Text is from The Saint Andrew Daily Missal,
unless stated otherwise.
Indulgences: One Plenary Indulgence each time; another Plenary Indulgence if Holy Communion is received on the same day, or ten times within the month following that exercise.
If it remained unfinished, Ten Years and Ten Quarantines for each Station visited.
(20 October 1931).
Conditions:
1. To visit each Station, unless it is impossible owing to the crowd.
[Pictures of the fourteen several Mysteries are very useful, but are not indispensable. Wooden Crosses, indicating the fourteen Stations of The Cross, are sufficient and are absolutely required.]
2. To meditate, as best one can, on The Passion of The Saviour.
No vocal Prayers are required. The Popes recommend the recitation of a Pater, an Ave, and an Act of Contrition, at each Station (April 1731).
When The Way of The Cross is made in public, a Verse of “The Stabat Mater” may be sung between each Station.
The Sixth Station.
The Face Of Jesus Is Wiped By Veronica.
Versicle: We adore Thee, O, Christ, and we bless Thee.
Response: Because by Thy Holy Cross Thou hast redeemed the world.
Priest.
As Jesus proceeds on the way, covered with the sweat of death, a woman, moved with compassion, makes her way through the crowd, and wipes His face with a handkerchief.
As a reward of her piety, the impression of His sacred countenance is miraculously imprinted upon the handkerchief.
Prayer.
O, Jesus. May the contemplation of Thy sufferings move us with the deepest compassion, make us to hate our sins, and kindle in our hearts more fervent love to Thee.
May Thy image be graven on our minds, until we are transformed into Thy likeness.
An Act of Contrition.
O, God, we love Thee with our whole hearts, and above all things, and are heartily sorry that we have offended Thee.
May we never offend Thee any more. O, may we love Thee without ceasing, and make it our delight to do in all things Thy Most Holy Will.
Our Father . . .
Hail Mary . . .
Glory Be To The Father . . .
Have mercy on us, O, Lord. Have mercy on us.
Versicle: May the Souls of the Faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace.
This Act of Contrition is to be repeated after each Station.
While passing from one Station to another, a Verse of the “Stabat Mater” is sung or said.
Versicle:
Quis non posset contristári,
Christi Matrem contemplári,
Doléntem cum Fílio ?
Response:
Sancta Mater, istud agas,
Crucifíxi fige plagas,
Cordi meo válide.
Proceed to The Seventh Station.

San Pietro-in-Vincoli (Italian) (Saint Peter-in-Chains) is a Roman Catholic Titular Church and Minor Basilica in Rome.
It is also known as the home of Michelangelo’s Statue of Moses, part of the tomb of Pope Julius II. Two Popes were elected in this Church: His Holiness Pope John II (533 A.D.) and His Holiness Pope Gregory VII (1073).
The Station is in one of the most ancient Roman Basilicas,

built by the Empress Eudocia, where the Chains worn by The Prince of the Apostles, to whom Jesus confided His Flock, are kept. In the 5th-Century A.D., it was one of the twenty-five Parishes of Rome.
The Epistle (of the Day), alluding to the Penitents about to be reconciled at Easter and to the Catechumens preparing for Baptism, says that The Lord is the Shepherd Who comes to seek His Lost Sheep.
And the Gospel tells of the separation that this Shepherd will make for ever between the sheep and the goats, or between the good, who repent and give themselves up to Works of Charity, and the sinners (this Prophecy was spoken by Jesus to His Apostles on the Mount of Olives, on the evening of the Tuesday preceding His Death).
Let us ask God to prepare us by “this Lenten Fast” (Collect) “to be loosened from the bonds of our sins” (the Prayer over the People) by virtue of the Power of Peter, who was delivered from his Chains.

San Pietro-in-Vincoli (Saint Peter-in-Chains) is a Roman Catholic Titular Church and Minor Basilica in Rome, best known for being the home of Michelangelo’s statue of Moses, part of the tomb of Pope Julius II.

The Empress Eudoxia (wife of Emperor Valentinian III), who received them as a gift from her mother, Aelia Eudocia, consort of Valentinian II, presented the Chains to Pope Leo I. Aelia Eudocia had received these Chains as a gift from Iuvenalis, Bishop of Jerusalem.

fused together.
The Chains are kept in a Reliquary under The High Altar in the Basilica.

The Basilica, consecrated in 439 A.D., by Pope Sixtus III, has undergone several restorations, among them a restoration by Pope Adrian I, and further work in the 11th-Century.
From 1471 to 1503, in which year he was elected Pope Julius II, Cardinal Della Rovere, the nephew of Pope Sixtus IV, effected notable rebuilding.
The front Portico, attributed to Baccio Pontelli, was added in 1475. The Cloister (1493–1503) has been attributed to Giuliano da Sangallo. Further work was done at the beginning of the 18th-Century, under Francesco Fontana, and there was also a renovation in 1875.

