Last Mass of Father Thomas Byles
DOMINICA IN ALBIS
IN OCTAVA PASCHÆ

I classis
Statio ad S. Pancratium
Sunday, April 14, 1912

The column on the left contains the Propers of the Mass as it was said by Father Thomas Byles on the morning of Sunday, April 14, 1912. This is the same text used today on the Sunday in the Octave of Easter. This page does not include the Ordinary of the Mass; e.g., the Judica me, Kyrie, Gloria, Credo, Offertory, Canon, and Agnus Dei. I have put the English translation of the text to the right. This is not present in the Roman Missal. I place it here merely for those who may be interested.

I Petri 2, 2

Quasi modo géniti infántes, allelúia: rationábiles, sine dolo lac concupíscite, allelúia. Ps. 80, 2 Exsultáte Deo adiutóri nostro: iubiláte Deo Iacob. V. Glória Patri.

Dicitur Glória in excélsis in hac et sequentibus dominicis post Pascha etiam quando infra hebdomadam adhibetur Missa dominicæ præcendentis.

Oratio

Præsta, quæsumus, omnípotens Deus: ut, qui paschália festa perégimus, hæc, te largiénte, móribus et vita teneámus. Per Dóminum.

Léctio Epístolæ beáti Ioánnis Apóstoli.

I Ioann. 5, 4-10

Caríssimi: Omne, quod natum est ex Deo, vincit mundum: et hæc est victória, quæ vincit mundum, fides nostra. Quis est, qui vincit mundum, nisi qui credit, quóniam Iesus est Fílius Dei? Hic est qui venit per aquam, et sánguinem, Iesus Christus: non in aqua solum, sed in aqua et sánguine. Et Spíritus est, qui testificátur, quónium dant in cælo: Pater, Verbum, et Spíritus Sanctus: et hi tres unum sunt. Et tres sunt, qui testimónium dant in terra: Spíritus, et aqua, et sanguis: et hi tres unum sunt. Si testimónium hóminum accípimus, testimónium Dei, quod maius ets: Quóniam testificátus etst de Fílio suo. Qui Crdit in Fílium Dei, habet testimónium Dei in se.

Allelúia, allelúia. V. Matth. 28, 7 In die resurrectiónis meæ, dicit Dóminus, præcédam vos in Galilæam. Allelúia. V. Ioann. 20, 26 Post dies octo, iánuis clausis, stetit Iesus in médio discipulórum suórum, et dixit: Pax vobis. Allelúia.

Ioann. 20, 19-31

In illo témpore: Cum sero esset die illo, una sabbatórum, et fores essent clausæ, ubi erant discípuli congregáti propter metum Iudæórum: venit Iesus, et stetit in médio, et dixit eis: Pax vobis. Et cum hoc dixísset, osténdit eis manus, et latus. Gavísi sunt ergo discípuli, viso Dómino. Dixit ergo eis íterum: Pax vobis. Sicut misit me Pater, et ego mitto vos. Hæc cum dixísset, insufflávit: et dixit eis: Accípite Spíritum Sanctum: quorum remiséritis peccáta, remittúntur eis: et quorum retinuéritis, reténta sunt. Thomas autem unus ex duódecim, qui dícitur Dídymus, non erat cum eis, quando venit Iesus. Dixérunt ergo ei álii discípuli: Vídimus Dóminum. Ille autem dixit eis: Nisi vídero in mánibus eius fixúram clavórum, et mittam dígitum meum in locum clavórum, et mittam manum meam in latus eius, non credam. Et post dies octo, íterum erant discípuli eius intus, et Thomas cum eis. Venit Iesus iánuis clausis, et stetit in médio, et dixit: Pax vobis. Deínde dicit Thomæ: Infer dígitum tuum huc, et vide manus meas, et affer manum tuam, et mitte in latus meum: et noli esse incrédulus, sed fidélis. respondit Thomas, et dixit ei: Dóminus meus, et Deus meus. Dixit ei Iesus: Quia vidísti me, Thoma, credidísti: beáti, qui non vidérunt, et credidérunt. Multa quidem et ália signa fecit Iesus in conspéctu discipulórum suórum, quæ non sunt scripta in libro hoc. Hæc autem scripta in libro hoc. Hæc autem scripta sunt, ut credátis, quia Iesus est Christus Fílius Dei: et ut credéntes, vitam habeátis in nomine eius.

Credo.

Prayer

Grant, we beseech Thee, O almighty God, that we who have completed the observance of the paschal festival, may keep it, by Thy bounty, in our life and behavior. Through our Lord.

Epistle. 1 John 5, 4-10

Lesson from the Epistle of blessed John the Apostle.

Dearly beloved, Whatsoever is born of God, overcometh the world; and this is the victory which overcometh the world, our faith. Who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God? This is He that came by water and blood, Jesus Christ; not by water only, but by water and blood. And it is the spirit which testifieth that Christ is the truth. And there are three who give testimony in heaven; the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one. And there are three that give testimony on earth; the spirit, the water, and the blood: and these three are one. If we receive the testimony of men, the testimony of God which is greater: for this is the testimony of God which is greater, because He hath testified of His Son. He that believeth in the Son of God hath the testimony of God in himself.

Alleluia, alleluia. V. Matt. 28, 7. In the day of My resurrection, saith the Lord, I will go before you into Galiliee. Alleluia. V. John 20, 26. Eight days after, the doors being shut, Jesus stood in the midst of His disciples and said, Peace be unto you. Alleluia.

+ Continuation of the holy Gospel according to St. John.

Gospel. John 20, 19-31

At that time, when it was late that same day, the first of the week, and the doors were shut, where the disciples were gathered together, for fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood in the midst, and said to them, Peace be to you. And when He had said this, He showed them His hands and His side. The disciples therefore were glad, when they saw the Lord. He said therefore to them again, Peace be to you: as the Father hath sent Me, I also send you. When He had said this, He breathed on them; and He said to them, Receive ye the Holy Ghost; whose sins you shall forgive, they are forgiven them, and whose sins you shall retain, they are retained. Now Thomas, one of the twelve, who is called Didymus, was not with them, when Jesus came. The other disciples therefore said to him, We have seen the Lord. But he said the them, Except I see in His hands the print of the nails, and put my finger into the place of the nails, and put my hand into His side, I will not believe. And after eight days, again His disciples were within, and Thomas with them. Jesus cometh, the doors being shut, and stood in the midst, and said, Peace be to you. Then He said to Thomas, Put in thy finger hither, and see My hands, and bring hither thy hand, and put it into My side; and be not faithless, but believing. Thomas answered, and said to Him, My Lord, and my God. Jesus saith to him, Because thou hast seen Me, Thomas, thou hast believed: blessed are they that have not seen, and have believed. Many other signs also did Jesus in the sight of His disciples, which are not written in this book. But these are written, that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ the Son of God; and that, believing, you may have life in His name.

Creed.

Offertory. Matt. 28, 2, 5, 6 An angel of the Lord descended from heaven, and said to the women: He Whom you seek is risen as He said, alleluia.
