SAINT JOHN BEFORE THE LATIN GATE
[Commemoration]
SAINT EADBERT
Bishop/Confessor
GREATER DOUBLE / RED
Jesus told St. John and his brother, St. James, that the
sincerity of their love for Him would be put to trial by their
partaking of the chalice of His sufferings. St. James was the first of
the Apostles to be martyred; St. John was the last of the Twelve to
die. Emperor Domitian caused John to be brought to Rome and condemned
him to be cast into a cauldron of boiling oil; but God preserved the
Apostle from injury. St. John thus suffered a far greater martyrdom
than death; his longing to be reunited with Christ in heaven had to be
endured with an increasingly loving patience. So, we, too, must learn
to wait lovingly on God's will.
INTROIT Ps. 63:3
You have protected me, O God, from the throng of evildoers, alleluia; from the multitude of malefactors, alleluia, alleluia!
Ps. 63:2. Hear, O god, my prayer of supplication; deliver me from the fear of the enemy.
V. Glory be . . .
COLLECT
O God, you see how we are tossed about by the misfortunes that
surround us. May Your blessed Apostle and Evangelist John intercede for
us and protect us. Through our Lord . . .
Commemoration of SAINT EADBERT
Eadberht of Lindisfarne (died 6 May 698), also known as Saint Eadberht, was Bishop of Lindisfarne, England, from 688 until his death on 6 May 698. He is notable as having founded the holy shrine to his predecessor Saint Cuthbert on the island of Lindisfarne, a place that was to become a centre of great pilgrimage in later years.
It is said that Eadberht favoured poverty and long periods of solitude and devotion as part of his service in the bishopric. When he died he was buried in the same location from which Cuthbert's body had been exhumed earlier the same year.

LESSON Wisd. 5:1-5
Then shall the just stand with great constancy against those that
have afflicted them, and taken away their labours. These seeing it,
shall be troubled with terrible fear, and shall be amazed at the
suddenness of their unexpected salvation, Saying within themselves,
repenting, and groaning for anguish of spirit: These are they, whom we
had sometime in derision, and for a parable of reproach. We fools
esteemed their life madness, and their end without honour. Behold, how
they are numbered among the children of God, and their lot is among the
saints.
ALLELUIA
Alleluia, alleluia! V. Ps. 91:13; Os. 14:6
The just man shall flourish like the palm tree; he shall grow like a cedar of Lebanon. Alleluia!
V. The just man shall blossom as the lily, and shall flourish forever before the Lord. Alleluia!
GOSPEL Matt. 20:20-23
At that time, then came to him the mother of the sons of Zebedee
with her sons, adoring and asking something of him. Who said to her: "What wilt thou?"
She saith to him: "say that these my two sons may sit, the one on thy
right hand, and the other on thy left, in thy kingdom." And Jesus
answering, said: "You know not what you ask. Can you drink the chalice that I shall drink?" They say to him: "We can." He saith to them: "My
chalice indeed you shall drink; but to sit on my right or left hand is
not mine to give to you, but to them for whom it is prepared by my
Father."
OFFERTORY ANTIPHON Ps. 88:6
The heavens proclaim Your wonders, o Lord, and Your truth in the assembly of the saints, alleluia, alleluia, alleluia!
