Introit: John xv. 13

    Greater love than this no man hath, that a man lay down his life for his friends. Ps. Blessed is he that understandeth concerning the needy and the poor: the Lord will deliver him in the evil day. ℣. Glory be to the Father.

Collect

    O God, who didst endow saint Camillus with a special grace of charity for the relief of souls in their last agony: we beseech Thee, by his merits to pour into our hearts the spirit of Thy love, that in the hour of our death we may overcome the enemy, and deserve to win a heavenly crown. Through our Lord.

Epistle: 1 John iii. 13-18

    Lesson from the Epistle of blessed John the Apostle. Dearly beloved, wonder not if the world hate you. We know that we have passed from death to life, because we love the brethren. He that loveth not, abideth in death. Whosoever hateth his brother is a murderer: and you know that no murderer hath eternal life abiding in himself. In this we have known the charity of God, because He hath laid down His life for us, and we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren. He that hath the substance of this world, and shall see his brother in need, and shall shut up his bowels from him, how doth the charity of God abide in him? My little children, let us not love in word nor in tongue, but in deed and in truth.

Gradual: Psalms xxxvi. 30-31

    The mouth of the just shall meditate wisdom, and his tongue shall speak judgment. ℣. The law of his God is in his heart; and his steps shall not be supplanted.

Alleluia: Psalms cxi. 1

    Alleluia, alleluia. ℣. Blessed is the man that feareth the Lord, he delights exceedingly in His commandments. Alleluia.

Gospel: John xv. 12-16

    + Continuation of the holy Gospel according to the Apostle John. At that time, Jesus said to His disciples: This is My commandment, that you love one another, as I have loved you. Greater love than this no man hath, that a man lay down his life for his friends. You are My friends, if you do the things that I command you. I will not now call you servants: for the servant knoweth not what his lord doth. But I have called you friends: because all things whatsoever I have heard of My Father, I have made known to you. You have not chosen Me: but I have chosen you, and have appointed you, that you should go, and should bring forth fruit; and your fruit should remain; that whatsoever you shall ask of the Father in My name, He may give it you.

Offertory: Psalms xx. 2-3

    In Thy strength, O Lord, the just shall exult and in Thy salvation he shall rejoice exceedingly: Thou hast given him his heart's desire.

Secret

    May the spotless oblation, by which we renew the work of the boundless love of our Lord Jesus Christ, be, through the intercession of saint Camillus, a wholesome remedy against all infirmities of body and soul, and in our last agony a comfort and protection. Through the same our Lord.

Communion: Matthew xxv. 36, 40

Postcommunion

    By this heavenly food which we have taken with loving devotion while keeping the festival of saint Camillus, Thy confessor; grant, we beseech Thee, O Lord, that at the hour of our death we may be refreshed with the sacraments and cleansed from all sins, and may be found worthy to be received rejoicing into the bosom of Thy mercy. Who livest and reignest.

Commemoration of St. Symphorosa & sons:
