May 24, 2022. Gospel Luke 11:5-13. Rogation Day.

[5] And he said to them: Which of you shall have a friend, and shall go to him at midnight, and shall say to him: Friend, lend me three loaves, Et ait ad illos : Quis vestrum habebit amicum, et ibit ad illum media nocte, et dicet illi : Amice, commoda mihi tres panes, [6] Because a friend of mine is come off his journey to me, and I have not what to set before him. quoniam amicus meus venit de via ad me, et non habeo quod ponam ante illum, [7] And he from within should answer, and say: Trouble me not, the door is now shut, and my children are with me in bed; I cannot rise and give thee. et ille de intus respondens dicat : Noli mihi molestus esse, jam ostrium clausum est, et pueri mei mecum sunt in cubili : non possum surgere, et dare tibi. [8] Yet if he shall continue knocking, I say to you, although he will not rise and give him, because he is his friend; yet, because of his importunity, he will rise, and give him as many as he needeth. Et si ille perseveraverit pulsans : dico vobis, etsi non dabit illi surgens eo quod amicus ejus sit, propter improbitatem tamen ejus surget, et dabit illi quotquot habet necessarios. [9] And I say to you, Ask, and it shall be given you: seek, and you shall find: knock, and it shall be opened to you. Et ego dico vobis : Petite, et dabitur vobis; quaerite, et invenietis; pulsate, et aperietur vobis. [10] For every one that asketh, receiveth; and he that seeketh, findeth; and to him that knocketh, it shall be opened. Omnis enim qui petit, accipit : et qui quaerit, invenit : et pulsanti aperietur. [11] And which of you, if he ask his father bread, will he give him a stone? or a fish, will he for a fish give him a serpent? Quis autem ex vobis patrem petit panem, numquid lapidem dabit illi? aut piscem, numquid pro pisce serpentem dabit illi? [12] Or if he shall ask an egg, will he reach him a scorpion? aut si petierit ovum, numquid porriget illi scorpionem? [13] If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father from heaven give the good Spirit to them that ask him? Si ergo vos, cum sitis mali, nostis bona data dare filiis vestris : quanto magis Pater vester de caelo dabit spiritum bonum petentibus se? Introit:  Isa.  58.20 Come forth out of Babylon, flee ye from the Chaldeans, declare it with the voice of joy: make this to be heard, and speak it out even to the ends of the earth. Say: The Lord hath redeemed his servant Jacob. Egredimini de Babylone, fugite a Chaldaeis, in voce exsultationis annuntiate; auditum facite hoc, et efferte illud usque ad extrema terrae. Dicite : Redemit Dominus servum suum Jacob.
