Mass
0116 Martyrs Feast
Entrance Antiphon
The saints are happy in heaven because they followed Christ. They rejoice with him for ever because they shed their blood for love of him.
Gloria
Collect
Lord God, you sanctified the beginnings of the Order of Friars Minor by the glorious struggle of your holy martyrs Berard and companions. As they did not hesitate to give up their lives for you so may we bear staunch witness to you by our lives. We ask this through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever.
First Reading (1 Corinthians 4:9-13)格前
A reading from the book of 1 Corinthians
For as I see it, God has exhibited us apostles as the last of all, like people sentenced to death, since we have become a spectacle to the world, to angels and human beings alike. We are fools on Christ’s account, but you are wise in Christ; we are weak, but you are strong; you are held in honor, but we in disrepute.To this very hour we go hungry and thirsty, we are poorly clad and roughly treated, we wander about homelesse and we toil, working with our own hands. When ridiculed, we bless; when persecuted, we endure; when slandered, we respond gently. We have become like the world’s rubbish, the scum of all, to this very moment.
Responsorial Psalm (Ps126:1-6)
【 R.】 含淚播種的人，必含笑獲享收成。
A song of ascents.
When the LORD restored the captives of Zion,we thought we were dreaming.【 R.】
Then our mouths were filled with laughter;our tongues sang for joy.
Then it was said among the nations,“The LORD had done great things for them.”【 R.】
The LORD has done great things for us;Oh, how happy we were!【 R.】
Restore our captives, LORD,like the dry stream beds of the Negeb.【 R.】
Those who sow in tears will reap with cries of joy.【 R.】
Those who go forth weeping,carrying sacks of seed,Will return with cries of joy,
carrying their bundled sheaves.【 R.】
Alleluia ()
這些是真正相親相愛的弟兄們，他們戰勝世界的罪惡，跟隨了基督，並佔有光耀的天國。
Gospel (Mt 10:16-22)
A reading from the holy Gospel according to Matthew
Behold, I am sending you like sheep in the midst of wolves; so be shrewd as serpents and simple as doves. But beware of people,k for they will hand you over to courts and scourge you in their synagogues,l and you will be led before governors and kings for my sake as a witness before them and the pagans. When they hand you over, do not worry about how you are to speak or what you are to say. You will be given at that moment what you are to say.For it will not be you who speak but the Spirit of your Father speaking through you. Brother will hand over brother to death, and the father his child; children will rise up against parents and have them put to death. You will be hated by all because of my name, but whoever endures to the end will be saved.
Prayer over the Offerings
Holy Father, receive the gifts we bring you in memory of your holy martyrs Berard and companions. And grant us your servants the grace to be your steadfast witnesses. We ask this in the name of Jesus the Lord.
Communion Antiphon (Lk 22:28-30)
You are the ones who have stood by me faithfully in my trials. And now I confer a kingdom on you, says the Lord. You will eat and drink at my table in my kingdom.
Prayer after Communion
God our Father, in your holy martyrs you show us the glory of the cross.Through this sacrifice, strengthen our resolution to follow Christ faithfully and to work in your Church for the salvation of all. We ask this through Christ our Lord.
The saints are happy in heaven because they followed Christ. They rejoice with him for ever because they shed their blood for love of him.