Two Popes were Elected in this Church: Pope John II in
533 A.D., and Pope Gregory VII in 1073.
The Interior has a Nave and two Aisles, with three Apses, divided by antique Doric Columns. The Aisles are surmounted by Cross-Vaults, while the Nave has an 18th-Century Coffered Ceiling, frescoed in the centre by Giovanni Battista Parodi, portraying the Miracle of the Chains (1706).
Michelangelo’s Moses (completed in 1515), while originally intended as part of a massive forty-seven-statue, free-standing funeral monument for Pope Julius II, became the centre-piece of the Pope’s funeral monument and tomb in this, the Church of the Della Rovere Family.
Moses is depicted with horns, connotating “the radiance of The Lord”, due to the similarity in the Hebrew words for “beams of light” and “horns”. This kind of iconographic symbolism was common in early Sacred Art, and, for an artist, horns are easier to sculpt than rays of light.
Other works of art include two canvasses of Saint Augustine and Saint Margaret by Guercino, the monument of Cardinal Girolamo Agucchi, designed by Domenichino, who is also the painter of a Sacristy fresco depicting the Liberation of Saint Peter (1604).
The Altarpiece on the first Chapel to the Left is a Deposition

Saint Peter Damian showed remarkable piety from his childhood. Having, by chance, picked up a coin, he gave it to a Priest, requesting him to offer up The Divine Sacrifice for the Soul of his father. He added to his father’s name, that of Damian, his brother, out of gratitude, because it was by his brother’s generosity that he was able to pursue his studies.
“Despising Earthly riches” (Collect), he entered a Monastery of Camaldolese of the Benedictine Observance and soon became its Abbot (Communion).
“As a light of Souls, he was to be placed on the Candlestick’ (Gospel), and became Bishop of Ostia and Cardinal. He rendered immense services to the Sovereign Pontiffs by his learning, his commissions as Legate and many other works.
Taking his share in the Apostolic life of Jesus, he combatted
the heresy of the Simonists and died at Fænza in 1072. Pope
Leo XII gave him the Title of Doctor of The Church.

The Church attaches great importance to the Feasts of the Apostles, which are always preceded by a Vigil (Collect).
Saint Matthias, elected by the Will of God (Gospel), received Judas’ share in the inheritance of The Church, which was figured by The Promised Land divided into twelve Tribes (Epistle).
Called “to give his life” (Gospel), like Jesus, to crown his Apostolic career, he suffered Martyrdom and was “clothed by God in resplendent glory” (Communion).
Let us ask God to prepare us to Celebrate piously the Feast of His Apostle, Saint Matthias.

Response: Because by Thy Holy Cross Thou hast redeemed the world.
Priest.
As the strength of Jesus fails, and He is unable to proceed, the executioners seize and compel Simon of Cyrene to carry His Cross.
The virtue of that Cross changed his heart, and from a compulsory task it became a privilege and a joy.
Prayer.
O, Lord Jesus ! May it be our privilege, also, to bear Thy Cross; may we glory in nothing else; by it, may the World be crucified unto us, and we unto the World.
May we never shrink from sufferings, but rather rejoice if we may be counted worthy to suffer for Thy name's sake.
An Act of Contrition.
O, God, we love Thee with our whole hearts, and above all things, and are heartily sorry that we have offended Thee.
May we never offend Thee any more. O, may we love Thee without ceasing, and make it our delight to do in all things Thy Most Holy Will.

It is considered a very important manuscript as it is
one of the earliest examples of a Missal of an English source.
Sarum Missals were books produced by The Church during The Middle Ages for Celebrating Mass throughout the year.

Society of St. Bede — Liturgical Resources HERE
From “The Liturgical Year”, by Abbot Guéranger, O.S.B.
“Although the Law of Fasting began on Ash Wednesday, yet Lent, properly so called, does not begin till the Vespers of Saturday.
In order to distinguish the rest of Lent from these four days which have been added to it, The Church continues to chant Vespers at the usual hour, and allows her Ministers to break their Fast before having said that Office.
But, beginning with Saturday, Vespers will be anticipated; every day (Sundays excepted, which always exclude Fasting), they will be said at such an early hour, that when the Faithful take their full meal, the Evening Office will be over.
It is a remnant of the discipline of the primitive Church, which forbade the Faithful to break their Fast before Sunset, in other words, before Vespers or Evensong.”
With First Vespers of the First Sunday of Lent, The Office changes, and the Hymns, Proper to Lent, are now used.
With First Vespers of the First Sunday of Lent, The Office changes, and the Hymns, Proper to Lent, are now used.
The following is from HYMNS of the ROMAN LITURGY, by the Rev. Joseph Connelly, M.A.
“Quia promisit Dominus coronam vigilantibus, says The Church in the Lenten Invitatory.
“Quia promisit Dominus coronam vigilantibus, says The Church in the Lenten Invitatory.
“Lent may be looked on as a prolonged Vigilia, in which the Christian, by Prayer and Penance, is more alert than usual in imitation of Our Lord, hoping for pardon for past offences, and preparing against future temptations.
“The basis of our Prayer and Penance is Hope.
“The words “. . . promisit . . . coronam . . .” remind us of this, and so does the use of the Psalm “Qui habitat”, during The Mass of the First Sunday of Lent, and the constant use of some of its verses during the Office up to Passiontide.”
Audi Benigne Conditor is used for Vespers in the Roman and Ambrosian Breviary, and for Lauds in the Sarum Use, it was possibly written by Saint Gregory.

“Jam Christe sol justitiæ” is the Lauds Hymn; the author is unknown, but probably of the 6th-Century A.D.
The original Text “Jam Christe sol justitiæ”, has many difficulties. This caused many variants in the manuscripts, and perhaps prompted the revisers to make a smoother Text.
The first verse in the Roman Breviary is practically a new Text, “O sol salutis, intimis”, and, in the second and third verses, new ideas as well as new words have been introduced.

“Audi, benigne Conditor” is said at Vespers from Monday to Saturday, but Sunday has its own Hymn, “Aures ad nostras”, an anonymous work first attested in a manuscript of the 10th-Century from the Abbey of Saint Benedict on Monte Cassino.
