Lesson from the book of Wisdom
Wis 10:10-14
She conducted the just, when he fled from his brother's wrath, through the right ways, and shewed him the kingdom of God, and gave him the knowledge of the holy things, made him honourable in his labours, and accomplished his labours. In the deceit of them that overreached him, she stood by him, and made him honourable. She kept him safe from his enemies, and she defended him from seducers, and gave him a strong conflict, that he might overcome, and know that wisdom is mightier than all. She forsook not the just when he was sold, but delivered him from sinners: she went down with him into the pit. And in bands she left him not, till she brought him the sceptre of the kingdom, and power against those that oppressed him: and shewed them to be liars that had accused him, and gave him everlasting glory.
Léctio libri Sapiéntiæ
Sap 10:10-14
Justum dedúxit Dóminus per vias rectas, et ostendit illi regnum Dei, et dedit illi sciéntiam sanctórum: honestávit illum in labóribus, et complévit labores illíus. In fraude circumveniéntium illum áffuit illi, et honéstum fecit illum. Custodívit illum ab inimícis, et a seductóribus tutávit illum, et certámen forte dedit illi, ut vínceret et sciret, quóniam ómnium poténtior est sapiéntia. Hæc vénditum justum non derelíquit, sed a peccatóribus liberávit eum: descendítque cum illo in fóveam, et in vínculis non derelíquit illum, donec afférret illi sceptrum regni, et poténtiam advérsus eos, qui eum deprimébant: et mendáces osténdit, qui maculavérunt illum, et dedit illi claritátem ætérnam, Dóminus, Deus noster.

Continuation ☩ of the Holy Gospel according to Matthew
Matt 10:34-42
In that time: Jesus said to his disciples: Do not think that I came to send peace upon earth: I came not to send peace, but the sword. For I came to set a man at variance against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter in law against her mother in law. And as a man's enemies shall be they of his own household. He that loveth father or mother more than me, is not worthy of me; and he that loveth son or daughter more than me, is not worthy of me. And he that taketh not up his cross, and followeth me, is not worthy of me. He that findeth his life, shall lose it: and he that shall lose his life for me, shall find it. He that receiveth you, receiveth me: and he that receiveth me, receiveth him that sent me. He that receiveth a prophet in the name of a prophet, shall receive the reward of a prophet: and he that receiveth a just man in the name of a just man, shall receive the reward of a just man. And whosoever shall give to drink to one of these little ones a cup of cold water only in the name of a disciple, amen I say to you, he shall not lose his reward.
Sequéntia ☩ sancti Evangélii secúndum Matthǽum
Matt 10:34-42
In illo témpore: Dixit Jesus discípulis suis: Nolíte arbitrári, quia pacem vénerim míttere in terram: non veni pacem míttere, sed gládium. Veni enim separáre hóminem advérsus patrem suum, et fíliam advérsus matrem suam, et nurum advérsus socrum suam: et inimíci hóminis doméstici ejus. Qui amat patrem aut matrem plus quam me, non est me dignus: et qui amat fílium aut fíliam super me, non est me dignus. Et qui non áccipit crucem suam, et séquitur me, non est me dignus. Qui invénit ánimam suam, perdet illam: et qui perdíderit ánimam suam propter me, invéniet eam. Qui récipit vos, me récipit: et qui me récipit, récipit eum, qui me misit. Qui récipit prophétam in nómine prophétæ, mercédem prophétæ accípiet: et qui récipit justum in nómine justi, mercédem justi accípiet. Et quicúmque potum déderit uni ex mínimis istis cálicem aquæ frígidæ tantum in nómine discípuli: amen, dico vobis, non perdet mercédem suam.
Ps 8:6-7
Thou hast made him a little less than the angels, thou hast crowned him with glory and honour: and hast set him over the works of thy hands.
Ps 8:6-7
Glória et honóre coronásti eum: et constituísti eum super ópera mánuum tuárum, Dómine.
Graciously accept, O Lord, we beseech You, the gifts we reverently offer, and through the intercessory merits of St. Valentine, Your Martyr, grant that they may prove helpful for our salvation.
Through our Lord…
Súscipe, quǽsumus, Dómine, múnera dignánter obláta: et, beáti Valentini Mártyris tui suffragántibus méritis, ad nostræ salútis auxílium proveníre concéde.
Per Dominum…
Common
It is truly meet and just, and profitable unto salvation, that we should at all times, and in all places, give thanks to Thee, O Holy Lord, Father Almighty, eternal God, through Christ, our Lord. Through whom the Angels praise Thy Majesty, the Dominions adore it, the Powers are in awe. Which the heavens and the hosts of heaven together with the blessed Seraphim joyfully do magnify. And do Thou command that it be permitted us to join with them in confessing Thee, while we say with lowly praise:
Communis
Vere dignum et justum est, æquum et salutáre, nos tibi semper et ubíque grátias ágere: Dómine sancte, Pater omnípotens, ætérne Deus: per Christum, Dóminum nostrum. Per quem majestátem tuam laudant Angeli, adórant Dominatiónes, tremunt Potestátes. Cæli cælorúmque Virtútes ac beáta Séraphim sócia exsultatióne concélebrant. Cum quibus et nostras voces ut admítti jubeas, deprecámur, súpplici confessione dicéntes:
Matt 16:24
He who wishes to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow Me.
Matt 16:24
Qui vult veníre post me, ábneget semetípsum, et tollat crucem suam, et sequátur me.
May the heavenly sacrament, O Lord, renew our souls and minds, so that by the intercession of Your blessed Martyr Valentine we may feel the benefit of the worship we perform.
Through our Lord…
Sit nobis, Dómine, reparátio mentis et córporis cœléste mystérium: ut, cujus exséquimur actiónem, intercedénte beáto Valentíno Mártyre tuo, sentiámus efféctum.
Per Dominum…
