Tu es Petrus, et super hanc petram ædificábo Ecclésiam meam, et portæ ínferi non prævalébunt advérsus eam...

Today is the feast of Pope Saint Celestine, the famous predecessor in retirement from the Throne of Saint Peter of Benedictus XVI, and the Friday within the Octave of the Ascension of Our Lord (which Octave was of course suppressed by Pius XII, eh). 

The ordo at Barroux says that the Holy Confessor is commemorated as is also the Virgin Saint Pudentiana but why the day is marked de ea, I don't know. The Ioannes XXIII arrangement of the Missale Romanum gives Saint Celestine with commemoration of the Holy Virgin, so probably this is what will be done at Saint Eugène. Viri Galilaei is here, in case the monks at Barroux sing it. 

The morning is complicated by the need to go to the supermarket, so am listening to the recording at Barroux just long enough to hear which Mass they're singing. There's the bell. Si diligis me it is. Eh.

There appears to have been a 'technical challenge' of some sort at Saint-E. (and nothing more serious than that, I hope); the YouTube page opened up at the usual time, 1000, but then nothing was streamed, not to this corner of the world, anyway. I stopped checking after 1024. Such things happen, eh.

Introitus. Joann. 21, 15, 16 et 17. 15:32. Si díligis me, Simon Petre, pasce agnos meos, pasce oves meas, allelúja, allelúja. Ps. 29, 2. Exaltábo te, Dómine, quóniam suscepísti me, nec delectásti inimícos meos super me. ℣. Glória Patri.

At Barroux, the Kyrie was begun at 18:26 and the Gloria at 20:23.

Oratio. Deus, qui beátum Petrum Cœlestínum ad summi pontificátus ápicem sublimásti, quique illum humilitáti postpónere docuísti: concéde propítius; ut ejus exémplo cuncta mundi despícere, et ad promíssa humílibus prǽmia perveníre felíciter mereámur. Per Dóminum.

Oratio. Exáudi nos, Deus, salutáris noster: ut, sicut de beátæ Pudentiánæ Vírginis tuæ festivitáte gaudémus; ita piæ devotiónis erudiámur affectu. Per Dóminum.

Léctio Epístolæ beáti Petri Apóstoli.
l. Petri 5, 1-4 et 10-11 25:26.
Caríssimi: Senióres, qui in vobis sunt, obsécro consénior et testis Christi passiónum, qui et ejus, quæ in futúro revelánda est, glóriæ communicátor: páscite qui in vobis est gregem Dei, providéntes non coácte, sed spontánee secúndum Deum, neque turpis lucri grátia, sed voluntárie; neque ut dominántes in cleris, sed forma facti gregis ex ánimo. Et, cum appáruerit princeps pastórum, percipiétis immarcescíbilem glóriæ corónam. Deus autem omnis grátiæ, qui vocávit nos in ætérnam suam glóriam in Christo Jesu, módicum passos ipse perfíciet, confirmábit solidabítque. Ipsi glória et impérium in sǽcula sæculórum. Amen.

Allelúja, allelúja. ℣. Matth. 16, 18. 27:29. Tu es Petrus, et super hanc petram ædificábo Ecclésiam meam.

Allelúja. ℣. Ps. 44, 17, 18. 29:13. Constítues eos príncipes super omnem terram: mémores erunt nóminis tui, Dómine. Allelúja.

✠ Sequéntia sancti Evangélii secúndum Matthǽum.
Matth. 16, 13-19. 32:10.

In illo témpore: Venit Jesus in partes Cæsaréæ Philíppi, et interrogábat discípulos suos, dicens: Quem dicunt hómines esse Fílium hóminis? At illi dixérunt: Alii Joánnem Baptístam, alii autem Elíam, alii vero Jeremíam aut unum ex prophétis. Dicit illis Jesus: Vos autem quem me esse dícitis? Respóndens Simon Petrus, dixit: Tu es Christus, Fílius Dei vivi. Respóndens autem Jesus, dixit ei: Beátus es, Simon Bar Jona: quia caro et sanguis non revelávit tibi, sed Pater meus, qui in cœlis est. Et ego dico tibi, quia tu es Petrus, et super hanc petram ædificábo Ecclésiam meam, et portæ ínferi non prævalébunt advérsus eam. Et tibi dabo claves regni cœlórum. Et quodcúmque ligáveris super terram, erit ligátum et in cœlis: et quodcúmque sólveris super terram, erit solútum et in cœlis.

Offertorium. Jerem. 1, 9-10. 35:38. Ecce, dedi verba mea in ore tuo: ecce, constítui te super gentes et super regna, ut evéllas et destruas, et ædífices et plantes, allelúja.

Secreta. Sancti tui, quǽsumus, Dómine, nos ubíque lætíficent: ut, dum eórum mérita recólimus, patrocínia sentiámus. Per Dóminum.

Secreta. Accépta tibi sit, Dómine, sacrátæ plebis oblátio pro tuórum honóre Sanctórum: quorum se méritis de tribulatióne percepísse cognóscit auxílium. Per Dóminum.

At Barroux the Sanctus was begun at 42:20 and the Agnus Dei at 52:27.

Communio. Matth. 16, 18. 57:17. Tu es Petrus, et super hanc petram ædificábo Ecclésiam meam, allelúja.

Postcommunio. Præsta, quǽsumus, omnípotens Deus: ut, de percéptis munéribus grátias exhibéntes, intercedénte beáto Petro Cœlestíno Confessóre tuo atque Pontífice, benefícia potióra sumámus. Per Dóminum.

Postcommunio. Satiásti, Dómine, famíliam tuam munéribus sacris: ejus, quǽsumus, semper interventióne nos réfove, cujus sollémnia celebrámus. Per Dóminum.
