EPISTLE. 1 Thes. iv. 12. 17.-Brethren: We will not have you ignorant concerning them that are asleep, that you be not sorrowful, even as others who have no hope. For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them who have slept through Jesus, will God bring with him. For this we say unto you in the word of the Lord, that we who are alive, who remain unto the coming of the Lord, shall not prevent them who have slept. For the Lord himself shall come down from heaven with commandment: and with the voice of an archangel, and with the trumpet of God: and the dead who are in Christ, shall rise first. Then we who are alive, who are left, shall be taken up together ther with them in the clouds to meet Christ, into the air, and so shall we be always with the Lord. Wherefore comfort ye one another with these words.

GRAD. Requiem æternam dona eis, Domine et lux perpetua luceat eis. V. Ps. cxi. In memoria eterna erit justus: ab auditione mala non timebit. Grant them eternal rest, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine on them. V. The just shall be in ever

lasting remembrance: he shall not fear the evil hearing.

TRACT. Absolve, Domine, animus omnium fidehum defunctorum ab omni vinculo dilectorum. V. Et gratia tuu illis succurente, mereantur evadere judicium ultionis. V. Et lucis æternæ beatitudine perfrui. -Release, O Lord, the souls of all the faithful departed from the bonds of their sins. V. And by the assistance of thy grace may they escape the sentence of condemnation. V. And enjoy the bliss of eternal light.

THE day of wrath, that DIES iræ, dies illa

dreadful day Shall the whole world in ashes lay,

As David and the Sybils

Quantus tremor est futurus,

Quando Judex est venturus,

Cuncta stricte discussurus!

Then shall with universal Liber scriptus proferetur,

Before the sad accounting Ante diem rationis. day.

Surrounded with amazing
fears;

Whose load my soul with
anguish bears;
I sigh, I weep: accept
my tears.
Thou, who wast mov'd
with Mary's grief,
And by absolving of the
thief,

Hast given me hope, now
give relief.
Reject not my unworthy

prayer,

Preserve me from the
dangerous snare,
Which death and gaping
hell prepare.
Give my exalted soul a
place

Among the chosen right-
hand race,

The sons of God, and
heirs of grace.
From that insatiate abyss,
Where flames devour,
and serpents hiss,
Promote me to thy seat
of bliss.

Ingernisco tanquam reus:

Culpa rubet vultus meus:

Supplicanti parce, Deus.
Qui Mariam absolvisti,

Et latronem exaudisti,
Mihi quoque spem dedisti.

Preces meæ non sunt
digne:

Sed tu bonus fac benigne,

Ne perenni cremer igne.

Inter oves locum præsta,

Et ab hædis me sequestra,

Statuens in parte dextra

Confutatis maledictis.
Flammis acribus addictis.

Voca me cum benedictis.

Prostrate, my contrite heart I rend, My God, my Father, and my friend! Do not forsake me in my Well may they curse their second birth,

Ora supplex et acclinis,

Cor contritum quasi cinis,

Lend.

Gere curam mei finis.
Lacrymosa dies illa!

Who rise to a surviving death.

Thou great Creator of mankind,

Qua resurget ex favilla

Huic ergo parce Deus:

Let guilty man compassion find. Amen.

Pie Jesu Domine, dona eis requiem. Amen.

GOSPEL. John xi. 21. 28. - At that time: Martha said to Jesus: Lord, if thou hadst been here, my brother had not died. But now also I know that whatsoever thou wilt ask of God, God will give it thee. Jesus saith to her: Thy brother shall rise again. Martha saith to him: I know that he shall rise again in the resurrection at the last day. Jesus said to her: I am the resurrection and the life; he that believeth in me, although he be dead, shall live. And every one that liveth, and believeth in me, shall not die for ever. Believest thou this? She saith to him: Yea, Lord, I have believed that thou art Christ the Son of the living God, who art come into this world.

OFFERTORY.

Lord Jesus Christ, King of Glory, deliver the souls of all the faithful departed from the flames of hell, and from the deep pit. Deliver them from the lion's mouth, lest hell swallow them, lest they fall into darkness: and let the standard bearer, St. Michael, bring them into the holy light: * Which thou promisedst of old to Abraham and his posterity. V. We offer thee, O Lord, a sacritice of praise and prayers:

Domine Jesu Christe, Rex gloriæ, libera animas omnium fidelium defunctorum de pœnis inferni, et de profundo lacu: libera eos de ore leonis, ne absorbeat eas tartarus, ne cadant in obscurum; sed signifer sanctus Michael, repræsentet eas in lucem sanctam : * Quam olim Abrahæ promisisti, et semini ejus. V. Hostias et preces tibi, Domine, laudis offeri mus: tu suscipe pro animabus illis, quarum ho
