Propers for Sunday, April 3, 2022 -- Sarum Use

Now that the current edition of the Sarum Mass was formally approved for the Vicariate on March 2, 2022, Sunday propers are posted here each week. Archpriest Mark Rowe, Vicar General for ROCOR Western Rite Communities, coordinates for each parish its usages.

Fourth Sunday in Lent

Sunday in Lent: abstain from all forms of meat, dairy, eggs, and cheese. Abstinence from fish was practiced in Old England by laity and clergy as a personal devotion. The station church is Jerusalem, so the icon of the Holy Cross is put out for veneration by the people. 

TERCE

antiphon:  So Jesus took the loaves, and having given thanks, He distributed them to those that were sitting, and likewise of the fishes, as many as they wanted.  

chapter:  It is written that Abraham had two sons, the one of a bond-woman, the other of a free. And he of the bond-woman was born according to the flesh, but he of the free woman was born according to the promise.
     R. Thanks be to God. 

long responsory. It is good for me that thou hast humbled me, O Lord. The law of Thy mouth is better to me than gold and silver. 
     V. Thy hands have made me and fashioned me; give me understanding and I will learn Thy commandments.
     The law of Thy mouth is better to me than gold and silver.  
V. Glory to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit.  
     It is good for me that thou hast humbled me...  

versicle:  He shall say to the Lord:
R. Thou art my helper.

Collect of the day, below under "Holy Mass." 

SEXT

antiphon: The Lord satisfied five thousand men with five loaves and two fishes. 

chapter:  Rejoice, thou barren woman that bearest not, cry aloud, thou that travailest not, for many are the children of the desolate, more than of her that hath not a husband.
     R. Thanks be to God.  

long responsory.  I am Thy servant; give me understanding, O Lord, 
     V. 
That I may learn Thy commandments.
Give me understanding, O Lord.  
     V. Glory to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit.  
I am Thy servant...  

versicle:  He shall deliver thee.
R. From the snare of the hunter.

Collect of the day, below. 

PROCESSION

antiphon, tone 1:  In the day when the Lord cometh for the judgment, to judge the world in His majesty, there shall stand round about Him all the assemblies of the heavenly virtues, the choirs of the saints, of the patriarchs and the prophets, the glory of the apostles, the number of martyrs, of confessors, and of the virgins. There all the peoples shall be present, struck with great fear before such great majesty, and before the Lord. O that day, a day of wrath, a day of tribulation, a day of misery and requital, a day of trumpet and of clamor, a day of cloud and thick darkness! O that day, exceeding bitter shall it be for the ungodly. O how happy they shall be, who are found worthy to hear the voice of the Lord: "O come, ye blessed of My Father, inherit the kingdom which hath been prepared for you from the beginning of the world."

responsory at the re-entry into the sanctuary, tone 1:  Hear, O Israel, the commandments of the Lord, and write them in thy heart as in a book, | And I will give thee a land flowing with milk and honey.
     V. Observe them, therefore, and hear my voice, and I will be an enemy to thine enemies.
And I will give thee a land...

     V. He lifted up his voice with weeping, which the Egyptians and all the house of Pharao heard, and he said unto his brethren:
     Peace be with you...

V. With a shield will His truth encompass thee.
R. Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night. 

Let us pray.  Collect of the day, below. 

HOLY MASS

Officium, tone 5:  Rejoice ye, Jerusalem, and be ye glad with her, all ye that love the Lord: rejoice ye for joy with her, all ye that in sorrow mourn for her: that ye may suck, and be filled with the breasts of her consolations.
     V. I was glad because of them that said unto me : let us go into the house of the Lord.
Rejoice ye...
     Glory to the Father... As it was...
Rejoice ye...   

Kyrieleison with verses. The Gloria is omitted throughout Lent. There is no kneeling at Mass on Sundays.

Collect of the Day.  Grant, we beseech Thee, O almighty God, that we who are afflicted because of what our actions have deserved may recover through the consolation of Thy grace.  Through...

