alleluia, alleluia. V. St James 1.12 Blessed in the man
that endureth temptation: for when he is tried he shall receive
the crown of life. Alleluia.
The Gospel. St Luke 10:1-9
1 AT that time: the Lord appointed
other seventy also, and sent them two and two before his face
into every city and place, whither he himself would come.
2 Therefore said he unto them, The harvest truly is great, but
the labourers are few: pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest,
that he would send forth labourers into his harvest.
3 Go your ways: behold, I send you forth as lambs among wolves.
4 Carry neither purse, nor scrip, nor shoes: and salute no man
by the way.
5 And into whatsoever house ye enter, first say, Peace be to
this house.
6 And if the son of peace be there, your peace shall rest upon
it: if not, it shall turn to you again.
7 And in the same house remain, eating and drinking such things
as they give: for the labourer is worthy of his hire. Go not
from house to house.
8 And into whatsoever city ye enter, and they receive you, eat
such things as are set before you:
9 And heal the sick that are therein, and say unto them, The
kingdom of God is come nigh unto you.
OFFERTORY. Ps. 89. My truth also and my mercy shall be with him:
and in my Name shall his horn be exalted.
SECRET.
We beseech thee, O Lord, that the gracious intercession of thy
blessed Saint Ignatius may assist us in these our oblations:
that these holy mysteries, which thou hast appointed to be the
source of all sanctification, may sanctify us thy ;people in
verity and truth. Through.
COMMUNION. St. Luke 12. I am come to send fire on the earth: and what
will I, if it be already kindled?
POSTCOMMUNION.
GRANT, O Lord, we pray thee: that the sacrifice of praise which
we have offered unto thee in thanksgiving for thy blessed Saint
Ignatius, may by his intercession effectually assist us to the
continual shewing forth of the praise of thy majesty. Through.