Epistle.  A reading from the epistle of blessed Paul the apostle to the Galatians. Brethren: It is written that Abraham had two sons, the one by a bondwoman and the other by a free woman. But he who was of the bondwoman was born according to the flesh; but he of the free woman was by promise. Which things are said by an allegory. For these are the two testaments: the one from Mount Sina, engendering unto bondage, which is Agar: for Sina is a mountain in Arabia which hath affinity to that Jerusalem which now is, and is in bondage with her children. But that Jerusalem which is above is free, which is our mother. For it is written: “Rejoice, thou barren, that bearest not; break forth and cry, thou that travailest not. For many are the children of the desolate, more than of her that hath a husband.”1 Now we, brethren, as Isaac was, are the children of promise. But as then he that was born according to the flesh persecuted him that was after the spirit, so also it is now. But what saith the Scripture? “Cast out the bondwoman and her son, for the son of the bondwoman shall not be heir with the son of the free woman.”2 So then, brethren, we are not the children of the bondwoman, but of the free, by the freedom : wherewith Christ hath made us free.  [Gal 4:22-31]

Graduale, tone 7:  I was glad because of them that said unto me: Let us go into the house of the Lord.
     V. Let peace be now in thy strength, and prosperity in thy palaces.
I was glad because... 
 

Tract, tone 8:  They that trust in the Lord shall be as Mount Sion; he that dwelleth at Jerusalem, nevermore shall he be shaken.
     V.  Mountains are round about her, and the Lord is round about His people, from henceforth and for evermore.
They that trust... 

Gospel
V. The Lord be with you.
R. And with thy spirit.
V. The continuation of the holy gospel according to John. 
R. Glory to Thee, O Lord. 
     At that time: Jesus went over the sea of Galilee, which is that of Tiberias. And a great multitude followed Him, because they saw the miracles which He did on them that were diseased. Jesus therefore went up into a mountain, and there He sat with His disciples. Now the pasch, the festival day of the Jews, was near at hand. When Jesus therefore had lifted up His eyes, and seen that a very great multitude cometh to Him, He said to Philip: Whence shall we buy bread, that these may eat? And this He said to try Him, for He Himself knew what He would do. Philip answered Him: Two hundred pennyworth of bread is not sufficient for them, that every one may take a little. One of His disciples, Andrew, the brother of Simon Peter, saith to Him: There is a boy here that hath five barley loaves, and two fishes, but what are these among so many? Then Jesus said: Make the men sit down. Now there was much grass in the place. The men therefore sat down, in number about five thousand. And Jesus took the loaves, and when He had given thanks He distributed to them that were set down. In like manner also of the fishes, as much as they would. And when they were filled, He saith to His disciples: Gather up the fragments that remain, lest they be lost. They gathered up, therefore, and filled, twelve baskets with the fragments of the five barley loaves, which remained over and above to them that had eaten. Now those men, when they had seen what a miracle Jesus had done, said: This is of a truth the Prophet that is to come : into the world.   [Jn 6:1-14]

[Blessed is He that cometh in the name of the Lord.]

Offerenda, tone 2:  O praise ye the Lord, for the Lord is good; chant unto His name, for it is good. All that the Lord hath willed He hath done, in heaven and on the earth.
     V.  Ye that stand in the house of the Lord, in the courts of the house of our God. For I know that the Lord is great, and that our Lord is above all gods.
     O praise...
     V.  O Lord, Thy name endureth for ever, and Thy memorial unto generation and generation. For the Lord will judge His people, and because of His servants shall He be comforted.
     O praise... 

SecretMercifully bow down Thyself, O Lord, unto these sacrifices, we beseech Thee: that they may conduce to our salvation as well as to our reverential piety. Through...

Preface:  ... everlasting God. And to glorify Thee, the Creator of all things, for past fruits, and to entreat Thee humbly for future fruits, so that as we are found not ungrateful for those we have received, we may not be judged unworthy of those we shall yet receive. But as often as we show Thee our fasts with all manner of solemn piety, may we harvest the fruit of progress for our souls together with Thy sustenance for our bodies, through Christ our Lord. By Him angels praise...

Communio, tone 4:  Jerusalem is builded as a city which its dwellers share in concord; for there the tribes went up, the tribes of the Lord, to give thanks unto the name of the Lord.
     V.  I was glad because of them that said unto me : Let us go into the house of the Lord.

Bowed Heads:  O God, Who didst satisfy a multitude of people in the desert country by Thy power: impart also to us some spiritual refreshment for the journey on which we are passing through this world, so that we may not exhaust our strength. Through...
